[HELP] PAL VHS source - cropping and PAR

[Selur]

No clue what's the best way.
Here's how I would do it in Hybrid:

• load your source
  
• start "Filtering->Vapoursynth->Vapoursynth preview" and scroll to a scene where you can properly see the bars (to have a live view of what you are doing)
  
• enable "Crop/Resize->Base->Picture Crop" and adjust the cropping so you get rid of all you want to crop
  
• enable "Crop/Resize->Base->Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)->Cronvert output to PAR"
  
• set "Crop/Resize->Base->Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)->Cronvert output to PAR" to "Square Pixel (1:1)"
  Hybrid will then automatically activate ("Crop/Resize->Base->Resize) and by default adjust the height to keep the current width.
  
• Adjust either the target resolution width or height (depending on what 'Auto adjust' is set to) to you liking/needs.
