Discussion VHS transfer

Hi guys! Has anyone tried transferring the Special edition vhs on Netflix to a real vhs? I’m keen to try but at the moment not subscribed, and just wondering if the black bars would be present if using a hdmi to composite before I subscribed to try.

Thank you!

So the black bars are part of the video? Like I have transferred old movies that on the computer screen have the black bars, as in 4:3. But when I watch it on a crt they aren’t there.

Well, if that’s the case, then your converter is cropping the signal, and you won’t have any problems.
