    I have tried to post numerous snapshots, but the keep getting deleted because the have black bars.

    These snapshots are taken just as the site says, from the original DVD's and using VCL Media Player, so why is it such a big deal about black bars. It's not my fault the way the film was shot.

    Please help.

    This is your actual shot, the thing you uploaded. As you see, there are still some black bars surrounding it, which have to be cropped off.

    maybe you could change the link on the upload site so that it links to this newer tutorial which is more detailed: http://siboul.free.fr/wtm/
    with that old tutorial i had similar problems when i first started uploading.
