capturing widescreen video

[Ish]

Hi

I have a tape that was recorded in widescreen mode. If it's captured to pc using a camcorder that doesn't do widescreen will it capture in widescreen or 4:3?

Thanks

4:3, with some wasted space at the top and bottom of the picture. Are you pointing the camcorder at the tv or something?
