DVD Authoring Question: 16:9 Source
Some DVD authoring programs (IDVD, Ulead) cannot handle both 4:3 and 16:9 (widescreen source).
On some m2v files, the 16:9 screen images are squished vertically to fit the 4:3 format. In the past I was able to manually import the m2v file into my editing software, adjust the widescreen (make the image smaller) so it fit back down into a 4:3 frame and render, then re-export. This takes too much time to do for each vid.
is there a setting we can shoot for (Final Cut or Adobe Premiere or TMPEGEnc) that will export 16:9 images so the widescreen source is pre-adjusted to fit into the 4:3 TV screen?

There really isn't a difference - I think I used aspect ratio the first time I did it - but I like the mathematical exactictude of using pixel measurements (distort) vs. percentages (aspect ratio) because I'm a freak and 33.3333 etc. bugs me. *g* But since it rounds anyway, no, there's absolutely no difference AFAIK.
Thanks for the tip about creating a new sequence. I've never done that! Funky. I must admit, the G5 has spoiled me.
