How to make a 16x9 SD-DVD?
by Bill Thomas on Jun 12, 2008 at 3:42:29 pm

Not sure if this should be in this forum or the FCP forum, so I'll try here first:

How would I make a 16x9 Standard def DVD out of FCP thru my IO HD? Basically just like a store-bought movie.

Original sequence is 720p 59.94. I can downconvert to 525 using "letterbox" in the downconversion settings. This gives me my full 16x9 image, but leaves black on all sides. Anamorphic just squishes it, and crop cuts off the edges.

How is it that movies on a store-bought DVD can resize to fit a widescreen TV? Right now I'm going out of the IO HD straight into my DVD recorder. Should I be using DVD SP instead? Are there some SD-DVD settings in there?

Thanks for any help...

Bill
