Re: Pixel aspect ratio in Adobe Media Encoder

Why don't you try this:

Create TWO AE comps, one in 720x576 (4x3 for PAL TV sets) and one in the 4x3 square-pixel aspect ratio of your choice for Windows Media, like 720x540, then do all the AE work in the 720x576 comp.

It's an easy matter to nest the 720x576 comp in the 720x540 comp, and scale the nested layer to fit the comp size. Render each in the codec of your choice.

OR: Render only the 720x576 comp, reinport the file into AE, and nest the file in a 720x540 square-pixel comp, scaling the layer as before.
