Agreed. The math works out.
I'm just not sure why other NLE's do it differently (correct?/incorrect?). For example, when you export out a Anamorphic DV NTSC sequence from FCP7 you'll get a 16:9 image. It will use a 1.1862 PAR and leave you with an 854x480 Quicktime movie in your codec of choice.
You're dead on about the "Stretch to Fill" working fine to get rid of any black borders when converting the image to a 16:9 ratio...no problems there. I'm just trying to figure out why each NLE maker seems to approach this a bit differently. In a perfect world 16:9 would always be 16:9! ;-)
Thanks for the tips though. I appreciate it.
