I hope I can explain this without sounding like an idiot.
I shot a video with an HDV camera, but I was actually downconverting upon capture. rather than using the letter-box option, I accidently used the "squeeze" option. When I brought my footage into FCP, it looked great, and the canvas just adjusted to show an 854x480. I did my edit with everything looking the way I wanted it, but when I exported a reference video, it is squeezed into a 720x480 video vertically stretching everything to a 3x4 ratio.
I found a workaround by bringing THAT video into mpegstreamclip which reads it at it's native 854x480 resolution and I can export from there...but I want to deliver to DVD and would rather just export straight out of FCP. Any ideas?
