  16:9 prep

  Posted by Todd Morgan on April 27, 2005 at 6:42 pm

  What is the best way to prep for 16:9 output to DVD? Here are options I am considering:

  1- create project at 864×480, then fit to 720×480 and output to Mpeg2
  2- create project at 864×480, then set output mode to resize while saving to Mpeg2

  or

  3- create project using 720×480 widescreen preset?

  I notice that using option 3, my gfx look jiggy when I use pixel correction toggle, but they look clean when using 864×480 method.

  Any help ?!?!?!?

  Thanks!

  I would use Option 3. The image will look “jiggy” with Pixel Aspect Correction on but that’s normal – it’s just a preview but will render out just fine. You then choose 16:9 footage options from within your DVD software.
