  Downconverting 720p Square Pixels to D1 for broadcast

  Posted by Mauro Moreira on November 23, 2010 at 2:09 pm

  Hello guys, i`m having a little problem here.
  I edited a 720p video with square pixels, and now i need to export in DV50 720×486 Lower Field for broadcasting.
  I`ve tried Compressor, FCP and QT to do the job, but the best result i got from After Effects. But in all of them, despite of the overall quality, the video is a little bit streched, because of the pixel ratio i think, and a can`t get it right…
  PS: Also the AE keep exporting 720×480 instead of 720×486…
  Is there a way to keep the pixels when going to DV 50 ?

  Thanks,
  Mauro,

  DV 50 has a frame size of 720 x 480, same as DV and MPEG2. So it is not square, but it is also not CCIR 601, or 720 x 486.
