    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.
