    My source material is HDV (16×9), So after I use Compressor to make my mpeg 2, for a SD DVD, it makes it 720 x 404, which is close, but all the material I can see including a converter I have for proper ratios for video, say a 16 x 9 sd dvd should be 720 x 405…which is correct? I know I can open up the mpeg 2 in QT Pro and change it to 405 but why does it come out of Compressor at 720 x 404? Which is right?

    Thanks

    That’s a display aspect ratio only being reported by Quicktime. The acutal size of your vidoe is 720×480, it’s just anamorphic and QT displays the 16×9.

    Don’t worry about it, you should have the video sized to 720×480 and make sure your aspect ratio is set to D1/DV Widescreen.
