anamorphic
My short film was short on a XL-2, in 16×9 aspect ratio.
When I digitized them into the computer, the setting was DV PAL (720×576) and the Anamorphic 16:9 box was checked.
Is this the right setting? Suppose I have the same sequence settings?
When I watch my masters/source tapes playback on tv, the picture is squeezed to 4:3. How do I make sure that the final output on to DV is not squeezed?
Thanks.

After you’ve edited the anamorphic footage, create a new sequence that isn’t anamorphic, and simply drag the 16:9 sequence to it. Render it. Then it will become letterboxed on a 4:3 set playing back from tape.
If you create a DVD with this footage you don’t have to do this however, just turn on the 16:9 setting in Compressor or DVD SP 3, select whether or not you want it letterboxed or “pan and scanned”, and automatically it will be letterboxed on a TV set that’s 4:3, and will also fill the screen on a 16:9 set.
