Creating 4×3 that is DVCPRO HD 720p compatible
I am exporting a bunch of encoded DVD footage to be imported in a DVCPRO HD 720p 59.94 project. Unfortunately it is all 4×3 and I don’t know what the best settings are, in MPEG streamclip, to export so that there is no needing to render out the 4×3 footage.
Any suggestions?

I am guessing sending this out to a dub house for a high quality upconversion is not in your budget…and also you do not have a Kona or Decklink, which can do a decent upconvert on the fly during capture…
If you want to work without rendering in FCP, you should probably do this in 2 stages.
Export from Streamclip as Uncompressed 8 bit SD. Then take those files into Compressor and upconvert them to DVCPRO HD 720p/59.94. In the geometry controls in Compressor, you can select to pillarbox the 4:3 image in a 16:9 frame or blowup/crop to fill the frame. Be sure to turn on the Frame Controls and set the Resize to Better or Best, as well as the de-interlacing.
