    Yeah thats what had me confused as I originally sent a Pal DV and they sent back saying “note we require 1024×576 in dv25″….

    Are you suggesting i should just send over the original size pro res source (1920 x 1080) converted to pal dv without resizing.

    Or send it in 720×576 pal dv?

    Or could they possibly mean HDV format?

    Don’t worry about what that window say.
    720×576 and 1024×576 is the same frame but made out of different pixels, the first PAL-Anamorphic, the second Squared. Any projector should be able to display both without problem.
    Anyway, if they asked you 1024×576, do that.
    Use QT and export 1024×576.

    I used QT, exported PAL DV – 1024 x 576. Progressive.

    They are mentioning that playback on their PC they get the wrong aspect ratio : https://i.imgur.com/JNmMsOE.png

    Whereas on mac its fine: https://i.imgur.com/iVJCYsd.png

    Its clear to me that whats happening is on mac the computer sees the anamorphic tag and displays the video at the correct 1024 x 576 whereas on PC its not & displaying it at 720 x 576, which messes up all the proportions of the video.

    Just found out its not a projector they use but a giant LED screen.

    Their PC”s are really old so that might be the issue, my concern is that will it play back ok (seeing the anamorphic tag) on the giant LED as it does on the mac… and not as it does on the PC?
