    I’m having a problem when I export a final sequence to DVD, it seems to never be displayed in its native 16:9 format. It will stretch the image to fit a 4:3 T.V, I’m sure there’s a simple solution, but I can’t seem to figure out the problem.

    Thanks

    Two things to check:

    1. When you encode the sequence in your encoder, are you changing the default 4:3 properties of the encoder to 16:9?

    2. In your authoring application, are you defining the footage as 16:9?

    A little more detail on the DVD authoring application would help. If using Avid DVD, click on the Movie asset, and in its property, you should find a setting which states the aspect ratio. Make sure that is set to 16:9.
