    OK, so I have finished my anamorphic film and am able to export it to a Quicktime which plays from my desktop in Quicktime in 16:9 format. When I go to put it in iDVD, it plays as letterboxed 4:3…do I need to use Compressor? And if so, how do I do that? Thanks!

    Hi Kathy,

    in which program did you finish your cut and export the Quicktime and which is the size of the Quicktime?? If you have an anamorphic sequence in Final Cut, export it to QT and encode it in compressor compressor usually recognizes it as 16:9 and flags it for use in DVD Studio/IDVD. So is your clip regular NTSC/PAL norm with anamorphic pixels??

    I finished the project in Final Cut. It is shot on Canon GL2, so NTSC in anamorphic pixels.

    So once I get into compressor, I get kinda lost – what settings would you recommend? I’ve used it before, but like I said…LOST!

    Thanks for your help!

    Hi Kathy,

    just use the basic templates that apple delivers for DVDs in compressors template window unter Apple/DVD… you got several qualitys for shorter and longer material for the MPEG and a template for the AC3-Audio in one folder. Just drag your desired quality on your clip and render. Should work fine.
