Exporting Widescreen Footage? Blowing up in DVD output?
Hello!
I am behind (hopefully this will change soon) and am running Premiere 1.0, Encore 1.01 and AE 7.
I never ran into this issue before (years ago when I started working with premiere and encore on a very amateur level), but when I export to burn to DVD, everything checks off as 16:9. My project is widescreen, when i export, i use the media encoder (mpeg 2 4 mb 2 pass) and i only change the aspect ratio to 16:9.
No matter what I do, when I burn the DVDs it looks as if the whole screen has been expanded! lol
Is this a premiere issue? I have transcoded from encore to specify 16:9 as well. what am i doing wrong? it must be me, right?

Please post a screen capture of the Adobe Media Encoder window showing the video settings.

I should have thought of that myself. Will do so when I get home today. Thank you Eddie!

Hmm, the settings do indeed look correct. I forgot how little control one has in those old versions.
I would recommend you export from PPro as DV AVI and do the MPEG transcode in Encore.

Hi Eddie!
Yeah I tried that also to no avail! ack!

Please use a utility like GSpot to double-check that your clips are indeed anamorphic and not letterboxed.
See these troubleshooting tips.

Hmmm. I agree with Eddie.
Does the disc play incorrectly on just one player, or does it have the same issue on other players (standalone or computer)?Vince

I tested it on two different DVD players; mine and my neighbor’s.

Going back to your first post, is your source material 16:9 or are you exporting 4:3 as 16:9?
I imagine that the video frame is stretched horizontally?
Can you test the Adobe Media Encoder MPEG2 file on a desktop DVD player like power dvd?
If it is stretched in power dvd, than it is likely to be stretched.Vince

And this is where I get completely bewildered.
My source is 16:9 from a Sony PD-150. My compositions (both in Premiere and anything in AE) are 16:9. I export and set the export ratio to 16:9. In Encore, the timeline indicates the footage is 16:9.
When I watch the AVI export in Media player – it is 16:9.
When I transcode the file to 16:9 4mb (or even 7mb) and burn it, it plays full screen. More like the 16:9 footage is proportionately expanded to get rid of the bars.
