HD to SD widescreen
I’m trying to export a sequence that is 1920×1080 and downconvert this to a SD mpeg2 widescreen file so I can bring it into Encore to burn as a SD widescreen DVD. Now the problem is when it’s downconverted the PAR isn’t quite right and you can see just a little black on both sides. Is there a setting I’m missing that will allow me to fill the frame with video? BTW I’m using CS4. Here is a pic to show my problem.

Did Your try pulling the white border lines inwards? But not sure what it will looklike when you take it to Encore. See in the DVD preview befor burning.

Hi James,
The PAR is correct. What you are seeing is the production frame, not the active part of the screen. This is something something we didn’t use to see in the old days because this was lost in the overscan part of the image.
The solution (it will affect quality slightly), is to crop eight pixels on each side in your media export window.Vince Becquiot

I think you mean crop 8 pixels from top and bottom in the source monitor of the export settings. This will fill out the screen.
