How to output a 16:9 movie to a DVCAM deck without letter boxing it
I need to take a 16:9 movie, convert it to the DV codec so I can then export it to a DSR25 DVCAM deck via firwire. How do I squeeze the 16:9 footage onto the 4:3 DVCAM format, so when I play the footage from deck the deck it will be unsqueezed by the 16:9 monitor and play back normally?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

you send it out full screen (so people look like egg heads)
then play it back on a CRT that has a 16:9 switch to squeeze it.
that’s the only method I’m aware of since decks and monitors don’t detect

[Chris Borjis] “then play it back on a CRT that has a 16:9 switch to squeeze it.”
Just a typo I am sure, but the monitor stretches the anamorphic (squeezed) image

the switch “squeezes” it down to letterbox mode so it looks normal.
unsqueezed it looks goofy.
