Is it possible to resize a DVD menu from 16:9 to 4:3 without any headaches/re-design?

[Richard Harrington]

well…. I assume they are just backgrounds or you are using highlight layers.

Here is my suggestion

1. Image > Pixel Aspect ratio > Square
2. Resize to 860 X 480 (unconstrain proportions)
3. Set Crop Tool to 640 px by 480 px and Crop part you want to keeo

If your DVD program recognize square pixels…. bring in as is

If not..

4. Resize to 720 X 480 (distort)
5. Image > PAR. NTSC (.9)

Hi,

Thanks for this – do you know the cropping dimensions for PAL?

Cheers,
