    Copied and pasted from ‘another place’ (google!)………….

    I have downloaded and started to play with the Vegas demo (I have no previous experience from Vegas).

    The PAL DV widescreen aspect ratio in Vegas is stated as 1.4568. In Premiere the aspect ratio is stated as 1.422 and in EasyChanger as 0.7031 (which is the the same as the inverted value ratio stated in Premiere).

    As I understand it either Vegas or Premiere have/states the wrong AR. I have captured Widescreen DV (from a Sony PDX10P which is stated to record “true” widescreen without being a native 16:9 CCD) and edited in Premiere and in Vegas. Since I’ve only encoded a short clip (about 1 minute) and I can’t view the clips side by side it’s hard to tell which gives the most accurate result. However, in Vegas as well as in Premiere it seems as part of the picture is “over the top and under the bottom”

    Sony/Sonic Foundry was very precise in determining their numbers. Most others were “close”. So, Vegas numbers are actually more accurate even though most apps use Premier’s numbers. As for Easy Changer, that number I can’t explain.

    I only asked Ed because my Vegas doesnt seem to want to give me a PAL DV Widescreen template. It will, however, give me NTSC DV Widescreen template. Wondered if there was a specific problem with PAL DV Widescreen.
