M2T to .mov
I have been having a difficult time rendering out HD M2T files to .mov. (Quicktime) and AVI. Everytime I do, whether it’s in Vegas 8.0c or 8.1 the files still come out to 4:3, unless I render to WMV or M2T. If I render to .mov, avi, or anything else, the video comes out 4:3. I have always had this problem in 8.1, but recently the problem has been happening in 8.0c. Is anyone else having these problems?
I have all my settings correct. 1440×1080. When I render the .mov file the pixel aspect is 1.333, field order is upper field first (does this matter) and I am using the project settings of 1440×1080. I render the video and it comes out 4:3 in both 8.0c and 8.1?
Any suggestions? I need to be able to output .mov files.

to what codec in a mov container? it may be you’re using a codec that doesn’t allow for widescreen or non-square pixels. What is the purpose of outputting to .mov?

What makes you think the video is coming out 4:3? Have you added it back to the Vegas timeline and checked the properties to make sure the PAR of 1.3333 is being recognized? What Quicktime codec are you using? You could always render to 1920×1080 which uses square pixels (PAR 1.000).

Thanks for the response guys. My client needs the video in .mov, so that I why I am rendering it that way. When I put the .mov file into 8.1, it’s 4:3. When I put it into 8.0c, it’s 16:9. Will my client have to open up the file and convert it to 1.333 on their timeline? When I put the video into my compression software (Moyea) to convert to flash, the video shows up 4:3, eventhough it shows up 16:9 in 8.0c and I rendered it that way. So multiple formats are showing it 4:3. My video player is (VLC media player) and my compression sofware it. So if all these mediums are showing it 4:3, then it must be.
I am using Photo JPEG-A as the compression. Should I use something else. It does this with all of them, even uncompressed. Errrr!

Jason, you didn’t respond to the most important part of the question. .mov is merely a container. Like saying “my clients want their video in a blue plastic bag.”
What codec are you rendering to for the .mov format? Some cannot deliver widescreen. Others are not optimal for HD.Douglas Spotted Eagle

By codec do you mean video format? I am using Photo-JPEG A format when rendering the .mov files.

I am obviously using the wrong Codec, what format is best used when rendering in .mov while using HD MT2 video? Thanks Douglas.

PAR 1.000 worked. Thanks

Great! I was composing an answer to your other posts while you posted this so let me take you through the anwsers anyway. 😉
> So multiple formats are showing it 4:3. My video player is (VLC media player) and my compression sofware it. So if all these mediums are showing it 4:3, then it must be.
No, it might mean that all of those players are clueless as to what pixel aspect ratio is because they are PC players where 1 pixel always equals 1 pixel. So they are showing you your video with a PAR 1.000 and ignoring the PAR of 1.3333. This is why I asked.
> John, should I outpost to 1920×1080 when I as shooting in 1440x1080ix12
1440 * 1.3333 = 1920. If the players you are using do not understand PAR then you have no choice but to convert to a PAR of 1.000 which means 1920×1080. It’s just two different ways of arriving at the same resolution.
