Mpeg2 export query
Hey all,
I have a video file which has a frame size of 848 x 480. I am trying to create an mpeg2 of this, maintaining the original frame size (no letterboxed 720 as an option). I having extreme difficulty in figuring out this problem.
I have tested the following programs with no success:
Adobe After Effects 7 (error in rendering a 848 frame size)
Quicktime 7 (no Mpeg2 export option)
Compressor (only renders with 720 letterbox, no adjustment of frame size on mpeg2)
Mpeg Streamclip (no Mpeg2 option)
Compressor (only renders with 720 letterbox)
Squeeze (invalid horizontal size of 848)
and
Cleaner XL (cannot adjust frame size from 720×480)Do you have a suggestion on another program to use, or a way to troubleshoot either After Effects or Compressor? I can use either Mac or PC.
I know 848 x 480 is a strange frame size, especially for a mpeg2, but its what the client wants and if history has taught me a lesson, its deliver according to client specifications.
Let me know, a response today would be most helpful.

MPEG-2 does not support a frame size of 848×480, the maximum horizontal dimension for SD material is 720
So, transcode to a frame size of 720×480 and set the output frame aspect ratio to 16:9. This is easy to do in compressor, Squeeze and cleaner
This will only play back as letterboxed on a 4:3 display but will fill the screen (just) on a 16:9 display.
