P2 Card Footage to Standard DVD
Hi,
I am creating a Standard DVD for a client. The HD footage was shot in 720P on a P2 Card. The Native Sequence settings are 960 x 720.
These settings makes the footage letter box on a regular DVD. My work flow was
FCP edits – Sent to compressor – DVD: Best Quality 90 minutes – DVD Studio Pro.
The result as said before was letter boxed.
I went back and tried to change the sequence settings to 720 x 480 and in final cut pro the footage was letter boxed, when I clicked the anamorphic button, the footage looked letter box and stretched.
In summary, my question is what settings do I use for P2 Card Footage (960 x 720) to be of good quality and not letter-boxed on a Standard DVD?

So you don’t want it to be 16:9? You want it to be 4:3 full frame?

Yes 4:3

I Can only see two options
– crop the picture so it fits in 4:3
Or
– stretch it..but it won’t be good lookingBut the best solution would be to just make a 16:9 DVD
Yours Sincerely
