pillarboxing 4:3 when exporting to 16:9
Hi Everybody
I am trying to export a 4:3 quicktime file to DVC PRO HD 720P 60 codec . When I do this, the picture comes all streched. Is there a setting in compressor that will take the 4.3 image and maybe pillarbox it to retain the correct ratio of the picture.
Many thanks.
Zee.

Are you trying to mix 4:3 Standard Def footage with 720p footatge? Why change codecs?
DVC Pro HD is an anamorphic setting. The image size is 960 x 720(4:3). Full raster 720p is 1280 x 720(16:9). Compressor changes your 4:3 footage to anamorphic because of the settings anamorphic pixel aspect.
Try adding your setting and then with you new setting sellected go to the geometry tab in the inspector window and change the pixel aspect ratio to “PAL CCIR 601” for PAL or “NTSC CCIR 601” for NTSC. Im not sure what the “Default” pixel aspect would do but that might be worth trying and testing as well.
I hope this works for you.
