Pixel Aspect Ratio = 8:9 in QT Pro
Not quite a Final Cut Pro question, but hope it’s close enough.
A client needs a digital spot with the following specs:
Video frame size = 720×480 (NTSC)
Frame per sec = 29.97
Aspect ratio = video=4:3; pixels=8:9
Audio = stereo
Sample rate = 48000
Audio bit rate = 224kbpsProblem is I only have QuickTime Pro on hand.
I think I’m OK w/ most settings, but the one that concerns me is the pixel aspect ratio, asking for “8:9”, not. “.9”.
Is using the DV/DVCPRO – NTSC setting correct, along w/ setting the size at NTSC 720×480 4:3?
Also, with an audio bit rate specified, AAC seems to be the only format that allows for 224kbs quality. Any thoughts?
Thanks, and hope it’s OK I posted here.

I would double check to see if that is a typo.
4×3 aspect equals 0.9 pixel aspect and with the 720×480 I think you will be fine. If you use the aac encoder that will be fine too.
I would ask about the pixel aspect, but based on the other specs it all looks standard to me.

That’s what I thought, but wasn’t sure.
Would it matter if this is headed for a TV station in the Caribbean?

No… its only NTSC or PAL… Caribean should be NTSC
