setting to use for DVD widescreen
Hi everyone,
Forgive my academic question, but I have a PPro CS5 project, the source is HD 1920×1080 (H.264) 29.97 fps. After finishing my edits in PPRo, I want to encode the sequence for use in Adobe Encore and eventually burn to a DVD, so I export to Adobe Media Encoder. All good so far.
So here’s the issue:
I want to encode to 720×480 Progressive Widescreen. I choose MPEG2-DVD and two black bars appear on either side of the output .m2v file (in Media Encoder). I used to be a Sony Vegas user and never saw these bars, and I’m not sure how to be rid of them.
I tried several different presets, but whenever “widescreen 16:9” is chosen (no matter what the encoding method), the bars appear.
All help appreciated.

These bars are due to the pixel aspect ratio.
Only way to get rid of them is to crop in the Export Settings.
By the way no need to make the dvd progressive, most dvd players can handle interlaced footage just fine.
