    Hi Chris,

    A little more info would be helpful – what is the source, destination (DVD?), project settings?

    If working with widescreen DV or HDV, then simply Export using a 16:9 DVD setting and the DVD player should recognize when using a 4:3 display and it will letterbox the footage on output.

    If you want actual 4:3 video with black bars, then edit the footage in a 4:3 project
