Wow – how appropriate. I’m having a very similar problem.

We shot in HDV 1080i. Extremely odd final delivery format because it’s for a video billboard, they want square pixel uncompressed quicktime in this non-standard aspect ratio. (But I’ll probably have questions about that later on another topic.)

Right now I’m simply trying to create a decent quality web compressed version of the video that we edited in FCP for client approval. I keep getting the same problem. Doesn’t appear in 16:9 keeps showing up as 4:3.

I’ll try the solution with Quicktime Conversion and 704 x 400 pixels – but does this also compress for QT web streaming? Or preferably – I’d like to post this as a Flash video for them.

Any solutions?
