Hi Dave,

I’m not sure what the problem was. I could take widescreen footage straight from my editor “pinnacle studio”, burn a DVD and it would be fine. Put that same footage in After Effects, then render it out and it wouldn’t burn in widescreen.

As far as I could tell, I didn’t have an option when burning to change it… I might just not have seen it however.

Hi Kishan,

I’m not sure, but this could be related to the same problem I was having. When I burned DVD’s of my Rendered After Effects footage, what looked Widescreen in AE turned into Full screen “stretched” on my TV.

What worked for me was going into my comp settings in After Effects. Where it said 720 x 480, I changed to 856 x 480.

Stretch your footage to fit the new comp dimensions and hopefully you’ll be good to go.

I’m not sure if this is the proper way, but it worked for me.

If you are going HD your numbers might be different but the ratio should be the same.

Hope this helps.
