I does say the pixel aspect ratio is HD 1440×1080, field dominance is upper. I’ll put it in compressor now and see what happens. Sorry for my panic.

The 4:3 came out of FC when I changed the settings as you instructed. I didn’t change anything else. I haven’t put anything in compressor yet. This is what exported:

Format:Apple ProRes 422, 1440 x 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz

FPS: 29.97

Data Size: 81.6 GB

OK–I did just what you said and now I have a movie that is 4:3 instead of 16:9. I’d like to keep the 16:9.

Thank you so much. I can do this. I’ll let you know in a couple days how it turns out.
Many thanks.

I don’t think you’re being mean and I’m sorry for my ignorance. I am trying to learn.

OK–so sorry, I’ll try to do better. I exported out of FCP. It is an 87 minute .mov that is saved on my external hard drive. It is an HD movie.
It is saved as a QT movie. I followed your instructions for HD SHow to SD dvd and put that QT movie into compressor. I picked dvd 90 minutes best quality and the audio that goes with it. So, it has been rendering all night and now says 1:25 remaining under the loading bar in history.
Thank you.
