i was basing the TV viewing off of an earlier build where Encore had done the encoding. Because it looked identical to what Encore was transcoding, I assumed it was doing this on my later builds. As it turns out, Encore’s preview does this always, regardless of whether or not it transcodes the footage. You can see how this would be incredibly frustrating.
Does the HD preview do the same for you?

I just found out what was happening. Encore’s preview is terrible and doesn’t reflect the quality of the streams. I encoded the files using AE and brought them into Encore. Since Encore didn’t need to transcode them, it passed them directly to the disc. The key to this is to encode in something else.
I was used to DVD Studio Pro where it would show you exactly what your streams would look like instead of a proxy. Adobe should give some consideration to fixing this. Would clear up a lot of confusion.
After this experience, I’ll definitely switch to Apple’s solution when it comes out.

changing the file interpretation only changed how the timeline appears, changing it from one aspect to another ( 4:3 to 16:9 ). The only way I’ve gotten it to recognize the square pixel ratio is to do an export to Blu-Ray from the render Q. When I import that file ( both MPEG2 and H.264 ), it sees the square pixels, but still not in HD.
I have to admit that I’m glad you’re seeing this problem too. Makes me think I’m not that crazy after all.
