Good ladies and gentlemen of this forum, I crave your indulgence to save my sanity!
I'm trying to create a 16x9 DVD, but I'm obviously missing a simple step somewhere.
If I export from FCP in Quicktime or MPEG 2, the file plays okay (wide) on the desktop.
I then import to DVDSP; if I double click on the file in the 'asset' window it, again, plays in the correct aspect ratio.
When, however, I drag the file to a track, it becomes 4x3 every time. If I burn a DVD, it also plays 4x3.
I've got the encoding bit of preferences set to 16x9; is there another setting I've missed? I've set and reset everything so many times that if I were... (no, sorry. Better not do the red setter joke).
Incidentally, I don't think my FCP exporting is faulty; I made a short test DVD by dragging a file directly to Toast. It worked fine.
Most grateful for any hints, tips, used banknotes, etc.
Cheers,
Ol.
