Maintainng DVD aspect ratio

All footage shot in HDV wide screen. Edited in FCP using NTSC Anamorphic. Made QT master and inserted into DVD Pro. Constructed menus in the 16:6 format. DVD Pro simulation plays in proper 16:9 format for the menus as well as the video portion.

However, when burned onto a DVD disc, the menus play in the correct 16:9 format but the video portion jumps back to the 4:3 format with black at top and bottom.

Is there a tutorial somewhere where I can read up on the proper method to achieve 16:9 format throughout playback on a DVD?

Thanks very much for your assistance.

Did you remember to set the aspect ratio for the track to 16:9? Click on the track icon in the outline view, and look in the property inspector for 'Display Mode'. Use the dropdown box there to select the ratio you want.

Hal,

I apologize for taking so long to thank you for the information that I needed. I had to make a quick trip out of state.

You are right, I failed to set the aspect ration for the track in the Display Mode.

Thanks again for your assistance.

No probs... glad you got it sorted.
