Hello all,
I have been a user of the DVX100B for quite a few months now and have just begun doing contract work for advertisements, TV shows, etc. and would like to lick this problem before it becomes something of a bigger issue.
I am using Adobe Premiere CS3 to edit. When shooting in squeeze mode I can import the footage without aspect ratio problems. Everything shows up pristine and correct. But upon export the default aspect ratio for media players and Youtube seems to be 4:3 widescreen (no different whether in 24, 30, etc.). This can be corrected manually, of course, via right-clicking VLC as it plays and changing it to 16:9 and it plays beautifully again. This, however, is a hassle and does not solve the issue of posting the content online.
I have been exporting under various different combinations of settings but none seem to make the default play window correct itself. The closest I came to a weird ALMOST solution was by taking the pixel aspect ratio down to 1.0 on a quicktime dvcpro NTSC export but word art becomes distorted and it seems like there must be a better way.
The best quality render came from the following settings:
microsoft dv avi - dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 1.2 (this with a 30p clip)
though a regular microsoft avi works well along with:
quicktime dvcpro widescreen 16:9 1.2
Is there software that would be better for a re-render or adding some sort of tag to identify the aspect ratio without losing quality? Or is there some stupid thing that I'm missing like carrying the one in a math equation? Should I render in some freak DVCPRO HD mode? Help!
Anyway, appreciate any help the forum gods could offer. Thanks much!
