16:9 question

Hi guys.

I've shot footage 4:3 and I've framed for 2:35:1. I want to make a widescreen dvd where the footage will play in 2:35:1. I've heard folks say that I can stretch the footage in fcp.

My question is, how exactly do I accomplish this?

I believe that I need to transfer the footage to an anamorphic sequence but the "sides" of the frame are cut off.

Would I still have to apply the widescreen matte filter.

Please explain to me in laymans terms.

Also, if I play the dvd footage back on a non widescreen tv will it display the proper 2:35:1 frame or will the footage have to be displayed on a widescreen tv to see the 2:35:1 aspect ratio.
 
check off 'anamorphic' next to the footage in the bin.

then drag to a new sequence. when it says 'match sequence settings' select 'yes'.

techincally your footage will be squished (top to bottom), but this will be 16:9.
