Assuming you shoot 4:3 or 4:3 Letterbox...

[EditPhish]

I'm trying to gather as much info on this topic as possible...

Let say you shoot 4:3 letterbox, OR you shoot 4:3 and matte in the letterbox in your NLE.

When you're done editing/scoring etc., what are the steps (and software) you use to crop out the blackbars and end up with a truly 16:9 Anamorphic output for DVD?

And, in your method of doing so, do you believe you're losing any quality?


Thanks!

DVX100A shooting in Letter box mode + Photozoom Pro = :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Okay, assuming you don't want to use the Photozoom Pro method...

Not that I have anything against it, but doing anything longer than about 10 minutes worth of footage could be... well, ugh.
