Importing clips from DVD and other formats

[Passerelle]

We made an interview (DVCPro50) with the Panasonic HVX-200 and had to also add clips from a DVD, the internet... When I bring the DVD clips (mpeg) into Premiere CS3 I have to stretch the frame in the Program monitor so the two clips will be the same size. Everything looks the same size in the Program monitor, but when I export the movie I get a black stripe on both the top and bottom of the frame in the only. Can someone help me understand and fix the problem?

The PAR for the interview is 0.9 (720X480)


and the PAR for the clips added to the timeline is the same but there is a black frame all around. (the dimensions of the image is 540X428 (PAR???).

I want to make the video image fit the frame without the black frame around. I use the scale in the video effects panel, but when I export the video I get a black stripe on the top and bottom in the interview section only. I did try interpret footage with no success.



All help is appreciated, Thanks

Thought of comming back and tell how I resolved the problem:

Started a new project with 4:3 format instead of 16:9. Imported my 16:9 interviews in the new project along with the DVD clips. Solution was easier to find than I thought and the quality of DVD clips is better because I did not have to stretch them to fit the 16:9 size.
