Moderators - Can we submit letterboxed

Dude, you are making my blood pressure go up ;) !! I think I've mentioned quite a few times I HAVE been trying a variety of different ways. I've used After Effects, AE Plugins, Final Cut, Encoders... and if you look in my garbage can there are the 10 DVD-Rs to prove it. They all looked like crap on 4:3 TVs and big screen 16:9.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I'm really trying to help. I mean I am searching online for Final Cut solutions right now. I am not familiar with that system, so I am sorry. I'm only trying to help out.
 
Dude, I'm just frustrated... I have tried so many different ways and they just look like garbage. And it's even more frustrating that when I convert out my own internet version (as letterbox) I get something I'm happy with, as opposed to all stretched out or soft quality.
 
Well... I am talking with a friend who has worked on both Avid and FC, and he said the method is essentially the same. Stretch the footage. He said he did that on some of the shots for a Linkin Park DVD he made. I think that's what you'll end up having to do. Sorry I can't help more.
 
Well I did that already and it looked poopie on my 16:9 TV. Horrible? Maybe not, but definitely not as sharp as prior to stretching... and I really don't want to be submitting a film that looks soft... that's not why I bought this expensive camera :huh:
