Re: Properties for Rendering
If you are wanting to create a widescreen output from 4:3 source material, here is a link to a write up that I did on this a while back:

You can also crop to other, wider aspect ratios like 1.85:1 (there’s a preset for that), 2.35:1, 2..5:1, etc. . . . but remember that when you render out to Widescreen, it always renders 16:9 – so your picture will have black bars at those aspect ratios. That’s fine. All of your widescreen Hollywood DVDs are that way. This black space is actually a good place to put things like subtitles.
You do, however, need to be sure to match the setup or the black bars in your clip and the black 16:9 bars created by your DVD player won’t match. (This won’t be an issue on widescreen TVs.)
