I have some footage from a hard disk drive camera that I have captured
using imovie '08.<br>
<br>
Quicktime player reports it as being MPEG-2 SD Camcorder video, 720 x
576 (1024 x 576)<br>
<br>
When I try making a DVD of this footage, it is squashed. that is the
original 16:9 footage is forced to 4:3, <br>
making all my subjects look incredibly skinny.<br>
<br>
<br>
I intitally tried sharing to media browser (large 960 x 540) , then
using idvd. : squashed .. <br>
<br>
<br>
then using the footage at Movies/imovie events/ new event , visual hub
to dvd .... result squashed<br>
<br>
then using the footage at Movies/imovie events/ new event, toast
titanium 6 to dvd ..... result squashed<br>
<br>
I then tried share from imovie using quicktime at 1024 x 576 .... I got
an estimate of 380 minutes for 1minute 53 second clip <br>
and after 2 hours, the progress bar was halfway, but the time had
increased!<br>
<br>
I have access to many programs .. I'm at a school<br>
final cut studio 4<br>
imovie 08, HD<br>
adobe premiere<br>
visual hub <br>
toast 6<br>
<br>
What is my best bet to get this stuff to DVD without distortion?<br>
BTW does sharing to media browser save a copy of the video somewhere
other than Movies/imovie events/ new event ?<br>
<br>
Sorry if this is previously answered, I can't search the archives!<br>
