He would then like us to produce a "commercial video loop" that we would burn on DVD that would promote our various services and specials. The problem (or not, that's why I'm asking) is that the TV would have to be mounted sideways so that the wide screen becomes a tall screen. Now, I'm not familiar with video producing/editing applications but I'm willing to learn. Who knows, it might lead to more business producing them for our customers. My question is in two parts; without getting too expensive, what software can/should I be using to produce the video. And does said software allow you to produce a video that's rotated 90 degrees to that it's taller than it is wide?</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>The MacDV list may be a better place to ask this question:<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><<A href="http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/macdv">http://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/macdv</A>></DIV><DIV><BR></DIV>--</DIV><DIV>Nick Scalise</DIV><DIV><A href="mailto:nickscalise@cox.net">nickscalise@cox.net</A></DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
