no matter what I do, I cannot create a widescreen project in SD. (dvdit pro 6.3) I set the project to widescreen at start. I export a widescreen (rendered pan and san out of avid to set the native to 16:9) QT Ref. mov which I import to the project. I set the movie properties to 16:9 in dvdit. but it still plays as bad aspect ratio 4:3 stretch. What can I do about this?

Yankee...I know in the preferences you can set the aspect ratio. Under Author you should se the menu aspect and a checkbox for maintain aspect ratio and scale similar images up to this size. In addition, under Simulation there is a tab for aspect ratio (but I think this is just for the simulation portion). Last but not least, every asset will have the ability to set the aspect ratio. I have found that everything needs to be set one way, and when it is, everything will go that one way. I know its been a little buggy for me but I haven't played with it much. Hope that helps though.
