cjenness Posted August 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2007 What kind of file? I've burned 16:9 using DV AVI and MPEG 2 files with no problem. In fact, you don't even have to have a 16:9 menu for a 16:9 movie to playback properly. It's a DV AVI file that I made with a Canon Elura. It previews as widescreen when I edit, but when I render it, it displays as 4:3, and when I play back the DVD, it is also 4:3. I don't see a 16:9 option. What kind of file? I've burned 16:9 using DV AVI and MPEG 2 files with no problem. In fact, you don't even have to have a 16:9 menu for a 16:9 movie to playback properly. Sorry, it was a DV file.

I had my DVD player set on "4:3", rather than "shadowbox" playback. This may be the reason I didn't see the black bands, and the image was compressed to 4:3. I will check it on a widescreen TV with the DVD player set on "widescreen". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrussell Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 Most people overlook the DVD player settings. If the movie is 16:9, the DVD player must be set to 'letterbox'. For a widescreen TV, the DVD player needs to be set for 'widescreen'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
