Rendering chages aspect ratio help

[andysleigh]

Hi

Iv been trying to render some basic video clips so i can then burn to a dvd, but everytime i render it comes out in 4:3 , as againt 14:9 which the video clips are in. It showes the file thumbnail as 4:3, and when burned to a dvd will play in 4:3, but when played in media player from the file, it plays in 16:9
Iv ever had this problem before.

can anybody shed anylight onto why its doing this?

thanks
Andy

Check that you have 16:9 aspect ratio set in the render settings and not 4:3 Choose the DVD Widscreen template.

You should be using MPEG2 at 720x576 widescreen (if UK PAL)
