Hey all, weird project here. Client had a DVD made from a TV shoot that he wanted to make into a concert video. Ripped the DVD to a DV AVI file, and used the "Match Media Settings" function for the project. When finished, the client says the video is stretched and wrong. Assuming the majority of people have widescreen TV's and don't like to or know how to deal with different aspect ratios, he wants to release the DVD as a 16:9 without video distortion. I'm confused as to what settings I need to alter, and at what point in the process, to achieve the best conversion from 4:3 to 16:9. The AVI file is 720 X 480 with a pixel aspect ratio of 0.9091. Do I need to alter either of those at the media or Vegas project level? When rendering, I assume I need to select 16:9 aspect ratio, but do I need to alter anything else? Should I select "stretch video to fill output frame size?" And in DVDA, the media aspect ratio is of course 1.2121 if I select NTSC widescreen. Does that matter? If somebody could walk this clueless audio guy through the best way to make this happen, I'd greatly appreciate it.
