Can't create DVD video file in widescreen

[f1cola]

Hello,

I just upgraded to the X4. I never had this problem with the X3. I use a hitachi camcorder and the clips it produces are mpeg.
The settings I use on the X4 are the default settings. When I place the clips on the timeline, they show up as 16:9. When I press play, they are still in 16:9 format.

However, when I create a video file using option DVD 16:9, I get the following problem. While the clip is playing, it will start as 16:9 then change to 4:3 and then back to 16:9 again and so on.

Is there a setting that I'm supposed to change. This never happened with the X3.

Thank you,

Nick

Here is an update.

I can get it to work if I use the "Same as first clip" option when rendering or if I use the custom option. Do either of these options give me the same quality as the DVD 16:9 option when burning DVDs?

Thank you

Nick

Hi Nick

and welcome to the forum, sorry for the delay in the reply..........

Can you tell us the properties of your video files?.
Right click a clip in the timeline and select Properties, What are they.?
Do this for all video types used.

What are your project properties, Settings – Project Properties, they should be set to 16:9.

After editing you have a choice to Share Create Disc or Share Create Video File.
Which option are you using.?

If the resolution of your video is 352X480 (Half DVD,) then 4:3 is all you get.
