Thanks for your info Herman
By the way, don't rely on Cinelerra to set the proper flags and parameters for aspect ratio. The project aspect ratio setting usually only affects the _display_ in the Compositor window. (Don't take my word for this, check yourself.) I don't know if this is true. I just edit my clips with a wrong aspect ratio (I see that it's wrong on compisitor) and render project with the right aspect ratio seems impossibile. I'm afraid I have to start again from the begin with the rigth apsect ratio.
