I don't know the answer for the PC. For the Mac, you build out a high-resolution format video and drag it into Compressor (or use export using Compressor from Final Cut Pro). From there, you drag your presets to that video [apple tv, ipod, wmv, 3gp, ogg] and click submit and it makes all the

If I'm an average video guy who just wants to make video, how would I know whether I'm conforming or not? I have a vision, my camera shoots at this resolution, I can output files in the same resolution from my video editor, so how am I *not* conforming? Im not sure if this is related, but

Right - was just going to say that it sounds like HDV. You have to compress that first into some sort of quicktime or wmv, converting it to square pixels in the process so that it's one of those resolutions that Bill said - 1280 x 720, 640 x 360, etc. - Verdi On Jan 15, 2008 4:27 PM, Jake

Well its certainly true that many people are used to the video they get from the net being square pixel aspect ratio, and it may seem strange to want otherwise. There probably is a logic to not wanting to resize to 1920, its more pixels so the compression/quality may be less optimal than
