i'm 1 of the survivers....
for import/export in mpeg streamclip you should have a window
appearing where you can choose the encoder, frame format, audio
encoding/rate & more
when i import from a dvd i choose 16:9 format audio 48khz for dv output
if you use the mp4 (h264) you can choose from a number of formats
there again you can use the 426x240 or 1920x1080 to get 16:9 output
you also have to make sure your display is set to anything on the
cable will be squeezed/streched to 16:9!!!!
happy new year James

I save material recorded off air to DVD for subsequently culling
still images. The input is from a Strong settop box feeding into
and LG hard disk recorder and thence to the TV. Clips saved in
recorder are subsequently copied off to DVD and edited in a G5
running 10.5.8. Because of the TV, the settop box outputs in 576i
format with the TV set to 16:9. When the DVD is opened by DVD
Player it is always in 4:3 format, not 16:9. I can get to 16:9
digital video with MPegStreamclip or other paths all requiring a
time hungry explicit conversion. I can find no way to make the
settop box/recorder combination output a DVD in 16:9/ I realise
that the 576i format encompasses both aspect ratios with different
pixel shapes but the DVD is not tagged with that information it seems.
Has anyone any opinion to offer.

Happy Boxing Day to all who survived Christmas
