    All you should have to do is to export your sequence as a QT references, import it into your DVD authoring program and flag it as 16 x 9 there. 

    For instance, in DVD studio Pro, you import the QT ref, check the box that says this track is 16 x 9 and burn.

    Do you really want to know what's wrong...or do you just want me to fix it?

    Re: HDV DVD PLEASE HELP

     Thank u so much for the quick replySmile.One more thing ....So i dont have to apply reformat effect?

    1)  From HDV timeline, export 1080i size 16:9 or 720x576 16:9 ?

    2) Which color space should i choose, RGB?

    3) When i bring 16:9 in TMPGEnc and let it out put for 16:9.What will happen, when i view it in 4:3tv ? Will it(DVD) automatically creat letterbox ?  

      Thanks in advance.

    For DVD, you should export anamorphic and let your encoder do it's thing by setting the 16x9 flag. It should play back in proper aspect no matter what monitor is connected to a DVD player. So, yes... on a 4x3 monitor it should automatically letterbox. On a widescreen monitor it should be full 16x9.
