Sometimes working with 16:9 aspect ratios can cause problems, especially when moving video from Final Cut Pro to iDVD. The problem seems to be from exporting to Quicktime from FCP. If a video that should be 16:9 comes out as 4:3 after export, I have a little trick for fixing it.
- Open the file in Quicktime.
- Hit cmd-j
- Click on “Video Track”
- UNCHECK “Preserve Aspect Ratio”
- Change “Scaled Size” from 720 x 480 to 853 x 480
- Press the “Return” key
- Close the window and save your 16:9 aspect ratio video. It should look correct when you bring it in to iDVD now.
