Subject : Aspect ratio for both TV and computer monitor?
Hi all!
I want to make a video that would be broadcasted on TV and computers. If I choose XSI's PAL preset, I get an aspect ratio of 1.0667, as the D1/DV NTSC and PAL specifications specify non-square pixels (often called D1 aspect ratio), while computer monitor pixels are square. D1 pixels are vertically shorter. For this reason, when you look at a D1 video image on a computer monitor, the images appear to be squashed vertically.
Is there a way to make both TV and PC happy or should I render 2 versions of my work?
Thanks
David
