Should I render 1440x1080 or 1920x1080, from HV20 at DVinfo.net

Hi guys,

As the title says, what should I choose? I belive I should use 1440x1080 and 1.333 pixelformat - generating an "Amorphobic" wide video?

Vegas tells me that I'm working with 1920x1080 square...

Am a bit confused :-) help me!

I'm rendering a M2T files using MC codec built in vegas.

If you're going back to tape, you need it to be 1440x1080, 1.333.

If you're rendering for the computer, you can do it either way. Works out to exactly the same.

There's a way to set your project properties to match your (captured) clip properties. I don't remember exactly how I did it, but once you do, you're good to go (the HV20 clips captured in Vegas 7 show up as 1440X1080, 1.333 pixels, HDV standard I believe).

David I watched your video on Vegas, nice work. Just have a question if I capture footage shot at 24p with my canon HV20 using Cineform's Neo HDV the intermediate files can be viewed in a 16x9 aspect ratio. After editing if I use Cineform's codec to render at 1440X1080p 24p Pixel ratio 1.44 and view the file in WMP the aspect ratio changes back to 4x3, any idea why? I know you can set WMP to play it correctly but why is the file aspect ratio not identified corretly?

Good question. Not sure yet -- every media player I've tried it in (including a couple from Nero) does the same as WMP.

GSPot identifies it as 1440x1080 at 1.333, so that info is in the file.
