View Full Version : anamorphic 16:9 DV treated as 4:3 DV !?

I have anamorphic DV AVI on which I use some filters in VirtualDub. After encoding new DV AVI from VirtualDub, 16:9 tag from header (or whatever that tells other editing and playback software what is propper format of DV AVI file) is lost and file is shown as 4:3 (vertically "stretched"). Also, I can't edit it in Premiere in my currently open anamorphic project because editing software treat it as "stretched" 4:3 (media player also does not propperly resize file).

Is there any tool that can set this 16:9 "property" in AVI file header? Or anybody know any other way to fix resulting AVI so other software treat it as 16:9?

the mainconcept DV encoder can set the 16x9 flag during encoding.

in premiere cs3: in project window RMB click on clip and select 'interpret footage', then select the proper PAR (pixel aspect ratio) to conform to.
