| Sounds like you're talking about anamorphic HD? The "new" (actually, the old correct) PAR is 40/33. Making the issue even more confusing, is that in addition to the correct pixel stretch, there are additional "unused" pixels beyond the Clean Aperture (the actual image used) to form the Production Aperture (a wider size used as slop to accommodate shortcomings in pixel processing). If you need to use the old size, you can always create a square pixel comp the size you want, and manually scale it in the Output Module. But really - all the hardware out there actually uses and has used the "new" (old correct) spec; people just prepared things wrong for years. Do things the right way now - 872x286 square, squeezed to 720x486 on output, and life will be good. http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/cmg_keyframes/story/par_for_the_course/P2/ - Chris On Aug 28, 2012, at 11:12 AM, Lachlan Westfall wrote: > I'm sending stuff to a client for display on a stadium video board. > > The are saying that the specs aren't right (i.e. It's not loading), but they > won't tell me what's wrong. > > I think it may have to do with pixel aspect ratios. > > When I inspect my stuff in QT is says: > 720 x 486, actual size 872 x 486 > > When I look at their previous stuff is says: > 720 x486, actual size 864 x 486 > > My understanding is that the aspect ratio of 1:1.2 was "corrected" to 1:1.21 > a while back and this caused the difference.
