Hi everyone

Thanks so much for the advice. The last export which I submitted was
accepted - from a 1920 x 1080 square project dropped into a 720 PAL (1.09
pixel aspect ratio) project for output. So basically the 16:9 flag issue I
assume. Now the finger-pointing and arse-covering has started but going
through their spec sheet I cannot find anything relating to 16:9 material
or pixel aspect ratios other than that they should be "non-square".

Thanks again everyone!!!

Oh, bit of a laugh - the station rejected one of the clips because there
was a smudge. Turns out that the "smudge" was some grime that the client
and I had lovingly tracked and inserted onto the farm vehicle's windscreen.
I guess realism isn't called for anymore.
