Stretched 16:9 DVD Menu	Can't Post

Howdy...

Why are there only 4:3 templates in DVD Studio Pro. I'm setup in Final Cut for 16:9... selecting 16:9 Letterbox in DVD Studio Pro stretches the menu and it looks horrible.

Anyone know a work around for this?

yeah change the display mode from 4:3 mode to 16:9 letterbox. to do this click the menu in the graphical tab, look fo rthe menu tab under inspector and click the dropdown for display mode. letterbox will force a 4:3 tv to display letterbox, and is what I use

Thanks Man... been there, I almost like a stretched menu rather than the black bars T+B with letterbox. My footage looks fine as I'm capturing anamorphic.

Nice glidecam setup Tim!

Thanks..its actually not mine, but is is one of my really good buddies. I am looking forward to getting my back back in shape enough to get back in it and get some practice.

Yes, the back man ... we fly a glidecam. My son wants to get a smooth shooter in a couple months. Stretch that back out Tim.

problem is that it doesnt stretch much....I have a partially fused spine...makes running that glidecam a very tough proposition, but when I set a goal I go after it. Cool
