Here's a real dumb question that I should know the answer on but don't.
I shot footage in HDCam and rented the JH3 with firewire and captured it into FCP as 16x9 Letterbox. I selected in my easy setup to capture with NTSC DV Anamorphic. Should I have used just NTSC DV instead? The funny thing is that dome of the clips came in anamorphic and some came in not anamorphic. The anamorphic has LB bands at the top and bottom in the viewer. The image goes all the way side to side. The image looks stretched also. The other clips look fine but have lb bands AND pb bands all the way around. These are the ones where anamorphic is not checked in the clip properties. The two versions was probably due to setting different scratch disks for different clips and I must have used a different east setup setting. Anyway the question is to properly output this to DVD, should it be anamorphic or not and how do I change one or the other so that all of the clips are the same.
Sorry for the basic question.
