When I'm going from my timeline which has a short film cut with the DVCPro HD 1080i codec to mpeg-2 via QuickTime's converter, it's squeezing the video down and making everyone "wider." I've tried setting it to 4:3 and 16:9, but it just gets worse between the two...

HELP!

This sounds like it is a pixel aspect ratio issue. I would pay some
attention to that. What happens if you output to an SD resolution
but in a different format (like uncompressed or that animation
codec)?
