pnevi, I must debate you. NTSC TV format is kept to a 4x3 aspect ratio. 728x700 is not 4x3. 640x480 is. Standard DV format is 720x486. You are correct about keeping the file uncompressed though,at 29.97 fps. 728x700 would be almost square, which TV is not. 640x480 is the resolution you render at for television.It must be a 4x3 aspect ratio, or it would be squashed when shown on a screen of monitor. kaom
