    Yes I completely agree, I mentioned HD because you seemed to think that
it was that, that was the problem. The WMV HD definition requires a data
flow up to 7 times greater than that for DVD, and the point I was making was
that it had nothing to do with the aspect ration.

    I also said that if you save your work using a 16:9 ratio then when that
work is imported into your DVD software and a disk made, if the resulting
video comes out as 4:3 then your dvd software has messed up your video.
