Rendering a 16:9 NTSC DV 720x480 file will apparently not work with Pinnacle Studio.

#Pinnacle studio 9 4 1080p

Taking the 1080p HD rendering and feeding it to Pinnacle Studio let Pinnacle Studio produce a 16:9 video content without pillar boxing. So if this ends up working is the lesson that 720x480 NTSC DV rendering from Davinci Resolve is only aimed at a fixed aspect ratio and not 16:9 (though why on earth Pinnacle Studio needed to squish and pillar box it is beyond me)?ДЄnd the results are in. at least according to the various previews. Now that I've pulled in the 1920x1080P HD rendered MP4, Pinnacle Studio does not appear at this time to be pillar boxing things.

So pulling in that 720x480 NTSC DV rendered MP4 has Pinnacle Studio pillar boxing the MP4 Video. The other, intended for DVD media, was set up to render for 720x480 NTSC DV 30fps, well because thats the DVD standard, and my naive self thought the other info says its 16:9, so this is the way to go. (I'm now using this one for the ongoing Pinnacle encoding that is running as I type this.)

One, intended for BD media, is the full 1920x1080P 30fps render. lets cancel all that and try something and drag in the full HD MP4 and have Pinnacle then encode that as the MPEG2.ДЇrom Davinci Resolve, I had rendered 2 MP4 files. It indicated 'Your pulling in a 3:2 source into your 16:9 timeline, would you like to convert to 4:3?' And yes, 720x480 is 3:2. When I pulled in the DVD rendered 720x480 16:9 source file, Cyberlink Power Director (unlike Pinnacle) threw up a warning dialog about an aspect ratio mismatch. The clue was provided when I tried the 'came free with the burner' CyberLink Power Director 14 DVD LE edition (that doesn't burn to DVD media), just to see how its UI handled the same file.

and it may go back to the rendering in Davinci Resolve. I may have solved my own problem (DVD file system encoding in progress).

It is just the MP4 video content itself that Pinnacle is pillar boxing for some reason (and squishing).Д¬an someone who uses Pinnacle and has produced a proper 16:9 widescreen non-pillar boxed result, provide some insight on what I've got set up wrong or what I'm likely doing wrong here? Thing is the menus Pinnacle produces in 16:9 those are just fine and correct at 16:9 on playback. The tab settings in Pinnacle Studio I also double checked (don't think thats the problem as the pillar boxes show up farther upstream in the tab.

The MP4 source material is (per Windows 10 details): In the and tabs, the timeline settings for this one long MP4 on the timeline are: I had thought of that and checked and set what I think are the correct settings to produce the 16:9 non-pillar boxed (ie widescreen) DVD. Now the natural question that pops up of course is: are all of the settings correct for the project. There is something in the authoring/production that Pinnacle is doing to force those in there.

When I play the resulting exported video on the PC without burning it, it also has the black pillar boxes. I did that test just to be sure my DVD player wasn't set up wrong. When I plonk the resulting DVD that gets created by pinnacle in a player it has those black pillar boxes. (I've already burned 2 DVD media pointlessly, so I want to figure this out before trying again). When I have it then export to a DVD structure image, that has the black pillar boxes, so the view seems to correlate with what I get out at the end. Now changing to the sub-view instead, we get the black pillar boxing around the video: The view in the Pinnacle Studio (note the grey indicating the full extent of the video frame: Now I've imported that MP4 into Pinnacle Studio, plonked it on the timeline, create the chapter marks and DVD menus, but every single time, the produced MPEG2 it generates in its tab is pillar boxed, even though the source material is not. When playing that on my PC it looks fine:

So in Davinci Resolve, I've rendered the 16:9 video to an MP4. Yes, Pinnacle Studio isnt the ideal solution, but I've rendered it in Davinci Resolve as a 16:9 and Davinci Resolve doesn't provide DVD/BD authoring to create a player playable solution with menus/chapters. I've been struggling with this really annoying issue for the past 2 day that I expect is surely down to me not setting some invisible to my eyes setting.
