I know Digital 8 has been a long time ago but I have a bit of time here and there and would like to edit some of my old Digital 8 (PAL DV) footage. While I can import it, edit it and even make it look quite ok thanks to NeatVideo, I am having troubles to get it out from Vegas (VP12 770) without loosing the aspect ratio. I would like to render to Sony YUV, at 50p, 720x576 with PAR of 1.0926. While this can all be adjusted in the template, the rendered file will however have an aspect ratio of 5:4, not 4:3, which is slightly compressed.
I tried to be clever and render it out with MC AVC at the max bit rate and then use Handbrake to compress it but the same happens. HB will change the display ratio to 5:4 or change the resolution to 720x528, I cant get 720x576 4:3, PAR 1.0926 out of HB either.
I really would like to have a final render @50P (not 50i), 720x576, 4;3, PAR 1.0926 in MP4 (H264) for my in-House media server and high bit rate Sony YUV or other format for archiving.
Yes I can render it as PAL DV .avi but not 50P and the bitrate is much lower too.
Any ideas are very much appreciated.
