DVDs do not support ultra panavision 70. The only way to achieve that look is to render your file with the video in the correct aspect at 16 x 9. You will have black bars at the top and bottom.

This is basically the Panavision 70 in a 16 x 9 window. DVD only supports 16 x 9 and 4 x 3.

Thanks Dave

I have tried that
but
the only way I get a higher resolution is to change to BluRay format
I don't have a bluray burner.....

If the project is short, you might be able to fit it as a Blu-ray project on a standard DVD. Such discs are not very well supported by Blu-ray players, however, but you might be lucky.

Otherwise I suggest you start saving up. Also, Christmas is coming :).

Dominik,

You are right. A DVD is 720 x 480 (702 x 576 PAL). Even widescreen, it is the same resolution, they just stretch the pixels a little further.

Sounds like you want Bluray.

You can write Blu-ray onto a DVD disc but, as Peter has said, it won't play on all Blu-ray players (or any DVD players). AVCHD discs are more compatible but require other software, such as the free multiAVCHD.

This route is quite a bit more fiddly though.

Thanks guys for the help

I will try that Bluray workaround...... see if it goes.
