Rendering 4:3 1440x1080 project creates 16:9 1352x762 rendered video when its set to render at 1440x 1080
@John-McKean AFAIK. I think you should be able to render out to FHD 16:9 using non square pixels, change your Project properties to PAR of 1.333, or render settings to match.
thx, my goal is rendering 4:3 1440x1080
@John-McKean Ok, I just now changed the render template "frame size" to HDV 1080 (1440 x 1080) and it renders out aok to 1440 x 1080 AR of 1.333. Source is HDV 1440 x 1080 AR of 1.333.
Am using VP17 to test as this old project is in VP17. Tested on VP18 now, same good result.
thx, very odd, all setting correct but renders to 16:9 1352x762
@John-McKean Is your source true HDV 1440 x 1080 AR 1.33, if not can you post mediainfo.
It's strange, the first project I did with these video files rendered out fine at 1440 4:3, and the second project with the same source file and settings now I can't get it to render do 1440 and 4:3 aspect ratio. Even when I put another 1440 file in the first project that rendered out correctly, it still renders out 16:9 at a lower resolution. it will render out correctly to 1080 when I choose 1080 16:9 codec but that's not the original file spec or ratio. Attached is the video file specs
@John-McKean The "Allow source to adjust frame size" in the render template will cause you to have odd output frame sizes. When I use that for a 1440 x 1080 output it becomes 1648 x 928 = AR of 1.78.
@John-McKean Well, with those data rates and frame rates, your source is not standard HDV for sure. The internal settings of Display Aspect Ratio might be different. Anyway here is a sample "Mediainfo" screenshot of standard HDV footage.
Can you supply similar using the "Mediainfo" Util.
"Allow source to adjust frame size is not selected.
Not sure if the NVIDIA encoder can do that. For testing purposes, try switching encode mode to Mainconcept with the rest of the settings unchanged?

I used Nvenc only for my tests in this thread.
@John-McKean Can you supply the full length screenshot. A sample download clip would be ideal for users to test.
non nvidia doesnt work either
it rendered correctly first project 
all other attempts failed. How best to get you a downloaded sample?

@John-McKean I use dropbox, there are other options of course. When you upload the file give a link here. I originally assumed because of the frame size that it was HDV, but it’s obviously not. Maybe we can recreate the issue and supply a fix to the output using the source test clip.
I wonder if that should say Fox hunt?
I'll dropbox it. it is a fox hunt
By the way, I have a broken wrist so my typing is very awkward using one hand. Thanks for your patience
1440x1080 4:3 is not HDV.
Therefore, it is not 1.333 PAR. It is, by definition, 1.0 PAR.
Therefore, do not use the HDV template to create 1440x1080 4:3 video..
@John-McKean Ok, I rendered out a 10 s section to 1440 x 1080 AR 1.33. Output FPS was to 25, then 18, still ok.
Render template used ...
I left the project properties as detected by VP ...
These are the Media properties as detected by VP18 ..
