How do I make a DVD for widescreen televison?

I use PSE 8 slideshow, and add a few video clips, put it all together on a DVD using Windows DVD Maker, but notice that when played on a widescreen television, the pictures are stretched, so people appear to be fatter than they really are.  If played on a smaller television the DVD is good.
In Elements I use wmv. and DVD PAL (720 x 576) (I am from the UK).  Thanks for any advice.

Do some reading on PAR - Pixel Aspect Ratio
I believe a standard 4:3 screen uses a PAR of .9 and 16:9 widescreen uses a PAR of 1.2 (or 1.3 ???)
Anyway... google and do some reading

  • How do I make a DVD for a TV without idvd which is not on my new iMac?

    I have a new imac (a pc user) and I made an imovie but now I can't make a DVD because apple no longer includes idvd. I have searched the web and talked to long time mac users and no one has any suggestions on how to make a DVD for a TV to send out my movies of sale horses.

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to destribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That has worked for some, but is not guaranteed to work for all.
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with Lion. You have to buy iLife 11 from online Apple Store in order to get iDVD. You are strongly recommended to do so soon as it will not be available for much longer.
    If you wish, like many others, to complain to Apple, use this link:

  • How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm) in Photoshop Elements 12?

    How do I make a DVD cover for a standard DVD holder (190 x 135 x 14mm)? I would like for it to be easy so I can fold the finished product and the front cover, spine, and back cover will all be in the correct space when inserted into the DVD holder. I know there is a "create DVD cover" option in Photoshop Elements 12, and I've tried that, however the dimensions never come out correctly. Can anyone help? Thank you!

  • Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video.  How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

    Thanks!  For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine.  It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do.  The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
    So, thanks anyway!  Pretty cat!

  • How do I make a DVD copy of a file? And does the file have to be converted from mpeg or mp4 or.MOV to a different format before it can be copied and is readable by DVD? Thanks.

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

  • Im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5

    im making a photo slide show using imovie. how will i make a dvd copy that can play in both pc and dvd player.  i dont have an idvd anymore. m using a mbp early 2011 osx 10.8.5.
    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

  • Cannot make Recovery DVDs for the G580 with Windows 8

    I notice that Windows 8 Notebooks are no longer being sold with Licenses affixed to the underside.  So if anything goes wrong (e.g. we have to replace the HDD at a later date)  we cannot just use a Windows 8 disk to restore the operating system.
    This means it is important to make sure we have recovery DVDs. 
    With previous versions One Key Recovery had an option to make restore DVDs - it misses that option with Windows 8.
    Phoned Lenovo support who said that we should make the DVDs through the Windows Backup system, which again is fine but on both Lenovo's I have tried it on Windows 8 cannot make a backup to DVD.  Also even if we could make the windows backup or system repair disks they would not allow a complete factory restore to a brand new HDD. 
    How do we make Recovery DVDs that would be bootable and would restore the Operating System to a brand new HDD if the worst should happen and the existing HDD suffered unrecoverable failure?  So far the only option that has come up from my various phonecalls is "buy a set of recovery discs for £25-£35 .... which would be a bit unfair having only had this 2 days.
    Solved!

    thanks for the feedback.
    Could you please check out the following link and see if it contains a possible solution, I am aware it states only Think products in the compatability list but there are "cross-over" points where something could be of relevance to other Lenovo products.

  • How can i make a email for my printer

    how can i make a email for my printer to send the things to the email and get it printed if i was out of the house my printer model is 3525

    Hi alhashmi_sy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to setup the ePrint feature of your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 printer.
    The first step is to connect your printer to your wireless network. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for your operating system. If you have already setup your printer with a USB cable, each operating system section has the steps to switch from the USB connection to a wireless connection.
    After connecting the printer to your wireless network please follow the steps for Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with your claim code please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    You should now have a customized ePrint email address for your printer. If you run into any issues please let me know at what step things went awry and the contents of any error messages. Please also let me know what operating system you are using on your computer (whatsmyos.com). Thank you.
    Regards,

    If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
    You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

    Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

    I have the new retina MacBook Pro.  I made an iMovie but there's no idvd.  How do I make a dvd from my iMovie?

    Apple no longer sells iDvd.  You will have to purchase an older version of iLife that has iDvd on it or use a third party application such as Toast from Roxio.
    Ciao.

  • My calendar notifications disappear about an hour before the event. How do I make them stay for longer?

    My calendar notifications disappear from the notification center about an hour before the event. How do I make them stay for longer? It is it's 5

    This is normal and is how Apple handles photos.
    There are NOT duplicate photos.
    Just as a song is in your itunes library and you can access that exact same song from a playlist,  all  photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the individual albums.
    It is working exactly as it should.
