How do I produce a 16/9 aspect ratio DVD for both computer and standard TV display

Starting with clips recorded on a TM700, record mode HG1920, captured into FCE 4.0.1 and edited using FCE's recommended settings.  The sequences were exported to quicktime movie.  They were then brought into iDVD 7.0.4, which was set to 16:9 aspect ratio.  The results were as expected when shown on the iMac but when the disc was burnt and shown on a standard DVD player through a modern 16:9 TV the image was far wider than the screen although the verticle dimension appears to be correct.
It appears that the DVD player or iDVD has assumed anamorphic recording and has stretched the width and can't find out how to turn this off. The DVD works well when played on the iMac when using DVD Player

Hi many thanks for the thought, I have been through all the options on the TV aspect ratio button. 
If 16:9  TVs are anamorphic then that implies that my clips should be recorded anamorphically (if that's a word), if so then can this be done? Also if this is done then what will that do to the replay through the computer, which appears to work?
It's looking more and more that the 2 display mediums are incompatible.
p.s. I should have added that it is in the UK with PAL.

    Thank you. Does this mean I can get rid of the mobile modern on my computer and the pre paid sim card in my iPad if I choose? (data and plan considerations aside) 

  • How can i format an external drive to be used for both windows and mac

    i recently bought a macbook pro and used bootcamo so as to be able to run win7 and mac. I now wish to have an external usb drive so as to backup and tranfer files between the two os's. How can I do this?         

    Firstly,
    There is a forum for MacBook Pro - not this. And for Boot Camp.
    You can:
    add Paragon HFS driver to Windows which works
    add Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X
    USB is of course slow and while people use it for backups and TimeMachine, that is one place where FW800, eSATA or USB3 would be better served.

  • My internet is only connecting when the time capsule is performing a backup how can I fix this? I use the wireless for my computer and not connecting is frustrating.

    The airport time capsule 2TB is only connecting to the web when performing a backup, it just started doing this how do I fix it?

    That is a weird one.. never heard of it drop out except doing backups.
    Reset the TC to factory settings.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Redo the setup with all short names no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    It should then work fine.. but I need more info if you still have problems.
    What modem? Is it a router?
    How is the TC connected?
    Is the computer running Mavericks?

  • HT4314 I have a iPad and iPhone with the same Apple ID, but on Game Center I have used the same id for both devices and they are two different profiles and I was wondering how to have one of the accounts on both devices.

    Hi Jamesdwills,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
    Check out this information from the iPad User Guide.  Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

    Go to Settings > Game Center, where you can:
    Sign out (tap your Apple ID)
    Allow invites
    Let nearby players find you
    Edit your Game Center profile (tap your nickname)
    Get friend recommendations from Contacts or Facebook
    Specify which notifications you want for Game Center. Go to Settings > Notifications > Game Center. If Game Center doesn’t appear, turn on Notifications.
    Change restrictions for Game Center. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions.

    thanks.  your answer was correct, clearer.  I have another question, maybe you can answer.  I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago.  yesterday, there was a sound.  today there is no sound.  there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music.  but no sound on all apps and keyboards.  I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem.  I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that.  I tried rebooting it and still won't work.  Should I just restore it?

  • HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.
