[Avid-L2] Re: Sonic DVD it question

I don't use DVDit, but it sounds like you possibly may have set your QT Ref as 16x9 and the encoder's 16x9 flag was set as well (hence the double LB on the SD 4x3 monitor. SD DVD's are 720x480 no matter the aspect. Only set your encoder for 16x9 and it should play back properly on whatever setup it's intended for automatically (full widescreen on a 16x9 monitor and letterboxed on a 4x3 monitor)
