Exporting DV PAL Quicktime 1024 x 576

Hi
An "uncompressed quicktime, 1024x576 DV PAL WIDESCREEN Square Pixels !!!!"
DV PAL is not square pixels !
DV PAL is not uncompressed !
Your client doesn't know what he is talking about. Widescreen DV are always anamorphic.
Just use Compressor to convert your HD timeline to DV PAL ANAMORPHIC 48 KHZ. Path in compressor settings : Other worflows= Advanced format conversions = Standard definitions = DV PAL ANAMORPHIC.

Uncompressed quicktime is also anamorphic and not 1024x576 Square Pixels. You can also use Compressor to export SD 10 bit uncompressed Pal or SD 8 bit uncompressed Pal. Same path in compressor.

I'm pretty sure that if you follow this path (making a sd dv-pal 720x576 qt movie) and then use the conform aperture setting in qt player to set the movie file to display as widecreen, the file will actually display as 1024x576 anyway.
Otherwise you may need to use qt conversion and a custom frame size with dv-pal as the codec, but I can't see any reason for an anamorphic (720x576) file being unacceptable.
It's up to the client, but you may be able to discuss their needs and suggest alternative workflows.

Without knowing the display method/intended use, much of this discussion is without substance.

Is this going back to tape? DVD? Web use? Something else?

For what it's worth, if they want "best quality", give them a file in the same format as the originally recorded material.
