Is it better to export iMovies with an aspect ratio of "standard" or "widescreen"

Hi

Depends

• on how material was recorded - SD-video (4x3) or HD-Wide-material (16x9) ?

• on how it's to be playbacked - Projector capability, Flat-screen TV or old CRT-TV

I would try to get as much info from the picture over to the viewer

e.g. interlaced SD-Video (4x3)

• Use iMovie HD6 or FinalCut any version

• Make a 4x3 project

• if DVD - make it 4x3 too

If I know that there is a full HD 16x9 projector / flat-screen that will show it

• Use iMovie'09 to 11

• Save it as Optimized Full HD on an USB-memory - and in max quality .H264 codec (e.g. to be played via a PlayStation3 and onto a Full Quality HD screen)

Export it in the same aspect as they were created in or the image will be distorted.
