Planning broadcasts halted abruptly
REHOBOTH - The planning board has accused the group that broadcasts its meetings of censorship for abruptly terminating the live cablecast of two of the board's recent sessions.

Working with 16x9 footage

I am wondering if anyone else is encountering this issue. Much of our footage is shot in 16x9, AVCHD that is transcoded to Apple Pro Res to edit in Final Cut as an HD project. (Some of our cameras don't do 4x3 at all)

However, when we use the settings recommended for ACM standards MPEG2 compliance using Apple Compressor the footage looks distorted (stretched). We tried to change the settings in Compressor to accommodate for letterbox but then the video file is not seen in our server (a Leightronix Ultra Nexus). Maybe it is us.
