I agree with pwolf. The majority source is gonna be 23@2.35:1 The only exception I can see is probably foreign movies with 25/29.97/30fps. And those can be easily fixed to match the rest.

I would just prefer as little tampering with the footage as possible after it leaves my bluray drive.
And technically, shouldn't it be around 1280x544? We should eliminate as much down-sampling as possible. Id suggest putting the final compiled clips of 1280x544 (Lagarith YV12/square pixels) into a project of the same size, then outputting to the 1280x720. If you are down sampling from 1080p 1920x800 and end up with 1280x532, I suppose the final project compilation settings should be set to the majority height. Whether it be 544 or 532.

Just a suggestion.

In case I wasn't clear, I'm still looking forward to watching this when it comes out. Looks to be awesome. Just a little bummed I'm not editing a track since I was kind of looking forward to it.

Anyway, can't wait to see the finished product.

Hey, it's a collaboration. We all want the project to be as good as it can be right?

Exactly! I want it to be a reflection of quality as well as style too. Besides, Im down for whatever. It's his show. I am only with pwolf here on offering up some last min tips that will pay off in the long run.

When we talked it over, I suggested 1280x720 @23.976. He did bring up the whole 2.35:1 vs. 16:9 issue and we landed on, stick with 16:9 for the time being until we see what everybody's sources are going to be. If everybody is going to have a 2:35:1, then yeah we should go with that. The more important thing though was to get the track listing up since that's what everybody was waiting for. Tech specs can be hashed out, but getting people's creative juices flowing was more important (though I do agree, we should come up with a standard across the board here soon).

I'm not involved, but personally I'd say 1280x544 is a better res than 1280x532 if you do go for 2.35:1. Much closer to the ratio and is actually mod16, which doesn't really matter all that much anymore with AVC, considering it internally pads anyway, but it's a good thing to have if possible.
