Hmmm, I was told (at one time) to avoid horizontal scaling up and that
it was better to start out bigger and scale down. But perhaps that's
just another bit of advice that wasn't exactly right (wouldn't be
the first time ;))
Actually since some of the files being created are for DVD menus
a number of tools have presets for dealing with the 'action safe'
and 'title safe' zones of a 720x540 frame. Actually a couple
places say to use 720x534 and scale to 720x480 for creating menus
and overlays (something about "D1 NTSC" vs "DVD/DV NTSC"). It's
all very confusing ;)
It seemed simpler to use the 720x540 (x534) and do the design/layout
with the 5 and 10% margins as suggested.
Cheers,
Steven Schultz
