Importing - Adobe ENCORE 2 Manual

To specify the screen aspect ratio
Adobe Encore DVD determines the screen aspect ratio for you. You can, however, change it if necessary. The type of
asset determines how you specify the screen aspect ratio. For menus, and timelines containing still images but no
video, you specify the screen aspect ratio in the Properties panel. For timelines with video, you specify the screen
aspect ratio by setting the pixel aspect ratio of the video asset. For more information about setting the ratio for video
timelines, see "To specify an asset's pixel aspect ratio" on page 61.
1 Select the menu or still timeline in the Project panel.
Click the desired aspect ratio in the Properties panel.

Note: When you change the aspect ratio in the Properties panel, Adobe Encore DVD actually changes the asset's pixel
aspect ratio, which in turn affects the screen aspect ratio.
