Is it possible to re size the crop window with out preserving the aspect ratio i want to crop a square section of video for Picture in picture use. but the corp tool always stays in the windscreen aspect ratio size .

Also do you know you can use PD to convert your concert DVD's into CD's to listen in the car just rip your DVD to your computer with another program there is good free one online and drop the concert video in PD an produce to audio and write the audio to a CD R. might need to break it up into a couple CDRs

If you click the Modify button, there is a check box to maintain aspect ratio. Just uncheck it. __________________________________

Never mind. That's not what you are looking for. __________________________________

Hi del23 -

Glad you found the mask solution.

To your other question: there are two possibilities. PD can output audio only files that can be burnt to disc. Check out the audio only profiles... WAV, WMA, M4A

You can also use "Extract Audio" (right click in Media Library) to create an audio file without going to Produce.
