I am working with digital photos in PD7. Since I have a 27" standard screen T.V, up until now I have made my movies in 640x480 & it's been a perfect fit for MY T.V. I am in the process of doing some Wedding Photos for a couple who have a wide screen T.V. Since I do have a wide screen monitor on my computer I figured I could make a 16:9 wide screen & preview it that way. But I have found that no matter how large I render a movie clip all the way to 1920x1080 (the largest avalible), it still does not fit the width of my monitor. Is there a way to fit the full width of a wide screen? It seems to me the only difference is that you get the black bands across the top & bottom but the movie itself doesn't change. Am I missing something?

Thanks Karen

I don't use my PD for slide shows but just a comment is that most monitors are 16:10 not 16:9 and depending on your video card settings it might be stretched to accommodate 16:9 material vertically or not..... just something to be aware of.
