    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

I guess with i-movie HD (6) it must be possible to create the movie in widescreen as it gives you the option to have it in widescreen when you open up i-DVD.

But how?

I guess DV Widescreen would be the one, it's for a 1min opening of a property website.

Ok, how do I set the format after opening i-Movie HD and can it be set half way through making the movie or when it has been made?

Do I need to go to PREFERENCES and click auto pillarboxing/letterboxing BEFORE I import the footage, or can i do it after?

Mine is set. I don't remember setting it. It may be automatic when you select DV Widescreen.
