Adobe Premiere 7 question

Adobe Premere 7 seems to force 720*480 when exporting as DV, and exporting as anything else results in a crash.

Is there a way to change the DV resolution to something else? Most of the video stuff I deal with is usually 4:3 and 720*480 is not 4:3.
 
You obviously don't know the spec for NTSC which is 720x480, which is ABSOLUTELY 4:3. The difference is the pixel aspect ratio. With an NTSC broadcast the pixels have an spect ratio of 0.9, so it really is 4:3 you just didn't know it.
 
Hmm interesting, how can pixels be changed aspect ratio? figured a pixel is a pixel, and is the smallest unit possible in screen size terms. I made a vid for youtube and youtube is 4:3 but my vid was wide screen so it does not show up nicely in youtube. Unfortunatly DV is the only possible output format of premiere (the rest just crash or error out) unless I'm missing something.

I agree, it sounds like your video is recorded in anamorphic widescreen. You can export it two ways, one select the entire video and squeeze it by 75% to get the bars on top and bottom, or export it and then encode it with another encoder like windows media encoder (what I use, it works damn well)

Thats actually what I did to get it into divX but it keeps same res. But I'll have to check if virtualdub has a crop option, I could then just crop the "extra" pixels on both sides to get it into 4:3. To see what I mean about widescreen see this video (its actually the one I did)

Though that said, is there a way to make it so it does not crash when I try to export as divx in premiere? If I could save myself the 2nd encoding step it would take 1 day instead of 2 to encode (I usually leave stuff like this go overnight) and the final video would be of higher quality.
