I’m trying is converting standard def QuickTime references from Avid Media Composer to mp4. Unfortunately Avid only exports an anamorphic 4:3 QT ref file. To be specific, I want to convert QT 4:3 to 16:9 MPEG4MP4.When I run this reference file through Mpeg Streamclip and set a 16:9 aspect ratio, in this case 640 x 360, it automatically makes it 16:9. The disadvantage is Mpeg is not very efficient. So I need a more robust one.

For the previous experience, I'm a big fan of Aunsoft Blu-ray Video Converter Ultimate, which has got me out of many a scrape over the past couple of years. It works about 4 or 5 times quicker than any other I’ve tried. But when I try to convert 4:3 QT ref file to MP4, it keeps the file 4:3 and adds a strange bar at the top of the screen throughout. So I turn to technology support to ask for help, I got the solution quickly. 2 Method can change aspect ratio. One is change video size. Here when I set video size as 640 x 360, the aspect ratio is automatically 16:9. Another method is switching 4:3 to 16:9 using cropping function. According to specific needs, you can choose other one.

4. Alternative option: Set aspect ratio as 16:9 via changing video size
