Is HDV anamorphic?

Should HDV 1440 x 1080 (MJPEG-B) clips be marked as 16:9 anamorphic or 16:9 native?

If they are uploaded with HDV codec (i.e. their native format of 1440x1080) then I believe they should be marked as anamorphic. But I guess Marcus can give you a definite answer.

Thank you for your response. These are not native but rather resaved as mjpeg but they are still 1440 to save on file size (and play stretched to 1920). Could an admin confirm that checking anamorphic is correct?

Yes, if your clip is 1440x1080, please select "16:9 anamorphic". We will accept both 1920x1080 and 1440x1080 for 1080i HDV material, but 1440 is preferable as file sizes are a little smaller and the quality is exactly the same.

Keep in mind that you can also submit native HDV format clips (m2t in MOV container). This is the ideal solution, as there is 0 quality loss.

Thank you!
