I'm shooting 8mm DV Widescreen (16x9) with a Panasonic NV-GS400. My plan is to capture all my tapes onto Mac as DV AVI Type 2 for archive and also convert Panasonic NV-GS400 DV to 16:9 MP4 aspect ratio for presenting on my projector and then playing on Apple TV. But I have a problem with correct aspect ratio when converting 8mm DV shootings to MP4. The converted files are automatically viewed as 4:3 Aspect Ratio but it should be 16:9.

After some initial tests, with the help of iMedia Converter for Mac, I successfully encode DV AVI to MP4 as 16:9 without loss in quality. The built-in editor tool provides some useful edit functions which enable you to enhance the video clips, including cropping, flipping, trimming, splitting, apply special effects, add subtitles and watermark. So I can easily convert DV movies to MP4 with vertical flipping or horizontal flipping. And one highlight I appreciate is the perfect audio and video synchronization technology the program use.

Want to edit DV movies in FCP, After Effect, Sony Vegas, etc? Want to encode DV AVI to DivX? Want to convert DV movies to DVD MPEG format? It's no problem! More than a DV to MP4 Encoder, the iMedia Converter for Mac can output more than 50 types of video formats, including MOV, MKV, WMV, FLV, etc.  

Below is a simple tutorial to convert DV to 16:9 MP4 with cropping and flipping. The 4-steps DV to MP4 conversion is time-saving and easy-to-handle.
