Pixel Question

I have an original production that I'm working on, and I have formating/pixel questions.......

Okay, basically, the whole TVs using rectangular pixels instead of square pixels is messing me up a bit. What I'm wondering is, if I were to produce a production to display on the internet, and if I were to later want to put the project on DVD, how would I handle the pixel difference? Should I encode two copies of the production, one for TV and one for computer, or does DVD writing software take care of the difference?

You shouldn't have to. If you set the aspect ratio flags correctly when authoring the DVD, any correctly-behaving DVD player will do all necessary resizing for you.

Okay, thanks! ^-^
I haven't actually gotten to play with Dad's DVD burner yet as he's slowly building a dual-processor computer at his work and has it there instead of bringing the dual processor compy home for me to play with, so I didn't know if it has that kind of thing built in....
Thanks again.
