   2. 1998X1080 (1.85:1 flat), or

   3. 2048X858(2.39:1scope).

   4. If you have a film in 1.66:1 or 1.37:1 or another non standard

      ratio, please contact us.

2. 23.98fps, 24fps, or 30fps. Please only send files that are progressive

   scan. Interlace files will look degraded and have a ghostly frame

   blending.
