do u know what pixel/aspect ratio?

that depends on:
a) the maximum resolution of the projector. (if not HD probably 1024)
b) if played from the computer, your maximum output resolution
on a mac book pro is 1440x900 I believe.If played through quicktime, you can always scale up while playing video

If you're just playing it from a PC/Mac hooked up to a projector, set it to Square Pixels... Do a test first with a still to see how it looks

basically you have to find from the A/V people what they want as there could be several different sizes.

And remember size on a projection depends on the distance between the unit and the screen. you can do an 800x600 video and make it look huge at proper distance

apple guidelines for screen size:
720x540 for standard video in NTSC (square pixels)
854x480 for widescreen in NTSC (square pixels)if you have a quicktime movie playing off your hard disk at some higher resolution(i.e. 1024), prepare for it to be chunky and stuttery unless you have a high powered machine.
