Activity Forums Compression Techniques Backwards Frame Size

  • Backwards Frame Size

    Posted by Tyler M. on July 16, 2010 at 3:28 pm

    I’ve never had to export anything with a weird aspect ratio but I’m converting a .wmv file to .mov and the aspect ratio is 720×1280. I’m using an HDV720 preset in compressor with flip4mac and turning on 100% of source for my frame size but it comes out backwards (1280×720). I then entered the frame size myself (720×1280) using customs settings and the same issue occurred. Pixel aspect is set to square. What am I missing or is it a quicktime issue? Thanks.

    That preset does 1280×720. HDV is not capable of doing 720×1280

    Why do you want 720×1280?

    Because I’m converting a video that is 720×1280 from wmv to mov. The video was made with that frame size.

    I’d go for a .mov and use the photoJpeg codec.

    That was it. Thank you friend. Is there a website or book that I can learn more about codecs? Thanks again.
