[Michael Gissing] “reading the ClipWrap blurb that Steve linked, it says “With ClipWrap, m2t files are immediately converted for native HDV editing in Final Cut Pro.” So are they are converted to 1440 x 1080? If so FCP can’t take advantage of native 1920 and you might as well shoot on tape.”
There’s no such thing as native 1920 HDV. And re-wraping doesn’t convert video. It just changes the file format without altering the video stream.

Yes I know that. There are however 1920 x 1080 m2t files. Is that what the DTE drive stores or not? I feel like we are arguing at totally cross purposes here.
The original post talked about….lets forget it. The original poster dumped a poorly framed question and isn’t the least bit interested in our speculative diatribe. Nor am I any more frankly.

No worries. I genuinely thought you didn’t understand the situation. You’re right, it was a poorly worded question and he disappeared while we argue.

Sorry to revive a old topic but I am running into a problem where my Final cut capturing ability is lost and I have to use m2t files and do a conversion. When I use clipwrap it does the fast repackage but some how makes the files HDV but 1920×1080. This software does not recode so am I loosing quality when this change happens?
-
Okay I am mistake, in quicktime it comes up as 1920×1080 but in final cut it opens as 1440×1080. Odd but it seems it will work.

No. It’s not possible. What makes you think it’s 1920×1080? Is that what Quicktime is telling you?

Sorry for the delay response. So what happens when I open a normal HDV clip that is captured through FCP is it opens in quicktime direct to native 1440×1080 but when I open the clips out of clipwrap then quciktime default to 1920×1080. It isn’t till I bring them into FCP that they finally say 1440×1080.

The Quicktime Player does this all the time. Some flag telling it that it’s anamorphic was not present.
If Final Cut says it’s 1440×1080, then that’s what it is.
