Problems w/QT Pro 7.6 visual settings
Hello,
I’ve investigated this problem and although I’ve found some answers, I’m not able to resolve what’s wrong. I have a self-contained quicktime from a 1080i60 1440×1080 HDV sequence (FCP). I compress the file in Compressor and, regardless of the file format being compressed to, the resulting file plays at the proper 16:9 frame size in QuickTime X but incorrectly at 4:3 in QuickTime Pro 7.6. The current size setting is always different from the actual size and wrong. I know I should be able to change the visual settings in the Properties window, but when I type in a new setting in the visual settings field and either close the properties window or click on another track, those new settings are not being saved. Is there a reason why the “current size” setting in QuickTime Pro is constantly incorrect? How else can I address this problem?
Thanks,
Matt -

rafael, thanks for getting back to me. below is an image of the visual settings window from quicktime for an mp4 whose normal size is 1440×1080 but displays at 1224×917 in quicktime pro. In quicktime X it displays correctly. Is there something about the mp4 format that I’m missing?
thanks,

If your picture is supposed to 16×9, you chose a wrong size.
1440×1080 is 16×9 when using HD pixels.
Computers uses always Squared pixels, so the display size should be 1920×1080.
What looks weird too, is the Scaled Size: “0x0” you shouldn’t have no picture at all.
Try in Scaled Size 10440×1080.
If its doesn’t works, uncheck “Preserve Aspect Ratio” and try 1920×1080.
Lets see.

I tried unchecking “preserve aspect ratio” at 1920×1080 and that worked. I also realized that coming out of compressor I had to set the pixel aspect to square in the geometry tab. I think I understand this a little better now, and at least I’ll now what to look for if quicktimes are displaying incorrectly. In fact, I’m compressing a 1440×1080 to mp4 right now to 1280×720, and with the pixel aspect set to square i believe that should come out correctly. I did a test and it seemed right. Does that sound like the proper setting to you?
Thanks for your help! -
QT by default display everything as Square pixels.
If you are going from 1440×1080 HD pixels to 1920×1080 or 1280×720, check square pixels, or Default.
With application where you can’t specify the kind ox pixels, just set the size.
