I clicked yes, and I see the clip is now squished together vertically and is ALSO letterboxed inside a 16×9 frame. Image looks distorted and pulled wide and squished down

Im looking in the browser, scrolling to the right to look through the columns, and NONE of the clips have a check mark in the anamorphic column. Im assuming this is why I got the dialougue box that asked to change sequence settings to the same as the clips. Im getting confused 🙂 So does this mean that extracting the clips from the DVD ts folder somehow created this problem? How should i proceed?
thanks

David, when i created a new project, I selected initially the dv ntsc anamorphic sequence preset. when i imported the files (not captured files) and dragged 1st one to timeline, i got a dialogue box that said sequence should be set to the same as my imported clips so i clicked yes to change the sequence settings. At that point I noticed the settings switched to dv – ccir 601, with the anamorphic box NOT checked. So i figured i should stay with that. The clips in the canvas are letterboxed in a 4×3 window at this point. The majority of the clips were like as just described. And as described earlier, i later put 2 different clips on the timeline that were stretched vertically full frame. this is when my problem started. Just so you know, the clips i imported were ripped with mac the ripper, then dvdxpro used to convert from the TS folder to QT files. These clips are for a demo reel, The person gets the run around when trying to get unprotected media. So this is what im stuck with. When i check the clip properties all of them say uncompressed 8 bit 4:2:2 , ntsc ccir 601, and the anamorphic column is “Blank”
I also got the media performance warning of unoptimized media. I just clicked continue because i dont know what to do about that. So is there something I can do to remedy these issues. As you mentioned I would like it to play on widescreen tv’s as it should and be letterboxed on 4×3 tv’s.
Even if it means starting over, Im willing to do it. It’s only a 4 min. edit with a total of nine clips. Do you need any other info from me?Thanks David

Well I assumed that the exported qt was just bad because i thought my system was not powerful enough to create the export properly. So are you saying , in theory, that my export is ok, but when trying to play it in Quicktime pro, thats where my problem lies. My system is not powerful enough to play it back?
But if i take my exported qt to compressor, make my mpeg 2 , that all will be well?“IN THEORY OF COURSE” 🙂

David, Im a little confused. I’ve finished editing the project. Everything was fine while editing in FCP. The problem was when I exported my QT movie – current settings from my Pro Res project,
The export was as described ( slow jittery video and sound not in sync ) I then viewed the captured file from the capture scratch and that file was the same. SO IS WHAT YOU ARE SUGGESTION GOING TO HELP ME OUT AT THIS POINT, WHERE IM READY TO EXPORT MY QT MOVIE (WHICH WILL THEN GO TO COMPRESSOR TO MAKE MPEG2 FOR DVD) SO AT THIS POINT IM FINISHED EDITING, READY FOR EXPORT. MY PREVIOUS QUESTIONS WAS, CAN I JUST CHANGE THE EXPORT SETTINGS TO DVCPROHD AND WAIT THE 8 HOURS, OR SHOULD I ABORT THAT, AND RECAPTURE THE FOOTAGE WITH THE DVCPRO HD SETTING, AND START AGAIN?Brad J.

David, until I change to a Raid set up, Can I , as Jeff suggests, use DVCproHD with my single drive without incurring the same problems? And if so would I have to recapture everything with that setting or is it possible just to change my settings to DVCproHD and export. I started to export just now with DVCProHD settings, without recapturing, and it says it will take 8 hours for a 1 hour project.
What do you think? If you know I need to recapture with new settings, then I’d prefer to abort export now, and spend the 8 hours recapturing !!!!!!!Thank you very much
