Only reason I suggested was you that you said you wanted to see the whole video instead of it looking squished.
I assumed you were working with anamorphic material and yes, it will look squished if you don’t set the SIZE to a 16:9 ratio.

What’s the specs of the computer you are using?
Try this too — Apple 1 until the viewer closes… Apple 2 until the canvis closes… Apple 3 until the timeline closes… then Apple 8 to open Log and Capture.
Same issues?

It is not recommended.
USB speeds burst and aren’t sustained.

You could also change the SIZE of the export to 320×180… that will “unsqueeze” it.

Ok — so FW to the dv deck and then the deck to the monitor?
Check in FCP… VIEW – EXTERNAL PLAYBACK — ALL FRAMES. Might be set to OFF.
Also – make sure no windows are overlapping and your canvas is set to Fit To Window size.
Good luck,

Huge thanks, Andy…
Am trying to help a friend. Not sure best workflow habits were followed. Will instruct.
Thanks again to all who tried… especially Andy.

Someone gave me the sequence asking if I could export XML so 5.1 machine could also work with 5.0 machine.

You are fine.
Convert the 24pA material to 24p mode material (actually 29.97) and edit without a care in the world for the 3.2 cadence.
AND — The bickering was for OUR behalf — not yours.

I seem to recall FCE being $99 right now??? Can that be?
Look — buying FCP already loaded on a system isn’t good. Will they include the original discs? If so then it’s a good deal.
Don’t spend extra money for ‘having’ FCS loaded on the computer.
Buy a good solid mac. G5 would be nice, but a dual processor G4 will work for what I’m going to tell you.
Buy Final Cut Express!!! Buy FCE!!!
Everything you’ll ever know to LEARN how to edit is right there.
Start editing home movies… start editing friend’s parties… start editing band concerts at the HS… start editing dance classes… start charging people for things… rent a camera and do a wedding… or two
Go to school or classes for editing and FCP… check your local community college…
NOW – buy Final Cut Studio and a 3ghz Intel MacPro and a $5000 camera…
Or — Go to Film School and get a job working on someone else’s equipment.
Good luck — stay legal — have fun.
