Hi
I had a similar problem but this thread has helped me solve it. It was hiding on a disconnected screen (on OSX 10.5).

It seems to me like a push to break compatibility, force users to move 26 pixels up so they are alone in the new realm ; )
a bit like all the AVCHD business

I believe it’s something else. On BBC site it says:

Why - and where did the extra 18 pixels come from?

Digital pictures are effectively wider than analogue pictures by 18 pixels but the 4:3 image sits inside the 720 by 576 area. The additional 18 pixels are required for digital processing and it would be perfectly acceptable to leave them black - but if the image is shrunk via a digital DVE, two 9 pixel wide black stripes will be seen at the sides

Widescreen
A widescreen television picture has the same number of vertical lines as a 4:3 picture, that is 576. The aspect ratio is 16:9 making the picture:
(576 x 16) ÷ 9 = 1024 square pixels wide
A widescreen picture "fits" into the same electronic space as a 4:3 image. The 16:9 widescreen (1024 by 576) image is horizontally squeezed to 702 by 576. The picture is distorted to be the correct shape on 16:9 screens only, hence tall thin people when the image is seen on a 4:3 screen. The additional 18 pixels in the 4:3 picture, when stretched to 16:9 become:
(18 x 4) ÷ 3 = 24 non square pixels or 24 x 1.094 = 26 square pixels
When making a 16:9 graphic on a square pixel device for conversion to a 720 by 576 widescreen video picture, the width of the 1024 by 576 image must be increased:
26 +1024 = 1050 by 576 square pixels

It doesn’t seem to make much sense, although it probably does if adobe decided to back this up. Any comments on that?

Nice flame war ; )

Just to put discussion a bit more on topic

1) Little Snitch is not by any means illegal. Amout of information programs are trying to leak through your network may be considered more illegal by some.

2) No, it does not stop FCP from detecting license breach, as by default it allows all local traffic to be passed through (those rules can be disabled though).

peace.
