>Why does HDV footage captured at 1920x1080i, play perfectly in a 1440x1080i FCP sequence? It’s got to be because HDV is anamorphic, right?
Because it is actually recorded at 1440×1080.
I am not sure that HDV is always anamorphic but the Z1 for sure records at 1440×1080 anamorphic. -
I believe you are seeing the interlacing which many confuse as artifacting.
If you look at the footage on an NTSC monitor or deinterlace it does it dissapear?
The actual pixel information is 1440×1080 anamorphic. -
I want to clarify that these were m2t files that we demuxed into m2v using mpegstreamclip. I am amazed that it is so hard to find any information on getting FCP 5 to work with m2t files when it advertised as being able to work with native hdv files. I finally have seen some posts stating that FCP 5 won’t work on m2t (HDV files that are already downloaded to a drive) but no explanations as to why not, or if there might be a possible fix in the works.
All I have come up with, is that FCP 5 will work on m2t files once they are demuxed into m2v and then rendered after being placed into the timeline. I am concerned about the m2v needing to be rendered. If anybody can shed some light, I’d really appreciate it.

We were able to get the m2v files into the timeline after demuxing the m2t files but can’t figure out why FCP 5 put the red need to render line above them. They play in the Viewer though.
Anybody else working with m2v or m2t files ?
