thanks for getting back to me. That didn’t seem to make a difference, even after I trashed it. Do you know how to disable the the systems disc utilities? Or to check to see if you have 3rd party anti-virus sofware ( I should probably know this.) I found this page on apples support line…

Hi Andy. thanks for getting back to me. I wasn’t quite sure how to disable the disc utilities, do I just drag it to the trash? I didn’t see any option for disable in the disc utilities app. Also as crazy as this sounds, I dont think I have anti-virus software, is there a way to check? Get back to me when you can.
Thanks JK

Hi. I am having the same problem as you guys, I tried looking for the
Mac HD/Library/Preferences/com.apple.compressor.plist
but there isn’t one in that location, there is
com.apple.RegFinalCutStudio.plist, in that location…should I erase that?
Any ideas?

thanks Jeremy

Don Thanks for your reply. I’ve noticed that if I play my footage back from my camera to a 16:9 tv, the t.v. compresses the squeezed footage to look normal, it fills the 16:9 screen without the letterbox, which is what I want. But if I play the footage from my camera to a 4:3 tv the footage is of course stretched. So I am led to believe that a version for 16:9 tvs should be exported from FCP in non-anamorphic mode, so the footage will fill the widescreen tv, without the letterbox, but in 16:9. Then I could bring the exported movie back in to FCP and apply the anamophic setting to the whole clip, which I would then export an anamophic, 16:9, letterbox version for 4:3 tvs. But since I already edited most of the movie in anamorhpic, is there an easy way to change all the clips in my timeline to non-anamorphic?

Thanks again Jeremy
