sorry… I meant that my HDV footage is in an HD (1440×1080) (16:9) sequence (I just use the “easy setup HDV 1080i60) when working w/HDV. This is the sequence type it creates.

Thanks so much for your response… but now I’m even MORE confused!!!! Here’s the deal. I have a 42″ 1080p LCD in my showroom. A mac mini is connected to it because all of the footage being shown on it is HDV. Ideally, I’d like to just copy over the QT movies and have “front row” access and play them. Problem with this is that a) there is no “play all” option in front row and b) you can only fit so much QT content on a mac mini. Therefore, my only option is to: a) encode the native HDV movies via H.264 QT files (which I don’t see as a possibility because from the looks of it, you have to compress the audio separately, OR b) encode the HDV movies via (what I thought) H.264 so I can author an HD DVD and use the mac mini’s DVD player to play from the video_Ts folder. So there you go. To make a long story short, I need to know how to convert my HDV stuff that is in a DVCPRO HD 1080i sequence, to be a smaller file yet awesome quality and be able to author w/DVDSP.
phew!! any ideas??

Hi Wayne,
Thx for your help! The later of your suggestions is what I have been doing the last few weeks (editing anamorphic then dropping it into a 4:3 sequence, re-rendering, and outputting so it is letterboxed). The only problem with this is that when viewed on a widescreen TV, the show is being stretched AND is obviously letterboxed on top of that. Urgh. 🙁

OMG!!! That’s an awesome list!! I hope Apple is listening (reading!)

yep, you’re so right. what a royal PITA. I hope apple gets this fixed soon

Thanks! I’ll check out these options. 🙂

Yes, everything we’re working on so far is updated projects. I do mostly wedding videos so most of the footage has slow-motion applied, many filters, and then I make one giant sequence with all of the other sequences of each event. Every version up till now preserved the render files upon copy & paste. URGH!!

BTW… read the thread below about FCP quitting, and I don’t have any other compenents installed besides the apple ones.
