Exactly the information and explanation I was looking for. Thanks for your input.

@Bret: I don’t have AE currently. I have pre-ordered CS5 but that’s not being shipped until next month. Do I just use a resize option there or is there a specific filter/plugin you’d recommend trying?

Actually, the DV footage is 16:9 and there is a checkbox for that but it still zooms in.

It plays fine and says 23.976 frame rate.
Basically, what I’m trying to do is import footage from a Blu-Ray into FCP. The M2TS file ripped has a frame rate of 47.952 in VLC. This is double to standard 23.976 fps a Blu-Ray has. Not sure why, but this has happened with all the BR’s I’ve ripped thus far.
I want to keep it the same frame rate but unless I convert it using 30 fps I have all sorts of problems. Is it maybe advisable to allow it to go to 30 fps and then do a pulldown to 24?
The reason I’m using MKV is because it’s easy to convert to this from the M2TS file.

So after nearly 48 hours of rendering into ProRes the video plays fine in Quicktime and in VLC, but when I put it in FCP the video looks as if it’s in slow motion. The clip properties say it is 10 fps yet in Quicktime and VLC it shows up as 23.97.
Any ideas why this is happening?

That keeps it in an H264 format. I need a format I can edit. Thanks for the link though.

The file extracted is an h264 extension Quicktime doesn’t know. I changed it to MOV and MP4 but that didn’t work either. MPEG Streamclip didn’t work either. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Upon closer evaluation it looks like the mix is indeed 5.1. The reason I thought it wasn’t though was because the back left and right speakers are a lot quieter than they’re suppose to. When played in FCP in stereo they are quite loud and match everything, but when played on the home theater those speakers are barely audible. Is there a setting I’m missing in Compressor that may be dropping the volume?

That’s what I’ve done Craig. I’ve tried exporting the tracks for each stem (didn’t know the proper term earlier) as mono, stereo and dual channel AIFF files but none of them worked. I really thought a mono version should do the trick. Again, it’s just the left back and right back speakers. And the tracks are being put in the right configuration in Compressor.
Also, just want to thank everyone for the suggestions.

Basically, I have nine audio tracks in FCP: two left, one center, two right, two left surround, and two right surround. I’m exporting the two pairs (with the exception of the one center) as five mono AIFF files to combine into a 5.1 AC3 audio file using Compressors Surround Sound mixing tool.
I realize this is sort of a hackneyed way of doing it, but it’s the best I can do at the moment.
