Thank you! Perian worked fine! I managed to play and export the files in Mpeg Streamclip, Compressor and Quick Time . I finally used mpeg streamclip to do the job. I exported the avi file to apple pro res. My only question is that i had to render the exported file in FcP 7. And i want to know if there is a way not to have to render ? Again thank you for your time..
I shot the footage with a Sony handycam hdr-hc1e pal. Although the camera has hdv i shot it at dv 16:9. The capture preset is set to dv pal and the sequense preset is set to dv pal also. There is no letterboxing in the log and capture window and there is no bars in the viewer window. I hope this helps.. But there other thing i noticed now is that by uploading my video to youtube it shows it 16:9. By uploading the video to facebook it plays it 4:3 . And as i told you playing the video in quick time on my mac also show’s it 4:3 .. What about anamorphic?
