That’s not a user definable option. You can still use the +10 on a laptop without the extended keyboard.

.dv is a DV Stream file. It is a format with muxed video and audio, and AFAIK only used by iMovie on the Mac. It’s not a format you want to use for working in Final Cut.

How long is the media, not the clip, the actual QT media file from which this was taken? There was a speed change bug in v4 with long pieces of media. The only solution was export that clip, reimport it and hen apply the speed change. You can do it either your way, which does work, or with the reverse check box.

That functionality was removed in v5, if you;’re working with the current version of the OS and QT. It’s no longer part of the QT module and DVDSP does not install it. Basically you have to use compressor.

In iDVD open the project. Look under Project>Properties.

Pan and scan can be set on your DVD player.

Then possibly your DVD player is set to show widescreen material in pan and scan mode, basically the middle 4:3 portion of widescreen image.

Which version of iDVD is this? Are the project preferences set to widescreen? Do you mean an HDR-HC3, the Sony HDV camera? And I assume you shot in HDV format and captured using HDV presets and sequences. Is that correct?

I’m sorry we can’t see your TV set from here. What do you mean by cut off? Cut in half maybe? Vertically? Horizontally? Black bands left and right? Top and bottom? Safe action cutoff? What are you talking about? Yes, there will be safe action cutoff when displayed on a television set.

Sounds like they have a blue label. Nothing to do with dropped frame.

You’re best off monitoring the camera or deck. Plug in headphones if you have to.

You can make the audio come through the speakers by changing the capture preset. Go into the advanced audio section of the capture preset and you’ll find it in there. It is not recommended as it can cause audio sync drift.

All the best,
