New Quick Time frame size problem when viewing

Question

Just upgraded to FCPv7 and am having weird issues with playing back video in the new QT player.
I have exported several different formats of the same 30s video(ProRes422, H264 etc) . When played back, the window /frame size of the QT window is way out. The file info shows the correct info, as a 320 x 180 frame size, but QT keeps displaying it as larger than this, with poor quality (like it has been enlarged). If i export exactly the same file as a 480 x 270, it plays perfectly. I know it must be wrong as the dimensions of the QT windows are the same for both!
I have further checked this by playing both videos in my macbook (prev version of QT), and both play at the correct size.
How can I get the new version of QT to play the 320 x 180 at "actual size"? as the option is greyed out if I click properties?
Thanks

after an hours search on this forum. i found some ppl have the similar issue. it looks like my problem is one of those Layout problem
see before my code looks like this
            Component comp;
            if ( ( comp = player.getVisualComponent() ) != null ) {
                comp.setBackground( Color.BLACK );
                add( BorderLayout.CENTER, comp );             
            }now i am doing this:
            Component comp;
            if ( ( comp = player.getVisualComponent() ) != null ) {
                comp.setBackground( Color.BLACK );
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();// get screen size
          comp.setSize(screenSize.width, screenSize.height); // set size to video component at the start
                add( BorderLayout.CENTER, comp );              
            }i am not sure if this will fix my problem, i am keep running the test.
Thanks
