Can anyone tell me if Quicktime Pro retains aspect ratio once a video is rotated?
I'm reluctant to purchase Quicktime Pro until I know the answer to this question and Apple Support doesn't seem to have anyway to ask, so I thought I'd try this group.
I took some videos with my iPhone (the long way), and need to be able to rotate them and convert them to avi files. I understand that Quicktime Pro can do the rotation and conversion, but I saw one review that said the aspect ratio is not retained, i.e. the video comes out flattend (wider).
Can anyone tell me if this is still true with QT Pro, or if there are other solutions for resolving this outside of QT Pro?? I have tried a number of other converters, and found one that rotates, but aspect ratio not retained.
Thanks in advance for any help shared!!!

This may or may not depend on your specific work flow. Many "settings' saved to the original file by QT 7 Pro are merely "playback instructions" which may or may not play correctly in other media players while these same settings do work properly when saved/converted to a new file container. In addition, not being a Windows user, I don't know if there are are any significant differences between the Mac and Windows versions of QT 7. In any case, I just took a short sample clip, stored it on my hard drive via Aperture 3, opened the file in QT 7 Pro, rotated the clip in QT 7 Pro, and used the "Save As..." command to store the modified file. This modified file now plays correctly in current versions of the QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, and VLC media players. Have uploaded a copy of this file so you can download it, test playback in various players you normally use, and/or test convert it to your specific AVI audio and video compression formats.

As indicated above, the file plays correctly for me in various media players and all media "Inspector" windows, including other third party media information utilities, confirm the correct dimensions and aspect ratio as displayed. As to AVI conversion, I test converted the uploaded file to AVI (DivX5/MP3) at original dimensions using VisualHub. (Also tried the VideoMonkey AVI encode but it limited the source 720p file to a 720x480 output and I did not know if you were agreeable to such a restriction.) Suggest you run similar tests with your preferred Windows converters to confirm/refute results on your system.

Won't work shooting in 60P format. But will work fine in the others. I use the built in card reader in my Mac and it shows up fine in iMovie.

Hi, can anyone tell me the capacity of battery for 5th gen ipod video?
Hi just a purchased what was advertised as a 850mAh battery for iPod and received a 480mAh instead. Guess where i bought it? eBay of course, should have known better i didnt even think you could get a batt. of that strength for 30g. i have emailed the seller but wanted to know what the actual capacity was as i dare'nt open my iPod at this stage. Any advice would be helpful, thanks Dolly.
You didn't mention which of the video iPods you have as they use slightly different batteries.
But, the 30GB uses a smaller battery in that range you mention, something like 450-500mAh. You can buy better ones rated at about 550mAh from online retailers.
For the 60 and 80 GB models, both of those use larger 850mAh batteries.
So if you use a 30GB iPod, despite the advertisement saying they carried 850mAh batteries, which would be only for 60/80GB models, you basically got the correct battery. Although as I said, you can buy slightly higher capacity ones for the 30GB if you wanted, but not double.

I am new to Mac Pro and am purchasing one online tonight. Can anyone tell me how to get my information - Itunes, photos, and videos transferred onto the Mac from my Toshiba. the state I live in doesn't have an Apple store but I could take it to Minneapolis when I go. Any ideas where to begin?
You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

My ipad in top right corner has a picture of a padlock with w/ circle and arrow on one end of circle it just showed up a few days ago can anyone tell me what it is and how remove it thank you
Rotation Lock
Rotation Lock prevents the iPad display from switching between portrait and landscape mode. While Screen Rotation Lock is enabled, the following occurs:
The display remains in landscape or portrait mode, regardless of how iPad is held.
The Rotation Lock icon appears in the status bar.
A padlock appears in the rotation lock button (viewable when you flick to the left on the recently used apps list, after double-clicking the Home button).

I have a 17-inch MacBook Pro with a destroyed screen. (My son put it on the top of his car and drove off and it fell off.) Can anyone tell me the keystrokes to make an external monitor the primary monitor? I can see only the upper left side of the laptop screen so I CAN select system preferences. I can then arrow over to system preferences and down to make selections I cannot see. I don't know then what to do or IF I can make the choices needed to make the external monitor primary when all I can do is make keystrokes on items I cannot see. It's an older (about 2008) MacBook Pro and I would like to use the external monitor to see to connect an external hard drive and download files to install on a new MacBook. My son might know the iOS but I don't.
• I don't know then what to do or IF I can make the choices needed to make the external monitor primary
This is the left side of System Preferences in OS 10.8.3. (if that is not what the MBP is running post back). By the way, if you can grab the top of that pane you could move it over to the top far left. - Same for any pane.
Do this with the external monitor connected and powered on.
You need to click on Displays., and then grope for Arrangement and click there.
When you get there, the two screens are shown.
The trick is to grab the white stripe (on the left in this image) and move it to the other rectangle. You do not have to position it exactly, it snaps into place when it gets close. -

I should have added to my posting (instead of using this "reply" - it is the server passwork it is asking for and I have never known that I had one and assumed it was the passwork I always used for this type of thing.

Hi can anyone tell me if the macbook A1278 (5,1) is a pro?
No, it was part of the MacBook line. But in Mid 2009 the 13" Aluminum Unibody was folded into the MacBook Pro line. The difference is mainly in the ports on the left hand side.

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?
You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.
