Export .dv files in 16x9? can't seem to do it

I'm using iMovie HD still (I hated the new version that came with my new imac). When exporting a .dv file for upload to youtube (so as not to have any loss) it keeps coming out squashed into a 4:3 aspect ratio. If I export (share) in the lesser formats the aspect ratio stays 16:9. Any way to either convert my 'shared' .dv file to 16:9 and have it stay that way ( I tried using QT pro but it doesn't 'stick' after I save it) or to export from iM HD in 16:9 and keep the optimum quality? Thanks - Chris

I have an update! and its good news....
After I wasn't able to change the partition, I managed to get a copy of iPartition from a friend and that sorted out the partition issue. Created an iPartition boot disk and after rebooting with that it allowed me to re-size the snow leopard partition, so I am very happily running a much faster Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard on it!
Its probably going to take a while to reload everything I had on the laptop, however i'm slowly getting there, fortunatley i'd backed up all .dmg install files and serial numbers so shouldn't be an issues.
One final thing I must admit i'm missing is the new touchpad gestures that Lion had!! Especially that wonderful way you could go back to previous web pages with a gesture rather than having to click the back button.... Don't suppose anyone has come up with an app to add these to Snow Leopard yet!?

  • Phony USPS exe file. Now can't seem to delete downloads.

    I opened a phony email from USPS saying something was not deliverable and asking me to "Print Label." This downloaded an execute file 11 pages of computer programming text. Now I can't seem to delete downloads. How do I delete a download? Or, do I have a bigger problem? Jack.

    There shouldn't be any harmful consequences because .exe files aren't even compatible with Macs (they're for Windows), they will always show up as script in TextEdit. So in the future don't even bother downloading .exe files, just stop the downloads if you see they are .exe because it's a waste of time and hard drive space.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT1222 When I try to install iTunes 10.7 it says it can't find the iTune64.msi file. I can't seem to find a replacement download for that file.

    I have ITunes installed on my PC which runs Windows Vista in support of my IPad.  When I try to install the update for ITunes 10.7 version, it says it can't find the "itunes64.msi" file.  How do I correct this, or where can I find a download for the itunes64.msi file?

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • IMovie isn't autosaving my events/movies and won't let me export the file. How can I ensure my projects aren't deleted if I can't manually save?

    I created a movie w/ no theme and added my raw footage to it. I edited and was ready to export but wouldn't let me share the file. When I tried to export to a file, in the "Theater" view the progress bar stayed empty and there were no files created in the target folder.
    I closed iMovie (since it should auto-save my work) to try again and when I re-opened iMovie (took a couple tries, as it froze the first time I opened it) there was no movie. No trace of any of the work I had done, other than the raw imported footage.
    Two questions:
    1) Why isn't iMovie autosaving the movie?
    2) Why wasn't I able to export it?

    What exactly is the error you get?
    How are you attempting this copy?
    There's almost certainly a way to accomplish what you want to do (probably best from the terminal possibly copying the entire user dir and fixing up permissions, etc.) but I'm not sure you will end up with the results you want.  There are plists in the preferences dir that you probably don't want to copy over (e.g., many of the com.apple.* prefererences).  And many apps also create more than just plists.  There may be stuff in Application Support, LaunchAgents, Internet Plug-Ins, etc.).  And this would be stuff you do want to copy.  Bottom line is it is not a trivial exercise which is probably why the system is slapping your hands for even attempting it

  • How can I export a file that may use in Final Cut Pro?

    Hello friends,
    May I know how to export a file that I can use it Final Cut Pro???

    If you are talking about rendering then just use any production codec that FCP supports. You have access to them all. Use the Render Cue or create a custom preset in the Adobe Media Encoder.
    If you want to do something like dynamic link with FCP, that does not exist. You can save a PPro project as a FCP XML but any PPro effects or PPro settings unique to PPro will not come across. If you turn an After Effects project into a FCP project by going through PPro as was suggested then you will NOT get any of the effects you applied to your composition or any of the animation or anything but the footage In and Out points, opacity, rotation and position because that is all that will be moved into PPro because After Effects plug-ins are not compatible with PPro. If there is a dynamic link to an AE project in your PPro project that will not move to FCP at all. You'll get nothing.
    So the long and short of it is if you want the work that you have done in AE to show up in FCP you must render the project. I use ProRez 444 10 bit for any work I do on FCP. You can make a custom Output Module preset to help speed up the workflow.
    If you are new to AE please read this on rendering: After Effects Help | Basics of rendering and exporting
    If you are really new please go through these three tutorials: Basic Workflow

  • Help! Can't open .dmg files suddenly, and can't find stuffit expander application!

    My iMac is currently running on Mac os x 10.5.8, **out of nowhere my computer can't open dmg files. I can't seem to find the stuffit expander application anywhere in my hard drive either, which usually opens these files. Is there another application that can open dmg files? Help Please! I need to open multiple dmg files tonight and can't figure out a way around this. Downloading/running a new stuffit expander application also happens to be a .dmg file. If anyone can help me I'd appreciate it so much!

    Do you mean DiskImageMounter was chosen or not?
    No change on that .dmg or on on others?
    If you want to apply DiskImageMounter to all you have to choose "Change All".
    EDIT: Also, Repair Permissions from /Applications/Utilities/ Disk Utility.
    Also, George Orville has some interesting advice in this thread
    Note this advice is for 10.3 but much of it will apply here.

    I need pdf files so I can export, not hard copy. When I 'print' then 'save as pdf', I get blank docs. Why? How can it be resolved?

    Which version of Acrobat?

    Which version of Mac or Windows?
    Do these seem to be normal PDF documents - but just blank pages? How many blank pages?

  • Can't digitize or export QT files to our SAN (metaSAN)

    We've suddenly hit a huge problem where we can't digitize or export QuickTime files of any size to our SAN volumes (under metaSAN v.4.6) but we can digitize/export them to local drives or networked drives. This seems specific to QT files (other file types do work) and is happening on every one of our edit systems (5 in all). Behavior is file digitizes/exports, but is immediately listed as offline and can't be opened by QT. File also has no icon preview.
    We've isolated this down to being only a QT and metaSAN problem. If anyone reading this has seen this same issue please reply.

    The chances someone here has that specific issue is slim, very few SAN users at all.
    we realize and of course we started tech support conversations with the manufacture (who were unavailable at the time) and posted on forums more specific to SAN related issues... but in an effort to cover our bases and since only FCP/QT files were effected by this... I chose to post here as well.
    QT files are just files so without you patiently telling us how you arrived at your decision that is isolated we'll have to stick with "not likely."
    we tested numerous apps writing many different file types. the only file type that could not be open after written were QT from FCP. we did many tests to rule out variables.
    For the issue to be universal implies your network is messed up; there is nothing in the OS that would suddenly decide QT files cannot travel over Ethernet.
    we are talking about a fibre network, not ethernet. and yes... it's specific to our SAN network because we were able to write files locally and across afp to other networked drives. only the SAN volumes over fibre were behaving this way.
    we have found a temporary solution... after attempts to restart the SAN network... we reinstalled the SAN software and this got us back to square 1. clearly the issue is related to the SAN software. we hope we don't see this issue again.

  • HT201250 How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any idea

    How do I restore photos from Time Machine?  All of my photos have been imported within iPhoto and therefore are exported to Time Machine via an iPhoto file.  I can't figure out how to break individual photo files out of the iPhoto file.  Any ideas?

    You might post this query on the iPhoto forum and perhaps someone there can provide an answer.
    I tried this on my MBP and it seems that you have to restore the entire iPhoto Library.  What I did was put the current library in a separate folder on the desktop and then I restored the library from a prior date.  If you were to do that, you then could extract the desired photos and then delete the restored library.  Then place the current library back to the original location and import the desired photos.
    Not tidy but it seems it will work.

  • Since I have upgraded to Maverick, I can't seem to export in the m4v format.  Am I just missing it?

    Since I upgraded to Mavericks, I can't seem to export in the m4v format in imovie.  Am I just missing it? 

    .m4v isn't a "format" and is just a file extension.
    In the Mac OS an .m4v file would be opened and played by iTunes instead of QuickTime. That's all the extension is used for and you wan't to use .mp4 or .mov.

  • My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files).

    My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files in it at all - not sure what it would be useful for then).
    Any suggestions?

    Question asked and answered several times.
    If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.
    iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

  • I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories etc. I want to format it and use it on my IMAC for backup but I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    I have an external hard drive that was formatted by a PC and has files and directories copied to it etc. I want to use it on my IMAC for backup. I see it on my my IMAC . I can open files etc.  But I can't seem to write to it nor can I delete current content. I don't care if I lose current content. How do I initialize it for use with the MAC?

    You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
    If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)

  • How do I convert a file located in my e-mail from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save it in my word files.

    How do I convert a file located in my e-mail (that is secured) from PDF to Word.  I can't seem to save the PDF file anywhere.

    Hi williamf,
    For starters, please try triple-clicking in the Word document where you want to edit the text (sometimes, that's what it takes to select text in Word). If that doesn't work, I'd be interested in hearing more about the PDF file that you converted and the method that you used to convert it. For example, how was the PDF created (and by what app)? Did you convert via Adobe Reader (what version) or via the ExportPDF website?
    If you can tell us more about the file, we should be able to get to the bottom of things.
    Best,
    Sara
