Getting 853.3 pixels when I want 720

I'm trying to convert a large batch of hdv media into DV media anamorphic so I can edit in a DV timeline and have the final DVD product be widescreen. I cannot edit HDV and just convert the sequence. I need to convert all my clips and must edit a DV sequence. However, when I use Compressor setting for advanced format conversion DV NTSC, I end up with media files that are 853 X 480 instead of squeezed 720 X 480. With certain settings I manage to get a squeezed image but 640 wide rather than 720. What settings do I need to change to get my wide HDV clip squished into a 720 X 480 clip?
I get exactly what I want when I use media manager in FCP 5 to export a "recompress" using DV NTSC - my wide HDV image squeezed into a 720 X 480 image. But I really don't want to use media manager for this (I have my reasons). I need to be able to drag my clips into compressor and apply the correct settings. Seems like I've tried everything.

I've also tried both the DV NTSC compressor setting and the DV NTSC Anamorphic compressor setting. It's possible there is some combination of all these that I have missed.
If you're indeed using the DV-NTSC Anamorphic setting in Compressor, it should as Kyle mentions, open up in QT Player as 853x480. But that is only for playback purposes. As mentioned, it should import into FCP as 720x480 with the Anamorphic flag set.
That is the correct behavior for the setting and what you want if you're going to be onlining using DV, but don't want to go letterboxed 4:3.
I get the sense you're trying adjusting settings that don't need to be adjusted.

    I keep getting a file (pixel.cgi ) that wants to download when I use certain sites (Groupon/ Thomas Cook). I have scanned my mac for virus but none can be found.

    A CGI file usually runs a server side script with specific parameters and there is usually data appended to the link to specify that action.
    It that GET or POST data is missing then you may get a download prompt to save the file instead.

  • I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    I had to erase my hard drive and then reinstall everything back from my passport external hard drive. Now my iPhoto edit is not working. I get a blank screen when I want to edit. The photos show up in the library but I cannot edit them. Help?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    *1. Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    *2. Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    *3. A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    *4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    *5. A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    How do I get dictation I know when I want the word period and not a full stop.

    Try the alternatives: "point," "dot," and/or "full stop." Do any of these options produce a period for you? And, as a different punctuation test, does something such as "comma" work for you?

  • I need to know how to get my password for when i want to download apps, i totally forgot it.. How do i get it back !?

    okay so i bought this ipod from a pawn shop

    i go to the App store on the ipod a thing pops

    I have no idea how to get her crap off of My new

    You do not have the legal right to use the last owners content, nor is it legal for you to hack her account by getting her password.
    You need to erase the ipod and pout your content on it.

  • I keep getting exit code 15 when I want to install a CC app

    Hi,
    I try installing Adobe CC apps, but keep getting exit code 15;
    Exit Code: 15
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting. For example,  ERROR:
    -------------------------------------- Summary --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 0 error(s)
    I have
    1. uninstalled ALL adobe creative suite 6 apps,
    2. repaired disk permissions using Disk Repair,
    3. temporarily removed plist files, using the 'sh' command in terminal as suggested on the Adobe site
    nothing helps, still getting exit code 15...
    What now?

    Hi kglad, thanks for the fast response.
    I ran the CC cleaner tool and removed EVERYTHING (from CS 4 to CS6 and the CC desktop app). Then re-installed the CC desktop app. The strange thing is that after re-installing the CC desktop app, it shows that my previously installed applications (that I had removed) are still in place and up to date (which is not the case) - see screendump.
    Trying to install Acrobat XI results in the same error (Exit code 15). I have the feeling I first need to get rid of the old installed apps (CS6), but obviously the CC cleaner tool is not able to remove them. Any suggestions? :-(
    Thanks, Erik.

  • How do I get capital letters ONLY when I want them?

    I had the same problem long ago, but I have forgotten how I fixed it. As things are now, I have to keep resetting the keyboard by clicking on the SHIFT key and then the CAPS LOCK key. This fix doesn't last very long. What is a more permanent one?

    Just checking: you are sure you are not just accidentaly hitting the caps lock? Also: does this happen with different keyboards?
    No, I'm not sure, but when this happened years ago, someone told me how to stop this from happening, and it didn't involve my typing. I only have one keyboard.

    Tisztelt Dr. Fürjes Lajos!
    Sajnos nincs egyedül a problémával. Sok más esetben is jelentkezett a probléma, sajnos megoldani nem tudták, ahogy kivettem a szövegekből.
    Személy szerint a következőt javaslom: Kérem, navigáljon el a jobb oldali legördülő menü, beállítások fülhöz, ott globális ''beállítások''at válassza("beállítások" ként szerepel), majd a ''speciális fül'', ott a ''hálózat és lemezterület'' alfül és ott ürítse a helyi gyorsítótárat, a ''lemezterület'' szekciónál a ''törlés most'' gombbal. Majd indítsa újra a programot.
    Amennyiben ez megoldotta volna a problémát, kérem jelezze.

  • Keep getting storage full messages when I want to download things but iCloud is just about empty

    How to store downloads in iCloud?

    You cannot store your music and movies directly in the cloud, but if you bought them on iTunes, then you should be able to download your purchased media for free again. It only depends which services of iTunes in the cloud are available in your country: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

  • I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

    I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution.  When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom.  How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?  I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended.  I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business.  I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now.  Hopefully you can help me.  Thanks.

    desalvom
    Thank you for your reply.
    You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
    that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
    different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
    etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
    the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
    If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
    But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
    HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
    at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
    Best results depend on you
    a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
    you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR [email protected]
    or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
    b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
    customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
    and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
    the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
    Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
    All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
    I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
    and it is low quality
    Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
    the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
    Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • I updated my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by it like a picture is taken of the screen and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopar

    i upgraded my iMac to lion and now when i leave my desktop and it goes into stand by mode, its like a picture is taken of the actice desktop and when i want to log in the mouse point removes pixels so i can get to the user login screen this never happened ith snow leopard. does anyone else experience this and is there a fix?

    I have an iMac 8, 1 that I upgraded Leopard to Snow Leopard.  It was totally updated with the latest from Apple when I bought and tried installing Lion.  The upgrade failed, shot my OS and I couldn't boot.  Had the constant spinner on a grey screen..  did a format of the drive, hdd repair and everything came back clean... got back to Snow Leopard and all the updates on it again and then retried the Lion thing... same bs... dead duck.  Crashed my system one too many times.  I can't see where a few small changes, mostly app related can be classified as an OS upgrade and is not compatible with my iMac.  I have the stuff running on my Mac Pro but have yet to notice anything impressive.  I've always used F3 and really didn't require Mission Control.  Just open you app folder for launch pad... duh?  I use the hot corners anyhow.  As far as Safari is concerned... as a power user, Apple missed the boat on that for me.. full screen etc.. Wow.  I don't like the new Mail either..
    As you can see/read, I'm less than impressed with this release from Apple but I own so many of their products that I will have to put up with it for now... somehow the MS logo should apply to this release Steve.

  • My friend's apple ID shows up when I want to update my Apps. How can I get rid of it and see my own instead?

    On my iPhone I see my friend's Apple ID when I want to update my Apps and can't seem to login with my own. What's wrong? How can I get rid off my friend's ID and login with my own when I want to update or download apps? I went to Itunes Store in Setting and checked if my ID was still there, and it is so I have no idea what's wrong.

    I'm still not clear about what you mean about unlocking your phone. Normally, "unlocking" means entering the password if the phone is locked, which you should be able to do from the phone itself. If you want more help with this, you really need to take the time to furnish all the relevant details.
    I have a MacBook Pro, and yes when I connect my iPhone on it it shows up in the devices list.
    When you do that & click on the iPhone in the list, then click on the "Apps" tab at the top, do you see the apps you can't update listed there? If you click on the "Store" menu item does it show near the bottom that you are logged in with your own Apple ID?
    As wjosten said, it sounds like one way or another, the apps you cannot update were obtained using your friend's Apple ID. You need to delete them from your phone & try buying them again. If they were in fact paid for with your own Apple ID you won't have to pay again; otherwise you will.
