Help: Why does hdv turning 4:3 using h264

Help, every time I compress my hdv footage using quicktime conversion H264 even though the size I choose says 16:9 it comes out at 4:3. what am I doing wrong, I know HDV is still really 4:# but what should my settings be if I want h264 compression and a 16:9 look. thanks in advance, i am using final cut 7

HDV is anamorphic. (1440x1080). This needs stretching to be seen as the correct aspect ratio.
If you choose the image size as either 1920x1080 .. or 1280x720, you should get what you want.
(I assume you are choosing "Export Using Quicktime Conversion".. then chosing Quicktime Movie with H264 compression? Then clicking on "size" in the video options?
Some of those size options say 16:9, which they are.. but are also anamorphic, which can get confusing. Is that where the problem is?)

    Why does Photostream turn off on my Windows PC when I exit the iCloud control panel?

    The iPhoto app on your iPad is not the cause of this problem.
    Try uninstalling the iCloud application from your computer. Then reinstall it following the links provided at http://www.apple.com/ca/icloud/setup/pc.html

  • Why does computer turn off when battery 40%?

    Why does computer turn off when battery around 40%? I have tried replacing the battery.

    Replacing as in "removed, re-installed", or "bought a new one"?
    This is my display from "Apple menu > About This Mac > More Info > Power"
    "Normal" means no issues.
    I will stop now in case you have actually put in a *new* battery ...

    ANYONE WITH NORTON SOFTWARE
    Someone has already mentioned Norton in this thread. Please note there is a known issue with some Norton software sometimes implicated in Firefox 24 crashes. Norton themselves are asking for more information.

  • Why does my mac restart when using FCP X?

    When using Final Cut Pro, why does my Macbook Pro restart the middle of a project?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Why does black turn grey when creating a pdf from InDesign CS5??

    Why do blacks turn to grey when I create/export a pdf from InDesign CS5?

    Unfortunately, things like this are rarely glitchy little programming errors but deep, by-design, problems with using colour management. Usually you are getting exactly what you asked for, just not what you want, and the more colour management options there are, the more likely this is.
    There are many possible causes, but one of the easiest to do is and hardest to spot is applying a CMYK profile in InDesign export, and a different one through Photoshop settings. This is actually demanding that colours be converted for the worst! Since your print workflow will be different, a work-around of rich black is likely to make things worse.
    So the first thing to check is whether the colours you indended made it to the PDF, indeed. Output Preview is the first tool to use (as well as inspecting plates, you can hover over points to check the colour mix).
    Also, go to your PDF export under the "Output" tab which includes colour and PDF/X. Either send a screen shot, or read off all of the the settings there.

  • TS3367 why does my screen freeze while using face time?

    Why does my screen freeze on my iphone 4 while using face time? I am connected to wi-fi and internet is working fine.

    Is your iPhone storage capacity full or close to it?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to computer restart.

    That would be an issue that you need to discuss with the iTunes/MAS support folks. When you sign into your account on the iTunes app on your computer check your purchase history. There is an invoice there for verything that you have purchased. If there is a question about a purchase listed, there is a link to iTunes Support from the invoice.

  • MacBook Pro screen does not turn on after using external display?

    Hello,
    I am using a 15 inch MacBook pro from mid 2012. At work I connect it via mini-display port to an eternal monitor. Recently however, sometimes after I go home and try to turn the laptop back on, it turns on, but the screen does not. If I connect it to another external monitor, it uses that as the default display. Sometimes I can just restart the laptop and everything is fine, other times I have to turn it back on while holding the shift key in order for the laptops built in display to be used.
    After work, I unplug the mini-display port, and then power off the laptop.
    Can anyone help me understand why this may be happening so I can prevent it from happening again?
    Thank you.
