How can I up-rez footage that was shot in DV-widescreen into an HDV project

We were shooting an HDV project this past week and one of the cameras we used (a Canon HV-20) was set to "DV-Widescreen" mode instead of HDV when recording. Obviously, this is a big screw up on our part, but I know the footage can still be captured in Final Cut and then "up-rezzed" for use in our HDV project to match all our other footage that was shot in HDV mode.
The question is, what settings (or method) is the best way to do this in FCP?
Thanks

Good to know about the Compressor looking better. I didn't know that information.
That said, if I do DV/NTSC it does capture it but it squashes the aspect ratio into a 4x3 frame. Because this was shot in DV "Widescreen" the original video image is 16x9. How do I import it so that doesn't happen and the 16x9 ratio is preserved?
Actually, I just watched that video and I need to know the answer to the above question regardless. Whether I use FCP or Compressor (and obviously I'll probably use the latter) I need my initial footage to be in it's original 16x9 aspect ratio. So how do I get that when digitizing it initially?

    You can't, i'm sorry. What you're running into is the activation lock and it requires that the original owner release it with their apple ID before you can set it up.

    How can I retreive a video that was deleted from my iphone??

    If it was a video taken on your iPad, and if you have it backed up from the last time you did an iTunes (or iCloud) backup, then yes, you can restore your iPad using that backup.

  • How can I restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod?

    My iPod classic has failed with an HDD error. I've tried recover mode and everything, it's goosed. Half my music was only on the iPod, a collection over the years from my various computers, it was backed up using itunes however. How can i restore the music that was on my iPod to my computer or another iPod? (dont have another classic, only shuffle and iphone) I'm guessing itunes holds some kind of virtual image of the ipod classic somewhere. THanks in advance for any info, google didn't produce anything I could use.

    That is stealing. Your friend does not have the right to give her music away. Delete them and purchase your own music.

    Hi Toniann,
    If you have a recent iCloud backup that was done when that message was on the devcie, you can restore from that backup.
    No, Apple does not keep your messages, no do they have access to them. That would be a serious invasion of privacy, don't you think?

  • How can I turn a form that is open on my browser into a PDF doc if I cannot save it onto my computer

    How can I turn a form that is on my Safari browser into a PDF if I cannot save the form onto my computer?

    Acrobat XI Pro has a "create PDF from a web page" feature. If you have Acrobat XI Pro installed perhaps you can "capture" the web form as a PDF. If so then this PDF can (of course) be saved to the local machine's HDD.
    Be well...

  • How can you sort an album that was released in 2007 but has 80s music on

    I have v8 of iTunes, almost completed all my tagging how I want it in iTunes for all my music
    I have a query though, I have a 80s, 90s smart playlist.
    I have recently got an album that was released in 2007, so the year in my library is 2007, however all the music on that album is from the 80s.
    So can you tag with 2 years, ie Album release date and song release (original date) or can you sort the album to show its songs from the 80s.
    Someone must have the same issue, especially from compilation albums
    please help
    cheers

    ahh, was hoping it may have had a "overall" year or album year release date.
    Man that means I gotta tag a lot of my music with the correct year now then, as the compilation albums I got all tagged form web with year released
    Whats the best way to get the year of the songs then please? is there an easy way? Ive got a lot of songs to do now
    cheers

  • How can I correct a photo that was printed in reverse

    I have a very old photo that was printed from either a glass plate or very early negative. Either way it was printed with the negative upside down so the photo is reversed. How can I correct that?

    Many people have upgraded and accidentally created a new account on their Macs.
    So, try logging out of the current user and see if your old user account is available to log in to. If so, log in and make sure everything is ok in that account.

  • How can I delete an event that was created somewhere else and sent to me?

    I have been sending myself invites from my work email (Outlook Calendar), and some of them have a recurrance.  I am looking to delete some of the events, but I can't figure out how to do it. Help?

    You either need to go into the event on you iPhone and change your responce to decline. This will remove it from your calendar. Or in Outlook you should remove yourself as an invitee.
    If you're looking to delete just some of the events, follow my first option on your iPhone.

  • How can I restore my library that was erased off external drive....

    I just accidently erased 90% of my itunes library that was reading off an external drive. The last 10% was recently purchases music that I downloaded directly to my laptop hard drive and remains intact (makes sense?). Basically I wiped out the external drive that my 90% library read to.
    I was able uncover hidden files off my ipod and inturn copy my library back to the external drive but the big question is - is there a way to restore all this without having to start over Itunes? Can I reimport it off the external drive from the ipod copyover? One thing I can't do is copy it back onto the laptop hard drive because there's nowhere near enough space. Thanks for you help!

    OK first thing you might want to do is read this post of mine from the other day...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6296361&#6296361
    because, well I am too lazy to type much of it again.
    But the part that really is for you is about half way down, just above the link where it starts with "If it was me, " which is what you want to do. In your case, you would use the "Add to library..." command twice. Once to add all the files from the external, and then again to grab all the ones off the internal, if you want everything located in one location. You can then remove the ones from your internal AFTER you verify that they made it to the external ok.
    As noted in that post at the end, but worth repeating, doing it with that method keeps everything all together (database files, media files, etc) in a single folder for your library rather than your database files on the internal and your media on the external or spread across both drives. If you ever need to move the library or want to use your library on other computers, you can simply move the folder or the entire drive and use the above instructions to open your library.

  • HT5616 How can I retrieve a note that was mistakenly deleted?

    I was going through my notes and I deleted in error one of the notes,pls Hw can I recover this file?

    Was it on your iPad when you last backed up ? If it was then you can try restoring to that backup (you will need to restore the whole backup, you can't just restore a note or the Notes app).
