How do I make my quicktime files set at 720x480?

Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me out, as I've been struggling with the following problem for several days.
I am running Quicktime vers 7.6.2 on OS 10.5.7 (along with Final Cut Pro 6.0.5)
When I bring in video into my internal hard drive (from a mini DV camera through final cut pro), the video says it's captured at 720 x 480 (according to my final cut pro settings, as well as the clip itself in the broswer).
However, once I double click on the quicktime icon, and open it onto my desktop, it shows as 640 x 480 (when I click "command - i" on the clip itself.)
When I go to Show Movie Properties, than Presentation, the box "Conform aperture to Clean" is set. I can deselect the box, or change it to Classic (which is what I WANT... non square pixels), it only changes that individual clip, but the setting does not save. It defaults back to "clean"
So... My final cut pro settings are all correct (I've already posted this problem in the FCP boards, and it seems this is a quicktime issue).
The video information in the Browswer shows up as 720 x 480, but the information changes once I open the clip (and then shows as 640 x 480)
I have no idea why this is happening.
I even re-installed FCP from scratch.
Any help would be VERY much appreciated!
Thank you!!

First off no need to reinstall FCP.(!) There is nothing wrong. It's rectangular (DV Video) vs. square pixels (Computer monitor)

  • How can I split a QuickTime file in two?

    8/21/2006. How can I split a QuickTime file in two? I saved a two hour videotape converted by PYRO A/V LINK to iBook G4 combo into a file of 24.5 Gb, and I saved to QuickTime into 536 mgs. Of course, it took half a day. When I went to copy it as video (536 mgs) onto a CD of 700 mg capacity, Toast 7 said it required 1100 mgs and couldn't do it. I have QuickTime Pro, got just recently. I would be very happy to learn how to split it, so to copy each of the split pieces onto 2 CD's, for my own purposes. Many, many thanks. Chuck Yopst.

    Kirk, Thanks for your post Monday 8/21. Interesting how things worked out. I split the OuickTime file--of my retired uncle Church of the Brethren pastor's 50th wedding anniversary, and came up with two folders. Each contained four more folders, and inside folder Mvseg was file Avseq.dat which contained the video material and, when double clicked, started playing that half of the story on Windows 98SE. It just so happens that my uncle's PC operating system is a Windows 98SE. All this from QuickTime 7.0 which Windows 98SE would play the audio but not the video. Then a week later, yesterday in fact, in looking through iDVD help I found your solution, which heretofore I had no idea of. I had to go into System Preferences--Hardware--CDs & DVDs, and set these for "Open with 'Ask what you want to do'." The factory settings were to "open these when inserted" without that "Ask"ing. So then I was able and did follow your solution and it worked, but as a single QuickTime file, playable on Windows XP and Windows 2000 and Macintosh but not Windows 98SE. So everything worked out well. And thank you again. Chuck Y

  • How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?

    How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?
    Basically I like the control over the compiling process that I get by using Ant - but I really want traces to come up immediately without having to switch contexts.
    I have an ant file that successfully launches a swf in the flashplayer - but I don't know how to make the flex console start displaying the trace output. I assume that I will have to point it to the appropriate trace output file - but I am not sure how to have ant even address the console.  Is this possible?
    Here is the the target node from my ANT file:
        <target name="launch">
            <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
                <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\test.swf'" />
            </exec>
        </target>
    Thanks for any thoughts, or alternatives!

    For the record, I ended up using Logwatcher - it worked perfectly.

  • How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello
    How can i make shorten systemlog files and joblog files on OS

    Hello Jan,
    You can limit the size of system log.
    The size of the application server's System Log is determined by the
    following SAP profile parameters. Once the current System Log reaches
    the maximum file size, it gets moved to the old_file and and a new
    System Log file gets created. The number of past days messages in the
    System Log depends on the amount/activity of System Log messages and the
    max file size. Once messages get rolled off the current and old files,
    they are no longer retrievable.
    rslg/local/file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOG<SYSNO>
    rslg/local/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/D*/log/SLOGO<SYSNO>
    rslg/max_diskspace/local 1000000
    rslg/central/file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJ
    rslg/central/old_file /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/global/SLOGJO
    rslg/max_diskspace/central
    Refer to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/c7/69bcbaf36611d3a6510000e835363f/content.htm
    for explanation of profile parameters.you can reduce the size of system log using rslg/max_diskspace_local and rslg/max_diskspace_central
    But you can't reduce the size of job log files on OS

    hello everyone,
    i have been searching for a solution for a long time please help me >
    we have more than 100.000 docuents saved as pic on our network at work by using ( Laser Fiche). I wanted to save all files by using acrobat distiller but when i try to print a file i was prompted to enter a file name! but i don't want to... i want the distiller create a file name automatially.

    How can I make the pdf file size smaller?

    Hi vickyb,
    Reducing the file size of PDF requires Acrobat (one way is by choosing File > Save As > Reduced Size PDF). If you don't have Acrobat, you can try it free for 30 days. See www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html for more information.

  • How can we make a .DLL file..???

    Hi,
    can any one tell me how can we make a .dll file..
    can we insert any font file (.ttf), image, icons in in the dll file to call them progrmatically in forms 6i...and use them onu where
    like i am currently using d2kwut60.dll file to call mouse cursors that loaded into it..
    I would appreciate any response to this issue..??
    regards,

    Ok,
    Let me take this example.
    Supposing A vendor with 3 AP open items, B vendor with 2 AP open items.
    When making a payment proposal, SAP shows only 2 lines, namely, collected by vendor code.
    Looking at DME file, however, it shows 5 lines which means all individual open items.
    What we want to make is 2 lines in DME file, which means grouping invoices by vendor in a DME file.
    Hope it makse sense.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • How do you make MP3 audio files?

    I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited candidates to submit statements, along with MP3 audio files for display on its website.
    So how does one make an MP3 audio file? Is this something I can do with my MacBook Pro and Leopard alone, or do I need to obtain a special software program?
    Thanks.

    Hi David!
    As Francine mentioned, you will want to use the audio production software that came with your Mac, called Garageband. This will let you record speech, and even layer in music, etc. And when everything is set as you like it, the sound file can be exported in a variety of formats. It will provide a great basic audio recording solution for strictly voice and talking, but you can take things one step further and layer in a music track as an intro or outro if desired for a little more flair, edit out mistakes, etc. A great program that comes right with your Mac. There are nice basic tutorials on the Apple website which give an introduction to Garageband. Good luck David!
