MOV & H.624 'Squashed'. FLV is OK. What is wrong?

I have a large project that I am sending off to a client and wish to provide a variety of formats.
So far all my efforts to get all files exported in wide screen have given me success with FLV but the MOV and H.264 appear ot be 4:3 instead of 16:9.
The project is 16:9. I have followed all the instructions I usually do, but it still produces only one suitable outcome.
Any idea on what I am doing wrong?
I am using MAC Pro. Most of the advice I have read is for PC.
Many thanks
Vic

Chances are you're doing nothing wrong. Most often when this question comes up, the answer is that you need to manually tell the software player to unsquish the video.

Creating a Movie Symbol with Various FLV files

I am new to using video inside of Flash CS3. I have a series
of video clips that I want to play in succession. So, I created a
movie clip symbol which, byitself, plays just fine.
What I want to accomplish is a starting frame with some
words, movie clip and then an ending frame with logo.
When I try to play the movie, the words show up fine, but the
movie clip doesn't play...what happens is the first frame shows up
and then loops back to the first frame with the words....and even
though I have looping turned off, it keeps doing it (acting like it
is looping).
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to implement Actionscript?
HELP!
Thanks so much!

I don't think your explanation is very clear. Can you either
be more specific or include a sample fla file? I mean, there are
questions as to are you importing flv files or embedding them, how
your time line is set up, etc.

HT1498 I just bought Apple TV 2 weeks ago. I have a brand new Samsung LED TV. Everything works fine. I rented a movie from iTunes and it took 4 hours to download. My friend said this is wrong, his movies play instantly, so what's wrong?

I just purchased the movie The Avengers from my iPad. It took a while to download, but then I would get a error message that download isn't complete and to retry. I'd retry and the same message would pop up again. What went wrong?
Thanks.

While you can redownload most past purchases without charge, you can't redownload movies without paying again. See Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

What version of FCP X?
Did you render? what are the project specs? do you use many compound clips? how much ram, hard drive space, how is the hard drive connected?
It looks like your mac can't keep up. Maybe the bottleneck is the hard drive, or something else.
Try exporting a master file and see if the video is ok.
Also, keep Activity Monitor open and see how much memory pressure you've got.

HT1657 When I try to play my rented movie I get an error 42110. Whats that mean?

When I try to play my rented movie I get an error 42110. Whats that mean?

Is this in iTunes, on an iPod/iPhone/iPad or AppleTV?
Not sure what the error number is.
If it's a portable device try restrating it by power cycling, if a computer reboot it and restrat iTunes - this may or may not work but cure an authorisation problem I had in itunes the other day.
Good luck.

I just experienced this exact same issue with my early 2011 15" macbook pro. Since like a month after purchasing it I had issues with the screen randomly going dark on me. I sent it in for repair inder waranty they replaced the gpu and logic board but I continued to have the same issues with the screen randomly going black sometimes I would need to reboot it in order to get the screen to go back on but it happened so infrequently and I used the computer for school so disnt find the time to resend it in to apple. Just last night the screen started to display the blue screen with black verticle lines on it. I called apple and explained to them the issues that had been ongoing since I purchased the laptop but they said because I was now outside of warantee that any repairs at thia point wouldn't be covered. Fml so glad I spent 2200 on this future proof macbook pro what a joke my sister purchased a toshiba laptop for 300 4 years ago and it still running like a champ. I loved my macbook but at the price I paid I expect it to last longer than 2 years before leaving me high and dry. *** apple??

A FCP user gave me .mov's that PP CS5 cant open, what can I do? (File link enclosed)

A FCP shooter gave me .mov's that PP CS5 cant open, what can I do? I guess she rewrapped the files because as they try to import into cs5 a FCP loading diologe box opens stating: Importing FCP XML.... Afterwards it says i dont have the codec necc.
I'm PC based only.
Here is a link to a short clip that can be downloaded.
I'm really stuck here guys. Cant reach the shooter.
The 5 second clip can be seen & downloaded from Vimeo:

If you tried XD Decode you must think that they originated as XDCam then, right? That is the codec I had to buy and once it was installed everything was transparent and normal. So I'm not sure what the crashing is all about, assuming your system meets the minimal tech. requirements. I'd give it another try if you haven't already.
Your best hope would be to locate the original camera files, which could very well have been deleted following the .mov copying via the Mac. I've had no problem with native XDCam in Premiere. The next best solution might be to have that FCP user do the conversions to another file format you can use. Hopefully there aren't thousands of them.
Firstodd, that's very interesting that your Avid MC was able to work with those files. I just found this from an Avid doc of last year: "If you want to play the exported movie in QuickTime, you need to purchase a third-party QuickTime plug-in. Avid recommends the Calibrated{Q} XD Decode from Calibrated Software"
Still, for the $80 I spent a year ago, XD Decode was well worth it in time saved. I see the price has gone up $50 since then though.

My Apple TV is taking ages to download movies what is wrong?

My apple TV is right next to the wifi modem but is still taking 24 hours to download one movie. My wifi is probably not the problem as all my other devices are working on it fine. What is wrong and how can i fix it?

What is your current connection via speedtest.net?
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
Other devices working doesn't rule out a wifi issue. Trying ethernet will help verify this. It will also help to get a network report by going to istumbler, netstumbler or similar and look for signal strength as well as any noise detected.

IIRC, you can only download a maximum file size of 100MB with cellular.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try pulling all the cables for a few moments and trying again.

I recently rented a movie, it downloaded successfully, but it won't play. When I call up the movie, there is no play button, just what appears to be a stop button. How do I access this movie, or get a refund?

As it says on the page that you posted from :
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I purchased a iBook G4 with OS 10.5.6. I imported .mov files (shot in High Definition) -- I hear audio in playback but no picture. What's wrong?

What version of iMovie is this? Where did this media come from? It's probably in a format or codec not supported by your computer.
