• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Desperate Help With Final Cut Experss

I've searched high and low for a solution to my problem and all that has been suggested before hand hasn't worked.

I'm using Final Cut Express Version 4.0.1 and am trying to export a video with Quicktime Conversion in HD 1280 X 720 16:9. All of my other videos have exported correctly in this ratio but for some reason this one has not. No matter what ratio or size I select under 16:9 it still exports it letterboxed into a 4:3 video.
In the sequence video window whilst editing the video files are letterboxed at the side whereas my previous videos are not. I have not changed the setting on my VX2000E so am confused as to why this has happened...

Any help is truly appreciated as this video is for a university project that has to be handed in very soon.
Thanks in advance, Jim.

Check your Final Cut settings, more than likely you did not create a 1280x720 timeline and was editing in an sd timeline. If that is the case you might have to do it all over again.
