• 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.

Hello All;
I captured some footage from a Standard Definition Camcorder that has a wide screen. It looks like it is wide screen when played back in FCP. However, when I export to MP4, it does not look wide screen. Is there any special settings I need to use in the compressor to make the movie conform to the footage captured in fcp ? Thanks.

I would duplicate the MP4 preset you used and under Settings or Geometry in the Inspector, change the aspect ratio to 16:9 and/or change the dimensions to a widescreen size.
