[MacDV] MPEG Stream Clip Question

[Conlon Brett]

Hi Jan,

OK, I think I'm on the right track but need further guidance.

I downloaded the Dumpster app from the Apple Quicktime Tools page.

I opened my mp4 file and saw a text listing of parameters. I discovered when I click on a parameter it displays tables of values. I tried clicking on:

	'trak' - Track
		'tkhd' - Track Header
			matrix (first field)

I tried entering "64/45" <enter>; "64/45 = 1.422222" <enter>; "xyz" <enter> and the value keeps returning to 1.0

What next? How do I get it to stick and was I supposed to put the whole "4/45 = 1.422222" or just "64/45"?

Cheers,

Brett
