Hi Guys and Gals,<br>
<br>
A client wants me to do some minor editing on an existing DVD. This is not a commercial, protected DVD, even though the seven minute video it contains is very "cinematic" and professional. It's widescreen and 24 fps.<br>
<br>
I used the latest version of Handbrake to extract the video. I used the default settings, which use H.264 to create an MP4 file. This extracted video looks beautiful when played using Quicktime. The widescreen video exactly fills a widescreen player.<br>
<br>
Then I tried to import this MP4 into FCE. Didn't work, and the error file was very cryptic. So I switched to iMovie HD. This app imported the MP4, but did not recognize the widescreen format. The imported file has black bars at top, bottom and right side.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know the secret to importing widescreen MP4 into a good editing program and preserving the widescreen format all the way to export of the edited version?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Steve R.<br>
<br>
