Problems w/QT Pro 7.6 visual settings

Hello,

I've investigated this problem and although I've found some answers, I'm not able to resolve what's wrong. I have a self-contained quicktime from a 1080i60 1440x1080 HDV sequence (FCP). I compress the file in Compressor and, regardless of the file format being compressed to, the resulting file plays at the proper 16:9 frame size in QuickTime X but incorrectly at 4:3 in QuickTime Pro 7.6. The current size setting is always different from the actual size and wrong. I know I should be able to change the visual settings in the Properties window, but when I type in a new setting in the visual settings field and either close the properties window or click on another track, those new settings are not being saved. Is there a reason why the "current size" setting in QuickTime Pro is constantly incorrect? How else can I address this problem?

Thanks,
Matt

rafael, thanks for getting back to me. below is an image of the visual settings window from quicktime for an mp4 whose normal size is 1440x1080 but displays at 1224x917 in quicktime pro. In quicktime X it displays correctly. Is there something about the mp4 format that I'm missing?



thanks,
matt

I tried unchecking "preserve aspect ratio" at 1920x1080 and that worked. I also realized that coming out of compressor I had to set the pixel aspect to square in the geometry tab. I think I understand this a little better now, and at least I'll now what to look for if quicktimes are displaying incorrectly. In fact, I'm compressing a 1440x1080 to mp4 right now to 1280x720, and with the pixel aspect set to square i believe that should come out correctly. I did a test and it seemed right. Does that sound like the proper setting to you?
Thanks for your help!
