Hi, everyone. My original resources are shot by Panasonic Dvcpro HD with the format 1080i50; 1920*1080; now i log and transfer in Final cut pro,with easy setting as Dvcpro HD 1080i50. It seems everythhing is correct, but the mov files that i get are 1440*1080, instead of 1920*1080. What's the problem? Are there any other settings that i do wrong?

Thank you for your answer, Walter. But still i have some questions. If this is an anamorphic format, then is there a way that i get a normal format? Since when I shot, I shot 16:9 videos and I don't want to get some 4:3 video files as my result.

[Newton Niu]"How come a 1440*1080 video is still 16:9? And 1440:1080=4:3=1.33? I am a little confused."
Anamorphic video takes a 16x9 image, squeezes it into and 4x3 frame when recorded, then unsqueezes the image back to 16x9 on the fly for display. It's just another way of compressing and uncompressing information to save space.
