It *should* work, though. I have a different experience to you, Verdi. I love iPod Export - It works for me, unless the settings get screwed like I described before. I've often found that, if everything else is in order, iPod export gives a better quality and faster export than almost anything else, with a file size of around 10-15MB per minute, and it almost always exports at the right Aspect Ratio.

What I do is export a full resolution copy from FCP and open that in QuickTime pro and then compress from there. QuickTime pro gets it right. Doesn't make sense but that's the way it is. - Verdi On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 1:32 PM, JD Lasica <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, I've been experiencing a strange problem. > > I shoot my videos in HD on a Canon VH20 at 1440x1080 (and output the > finished works at 480x270). > > When I output the finished video in iMovie (as mp4, .mov or .m4v for > the iphone), they turn out fine. > > When I output it in Final Cut Pro, they turn out fine in .mp4 but > distorted (squeezed and deeper) when I export in either: > QuickTime Conversion > iphone (where it's all done automatically) > QuickTime Conversion > QuickTime Movie > > I asked my FCP tutor about this yesterday and he couldn't track down > the problem. > > Could the culprit be FCP's Audio/Video Settings?
