Hum, I wonder if this is actually the same problem as mine. FCP seems to be interpreting my 16:9 clips as 4:3, even though I was marking them as 16:9 when clipping in Streamclip. So if I used any anamorphic settings in FCP, the result was very visibly stretched. On the other hand, if I used 4:3 settings, the result wasn't too obviously stretched, but there were black bars on all sides of the final vid and there seemed to be pixel aspect ratio issues.
Incidentally, I have found a workaround: I export my final vid using DV NTSC in final cut, which, because FCP thinks the vid is 4:3, ends up having black bars all around. I then convert the final export in Streamclip to h264 mov and crop the bars. However, I'm not totally satisfied with this because the final result has a frame size of 640x360, and damn if I don't want at least 720x405.
Anyway, what is your experience with the quality/stability of Apple Intermediate Codec? Any stray frame issues or crashing?

Thanks so much!
