tassosssI'm having issues with converting to DV files in MPEG streamclip and retaining super widescreen aspect ratio, and my google fu is failing me.
I'm on mac OSX 10.9.5, using MPEG Streamclip version 1.9.3b8. I'm trying to clip Captain America The First Avenger which I have as an .mp4 file. The aspect ratio is super widescreen 2.36:1 (1280x542). I'm editing in FCPX. This is the first time I've tried clipping a movie with this aspect ratio.
Usually I use MPEG Streamclip to convert to .dv for editing, but the only options it gives for aspect ratio are 4:3 and 16:9, which obviously are no good. The video gets squished.
Is there a way to preserve the super widescreen aspect ratio to get .dv files? Or will I need to edit in another format? And if so, any recommendations? In the Export as QuickTime window, the dropdown list of compressions is intimidating.
