Since QuickTime is compatible with both Windows (Windows XP and later) and Mac (Mac OS X Leopard and later) and very powerful, it is quite popular.
Although MP4's file structure is based on Apple’s QuickTime technology, its data embedded in this MPEG-4 Part 14 file, like MPEG-4 Part 10 (known as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC), MPEG-4 Part 2, etc, causes a codec problem which doesn't work well with Apple products. As a result, if you'd like to play MP4 on QuickTime, you’d better convert MP4 to MOV on Mac first because the MOV container is the default format of Mac OS X and performs optimum compatibility with QuickTime.To solve QuickTime won't play MP4 issue, a strongly recommended solution is to convert all kinds of MP4 videos and movies to QuickTime more compatible MOV formats.How to Convert Various Kinds of MP4 Files to QuickTime Formats?Works as a professional Video Converter, Pavtube Video Converter / Mac Version is your best choice, which can convert different kinds of MP4 videos and movies to QuickTime supported MOV, MP4 formats for playback, no matter the MP4 files are encoded with which kind of audio and video codecs.

Full HDTV, also referred to as ultra-HD, true HDTV, and 1080p, is a television (TV) display technology that surpasses the video quality and sharpness of the original high-definition television (HDTV) technology, providing an image resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The original HDTV technology offers vertical resolution that ranges from 720 lines with progressive scanning (720p) to 1080 lines with interlaced scanning (1080i). Full HDTV provides 1080 lines with progressive scanning (sometimes referred to as 1080p). In these specifications, the numeral indicates the number of horizontal lines in the complete raster, the p stands for progressive scanning (where each scan displays every line in the image raster sequentially from top to bottom), and the i stands for interlaced scanning (where each scan displays alternate lines in the image raster, and two complete scans are therefore required to display the entire image).Progressive scanning is considered superior to interlaced scanning for full-motion video displays, because there is less jitter, particularly for the portrayal of objects that move diagonally or vertically across the screen. The improvement is especially noticeable for fast-moving images, typical of television and DVD programs. Another advantage of progressive scanning is the fact that it is required for satisfactory video on TV sets that use micro displays, plasma displays, or liquid-crystal display (LCD) flat panels, all of which are becoming increasingly popular. The improved image quality afforded by full HDTV is well suited to the extra-large-screen displays used in home theater systems.The information you have got from above you still can’t decided which type TV should you buy? You still doubt with weather all the video can be played on the big screen HDTV?

Summary: In this article I will show the main different between fcp 7 and fcp x, and share you how to import and edit the video into fcp x for smoothly editing. Here we go.The main one you'll see is the way in which the Timeline is constructed and utilized. There are no longer "tracks" to edit on, such as A1 & A2, V1, etc. All clips go into what's called a "Primary Storyline", and secondary footage (b-roll) "connects" to those clips. This allows for connected clips to always move together, keeping you from going out of sync. The "magnetic timeline", as it's called also has the great feature of clips moving out of the way and onto another level when other clips are brought in contact with them. It saves steps and organizes clips together better.The other key feature I can point out here is the ability to organize clips in the Browser. You can choose favorite clips, mark pieces of clips with Keywords, mark sections of clips as unusable and a whole lot more. Then you can view clips in your Browser by selecting the categories you've created. In other words, any clip you gave a specific Keyword to can be pulled up instantly.The biggest difference is that FCP 7 uses the old video-and-audio-tracks interface, where the picture and sound signals have their own track in the timeline. FCP X combines them all into one "track" called a Storyline, though you can separate the audio tracks if you need to.In FCP 7 if you wanted to move a clip around along with any other clips sitting on top of it, you had to select them all and move them manually or use copy and paste. In FCP X, when you move a clip, any attached b-roll clips automatically move along with the primary one. This is incredibly helpful when you want to rearrange entire scenes. There has been no official word from Apple regarding an upcoming version of FCP, but there are many changes that pro users are wanting/anticipating:
- 64 bit
- Better Color and Motion Integration
- Native DSLR (H.264) and P2 compatibility
- Fix gamma issues between applications
- Better text tools
- Native 3D integration
- Better tracking tools
- Better stability for large project files
- Integration with After Effects (not likely)
- Scratch folders linked to project folders (smart updating)
- Optical flow slow motion
- Easier way to work with keyframes?
- Media manage elements across Pro Apps
- Better audio controls and filters (the current filter audio interface is archaic)
- Save scripts for presets, motion & effects
- Update Color's UI
I could write all day about other differences, but the ability to organize clips and then utilize them in an advanced Timeline are two big differences. Maybe in a future post I'll address more. In the next i would like to show you how to import and edit the video into fcp x for smoothly editing.As we all know that like other professional non-linear video editing program, Final Cut Pro also has its own native editing codec - Apple ProRes, which is specially designed for nonlinear editing and complex multi-generation composing in post production.
