thanks 4 helping
you guys are awesome!!!

Just try exporting it from quicktime, as a quicktime movie. Change it to DV PAL... once you see the options it should be self explanatory. You probably want it progressive as opposed to interlaced.

yeah i alrady did that but didnt work i think the hd footage is in native 16:9 with film bars

So you want the 16:9 hi def footage to become 4:3 CROPPED footage? If so:
-Nest the HD sequence into an SD sequence
-With the SD sequence active, in the canvas, enable image AND wireframe mode via the drop down menu
-Use the image size drop down to ensure the image is smaller than the grey "workspace"
-Find a corner handle and drag the image size (the nested sequence) until it fills the 4:3 frame and pan if necessary for framing
-Render

thx dude it works..!!!

I heard it gives not the same result as a real 50i or 60i original image?
A colleague therefore captures with a Decklink card outputting the Component from a JVC-HD200 to get the real result, as he doesn't find a proper workflow at the moment on the Mac.
