Super 35 - to - digiBeta - to which Quicktime settings?

Hey guys ...

I've got some footage that I need to export from FCP (6.0.1) as a QT file. I'm not quite sure what my settings should be. I've tried a few including a custom, but all exports are slightly-to-very stretched (width-wise).

I started with:
- super 35 film,
- had it converted to digibeta,
- and then had digibeta converted to uncompressed 8-bit Quicktime.

The Quicktime file's info is:
- 720x486
- 29.97 fps
- Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2

Any ideas what the ideal export settings should be for QT file?

Thanks in advance...

Well, All three actually. But I'm going to assume that there are very similar setting (meaning size / type) for each. For example, I'm editing in a sequence that has the following settings:

FS - 720 x 486 [matches Quicktime file]
AR - CCIR 601 NTSC 40:27
PAR: NTSC601 / DV 720 x 480 (no 486 option)
Edit timebase: 29.97
Compressor: Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2

So I would expect to see these "types" of options available to me when I export anything. But when I look, for example, in the settings drop down for "Export as a Quicktime movie, I don't see anything that "fits" my 720x486 based file.

I tried a few options that seemed similar to my file (e.g., "Uncompressed 8-bit", "720x480" etc., but all exports so far have produced stretched images.

Kind of a mystery to me... any ideas?
