I recently noted the aspect ratio of some HD content is not right. I've had quicktime 1080P trailers playback in 4:3 in quicktime while they really were widescreen...
Check the presentation settings. (Show Movie Properties > Presentation tab > uncheck "conform aperture to".
For some movie files (seems to always be NTSC D1 comps rendered out of After Effects), QuickTime will resize the movie from 720x480 to 640x480 because it's assuming the movie has non-square (0.9) pixels for broadcast.

Thanks for the help, but I can't seem to find the Movie Properties or presentation tab? You're talking about quicktime right? Anyway, it might be the file after all, I downloaded it as being 1080p but VLC and quicktime both say it's 1440 by 1080. I thought 1080p always means 1920 by 1080??

1080p technically only refers to the vertical lines so it's quite possible, though uncommon, for the horizontal resolution to be different.

Yeah, that's in QuickTime (It shouldn't matter if it's Pro or not... I don't think). You can get it with command-J. You can also check the Movie Info window (command-I) for the Normal and Current sizes, if the aperture is affecting it, the current and normal sizes will not match up.

That's not quite right. 1080 lines of vertical resolution = 1080 horizontal lines.
Correct. For example, most movies are filmed either at 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 aspect ratios, which would give the different number of vertical lines. I've never heard of an HD 1.33:1 video, but maybe someone would prove me wrong.
I don't think it's a problem per se, but are you sure yours doesn't have this also? It is not super noticeable, just a very thin black diagonal line that divides the artwork in full screen coverflow mode..
hey...i have a power mac g4 running osx 10.4.9 ...i just purchased a new gateway 22 monitor and i get those black diagonal lines in cover flow when in full screen...my apple 17 studio display does not have these lines...not sure what it could be...i was just about to return the monitor when i came across this post...anybody with any ideas...

That's not quite right. 1080 lines of vertical resolution = 1080 horizontal lines.

You knew what I meant.
I corrected my post.
Only by half
