DVI to S-Video not full screen!

I recently bought an Apple DVI to S-Video adapter and hooked it up to my 60" Hitachi 60SDX88AB rear projection TV. The picture looks fine, colorwise and all, but the picture does not take up the whole screen- there are 2 inch black bars on 3 sides of the screen. I played with it for an hour with no avail- changing the resolution only changed the aspect ratio within that same area, and checking "overscan" under Display Preferences made the picture take up more than the whole screen, cutting off, again, a couple inches on all sides.
I switched this setup to my 20" LCD TV in my bedroom thinking it may just be the monitor, but the same thing occurred, this time with bars on all 4 sides of the screen. How can I fix this?

No, unfortunately it doesn't. My only options with this older model are s-video, composite, and component. I don't have a DVI to component converter, and hooking it up with composite gives me the same issues.

    The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
    Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.

  • Lenovo 24 inch touch screen not full screen with 1920x1080 selected (L2461xwA)

    I have the L2461xwA Lenovo Widescreen Touchscreen display. When I set the resolution to 1680x1050, it is full screen as expected. When I set the resolution to 1920x1080, which is the native resolution, it is NOT full screen. There is about a 1 inch black border on the left and right sides and about a 3/4 inch border on the top and bottom when in 1920x1080 resolution. How do I make it full screen?
    (I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and have installed all of the drivers. The touch functionality and camera are working great)
    Thanks
    Solved!

    Nevermind. I resolved it. When I switched DVI ports on my video card, it worked.

  • In IO7 how can I view my music videos in full screen?

    Downloaded IO7 onto my 4S and now I cannot view my music videos in full screen. Why would I pay $3.39 for a music video from the iTunes store when I can't view the videos in full screen. The video player does it but you can't create playlists, repeat etc so that is not an option.

    I do not understand what you want to do.  Please rephrase the question.

  • Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
    It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play.  That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
    How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

    I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app.  It should work just fine, it does work ok for me  on iphone 5.  The original question was to play music videos in the music app.  Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
    The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not.  I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found.  There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before. 
    The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play.  There is simply no way to categorize or group videos.  The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple.  It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
    You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos.  And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist.  Actually it is getting worse.  Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area. 
    Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
    What is happening here???  

  • How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

    How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?  Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
    Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

    ive tried playing the video on my mac but it just blackens the monitor
    What do you mean by the adaptor - i have what ever software etc that came with the mac...and then from apple i bought the mini display port to VGA adaptor...the monitor is a new LG W2261 Full HD...currently i am connect via the blue VGA cable
    it works if im playing games full screen...i just have to move the menu bar in the arrangement option...but it doesnt work for videos

  • How do I stop the taskbar from showing when I watch a video on full screen?

    When I watch a video with Mozilla Firefox on sites like YouTube, Google Video or Bing Video in full screen the taskbar shows at the bottom of my screen and doesn't disappear like it does in Internet Explorer. How do I watch videos in full screen without the taskbar showing? It's not a website problem, it's not a Windows problem, it only does this on Mozilla Firefox's browser. All three websites play perfect full screen video on the Internet Explorer browser with no taskbar showing at the bottom..

    I got it :)
    (I tried using Google Chrome but the same problem occurred, by the way).
    a) Right-click on the desktop area, click on "Personalize" then on "Display" (bottom left), "Set custom text size (DPI)" (left) and check "Use windows xp style DPI scaling".
    or
    b) Right-click on the desktop area, click on "Personalize" and change the Windows 7 Aero theme to Windows 7 Basic or a High Contrast theme.

  • QT video in Full Screen mode

    Dear friends, my web www.aproduction.com.ua
    1. How I can play QT video in Full Screen mode (MAC & PC)?
    2. How I can set some attention info for visitors that I use QT video and for playback they should click on video & press space. Some popup or what you reccomend me?
    Thank you in advance!

    Your troubles are caused by the file dimensions used in your html page code. The QuickTime file is 640X480 and your page code uses 533X381.
    The QuickTime controller (your page code shows 'true') requires an extra 16 pixels be added to the actual file dimensions. Your page code dimensions should be 640X496. The controller would now appear in your Web page. Changing the code to autoplay (not autostart) is the required tag and the value would be 'true' (your current code uses 'false').
    Full screen playback can only be achieved via the QuickTime Player application. To do this you need a few more "special" tags in your html file code.
    You need a "target" tag and a linked file (uses the href tag). The 'target' ='quicktimeplayer' would launch the QuickTime Player when your "poster" movie is clicked. One of my pages as an example:

  • I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after downloading the latest version of flash. HELP

    I cannot open youtube videos to full screen after updateding flash to the latest version (11. something) HELP! youtube says it is adobe's problem

    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Operating   system  
    Browser  
    Flash   Player version
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

  • Premier Elements 11 screen refresh when window not full screen

    Hi,
    Have following spec pc:
    Pentium 4 3.6Ghz 2Gb Ram with NVidia GTS450 latest display drivers and windows XP service pack 3.
    When running Premier elements in not full screen mode moving the window leaves window trails behind and screen does not refresh. In full screen things are ok?.
    What can be causing this and is there anything that can be done to resolve this apart from upgrading my pc etc.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I have the same, or very similar GUI display issues with PrE 11 on an older laptop, running XP-Pro SP3 and an nVidia GeForce 8800M GTX w/ 512MB VRAM. Unfortunately, for that chip and on XP-Pro, the latest video driver is from back in 2011 (IIRC), and no new one in sight.
    I feel that the only solution will be to update the OS to Win7 (allowing a newer video driver from nVidia), or replacement of the laptop (which I am doing).
    PrE 4.0, PrPro CS 2, AE CS 2, and other, older Adobe programs, all work perfectly, but PrE 11 has display issues. To me, this means that the newer version's GUI interfaces more closely with the video driver, than the other programs.
    Even for a company, like nVidia, the XP OS route is now a deadend.
    Sorry for the bad news, but know that you are not alone.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Macbook air video flickers full screen Mavericks

    After upgrading to Mavericks I notice that the video flickers and the black bar at the top moves up and down when watching videos in full screen ; an example is the Jony Ive iPad air video or an iTunes movie.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    I specifically said - "Thats not to say there isnt a single unit with a GPU/ monitor issue."
    I have the new Air, thanks for asking. Have had roughly 20+ new 2013 Air thru my hands;...videos play fine on same.
    Contact Apple and make an appt. if your specific Air is experiencing an issue.
    Your warranty entitles you to fast service and resolution of any issue you make have with your Air notebook.
    Peace

  • IPhoto 6 slideshows not full screen!!!

    First of all, as this problem has not changed since iPhoto 5.02 on OS X 10.3.9, let me provide you with some background...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1425902&#1425902
    Now, let me detail the problem again. I have a Mac Mini 1.25 Ghz with 512 MB RAM connected to a 20" Apple Cinema Display (aluminum) running at its native resolution of 1680 x 1050. Prior to iPhoto version 5.02, if I watched a slideshow, either by clicking the "Play" button on an album or creating a full fledged slideshow, the pictures in the slideshow would be fit to the width of my display and then cropped on the top and bottom so that the picture would fill all the real-estate on my display. I believe this may have only been the case when viewing with Ken Burns effect enabled... in any case it was exactly the way that I wanted it to work. After updating to iPhoto 5.02 and on every subsequent version of iPhoto all the way unitl iPhoto 6, this is not the behavior. Now, black bars are inserted on the left and right of my display and the photo is displayed in a box in the center that fills the height of the display and is approximately 4:3 in aspect ratio. No combination of settings for the automatic ken burns effect, scale pictures to fit screen, or slideshow format settings have yeided a result that fills the entire screen... most make it look worse. The only thing that seems to help is lowering the resolution of the display from the native of 1680 x 1050 to 1024 x 768 or something similar. Obviously this deteriorates the quality of the images.
    Apparently, this was a design decision made by apple...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301667
    First of all, it makes no sense to me that iPhoto should decide my computer isn't capable of displaying full screen slideshows when it was perfectly capable of doing so prior to iPhoto 5.02. Secondly, the proposed work around is ridiculous. The amount of time and effort needed to produce a QT movie for each slideshow you want to show full screen greatly reduces the functionality of the otherwise awesome slideshow features... not to mention it greatly reduces the quality of the slideshow.
    I am posting to again make it known that this is still an issue for many users in the latest version of iPhoto. People still want it fixed. And many people with affected computers might not even know that iPhoto is supposed to display full screen slideshows if you want them.
    Now, I apologize in advance for the bold I'm about to use, but this is the most important part of this post and I hope someone at Apple reads it...
    Make an option in iPhoto to enable full screen slideshows even on computers that the program deems incapable!
    That way users can accept your automatic determination of this capability, or they can judge for themselves whether or not full screen slideshows are worth a "potential" degradation in performance. You can even worn them once when they enable the option that it may cause decreased performance on their hardware. That way they'll know you tried.
    Ok, there... now that that is out of my system, does anyone else have any ideas or would like to add something?
    Mac Mini 1.25 Ghz G4, 512 MB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I take a lot of pictures with 2-3 digital cameras (as a hobby). I use my old 400MHz G4 TiBook as my picture bank when I travel. I got very frustrated when I realized that the screen resolution is set to 800*600 when you do a slideshow in iPhoto, and there is no way to change that.
    This is especially bothering when the pictures are taken with my DSLR, but looking at pictures from a 5 MB camera on a 0,5 MB resolution screen is a drag in any case.
    I think that I have found a solution to this, however. It would be nice if someone else could try to verify my results. Very simple:
    - Close iPhoto and get a plist editor (I used PlistEdit Pro which I found in Macupdate).
    - With the editor, open the iPhoto preferences file: /Users/Your_Userame/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    - There's a property called SlideshowFixedScreenRes close close to the end of the file. Change it's value from NO to YES and save the plist file. Relaunch iPhoto.
    This worked very well with the TiBook. Your mileage may vary, though. If you find that it works for you, please let the others know.
    If this preference property really is the legitimate place for setting this, it makes me wonder why Apple is so arrogant that they don't give us a switch somewhere for this.
    NOTE: If you try this the risk is yours. I don't think that the risk in this case is very severe however - if you throw the iPhoto plist file in the Trash it will be rebuilt when you relaunch iPhoto.

  • HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

    Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

    I am also having this issue.
    I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
    I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
    I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
    If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!
