Handbrake and iPad 2 - image too stretched

Hello,
I am trying to convert some home-made DVD's (family etc) to video on the ipad.
I have ripped using DVD Decrypter, but whenever I use Handbrake too convert to ipad, the image is too squashed (larger black bars at top and bottom).
All I want it to do is take the original image and convert it into a file format for iPad. Can anyone help?
James

Thanks for help. I rip using DVD Decrypter first as I like to have the high quality VOB file for future use.
In Handbrake, I'm selecting iPad preset. Next to 'source' the resolution is 720x436 so I am unable to change it to 480, however when exporting using these settings for some reason the widescreen file is squashed ie bigger black bars than the original.
What should the anamorphic setting be?

  • ITunes12 deletes iPhone and iPad firmware image

    I´ve updated to recent iTunes 12 on my Mac with Lion 10.7.5 . I bought an used iPhone4s for my wife and i would like to use latest IOS 7 firmware which i had for my iPhone4s also. The "new" one came with 7.0.6 and I know I´ve downloaded 7.1.2 with iTunes on my Mac some month ago. Now i went to the ~/user/<Username>/Library/iTunes/iPhoneSoftwareUpdates folder and it´s empty - dammed ! But WHY ? I have not downloaded any newer image for my iPhone, so this won´t be the reason. Furthermore the iPadSoftwareUpdate folder is empty also.
    Two question:
    Who has lost *.ipsw (firmware) files too? Is it a iTunes12 "feature" ?
    When TimeMachine is configured (as in my case), why are those folders always not shown in TimeMachine backups?
    (I know how to display ~/Library folder in T M, but is not clear why it´s empty)
    So if anyone has the same strange behavior, and maybe has a solution i appreciate to hear about.
    Thanks in advance.
    Alex

    Note: I booted up in Safe mode. My devices connected. I restarted without Safe mode, and they now appear. Odd.

  • IPad Facebook images too large

    All the photos posted on my iPad Facebook newsfeed are magnified and cut off at the edges. I haven't been able to identify a solution.

    It's with the facebook app. Been that way since their update a few weeks ago.
    Right now I've been abandoning their app and just accessing the site via safari. You can get either the regular facebook app or the mobile site m.facebook.com
    there may also be third party facebooks apps out there that may work better.

  • I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??  Thanks

    I'm too old to learn iCal.  How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad?? 
    Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
    Thanks

    If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook.  Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

  • I have photos on my iPad (the first apple device in our household) and then added an iMac and a macbook air. How do I get all of my photos on all devices. Myoriginal iPad has images not on my 2 newer devices and my 2 new devices do not share the same phot

    I have photos on my iPad (the first apple device in our household) and then added an iMac and a Macbook air to our network. We have an airport 2TB back up device.  How do I get all of my photos on all devices. My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.

    My original iPad has images that my 2 newer devices do not have on iphoto.
    How are the images stored on your original iPad? Are they in the camera roll, in events downloaded using the camera connection kit, or are they in albums synced to your ipad from a computer?
    If the photos are in the camera roll or in events downloaded from a camera, you can transfer them to your iMac and MBA by directly connecting the iPad using USB. Then you can download the photos to iPhoto like from a camera.
    Only, if your photos have been synced to the iPad from a computer, you will have to save them first to the camera roll; then you can download them by connecting the iPad via USB.
    What IOS version has your iPad?
    For new photos you might consider using Photo Stream to transfer your photos between the devices.

  • My ipad does not appear in itunes. I am OS 10.6, itunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and ipad and switched usb sockets. Dont know if its related, but I can no longer see my sony handycam in imovies too.

    My brand new iPad 2 does not appear in iTunes. I am OS 10.6, iTunes is up to date, I have restarted computer and iPad and switched usb sockets. Don't know if its related, but I can no longer see my Sony Handycam in iMovies too.

    What content are you wanting to copy of the iPad ? You should be able to copy off anything that you've purchased from Apple (films, music, ibooks, apps etc) by connecting the iPad to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Transfer Purchases. If you want to copy off music copied from your own CDs or purchased from other sites then you will need to find a program for your computer that can copy them off – iTunes won't copy them off.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit or saved from emails/websites then you should be able to copy them off via the Windows camera wizard.
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
    Content in third-party apps (documents and files etc) then how you copy that content off will depend upon what the apps that they are in support e.g.either via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.

  • Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?

    Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
    Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
    I hope that will work.

    Haven't really used any of them including VLC - actually use netflix on the ipad more than anything. I was able to drop an mp4 into imovie on my ipad and see it there. This was something I had shot as avhcd and converted with turbo.264. Played fine. Probably not what you want for a movie player though.
    Well, turbo.264 is indeed very nice to have - even for converting full-sized movies. (Nevertheless, TechRadar's latest roundup (see http://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/6-of-the-best-video-converte rs-for-mac-1074303 ; also linked from another roundup at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/benchmark-excellent-multimedia-converter-handb rake-vs-commercial-apps ) has shown it's still worse than HandBrake in most respects.)
    All H.264 files (assuming they are H.264 level 4.1 or lower) are compatible with the built-in Videos app.

    Those of you who use other players, what do you reccomend? Just curious.
    It entirely depends on your needs. The top players (AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer, It's Playing, GoodPlayer) all have different strengths and weaknesses. I myself use It's Playing the most as I convert everything into MP4 and simply love the DSP's (brightness / volume / saturation boosting). (Its software decoders are definitely worse than those of AVPlayerHD / ProPlayer; however, MP4's are played back from hardware.)

  • HT1386 i have gone through several pc units over time and when i try to sync up my iphone and ipad to my new computer is says it can not sync because i have the devices registered on too many computers. How do i fix that?

    I have had several computers in recent years and when i try to sync my iphone and ipad to my new computer, it says it cant because the devices are registered on too many computers. I only need them synced up to two computers - how do i fix this?

    In iTunes, under the "Store" menu, you can select "Deauthorize this computer". That will remove that computer from your iTunes account and free up a spot for the new computer.
    If you have already sold or wiped your previous computers, you can log into your iTunes account from the Store menu in iTunes by selecting "View My Account xxxx@xxxx". Once you are logged in, about 1/4 the way down the page it will tell you that you have "xx computers are authorized......". Beside that you have the option to deauthorize all of the connected devices. That is the only option, you will have to deauthorize all and then set up the ones you want to use.
    I think 10 is the maximum number of devices that can sync to one iTunes account.

  • Is there some way to create a mirror image backup of iPhone and iPad ?

    Is there some way to create a mirror image backup of iPhone and iPad ? At this time our company has over 250 devices that are constantly being upgraded and passed down the line. it would speed things up considerably if there was a way to mirror the old device and then restore it on the new Phone or iPad. I don't care about any of the other features in iTunes, i just need something to speed up the process without having to walk them thru reintering their passwords, redownloadeing all the apps that didn't transfer ect.

    You would need to tell each user to make sure they backup their devices either thru itunes or icloud.
    With a company like yours, you should suggest backing up to icloud.
    IOS backup http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766  then when the user gets a new phone, you or they can just restore from their icloud.
    The only hard part would be if the user has music (non purchased from itunes) which they would need to sync to itunes to get back on their phone.
    there is no easy process for this.  I'm in the same boat as you but way fewer people to deal with.
