Movie doesn't fit on my TV

I am using iMovie 09 with a Canon HFS100 vid cam. Movies download fine, edited flawlessly with iMovie, and converted to iDVD. I burned the DVD. But when I play the disk on my home DVD player to a wide screen Sony HD 1080 TV it cuts off the edges of the video. I lose about a third or more of the image. When I play the DVD on the Mac though it looks fine, nothing is cropped off). What is wrong and how do I get this so I and my family can view the movie on a standard TV using a standard DVD player?

The suggestion to go to 4:3 does not solve the problem. I tried changing format to 4:3 ratio on imovie 09 and on iDVD. Still when I burn the DVD it cuts off the edges. I think I will have to be resigned to accept this as I have no solution. I may try to change the import settings on my next movie. One may need to select 4:3 at the time the movie is imported. That's all I can suggest. I have put way too much effort in editing my current projects to redo things now.

  • Movie doesn't fit on a disc

    Hi,
    I have a project set like this:
    - one mpeg 2 cbr (9000+384 bitrate), dvd compliant of 11 GB, that ancore, correctly, didnt transcode
    - about 4 mp3 songs
    - four photos
    - one dual layer dvd.
    Obviously 11 gigs couldnt fit on a single DL, so I trim mpeg file in the timeline, so that its size is about 7.7 Gig.
    Now, during production of iso image, Encore compliant about that size will be 18 (!!) gigs and suddendly it stops production because it has surpassed 9 gigs, that is the limit for one vts folder..
    What happen??
    Thanks.

    Check to see if you have added anything to the ROM folder in the project... used to add non-movie content... very common happening

  • My thunderbolt to firewire adapter doesn't fit the firewire???

    I bought the apple store "Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter" today.  I'm trying to put my old iMac in Target Mode and move old files.  The firewire cord doesn't fit into it???  I'm sitting here feeling pretty stupid and stumped?

    Your firewire cord is the wrong size.  Apple's cord is 800 port.  What size is your cord? 

  • Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...

    Hello.
    Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air).  No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
    Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
    Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
    I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success.  I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success.  Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me.  I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Yeah, no results. Still the same.
    If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,.

  • Bizarre-Screenview suddenly larger than display, doesn't fit

    I was working in FCPX, I thot I'd hit control+V, when suddenly the screenview is magnified and doesn't fit on my MBPro's display. By moving the cursor to the edges I can make the screenview move to the edges and see everything but why is it suddenly magnified. I tried using fn+F keys to see if I'd hit something by mistake but can't figure it out. ***! So bizarre. Any ideas?

    Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

  • Text Doesn't fit warning

    I'm getting ready to order a book and am getting a message that the text doesn't fit. I can't find the page where the problem exists (no warning icon is visible) and when I did preview the page(s) were not revealed. Is there a way to find the offending text?

    It might be just returns that are doing it. You'll have to go to each text box, move the cursor to the bottom of the text with the down arrow key and then use the Delete key until you delete the last character, which you can then replace.
    As you experienced the text box with overflowing text will display a red warning triangle like this:

  • Page moves offscreen to fit long URLs.

    When Mouse-over extra long URLs web page moves offscreen to fit. Below is a search result, mouse-over Barracuda Email Archiver.
    [http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&sugexp=ldymls&pq=message%20board%20archives&xhr=t&q=Archive+Message+Board&cp=8&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=webhp&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=Archive+Message+Board+&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.&fp=d39fe4b59c3fd5aa Mouse-over Barracuda Email Archiver]

    This doesn't work. If I use the URL you suggest I
    get the first web page I created. The long URL gets
    to the correct web page.
    As mentioned by the other poster there are several options. One is you could try resending your old url with brackets around it. This might prevent the receivers from botching the copy/paste if it is getting split by their mail program. Also it can be shorter.
    <http://web.mac.com/jhauser/iWeb/Slide%20show%20Santa%20Barbara>
    You might want to shorten the page name to sssb or something. You don't seem to have it linked to anything, so it's not appearing in the navigation bar and doesn't matter. You could include it in the navigation bar of your main site so it is just a mouse click away from the url that ends in /iWeb. You could move it under a second site, with a short name, like 2, and then you can use the url ending in /iWeb/2.

  • Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter doesn't fit my aluminum iMac

    I previously had a 17" white iMac (pre-Intel) machine, and about 6 months ago I bought the mini-DVI to video adapter so I could connect it to my television. Worked like a charm. But I recently bought a new aluminum iMac, and the adaptor doesn't fit into the mini-DVI port in the back of the machine. It appears the adaptor and port are both male ends.
    Has the port changed on the aluminum iMacs? The product description for the adaptor on Apple's website says it works with iMac (Intel Core Duo). Isn't the aluminum iMac an Intel Core Duo? I can't figure out why it doesn't fit and which cable I'm supposed to be using instead.
    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Hi Paul
    Yes the Intel iMac [Spec's|http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacMid2007.html] call for the (M9319G/A) Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter!

  • Mini Display to VGA adapter doesn't fit

    I have an older(2008) MacBook and the MIni display to VGA adapter I purchased doesn't fit my book. Is there one that I can buy that will fit?

    The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 model 6,1 and Mid 2010 model 7,1 White Unibody have a Mini DisplayPort. The Early 2006 model 1,1 through Early 2008 model 4,1s plus the Early and Mid 2009 model 5,2s have Mini-DVI ports.

  • Long text doesn't fit the window exactly

    Hi friends,
    in PO smartforms i have included the header text of PO.
    the problem is the long text doesn't fit to the window exactly i.e.,
    when we enter the text in PO in the header a line can contain only 60 characters approximately where as in my smartforms it can contain more than that.
    so in the display of smart form i get lot of space in the right side and i get the remaining part of text in the next line.
    regards,
    Saravan raj

    hi,
    what u have told is correct but we can't expect the end user to do it each time when they paste the long text.
    is there any option to bring it by default.
    regards,

  • HT204291 When I airplay my ipad, it doesn't fit the tv screen

    I have ipad air and using toshiba tv. When I mirror the image to the tv screen, it doesn't "fit to screen". Are other people having this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • Battery failure although my battery doesn't fit the exchange program?

    hello there!
    i know there have been a lot of threads about the battery life and failures in the macbook pro but i don't know which one fits my case...
    my mbp is a week 13 and has no problems at all. i don't use the battery that often - by now i have 14 cycles.
    my battery's serial number doesn't fit the exchange program but today happened this odd thing:
    i used my mbp on battery for less than two hours and the battery symbol said that i still have about 50 minutes of battery power. all of a sudden it turned off (as described in many other threads) without any warning and i couldn't turn it on without plugging in the power cable. when i turned it on it started from deep sleep mode (dimmed desktop).
    ...of course i did reset the pram and stuff - but what is going on? as i said i don't meet the exchange program for faulty batteries but still it doesn't seem to work proper.
    what can i do?
    thanks in advance, guys!
    j.

    hi and thank you all for your replies so far!
    over the weekend i took some screenshots showing the various total of mAh. i have no idea if that is normal like this? and the battery is behaving normal again, no random shutdown... you can find the images under the following link...
    http://www.propaganda-pixel.de/mbp/mbp.htm
    in addition i added a photo of my magsafe... now that it comes to the battery issue i got slightly concerned if this crimpy cord should be like this (not that this thing starts to melt on me!).
    when i transport my mbp i wind the cord around those two hooks and i never pull the magsyfe by the cord out. but still it looks like this.
    the power cord is from a week 10 macbook pro which i got exchanged for a week 13 but i had to keep the cord...
    i know, this has nothing to do with the battery issue and no, i'm not paranoid - just now that i started this thread i thought i could add it...
    so my questions are:
    - shall i request a new battery considering the various mAh indications?
    - shall i request a new power cord? or does mine look normal?
    why i ask is because i don't want to request something when there is no need for a replacement.
    thank you all!

  • My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad.

    My Olympic camera SD card doesn't fit into the SD card camera reader. Apple advised me to purchase the product in order to import photos to my IPad. How do I over ride this problem. How do I import photos from an Olympus FE-340 directly to my IPad?

    Your camera uses an OLympic XD picture card http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-xD-Picture-Memory-202332-package/dp/B002LC2DQ4/ref =pd_sim_sbs_p_1 This card has different dimensions compared to an SD card.
    You should be able to plug the cable that came with your camera into the camera connection kit to import the pics.
