Quicktime Swapping Video Height and Width

I have a video with a resolution of 1280X720, and i have confirmed the videos resolution in its properties.  Opening the video in windows media player shows a widescreen type film, with the width of 1280 and height of 720.
When I open the video in Quicktime, it takes the width of 1280, and makes it the height, and does the same with the width.  Essentially, it swaps the width and height values, so the resulting video is stretched vertically and compressed horizontally.
I have tried uninstalling and installing quick time, to no avail. 
More details:
The video was created with a video maker app that comes standard on the galaxy s2.  Other videos shot with my phone, with this resolution play fine in quicktime.  It is only videos rendered from the video maker app.
Its highly annoying because I would like to send videos to my friends, which I make, but I do not want to have to tell them to use windows media player, or to hold shift to adjust the frame of the video.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks!

Any ideas how to fix this?
That depends on what is wrong with the file. It would really help to see what the QT "Inspector" has to say about the file. For instance, this would let us know what matrix was used to encode the file, whether or not it was anamorphically encoded, and whether or not someone has modified the playback dimensions embedded in the file.
It sounds as if the file may be anamorphic, playing back correctly in applications which use the PAR value to display the file at the correct aspect ratio while other applications that use the "Current Size" values embedded in the file are displaying the video incorrectly because the values were modified or not set correctly during the encoding operation. In this case, the normal procedure would be to correct the display dimension usin QT 7 Pro which does not require recompressing the data.

  • Force HTML5 Video 100% Height and Width ?

    So stage is 100% height and width
    the video div is also a 100% height and width
    However the background video had spaces to the left and right where it isn't filling the div is there away around this to force it to fit a 100% width and height always leaving no gaps?

    Hi there,
    You mean stretch the aspect ratio of a video element to whatever size the container is? No, the video will resize to fit in the browser while still retaining its aspect ratio - this is actually desirable in most cases.
    It is possible to do what you want using the object-fit css property, but it's currently only supported in the latest versions of Chrome and Opera browsers:

  • Dynamically read height and width dimensions of .mov

    Hi there!
    I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to dynamically get the height and width dimensions of a quicktime movie, before streaming it?
    The circumstances are this. I have clients who upload quicktime movies to my server. Right now, I use code to embed movies in a fixed size page, but the movies can vary quite dramatically in terms of their dimensions. For example, if the movie is 400px wide, it looks fine in my page. However, if it is 800px wide, it extends out beyond the borders of my page and looks terrible. I could just make a huuge page, but then the tiny movies look ridiculous
    If I could somehow gets the dimensions of a movie before it starts streaming, i could create a large target page for larger movies, and a small target page for small movies. Basically it comes down to being able to somehow dynamically read the dimenions of the movie.
    Is this even possible? Like my boss keeps telling me, it's all just Math isn't it?
    Thanks!!!

    Hmmm...
    I think the movie dimensions are exposed to JavaScript, but only after the movie has opened. So you would have to load the movie into the plugin, then get the dimensions, then use JavaScript to rewrite the page. Which I don't think is quite what you had in mind; you're wanting to collect this information and deal with it before you write the page.
    Let me see if I have this straight...You are allowing clients to upload movies to your server, and then you're hoping to generate an embedded movie page on the fly in PHP to display the movie just uploaded, correct?
    For a library of movies, you could generate a small database of all the movie dimensions, then just look that data up in the table when you generate the page. The trouble is, I don't know of any way to get the movie dimensions except to get them from QuickTime, and to do that you have to load the movie into either the player or the plugin. You could, for instance, have an AppleScript that looks at each movie and populates the database, but I don't see how you could trigger that to run on upload, and I don't know what kind of server you're using.
    Now here's an idea...If you have some way of arbitrarily reading and parsing the QuickTime file, you can get the dimensions out of the file, but it isn't easy. If you are lucky, the moov atom will include a prfl atom (movie profile) which includes the video dimensions. But the prfl atom is not mandatory, which means you have to look at each trak atom that contains video and examine the size *and position* and accommodate the fact that you may have multiple, overlapping video tracks. But you could get the data by parsing the QT atoms yourself. All the data you need to do that is here:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/QTFF/QTFFPreface/chapter1_section1.html
    ...and may God have mercy on your soul!
    Seriously, though, you CAN parse a QT file, and that might be the best (though obviously not the easiest!) way to get the data you want dynamically. QuickTime does help you out by giving you all the offsets for all the atoms, but it can be tricky!

  • Height and Width:

    Hi, I keep trying to increase the height and width of my quicktime video but nothing happens - please view an example page here:
    http://petsitterbible.com/movies/avoidonstreet.shtml
    and the code I used is: <embed src="http://downtownpets.com/sitstays_bytraffic.mov" width="500" height="340"></embed>
    Any ideas? thank you!

    The movie is 16:9.
    You can export the movie in iMovie to 480x272, the next larger size. With the controller is 272 + 16 = 286.
    That's within the range of your current display size 500x340.
    I use iMovie, Picasa Movie Maker and QuickTime Pro & X to create movies. Have a look :

  • Dynamically changing the height and width of Stage

    Hi,
              I would like to know how can I change the height and width of stage dynamically. I tried it with the following code:
                             Stage.height = 250;
                             Stage.width = 250;
    during the run time. Initially the Stage is at a height and width of 370 and 450 respectively. Also when I tried to trace the height and width of Stage after resizing the stage width and height, its showing the old value of width and height. That means the width and height not chnaging. Anybody have any idea about this.

    Hi Ross,
                I could understand something about the problem after making a research on this topic. We can't change the width and height of stage from actionscript itself, right? I will explain the way I am planning to do. I don't know whether its right or not. Anyway you just go through it. First the player need to be resized, according to the specified height and width. Then in the object tag, there are two fields named height and width. We should change these value according to the specified height and width of video controller, dynamically. Am I right? But I am confused with two properties of Stage such as: align and scaleMode. The code was actually developed my trainer. There, the scaleMode is set to "noScale" and no align property is used. My doubt is how should I set align and scaleMode properties of Stage. Hope you understood what I meant.

  • Measuring a letter (actual height and width)

    Hello,
    I would like to know if there is a way to measure the height and width of a letter (green line) without creating outlines, that is, maintaining it as text and not turning it into a path. I'm not interested on the height usually displayed (blue line). I'm aware that I could make a copy, measure and delete it later. But for my specific case this does not help.
    Warm Regards,

    I don't have a Twitter account. I've aways assumed that whatever they are, they must be intended for twits. ;-)
    Nor a Facebook account 'cause if I wanted my mugshot somewhere, I'd commit a crime. Nor do I post videos on YouTube. If I wanted to do that, I'd put them on MeTube.
    I guess I'm just not a "social media" kind of guy. But there's a vintage motocross race in Elko today; if you must, you can probably find me there this afternoon.
    I'm aware that I could make a copy, measure and delete it later. But for my specific case this does not help. 
    The script Jacob refers to was written to enable one to change existing type to a particular capheight (based on the capital M of the font used), not to tell you the height of a given character. Plus, it does work by converting text to paths. That's the only way you're going to get a measure of the glyphs. And it dosen't measure width.
    Type has no absolute measure. There is no "height of an E" until you set it to some height. So I can't tell what you are trying to achieve if it disallows setting the type (or a copy of it), converting it to paths, and then getting its measures--which you could automate with a macro (Action), without having to resort to scripting.
    You're not likelly to get help from an AI Javascripter if you're not willing to explain exactly what you are trying to do. Script writing is too tedious and time-consuming to do as a favor just based on a guess at what the actual desired functionality is.

  • Can I turn off the setting that displays the height and width in a little black box when using the marquee tool?

    In Photoshop CC, on a mac...
    When using the marquee selection tool, a little black box pops up next to the curser and displays in real time, the height and width of the selection.  The same annoying box also appears when dragging an item with the move tool, displaying the numerical location of the cursor.  Is there anyway to turn off the display of that little black box?  It is driving me bonkers.

    Not all controls can be sized this way. For example to change the vertical size of a simple numeric, you would need to change the font size.

  • Dynamically size movieclip to fit text's string height and width

    Hello,
    I am trying to dynamically size a movieclip to fit the size of a text's string height and width (This text is inside the movieclip)
    here is my code so far..
    var Font1_ = new Font1();
    var Format2:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
    Format2.size = 36;
    Format2.align = TextFormatAlign.CENTER;
    Format2.font = Font1_.fontName;
    var MessageBox:MovieClip = new MessageBoxMC();
    MessageBox.Text1.defaultTextFormat = Format2;
    MessageBox.Text1.embedFonts = true;
    MessageBox.Text1.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
    MessageBox.Text1.wordWrap = true;
    MessageBox.Text1.width = 800;
    MessageBox.Text1.height = 400;
    MessageBox.Text1.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
    MessageBox.Text1.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    MessageBox.Text1.mouseEnabled = false;
    MessageBox.Text1.text = String("Use the Arrow Buttons to move");

      MessageBox.x = 400;
      MessageBox.y = 200;
      addChild(MessageBox);
    this isn't working for me.. anyone know the best way to do this?
    I also want the text to be centered in the movieclip, with a border of around 2-4 pixels
    I am also not sure if i should be using text.length? any advice and input is greatly welcomed.
    thanks in advance!

    Essentially, you need to check for a change in .textWidth or .textHeight, which are different from .width and .height.
    This code works for me (assumes a background box called bg and a foreground text instance fg inside a moveclip and an X and Y bounds offset variable to say how far away you want the box from the text and a textFrameNudge to provide a tweak value).
         // Resize background box
         thisBox.bg.x = thisBox.fg.x - boundsOffsetX + textFrameNudge; // I'm using .4 as the tweak value for textFrameNudge
         thisBox.bg.y = thisBox.fg.y - boundsOffsetY;
         thisBox.bg.width = thisBox.fg.textWidth + boundsOffsetX*2 +textFrameNudge*thisBox.fg.getTextFormat().size;
         thisBox.bg.height = thisBox.fg.textHeight + boundsOffsetY*2;

  • How to resize and maintain height and width ratio IR image column

    Hello, I am upgrading from 3.2 to 4.1 reports that include images in report columns. I have had good success with this except for one thing. If the height and width is fixed it distorts the photos, and if I do not have fixed dimensions the image may be too large depending on the original dimensions of the :P1_PHOTO item which is File Browse... BLOB column. I do not want to restrict users ability to upload large image files, or files with different dimensions, but I want them to display as a thumbnail size proportional to the original dimensions in the report, or maybe I need a different approach? Report region template is No Template. I appreciate any suggestions.
    select decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(photo),0),0,null,'<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P1_PHOTO',id)||'" height="75" width="75"/>') photo from table.
    I tried using percent i.e.: width="10%" that does not work.
    I have tried several variations of <style> in page HTML header to change column width, but the image size does not change.
    <style>
    td[headers="PHOTO"] {
    width:75px;
    </style>
    <style>
    #apexir_PHOTO{width: 75px;}
    </style>
    Thanks.

    Try to go with max-width / max-height. However, if you have IE browser, hang on for pain. For some ideas, some links:
    http://wordpress.mfields.org/2011/scaling-images-in-ie8-with-css-max-width/ (ignore object-fit, it is not yet supported on most browser)
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3915219/max-width-on-img-tag-not-working-in-ie8
    etc. Be sure to try out your chosen solution on the target browser(s)!
    IE is just nasty :(
    What i have done before is not to have my browser scale my images, especially when the images can be large(r) and you expect quite some traffic. All those extra (kilo)bytes won't help it load faster. I just added an extra column in the table, like photo_thumb, and create a scaled version of the uploaded picture when it is being inserted.

          WHERE name = :P3_FIND_PHOTO;
          IF lower(v_mime_type) NOT IN ('image/jpg', 'image/jpeg') THEN
             raise_application_error(-20001, 'File for upload is not a jpg!');
          END IF;
          -- Rezise the photo so that it is proportionally 125*125
          -- ordimage is an oracle type able to manipulate all sorts of pictures
          ordimage.process(v_small_photo, 'maxScale=125 125');
          -- If contact is of type personnel, then no need to store
          -- a large photo since it wont be displayed
          IF :P3_CONTACT_TYPE_ID = 2 THEN
            v_large_photo := NULL;
          END IF;

          IF :P3_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
             DELETE FROM apxt_contacts_img

    Hi Mainak,
    have a look to Thread:
    Popup Sizing
    As you can see there is not yet a way to set the Popup size.
    You have to find the good combination of fields and length in order to get a nice UI.
    The WDA engine try to set the best size, help it...
