16:9 aspect ratio not "filling" TV screen

Hi,
I guess this has been asked before, but after a quick search I couldn't find a reference to this query.
Q. A movie recorded in 16:9 on dv camera and then edited in iM HD (letterboxed) and then the final edit burnt onto DVD does not fill the TV widescreen.
Is this normal or is there a way of solving this problem, other than using the zoom feature on the TV, of course?
Thanks,
TonyT

Hi Klaus,
Very many thanks for your advice.
This was the first time I'd shot a movie using the 16:9 option on the camcorder.
I've spent ages editing the movie using the wrong settings... is there a way of "converting" this or would I have to re-import and re-edit the whole footage back into iMovie & start over?
Thanks again,
Best!!
TonyT

Apple TV Apps Not Filling The Screen

When watching ANY app (Netflix, Watch ESPN, etc.) through my Apple TV 3, the video does not fill the screen. I have about 3 inches on the right and left of my video, even though the videos are in 1080p HD 16:9 aspect. I understand there are issues of mirroring, but this is happening while watching directly through the Apple TV. Is there a fix that I am missing?

It is not the TV, I assure you. It is a feature of the new software update, along with zero connectivity and other issues described in several other posts.
"I have all the same issues. Not enjoying the new update and hoping for a software solution soon. Restarting every piece of equipment and changing cables to direct hard wiring doesn't help on my setup, so... Hoping for the best. In fact, mine all say they can't connect to the internet even though every other device in our household is connected, either wirelessly or via hard wire, without issue.
I can't stream audio or video. It's awesome. But, I'm sure Apple will fix it. It's definitely a software bug to have so many people working fine and then WHAM...
There appear to be many others with the same issue on here. "

Tablet version is not filling the screen, any suggestions?

I created a tablet version of my site, pixel width 768 but it does not fill the screen on my tablet. Can you help me troubleshoot this issue?It is flush left and fills about 75% of screen. Also, I cannot center it, although my desktop site is centered.

Awesome! Thank you, yes I did have a box overhang on my master page. I have to wait until my friend comes over today with his tablet to test it but i am sure it will work fine.
I really appreciate your help!

When I'm playing music from my laptop on my Apple TV, I'd like to shrink the album on the screen so it's in the bottom corner, not filling the screen.

I don't believe that's possible. It will either fill the screen, or will show a thumbnail when the screensaver is on (disappearing after a few seconds)

PGC aspect ratio not supported

I am working on a complex DVD with many timelines. Some of which are .9 and some are 1.2 widescreen PAR. All files are SD and in DV AVI format. Everything has transcoded ok, but when I go and build the DVD I get a PGC aspect ratio not supported error. I have re-rendered the file in serveral formats from Premiere including the mpeg2DVD preset. Why won't encore build this DVD? What could be causing this? Thanks for any help.

I recall only 1 report of this particular error (pgc, par not supported). The user was MAC, CS4, but I don't think we saw much troubleshooting. Widescreen was at issue.
Can you describe the full, exact error message?
What is your OS?
What version of EN?
I think I would create the simple single timeline project you describe, using the widescreen assets from your current project one at a time (new project every time). All that makes sense to me is that you have some asset that is not complying.
I might also Gspot each of the assets, looking for something that is odd.

External display, image not filling entire screen.

I just bought a tv to use as a external monitor for my mac however when i boot into windows 7 the resolution (1080p) is fine but its not filling the screen completely, there is 1 inch of black on the top and bottom and about 1.5 inches of black on the left and right sides. it does not do this when i am booted into osx.
i think this could be because of how hdtv's are made and the resolution isn't exact (usually a little bit greater) so windows isn't "stretching" the image to fill the screen. i think osx does it automatically but windows doesn't. if this is the problem how do i get windows to stretch the image? i tried switching the screen mode on my tv's remote but that didn't work.
thanks for the help everybody and merry christmas!

exactly the same for me. fulla hd tv, no problem tv/mac ->full screen; but with bootcamp/win7 no way, even with the new 9.12 Ati driver...
thnks for help and happy new year

TS4085 the image does not fill entire screen of iPad, therefore not the entire TV screen. Why?

When I try to mirror a video from my iPad to TV using Apple TV, the video does not fill entire screen of iPad nor the entire screen of my TV, Is there a way to strech the image to fit screen(s)?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are two factors in play here. Firstly the iPad screen is 4:3, your TV is 16:9, so when mirroring the mirrored iPad screen is never going to fill the TV screen. If on top of that, whatever you are watching doesn't fill the iPad screen then that too will be reflected in what is seen in the mirrored image.
You cannot stretch this using the Apple TV or iPad controls, but your TV may have a setting you can use. Generally speaking though this will distort the image and you would likely be best leaving it alone.

How do I get SD video (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the entire screen?

Any 4:3 video I stream has black bars on either side of the picture. I have a Samsung HDTV, and I can stream content using its own pc to tv streaming software and 4:3 videos fill the entire screen. Or if I play a DVD with 4:3 aspect ratio that will also automatically fill the screen. With the Apple TV I cannot make it fill the entire screen. Is this something to do with the signal being transmitted over an HDMI cable?
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how have you resolved it?

I know it is displaying 4:3 video correctly, however I'd prefer if there was some stretching (non-linear) so that it fills the entire screen. Having 2 big black bars on either side gets very annoying. There doesnt seem to be an option to fill the entire screen when streaming from the apple tv. There are options when streaming from Samsung's own software (I don't want to use samsungs pc share manager as the apple tv's user interface is much better).
Are my options restricted because the signal is transmitted through an hdmi cable? Seems to be what other websites might be suggesting.

HT203782 older programming will not fill my screen! where is the aspect ajustment for this devise? roku

when watching older tv programing my tv screen does not fill up! where is the aspect ajustment? roku & netgear have them my tv screen fills up using them!

depend on the source I suppose if you play non widescreen media on a widescreen tv there is no magic way to make it display full screen unless you cut up top and buttom

Aspect ratio not working properly, and also, my final dvd has wierd ghosting

Hi,
I just can't seem to make a project work with encore. It's very touchy it seems. I have several videos that I tried to put together in a dvd, but I was having problems with the aspect ratio. Even when I used "Interpret Footage", the videos would incorrectly scale, most of the time to 4:3. At first they would look fine, but after transcoding, they would distort and sometimes be cropped on the 16:9 timeline I was using, or sometimes they would pop to 4:3 with black bars on the side.
It seems Encore NEVER gets what kind of video I'm using, even when I manually set the PAR in the Interpret Footage dialog.
So my solution was to bring everything into After Effects, render it back out as uncompressed AVI and use encore to make a dvd image which I then burned. My settings for this movie were 720x480 with a 1.2 PAR. The wierd thing is, I rendered two movies out in this way, Encore understood that one of them should be widescreen, but not the other. What gives?
I still had to do some tricks in Encore to get it to understand that these should be widescreen movies, and when I finally got them transcoded and looking right in my 16:9 timeline, I made an image. Then I burned it. Then I looked at it on a tv and I swear, every piece of text and or image had haloing on it.
Can someone tell me if this is a problem in my workflow? Encore is so confusing, I just want to know what the best method to making a simple dvd is. I don't want menus or any of that, just a dvd that loops. I can make one, but the quailty sucks. can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
Stan

I think I'm onto something. I exported form After Effects as an Mpeg2-DVD so I end up with
*.m2v files.
I had set those in AE to be 16:9 aspect and when I imported them into Encore they popped right into my 16:9 timeline with no problems. and the final build went way easier too, way faster.
Then I looked at my dvd on the tv and it still didn't look so great. But when I compared it with similar dvds that others had done, theirs had jagged edges on text as well and I thought, is this because I'm using Standard Definition?
I'm very new to this, so maybe I'm expecting too much. My images on the dvd play back fine on the TV, but the text doesn't look great.
Also, maybe I'm not sure how best to set up my video. When I play my movie back on the TV (A Samsung) and I select the pictures size of 4:3, my video is centered with black all around, but it's 16:9. I have to hit P Size two more times taking the TV first to 'widescreen' (which makes my image look stretched), then to zoom which makes my image fill the TV screen. I think some of my quality issues have to do with this scaling. Is there a way to make my dvd fit the full screen on 4:3 aspect on the TV?

Aspect ratio for old full screen games, advice sought on buying new monitor

Hi.
I'm thinking of buying a ThinkVision LT2252p to replace the old monitor my employer threw out because I've found the old one doesn't offer scaling of the aspect ratio meaning that my golden oldie full-screen-only PC games are all stretched out of shape to fit the entire monitor.
With the LT2252p, will a 1280 × 960 desktop (or a 1024 × 768 fullscreen game...) appear on the monitor with black bars at either side or with a black border all around? (I'm hoping that's what is meant by 'Same Aspect Ratio with input signal'.) Either way is good, just so long as a circle looks like a circle and not an oval.
If it's the case that I'm behind the times and the LT2252p is getting a bit long in the tooth, what would be a suitable alternative for a graphics card with VGA and DVI only?
Thanks very much,
Dave

I can hear the sound of the game, but am unable to see it or, as far as I know, interact with it
Literally using Xmonad for the first time and I experienced some game issues with fullscreen. Specifically when running CS:GO I had a problem where the resolution was native to my monitor (1920x1080) it was running windowed and I couldn't find a way to resize it unless moving it to a blank workspace (so other windows don't infere with the mouse hook) and your then able to drag the window by xmonad commands:
mod-button1
Set the window to floating mode and move by dragging
mod-button2
Raise the window to the top of the stack
mod-button3
Set the window to floating mode and resize by dragging

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe the linux native games on steam use the concept of '-windowed' by default.
