16:9,  Black border all the way around the video.

Using a Canon GL2 video camera I shot a short video in anamorphic 16:9. I then imported it into FCP, in the same format. Exported it and brought it into DVDSP in 16:9.
Everything looked great on my 4:3 TV. It looked like it letterboxed just fine and would project on an HD TV just fine. However, once it opened up on screen it only covered about 95% of the screen. There was a black border all the way around the video.
Anyone have an explanation for this. Better yet, a solution to correct this problem.
Thanks
Kyle

If you had got the settings wrong I would expect there to be large borders down the sides, as if you were watching a 4:3 channel on a 16:9 TV that is not set to zoom the image. I don't think you would describe that as 95%.
When you say open up on screen, do you mean on a computer, or on a projection screen? In either case you see the whole image, including the stuff beyond action safe, which you probably wouldn't see on a 4:3 TV or a 16:9 HDTV. Many cameras only fill 702 of the 720 pixels. If you look at the original DV file from the camera, does it fill the full width of the 720 wide image space, or does it have thin black broders?

  • DVD Player Black Border all aound widescreen image....???

    I have a new 17" powerbook running Tiger...and have been playing some DVDs...and the DVD player now puts a 1 1/2" black border all around the widescreen image. This is new to me and I've tried all of the obvious preference options...and switching between different screen sizes (command-0, command-1 and command-2....) and no success.
    Has anyone else had this same problem? Any solutions?
    Thanks.

    This is not a problem, that's a specific configuration of some DVDs, it happens beucause some DVDs to fit in a 4:3 (fullscreen) TVs put the black borders on the top and botton. When you try to view these movies in a widescreen there will be black borders on the right and left because the format with the original top and botton border is 640 x480 (4:3).
    To fix that you just have to select the Otion "Video Zoom" from the Apple DVD Player menu "Window":
    There you can strech the movie the way you like to fill your widescreen.

  • When using safari, my screen will suddenly scroll all the way to the bottom and will not resound to any commands.  This affects all running programs.  How do I stop this?

    When I am on the internet, my screen will suddenly scroll all the way to the bottom and will not respond to any commands.  All of the other programs are then affected the same way and you cannot even use the commands at the top of the screen becayse they all scroll to the bottom.  After a while, the screen resets by itself.  Help.

    It sounds like a problem wih the backlight inverter. Usually they just go, instead of on and off.
    In a dark room hold a flashlight on the display when it blacks out. If you can see the items on the desktop, it's probably the backlight.

  • How do I extend my background all the way to the browser's edge?

    I'm making my first website with iWeb, and I'm learning as I go. I tried to use some wallpaper as my background instead of black or white, but when I published the site to a folder, it has black bars to the left and right side of my site rather than extending all the way to the borders of the browser. I had begun designing my site with a black template, so that explains why they're black, but why are they there? How do I extend an image to fill the entire browser space. Also, can I change the dimensions of my site, so it's not just a slender rectangle in the center of the browser? Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if I am able to help, but will try.
    First, I'm not sure you can fill to the browser's edge. (could be wrong though). If you want to adjust the web page so it is not just a narrow strip down the middle, open your inspector and go to the Page section (second from left). There you will see the name of your page and Page Size. Where it says Content Width and Height you can put your dimensions in there, which should solve that problem. I usually use dimensions of 1024 px wide and 3500 Height.
    I have found if I want to use an image as a background that I am better off placing it on the page and sizing it to fit the way it looks best. If you visit my site and go to Mark's page that is what I did for the background on that page. When I've tried to do it from the Page section of the inspector I never seem to get satisfactory results.
    I hope this helps and you enjoy your site.

  • Trying to get this table to "bleed" all the way to the top.., Making a table "bleed" off to the top of browser

    Hi everyone.
    Im new to these forums, and have decided (or more like
    forced..hehe) to use CSS. Now, i am going over the tutorials, but
    have yet to see something that can help me out. (Or my CSS
    understanding needs more understanding). I am trying to make a
    table/div bleed all the way to the top and bottom.. If you take a
    look at this site:
    http://www.helenbwilson.com
    Ok, I want to keep the black background, but I want the white
    to run all the way to the top and bottom-that is, just having black
    to the sides. Can I acheive this, without having to do a complete
    makeover of the site? I am willing to do that, but right now, I
    want to get my friends site up and running, and when one is
    complete, I want to go in and re-do it in CSS (Which i will make
    another topic so I can get help with that..) But for right now, I
    was wondering if there is something I can do about it right now. I
    am using Dreamweaver 8.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks, and hopefully I will get better at CSS..

    you have to remember what stacks are for, and many people don't.
    they're not designed to categorise and group images. they're designed to group images which are almost identical. for example, when I'm shooting a neighbourhood bird, I'll usually take 10 or more photos of the bird in the same setting with almost the same pose. I'm not sure which photo will have better focus or in which photo the bird's expressions will be better. once back in Aperture, I can group these near-identical photos into a stack and then rank them (I actually prefer to rank them first before stacking). the result is that I only see the best image from that set. if there are other photos in the stack that are different or that I might want to use independently, they'll have to be removed from the stack.
    alternatively but not as ideal, you could view the images in Multi mode, applying ratings and keywords to the images even while they are in stacks. you could then use Smart Albums to get to specific images within stacks by turning on the 'Ignore Stacks' preference at the bottom of the filter HUD.

  • Having a problem with mini dvi to hdmi.  Can see the background, but must move all screens all the way to the right to see on tv.  Any solutions?

    I'm having an issue with setting up mini dvi to hdmi.  I can connect and see the background picture from my macbook (approx 4 years old) but in order to see any screens or video, I have to move the screen almost all the way off the macbook display to the right.  Any ideas why this would happen?  Also, there is no audio, although when I bought the adapter and cable at the Mac store, they assured me it would handle both.

    You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Displays on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will makethe second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in ClamshellMode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
    No Mini-DVI adapter can carry audio. The only MacBook that sends audio is the Mid 2010 model 7,1 through a Mini DisplayPort.
    If you connect the MacBook using a Mini-DVI to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo system for audio if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini-DVI to HDMI doesn't carry audio and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.

  • HT4900 When opening an email on my macpro some of the emails open all the way to the right of the screen...others open in the center of the screen...I want them all to open in the center. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

    When opeing my email on my macbook pro some of my email messages show up in the middle of the screen..others show up all the way to the right. I want all of the emails to show in the middle of my screen. Is there a setting to change? Right now I have to open..close and then re-open some messages to get them to show in the middle of the screen. Thanks.

    No.
    Try this:
    Open one email.
    Adjust size and position.
    Close your mail application.
    Future mails should open as per the last email until you change it.
    The same is so for Safari windows.

  • My iPod is working but the charger won't go all the way in the charger slot to recharge it,someone please tell me want the problem can be. How can I fix this. Thank you

    MMy iPod is workin,but my charger no longer fixes all the way in the  slot to recharge it. Want should I do. Thank you

    Hey Lynette1234, As UbuntuXP stated check and clean the port of foreign debris. Lint packed in the bottom of the charging port is most often the problem, This seems to be more of an issue with the lighting ports used on the iPod 5. The following will help you clear / clean the lighting port on an iPod 5. Try using a strong light and a magnifying glass to look into the port, using a soft brush to carefully remove any debris, if you must a non-conductive probe may be needed, I find a round wooden toothpick work well. Avoid touching or bending the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Damage them and you will have a costly repair. Also, make sure the silver lock springs (looks like silver bump on each end) on the short sides of the port are free to move, if not clear the debris. If the older 30 pin type, same thing avoid touching, bending the contacts, and remove all foreign debris. Many report a soft toothbrush works well or a toothpick. Avoid using solvents if the contact pins appear corroded, generally plugging / plugging the charger end , about 12 times will clean dirty contacts. If you must, a cotton swab cut to fit the port with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, (you want the swab damp, NOT wet or dripping), will remove most any corrosion. simply run the swab in and out as if you were plugging it in until the swab comes out clean. May need to use more than one swab. But check for lint / foreign debris first. Good luck. Cheers.

  • I have Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones.  I am unable to insert the male end all the way into the IPAD3.  I do have sound in the headphones, however.  Is this common for most headsets on the IPAD3?

    I have Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones.  I am unable to insert the male end all the way into the IPAD3.  I do have sound in the headphones, however.  Is this common for most headsets on the IPAD3?

    No, it's not common for any of the headphonse I've plugged into my iPad, but that doesn't mean it isn't normal for this particular set of headphones and iPad.  That said, are you sure you've pushed the plug in all the way?  I have found that on my New iPad, the headphone plug requires more effort to connect the plug than on my previous iPad 2.  If they sound fine, I guess I wouldn't be concerned.  If they don't sound good, it could be an issue.

  • I do not see ANY of the new features claimed for Firefox 4, and moving the home button all the way to the right is very inconvenient. So what's so great?

    I have used (and liked) Firefox from the first time it was offered. I
    typically upgrade to newer versions as they come out. Sometimes
    the newer version doesn't differ markedly from the previous one, but, until now, they were not usually a step backward. Upon installing Firefox 4 the welcome page indicated several new features. Specifically an app bar, and a bookmark button next to the home button. However neither of these features are on my copy of the program. Frankly, the only change that I see is the new position of the home button; and I don't like it. Moving the home button all the way across the page from the other commonly used buttons makes absolutely no sense to me, especially if the touted bookmark button doesn't exist. The new speed, if it continues, is nice, but other than that I see no real improvement over Firefox 3. So what's so great?

    The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
    You can rearrange the buttons and place them where you want, for details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars

    Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
    If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.
