16-9 ratio, how do I keep it when I burn a dvd?

Hi,
I have a canon gl2 camcorder. You have a choice of recording in either 3-4 or 16-9 ratio. I recorded in the 16-9 ratio. When I download to imovie, the dialogue there states it is indeed the 16-9 format. so after I edit the movie, I save in quicktime best quality and burn a dvd. When I play it on my tv, I expected it to be the 16-9 ratio. My tv is not a wide screen model. But since I recorded it in the 16-9 ratio and also edited in this format I thought that was what I was going to get, the same thing happens when I use dvd player on my computer. when I rent commercial videos that are in letterbox format, that is what I get on my tv set. How do I maintain this format, is it imovie, quicktime or what?
thanks
John

I save in quicktime best quality and burn a dvd
That's your problem. You should just drag the iMovie project file into the iDVD window.
(There is a bug in the export, so the exported video lost its "widescreen" flag.)
And there is also a menu option in iDVD to make a widescreen DVD.

How Do I Keep Quality when I Render

I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 11 - on a Windows 8 PC - and when I RENDER high quality still images, some video's and simple effects - it DROPS the quality and the image and video become GRAINY.
How do I RENDER without losing quality?

I pull an Still Image from my files - it’s 300dpi. I size it to 1900x1200 (roughly). I go to put it in place and a warning comes on that ask if I want to “auto fix” the clip.
I say no. I drop it in to the timeline and it looks great. I go to Render it - and I can see it change, drop in quality and get grainy by the time the render is finished.
I’M NOT PLAYING IT FULL SCREEN. For some reason - it’s not accepting some high quality images?
My Project Settings are; 1920/1080 --- 30fps DROP frame (should it be Non-Drop?) -- Capture is HDV and Video Rendering is only marked at "Optimize Stills"
IT’S NOT A PROBLEM WHEN I BURN TO DVD - IT’S ALREADY BEEN RENDERED AT POOR QUALITY AT THAT TIME. It’s something in the clip that the system thinks it needs fixing when I drop it in. When I say “no” it drops in perfect.
I've been using DVD to burn a disc - that works fine.

How do I keep setting when reinstalling PSE 11

My hard drive just died. I have backed up all my files and photos. How do I keep my setting such as tagged photos and albums in Photoshop Elements 11 when I reload PSE 11 on a new hard drive?

Ok...
There are two libraries. One is the system, the other in your Home Folder.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a little house icon.
Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder then the com.apple.Safari folder. The cache.db file is there.
Note. Your Home Folder path is this: ~/Library
System folder is this: /Library
Note the ~ Tilde character in front of the Library. That denotes your Home Folder.

How can I keep notes when using a new icloud account?

Hello
I want to use one apple id for purchases and another apple id with my icloud account! when I delete the actual icloud account it deletes the notes and the photo stream. How can I do to keep my notes with my new apple id? I have hundreds of notes!
Help me please
Thanks

1)Only way to transfer your Notes is to copy and paste manually. (Do it on your desktop browser at www.icloud.com, its much easier)
2)Another way is to keep the iCloud account that contains your notes as a secondary iCloud account.
Do you share the Apple ID that you wanna use for purchases with another person? Is so the first way is your only option

How do I keep leading when importing a Microsoft Word document to indesign?

I have a long document in Word that has some simple styles applied to it (a few colors and different fonts) but when I try to place it in my indesign file, the leading changes. Everything else stays the same. Any idea why it changes? I thought leading is one attribute that's supposed to import if I have "preserve styles and formatting for text" setting checked in indesign...
I don't know if it matters, but I'm using Mac OS 10.9 with Indesign CS6 and Microsoft Word 2011

Migintosh, I hadn't thought of that, but turns out that is my problem. I seems when I place the file, indesign in automatically changing those values. Is there a way to force indesign keep those at 0 (or whatever value I want) as I place the text? Right now, what happens is I place the text and then have to select all and manually set the before and after to 0 since indesign decides to change the after spacing to 0.1389.

HELP! HOW DO I KEEP LOGIC WHEN UPGRADING FROM TIGER TO SNOW LEOPARD!

So I use a later macbook but have another slightly older one (got it in 2007) that kinda kicked the bucket. I'm now able to use it again (with a new setup). I have Logic express (an older version) but the macbook is running that last version of tiger before leopard. I want to upgrade to snow leopard (which i've learned I can from tiger directly for the low price) but I don't want to lose logic since I payed for it and don't have the install discs anymore.
I don't mind getting rid of everything else but I want to keep the actual program on the comp and just run it in SL. What specifically do I have to do (as far as backing up and all that) to CLEANLY upgrade from tiger to SL but keep logic? I'll have an external HD by the time I'm ready so keep that in consideration.

I have never used Logic Express so I can't help you but if you to the Logic Express Forum and repost over there you might be able to find someone who knows about Logic Express to help you.

How can I keep images when replying to emails?

Hello,
My company have recently changed email signatures to one that includes a lot of images. When you send an email from Outlook the image displays perfectly on iphone 5-so good so far! However when you try to reply to an email from iphone the images are not included in the reply and the signature looks untidy.
If I click forward instead of reply on my iphone, I am given the option to "include attachments from the original message?". If I click "include" then the forwarded email signature appears as it should; if I click "don't include" the email signature does not display the images correctly as above.
Is there a way to have the "include attachments from original message?" option when replying to emails on iphone 5 (iOS 6.1.4)?
Thanks

Right-click the page, choose View Page Info, and click the Permissions tab. There you can turn off automatic loading of images (uncheck Use default first to enable the controls). Any luck?
There might be a way to restore that more direct right-click menu item if you need it frequently, but I haven't researched it.
To clean up a page for printing, you also could consider an add-on like the following: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/print-edit/ Print Edit :: Add-ons for Firefox]. Then you wouldn't have to re-enable images each time.

How to get best quality when exporting presentation to dvd?

I have just completed a keynote presentation with 21 slides including various movie clips.
I want to export this to Dvd where it can be played on someone elses computer and then onto a projector.
I have tried exporting it as a Quick time movie and then to idvd, however the quality seems to dimish considerably. The picture is shaky and the resolution seems rather low and grainy.
Could someone tell me how I can get this onto Dvd with the best quality possible. i.e if I change the slide size will this make a difference, or if I make the dvd interactive?
I am a completely new keynote user so I apologise for my ignorance but would appreciate any advice!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks David.
I will give that a go. I went to the Mac store on Regent street, and they were really helpful. The guy there advised me to compress the movie in quick time and then export it onto either a flash drive or ipod, which can then be transfered onto any other computer (mac or p.c) which has quick time downloaded on it. This works for me as I needed my presentation to be exported to my bosses laptop P.C.

Premiere doesnt play my m2v file and how do i export videos correctly to burn to dvd. also any suggestions on dvd burning software

exactly as i stated above:
i tried exporting my video project via mpeg2-dvd option which put my video in the m2v. file format. the file format is showing blank when i go to put it in any dvd burning software. also when i put the file back into premiere it shows no media but has the entire duration of the video project on it with 3.5 gb. what is going on and can anyone help assist me with this frustrating issue

How do I keep the quality when I bring a video into Dvd studio pro 3

just curious, the quality is really bad when I burn a dvd. the m2v movie that comes out is really bad, just curious if you would know how to fix this. It looks fine when I export it from fcp6 but when I bring it in to DSP3 it looks like something that's gone through the system of an old women.

whatever that means.
why not detail your complete workflow along with bit rate settings, treatment of audio, original source codec, length of the video in total minutes.

I want to burn a DVD and keep the pictures in the files

I am using iPhoto 8. I have 46 albums that I created for one vacation. I have organized all of the pictures from 5 cameras and want to burn a DVD keeping the pictures in those albums so others can create a slideshow from them. When I burned a DVD the files did not show up, so all of the work was for nothing. How can I burn the DVD and keep the files intact so other people do not need to do the same work that I have already completed?

As Terence mentioned for those with Macs and iPhoto select the albums you've created and use the Share ➙ Burn menu option. This will create a mini library on the disk that others can view in iPhoto and run slideshows from the photos in the album or copy those albums into their library for more control.

How do I make sure my music will play when I burn a copy of a slide show?

How do I make sure my music will be included when I burn a copy of a slide show. I have made many many slide shows over the years with the music in perfect sync to the slides. I recently updated my iMac to OS 7. I did not want to do it because I heard it created issues with iPhoto. But because I had updated my iPhone and my iPad, and although I don't like OS 7 (the first time I have not liked an upgrade) I thought I could figure out how to solve problems/ differences. Well, this has me stumped. It plays perfectly on my iMac, but when I burned a copy to share with friends, the music did not burn or transfer. Does anyone have any ideas why this does not work, and what I have to do to ensure that the music I selected and added to the slide show using the settings did not burn along with the iPhoto slide show?

I recently updated my iMac to OS 7
What is really your MacOS X version? iOS 7 is the operating system for iPhone, iPad, iPod.
But what versions are you using on your iMac? Have you upgraded to Mavericks, MacOS X 10.9.x and iPhoto 9.5.1, or are you using an earlier version?

How did you export the slideshow and burn the DVD?
To have the music play along with the slideshow, you need to export your Slideshow project as a video file - use the "Export" button below the Slideshow window and select a format.
Check, if the exported video does play well and the audio is present.
Then burn a video DVD using iDVD or Toast, or a similar program to burn video DVDs, see:
