Alien movie - fullscreen or widescreen

Can someone tell me if Alien movie by ridley scott is really fullscreen download and not widescreen? The format shows Fullscreen in iTunes. Surely it is actually widescreen. Thanks.

It's mislabeled. I had the same question, but just bought the original 1979 cut and it's widescreen.

How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb? Can anyone help me please?

You have to create a QTL file that opens the QT movie in the player. Based on the settings it opens in Full Screen.

An alternative is to publish your movies to Vimeo and embed the movie in your page. These movies can play full screen.
Or use DivX of Flash Video.

Final Cut Express Movie turns into Widescreen

I've seen a lot of discussion about this on the forum, but no real solutions.
ANd to re-cap...Its not Audio, its not chapter markers, its not having something selected in the timeline when exporting.
When I create a non widescreen project in Final Cut Express (Current Version)
And then export it as a reference movie (as it is suggested to do)
Then import it into iDVD for burning. It becomes a widescreen project.
I have 2 projects I created in FCE. Both are from the same type of source material, both are about the same length, acording to the Quicktime movie inspector, identical in every way almost except for the actual content.
One burned fine in iDVD, the next one, done the same day was converted to widescreen by iDVD.
Any solutions to this...I'm obviously not the first person with the problem.

Same problem with a fullscreen movie exported as a quicktime movie from FCP, then iDVD forcing it into widescreen. I solved the problem by exporting from FCP with Compressor. In Compressor I chose DV_NTSC as my format and it works fine as fullscreen in iDVD. It even saves chapter markers. So that's my current workaround until Apple fixes this terrible bug.

Fullscreen vs Widescreen

I filmed an event back in january in fullscreen format, I captured it, edited it, and burned it to dvd just fine with no problems. I recently filmed another video that I did in widescreen format. When I go to capture it into Final Cut Pro, it will only capture about 20-30 seconds before it drops frames.
Why would a fullscreen capture work but not a widescreen capture? How are they so different when it comes to capturing? How can I fix this problem?

And let me add, I HATE the term Fullscreen.
Just one more way the TV/Film industry is convincing the uninformed public that Widescreen movies are wrong. The black bars are wrong. I don't want a widescreen TV, because then I won't be able to view fullscreen.
Almost as bad as the EDTV moniker on cheap sets.
I don't know. I have an HD 16:9 plasma. All my Widescreen DVDs fill the screen nicely. Is there something wrong?
Idiots.
Sorry, quick rant on stupid marketingspeak. If you want to move the public forward into buying an widescreen TV, don't call those DVDs Fullscreen. Call them Cropped, or Edited, or Altered.

Flash player to fullscreen non widescreen.

I have looked several places and I can't seem to find anyone that can help me with this I want to know how to get Flash Player(on websites) to go completely fullscreen on my 1280x1024 display without it keeping its widescreen values. I want it to fit to the whole screen without it being widescreen and showing black areas on the top and bottom to fill in the extra space. Is there any way to edit some computer settings or flash player settings to do this? I am specifically talking about viewing streams on Twitch.tv, but any flash player based site would also be helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks

This is something that the website (twitch.tv for example) would need to implement, Flash Player does not dictate the video dimensions.
However, unless the widescreen content is zoomed/cropped or the aspect ratio is changed, causing the video to become stretched/squished, there's not much you can do about letter boxing when going from 16:9 to 5:4.

Why did our standard format Quicktime movie switch to widescreen preview in iDVD?

We created wedding videos on Final Cut Express 2 and converted them to Quicktime movies. When you play the videos in Quicktime, they show up in standard format (not widescreen). When we put the movies into iDVD 7.1.2, one of the movies shows up as widescreen and the other stays in standard format. We want them in standard format (which is how they were shot).
Any suggestions?

Hi
When You make a brand new iDVD project - Select DV - not Widescreen-DV
In iDVD top menu Project/Project info - Here too - You may be must select 4x3 size.
And how You go from FinalCut to iDVD matters - My notes on this.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used (matters)
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Also do when problems occures
• Trash iDVD pref. file and
• run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

How to make Widescreen Videos Display correctly in iDVD?

I shot video with my sony dvcam in 4:3 format. PAL.
I took this video and edited it in iMovie and Exported as follows:
DVCPRO PAL; Aspect: 16x9 25fps.
Size: 720x576 16:9 (i do not preserve aspect ratio).
I take this quicktime movie file and drop it into iDVD using a non Widescreen format menu (but i go ahead and choose it to switch to widescreen when it asks me).
I have 10 small videos i do this too and out of the 10 only 2 actually play in widescreen. The other 8 start off by displaying grey side vertical bars on either side of the screen then proceed to move into a 4:3 aspect.
Why is this happening? Why only 2 work? What is happening to the other 8?
Each of the .mov files i am using display in widescreen when i open and play in QuickTime.
(i have checked using QTPro and all the aspects are set to 1024 x 576 (PAL) for each movie.
Can anyone point me some clues as to what is happening?
THANKS

OK found my solution.
Something in iDVD was not translating the .mov file correctly and not showing my .mov files in proper 16:9 format. It did so with 2 of them but not the other 8.
So i found a work around that made it work perfectly.
I made a new iMovie file in widescreen format. Closed iMovie. Then did a "view contents" function (cntrl click on iMovie file and "view contents"). Next i dropped the 16x9 .mov file into the Media folder. Open the iMovie file again and move the .mov file from the Trash into the Timeline. Save iMovie file. Then i dropped the iMovie file into iDVD and now i have my 16x9 movie with no problem.
I had to make these different aspects and formats because i needed 4 DVDs of each movie:
Fullscreen PAL
Widescreen PAL
Fullscreen NTSC
Widescreen NTSC
Glad i got it all to work out OK.
Also be sure to select the correct fps in the iMovie preferences before making a new iMovie. And deselect the "pillarbox and letterbox" option.

Youtube displaying widescreen movies in letterbox on widescreen tv

Hello all,
I hope I can get some help here.
I have a dual-monitor setup where I have a 19" main monitor running on 1280x1024 as my main desktop, and I have my 42" widescreen full-HD tv connected to the secondary output of my GeForce 9600GT.
I like to watch movies/youtube fullscreen on my 42" tv ofcourse, especially since YouTube now has 1080p quality available.
On other media players (like windows media player, Ustream and others), when I click fullscreen on widescreen content, the entire display of the TV is being used, but when I click the fullscreen option on YouTube (when the youtube content is on 16:9) I get a black letterbox all around the content.
Youtube is treating my TV as a 4:3 (so I get black bars on the left and the right). I guess the player isn't able to detect that it's actually a widescreen TV. The playbar and adds etc. show up on only part of the screen as well, and then ofcourse since it seems to detect 4:3, it also puts black bars on the top and the bottom for the widescreen content.
Is there any way to force 16:9 settings on youtube, regardless of what the player is apparently detecting?
Kind regards.

Hi, The only thing I would suggest is to see if Youtube has any guidelines. Also when you open your thread, look to the right side and you'll see "More like This" where various threads seem to be discussing this issue.
Thanks,

Watch fullscreen movie on 2nd monitor & work on my MBP @ the same time?

I hooked up a 2nd monitor to my MBP (mini to VGA) and figured out how to have an extended desktop. It's a little tricky adjusting where the pointer will be (I don't totally understand it, but with trial and error and lots of persistence, I finally got it to ALMOST be set up the way I'd like).
I have a movie (.avi file) playing on the 2nd monitor and I'm able to work on my MBP, but I can't figure out how to view the movie fullscreen because when I get the 2nd monitor fullscreen, my MBP screen goes fullscreen as well (and of course the dock and any form of control disappear as my MBP screen is just dark and blank).
Does anyone know the trick to getting the setup that I want? FULLSCREEN 2nd monitor to watch .avi files while working on my MBP???
I could really use some help on this one! THANK YOU, oh knowledgeable one(s) who reply!!!

You won't be able to do it with the included QuickTime media player. But it can be done with other media players like MPlayer or VLC I am pretty sure. Haven't had this exact need myself but have seen other similar threads and recall the above being recommended. Good luck.

Apple tv keep saying Widescreen when buying and renting I don't see widescreen when buying and renting I only see widescreen on 1 movie I have to use the other romote and make the screen bigger can anybody help me?

Apple Tv keep saying widescreen I rented and brought the movies I don't get widescreen I have to open up the screen with another remote there was only one movie that was widescreen? Can you fix this? Do you have any advice?

Virtually all iTunes movies are widescreen, so it is difficult to understand what you are referring to, could you explain a little better please.

Widescreen, letterbox an 4:3 in one movie!!!

Hi!
I made a film in imovie, the footage was recorded in 16:9. Then I made the movie with idvd and now my dvd menu is in widescreen, the themes of the movie are in 4:3 and the movie itself is in letterbox.
What have I done wrong? Why can you turn the dvd menu in idvd into 16:9, but not the themes in imovie?
I want it all to be in widescreen or 16:9.
It looks horrible on my 16:9 tv
Please help me!!!
Thanks a lot.

wait your saying the movie technically is widescreen itself but it has the black bars on top and bottom, so when you watch it, it stretches the picture because of the black bars?
if so you change that on your tv. even store bought movies those black bars are actually part of the picture, you have to have a widescreen tv and select zoom or fill screen or something, forget the actual name, for it to do it.

How do I make 16:9 quicktime movies of footage shot & edited in widescreen

I just finished editing a project that was shot in Widescreen. I want to export a 30 second clip from it to put in a DVD SP menu Drop Zone
When I go to File --- Export ---- Current Settings I export it and it makes a quicktime movie. No problem.
When I open up that file using QT on my desktop, it is still in 4:3 mode.
When I put that quicktime into DVD SP menu that is 16:9, it plays in 4:3 mode.
How can I make a Quicktime Movie that is widescreen, plays in Quicktime Widescreen, and when I bring it into DVD SP plays Widescreen in a Drop Zone of a menu that is widescreen.
Thanks in advance

You can either make the dimensions of your export 16:9 or export an anamorphic 4:3 qt and make sure the anamorphic flag is turned on for the qt. Not sure how consistent fcp is in doing this, but you can always open the exported qt in qtplayer and change the display aspect ratio.

Why isn't the movie "aliens" available?

All of the other Alien movies are available except Aliens.

I recently asked the same question. Some movies on iTunes will be on there for a while then will be taken down. I was looking into buying 'Inception' because I thought I saw it on iTunes a while back, but unfortunently I couldn't find it. Hope this helps!

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.
