Aspect ratio error new chapter

Hello,
I do not seem to be able to solve the aspect ratio error that has so many threads all over the web.
I checked the menu, tried several own made menus and templates, so this is not the cause. The only timeline is an MPEG2 (half an our) from Squeeze (usually no problems). Everything is set on 16:9.  So what could I miss here?
Thanks,
Rob
The message states that there is an error in the movie at 5.3200 s.
The aspect Ratio is not supported by DVD.
Updated: problem solved. There was something wrong with an audio file. Don't know what. Just exported again from Avid.

That is the resolution. What PAR are you using? It should be 0,9 for 4:3 projects, assuming NTSC.

  • 1.3 not respecting the aspect ratio set: new bug?

    I import a lot of scanned images, crop and straighten them and set a new aspect.
    I work with: Pentium 4, Windows, 1200x1600 monitor (portrait).
    I noticed with 1.3 what never happened to me with 1.2, as follows:
    a. select an image in Develop
    b. select crop overlay
    c. select 2:3 aspect
    d. straigthen the image (as example, by 1,00)
    e. drag one of the corners, reducing the image size
    f. the dragged corner 'jumps' a little and the gets reduced, visually showing a different aspect. Check the cropped dimensions and realise that the aspect is really not anymore 2:3. But 2:3 is shown selected!
    What I do to counteract this, is selecting again 2:3 aspect, then the aspect is corrected, but the corners change how I did not intend.
    I finally move the corners again and I crop as I will with the 2:3 aspect unchanged.
    Does this happen to anyone else?
    I consider this a quite annoying bug, am I right?
    Thanks

    Thanks Steve,
    I appreciate a lot, that you tried to reproduce the behaviour of Lightroom 1.3 on my PC, which runs Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2.
    Well, it looks it happens just to me...
    Anyway, if an Adobe technician reads that, here is what I see, mentioning a specific case:
    - tiff imported image
    size 7598x5082
    - go to Develop page
    - select Crop overlay
    it shows locked aspect ratio
    it shows Aspect: Original
    - select Aspect: 2x3
    size becomes 7598x5065 (I read that, moving the mouse over the thumb in the bottom panel)
    - rotate the image by entering 1 in Straighten
    the size becomes 7430x4953
    - drag one (anyone) corner reducing the image size
    while dragging, the dragged corner visibly 'jumps' increasing the reduction
    - as example, the size is then 7350x4717 (not any more 2x3)
    but it always shows Aspect: 2x3 !!!
    The consequence of this behaviour is that after every rotating and resizing the set aspect ratio gets lost, even if otherwise stated by the shown aspect value.
    I am then obliged to apply the Aspect: 2x3 again, which works, but which changes the position of the corners, therefore forcing me to set them again as I liked.
    Perhaps what I wrote might be useful for Adobe people to correct this in a next version.
    Thanks!

  • MENU ASPECT RATIO ERROR UPON BIULD

    All,
    I wondered if anyone may be able to help... I've been constructing my company's showreel DVD using ENCORE over the last few weeks, encountering a mixed variety of unpredictable bugs along the way. Just when I thought I'd cracked the project, I've started to encounter a very troubling error that prevents me from build a finished DVD.
    Upon Building, i continuously get the following message attached to a variety of different menu file names:
    PGC "menu file name" has an error at 0.000s. The aspect ratio of this file is not supported by DVD. -PGC Info: name = GGN_MENU_FORD_story.ref= EBpgc, time = 0.000s
    I presumed that this was relating back to the pixel aspect ratio of the menus upon creating in Photoshop, but the frustrating thing is that i haven't changed these ratios from successful builds on earlier versions of the disk. I'm loathed to start unpicking the project...
    Any ideas? Thanks,
    Will

    Tell me about the menu that is erroring - its aspect ratio, is it a motion menu, etc.

  • "Aspect ratio" error on build

    So, when I go to "build" my final disk, I get an error, saying, "The aspect raio of this file is not supported by DVD." However, even after changing the "interpret footage" options for my video files, I get the same error. The aspect ratios (I thought) for my videos are 720x480, which I thought was an acceptable aspect ratio.
    How do I fix this? Thanks.

    That is the resolution. What PAR are you using? It should be 0,9 for 4:3 projects, assuming NTSC.

  • Aspect ratio on new TV

    Just purchased a Sony KDL40ex503 TV and cannot get the aspect ratio sorted from the BT vision box. I have played with all the options on both the BT box and the TV to no avail. On all options besides 4.3 the picture is bigger than the screen, thus not showing the outer edges (hope that makes sense)
    Any help is much appreciated

    Connection is as follows:
    connection is via hdmi from BT box to TV. No zoom option is set and I have gone through all the aspect options on the TV and BT box to trya nd rectify this, but the picture doesnt seem to change at all. The only time I can see a change on the screen is when I select 4:3. This obviously reduces the image size on the screen. But when I select any of the other options the picture is bigger than the screen. I have changed options on both the TV and BT box to match eachother, i have changed options on one or the other and still no improvment.
    The picture from the TV's built in freeview is perfect as is displays from connected blueray player and PS3

  • XL-H1 aspect ratio error when exporting from FCP 1080p24 to compressor

    PLEASE HELP
    I have a finished project in fcp in a 1080p24 project.
    My source footage is 1440 x 1080i 24f from an xl-h1.
    When i export from final cut pro to compressor, compressor squeezes my footage into a square.
    if i export to dvd from compressor the ratio is fine.
    when i export in quicktime thats where the skewed image happens.
    Please help
    thanks

    Hi StingoArmy,
    There is an easy fix for this. Once you export your file to Compressor, you can apply an export option, let's say we're going to export a LAN Streaming Quicktime movie for Internet. Now click on the new bar that's been placed inside your media tab. The settings for this export item appear below in the Inspector. Just below the DESCRIPTION line are a series of options buttons. Clicking the option 2nd from the right (Geometry) opens up a new tab where you can change the dimensions. There are several ways to go about exporting to 16:9, the one I use is to change the Frame Size to "Custom (16:9)", however, you can also do the same thing by changing the Pixel Aspect to "HDV 1080i (16:9)" You should test results for both and see which is the preferred method for your final output, depending on what type of Quicktime movie you are creating.

  • Wrong aspect ratio on new MBP retina

    On my new MacBookPro Retina 15'' with Windows 7 partition, a game doesn't fill the full screen. It looks like 4:3 squeezed with black vertical bars - and no matter what display setting I chose it's always the same. But it was okay on my older MacBookPro (late 2008) with Windows 95. Is it because of the retina display? Anyone got an idea?

    first problem - what setting is your TV set to ? looks like your TV is changing the ratio (rather than the appletv). the appletv will only every play it as the movie file dictates. also check that the appletv is set to 720p HD or 1080i HD (ie not 480p)
    second problem - is the movie you download actually 5.1 in the first place? i don't think many of the SD films are 5.1. i think it's only the HD rentals that are 5.1 (and those are not available yet)

  • Aspect Ratio Error - Please Help

    I am receiving the following error message when doing my final build. Whether I am trying to export to .iso or straight to a DVD, the error message appears after the program finishes transcoding my video files.
    The project contains 2 quicktime files which are both successfully in the timeline. They have been modified by Encore's option of a Widescreen interpret and one file has been trimmed by a few frames in the timeline.
    The audio is an AC3 file which has given no problems.
    In fact, playback of the timeline has given no problems and checking the project returned no errors.
    However, that error message still pops up. If anyone has some idea why that's happening, your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    The source of the QT files I'm not sure about. A post production house converted HDCAM footage to QT files using the Photo JPEG codec.
    I have the Sorenson Squeeze compression suite, but am hesitant to encode them to MPEG-2 for fear of resolution/quality loss because I'm not very proficient in selecting the right output settings on these codecs.
    The other thing is, this only happens when I try to build the project with both files in the timeline. I attempted to create the DVD with only the 1st QT file (which has the exact same properties as the 2nd) and it worked.
    I will try encoding anyway, but would appreciate if other ideas are available.
    Thank you.

  • Aspect Ratio of this File not Supported by DVD

    I spent alot of time create a 1 hour + video sequence in PremierPro, but when I set it up I mistakenly picked 16:9 instead of 4:3 thinking I want the widescreen output eventually.  I dynamic linked to Encore, built several DVD menu, submenus etc...then when I went to build (burn the DVD) I get the aspect ratio error.  I realize I cannot change the way I set up the PremierPro set up.  But is there a workaroud or some alternative so I can create the menus etc to so it is interactive in a DVD player?  Is there a different way to import and encode differently so that I can burn the DVD?  Or can I get a different DVD type...any help appreciated...I have about 40 hours into this video???
    thank you, Brett

    Stan….many thanks for the feedback….
    I thought of that but since I didn’t think you could copy the assets very efficiently I didn’t consider it for too long….the sequence is over an hour and has over 100 clips, plus audio…I will play around with the copying….like Excel and other programs, can you click on the first clip and the last clip and copy all at once??
    On the menu issue, I only have a couple of hours into that so it makes sense to re-do the Encore….interestingly though I created custom menu and submenu files using the “WIDE” version of the Premier corporate templates and have used those, I am assuming if it has a WIDE reference that it is 16:nine….
    The crazy thing for me is that I actually created a “test” DVD directly from Premier and for the life of me can’t remember how I did it….it actually works fine in a DVD player but with no menus and chapter marks, you can’t do scene selections and jump etc…
    And yes on the interactive reference I mean disk navigation…
    I really appreciate the help and feedback….

  • Aspect Ratio Messed Up? Black Bars?

    Greetings folks,
    I'm trying to make a SD DVD from 1080p footage. I used Apple's Compressor to make 720x480 m2v and ac3 files for a few short clips I am putting on the DVD.
    I'd like to use a Button transition when I click to view a certain clip (a 3 second video) that plays before the main clip.
    However, since Encore doesn't allow you to use two separate files (an audio and a video file) for a Button transition, I've tried simply importing a high quality 1920x1080 video file into encore from AME.
    The problem is that the Button transition video has black bars on the side, and I've tried my hardest to figure out why it is doing this. I've even tried exporting from AME at 720x480, and Encore persists in placing these black bars on the side.
    If I export a ac3 and m2v from Compressor (or a wav with AME) I can only use the audio or the video for the Button transition. I want both.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I'd like all my videos, including my Button transitions, to fill the screen.

    Hi Stan,
    Thank you for your reply, I'll explain more in depth what my issue is.
    I used Compressor for the DVD files because I'm more familiar with it.
    However, since a Button Transition only allows you to select one file, I exported a high quality Quicktime file 1920x1080 and imported that into Encore with the assumption it would transcode during the burning process.
    I exported this file from Adobe Media Encoder from a timeline directly from Premiere, and tried a number of combinations. I tried selecting "scale to fill" or "stretch to fill" and even exported at 720x480 (the supposed dimensions of the DVD in Encore) but this generated a "wrong pixel aspect ratio" error.
    I couldn't do "Transcode Now" on the file because apparently the "asset was not in use" even though it was serving as a transition.
    Is there a way to apply "scale to fill" in Encore? Is it something you do in the transcode settings for the project?

  • How to fix an error in sequnece setting (aspect ratio)?

    Hi,
    I have been working for a while on a project in CS4. I have created a sequence in it with an aspect ratio (AR) of 4:3 - worked for hours on it - but I should had the sequence created instead in 16:9. I realised it a bit too late...
    So how do I fix it?
    Apparently amending the sequence setting for AR cannot be done - please let me know if there is any way of doing this.
    Someone suggested editing the PRPROJ file of the project - but when I opened it I was unable to detect under the sequence name (I found a few entries with it) where I can easily change the sequence to 16:9.
    So then I found people suggesting I copy/paste all the assets from the sequence into a new one that is correctly configured with 16:9. When I did this - CTRL+A and Copy, then paste into a new sequence in the same project - it copied all the clips and I think also all the transitions. But the key element that it did not copy over were all the changes I have done to the sound - I have been editing via the sound mixer (in Write mode) the sound, and then also made changes to the master track volume levels. These were not copied over.
    I really don't want to have to do the mixing all over again. If someone can explain how I can fix the problem in any way I would be most thankful.
    While I am here asking - another 2 small questions that have been bugging me:
    How I can copy and paste volume keyframes from either the master track or a clip and apply it on another clip/section of the clip that would be very helpful. This would for example be useful if I am able to find a certain volume level that I would like to apply to the desired section without the need to sit and "record" (using the Write function) those settings on the desired area. If there is any means to apply the properties on audio track this way - that would be really useful and time saving.
    A best practice hint: when you try and create a sound level for a project - what PC volume level setting do you set in your PC that you use as a benchmark by which we then work out the sound level that would be created in the project? Obviously if I push my PC volume al the way up I would probably mix my sound in the project too low. And if I set the PC volume too low - than I would probably be setting the overall sound level too high and get distortion. As the movies I created would be burnt onto a DVD - what is the volume level on the PC (if there is any means of establishing a standard volume) that I need to match first before I go and figure out what level of sound the finished DVD would have? Of course I can work on say a 50% and then apply gains and volume increases based on that 50% of the max sound my PC plays out. But that sounds pretty much like a random setting and not optimised for other devices.
    My system:
    Windows 7, 32-bit
    CS4, v. 4.2.1
    This looks like a fairly basic question but I am unable to find a good answer to it...
    Many thanks to the person who shows me how this can be done without me going crazy over the need to start all over again...

    Hi Ann,
    Your tip saved me a lot of time indeed....!
    So I created a new sequence, made sure it was 16:9, copy pasted all of the assets, but then had to do the following:
    1. Copy/Paste Attributes for all the video clips (these do not transfer);
    2. As you suggested used the whole of the old sequence as a nested sequence in the new one, eliminating the video altogether.
    I still had a nagging issue that the project would not render or export well - but that turned out to be an issue with rendeiring large files (the video was an uncut clip of almost 10GB, andother of 6GB). Splicing these into 10 minute segments and rendering them separately did the trick.
    It's ben amlong Xmas weekend and endless hours spendt on this project. Yaikes!
    Thanks for the workaround idea!

  • CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

    Hi Kglad.
    I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
    Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
    here is the new tutorial for CC -  my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

  • 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

    Raise the window to the top of the stack

  • The aspect ratio of this file is  not support by DVD. Possible slideshow error?

    hello everyone,
    I will try to give as much information as possible.  Dont scream at me if i forget anything.  For starters, I just learned how to use Adobe Encore CS4.  I taught my self between reading the  help files and videos I found on the web.   I am an amateur when it comes to DVD authoring (could have alot to do with my problem).  Im an animator and I am making a DVD to show my demo reel, drawings, and i have a storyboard to final comparison video.  I designed all of my menus in photoshop.  I have one transition that was animated in after effects that was imported using dynamic link.  My demo reel is a mov file at 640x360 widescreen, half the size of HD 720p.  The comparison video is a premiere file from dynamic link (same size as the demo reel). There is some background music for the menus. Then I have 3 slideshows, and i believe this is where the error is coming from.  Most of the artwork has the same dimensions but there are some that are larger or smaller.  Some are jpg, but most are PSD files.  The slide show is set to manual advance with music in the background. I have no transition effects on the slideshow.  When building the DVD, i believe when it says "starting project" after all the importing was done,i get the error
    The aspect ratio of this file is  not support by DVD. PGC info: name= Figure Drawing (name of the slideshow and a menu button) ref=Fpgc, time=234.2340s
    I just tried to build the DVD without the slideshow and I still get the error. Possibly a menu issue? I have no idea. Ive ran into errors before but I was able to get through the others.  I just cant seem to find a solution to this error. Even after searching the forums for similar problems. Hopefully, the solution is simple. If more info is needed let me know.  I really need this DVD to send out for jobs!! Thanks everyone.
    Brandon

    When doing SlideShows, whether in Encore (somewhat limited), or in PrPro, it is always better to re-size outside of these programs, prior to Import. I use Photoshop (PS) to do this, and use an Action to get everything in the proper Mode, Color Space, Size - everything. I always do a Save_As and use .PSD files. I also Save a working version, incase I have Flattened, etc., for Import into the NLE/authoring app.
    JPEG's *should* work fine too, though there is the JPEG compression to deal with. Might not be an issue, but for max quality, I start with RAW images, process to .PSD's, and then work from copies of these, to get my still Assets ready for PrPro, or En.
    I either size exactly to my Project Preset, or to exactly what I need, if say I will pan across a zoomed out image. In a major Project, I may have sub-folders with 4 different sizes of image - based precisely on what I will need to do with that/those image(s). If I will not need to do any animation on any images, then I use that Project Preset (including the correct PAR) and they work perfectly. This also eliminates any unnecessary overhead on the system.
    Good luck,

  • New aspect ratio crop.

    I have a PC using Windows 7.  Today I have upgraded Lightroom 5 from Lightroom 4.  When using the new Aspect Ratio crop the guides appear as expected.  When I go to the top centre area of the crop, instead of getting the black lines with the arrows (as you do with the corners) all I get are two white arrows. This means I can only drag the entire crop box to a smaller size.  The line will not move down to the aspect guide as you expect.  Can someone inform me as to what the issue is? 

    If i understand your problem correctly, you have to unlock the padlock in the crop tool to get this behavior.
