Aspect ratio wrong and different from QT in full screen mode

Hi all,
I created a video using anamorphic records from my camcorder in Final Cut Express HD. QT displays the final movies (MPEG 4 H.264) just fine in either partial or full screen mode. When played in Front Row, the video height is stretched. Any ideas why or how to fix?
Movies are being played on a Mini connected to a 40" LED TV with 1366x768 resolution.
Thanks in advance.

It is true you can change the properties but it appears that Front Row expects all movies to have square pixels and thus displays all pixels as square. QT did/does understand the anamorphic properties and display movies correctly.
As an aside to all, the previous solution was to generate all movies at 853x480. This results in a green bar on the 853rd column (at least when generating using Final Cut Express HD). I regenerated the movies at 852x480 and the bar went away. No other noticable effects.

    I have an IPod 2nd generation I bought from a pawn shop.  It worked for a day but now when I try to charge it, it keeps switching back and forth from the large full screen icon of a low battery and a lighting bolt below to the blue screen with the apple symbol in the middle.  I had it on charge all night but still dead.

  • How to disable app from opening into full screen mode

    Dear all I'm on OSX 10.8.4 and every time i start an app it'll go to full screen even after quiting it and opening the app again. Is there a way to stop this from happening

    Full-screen mode is controlled by you. If you take it OUT of full-screen mode (go to the very top right of the screen, wait for the menubar to drop down, click the blue inward-facing arrow icon), and THEN quit the app, it will remember the preference and open in normal windowed-mode next time.

  • Apple id in iPhone is wrong and different from my real Apple id

  • In Win 10 technical preview cannot determine the full device display area and aspect ratio; the dimensions are needed to create full-screen bitmap.

    While Windows.Current.Bounds returns the application windows size, in order to create a full-screen bitmap my app would need to retrieve the full display area  of the device. I cannot even get the aspect ratio.
    Pre-Win10, using Windows.Current.Bounds I can create a bitmap of whatever size application window the user is seeing. When the user is showing my app at full screen, I can therefore get the full display area and aspect ratio of the device and create
    a full-screen bitmap.
    With Win10, the user would need to know to hide the taskbar and also display at full-screen before an app can retrieve the display area and aspect ratio using Windows.Current.Bounds.
    Is there any way to get the display area and aspect ratio of the device without asking the user to fully maximize the application window?

    Rob, Is this forum best way to get my suggestion to the development team?
    Before Win10 it's obvious to the user that full-screen is or is not being used. When I create the bitmap, I create it to fit the application window. When the app is displayed full screen, the bitmap will be full screen. Also, the app starts full-screen
    so I can detect the display area at startup if I need to.
    With Win10, to the user the app "looks like" it is full screen with the taskbar displayed even though it's not really full screen.
    Yes, Windows.Current.Bounds does work the same, but I believe that in Win10 determining the full display area will be useful and not just the application window.

  • Aspect ratio wrong when importing from QuickTime Pro

    Movies shot with Cannon still camera came out sideways. I used QuickTime Pro used to rotate them. They then look fine. However, when I import them into iMovie HD6, they remain vertical but are flattened down. I am sure it's a settings thing but this recent PC convert needs help!

    So you shot in "portrait" instead of landscape?
    I hope these are 320X240 instead of 640X480 files.
    Easiest fix it to create an all black image file and use it as a background in QuickTime Pro.
    Make the image 640X480. Import with QT Pro.
    Select all and Copy.
    Switch to your 320X240 movie (now 240X320), select all and "Add to Selection & Scale (Edit menu).
    Open Movie Properties window.
    Highlight the video track and adjust its offset and dimensions. Set its track "layer number" lower than the image file layer number. Negative numbers can be used.
    Once happy with the file export to DV Stream.
    Use the .dv file in iMovie.

  • Mission control animates in the wrong direction when you start in full screen mode

    When I am in fullscreen mode, open mission control, and swipe left to right the animation moves in the wrong direction. The correct space appears, but it animates as if I swiped right to left. All subsequent swipes work correctly until I close mission control and follow the same steps again.
    Whats going on?

    Go into system prefs trackpad then uncheck scroll direction.

  • Please help: Linking from PDF to other PDF's that open in a new window... but NOT in full screen mode!?

    Hi All,
    I have a project where a PDF is viewed in full screen mode when opened, from within this I wish to link to a variety of other PDF's.
    Creating the links is simple, however I can not work out how to control the new window so that the new PDF opens with the toolbars and menus, ie not in full screen mode.
    Any help would be apreciated, google is not my friend on this one.
    LB.

    Hi Thanks for the response.
    I thought I had, but what seemed to be happening was that the Linked PDF was
    adopting the full screen property of the original PDF. I'll give it another
    go and let you know.

  • Full Screen mode and two monitors

    I consider this an oddity in Lion. I have two monitors. If I have Mail open in the left one and let's say Address book on the right one, and I put Mail into full screen mode, the other monitor goes gray. So . . . no way to have one monitor in full screen mode and still use the second monitor!
    RW

    This is Apple's warped sense of humor about how full screen should work.  Aparrently the designer only uses tablets so has no clue how the real world works.
    This is totally hated by most  power users but,  alas,  Apple aren't doing anything about fixing this patently broken design,  let alone admitting that they could have made a mistake.
    Your options are to either put up with it or back out to Snow Leopard.

  • HOW DO I GET OUT OF FULL SCREEN MODE AND BACK TO THE HOME PAGE?

    I was at a website and expanded the view to full screen mode. i pressed ESCAPE but it would not return the screen to smaller size. I had to press CONTROL+ALT+DELETE end the session. Now, when I restart Firefox it wants to restore the session. I have no status bar at the top and returning to home page. I hope this information helps.

    Thank you very much! I tried that already but did not move the cursor high enough.
    Dear Apple designers: please bring back something like a button, to help those who can not find this type of thing. Minimalistic design should be in such way that you find how to do these type of things without going to a forum.

  • Reply and forward not working in full screen mail app

    In the full screen version of the Mail application in Lion I can't reply or forward any messages.  I have to go back to the old view in order to respond to mail.  Is anyone else having this problem and if so, is there a fix?  The full screen apps and new mail program were a major reason I upgraded..

    I regularly experience the same problem. It also occurs with Compose.
    Sometimes Compose, Reply and Forward work fine in full screen mode. But frequently they don't, and I have to exit full screen mode to regain functionality. I have not been able to detect any pattern.

  • Connect from Windows through screen sharing (VNC) and get out of full screen mode

    How do you get out of fullscreen mode?
    I connect to a OS X Lion computer through a Windows computer (which actually also is remote).
    I use TightVNC software on Windows to connect. It's the only VNC software I am able to connect to OS X Lion with. TightVNC is kind of weak otherwise in the way that it does not have features for OS X targets - like you can't send "command" key pushes, or even Ctrl pushes and other F2 etc keys just don't really work.
    Which means I cannot exit full screened apps by way of Command-F or similar. Moving the mouse cursor to the top of the screen also does not pop down the menu (although on some occasions I have been able to do this, I'm not sure how and it's terribly hard to reproduce).
    I'd need a on-screen way (like a button to click) to get out of full screen mode.
    Any ideas???

    Are you using TightVNC because you found it was the only VNC client that worked well with Mac OS X built-in VNC server?  Or is there another reason?
    Vine Server (aka OSXvnc - free to use the server)
    <http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11283/vine-server-%26-viewer>
    plays nicer with 3rd party VNC clients, so that you could try any number of other WIndows VNC clients.  Maybe one of those will do a better job of sending Command/Control/Option keys.
    But if you do install Vine server make sure you turn off Mac OS X Screen Sharing (and/or Remote Managment) so that you do not conflict with port 5900.  Or via Vine Server configs, tell Vine Server to use a different port number, such as 5901, then make sure you connect to the correct port from your Windows client.

  • Tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    tried synching iphone for the first time on new PC and got error followed by itunes logo and USB cable picture. No idea what went wrong and now phone is in this screen locked. please help!

    I tried connecting to iTunes and neither the PC nor iTunes recognizes the device. I went through all the troubleshooting on the Apple website for this issue and nothing worked. I've reinstalled iTunes, the driver, everything and still can't get either the PC or iTunes to recognize the phone.  I don't know what else to do :-( any help or suggestions are highly appreciated!
    I would hate to have lost all my info, especially contacts and calendar items since I have no idea what was backed up prior to the phone getting locked on this screen. I've been told that my only option is to go to the phone carrier and they will reset it for me, but that means it will wipe out all the info.
    I hope someone has a fix other than that one.
