Can I format a finished movie so that it will fit within a normal tv....

I finished a 2 hr movie with many 'music video titles' throughout and when I went to play it on my TV (which is not HD or plasma) nearly half of all my titles were cut off by the edge of the screen and even the bottom of the screen. Is there a way to 'reformat' so that the entire iMovie HD screen will fit within my TV screen and all the remaining space will be filled with black? Basically, I need to zoom out my entire project.
thanks in advance

What you've discovered is known as the TV Safe area. You can view it in iDVD prior to burning but iMovie doesn't show the area.
MPEG Streamclip can "rescue" your Project so you don't have to redo all of your titles. It can "zoom" (in or out) and then export your Project back to DV Stream for use in iDVD.
Trial and error on how to use the feature. The software is free.

    You will need to boot from another source: a bootable clone, your old internal in an external enclosure, or your install disk.

  • How can I name a button/movie so that an external script can read it?

    Hi,
    I have a javascript on my website that is called on any click. The script reads the name of the clicked item. This works fine for all jpg/gif images with a name, but how can I name a flash movie in such a way that this script can read it? I tried several things, the name (and id) in the published parameters, the name of the instance, of the button, etc. But nothing works?
    The external javascript is this:
    var theName;
    function grabName(e){
    var targ;
    if (!e) var e = window.event;
    if (e.target) targ = e.target;
    else if (e.srcElement) targ = e.srcElement;
    if (targ.nodeType == 3) {targ = targ.parentNode;}
    theName=targ.name;
    if(theName){GoogleCounter(theName);}
    document.onclick=grabName;
    Thanks,
    Irene

    You should look into using the ExternalInterface class to have Flash talk to javascript in the web page that contains it.  Here's a link that provides some information on that...

  • I have a click wheel iPod from 2006 and want a new armband for it.  Where can I order one that I can be certain is the correct size? OR, how can I tell if the ones I see online will fit this older model?

    I have a click wheel iPod from '06 and want a new armband for it.  Where can I order one that I can be certain will fit this very outdated model??

    I lost equipment due to lightening strike several years ago, which also had old equipment and was not available. I gave insurance images and provided original receipts (my purchases were made on Apple.com), and Apple provided electronic copies of the receipts. You may want to contact Apple and check, if they can provide a copy. Insurance may depreciate the original value. I was offered residual value which i used to buy newer replacements, and provided the receipts for replacements back to insurance.

  • I want to put an image in my movie so that it will fill in the black edges on the sides. How do I do this?

    I have a standard definition video I put into iMovie and set it to "Fit" so that it did not cutoff the top and bottom. Now I have black bars on each side. I am going to create an image, or two if need be, to cover those black edges. I cannot figure out how to insert those image and have it not picture in picture, greenscreen, or cutaway.

  • Another burst A1189 battery that doesn't fit within the recall

    Battery model A1189, Serial No. 6N64905XW4HB. Was doing the abrupt shut offs, started about a month ago. Battery Update and all other patches were current. Now its bulged out and is now unsafe if usable at all. But I guess that's my problem, not Apple's. Sorry your power source is obviously defective, but we can't help you. Great service.
    Whats scary is the new ones that are now inside the case, where will those have room to bulge out of? And will Apple say you're SOL if you don't fit what they determined to be the range of serial numbers that were bad?

    Glad you got your issue sorted.

    Apple doesn't make their own batteries. They use batteries made by Sony, SMP, etc. If your colleagues want to discuss the batteries in Lenovo laptops, which you call 'pretty decent', you might refer them to this article discussing the recall of over half a million batteries in Lenovo laptops, and the related incident at the LA International Airport in which a Lenovo T43 caught fire due to a faulty battery.
    Just some food for thought...
    As a side note, a brand new Lenovo T400 that my work's IT department issued to me last week died this morning - it fails to boot beyond the initial BIOS screen. That Lenovo was my fifth work-provided PC laptop in the past 3 years. My 3-year old MBP is working just perfectly...and I'm still productive at work at this very moment because I'm running an image of a corporate Windows installation via Parallels on my MBP.

  • Can I sync iPhone with movies on another Mac?

    My main computer is a PB but I do not have enough space to store movies on this machine. iTunes on this machine has all my music but my movies are on another Mac (G5) on my network. Is it possible to get iTunes on my PB to see movies on my G5 so that I can sync my iPhone with movies on that machine?
    Thanks
    Tony

    Your iPhone and itunes on one machine have a unique connection. Device information is kept on your computer and will recognise that phone. To connect the phone to another machine will create a new unique connection between the two, and everything you sync will mirror that machine. You can try syncing with one machine, all your music and stuff but not movies and on the other machine uncheck all selections for syncing other than movies. So to summarise. Machine 1, sync all things except movies. and on machine 2 sync nothing but movies, leaving everything else unsynced. It may not work, but it's worth a try, it won't mess anything up.

  • Can't format my new HDD (WD3200bevt)

    i bought a new internal hard drive yesterday and i found that i can't format it (i am sure that the new HDD set in my MBP corrected). i used disk utility to erase it, then says "file system formatter failed." i googled everything but, nothing. i tried to follow the instruction i googled that change the partition type to Guid, however it says again and again too("file system formatter failed."). it almost drive me crazy. i don't know how to solve it.
    P.S. i find i can format it into FAT.
    my HDD is WD3200BEVT. also i have a wd5000bevt, it worked beautiful.

    Hi there,
    I don't have direct experience of your problem but have suggestions.
    1. Try some of the things suggested on this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1288978&start=0&tstart=0
    2. In disk utility click on the logical name of the HD in the side bar (in my case that's a long name with code for the drive and size), select this and not the partition name! then click on the partition tab. From the drop down select one partition. From options select GUID. Then the filesystem as HFS+ Journaled etc. Then click erase. Does that make any difference?
    3. Or download Ubuntu and try and re-format the disk using the installer.

  • Make a DVD and export finished movie back to videocam

    I have new iMac with Maverick and iMovie 10.0.2  I was great with iMovie 6-so easy. I have tried to review previous discussions.  My new Mac does not have iDVD. (is there anyway to put iDVD in the new computer?)  I just want to make a DVD of finished movie so I can play it on a TV. Unfortunately the new Mac only makes an Mp4. Please can someone give me step by step instruction how to make a DVD. I will get Toast Titanium if necessary but would still need step by step. I have looked at online tutorials but I can't put it together. I am much older since trying the new iMovie. So many extra steps, etc.
    Also, how can I share the finished movie with my video cam (i.e. move it back to my videocam or its SD).  I can move it to CNN, Vimeo, Facebook, etc. but not back to my camera like it was when so easy with iMovie 6.  Thank you.

    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?

  • I got an iphone 5 about 6 months ago.  I went to apple 2 months ago with a broken lock button and they have me a new one.  My lock button recently broke again so can I go back to apple and get another one seeing that it is still within my first year?

    I got the iphone 5 six months ago. The lock button broke two months ago so I went to apple and got a new one.  My lock button just recently broke so can I go get another phone seeing that it is still within the first year? Or will they not give me another one seeing I already got a new one? I've had the phone for six months and the lock button has already broke twice.

    There is no limit on warranty replacements.
    As long as it is defective,not damaged

  • How can I get back my Word docs now that Pages will not open them?

    How can I retrieve my Word docs now that Pages will not open them in Mavericks.  I have a brand new iMac with my evolving manuscript for a book transsferred from my now defunct MacBook Pro by external drive.  Pages tells me that "PowerPC apps are "no longer supported" and Mavericks will not open Microsoft Office, though it is still in Applications.  Would really appreciate ANY help!

    You will have to have an app that will open them first, you can upgrade to Office for Mac 2011 which is an Intel based app then open the docs and retry. Your docs were created with extremely old version of Office for Mac, version 2004!
    Another possiblity is  using a web based compatible MS Office for Mac app and see if it will open your doc and then save it, then attempt to re-open in Pages.

    Hi
    iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    About double on DL DVDs.
    Yours Bengt W
