Can't get SD DV to view correctly on widescreen HD DVD player/TV

I'm having a problem getting a DV project to look right on HD setups. The video should generate "windowbox/pillarbox" black bars on the side of the screen to preserve the original DV aspect ratio. Instead, the DVD player/TV expands the video making everyone in the video look bloated. There don't seem to be settings on either the TV or the DVD player to auto-correct this. What do I need to do in DVD Studio Pro to get the content to play in its true aspect ratio, with black bars on the sides? Apologies if this has been answered before, but I have not been able to find posts on this particular topic.

On my set up these are either/both the function of the set up menus for the television and set top player

  • How Can I get my Chapter Markers to function on a standard DVD Player

    I imported the movie(iMovie 09) into iDVD 09. Added the chapters in iDVD as advised. Everything works beautifully in the preview mode. I burned it to DVD using Verbatim -R at 1X speed as advised and VOILA, everything works beautifully. All the buttons work. All of the chapter buttons work. Perfectly----
    As long as I play it on A computer.
    But as soon as i try it on a DVD player---everything works perfectly except for the chapter buttons. I can see and select each chapter. The rectangle appears but they wont connect to the chapter at all. The chapter will not play.
    On a computer it works fine just not on a DVD Player.
    Ideas?

    Hi
    Just thinking.
    • Did You try more than one stand alone DVD-player ?
    • When You burned Your DVD - Did the internal Hard disk have more than 25Gb free space
    iDVD and Mac OS Can't address any other for it's temp files - pretty important.
    If so I would.
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.

  • I just moved my Itunes content to a computer with Win 7. I can only get "songs" in list view. How do I correct this so I can see Artist and Genre also in list view. The box to show all list in list view is checked but it only shows album view

    I just moved all my itunes content to a windows 7 computer. I can only get "songs" in list view. Genre and Artist show as Album views. The box in preferences is checked so that all lists should show as list. How can I get a list view for Artists and Genre also?

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?

    Hi All,
    Can we get data from business views  in CR 2008/XI?
    If its possible, pls let us know how to get connect with Business View in both of these versions and what is the tool that we have to use to create Business Views.
    Thank you,
    Krishna Pingali

    Hi Krishna,
    Crystal Reports/BusinessObjects Enterprise ( BOE ) Business Views can only be created using the BV build which comes with BOE and installed using the Work Station installer for BOE. for both XI and 2008.
    You cannot mix these two versions on the same PC not can one talk to the other, the BV designer must match the same version as BOE. XI ( version 11.0 ) is no longer available but if you mean XI R2 ( version 11.5 ) then it still is.
    It's not completely clear which Business View you are referring to? BOE has a Business View Designer so not sure if this is just a naming problem or not? If you are referring to the BOE Business View Designer then the above is true. If your reference is about some other BV designer or data source then you need to clarify.
    Contact our Sales department for pricing and availability.
    Thank you
    Don

    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.

  • I have a mac OSX desktop version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get a full screen view in Safari when I ask for help the response is use the arrows on the top right of the screen ... I don't have them  ... can anyone help?

    Hi Mary,
    I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
    I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved  all the way to the left.  Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

  • My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad

    My maps are not showing buildings with clarity. They have no color. It's like my maps are outdated but my ipad is fully updated. I can't get the option of views in my ipad. Like the downtown view and stuff. Please help.

    What locations are you seeing these "problems"? If the satellite photos are older or not as clear, you may see some of what you describe. Take a look at one of the major cities and see if they are also appearing as you describe. Someplace like New York, London, Paris. Those are among the cities that seem to be updated most frequently.
    Incidentally, the maps are web/cloud based and not contained within the maps app on your iPad, so regardless of the version of your app, you will still get the most current map available.

  • I can't  get my program to run correctly

    I made a calculator but i can't get the values to update correctly. If you run my code you'll see what I'm talking about. The value number isn't updating and I can only enter in a double digit number (using the buttons) as the initial number. I think its a problem with my boolean statement, but I've tried everything I could think of and things only get worse. (I still haven't figured out the decimal button either.)

    I am no expert, in fact I am a very newbie. But I was trying to get my code to update too, and I didn't know I had to call the validate() function...try doing that, if you haven't already, also read up on validate() from the Component (or Container) API. I didn't really look through your code, I wouldn't be able to keep it in my head anyway.

  • Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view?

    Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view? I have Safari 5.0.6 and QuickTime Player 7.7. Thanks

    Hi, Daryl -
    If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
    Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts.

    I have a football game recorded on a DVD+R disc that I was trying to view on my MacBook using DVD Player.  The video comes onto the screen, but immediately freezes, and then disappears.  An error message comes up saying that DVD player unexpectedly quit.  My MacBook operating system is Mac OS X, version 10.5.8.  DVD Player is App version 5.0.3, framework version 5.0.7.
    However, the DVD+R works on both my Dad's and my brother's laptops.  My Dad's laptop is an iBook G4 with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.3.9.  The DVD Player is version 4.0.  My brother's laptop is a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X operating system, version 10.7.2.  The DVD Player is App version 5500.26.1 and framework version 5.5.0.  The DVD+R plays fine on their laptops, but will not play on mine.

    Lao Bo,
    yes, you can locate and copy a file from your HD to a USB key using UNIX commands. If you know the exact name of the file which you’re trying to locate, try this:
    find / -iname filename -print
    This command will search your entire internal disk for the particular filename. If you know that it’s within a particular user account, then you can save search time with this variation:
    find /Users/username -iname filename -print
    Either variation of this command will print all files found which have the given filename. Presuming that you’re able to identify the correct file, you can copy it to a USB key using the command
    cp -p filename_returned_by_find /Volumes/USB_volume
    If you’re not sure which volume name your USB key has, this command will show you what the possibilities are:
    ls /Volumes
    Please let me know if you have any trouble with these commands.

  • I can't get PSE 11 to create correct catalog

    If I open PSE 11 & go to catalog Manager it lists avaiable for all users My Catalog & under this it shows My Catalog 2 (current).  If I then select either the results are exactly the same NOTHING AT ALL DISPLAYS.  I can see on the right hand side of page a list of tags that I had previously used.  Clicking on anything at all produces no results whatsoever.  I note that the catalog manager doesn't show where these files are on my machine.  It even offers to look for others but doesn't give a clue as to where it going to look.
    If I open PSE 10  & go to catalog Manager available for all users is My Catalog (2) (current).  In this catalog I have all of my pictures & I can call them all up with the various tags that I had created for people,places events ETC.
    It appears to me that the conversion from 10 to 11 didn't go correctly.  I can't use version 11 as is as its useless. How do I fix this mess?  I'm assuming that the start should be pointing version 11 to the same version that 10 is using.  How do I get version 11 to find what is called what version 10 is using 'My Catalog (2) (current). I can't even find 'My Catalog (2) (current)' when I ask Windows 7 explorer to find it.  Is it in some other folder. Is there something else that I should be considering or is there an easier to get Version 11 to work correctly?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for the help. I tried the repair on PSE 10 which it said was unnecessary but this didn't result in any changes at all to that catalog.
    You did do the repair and optimize anyway and reconvert to PSE 11, correct? Just confirming. You son't see anything change, this just cleans up pointers etc. for the conversion. I do this on principle, it sometimes works magic.
    As for catalog 11, I did as you suggested & by changing some of the view settings got some results.  These weren't what I expected or needed.  As I said under manager catalogs I have 2 different ones listed.  I have set view to display everything, at least temporarily so as not to miss anything.
    Do you have "media analysis" on in PSE 11(a Preference). If so, why don't you turn it off for now.
    The 2 different catalogs show different totals for items in file,10073 & 12032. I only see thumbnails if I click display all media. 
    Regarding the 2 catalogs, it is probably different conversions of them. Do either agree with PSE 10?
    I would suggest renaming the catalog in PSE 10 to a different name. Converting to PSE 11, then deleteing the other catalogs. That way there is no confusion over the catalogs.
    If I click places for instance many of the thumbnails are displaying people. This is despite the fact that if I hover the cursor over the icon at bottom right of thumbnail no mention is made of any place.  If I go to right hand side of page & just click any tag for any person or place nothing happens. If I click events I see nothing at all.  Also some of the pictures are displaying the wrong date under them which makes me thinks that they were found elsewhere & just imported.
    I don't use people, places etc. so I am at a loss here. You do use them in PSE 10 correct? I don't think I will be able to help here. It may all work out though.
    PSE will not import files unless they are in the catalog originally. Let's not worry about the date issue right now.
    When you click the tag you are clicking the ">" arrow. This was a big change from my PSE 8 to PSE 11.
    In other words everything in the catalog is nuts.  I agree that what's best is to perhaps just delete  the 2 catalogs & get version 11 to just create a new catalog from scratch. 
    The only problem that I foresee is if I tell to 11 to delete the 2 catalogs where do I get the same catalog that 10 is using which it's calling (My catalog (2) (current)?   Since version 10 is using that one.

    I am currently on Windows 8.1.  When I try to install the printer driver for my OfficeJet Pro L7650 I get the following error message:  "System cannot find file specified".  
    I have read that there is a scrubber software that will solve this issue.  How can I get this software?

    You can get that HP program here.
    Restart your computer.
    Next run the HP Printer Install Wizard program found here.

  • Trying to start developing but can't get the compiter set up correctly

    Hey guys, I'm following the starling tutorial step by step (http://tv.adobe.com/watch/starting-with-starling/starting-with-starling-introduction-and-s etup/" but I always keep getting errors no matter what, seems like I just can't get the sources/new libs to work correctly...honestly I don't even know how to get the standard libs working but I have programming experience so I'm familiar with functions and arrays etc.
    Here's what the compiler poops out as of right now, (I have tried to set it up numerous times...)

    What are the paths to the Starling files and what are the compiler options you are using?

  • How can I get the File, Edit, View, Windows ect to show in Organiser

    While on various tutorials they all show a
    menu of file, edid, view ect in the top left hand corner of the screen, mine shows only a small square box that when clicked give you the option of restore, close minimise ect. How can I get the file edit menu to show. Should have said in Photoshop Elements 9.

    Thanks Barbara that's done the trick
