Compressor outputs white screen for video?

Hi Folks,
Just bought FCP Studio 3 a few days ago.
I'm on a new mac pro quad 2.66 running latest rev of SL.
Here's the deal:
I took a 1 hour 33 minute edited DV movie from within FCP 7.
output a reference QT file.
went into QT and saved the text files (if i don't, i won't save the chapters).
following this great video for setting up a cluster between my 2 mac pros
http://vimeo.com/1799266
chose the Best 90 minute DVD setting for ac3 and mpeg2 at 6.2
ran it.
video is completely white. sound is there, but i don't get it?
when I go into compressor and click on my video file, I can see the footage in the screen on the right hand side. I thought maybe the reference file didn't include the video (ie. maybe I selected it wrong), but it's there.
Any ideas?
I ran a search on 'white screen' and 'white video', but nothing came up?
Cheers,
keebler

Hi folks,
just wanted to let you know that I believe the problem stemmed from me not choosing the DV NTSC 48 khz setting instead of 'current settings'. Once I chose DV etc... it was good to go.

Iphone 3gs shows white screen for a second and reboots.

While I play games, watch videos or do anything, the iphone displays a totally white screen for less than a second and then it reboots. After this it starts normally and then this all happens again after about 10-20 mins.
Plz give me any suggestions to fix it. What is the problem? any hardware prob??

Hello, noyz23il.
I would agree that this is a unique issue. I have attached an article that goes over basic troubleshooting that may help. In this article, see the sections referring to display, camera and blank white screen. If this does not resolve the issue, please see the last section regarding "issue not resolved".

I have a white screen for imessage. Everything else works but I can't do anything with imessage. How can I fix this?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and sign out and sign back in
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open, now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Green screen for videos and movies

i upgraded all the software for itunes and quicktime. using another post for 'green screen for video previews', i modified some settings in quicktime and one of them now has strips of static across the green. quite frustrating...

I could be off the mark, but you may need to install the version of iTunes here: iTunes for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards).
And then repair/reinstall QuickTime 7.7.6 for Windows.
If that works for you then the next time Apple Software Update or iTunes tells you there is a new version revisit the first link. It should be updated with a new "for older video cards" version that will work with QuickTime.

IMac 27" 3.06ghz white screen for 40 seconds on start up before grey apple

when i start up my iMac 27" 3.06GHZ i get a white screen for 40 seconds before the grey apple appears and it boots up.
If anyone else is experiencing this or has a solution it would be great if you could reply.
Cheers.

Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum, i have recently bought a new imac 27" i7, i don't have any problems with white screens when starting up, the imac runs great, however when i try playing any games thats when the problems start. i installed X-plane it first worked without any problems but not in full resolution, i upgraded the resolution to the maximum imac resolution and from that moment every time i start the game the screen turns white you can hear the imac starting the game and even for a while sound appears, but then after 30 seconds the programs fails and you get a typical apple message.
i have also tried installing need for speed, here i didn't change anything to the graphics however the problem occurred straight away. white screen then the sound of the games menu and crash. did anyone else have this problem? is there a solution to this? i would like to apologize if this matter has been discussed in earlier forums. However i hope there is someone whom is able to give me a helping hand here. Whats wrong???? thanks ruben

White Screen: xf86-video-ati and Compiz After Trying fglrx? [SOLVED]

I have an ATI Radeon X1200 graphics card. I recently tired the ATI proprietary catalyst driver (and catalyst-utils) from the AUR. They did not work well for me, so I uninstalled them. I had run "aticonfig -initial" but, after removing catalyst and catalyst-utils I restored my old xorg.conf. For some reason, with xf86-video-ati set up again, compiz starts, but goes to a white screen. I can see and move my cursor. Everything functions normally, I just can't see anything. I right clicked my desktop and created folders as a test. When I rebooted without compiz, the clicks had been received and folders had been created. How can I fix this? I'm using Gnome (if that means anything). Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Fixed It!! I had to reinstall xorg, mesa, libgl, xf86-video-ati, and ati-dri for some reason.

White Screen when Video Plays

I am using Premiere Elements 9 software. When i add clips to the timeline and hit play, the video does not play in playback screen, instead i just get a white screen. Once i hit the puase button, the picture of the frame the playerhead is on goes back onto the screeen, but as soon as i hit the play button, the screen turns white again. I have updated my graphics card drivers and the prject settings are correct. What is causeing the issue?
This is what i get when i hit the play button:
tim

Thank you for that info. You have got a pretty recent (did not check, but that might be the latest) video driver. I sort of expected to see a date about 6 - 8 mos. ago. If there IS a newer driver, I would definitely try that. Also, as over the years, both nVidia and ATI/AMD have issued drivers, that were just bad with Adobe programs, I keep older (known good) drivers on my HDD, just in case I have to roll-back.
Do you have a Dell, HP, Lenovo or Toshiba computer? The reason that I ask is that those companies very often re-wrap the nVidia (and ATI/AMD) drivers, to work with their tweaked hardware.
With the latest video driver, and that Canon footage, if you have the proper Project Preset, things should edit fine. The smoothness of editing/playback will be heavily dependent on your CPU's speed, but should not affect the display.
Good luck,

IPod Video - white screen, no video, won't turn off either

Greetings.
I have an iPod video that recently has been giving me quite a bit of trouble. The lcd doesn't display the menu or anything 95% of the time. The backlight turns on so it looks like it's powered, but I can't see the menu or anything else. When I turn it off, dark lines, sometimes horizontal, sometimes vertical go across the screen. The lines also sometimes appear as colored lines when the screen is lit.
Also it doesn't want to turn off via holding the center and menu buttons. It will go dark, then I'll feel some minor mechanical vibrations followed by an audible click (not the wheel). If I let the buttons go after about 10 seconds the screen turns on again to white screen without any video.
If I keep holding down the center and menu buttons, then it will continue to do cycles of the mechanical movements followed by the audible click, then do the movements and click again and again. Once I let go, the white screen reappears.
I've tried accessing the diagnostic mode, but that doesn't work since it just starts up in the white screen mode with no video.
I'm way past my warrenty. I've already opened my iPod several times to ensure all of the wires are firmly attached. I think its the LCD, but since it has trouble turning completely off, I wasn't sure if that means it's actually the logic board.
Any suggestions? Would it be a smart to try replacing the LCD screen? Or is it R.I.P. for my iPod?
Thanks!

Hopefully the battery has leak after long disused.
Recharge the iPod battery for at least 4 hours, normally it would take 30 minutes of recharge before the screen comes to live.
Disconnect the iPod, safely, after charging.
If your battery is good and can recharge fully.
Hard Reset the iPod - Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Select your preferred language.
Connect your iPod back to the Mac, and see if it is recognised by iTunes or Finder
Good Luck! and you will need it when syncing your iPod.
Here is the Apple Support Article for reference

Bright white screen when video is paused.

Hello All,
I've looked everywhere for a solution to this problem and there has been no previous discussion. Basically, whenever the Video is paused, instead of the paused frame being shown, there is a bright white screen. It is worth nothing that this issue happens when I use the Darwin Streaming server. If I serve the video using IIS, the issue is not present.
This issue using the Quicktime plugin is present in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE.
If someone could push me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Brendon,
What has she done to set up AIM on her end ?
Has she enabled it though her XP firewall ?
Has she enable the ports AIM needs in her modem ?

My Ipod touch just downloaded IO6 but when I press the music button it goes to an entirely white screen for about a minute then reverts to the main ipod screen. I cannot access my music or podcasts. Have restarted both. What should I do?

Computer and Ipod have both been restarted. Video has the same white screen problem. THIS IS NOT THE WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH - just when I press the music or video button.

- Try connecting to comutr and then try to restor.
- If still white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

White Screen when "video" chatting with PC

My friend is running AIM 5.9 on Windows XP and when I try to video chat with her, all she sees is a white screen, but still can hear me. I have rebooted my computer, and so has she. We used to not be able to connect at all, but she rebooted and now she can hear me.
What should I do?

White screen for ipod touch

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset (both buttons) and connect to computer and restore if necessary.

My ipod touch won't turn on at all it goes from a black screen to a white screen for a short while?

My ipod screen wont turn on it just stays on a blank screen and sometimes a white screen comes up

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If you can't fully turn the iPod off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If not success then time for an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store.
