Correct iPad video dimensions?

I am putting together a video presentation to be played on an iPad. I was under the impression that the iPad's video dimensions are 1280x720 - my video is therefore 1280x729 pixels... However, when I play it on the iPad, it is played with black bars top and bottom - the video doesn't fill the entire screen....
Clearly I'm doing something wrong somewhere - this is the first time I've done this - can someone please point me in the right direction!?
Thanks very much!

Found the fix.
If the reboot doesn't fix it.
If the headphoens work find, but no external speakers.
If the double-click and page right to the software mute, doesn't show the sound knob - just the brightness
If your pop-up shows "Docking Station"
Then, the problem is very likely a dirty connector. The iPad/iPhone/iPod connector uses a resistor value to determine if the device is connected to an external 'speaker'. There are a range of resistances, for a range of products. This is known as the Connector Pin 21 issue.
Take some windex on a que-tip, or perhaps a Windex paper scrub and rub it on the bottom connector port. Somehow, "something" has gotten on those contacts, and it is pulling the voltage on pin #21 down - so that the iPad "thinks" it's connected to an external speaker - this will disable the internal speaker circuitry, as well as the internal speaker volume controls.
Do not over-saturate and short out your iPad. Do not throw it in the sink, do not use the kitchen faucet to flush it out. A Que-tip with a few drops of Windex (or other gentle cleaner) should work just fine. Takes all of 30 seconds - and magically, the volume knob appeared and everything worked just fine.

IPad Video app not sorting correctly

All,
Long time reader, first time poster - but I cannot seem to find a resolution to my issue, I fail to see how this issue could go unresolved for as long as I have had it;
The iPad video App when streaming from a home shared iTunes account does not sort TV shows as per the TV Show / Season / Episode attributes in the metadata. Is there a fix for this other than re-entering the metadata to the Artist attribute - I have a moderately sized library and this would consume my attention for far too long, not to mention its double handling!!!
Surely the introduction of a sort function on iOS devices and Apple TV is not too much to expect.
Thanks
PGEELONG

Actually there is a fix, that I found from another thread. Plug in yor device to the computer as it's faster. Un synch all your music from the iPad, which will remove it from the Pad. When that's done, turn the music synch back on, putting your tunes back on the device.
The music library is corrupted and this will fix that. A regular synch will not work.

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

UPDATE to this CURRENT LOCATION on iPad / iPhone / Find My iPhone issue -
I have a iPad that kept showing my OLD adress in Orlando Fl on BOTH google maps and Apple Maps, even after I moved up north to South Carolina. I tried everything. I then tried my FIND MY iPHONE on my Macbook Pro and same thing. Annoying.
This evening I set up my BACK TO MY MAC so i could acess my Time Capsule from work. After I set it up, and just for grins, i renewed the DHCP Lease while doing this. After the Time Capsule rebooted, my iPad displayed the correct location immediately. My macbook pro was still showing the OLD location in my FIND MY iPHONE. Did a restart and BAM, its all good.
Not sure if it was the renew or restart of the Airport Extreme Time Capsule.
Hope this helps.

How to get video dimensions?

I'm using a ParallelElement with multiple videos. How can I get each videos dimensions? There is no width/height attribute for a VideoElement and I had no luck using the metaData either. Seems like such a basic task but I've been trying for hours now.

I guess correct video size is available only after metadata arrives (after playback start). To get video size try to acquire DisplayObjectTrait of VideoElement and look into mediaWidth/mediaHeight values.
You may want to listen to DisplayObjectEvent.MEDIA_SIZE_CHANGE events from that display object trait - it fires when video metadata arrives.

Common video dimensions and bit rates for dynamic streaming?

I'm going to be converting my videos to flv and am trying to decide what to use for video dimensions and bit rates. Some of my users have slow computers and connections so I'm thinking 150 on the low end.
Is there a common practice? What has worked well for you in the past?

Hello MrWizzer
I am not sure what FMS version you are currently using.
Well, if you look at the sampe vod folder that ships with FMS4.5, it has files encoded @ 150kbps, 500 kbps, 700 kbps, 1000 kbps, 1500 kbps.
I am sure that all of these files stream perfectly fine given the correct bandwidth environment.
Its totally depend upon the FMS hosting service provider depending upon the user base of a particular provider.
You need to judge what kind of BW is available to your viewers and put the files encoded at appropriate bitrates.

Extra Wide Video Dimensions

I am by no means a Premiere power user, but I've been creating pretty simple videos for the web for several years.
Recently I've had a strange problem with the widescreen output dimensions, where the video becomes "extra wide" compared to the source file. I've spent a lot of time trying different things to fix this, with no luck.
Details:
1) A client sends us a .vob file they capture from TV (yes, they have approval to use the clips online).
2) We run the clip through Cinematize (output to .mov because the .avi output always fails). The original clip is in a widescreen format (720 x 480).
3) We import the .mov files into Premiere to adjust anything needed and output to flash.
4) I just put the video in Premiere to 100%, did a screen capture and then opened that in Photoshop. Intead of being 720 x 480, the video dimensions are 720 x 400, so the vidoe is being compressed on its vertical axis.
5) On output, the video shows in the widescreen dimensions, with a large black band on both the top and bottom of the clip within the window, so that it is now squished on its vertical axis.
6) I have the added problem of having a black band appear on the top and bottom of the video on the output screen - this happens when I select flash for the output. The only way I can fix it is to change the video dimensions to 720 x 400.
Can anyone help me understand why this is happening and what I need to do to correct the problem? I've checked the knowledge base and other sources with no luck.
Thanks!!
Julie

Julie,
This sounds like there is still a heat related problem going on. Other than heat, the only time that I have experienced similar was when a MoBo was headed "South." Replaced that, and added more/better cooling, and that box is still working fine.
When the thermal load on a computer gets up near critical, it *should* shutdown by default. If one is doing heavy NLE work, then things WILL heat up and in a hurry. A computer that works fine with a word processing program going, will often display its weaknesses when working in a program like Premiere.
If this has happened several times before, the BIOS chip might have been weakened to the point that it now looses its memory. Premiere just gets the machine hotter than most other programs will likely do.
Flashing the BIOS is but a stop-gap measure. Will possibly work, until the next bout of heat-stress, then it goes blank, or at least daffy. Some BIOS chips can be user-replaced, but I think I'd be shopping for a new MoBo and some heavy-duty cooling to go with it. When installing the new MoBo, bind all cables, so they do not impede the airflow. Besides looking neater, more cool air can reach components.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why doesn't my iPad Videos App show TV Show Episode Numbers?

Dear everybody,
Can you please help me with this issue, my iPad Videos app doesn't show TV Show episode numbers. They appear to be ordered correctly but shouldn't there be an episode number section?
Here's the screnshot:
http://tinypic.com/r/18kx09/6

It's not designed to. It will only appear in Windows Explorer if you have photos on the iPad that were taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails, websites - in which case it will appear as a camera. Otherwise you get content on and off the iPad via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc

Edu DVD in computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Educational DVD added successfully to computer iTunes but does not show up in iPad iTunes or iPad video. How do I make the DVD contents available on the iPad?

Thanks! For whatever bizarre reason for which I have no answer - I sync'd my iPad to my MBP the old fashion way (not iCloud) and the movie showed up just fine. It is Nikon camera 'how to' video. I like to watch them for a better indepth discovery of what the camera can do. The only weird thing about the hard wire sync is that it was placed in a catagory "home movies" which was never there before...actually it showed up in two places "home movies" and TV shows.
So, thanks anyway! Pretty cat!

I don't neccesarily need a "Video Dimensions" column, but if I could find a script that copies the dimensions into the comments, that'd be fine. I tried compiling the script posted above but it didn't work. I don't really know anything about writing applescripts.

Why does my iPad video shoot in 24 fps when 25 fps PAL is the standard for Europe?

At some point in trying to get my iPad 2 video into a viewable place ie my TV I had an alert telling me the iPad video at 24 fps conflicted with my iMac settings in iMovie (or it may have been iTunes) which was set up for 25 fps PAL. Is there a way to shoot 25 fps PAL on the iPad to avoid degrading quality when converting?

Try the Settings app.
Tap on the left under the video button.
Look for the heading TV Signal.
Change from NTSC to PAL.
Perhaps this should/might work.

Output iPad video to 27" iMac using iPad VGA adaptor?

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
Thx.

No. The VGA adaptor is an analog connection and the only inputs are digital Mini Display / Thunderbolt ports depending on your model. It maybe possible with a conversion box of some sort or maybe trying an HDMI to mini display port cable ($44.95) and an iPad 2. The 27' should be able to be used as a second display but the 21 is not. If you have the iPad 2, pick up the cable and the HDMI adapter and try it out. If not, return the cables within two weeks.

Can't import iPad videos in Final Cut Pro X

Hello there, anyone knows if there are recent issues in importing iPad videos into Final Cut Pro X?
I follow the ordinary workflow, and it all seems ok but at the end of the importing process a "!" yellow triangle remains attached to the imported clip and this one can't be played.
Already tried to make a high quality conversionand/or a proxy, the conversion process seems to start but it doesn't go further than 0%.
Thanks in advcance for your help.
PS: the videos have been teaken with the "Video Pro" app an then exported to the iPad "film roll".
PPS: in the importing window the clips can be played normally.

Russ, I succeed in importing some files by transcoding them in a proxy one by one (that is not in a work queue). Some other files simply stops the rendering process and make it hang until the closing of FCPX. Thanks for your time.

Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor?

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
Thx.

You'd need something to redirect the VGA signal to a DisplayPort connector on the iMac. Your other option is VGA is easily adaptable to S-Video, though its resolution is not as great as VGA and using http://www.elgato.com/ 's hardware for that. A third one is using a Remote Desktop app for the iPad. Several exist.
