Creating a full screen DVD from a low res avi file

Hi
I've obtained an avi file of rare band footage from a friend and am trying to create a DVD for him. All the editing I usually do in PP is with material I video myself and then capture, so I'm not sure where to start with this.
The original was a semi-pro VHS recorded in the 80s. I have no idea how it was captured and what has been done to it since. It plays full screen in WMP and although the image is pixelated, it's not too bad. The original VHS is very rare and almost impossible to obtain.
I imported the file into PP fine and guessed straight away there might be a prob, as 'Fit to Screen' gave me a small display in the Programme Sequence monitor. I tried authoring it as a DVD and got the same result on the TV when I played it. I wonder if anyone can tell me what I need to do to get the authored DVD to play full screen on a TV? Or even if it can be done at all?
The file properties are as follows.
288 MB
22 min 37 secs
320 x 240 pixels
25 fps
Data Rate 1741 kbps
Video sample size 24 bit
Video Compression MS-MPEG-4V2
I'm working in DV- PAL
If anyone can help, or has any tips/advice it would be much appreciated?
Thanks for taking the time to look at it

The best workflow would be to get the original VHS and re-Capture it to DV-AVI Type II.
If that is not possible, then two thoughts come to mind to get the most out of what you've got:
1.) after the Motion>Scale, run Neat Video Effect on it (they have, or had, a trial). You'll need to play around with the settings a bit, as you probably do not have a grey card, or color bars in the file that you have. This can take some time, but the effort is often rewarded. If you get something that you can live with, run Unsharp Mask at a low setting to sharpen the final image.
2.) creative, and not technical: add an image of a TV to the Timeline, and then do a PiP of that footage in it. It will be smaller, and the viewer will see that it is supposed to be the image on a TV, so they might be more forgiving of the quality.
Good luck, and the original VHS will still be your best option.

Create a full-screen image gallery with MSO - breaks other buttons?

Hi - I'm trying to create a full screen image gallery to be accessible from any layout via a button. The ultimate goal is to use my layout as a presentation tool and allow the presenter to have an 'image gallery' button on each page,so they would be able to jump to a full screen image at any time. Most of my layouts have other buttons, scrollable content, etc. I thought I had a great idea: create a multi-state object with the first state being blank, and each subsequent state would have an image and also a full screen black box at 50% transparency. The problem is, now my other buttons are no longer working. I confirmed that the existing buttons will work if they are arranged to be in front of the image gallery MSO, but that's not a good solution. Am I missing something or is there another workaround? Thanks!
John

You have to put buttons inside each state of the MSO.
It's not really a workable design in the long run, you should probably rethink it It's also not good from an app performance standpoint as it requires loading full-screen images for each state into memory.

How can I create a full-screen view of Keynote slide in Snow Leopard?

How can I create a full-screen view of my Keynote slides in Snow Leopard?
I'm going to be importing into ScreenFlow to create a video.
Thank you!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Do you want static screen captures or motion video of slides as titles, bullet points, and the like are presented?
Run the Keynote slide presentation in full-screen mode, then...
Static full-screen captures - use Command+Shift+3.
Static partial-screen captures - use Command+Shift+4 and use cursor to select the area of the screen to capture.
If you want motion video as builds occur, why not use Keynote's built-in Share, Export function?
(I'm on iLife '09.)
Also understand that the default slide format for Keynote is 1024x768, not full-screen MacBook 1280x800 screen size, so you'll have wide black borders unless you change the default size or crop the finished screen captures.

How to create a full screen Air Application with pdf

Hi,
I need to create a app in full screen which can load pdf files.
I read that the pdf files need to have the nativeWindows in normal mode, and "stage.scaleMode" in "StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE" mode to run.
So I get the HTMLLoader dimensions by getting the screen resolution. But by putting "StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE" my movie up and down the pdf is not resizing!!
How can I do to see the pdf and having the asssets (movies in my library) resize too?
Regards,

The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox.

The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval (I think every 5 or 10 min) when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox. It does not happen if Firefox is not running (i.e. it does not start by itself). The OS is Windows 7 SP1 and this begun after installing the Firefox update 5.0.1. Exactly all programs are updated with the latest version, the computer is clean according to Microsoft Security Essentials. Please solve this problem.

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button -> place Checkmark on '''Show the Downloads window when downloading a file''' -> select Radio Button option2 '''Always ask me where to save files'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
-> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

Unable to exit full screen mode from any app

Hi,
I just upgraded to Mountain Lion today and I noticed something wrong. In Lion I used to be able to exit full screen mode from any app by pressing esc or clicking the exit full screen mode button on the top right corner of the screen. Now neither of those seem to work, in fact the menu bar doesn't even come up when I get the cursor to the top of the screen. Tried this on many apps, some system apps, always the same. The only way I found that works is pressing fn + ctrl + F2 (or ctrl + F2 depending on the function keys setting).
I checked the console and found this message appears whenever I go into full screen
WindowServer[79]: CGXRegisterWindowWithSystemStatusBar: window 10 already registered
Anyone having the same issue?
Any solutions found?
MacBook Pro 5,1
Processor 2,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
Software OS X 10.8 (12A269)

Thanks for replying so fast.
I tried a couple more times and now the esc key method seems to be working, maybe it the cursor focus had something to do with it not working earlier.
But I still can't get the menu bar to drop down when I get to the top of the screen.
Did a PRAM reset, but no cigar.
Do you mean reinstalling over the current installation or installing fresh and recovering from a time machine backup?
In any case I think I'll wait a little bit more before I do any of that, it really bothers me to have to reinstall the whole system to fix something as insignificant as this. It's still a little annoying though.

How to create a full phone image from a Screen Capture?

I have an app that I'm trying to market and want to use a full image of the iPhone with screen shots from my app
The image would look similar to this
http://draykenobi.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/iphone-app-store1.jpg
The difference is that my screen capture would be shown on the iPhone. I know how to do the screen capture, but I really like the look with the phone around it.
I have photoshop, but can't seem to find any templates where I could just add my screen shot into the psd.
Does anyone know of how I can achieve this easily. Maybe there's an app that does this?
Thanks

Sync it to your computer:

You'll need to do that to burn it to a DVD, and a sync via iTunes is probably the most direct method.

How do I create a DVD from existing M2V and AC3 files?

I have previously used Compressor 4 to render a M2V file and an AC3 file from which I burned a DVD 'job'. Now, a week later, I wish to go back and burn another DVD from these files, (without rendering them again). How do I use these EXISTING files to create another DVD (using Compressor 4)?
Thanks,
Geoff

If you anticipate that you may need multiple disks, the way to do it is to select Hard Drive as your output device/ That makes a disk image, from which you can burn multiple copies.
WIth the separate files already created, you could bring them into an authoring program like Toast. But if you want to re-use them in Compressor, I think your only option is to multiplex them in something like MPEG STreamclip and bring the new file back into Compressor.
Probably easier to redo the Compressor job with the original source.

How do I create a full screen pdf?

I have created some eGuides specifically for iPhone/iPod 5 using the specified screen dimensions 1136 x 640. However it seems iBook author retains a top bar to show signal strength, time and battery charge.
1. Can that be turned off to achieve full screen and if so how can it be done as part of opening the pdf?
2. What is the remaining screen size so I can build for that?
3. How do I take a screen snap so I can precisely measure what is being used?
4. Is there an alternate eReader that will let me use full screen, but retain full navigation and links in the pdfs?

I have created an interactive Travel Guide, as a prototype, in Pages and exported to pdf.
I am viewing that in iBooks on my iPod Touch till I work through the issues and resolve my best workflow and end result.
I have got well beyond my initial problems with the screen resolution, but will need to work out a more flexible solution. I am very satisfied with my current effort, which impresses the few people I have tested it on, but need to extend the interaction, form filling, multi-media and cross referencing.
Love to discuss this with you offline, as I'd certainly like to bounce things off you.

Remove "Open in Full Screen mode" from multiple files

Hi there,
I just discovered today that I could use Javascript with Acrobat.
I download a lot of ebooks from a certain website that has them all set to open in Full Screen mode. (Properties > Initial View > Windows Options > [x] Open in Full Screen mode)
I could fix a lot of stuff that was annoying me with ebooks from this site, but I can't seem to find anything to disable the full screen thingie...
I tried these commands that I found, but they didn't do the job :
app.fs.isFullScreen = false;app.fullscreen = false;this.fs.isFullScreen = falsev;this.fullscreen = false;
Thanks,
Simo
PS : Using Actobat X

Thank you both for your replies.
With Acrobat Pro you can set the Initial View through the batch process.
Would you mind explaining how to do this for a noob like me?
Thanks,
Simo

Quick Look Full Screen Issue from Desktop

I have an issue with quick looking files in full screen from a screen other than that which is occupied by the Finder.
Example, I have a pdf on my desktop, if I Quick Look it, it opens OK on all screens but if I try to go into full screeen from Quick Look it does not work unless I am on the same screen as the Finder.
On close inspection, this is because the Finder App options is set to 'This Desktop' (control-click on the Finder icon in the dock and choose Options). If I set it to 'None' then this issue cannot be replicated. Anyone think that this is an issue with Lion and Quick Look should not be written this way? This was initially confusing for me and I though that something was broken.

I remembered that there had been a slight bug in the Leopard Quicklook, so that if you went to full-screen QL, then used Command-Tab to switch to another program, then Command-Tab back to Finder, you would be back in QL Full Screen, but you could now navigate with the arrow keys. At first I thought this had been fixed, and started mucking about with other key combos and accidently got it going again. Took awhile to figure out exactly what I had done, but it works like this:
1. Select your file, hit spacebar and click the full screen arrows
2. Command-tab to some other program
3. Mouse click the toolbar or sidebar of the open folder with your file in it
4. You can now navigate with the arrow keys
Although I don't really see how this is better or easier than opening the folder, hitting Command-A, then bringing up QL....

How do I stop Full Screen Mode from auto advancing?

I am attempting to show a PDF slide show in Full Screen Mode. The slides autoadvance and I can't find out how to stop it. I went to Preferences and made sure that the box with the faded 5 sec was not checked for auto advance but the program still advances. Any help?

I can't get either Acrobat 9 Pro or Reader X to do this and I tried with several PDFs. Unchecked, nothing advances automatically. Maybe someone else has some insite.
