DVD display trouble

On my new MacBoork Pro, when reading video MPEG2 DVD in 16/9 format the display is not stable, about each second some display areas are shifted 10 or 20 pixels top or down.
On Imac G4 with same OS X 10.4.5 version the same video DVD is displaying with any trouble.
This default occurs for video DVD format close to the sreen full size, 16/9 scope format or 4/3 format are fully ok.
Is it a reported default on MacBook Pro ?

You can build the DVD on your hard drive (just the VIDEO_TS folder or as a DVD image) and try there before burning.
If you still don't see the menu running the DVD from the hard drive itself the problem is not related at burning at all and I guess there something you are missing during the authoring.

DVD Display Quality for Mac Mini Core Duo

I'm moving from PC to Mac, starting with a Mac Mini Core Duo as a media server.
The spec looks great, but I'm concerned that the CNet review says that on their test machine:
the DVD- and video-output quality was marred by false contouring (banded or splotchy colors), moiré patterns (line distortion), and jagged diagonals
I can't find any mention of this problem in this forum, so perhaps CNet had an early version, or a manufacturing defect, or was poorly configured.
To put my mind at rest, can anybody confirm that the DVD player works fine for them on this system? And if so what exact configuation they have?
Mac Mini Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)
PC (Toshiba Tecra) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yes, large display - I'm outputting to a Panasonic
AE900 projector and putting up a 90 inches diagonal
picture.
nice setup.. OSX with Front Row is a good platform for HTPC. Unfortunately the picture quality is not as good as what you can obtain with PC's. but it is still plenty good. Then again, if you will watch DVD's only, I would recommend getting an upconverting DVD player (Oppo is a good brand for 200 bucks aprox). Again, check out the avsforums, you'll find plenty of useful info and very helpful people.

You probably won't like my suggestions.
To discover if you have a hardware failure, restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba.
   Order Toshiba Recovery Media
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

Free - Alternative DVD apps - trouble with burning

Hello All,
I am still trying to help my son burn the video.
He made his movie in iMovie; it's 63 minutes long, and he got it into iDVD and made menus and such. When he tried to burn it, he ran into issues, though. Selecting any of the encryption options (even Pro, which is supposed to be able to handle movies that long) led to an error message when burning. After trying to prepare the menus, the message was that encoding the menus did not work (no specifics or anything). Any guesses as to why this is happening? Or can anyone recommend another program (preferably free) that would be capable of burning a movie of this length?
Thank you! Jim

What version of iMovie?
Any way you can get iMovie HD6? Works great with iDVD 8/9 since it is .dv format.
Be sure you have set iDVD's encoding preferences to either High or Professional Quality...not Best Performance, which is for movies less than 60 minutes.
Check the settings on the menus and submenus to be sure their durations are not too long. He will have to open the inspector window and manually move the slider to make the menu durations shorter.
Be sure that he did not use unauthorized audio in the menus.
Be sure to set the burn speed to slower....4x or less.
I have not made a DVD from iMovie 8 or 9, still sticking with version 6, but I do use iDVD 8/9 (they are the same), and I am running 10.5.8, too. I have had no trouble with iDVD and do find it simple--just so you know that it does work well. Most of my movies are just under 2 hours, most with many chapters, and most of them 30-75 GB in size.
If you could post the error messages, it might help us find out where the problem is.

Make anamorphic DVDs display at 16:9

Another piece of fearless freeware. Ever wished your domestic DVD recorder could record anamorphic 16:9 and play it correctly, without squeezing, cropping or letterboxing? Ever made a project in iDVD only to find the menu was 16:9 but the project was 4:3 on playback? And found that no amount of button pushing would fix it? Anamorph is the answer. It's especially useful for film and video professionals distributing dailies that originate at 16:9.
Anamorph takes your existing DVD and, with the help of the amazing DVD2OneX2, performs laparoscopic surgery on the DVD files that determine aspect ratio, converting them to full 16:9 display in NTSC and PAL.
Anamorph creates a brand new disk image which you can burn immediately, or burn later using Disk Utility or the very handy Anamorph Burner. It uses the open source mkisofs (included) to create a new image with its anamorphic bits set the way you want them.
This is a time-limited release that's being constantly improved. Your feedback is welcome. Enjoy!

****, you've been busy! thanks again

Display trouble in IE

Hello All,
I have a problem with how my website displays in IE that doesn't occur in any other browser that I've tested it in, either on Mac (my platform) or Windows. I have a header in each of my pages build with a single table with some imbedded images and some background images. I can't tell if he problem is with the table/cell height or the image height, but all of the background images extend below their allotted height by 1-2 px as in the following image:
You can see a gap between the header and the nav bar, which is part of the template that the page is built from. You can also see in the search section that the image extends 2 px below the dashed portion, where it should end. Here is what I am aiming for and what the site looks like in all other browsers:

You could zero out default browser settings on everything with the CSS universal selector (*) and then go back and add your own top and bottom margins to the various selectors.
CSS:
* {margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 100%; font-size: 100%}
Additionally, you should endeavor to work with valid code. Some browsers are much less forgiving of code errors than others.

External Display Troubles

This is a somewhat different problem from the previously discussed thread regarding the upgrade to 10.5.2.
I've been using my MPB 15" with a Dell 2007WFP 20" monitor for about two months now, via the DVI cable. I've been using it on extended desktop mode, with spaces set to a 2x2 configuration. This has worked well for me for, as I said, 2 months. Until yesterday.
I turned on the MBP, and instead of getting the expected login screen on the MBP display with the Leopard background displayed (minus the login window) on the external monitor, I get the expected on the MBP display, but a jumbled image on the Dell.
This is odd, so I restart only to find the same result. Now, fearing for my two month old Dell monitor, I connected it via VGA (using the adapter), and receive nothing but a blank screen. I also tested this on an Acer LCD monitor connected via VGA, with the same result. So, I know its not my screen, as it works fine with another computer.
I've called Apple Support, who weren't very useful. They encouraged me to insert the install disk and run a hardware test, which I did. With the monitor disconnected, I received no error codes. With the monitor connected, I received error code:
4sns/40000000:tgod
So, I have no idea what that means.
Any help? Also, any idea if a reinstall of Leopard would work?
Thanks for any help.

I think I'm having the same problem as you. My external display which is hooked up through VGA via the dongle my MacBook Pro came with. Ever since that **** graphics card update it seems my HP w2207h will not work in OS X. I have windows installed on my machine and it works just fine in windows. That is probably the thing that ****** me off the most about this. In OS X the external monitor recieves NO signal from my MBP but I have 2 displays in the preferences and can rearrange them as if they both worked. *** APPLE! This is pretty ridiculous problem to have and a patch needs to be put out pronto. If not luckly I have a Time Machine backup of before this **** graphic card update. After a couple more days I'm restoring it and not installing the graphics update.

2010 27inch iMac display trouble

My 27inch iMac isn't two years old yet, I paid apple a fortune for it, so you can imagine my annoyance, when, three months a ago, the left side of the screen appeared to darken slightly. I phoned customer service and they basically said its out of its one year warranty and there's not much they can do...grrr....
Now, to make things worse, the entire display just randomly blacks out. At first, this was for a few seconds, now it's getting longer and sometimes won't fire up at all.
I have been reluctant to walk in to an apple store with it because the nearest one is an hour away and it's a fair size of a machine.
Will the direct approach do any good? I have a supposedly state of the art machine that I can't use!!!

The display failed two months, but I had already purchased AppleCare when I bought the machine, since Amazon offered it with a significant discount. That way, I wouldn't have to remember to get it at year's end. So, most likely the one-year warranty covered that and AppleCare covered the HD going south three months ago.

Playing movies display trouble

here's what I have now. My macbook is set up to a mitsubishi projector and I'm trying to run a keynote presentation on it.
I'm able to get everything to work fine with the presentation, the notes are on the laptop and the projector screen simply shows the current slide so everything works fine. The only thing tripping me up is when I have a movie in the slideshow the image of the movie does not appear on my laptop. There is nothing wrong with the display on the projector screen, that works fine, and the sound even comes out fine from my laptop but is there a way to get the movie to play on my latop as well as the projector display?

i restarted itunes and my atv2 (i was watching netflix at the time) went back to the menu as if it was disconnected from the network. however, this couldnt be repeated so maybe it was a spurious thing.
anyway, the music now plays just fine from my ipad and mbp.
its the video that will not work.
i noticed that i had to chnage the file extension of some files to "m4v" to be able to put them on the ipad (others transferred as "mp4) so i didnt know if this mattered. i was under the impression that as long as an audio or video file opened and played in itunes it could be played on any apple device (ipod, ipad, iphone, atv, etc). is this correct? if not, what format to i use when converting video to watch on my ipad or stream to atv2? i want to put my home movies on m tv as background when i am studying or otherwise occupied but just need something in the back ground.

X11 DISPLAY troubles

Hi,
We've been developing a Web Application in Windows, using the Sun Java System Application Server Platform 9 installed on the same PC. Just now, we want to move the web application into a Red Hat Linux Server, also with the Sun Application Server, and run the application with a host PC wih Windows. The application starts OK, but launches an exception (cited below) when it has to open a 'File Dialog Box'. The exception is:
Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception
java.awt.HeadlessException:
No X11 DISPLAY variable was set, but this program performed an operation which requires it.
Note that we doesn't have this problem running the application in local using Windows.
Actually, the Red Hat Linux has no graphical environment.
How to solve this problem? It's compulsory to have a graphical environment in the server?
Thanks a lot!!
Xavi.

Your app apparently has a GUI, but you're running the program without a GUI. Do you see the conflict there?
Linux (usually) uses X11 as its GUI toolkit. The error message you're seeing is saying that it's trying to use X11, but the way you're running the program, X11 hasn't been properly set up.
A good way to deal with this is:
1) install Cygwin, including the X11 utilities.
2) start the X11 server on your PC. The command for this is "startxwin.bat", in Cygwin, I believe.
3) connect to your linux box. Either:
3.1) use the xhost utility to configure your PC's X server to accept
connections from your linux box, and then set the DISPLAY variable
on your linux box
or
3.2) use X11 tunnelling (e.g., if you're using putty) when connecting to
your linux box
4) then you can run the program

Matrix-style lines on DVD display

Is anyone acquainted with this? Vertical lines in the style of The Matrix appear when a DVD is played but only on the image. For example, the lines do not appear in the border if the image is set to wide screen or if the video is watched in a window on the desktop. It is almost like a transparency or sheet of plastic is placed over the image. The dvd plays just fine except for the lines. The repair team at the store where it was purchased had not seen this before. The machine is a Powerbook G4 from 2002 with the OSX 10.2.8 operating system. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi April,
I'm experiencing the same problems. I also have the Powerbook G4 from 2002, the only difference is that im running 10.4.2.
Also, i've noticed when i rotate the Powerbook itself, up or down, or sideways, the lines will go away and then when i put it in another position they'll come back. Try that and let me know if it happens with you as well.

Encore authored DVD displaying wrong audio track language info

Authored a number of DVDs using Encore CS6. Some play fine and some show incorrect audio track language info when played back on a DVD player even though they are programmed correctly and the same as the ones playing correctly. Has anyone else encountered this? If so, what was the fix?

Hi,
Can you please add some detail to "incorrect audio track language info when played back on a DVD player even though they are programmed correctly" - what exactly is the error you get - do you get any audio playback?
And how are the discs "programmed" - do you have multiple audio tracks, for example English and Spanish?
Please let us know the normal workflow you use to create a DVD. Does it use Dynamic Link from Premiere to Encore, do you encode assets first, how do you make DVDs? Video and audio source formats?
Screen grabs can be very helpful to show settings used at various stages.
Thank you

Russian character display troubles

Hi all
My problem is:
The DB codepage is 1100 (ISO1).
Russian chars come from R/3 side in 1500 (ISO5) codepage and stored as is in a DB.
There is no RU language pack installed on BW system.
As the result I am able to display this data only through the WEB template reports, by forcing them to display data in Cyrillic(ISO) codepage.
And for me it seems, that there is no way to do the same inside the BeX.
Has somebody got any idea how to do it?

10.5.2 External Display trouble

I installed 10.5.2 yesterday, with my external Display (Eizo S2431W) plugged in.
After the update had finished, the external Display had only a resolution of 1440x900 (like the mbp display).
Then i installed the graphics-update.. no change.
Since the updates i have the following issue:
I start my Macbook Pro with the external display plugged in and the maximum resolution is 1440x900 (instead of 1920x1200) and it does not get the proper names, just "Main-Display" instead of "S2431W".
When i plug it out, the mainscreen does not come back to the mbp. It stays as second display without menubar and dock.
I have to restart the mbp without the external display. When i then plug it in, everything works just fine.
..any ideas about this issue?

Similar problems today. Yesterday evening I used Software Update to go to 10.5.2 from 10.5.1. After completing the update, Software Update launched and told me that Leopard Graphics Update should be applied and that it required 10.5.2.I also applied this update. During both updates I had an external Samsung LCD connected via the DVI -> VGA adapter that came with the MacBook Pro. There were no issues with the automatic restarts and viewing on the external display at the max resolution.
Today I connected the MacBook Pro to my Apple Cinema Display at work, per usual. Pressed the power button and closed the lid. The desktop background appeared on the ACD and then went blank. Typically I press a key on my external keyboard and the ACD comes on with the full desktop at max resolution. Now, the ACD comes on briefly with the desktop background only and then the MacBook Pro goes to sleep. Pressing a key on the external keyboard revives the ACD briefly followed by the same sleep behavior. Upon opening the lid on the MacBook Pro the screen is black and the keyboard is unresponsive. A forced restart is needed.
I have tried connecting the display after fully starting the laptop and the same behavior results. I have also repaired permissions and reset the PMU. Neither had any effect on the behavior.
So far, I can't use the ACD with the MacBook Pro with 10.5.2.
