Hello wrw53,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I nuderstand that your DVDs take up a space larger than your screen. Normally, maximizing the program or playing it in full screen will resolve the issue. If that doesn't help, please provide the following information:

Photoshop CS6: Why don't images automatically open in 'Fit Screen' mode, by default?

When opening an image in Photoshop CS6, in order to make the best use of the available screen area for viewing my photos, I have to either press the 'Fit Screen' option, at the top, or double-click the Hand Tool. Why doesn't the image fully fit in the available screen area automatically, when first opening? Is there a reason for images to open by default with empty space surrounding it, or is it an oversight by Adobe, in how the application works?

The view at Fit to Screen is in most cases guaranteed to be one of the WORST representations of your image you can ever see in a Photoshop window.
Sure, it has its place and it's one to which I have to resort often, but the overwhelming majority of users would be disappointed—even shocked—at the perceived quality of their image if that's the first glimpse they caught of it by default.
The only true representation of your pixels is at 100%, where no pixels have to be discarded or made up (invented).
The next best representations are the the percentage views that Photoshop defaults to when you hit Command/Control + or -.
One of those is the one that your window initially opens up to by default, and this is exactly the way it should be.
DexterG wrote:
…they scale to around 46% when fit-to-screen…
…and I can guarantee you that is far from optimal, without a doubt.
If your available monitor space would allow it, your images would open at 50%, or even at 100%, when the image is small enough.
The way the default view is chosen by Photoshop is perfect. Nothing has to be changed in this respect. This is one of the many things Adobe gets right.
Calling it "stupid" just highlights the user's lack of insight into the issue.

[SOLVED] xrandr: HDMI output too small or too large to fit screen

I'm trying to connect my PC to the TV with an HDMI cable. But I'm having trouble with xrandr.
xrandr lists 1920x1080 as the largest mode for HDMI and 1280x1024 as number two. So I tried both of these:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output HDMI2 --mode 1280x1024
But the first is about 1-2cm too large to fit the screen (both at the top and on the sides) and the second one is too small. Is there anything I can do about it?
PS: Also 1920x1080 output is very sluggish and there is video tear when I move windows around. The PC is a ThinkPad X220.

Thanks. I set my TV picture format to "unscaled".
The output is still sluggish. I would have thought an i5-2540M would be able to handle this in a more responsive manner.

Images too large to fit my screen, windows overlap etc.

One day I opened firefox to get my emails from the web and my icons suddenly became the size of silver dollars and I was able to view approximately a third of the image on screen without scrolling to view. If I open the print control window I couldn't activate because that part of the window was below screen and hidden.

1. It looks like you're using a 2 year old version of Firefox that isn't supported any longer, you need to update it. http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
2. {Alt & F4} should close that window, <br />
or <br />
If you right-click that window on the Windows Task Bar (at the bottom of the screen), you could use the '''Close''' item.

Image Slideshow Stretch to Fit Screen

Before Mavericks when you selected mulitple images in the Finder then pressed the space bar and the full screen button in the top right, you would automatically be able to play a slideshow of all the images, and this is still true in Mavericks. The difference now is that the images used to be stretched to fit the screen, now they just appear as their regular size. I would like to go back to the old way if possible.
For clarification: If you press the spacebar and the full screen button in the top right with just one image selected, that image will be streched to fit the screen. It's only when the slideshow moves to a second image that they all stop being stretched.

Is this still true if you use the Slideshow instead of Quick Look feature in the Finder? And whose idea was it to hide this option? For those who have been looking for the old Slideshow feature, select some images, click File in the FInder menu and, when the menu opens, hold the Option key. You will find the menu changes and now you can see the old Slideshow option instead of the Quick Look option.
(If you've been looking for easy access to the Library in the Go menu, that's another that has been hidden.)
BTW, anyone know how to make these appear by default?

IMac 5.5, OS 10.6.8 During startup, the screen aspect changes so that the image is larger than the screen; I have to scroll to find top, bottom, left, right extremes.

Screen display aspect ration suddenly changed while I was online so that I have to scroll to see the edges of the display: up, down, left, right. I rebooted the computer and the problem persists.

System Preferences->Displays->Display and reset resolution to desired size. Don't know of anything that would change that except possibly a failing graphics card.

Can't burn DVD, file too large?

I downloaded a movie to my hard drive using Drive-In. I am now trying to burn the movie file onto a blank disk but keep getting this error message: "DVD is too large to fit on the disk. Remove some files and try again." Now the file size is 44KB, the disk can hold 4.7GB. Can anyone make sense of this? I opened a burn folder and dragged the movie file into it, do I need to do something else to the file or am I doing it the wrong way? Thanks in advance. Boston

"Drive-in preserves the DVD’s original content protection. Drive-in allows you to play your images on any computer that you own but does not allow you to share your images with others." from Flip4Mac Drive-In web site.
You can not burn that file.

Get Cropped Image to Fit Screen?

Whenever I crop a photo the new image snaps to the corner and gets very small. Is there a way to change this so my new image stays floating AND fits the screen? I thought that in the past whenever I cropped an image it would fill the window the same size of the un-cropped photo. The only thing I can do now is after I make the crop select "fit to screen" (Ctrl-0) to get the image view large again. I don't remember having to do this. I crop a lot of photos so I'd really like a way to make the crop instantly go to a large image. Did I mess up my settings some where or do I have to click "fit to screen" after every crop?

Usually when you crop an image in the full edit mode,
the cropped image will be at the same viewing percent
as the uncropped image. In other words if your image was at 100%
view (actual pixels), the cropped image will also be at 100% view.
Sometimes in the floating image mode (non tabbed view) the window will
get smaller and end up on the left top of the screen (don't know why).
If your using pse8-9, you can work in the tabbed viewing mode to prevent the window resizing,
but the image itself will still not fill the screen, only the document window.
In earlier versions you can use the maximize window mode.

By accident you much have slightly zoomed the screen.

Very large DVD image/folder ( dvd9 in size)

I'm having problems making an bluray folder or image that is readable by anything!, (using encore).
So In encore i changed the project format to DVD and set the disc size to custom = 20G !
My mediaplayer (popcorn hour) did play it OK, incl first-play, menus and subtitles, but i wonder if anyone else have experience with generating DVD image or folder which are large than dvd9 ?
(obviously you can not burn it, but who does that nowadays anyway)
/per

..to answer my own question: the 20G 'DVD' played very well...
now I wonder if the player wil accept H264 encoding instead of MPEG2
..if so, i guess the only difference to bluray would be the lack of popup menus ?

Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are "too large" to fit on the computer screen. I can no longer scroll down because the far right side of the screen is too far over. How can I minimize the screen or be able to scroll down my list? Thx!

Since the latest version of itunes, my playlists are too large to fit on the screen. The left side, with all my playlists is still there, but I can no longer scroll down the chosen playlist as the far right is no longer accessible. Any suggestions on how to minimize the list? Thanks.

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

Is there a way for rollover hotspots to adjust on an image that scales to fit browser?

Hi,
This is my website currently: paddyohara.co.uk
The main rollover image on my homepage is currently a fixed size, but when I set the image to expand to fit the browser, the rollover hotspots moved out of position on large screen resolutions. Is there any way to get the rollover hotspots to size up relative to the image sizing up?
I hope this makes sense, any help much appreciated
Paddy

You could try something like this (I have not because I so rarely use hotspots) -

Reduced DVD image size with HD to SD footage in Encore

Using CS5, when I encode an SD sequence from Premiere to Encore, all works well. When I downconvert an HD project through AME it looks fine and shows full screen in Encore, but when I burn a DVD and play it, I get a reduced size image in the center of the screen.
I'm shooting 1080 24p with a Panasonic HPX170 camcorder. I create Microsoft AVI files using On Location.
I use a Matrox MXO2 Mini with Max display unit, so I'm using these Premiere project settings:
Matrox HD
1990x1080
[email protected]
I'm exporting the Premiere timeline using the recommended settings in the Jeff Bellune CS4 tutorial for converting Premiere HD footage to SD for DVD burning
FORMAT: MPEG2-DVD
PRESET NTSC 23.976p Widescreen High Quality
VBR 2 PASS
Maximum Render Quality
Min bit rate 2.8
Target bit rate 7
Max bit rate 8
GOP SETTINGS M frames 3 N frames12
Audio 48 kh PCM 16 bits
Multiplexer NONE
When I render files and build a project with Encore, the timeline and menu image appears full screen in the Encore monitor.
When I burn the project to DVD, it displays properly in letterbox on a standard def tv.
But, when I play the DVD on an HDTV, I get a great looking picture in proper aspect ratio, but it displays at about 3/4 size in the center of the screen with black surrounding it. I can change the display setting on the HDTV to 'Zoom" and fill the screen with the picture without distortion.
I have the same issue creating footage at 1080i 60 fps and 1080p 30 fps and building projects with appropriate settings in Premiere and Encore.
I'm wondering if I'm missing a setting in AME or Encore. I thought I'd followed Jeff Bellune's excellent instructions on HD to SD settings in AME to the letter.
I'd like to create DVDs that will play full screen on HDTVs and in letterbox on standard def TVs without viewers having to change the settings on their HDTVs.
FYI, I'm shooting in HD, partially to get really clean keys during the edit, using the Ultra keyer in Premiere. This works great.
Thanks for any assistance.

Jeff,
I went back and checked all the PAR settings and looked at the monitors in 100% mode. Didn’t solve the problem, but here’s what I found.
I’m using an avi film clip shot at 1080 24p on the Panasonic HPX170P.
In CS5 Premiere, I checked the interpret footage setting on the clip.
It read: Pixel Aspect Ratio: DVCPROHD(1.5)
I right clicked the timeline to see its properties and saw: PAR 1.5.
When I checked the monitor at 100% it zoomed in to a close-up of the middle of the image, compared to a full-screen image in “fit.”
In AME, I used the settings from your Scaling HD to SD using CS4 tutorial and the 1080 24p option.
When I changed the monitor view to 100% and switched back and forth between SOURCE and OUTPUT views, the SOURCE view was tightly zoomed into the center of the frame, and the OUTPUT view was slightly zoomed in, only losing a bit of the sides of the frame. Unchecking "Aspect Ratio Correction" squeezed both source and output monitor images horizontally. I rechecked "Aspect Ratio Correction."
I imported the encoded clip into Encore and checked its PAR.
The PAR was set to “SQUARE 1.0”
The 100% view in the monitor was just slightly zoomed in from the “fit” view.
I tried changing the PAR on the clip in the project window to “Conform to:SD NTSC WIDESCREEN 1.2121.”
This did not change the 100% monitor view.
I saved the project and burned a DVD, but saw no change in the menu or clip size. Still small image centered.
Next I changed the PAR on the clip in the Encore project window to: “Conform to Anamorphic 1.333.”
This shrank the 100% view to show a letterbox view of the clip, showing the entire clip image.
I saved the project and burned a DVD. On the DVD, the menu appeared unchanged, still small and centered. The clip played in full 4:3 aspect ratio, not distorted, with the edges side cropped.
Any other PAR settings I missed I should access and change?
Any additional things for me to try?

Fit Screen problem

I am using PS Elements 7 for some time
When I load an image into the work space and press fit screen I used to always get a pretty full screen view but recently when I press fit screen the image is much smaller. The info box shows 12.85% and in the past I think it was about 20%. How can I get back to the larger image.

Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

HT200024 Bringing footage from hd cameras into idvd but encoder creates a picture that overscans tv screen. How to properly format to fit screen

How can I format idvd to correctly format hd video for tv screen. My dvds are overscanning the screens on different dvd players. Would also like to know how really to use files in dvd studio pro on my old g5 d desktop. I need to use new hd cameras for projects but don't understand how to encode or format correctly to fit screen. Everything overscanned (losing a lot of picture and menus (too large)!

If you add the video clips to an iDVD slideshow and set the preferences to Scale photos to TV Safe area you can get rid of the overflow. However, you may experience letterboxing of the clips:
