Enhanced Podcasts Too Small to See

I work at a university where we're looking into using podcasts as a teaching tool.
We're considering a software that will automatically record/sync a professor's lecture (audio) and PowerPoint notes (actually anything from the computer screen) into an enhanced podcast.
The trouble is... when viewing this on my 5th gen iPod, you can't read anything from the PowerPoint slides. Almost 1/2 " from either side of the screen... and almost 1/4" inch from the top & bottom of the screen... aren't being used.
I suspect this has something to do with maintaining the aspect ratio of the original source? Is there any way around this? To utilize more of the screen? What's the maximum image size for an enhanced podcast?
Another method we've employed involves creating video podcasts of the same lectures/PowerPoint slides. You lose the ability to add chapters - but the video takes up the entire iPod screen (so you can actually read the notes!)
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

I agree, this needs to be addressed big time. It's a waste having to open the template, just to decide against it and have to close the whole document, then open a new doc to view the template gallery again. This is why I also suggest a way to view the template gallery from a button on the toolbar as well, rather than only when opening a new doc. I'm amazed this wasn't implemented by Apple...
If there is a way to view the template gallery and select new templates without opening a completely new doc, please let me know.

  • How do you fix scaling issue with any video playback control bar (too small to see) on Firefox 28?

    Using a 3200x1800 dpi resolution lap top (Samsung Ultrabook 9 series), when I want to play videos on a webpage, the playback control bar (runs across the bottom of a given video for settings like play, pause, sound level, etc.) is too small to see. I tried scaling using various methods, Windows 8.1 OS, Firefox ad-ons like No squint with no success. Of course, these tools work to rescale everything else but the playback control bar. This is not a problem on IE as when you rescale, everything including the playback control bar
    rescales. Thanks

    You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

  • Thumbnails in "OPEN" dialog box too small to see!

    The thumbnails are  too small in the open dialog box so that I can't see the file I want to open.  Yes, you can make them bigger in finder itself...but I am always opening pictures and I just can't see them!
    Almost as frustrating as the column issue.   The name column is very very wide when I try to open a file.. so I can't sort by the other columns without dragging over the bar at the bottom of the screen.  THis is so so frustrating.  I resize but it doesn't stick to the next session.
    Apple invented the finder.  Why is it so inferior to windows explorer?

    The only solution to enlarging the icons in an application open dialog window is to use the Accessibility panel in System Preferences. Under Zoom, enable Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom.
    The first time you have an application open dialog, you press the keys: option + command + =  as many times as you want to zoom in. This will enlarge the open dialog window and its contents. When done, press option + command + 8 to restore normal window size. Subsequently, you can alternatively press option + command + 8 to zoom to the previous setting, or return to normal zoom.
    This is as good as it is going to get. The applications (not just Apple’s) only use a subset of Finder’s settings in the open dialogs, and these do not include icon enlargement settings, which as you realize, are part of the actual Finder’s settings. The application development frameworks, and not Finder, are remiss in not providing icon size adjustments in open dialog windows.
    You can provide feedback to Apple regarding OS X.

  • Mafia Wars can not load completely because you are missing a plugin, pop up is too small to see the missing pluging, how do I find out what it is?

    Yesterday, while playing Mafia Wars, I kept getting a bar notification that "The game can not load completely because you are missing a plugin? When I clicked on the box I got an 1/2" popup, which probably contains the information I need but it is too small to find out what it is. You can not maximize it. The is nothing visible to click on. Flash and Java are all up to date, as well as all other plugins. No plugins are disabled. How can I find what I am missing?

    Try a program such as Disk Inventory X or OmniDiskSweeper.

  • Upoading files file images are too small to see on file upload screen

    Upon wanting to send photos or files via email when i come to the file upload screen the images are very small and almost impossible to see.this is affecting both safari and firefox.how can i make the images larger so i can see what files i am actually uploading?

    Hi,
    I am not sure I was clear enough. (EDIT Some testing before finally posting this does show some strangeness)
    I was suggesting that in the View Options bit you set the Size to what you want (Before using the Upload site) so that when (and If) you change the View in the Pop Up screen to Icon View the icons are big enough. (See note below though)
    List and Column views do show very small Icons that cannot be changed in size, hence the need to use the Icon view and possibly a Naming convention that helps if the pics are very similar like the pic I posted (a whole series of iChat Preferences pics) or possibly deciding before Uploading and creating a sub folder of just the ones to be uploaded.
    NOTE:- However I also checked if I set the Icon View in the Finder first to 128 X 128 and then used Google Mail to Add an Attachment the Pop up, view as it were, keeps to the size in the pic I posted.
    I will also try Quitting Firefox just in case it is holding some old info.
    I will also try Safari
    EDIT 2
    Tried Safari and the Icons are a default size it seems.
    Zoom Only makes the selection (of Pics) window bigger/full screen, hiding the Browser (Alt Key and Zoom reduces it again).
    Also tried setting the View Options at the Desktop Level (Have yet to use it as the Default)

  • Templates too small to see

    Is there a way to see what a template looks like larger without clicking on each of them. Is that clear? When I open the template viewer and scan through the different templates, they are a little hard to see on my MacBook. If I click on one, I get the template. Is there a way to just enlarge it enough just to see what they look like or I need to open the template to see it? Hope that makes sense.

  • I can open the program and see it's running, but the window is invisible or too small to see.

    I've tried scanning the help forums and was told that it's probably a corrupted file that saves my preferences upon closing, but all in the info I can find about this is for earlier releases.
    I've tried clearing caches, opening images that might force the window larger, uninstalling and reinstalling, and restarting my computer. Suggestions?

    You can use Save & Quit with one of these Startup settings:
    * Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page"
    Save and Quit will only work if you close Firefox via "File > Quit" to close all open Firefox windows.<br />
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.
    You can reset the warn prefs on the about:config page via the right-click context menu.
    * browser.tabs.warnOnClose , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About%3Aconfig_entries
    * browser.warnOnQuit , see http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.warnOnQuit

  • Enhanced podcasts and iPod display dimming

    Can anyone suggest a smart way of ensuring that iPod displays always remain backlit to display the pic content of enhanced podcasts that I produce?
    I'd never really thought about this, but if you start playing an enhanced podcast on your iPod (as opposed to in iTunes) the display remains backlit for only a few seconds before it dims, after which any on-screen graphics are all but invisible. Obviously a user can set their iPod to keep the backlight switched on, but it's a pain to keep changing the setting, and a bit clunky to tell people at the start of every show to turn their backlights on in order to see all the graphics and pics.
    Is there anything that I can do at the authoring stage (other than producing a video podcast) that will ensure that graphics are always displayed on a backlit screen?
    G5 iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Using a G5 iPod. Podcasts produced with AudioDesk, GarageBand.
    G5 iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   G5 iPod, HHB DRM85 FlashMic, MOTU 828MkII, AudioDesk, Logic, GarageBand.

    I used to have the setting on my iPod set to have the backlit display on during our graphically enhanced podcast too. The only problem, and the reason I switched it back, was that it causes the battery to go down a lot faster. So that is something to consider too. But as far as I know, the user has to change that setting themselves.

  • Itunes screen too small

    ok i just got a new ipod nano and i downloaded the new software. when i connect it and it shows up to say register your ipod its too small to see and i can't see it say register now just register later on the left side. what should i do?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Two options:
    1. Increase your computer's display resolution above 1024x768 (XGA) or
    2. Click the left hand pane scroll bar and drag to the left, shrinking it to the point where the Register button appears on the right.

  • The video tutorial window that shows when photoshop is launched is TOO SMALL. Can it be maximized??

    The "Welcome" window that opens when PS CC 2014 is launched show the option to playa specific  vidieo tutorials. However, that window in not adjustable and is frequently too small to see exactly what the person is actually doing. Can the video be enlarged?
    There are other secondary videos that can be watched in that same window. These other videos are really quite tiny, actually. I can't see at all what the person is doing. I think it would be nice to be able to enlarge the videos presented within the Welcome window that opens with PS CC 2014. Is anyone else having this problem??
    Thanks,
    Chick

    I am aware of the above links; they do  not appear to contain the same, most recent videos containing the most recent updates that open in Photoshop  when Photoshop is updated, however.
    I think having these videos discussing the most recent updates immediately available in Photoshop is more timely and convenient. but again, I wonder why the video window is so small. Why was that considered good form and even helpful?
    Thank you.

  • Are graphics larger than 300x300 possible in GarageBand enhanced podcasts?

    I would like to migrate away from Podcast Maker and start using GarageBand. However, as far as I can tell, GarageBand limits enhanced podcast graphics to 300x300 pixels. This is not even nice on modern iPods. Is there a hack to make larger graphics possible? I am looking for at least 640x480 which is possible with Podcast Maker. The button to not force graphics to 300x300 seems non-functional as graphics end up at this size regardless of the status of that check-box.
    Thank you,
    Roger

  • Enhanced podcast (don't see chapter and pictures in podcast app on iphone or ipad)

    hi people !
    i create enhanced podcast, and try that podcast on itunes app on my pc. Everything work ok, except pictures but i know that this is bug with curent version of iTunes. Then i opet same m4a enhanced podcast in quicktime app on my pc, again everything work ok, i see chapters and i see pictures. Then i put same file on my server, i see that podcast in my podcast app on my iphone and ipad and when i stream it , i don't see pic and logo for chapters. when i scan my enhanced m4a podcast file i see that my file have: general,audio, video & menu section
    in first general section
    Format :
    M4A
    Codec ID :
    M4A
    this not working on podcast app on iphone or ipad !
    then i scan enhanced podcast file downloaded from podcast app from my iphone with working chapters and pic made with garage band on mac by someone
    and i see sections: general,audio, video and text 1 and text 2 sections (my not working does not have that last 2 , my last is menu section)
    Format :
    MPEG-4
    Format profile :
    Apple audio with iTunes info
    Codec ID :
    M4A
    look at format profile ! it says Apple audio with iTunes info !
    last thing is that i download from appstore app called Downcast, and try my enhanced podcast in that app wooow, everything work again ok when i stream, i see chapters i see pic. then at the end i download
    Podreel — Enhanced podcast authoring tool for Windows
    and try to build test podcast with that app, when i analyze enhanced podcast made with that app i see info say that podcast is made with garageband ??? this is fake tag made by podreel because podcast is made with podreel and not garage band, file made with podreel have this
    Format :
    MPEG-4
    Format profile :
    Apple audio with iTunes info
    Codec ID :
    M4A
    again format profile is same like one from that working.
    is podreel make fake tag because podcast app in iphone and ipad play exclusively enhnaced podcas make with garage band (podreel fake tag) or somebody know where I'm wrong. why my enhanced podcast don't play pics and chapters when is on iphone or ipad podcast app. i will write again that my file work on downcast app on iphone or ipad, work on pc in itunes, work on quicktime player etc work everywhere except there where i want to work in podcast app on iphone or ipad

    hehe if somebody knows something this is def you Roger about first thing with seeing pic in itunes i think that i read all possible posts on web in last 7 days and nights and this is not working on my pc with control-click (Windows) but i don't care ! i wait for apple do magic bug fixing on new itunes version. And now about main problem. iOS devices are capable displaying chapter images because this is working right now with some podcast on my phone, i give you pic example iphone 4 iOS 6.1.2
    in first pic you can see streaming podcast and chapters (little white dots on bar),second picture is first song with cover of single playing, and if you look close right from the clock zzz simbol is chapter logo, if you press it you will be see pic no.3 so this def working but working when you mad your podcast on mac with garage band ! that's why i write about format ids, tags etc
    http://i.imgur.com/vy33H9y.png
    http://i.imgur.com/g4P5iM1.png
    http://i.imgur.com/zDOIwrC.png
    i test your podcast episode 36 then episode 33 and 31 ! bad news my friend no chapters and no pictures only one main pic. but when i test your podcast in downcast app in my iphone wooo i see text i see your pic i see chapters i see everything. so that mean it's working everywhere like mine except iphone and ipad app and now we come to theory of garage band things tags in m4a files. you write that you have done all this in podcast maker not garage band. This is now real mistery to me !
    i analyze your file here and you have in last section menu1 and menu 2 so maybe problem is somwhere around this, not in format id because you have ok format id like one that working ok
