Full resolution without EDID

With my new VGA cable extension, EDID (vendor info and supported resolutions) isn't detected. In Win7 I could easily work around this by adding a custom resolution from the nVidia control panel, but in X/nvidia-settings, that's not possible. I tried some xorg.conf hacks to no avail; xrandr still refuses to let me set a higher res than 1024x768. What do I need to do?
xorg-server 1.8.1.902-1
nvidia 256.35-1
kernel26 2.6.34.1-1
Ideally I'd want an xrandr -s 1920x1080 --no-i-dont-care-what-you-think-is-the-highest-supported-res

  • How do i export multiple full resolution movie files at the same time in final cut pro 6?

    I've been using Final Cut Pro since version 3 came out, know the program well, have even had jobs consisting of just operating the program.  I'm currently running version 6 because that's the latest one that works on my computer.  Back in verison 3, there used to be an option under Export to export a "Final Cut Pro" movie, which was really a Quicktime movie but appeared with a FCP icon and defaulted to opening in FCP, but the important thing about it is that it was a full resolution copy of the movie with no compression.  Now, that option seems to have been changed to "export Quicktime movie."  In my opinion that change is kind of stupid since it is so much less specific and is even less of an implication that one is exporting a full resolution file.  But in fact you are.
    One also has the option of using Compressor to export a version of a movie, and therein there are so many different options that if you are not confused by it I think there's something wrong with you.  Moreover, it would appear that there is no equivalent of exporting a full resolution version of a file in Compressor.  Fair enough: a full-resolution file involves no compression so is not appropriate for "Compressor."  BUT, suppose you want to export multiple uncompressed, full-resolution movies at once.  When you use Compressor, you are able to create batch lists and export many things at the same time, for instance, lists that will take many hours to complete so you can go to bed and get the results the next day.  But as far as I can tell there is no way to do this at full resolution without compression.  Instead you have to sit at the computer waiting for each one to finish and after each one, manually go to the next and select "export Quicktime movie."  Even if there is a way to do this I would complain that such an obviously desireable thing is so unaccessable.  In fact, the only reason I've typed out my question at such length is because I'm stuck here waiting for each one of my movies to export.
    Anyway, all my complaints aside, anyone know how to do this?

    what you're missing to export multiple files is the batch export command available in the file menu or by control clicking on the items in the browser.  You can export multiple sequences/clips at full resolution with this.
    This has been available in fcp for a long long time.
    Wow, you are right.  Now that you mention it, I can't believe I never noticed that.  Thanks.
    Only if you have the 'Self-Contained' box checked.  Otherwise you'll end up with a reference movie.
    Correct.  That box is typically checked by default.  There are other default settings you could change that would not result in a full-quality version, but what I meant was hitting that option from the pull-down menu, then changing nothing and hitting ok.

  • Pre-effect full resolution render

    Hello everyone,
    I m trying to achieve an effect that recognize regions separated by outlines.
    For that I need to rerender in full resolution since the outline gets broken when downsampling.
    Part of the answer has already been found thanks to Mr Shachar Carmi in a previous post.http://forums.adobe.com/people/shachar%20carmi
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/659547?tstart=90
    I can render full resolution and achive downsampling after. this can work...
    But...
    It gives me a rendering result with ALL effect applied. So the output of my effect will be wrong if my effect is not the last effect applied:
    Layer
      Effect E1
      Effect E2
      Effect myeffect
    correct output= E1,E2, my effect
    but if:
    Layer
      Effect E1
      Effect myeffect
      Effect E2
      Effect E3
    Correct output= E1,my effect,E2,  E3
    but with full renderingin my effect, I wuold get:
    Wrong output= E1,E2, my effect, E2, E3,E2, E3
    I think they may be some workaround:
    1) Whe full rendering, render with full resolution, WITHOUT effect applied. I look for a parameter enabling that in rendering suite... but could not find it...
    2) add a dummy layer parameter with the layer itself in. the layer will have no effect applied. I need just then a way to checkout the layer parameter WITHOUT downsampling. I also look fot that kind of option in checkout function, but could not find it....
    3) add a layer parameter and ask the user to specify the original layer. Ask the user to NOT apply any effects on that layer. Render the given layer full resolution and downsample it manually.
    the solution 3 will work for sure (i hope), but it add some setup of the composition I would love to avoid id possible. Does anyone know a way to make solution 1) or 2) work?
    Thank you in advance.
    Best Regards

    hi marc.
    the following doesn't fully answer your question, but it might help.
    there are two ways of checking out your own layer (without turning the whole universe upside down):
    1. PF_CHECKOUT_PARAM
    this old method will give you the checked layer WITHOUT effects applied, whether or not it has effects on it.
    2. checkout_layer_pixels
    this samrtFx method will give you the layer with it's effects.
    so you would probably want to use PF_CHECKOUT_PARAM.
    to do that without asking the user to point to the original layer,
    add an invisible layer param, and on the set it yourself on the first chance you get (we can talk for hours about what IS the first chance).
    it pretty simple:
    get effect layer -> get layer id -> set layer id in layer param.
    and the user need never know.

  • MacBook Pro and External Display on full resolution

    I want to use only my external 20" cinema display, connected to my MBP. So what I do is connect the display via the DVI cable, close the lid of the notebook, wake it up from the keyboard/mouse (now I have the full resolution of the Cinema Display), open the lid so I can use the keyboard and the trackpad. This is all right with me, but when I restart or after sleep MacBook's display turns on and is set up as primary and the Cinema Display goes to Dual View mode. Is there a way the laptop to remember the external Display as primary, so I don't always have to close the lid, wake up the laptop and open the lid.
    For instance, when I've done this for the first time in Windows, I didn't have to do it again. Now every time I log in in Windows, the macbook's display automatically turns off and the Cinema Display gets its full resolution. This is what i want to be done when I boot in Mac OS.

    I know both scenarios (OS X/Windows), but I'm pretty sure that there's nothing you can do about it. As long as your internal display is open while waking from sleep or booting up, it will be always on in OS X. I'm only using my external Cinema Display and keep the MBP's lid closed all the time. Of course, I use an external keyboard and mouse as well. You can only choose which display has the menu bar on it, but you can't turn it off without sleeping the Mac. In Windows the ATi/Nvidia drivers take care of your settings, but it won't be applied until you get to the Desktop, so you'll still have the internal display on while booting Windows...

  • Will we ever see full-resolution video out on 5G ipods?

    hi!
    i'm an independent filmmaker. it would be very very useful for me if i could store all of my movies on my video ipod at full resolution (720x480) so I could basically carry a backup of all of my work with me at all times. it'd be especially useful for pitch meetings & stuff.
    does anybody know if apple plans to support full tv resolution at any point in the future? that would really make the video ipod an unbeatably awesome device!

    I think the real question here is if Apple will make it so that, with an iPod and AV cable, you can watch a movie on a easonable sized TV without the currently obvious lack of resolution.
    I would assume that in the future, the iPod will be able to, because if not, there was really no reason to make the AV output in the first place. I'm sure no one is really using it now, since the quality looks so bad; If you're trying to watch LOST or Desperate Housewives you may as well power up the VCR.
    As for right now, I've heard of some people using Videora with certain settings and getting higher resolutions to work on the iPod. I haven't been able (as of yet) to figure out how to do it, but there's got to be a way.
    Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

  • How to read the 'full resolution composite' from a .psd file?

    I'm working with 16-bit .psd files and have the "maximize compatibility" switch turned on in CS2. When a file is saved, a message box appears indicating that PS is generating a "full resolution composite." I'd guess this is stored in the .psd file somehow, because some of the 3rd party image viewers are able to display the image when the compatibility switch is used, but are unable to display the image otherwise.
    My question is: how can I read this full resolution composite from the .psd file outside of Photoshop?
    If this is the wrong forum to post this question, I'd appreciate it of you'd tell me a better place.
    Thanks,
    Dave H.

    As you guess, it is stored in the PSD, but only with the Maximise Compatibility switch. Without that switch, a dummy image is stored which has the text "This layered Photoshop file was not saved with a composite image.", in English, German, Japanese and French.
    My program
    psdparse extracts each layer in an 8-bit file as a PNG, and the merged image for both 8- and 16-bit files. That link is to a Subversion repository containing source code.

  • Full resolution images possible?

    I am uploading some of my files from photoshop, and PNG files are rather crappy. Is there a way to pevent iWeb from converting them to PNG files and leave them as psd or jpg files? Also, I want to keep full resolution, I thought that was the point of iWeb when they first released it.
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Mac Mini PowerPC G4 1.5GHz 1GB Ram iLife 06   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hello, pcConvert. There are a couple of things you maybe need to understand about how any web program (not just iweb) works. This is very different from working towards printing an image, so it confuses a lot of people.
    1. No web browser understands psd files. JPEG, GIF, PNG are the best graphics formats for web display, because most browsers understand them (although older versions of IE are notorious for PNG-illiteracy).
    2. The kind of resolution you seem to be talking about (higher ppi= better print) doesn't exist on the internet. Computer monitors only understand pixel dimensions. A photo that is 900 pixels wide will display exactly the same whether it's saved at 300 ppi, 1000 ppi, or 2 ppi. That setting just doesn't apply for onscreen display.
    iWeb resizes your photos to 800 pixels (or less) on the long dimension, because that's about as large as you can go and expect the entire image to fit on most monitors without a lot of scrolling. As JIm McCormaic said, you can include a full sized version for downloading, if you want. A regular graphics program like Photoshop can resize for more viewing options than a web browser can give you.
    Current versions of iweb don't normally convert JPGs to PNG files, unless the image uses transparency, which the JPEG format can't use (in any program, not just iweb).

  • Taking the full resolution photos from my iPod and putting them on an eMac

    I'd like to put all the 5000+ photos that are on my iPod (and my new iMac) onto my wife's eMac. HOWEVER, I really don't want to mess with anything else on her computer. (Truth be told, I'm under a "never touch my computer again" order from doing on too many "improvements".)
    But I would like her computer as a back up on the family photos. So, how do I do it?
    Also, there are several album's worth of somewhat good music that she's purchased using her computer. How do I get it onto my computer? (Again, without endangering her stuff in any way?
    Thanks.

    If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in Finder, open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to the desktop. For enabling disk use look here.

  • Full resolution with effect applied

    hi guys,
    Still in my effect dependent of downsampling factor.
    To be able to do a correct result of my effect I need the full resolution input and not downsample input.
    I thought about 2 methods.
    1) I render the effect Layer using AEGP_GetEffectLayer and AEGP_RenderAndCheckoutFrame with no dwonsample. Then I get the input, but without any effect applied
    2)I render the effect comp the same way. The I get a full resolution the input + my effect applied. This mean I have to render my effect at full resolution any ways.
    I wonder if there is a way to render the comp with all effects in full resolution UNTIL my effect (so not all the effect applied after...)
    example:
    Layer
         E1
         E2
         my effect
         E3
    1) gives Layer at full resolution
    2) gives Layer+ E1,E2, my effect, E3 at full resolution
    I want Layer +E1,E2 at full resolution.

  • Capture full resolution HD ?

    Now I got the nice Canon HV20, and when capturing with iMovie HD, it looks like I do not get full resolution.
    My project can only be 1080i 25p, and I can't really get the 25p from my HV20.
    I can not find any way to get screenshots in full resolution.
    How can I get to work in 1080i50 ? I want to capture and work in full res.

    Hello povlhp,
    Now I got the nice Canon HV20, and when capturing with iMovie HD, it looks like I do not get full resolution.
    What exactly do you mean by full resolution?
    How can I get to work in 1080i50 ?
    iMovie captures HDV via Apple Intermediate Codec, meaning it transcodes from the HDV MPEG-2 to a format that can be edited in iMovie. If you want to capture HDV natively, you'll need Final Cut Pro 5 or higher - but beware, editing HDV natively isn't without problems due to the compressed format.
    hope this helps

  • Save Full Resolution Image iPhoto

    I was editting a photo on my iPad3 in iPhoto, and when I save it to the camera roll, it is significantly compressed and the textures in the graphic I'm using get lost and blurry. is there a way to save a photo without it being compressed?
    What I did was bring in a graphic I made, and editted it in iPhoto, saved it to the camera roll and when I compare the two images in iPhoto, the original is crisp and sharp but the other one that I saved has bad aliasing and has blurred out most of the texture in the graphic.
    What is going on here. The help area says that saving a photo to the camera roll saves it in full resolution. But why is it compressing it still?
    Any help appreciated.
    -MIB

    I have the same problem with you, iPhoto didnt have us to choose the resolution, it auto resize and compressed the file.

  • Mini-dp to vga or hdmi, need full resolution

    I've HP laptop which has two ports, VGA and HDMI.
    I want to connect the Apple 27: display, which has the mini-dp output to my laptop. When I purchased the display, I bought a mini-dp to hdmi adapter, and connected the display to the adapter, and connected the adapter to the laptop using a hdmi-hdmi cable. But, the image is very blurry, and I'm not getting the max resolution on the display.
    Could you someone give any advice/comments? Do I need a dual link dvi-d adapter?
    Thanks!

    Your laptop isn't compatible with the Apple 27" monitor. There are only two possible interfaces that can be used to drive the 27" at full resolution. One is DisplayPort and the other is Dual-link DVI, neither of which your laptop has.

  • Why can't I get the full resolution on my Ultrawide monitor when connected to my MBP?

    I just purchased an LG Ultrawide 29" monitor to hook up to my Macbook Pro (Mid-2010 model). The full resolution should be 2560x1080. The only cable that came with the monitor was an HDMI to HDMI cable, so I used a miniDisplayport to HDMI cable that I had. The screen popped up on the monitor, but it was stretched out, and there was a message saying it wasn't configured to the full resolution (and that I need to change it in the Display settings). The problem is there's no option in the Display settings for anything larger than the 1920x1080 standard resolution for this monitor.
    I checked the manual that came with the monitor and it mentions that using an HDMI cable with a mac won't allow me to use the full resolution (or sound for that matter). It says instead I need to use a DVI-D dual link cable to get the monitor to work properly with a mac. Only problem is, this particular monitor doesn't have a DVI port on it (I think the manual was referring to a similar but possibly older version that had HDMI, Displayport and DVI ports on it). This one only has two HDMI ports and one Displayport port on it. I browse around online for people that had a similar problem, and I see a comment saying I just need to get a miniDisplayport to Displayport cable and then everything will work fine. I finally bought said cable (which a lot of places apparently don't carry), plugged everything in, and still no dice. The only resolution options for the monitor are still 1920x1080 and less.
    Is this a problem with my Macbook? From everything I've looked up, my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) should support it, and it says right on the packaging for the Displayport cable that it should support up to a 2560x1440 resolution.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

  • Bug with MP3 tags & full-resolution photo storage...

    My birthday was last week and I got a new iPod classic 120 gb......
    I am a music (67 gb) and photo buff (22 gb)......and I am having trouble with each. I am using the XP box to do the syncing, since my wife's iBook doesn't have enough storage space to hold all of our photos and MP3s.
    1) Music...... for xmas and my birthday I got 7 new CDs.... I ripped all 7 into iTunes prior to syncing my iPod for the first time and all 7 work perfectly on my family's 3 computers (laptop running OS X 10.4.11, laptop running Ubuntu, and an old Windows XP box that I use as a file server). Yet they all don't show up correctly on the iPod.....
    a) +Slumdog Millionaire+ soundtrack shows up in iTunes with each artist for each track listed correctly....yet on the iPod all songs are under "Various Artists"
    b) +The Best of Clifford Brown+ & +The Juno sountrack+ don't show up at all on the iPod even though they register correctly in iTunes
    c) Charles Mingus' +Mingus Ah Um+ & The Soundtrack for the movie Once.......shows up under album view on the iPod with "Charles Mingus" listed as the artist, but does not show up under Artist view.
    d) The other two CDs work normally.
    I ripped all of these CDs at the same time. They all work perfectly in iTunes and in Amarok on my laptop running linux. Why won't they show up correctly on my iPod? It is only these new CDs, the rest of of my giant library synced perfectly. I deleted the files and restored the iPod and the MP3s on the desktop from my back-up but that did nothing.
    What is causing this? Should I re-rip the original CDs?
    2) Photos.....I think this is just an Apple thing....but I thought I'd ask....I take LOTS of pics.....my pictures all synced up perfectly with my iPod. I selected the option to upload the full resolution photos as an added redundant back-up since i have the extra space on the iPod......but iTunes didn't take my existing file structure (each folder is an album)...it dumped my 20,000 plus photos into a single folder for March 15th (The day of the original sync) in the iPhoto style file system. The tags are all intact with the correct date, but iTunes didn't read them.
    I know this is a personal preference thing.....but I stopped using iPhoto exclusively because it made backing up my photos too cumbersome between different operating systems. I've always found it ironic that it is easier to illegally share copyrighted MP3s out of iTunes then to share non-copyrighted family pics out of iPhoto. It seems my iPod is forcing me back into the iPhoto file system. Is there a way to get iTunes/iPod to just copy my existing file structure so that I can navigate through album folders rather then the giant mass of photos.

    Shawn, the issue with the music is likely due to the fact that the CDs in question are compilations (or at least marked as compilations in iTunes).
    When an album is labeled as a compilation, the iPod will not list its contents under the artist, instead, you need to enable compilations on the iPod and look there. It will also place the album art for these tracks at the end of Coverflow.
    You can undesignate tracks as compilations by right clicking the tracks, choosing "Get Info" and go to:
    Options tab (if you are highlighting multiple tracks)
    Info tab (if you are highlighting single tracks)
    I can't help with your photo issue (I only have music on my iPod), though you are probably correct that this is just the way Apple has chosen to file the photos.
