Full Screen Purchased Content to Widescreen

Well, a while ago I purchased a few episodes of Lost Seasons 1 and 2, and the season pass to 3. What I eventually noticed was how the latter content gradually switched to wide screen.
Clearly the entire catalog was updated with wide screen and replaced the older full screen files.
My question is if Apple support will be courteous and let me re-download the same content, but for wide screen. I know that people in the past could re-download old content they lost and such, and was hoping the same could be done in my case.
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have ideas or experience in this field?

  • What's with the "Full Screen" movie rentals?

    I"m as ****** as the next guy about the "No HD rentals" issue, but even more ****** off that most of the rentals I'm clicking on aren't just not available is HD, but aren't even available in "Widescreen". All Macs have a "widescreen" display now, and even your iPods, iPod Touch, and iPhone's are widescreen. No one wants to download a rental of a "Full Screen" movie anymore. My God, "300" in Full Screen - What are they thinking? If they want to offer "Full Screen" rentals, it should be an option, like when you go to the video store to buy a DVD, and are offered a "Full Screen" version or a "Widescreen" version. I don't think they even sell Full Screen TVs anymore. I have the same problem with PPV from the cable company... If it is not offered in Widescreen, I don't rent it. The same will be true here. I just never imagined Full Screen would ever even be offered, much less the only option.

    The iTunes store has pretty much everything in widescreen that it can, but as with most televisions and "home theater" setups... Widescreen really doesn't matter. I know that some people prefer widescreen, but I don't. I have a projector not a TV so I have a 20 foot screen and the black lines in most "widescreen" movies eats up 4-5 feet of space. The only movies that come formatted for a widescreen TV in the first place(I am talking about on DVDs) are the Anamorphic Widescreen DVDs. They have a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, but very few DVDs actually have this, most are in 1.85:1 aspect ratio or 16:9 which is actually a fullscreen movie with black lines at the top and bottom.
    As for HD rentals in the iTunes store, this is AppleTV only, and that is not Apple's fault, this is due to DRM. In order for you to play a copy-protected Blu-ray or HD DVD you have to have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP compliant hardware, the apple TV is HDCP, but you computer is not, so therefore Warner Bros/FOX/Sony etc. Can not be guaranteed that you won't be able to pirate their content.
    Most people do not have a widescreen TV, and yes most Computer screen LCDs are capable of just about any resolution, but a lot of people are still in the non-HD zone.
    I agree that many people want HD content, however given how hollywood lost the battle to keep DVDs copy-protected, they have taken enormous steps to protect HD content.....

  • ITunes: Purchased Content // iPod Touch?

    Ok I haven't recieved my Touch yet, and i'm trying to get my library ready, but, because i'm not 'up to scratch' with encoding methods etc etc ... if i've bought music videos/Tv shows and the like from the iTunes Music Store. Will this content automatically be the ratio of the iPod Touch screen when synced? - Or do I need to re-encode all of them to fit the screen prefectly?
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thankyou.

    Hi razor!
    Ok so I just got my ipod touch the other day and i synced a movie that i bought from ITMS and even synced a movie that I had converted in itunes using the "Convert selection to ipod" in the advanced menu. Both movies appeared so great ! Especially the store bought movie. The detail was great for the size of the screen and there was no pixilation occurring. THe movie that I had to convert took some time so do when you have some down time. THe music videos that i bought from ITMS were also great to watch. THe ratio of the music videos, and movies will fit perfectly on the ipod touch.
    Any movies that are bought that are widescreen then they will appear as so on the ipod touch. But the ipod touch allows you to zoom the video to fit the parameters of the full screen. So any widescreen movies will have some clipping on the edges. There as no such clipping on the music videos i tested it with. I would not worry about re encoding any of your videos unless they are not converted to fit the ipod. Cause any such video file will not sync to the ipod touch and you will need to convert them in itunes.

  • Can't see TV shows purchased from Music Store in Full Screen Mode

    Prior to the release of iTunes 7.0, I had been purchasing episodes of LOST from the iTunes Music Store and watching the episodes on my Mac in Full Screen viewing mode.
    Since downloading iTunes 7.0, I have been unable to watch any television shows purchased from the Music Store from that date forward in Full Screen mode. When I select iTunes>View>Full Screen I can hear the audio, but I cannot see the image. Instead, my monitor goes totally black. If I select iTunes>View>Fit to Screen, I am able to see the video, however, the video does not fill up my screen...instead, I have about two inches of desktop showing on either side of the image. Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can once again watch purchased television shows in Full Screen mode?
    By the way, I am now running iTunes 7.0.2.

    Alan, I just checked and I don't see a section for TV shows in the Canadian store. As the initial deal was made with ABC, I doubt that there is any content available yet for you. I do see the pixar section and the music video section, however.
    Similarly, a visit to the Apple Canada site shows no mention of being able to download TV shows.
    As with the music, it is going to take a separate lisence to bring TV content to each store. If and when that is going to happen, no one around here would be able to say.

  • Widescreen & Full Screen Version

    I'm a new Apple user - using iMovie '09.
    I'd like to burn a widescreen and a full screen version of my presentation to a DVD. Is this possible?
    Or do I have to send the widescreen version to iDVD and burn it and then edit it in iMovie to full screen and burn a 2nd DVD?
    Ideally I'd like to be able to send both versions to iDVD to burn on the same project/DVD.
    Thanks!

    You're working in the wrong format. I don't know what's going on with all your material, but if your material is 16:9 you should be working in DV NTSC Anamorphic sequence. You need to switch to the correct preset and make a new sequence. Copy the contents from the bad sequence to the good, anamorphic one. You will then have to use remove attributes to set it back to work correctly. This is assuming your material was correctly captured as DV Anamorphic and the anamorphic flag is set in the browser column.

  • DPS Animation & Full Screen Video functionality failure when viewing mag in Adobe Content Viewer

    HI There,
    Specifically the following issues are occuring when we view the mag through the Adobe Content Viewer on our Ipad.
    All Title animations are not functioning at all (although in the SWF viewer they are working fine)
    Although we select the media to be played full screen when we are setting up the videos in the media panel they won't play full screen, but play perfectly well in the place we put them. - full screen doesnt function in the SWF viewer either.
    The control bars to control playing, stopping, full screen etc also don't appear on our videos we selected.  - doesn't function in the SWF viewer like it should with the control bars working
    In terms of how we set everything up just to confirm we are doing it right.
    For animations.
    1. Select copy to animate
    2. Click on Animations panel, chose the preset fade in, selected the time 1.25seconds, animate from current appearance, fade in.
    For videos
    Our videos are H264 Quicktime videos all 16x9 in ratio
    1. Went to media panel.
    2. Searched for file to insert
    3. Inserted it and sized down the actual physical size of the video to fit in the space we wanted (NB we didn't create a rectangle to put them in or anything)
    4. Chose the poster from file
    5. Selected skin over play full screen & show controller over rollover
    Any help to sort this out would be appreciated.  Thanks so much in advance

    Hi BellaMove:
    For the animations:
    You have to create a document with the size of the animation you want to create and give attributes using the animation panel of indesign.
    Then you export to fla and using Adobe Wallaby pass it to HTML5.
    Then place them by the panel Overlay Creator (Web Content). Using the Content Viewer can not see it on your desktop. You'll have to climb the publication in the ipad to see the result.
    Do not forget to retouch the css. Read this:
    http://digitalpublishing.tumblr.com/post/3898796141/animate-headlines-or-other-things
    Is the simplest way to make simple animations I've found.
    I hope you find it helps

  • Unable to watch purchased movies full screen

    Using:
    Mac Mini G4 1.25Ghz 1GB RAM
    Gateway FPD2185W 21" LCD HD Monitor (connected via VGA)
    1680x1050@60Hz resolution (native resolution of monitor)
    iTunes 7.0.2 (15)
    Quicktime 7.1.3 (PRO)
    The last 2 video purchases I have made from the iTunes store will not work using the fullscreen display preference in iTunes. The videos bought were "Taking The Wheel", and "Death Race 2000". When I try to play them full-screen, all I get is a black screen. I can hear the audio playing just fine, and I can see the mouse pointer, but no video shows, and the on-screen controls do not appear. The videos work fine in window mode, unless I try to enlarge the window. If I try to do that, the video either goes all black, or goes all white.
    I already contacted support, and all they did was gave me a video credit to try and re-download "Taking The Wheel" (I bought Death Race 2000 several days later). Re-downloading the video did not solve the problem, which leads me to believe that it is either a problem with how the video is encoded, or a problem with a recent iTunes or Quicktime update.

    Follow-up, if I open the videos with Quicktime directly, they play fine in full-screen, they still don't work set to full-screen in iTunes though.

  • I created a table of contents in Indesign CS4 exported it to a pdf format. Now having an issue in viewing it in full screen mode.

    When I open the pdf document it is in full screen mode and when I click onto a table of content link it is  full screen vertical but not full screen horizontal.  How do I make it full screen both ways.

    You are not making sense. Are you referring to the way the PDF is opened into your PDF reading application? If so, what has that to do with a 'table of contents'?
    In any case, it seems not related to a problem with InDesign. Try the Acrobat forum instead.

  • How to keep content centered in full screen mode

    I've searched all over Google and in here but am surprised to
    find nobody else with the same problem!
    How do you keep all of the items centered inside a Div when
    switching to full screen mode in IE? Everything in my "#global" Div
    shifts upwards creating a big mess and doesn't stay where it should
    in my content box (which is part of the background. There's no
    problems when resizing the window by dragging, just when using full
    screen mode. Here is my body and #global code:
    body {
    background-image: url(images/background2.jpg);
    background-color:#ECE5C8;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position: 50% 50%;
    margin-top: 4%;
    margin-bottom:4%;
    #global {
    margin:auto;
    position:relative;
    width: 784px;
    height:554px;

    > background-position: 50% 50%;
    > margin-top: 4%;
    > margin-bottom:4%;
    Why use a percentage margin?
    Can we see the rest of the page?

  • I have recently purchased Toy Story 3 in HD for my Ipad 2, however, I cannot view it in full screen. Why is this ? Can anyone help

    I have recently purchased Toy Story 3 in HD for my Ipad 2 but cannot view it in full screen. Why is this ? Can anybody help

    Don,
    Do you have iTunes installed on your laptop? If not, I think you will need it to see your laptop photos on AppleTV.
    After installation, on the menu bar go to Advanced -> Choose Photos to Share and then select the folders you want.
    In respect of printing, only a limited number of recently available printers are compatible. There are Apps which work around this, but I'm not able to recommend one.

  • In v.11, how do I burn a DVD to full-screen? I tell it to, but the program keeps burning to widescreen.

    In V.11, how do I burn a DVD to full-screen?  I have told it to, but it keeps burning to widescreen.

    Rodney
    Great news. Great job sorting through the details.
    The core of your issue went to the differences between Premiere Elements 9 and 11 and its default project presets and how project preset is set.
    Some of the factors are found
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
    Add to the mix, that the project preset directs the program to make certain settings (assumptions). So, if you have a HD project preset, you are going to see NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD set as the default in the burn dialog. I am guessing that you were letting the project control setting the Premiere Elements 11 project preset, and it was giving you its default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 instead of NTSC DV Standard.
    But the ground rules are
    a. know the properties of your source media
    b. set the project preset to match the properties of the source media (if the project does not do it right, then you set the project preset manually)
    c. keep the export settings consistent with the other project settings.
    I will spare you the rest of the details for now. Just know, please do not hesitate to ask if you have questions or need clarification.
    Thanks.

  • How do i change widescreen to full screen

    how do i change widescreen to full screen?
    Is it possible?
    I currently have handbrake, pspware, fcp studio.
    what can i use.
    please help?
    I dont care if it takes a while. (4x3) looks better on the ipod

    You can view widescreen video at 4:3 on your iPod with video. Just go into the Video Settings menu in the Video menu and turn widescreen off. After you do this, your iPod will display ALL video at 4:3 regardless of the video's aspect ratio.
    Hope this helps!

  • Widescreen full screen?

    This might sound like a stupid question but I thought I'd check! I'm important widescreen footage from a DV cam, into iMovie HD 6. The project is set to be DV Widescreen and the frame rate is set to 25 (because I'm PAL).
    I import the footage but when I play it back full screen from within iMovie, I still get letterboxing top and bottom of the screen. It looks fine when I play it within iMovie with the normal play button (not full screen). Should I have the Automatic DV Pillarboxing & Letterboxing option switched on or off? It seems to make no difference in this case.
    I assumed I'd be able to play back full screen, without the letterboxing. Is it because I am using an Apple 23" Cinema Display? Its resolution is 1900x1200 - perhaps this isn't 16:9 or maybe I'm missing something else.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi Gavin!
    A widescreen 16:9 DVD is intended to fill the screen
    of a modern widescreen TV, but even there you may
    still get the occasional bar at the top and bottom
    from retail DVDs of films shot in an even wider
    format.
    The resolution of 16:9 DV is 1900 x 1080 - maybe
    enough of a difference to be noticeable on your 23"
    display (Klaus suppresses jealous snort). Even
    on my mere 20" iMac the image from full-screen 16:9
    DVDs, including ones in iMovie, do not quite
    match the exact screen size.
    As to your question: Automatic DV Pillarboxing &
    Letterboxing should be OFF, just set it at 16:9.
    Hi Klaus!
    Many thanks for your answer, that's a big help right away. I guess if 16:9 DV is 1900 x 1080 and the Cinema Display 23" is 1900 x 1200 then there would have to be black bars. Can someone with a 23" Cinema Display confirm this?
    Thanks for the answer to the Automatic DV Pillarboxing/Letterboxing, glad to get that cleared up as I was confused.
    (And yes, the Cinema Display is gorgeous, well worth the extra cost!)

  • Change background colour of full screen slideshow when set to fit content proportionally

    I've signed up for a demo of Muse and must say I'm very impressed. Having used Dreamweaver in the past at Uni, often getting bogged down in code, Muse is a designers dream. I've even told some friends about it, describing it as "InDesign for web designers". The features, and tutorials on Adobes site, are fab however I'm now needing a bit of assistance.
    I'd like several images to fit the whole screen on a specific section of my Muse website, right under the navigation bar. I've noticed the easiest way to do this is create a full screen slideshow. With this option I can add one, or multiple, pictures to fade in and out - communicating various messages and selling points. By default the widget options are set to Fill Frame, which expands my graphic to completely fill the browser. Unfortunately with this selected the image loses some quality and seems to zoom in, getting cropped in the process. When changing the settings to Fit Content Proportionally everything looks great. The graphic is smack bang right under my navigation like I desire however there is also a ghastly grey box either side because the graphic is now it's original size. The grey on either side seems to be the slideshow background colour but I am unable to figure out a way to alter this - from grey to black. Please see the link for more info: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/50403221/Screen%20Shot%202014-08-14%20at%2018.00.34.pn g
    Would any fellow Musers know of a way to get round this? Or perhaps should this be an enhancement request?
    Thanks, Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Can you select the slideshow widget that you have added and check the fill color in control panel.
    Please refer to the following screenshot :

  • How to maximize safari internet content to fit full screen?

    I just 've bought Macbook Pro 17" yesterday and I have a problem about Safari.
    After I opened it to full screen but the content of internet did not fit the full screen.
    I had to zoom in content to maximize it to fit screen but it's inconvenient.
    After opened new window, it was still same.
    Thank you.

    You have to strech the window out first, then it doesn't aways rememebr it.
    Safari has a zoom page feature, hold the command shift and plus (or minus) key.
    Problem is you have to do it for every single site, quit Safari and you have to do all again.
    Firefox has NoSquint add-on, which you can set a default minimal zoom level for all sites, and/or tweak each page and then IT REMEMBERS IT.
    If you got the high res model, you may also want to look into Theme Font & Size Changer for Firefox, it allows the type of Firefox itself (in the toolbar area) to be increased so it's not so tiny.
    This is another problem with Apple, not making their UI slightly scaleable and keeing the sharpness.
    But that's life.
