Fuzzy on Cinema Display- PLEASE HELP :-)

Hi,
I recently made a presentation in FCP, the project set for playback at DVNTSC. The project was burned using iDVD and intended to be watched on TV. Now, I want to watch the DVD presentation on my 30 inch Apple Cinema display. When I play it back, it is very fuzzy. Since the project was set originally at 720x480, I cannot expect it to look good on the monitor, right? What changes would I have to make to my FCP project in order to to make a new DVD look good on the Cinema display? And what about the rectangular vs square pixels issue? I can't remember if monitors have the rectangular pixels... Thanks.
p.s. there is no video in this project--everything created from stills/ effects from Motion.

You've got the concepts correct. Your image is being expanded to fill the display by a factor of at least twice, to more than 1500 pixels, maybe 2000. That doesn't mean you get more pixels out f the video, it just means the video pixels are getting bigger to fill more monitor pixels.
If you step back from the 30" four times as far as you are from your 17" TV set, the image will look pretty good.
The rectangular/square pixel thing? I pretend that problem doesn't exist.

  • Using Cinema Display - Please Help

    Hi All,
    I have been working with my new 15" MBP and loving it, not one problem to report! I will be traveling with the MBP and when I come home, I would like to use this computer with my cinema display and apple wireless keyboard and all of my other home office stuff. Can you please tell me the correct way to use my cinema display with the MBP, I have never owned a laptop before - but this MBP is clearly better than my old G4 Powermac and I would like to keep everything on my new MBP rather than using two computers anyway.
    Also, is there an extension cable available for the cinema display to run from the monitor to the MBP?
    Thanks!

    It would be nice if you could be a little more specific with your request. The only correct way to use a display is to plug the DVI cable into the MBP. There should be something in display in your system prefs that will give you the option to mirror you laptop on an external display. Once you do that everything else should just work (assuming you plug it all in). When you say an extension cable you mean just for the video portion, right? Not any usb/firewire ports? If it is just DVI take a look here. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812712028
    that is a 10 foot dual link DVI cable. It will support through a 30" display so that should be a great cable. I hope this helped.

  • Rendering an error-display - Please help!!

    Hi everyone,
    I'm about to give up. I use the Orion 1.5.2 appserver for EJB, JSP and servlets. It works great and is the best appserver i've tried so far. Except for one thing:
    As it seems, Orion doesn't have a custom error-page. When I invoke 'response.sendError(...)', Internet Explorer receives the status-code and displays its own error-page ("this site could not be reached"). Netscape displays some similiar page, showing the status-code and the attached message. But I want to show a custom error-page, that show more information about the message, and looks good as well. How can I accomplish that? I've looked through the forum and browsed through the documentation of Orion... nothing...
    Ohh, and one more thing... Does anyone know how to make orion use another database than HSQL for EJB's? I want to use MySQL with the MySQL J/Connector.
    Please help me!
    Nille

    Finally!!!
    Thank you very much.
    Would it be possible to accomplish something like this:
    <error-page>         
         <error-code>*</error-code>
         <location>/error.jsp</location>   
    </error-page>and the corresponding JSP:
    <%
       int errorCode = ((Integer)request.getParameter("status-code");
       String message = (String)request.getParameter("message");
    %>
    <HTML>
       <HEAD>
          <TITLE>Error <%= errorCode %></TITLE>
       </HEAD>
       <BODY>
          Status-code: <%= errorCode %><br>
          Cause: <%= message %>
       </BODY>
    </HTML>So that I have a generic error-page that renders all sendError invokations, and can fetch the status-code and the attached message.
    If a ServletException occures and I have a page that handles this exception, can I reach the exception from the error-page? Something like request.getAttribute("exception"), or something like that.
    Thank you alot for answering!

  • I can not connect my apple display, please help

    I have a ibook G4 and a Mac mini G4 equal, long time ago that I am a mac user and the truth I am more than happy, there's nothing better.
    The point is that a few days ago I gave an "Apple 15" Cinema Display ADC studio monitor "and so far I have not been able to connect to any of my mac, they tell me I have to buy an ADC to VGA adapter, the question is whether someone knows where and how can I buy this adapter? Because Apple descuntinuo this product several years ago.
    Would greatly appreciate if anyone can help me because I would like to use this monitor

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Since the Mac Mini has a DVI port, you can use the DVI to ADC adapter:

    iBook G4s only have a mini-VGA port, which requires DrBott's VGAtor:

  • Weird ibook display please help!

    I have an ibook g3 dual usb. I was having crashes and couldn't empty the trash etc. etc so I decided to to do clean reinstall. I ran the disc through several disk utilities saying the disk needed to be repaired. I repaired it, then erased it. Put a new os, 10.2 and the weirdest thing happened, the os opened in a tiny screen within the screen. So went to system preferences and looked under displays, and only a 1024 x whatever, option is available! No other screen resolutions! So I updated it to 10.2.8 and it loaded ok (still small screen with screen with black backdrop) and now it won't restart. Keep getting the "you need to restart your computer..." in all languages. Please help.
    Thanks,
    Frenchy550

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It sounds like you've installed a version of the OS that is too old or incompatible with the iBook. Check out this Apple Knowledge Base article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25497
    Do you have the system CD's that originally came with the iBook?
    What is the MHz rating and what kind of optical drive does it have (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, or Combo)?
    How much RAM is installed?
    The "you need to restart your computer..." message is indicative of a _kernel panic_.

  • Songs minutes display - please help!

    Let me see if I can explain my question...I've been teaching Spinning at my gym for a couple of years now. For the songs I use, I've added with information about the song in the title to help me teach. For example, we may do something different during each chorus in a song. So if a song has 3 chorus' at :33, 1:45, 2:10, I add that at the end of the title and the information scrolls through as I am teaching. It keeps me from having to keep a notebook with my teaching notes. I have an ipod classic. We also now have an ipod nano. My ipod classic *counts the song up* - it starts at :00 and goes to the end. Our newer nano *counts the song down*. Does anyone know how I can change the newer ipod to count up like the older one does?? *PLEASE HELP*

    Doesn't it count DOWN on the lower right corner and count UP on the lower left corner (below the progress bar)? I don't have a nano, so maybe it's different.

  • Problem with system error messages display, please help me

    Hi,
    My problem is, if I run my form builder module, if I did any mistake for example
    “ if leave the primary key field or if oracle unable to insert record” the related System Error messages like say “ORA411155” OR FRM411152 are displaying
    in the bottom of the screen in the “ default toolbar or taskbar” , Now my requirement is to display such messages in the “Center of the screen” in the form of Alerts. What is the way of doing this. Please tell me step-by-procedure.
    Thanking you in advance for helping,
    Prasanth a.s.

    You can trap such error messages in a form-level on-error trigger:
      ERR_VAL NUMBER(5)     := NVL(ERR_IN,ERROR_CODE);
      MSG     VARCHAR2(150) := NVL(MSG_IN,SUBSTR('   '||ERROR_TYPE||'-'
                             ||TO_CHAR(ERR_VAL)||': '||ERROR_TEXT,1,150));Then you can display MSG in an alert.

  • Several white spots in the middle of the display, please help!

    Hello!
    I've already searched through the discussions and found some people with similiar display issues. But I just had to post this question because I'm panicing.
    I turned on my MacBook Pro 1.83 (It's from July '06) today just to notice a white spot at the right center of the display. At first I thought it was just some smear from a fingertipp, but it wouldn't go away. So I changed my wallpaper from the colourful one I have to a solid light grey default wallpaper.
    Then I noticed that I have 6 ! spots all forming a circle in the middle of the screen.
    I've been treating my MacBook Pro like a baby and mostly at home. Right now I'm using it exclusively at home because it's now semester break for my University. So it wasn't moved. Just sitting on my desk.
    Does anybody know if Apple will repair this? I'm still in the first year, obviously and have bought the Care Protection Plan. So I have 3 years.
    Some of the people here and on the net seem to have theirs repaired under warranty. But with display, you never know what they'll say.
    Any help and answers appreciated!
    Greetings from Germany.
    MacBook White 1,83 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Early model from July '06

    I have now spoken to a local store which does repairs for Apple here.
    (Funny thing: in Germany you can't send the Notebooks back to Apple for repairs anymore. You have to go to a Service Provider, which could be a problem outside of big cities.)
    He's says it's a known problem which will be covered by the warranty:
    so if this happen to any of you, don't panic like me: Apple will repair it.
    Now I hope my replacement screen won't have any pixel failures.

  • Motherboard not geting past MSI logo display - please help me if you can

    Hello all
    I have recently purchased a motherboard kit from a very respected retailer so all my components are compatible. It consisted of an MSI KT4V motherboard, an AMD Sempron 2600, a stick of 256MB DIMM, and a heatsink. I have installed them all as best to my knowledge but on booting up for the first time all I am getting is what looks to be an MSI logo screen. I have changed the jumper switches and tried other things but I am unable to get to the BIOS or anything.
    Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know of any methods I could take to try and resolve it ?
    Thanks

    Hello again.
    First can I just say thanks to everyone who has posted a reply to me here. I have brought my motherboard manual in for any specifications that is needed, unfortunately my power supply is back at my flat but it came with a chassis I bought from a different company. I know it's 400w if that's any consolation.
    Please understand that I am unable to get anywhere near BIOS - literally as soon as I power it up the power light comes on, you can hear the hard drives whirring, the DVD ROM spins, etc. but almost instantly an MSI logo is displayed on the screen and from there I can;t do anything. I am not given the chance to do anything before. Hitting Del does nothing, in fact the keyboard doesn;t even light up at all when I switch my computer on, almost as if it doesn;t recognise it or it doesn;t get as far as reading it or something. Surely there can;t be a problem with my graphics card as I'm guessing I wouldn't be able to see the dreaded MSI logo. I reseated most stuff like the RAM and swapped IDE cables etc. and that seems fine. I am really getting sick of seeing that infernal MSI logo screen !!

  • Images will not display, please help

    Hi,
    I have built a couple of sites, one with tables one CSS where
    my banners will not display on my screen when I view the site
    online. The sites are:
    www.gnewt.co.uk &
    www.getouthavefun.co.uk
    The banners are visible on some other computers online, but
    not all and the images display fine when i preview the site not
    online but in Firefox or IE. I have tracked the problem down to
    this, online when I right click where the image should be
    displaying it says the filename etc and for dimensions says:
    Image Dimensions: 1px × 1px (scaled to 950px ×
    120px)
    Size of File: 0.04 kB (43 bytes)
    I can right click and download the image to my desktop from
    the ftp and it will display fine, so it must be an html problem. I
    have been using templates and have uploaded a version not attached
    to a template and that makes no difference, I have also tried
    differing filetypes such as gif and png, again no change.
    Furthermore if you put in the incorrect URL for the image, at least
    then it displays the Alt Text.
    The html code is very basic:
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Banner" --><img
    src="banners/2.jpg" alt="banner" name="Banner" width="950"
    height="120" border="0" /><!-- InstanceEndEditable
    --></td>
    SO the image is there somehow but the browser thinks its only
    1px across, if you put in plain text it displays fine? Can anyone
    help me with why this happens as I have tried everything I can
    think of - i'm not particularly good with html so it could be
    something elementary
    Thanks in advance

    >name="Banner" --><img src="banners/2.jpg"
    alt="banner"
    Sounds like the work of Norton. Don't ever use the word
    'banner' in any part of your images. Rename the image and alt text
    and see if that works.

  • Fuzzy because of microphone please help!

    im recording a real instrument track, my guitar. it's fuzzy though because the built in microphone is recording everything around me. i tried to mute the built in microphone to only get my guitar recorded but when i do that the guitar is muted as well.

    Can you explain how you are recording the Guitar? If the internal mic is on, then that's the only thing you are recording with.
    If your guitar is plugged in to the mac then this should help:

  • Flash video - YouTube/ iPlayer does not fit my secondary display, please help

    For the last few weeks, everytime I try and play video such as in iPlayer or YouTube on my secondary (1920x1080 Samsung TV 40") monitor, from my MacBook Pro 15" (New Thunderbolt version)  it has a border and does not fill the screen. The YouTube divx mode works fine and does fill the screen, it's happening on Chrome and Safari, I've reinstalled flash, but no luck - Please help

    You need to have Image+Wireframe ON to grab a drag point (little squares at each corner) to re-size to full screen.
    Ensure the Viewer and Canvas are set to "Fit to Window" before starting.
    Double click the small clip in the Timeline, it opens in the Viewer.
    Place the playhead over the Timeline clip.
    When you scale the clip in the Viewer you will see it update in the Canvas.
    This way you see waht you will get straight away.
