Getting the widescreen video format WITHOUT the black letterbox

Hi,
I'm making a website and trying to put up a video with a format similar to this website - www.born2consult.com
I'm using a regular DV camera (which has the 16x9) format.
My problem is that I shot my video in 16x9 format but when I import it, then export it from iMovie, the black letterbox is still part of the video. But as you can see from the website I linked from above, I don't want that letterbox.
So is there a way to get rid of this letterbox?
- Should I be shooting in regular 4:3 format, or 16x9 format?
- Does iMovie even allow this capability?
- If not, how do I do it in final cut pro?
Thanks everyone.

This is the iMovie 5 forum. If you are running that you may get problems as it is largely incompatible with Leopard.
In iMovie 6 you should set preferences for the project as DV Widescreen and NOT check the box 'automatic letterboxing & pillarboxing'.

Getting the black screen on my 6mth old macbook pro. Reboot and nothing happens.

Getting the black screen on my 6mth old macbook pro. Reboot and nothing happens. It sometimes rebbots by holding down on/ off key. But will go black screen and die a few minutes later. Any help much appreciated.

If you experience distorted video or no video . . . take your affected product to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store to determine which service and support options are available. If you plan to visit an Apple Retail store, make a reservation at the Genius Bar using http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
No, it has not cost anything in the past.
Note: as of Dec 7th 2012, it is unlikely products qualify for this extended repair coverage.
That does not mean it's an automatic "no."

I am trying to reinstall winows 7 on my iMac and it will not install. I am using the latest drivers ( v4.0) but I still get the black screen. I have made sure that the auto install and the drivers are at the root level on my USB flash drive.

I am reinstalling W7 on my iMac and keep getting the black screen. I had installed W7 before when using Snow Leapord but W7 doesn't want to install with the latest drivers (v4.0). W7 was working with Lion but I had to uninstall W7 and now I cannot reinstall.

NOTE: Just discovered that Adobe is making a bigger mess than any previously.
They now have a 32-bit uninstaller for Flash '''''AND''''' a separate 64-bit uninstaller for Flash. You will need the 64-bit uninstaller for what you had installed above.

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup

Will the 810 get the "Black" update?

The title pretty much sums up my question. Will the 810 get the "Black" update? I saw a chart on Nokia's website and this was the only model that was showing as "not available".

The 810 is not getting the Black update. So...
Until couple days ago I was an owner of an 810 (loved it) and was abandoned by T-Mobile. If dropping support for a phone less than a year after selling it is "uncarrier", then give me a real carrier any day.
So, in protest, I did some research and decided to switch to AT&T. Your options for Win phone on T-Mo are the 521 and 925. AT&T also has the 925, so I compared the two carriers.
A 925 on T-Mo will cost you $480. Then the plan is $50 + $10/mo for 2.5GB data. JUMP adds another $10 for a total of $70/mo with the option for a new phone in 6 months.
A Nokia Lumia 925 on AT&T cost me $330 at my local AT&T corporate store. I got a $200 switchers credit, plus they gave me $100 to trade in my beloved 810. So the 925 cost me $30 in the end. AT&Ts Next12 plan is $45/mo -$15 credit = $30, plus $40/mo for 1GB data (enough for me). Again, that's $30 for a brand new 925, then $70/mo with the option for a new phone in 12 Months. Not exactly apples to apples, but close enough. And AT&T has better network coverage.
Bye T-Mobile and your poor customer loyalty.

I have tried EVERY suggestion Adobe has made and no matter what, I get the black "Adobe Reader Installer" screen EVERY TIME!! Any suggestions to help me overcome this problem would be appreciated. BTW: I have a Windows 7 Home OS. I prefer FireFox. I have successfully downloaded Adobe Reader using all the major browsers, however it does NOT matter, I am NOT able to actually install Adobe Reader, every time all I get is the black pop-up "Adobe Reader Installer" screen!!!

PS.... I had a previous version on my computer that needed to be updated.... so I uninstalled it because I was having trouble installing the new version.... so even that did not help!!

How do i get the black screen to go back on when im on a call to stop me cutting them on? x

When i am on a call, my iphone 4 used to black when i put my ear to the phone, this mechanism was to stop you touching buttons on your touch screen key pad, however mine no longer does this and i keep cutting people off on the touch screen how do i get the black screen back on when im on a call? x

I'm not sure what you are referring about.
Do you mean the orange Firefox menu button?
In current Firefox releases (29 and later) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the three-bar Firefox Menu button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar and this button is always visible whether the Menu Bar is visible or hidden.
You can no longer hide the Navigation Toolbar.
*There is a star like button next to the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar to bookmark the current web page and a "Show your bookmarks" button next to it to open the Bookmarks in a drop down menu.
*You can find "Show All Bookmarks" to open the Bookmarks Manager (Library) at near the top of the drop-down list.
*If you bookmark a page then "Bookmark This Page" in the Bookmarks menu as well as the tooltip of the star changes to "Edit This Bookmark".
*You can toggle the title bar on/off via the "Title Bar" button at the bottom left in the Customize palette window.
You can still have the Menu Bar visible via the right-click context menu of a toolbar to have menus like the File menu with Print (Ctrl+P) and Print Preview and the Bookmarks and History and Tools menus.

Will we get The Black Hole soundtrack that is on the US Itunes in the UK???

As usual the UK version of Itunes is way behind the US one. They seem to have a far better database of film music than the UK one. Will we be getting the Black Hole soundtrack that has recently been posted on the US store?

Sorry, but we're all just your fellow users here and have no way of knowing what may or may not appear in an given country's iTunes Store. You can submit suggestions for the iTunes Music Store through the feedback page (make sure you clearly specify which country's iTunes Store you're referring to). Whether or not your suggestion will ever be acted upon will depend on a number of factors, some out of Apple's control (to start with, the artists and record companies have to be willing to license the tracks to Apple for your country), so don't expect instant action.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Quicktime Conversion, How do i save it without getting the black boxes???

I am new to Final Cut pro, and when I try to export as a Quicktime, (so that I can open it as a quicktime on any computer that doesn't have final cut) it doesn't work. All these black rectangles appear on the canvas and saves it with the black rectangles....I wish I could post a photo to explain to you what I mean...Any chance one of you could give me your email so I can send you a freeze frame of what I'm talking about?
It's beyond frustrating and I need to deliver it today! And be able to upload a high quality version to youtube!
Thanks so much!
Confused,
Radha (my email [email protected])

Hi, Thank you so much! I checked all the boxes, but when I bring it into compressor, what format do I save it under? Apple Pro Res something something-- I want to be able to upload the quicktime to Youtube/Vimeo in the highest resolution possible, and also want to be able to open in on a computer that doens't have final cut pro and all the "codecs" or whatever they're called. Thank you so much.

I have 34.0.5 and am still getting the black and pages don't open, in addition I am not getting an error message like I used to, HELP!

I will be watching something and get a black screen. I open a new page and I get a black screen that never opens into the page. These problems only started with my recent update. I can refresh and it doesn't seem to do anything - HELP!
The other weird thing is that I don't get the firefox popups I used to that would close it and fix the problem. Not that I liked it having to shut down, but at least it then worked.

It seems to be better with the first solution. I will come back if it doesn't work. Thanks!

Anyone else getting the BLACK screen of death after Kitkat 4.4 update?

Ever since the update, my phone is wacked, like everyone elses. I got my Samsung Galaxy S4 a month ago. Beautiful, loved it. Update happens: I want to pitch this thing as far as I can throw it.
The phone rings. I go to answer it but all I have is a BLACK SCREEN which is LOCKED. I have the lock on the screen, but if the screen is black, you can't see it - and you can't answer the phone! One day, I got a message, and could not get to that. Why? the BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH.
Someone told me to turn off Samsung Watch On and that has helped with some of the issues. But I still get the screen occasionally, and my battery life is GONE.
How do we get rid of this update? Should I just call Verizon and get a new phone with the OLD software? I hate this. I feel like I was the victim of bait and switch.

ltg123 - did you resolve the problem yet? If so, let me know how.
My (hopefully temporary) solution was to turn off my "Lock Screen" ... to do this, go to Settings, My Device, Lock Screen ... and select None.
The only issue is that you would no longer have any security for your phone and would be vulnerable to someone stealing your phone and having full access to whatever is on your phone that does not require a separate id and password. Dangerous, yes ... but, for me right now, it's better than not having any access to my own phone!
The Android update simply sucks ... some heads should roll for allowing such a crappy update to get (no pun intended) rolled out.

Where can I get the black plastic feet/plug for a MBp A1278?

One of our children have apparently removed one of the black rubber/plastic feet, from the bottom of my wife's MBp A1278. I would have discounted it as a cosmetic item, but when the wife uses the laptop on a hard surface, it rocks. And well, she is unhappy, so I am here.
I understand that in the process of replacing one, I may have to purchase the entire set. But if it means that she is happy, then it is worth it. And who knows, down the road the kids may take out one of the others....

I talked to 1 person in Apple Store Sales, and 3 people in Apple Support. I could not get this kit ordered over the phone (and it's not available online anywhere). Apple Support advised me to buy 3rd party kits available on Amazon. (Not the same thing.) I made a Genius Bar Appointment at my local Mac store and showed them HT5236 in the Knowledge Base. I walked out with Part Number 076-1398 "MacBook Pro Foot Installation Kit, SIngle-Pack" times 2 since I needed to replace 2 of the feet. Each one was 10 bucks. You need a tiny bit of super glue to install, but it's not an onerous task. It comes with installation instructions. Only tool you need is the screwdriver to open the bottom case.

HT201263 tried the restore but it wont restore- just get the black screen with the plug into i tunes

Create Recovery Discs from your HDD, then load them onto the SSD.
Hope that helps,
