Green Layer on Top & Bottom of video when played on Comp. & TV after Encode

I shot video in HD (1080 60i) and captured it into FCP in that format and edited the whole project in that format. It plays fine in FCP when I preview it on my computer monitor.
I then went to Compressor and made it a SD (not HD) MPEG 2 Widescreen. I then imported it into DVD Studio Pro and set it up the proper way. When I went to simulate it, I noticed there was a green video layer on both the top and bottom of the screen right above where the black widescreen bars are.
I went ahead on burned the DVD as I always do. When I play it on widescreen TV I cannot see the black bars on Top and Bottom because it is a full picture and takes up the entire screen. When I play the DVD on a CRT Television, the black bars appear on top and bottom, like they are supposed to, and the green video is there on both the top and bottom like it is in DVD Studio Pro when I simulated it.
What is this green video doing there and how do I get rid of it? I never had this problem before. It seems only to be happening during the encoding process.
I am using a Mac Pro
Snow Leopard
Mac OS 10.6.4
Final Cut Studio 3
Thanks in Advance

What I like to do when testing is to create the action safe and text safe lines in photoshop and burn them on a test DVD so I can see how much overscan shows.
My HDTV only cuts off a little bit while my older TV's really cut allot and almost go to the text safe lines.
Just something fun to test out.
Im hoping one day we will just have no PAR's and no overscan just like our computers.
Have our TV's just like our computers so if looks good on a computer it will look the same on TV's but that day im sure is far off.

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

Why do i get a thin tear moving thru my video when playing on my lcd?

Why do i get a tear thru my video when playing on my lcd? I have tryed 60mhz monitors & 120's but I still get a single thin tear moving through the image. It happens mainly with HD footage when there is a lot of camera movement. I have an invidia gtx580 card, 24 gigs ram, cs5.5, 6 core proc. I'm using HDMI as I have a 42" tv hooked up to it at the moment. When I open the invidia software, the highest it goes to is 60 hertz & that is what it is set to.
Is there a setting that will take away this moving tear?

Different monitors, totally dif systems. They are DVI.
This sys is 3 ft sheilded hdmi. I only see the thin line tear when the camera moves fast. The monitor is 120 refresh rate & i tryed a 60 & it did the same thing. Mainly on HD foot when the camera moves quickly the thin horizontal tear appears temporarily then disappears when the action slows

I can hear the video when played on iPhone5 but when emailed the audio is very low

I'm unable to hear the videos when they are emailed from an iphone5. I can play it on the phone but the volume is extremely low when sent to email. Any answers on how I can hear the video played louder when I open it from email on pc?

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

Getting Videos to Play as Video When Playing Randomly with Music

I haven't been able to figure this out or maybe it can't be done. Is there a way to get music videos (or any video) to play as videos when they're intermingled with regular songs (MP3 or MP4a), playlists or otherwise?
When playing songs randomly in a playlist or if I play all songs, my videos with show the first frame of the video like it would album cover art and then just play the audio from the video. I hope this makes sense, thanks.

Thanks, I put the suggestion in last night. Hopefully it will be considered, I think it would be a nice feature to have. They could even add it in settings to play music videos as video when plaing among songs or not. Not sure if that's the best way to word that or not, but I'm sure they can figure it out.

[MSI RS480M2-IL] jerky video when playing mpeg2

My new msi rs480m2-il mainboard with venice 3000+ cpu and 512 mb twinmos ram shows problems when playing mpeg2 content. When playing recorded mpeg2 file the video is jerky (I already checked the video source, but it is random)
After first install of windows mce I found out the image was jerky and flashed the bios from 3.3 to 3.8 to see if it improves some things. The only improvement was that the CPU was recognised and that I could enable C&Q.
Then I did a fresh install of windows again (diabled all unneccesary stuff like firewire, second ide channel, onboard sound in the bios), but no improvements. It is totally worthless for usage as htpc.
After fresh install of windows I did the following:
- installed all windows updates
- installed ati catalyst 5.7 drivers
- installed nvidia purevideo decoder 1.02-150
The playback is in VMR9 with hardware acceleration enabled, this results in a CPU load of 40-50% (which I think is pretty high).
Where can I look?
- VGA card
- drivers
- Memory
- Bios
- RMA mainboard?
Is there anyone facing the same problems? Did anyone succeed to eliminate these problems?
I am also facing the temp problem (venice core) which shows a cpu temp that is way too high

Realtek A3.74 drivers from realtek website
There are a few threads in the Forum on problems with the more current Realtek driver sets and the board, e.g. poping and stuttering. It's always possible that the video playback is affected by audio. The set on the MSI CD that came with the board is good.
I tested newer and also encountered problems. I tested several of the Catalyst IGP sets without problems, but recommend you try the Realtek set on the CD. Make sure you uninstall the current set before you move back.
FYI.....I tested ALL TYPES of media with the rig in my profile and video was very smooooooth on all tests. Even streaming video from the net was good. It's now my daughter's system, and she says it's running perfect.

No sound in videos when played in iTunes or on iPod

I can get videos onto my ipod but there is no sound when i listen to them and also if i try to view them on iTunes i hear nothing either. But if i play it through Windows media player or on Quicktime then it will play sound... anybody know whats going on? all help appreciated!

If you used the 'Convert selection for iPod' feature in iTunes I had the same problem... there was sound from them in iTunes but not on the iPod

Tracks go to bottom of list when played

I just upgraded to iTunes 8.0.2 and now every time i play a track of an album it moves itself to the end of list of tracks for that album. So I'm in my library, I play the first track of an album, it plays and also moves itself to the end of list of tracks for that album. So basically if I start off in my library playing the first track of the first album, every time I click next track it goes to the first track of each album. The funny thing is that if I play all the tracks of an album they quit the described behavior. But manually playing every song in my playlist isn't really practical. I don't know if this is a bug, or if I tweaked a sorting option somehow, but some help would be much appreciated. I can't be the only person this has happened to. It's extremely annoying. I can't listen to an album all the way through without first playing every track on the album for at least a second.

I'm in library: music and it's sorted by artist. But it still moves any track i play from an album to the bottom of the list. The weird thing is it only does it once for each track. Once I've skipped all the way through an album, I don't have problems with those tracks or that album any more. It seems to me like iTunes imported/saved/loaded/corrupted the file that contains the library info somehow. I noticed after I upgraded to 8.0.2. I think it imported/loaded the database improperly. And I would delete and reload my music but I don't want to lose all the time I've spent rating songs. I could go through and play every track in my library manually, but with 40 GB's of music, it would be a little ridiculous. And until this is resolved if i try to play an album that hasn't been played since I upgraded iTunes to 8.0.2, it will play the first track, move itself to the bottom of the list, then when the track is over it will play the first track of the next album. So I cannot listen to an album all the way through without briefly skipping through each track first. Very annoying.
So my library is sorted by artist and the tracks are displayed in proper numerical order. Then, when I play a track that hasn't been played after the upgrade, it moves itself to the bottom of the list for that album.

My iPod Touch 3G 32GB from 4.2.1 to 4.3.2 cannot play the audio of videos when it's hold and after clicking Home button twice to play audio of the video,why?

When I hold down my iPod Touch 3G 32GB with 4.3.2 I can't play the audio of the video neither clicking play when it's hold why?

It's a limitation from 4.2.1 for iPhone 3GS and iTouch 3G and not for new devices as iPhone 4, iTouch 4G and iPad 2?

No video when playing QuickTime MOV file in iTunes

I received a QuickTime MOV file from a business associate who transferred it from his Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to his Mac. When I load up the file in iTunes on my Win XP machine, it will play back the audio, but there is no video. When I try to play it back in QuickTime, a window comes up telling me that additional software is needed. When I click the button to go download the software, a browser window comes up listing about 15 different products -- with no indication of which if any will solve the problem. I don't know for certain that any of them will, and I don't have time to download 15 products to test each one. Is there not a more simple way to find out what I need and where to download it? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this file to a friendlier format? This is video of a business event that we need to edit for distribution.

Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.

No video when playing a .wmv file?

I have a problem with a .wmv file. When I play it in QuickTime or VLC, I hear audio only, but no video. I have the latest Flip4Mac plugin and have no problems playing other .wmv files. The first time I played the file in QuickTime, as was directed to the Apple QuickTime components web site (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=OSX&ctype=696d6463&c subtype=4d535332) because "Additional software is required by QuickTime to playback this media...". But I see no plugin on that web site that would be applicable.
I would be grateful for any ideas as I want to purchase educational videos from this vendor, but can not if their files won't work on a Mac. The 43MB file can be downloaded here for testing: http://files.me.com/pschannong/x20p20
I run 10.5.6 on an Intel Mac.

No video when played in QT

Hello!
The videographer at my wedding filmed with a Sony EX3 camera and edited the film with FCP. She exported the final video to QT (.mov) and gave me a hard drive with it, but the video will not play with QT X or QT 7.6.6 (Pro). The audio plays fine.
The codecs listed in the Info for the files are: MPEG-2, Linear PCM, and Timecode. Dimensions are 1280 x 720, and Color Profile is HD (1-1-1).
I purchased the MPEG-2 codec from Apple, and when I attempt to open the .mov files in QT 7.6.6, the viewer window opens along with another Quicktime message window that says:
"Additional software is required for QuickTime to playback this media. It may be available
from the QuickTime Components page."
This page lists various available component options, but there's no information about which if any is the "additional software" required.
The file plays (both audio and video) on a machine with FCP installed (even when FCP is not open). I don't have FCP on my machines. The videographer said that the Codec for this file is XDCAM EX 720p25, which requires FCP.
I attempted a conversion with MPEG Streamclip, to no avail - audio plays, video doesn't.
Any tips about how to get these files to play would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

When you say "videographer" do you mean a friend who pointed a camera at where the noise was coming from or do you mean a skilled event photographer? If the latter, ask her to give you a file you can actually use, a factor, I don't mind pointing out, that should have been agreed to early in your negotiations. Call her immediately before she erases the source files.

Blurred video when playing TV show from iPOD

okay,
1. I played the video on the iTunes player on my PC and it looks fine
2. when i hook up the pod to the TV (all video and av cable connections are correct)
3. i get a blurred picture (the sound is fine)
what am i missing here?
thx,

Dell Inspiron Windows XP

I have the same problem with my video.
I think the cause is in the video conversion stage from video to mp4.
In my conversion programme the configuration was for 320x240 pixels which looks great on the small iPod screen, but when its on a 42" - not so good....
If you can adjust the resolution of your video conversion try that, only remember - a 640x480 pixel image is 4 times the size(area) of a 320x240 so your video will take up more space.

No video when playing disc burned from iDVD on DVD player

I've tried for the first time to burn a DVD (TV shows purchased on iTunes) and followed the directions from the iDVD help guide, but when I try to play on my external DVD player there's no video, only audio. I saw a couple posts where people had video and no audio, but not the opposite. How do I resolve? I'm using Memorex DVD-R discs and am not very technologically savvy.

Hi fitzmonster
Welcome to apple discussions. Just to add to the already good advice mentioned above. I do have a question. By any chance are you using Memorex Dvd's? If so, it simply adds one more variable to an already bad equation. Try Verbatim or Maxell instead.
Given the lack of recent updates to iDvd, seems to me Apple is currently focused on streaming content from your Mac to your TV thru such products as iTunes and their latest AppleTV. iDvd doesn’t always fit into this mix. In comparison, iDvd is dated / old technology centered entirely on standard definition TV. Their latest AppleTV is well beyond this.
Also there are many products out there that work rather well together and may be better matched on your mac other than iTunes, AppleTV and iDvd. One must keep in mind that iDvd is not really intended as a general purpose burn utility. Toast may be a better choice here but neither iDvd nor Toast will circumvent DRM.
So the question we need to ask is, How well do all three apple apps / products mentioned above play together? Are they in harmony? IMHO the answer is no .... mainly because iDvd is rather dated technology. Hence, as a consumer I do think it's smart to look elsewhere / at other products /options if the intention is to burn TV Programs to Dvd-R ... as opposed to streaming content from a mac to your TV or iPod.
Like I said, Roxio Toast is a reasonable choice but Elgato combined with EyeTV3 software is even better one. It's better because it’s written and built around recording TV shows / programs. That and it's not limited to iTunes.
