Green line on movies bottom when converted with H264/MPEG4 codecs-HELP PL!

Hi all,
Every time I convert movies from any Quicktime-readable format to .mov format (including .mov to .mov), the resulting movie has a (horrendous) *green line* on the bottom.
This happen only when I use Quicktime Pro. No other application give me this bad result.
As only one of many examples you can see in this screenshot a movie (right) made using iShowU with "Apple none" codec, which means that is totally uncompressed.
To reduce the size I have used QT with H264 codec. The result is (always) that green line (left).
No matter if I change the movie size or crop it. After all when I export it to save, the green line will be there again.
Could somebody please help me with this issue?

*Thank you very much.*

Thank you David.
Did work!
I also read the post you suggested.
My original video was 426x175 and I changed it in the export properties to 426x 174 . One (1) pixel smaller, and voila!
Doing this and reading that post doesn't match with Apple's straight forward style.
Imagine if you have a stubborn movie because of its dimensions?
I felt like doing medieval engineering.
Thanks a lot again, David.

Small thin line at the bottom when converting analog to digital

I encounter a small line at the bottom of my videos (this is also on the DVD that I burn) when I try to convert my Sony Hi8 to Digital while using iMovie HD6. When I try this at home on my Sony Viao PC with the built in Giga Pocket Converter there is no line. I thought that it might be my DV converter a datvideo DAC-200 so I got a PyroA/V Link converter and the result was the same. When I use my Sony DV Camcorder every thing is great. I talked to apple support and they said that it was probably the tape. I told them that I had tried several HI8 tapes and the result was the same. (they were no help) Does anyone have these issues BB

4. Frequently Argued Questions
4.1 Isn't 720 the real width of a 4:3 image? If not, then why are 720 pixels sampled instead of 711 or 702 (or whatever)?
720 pixels are sampled to allow for little deviation from the ideal timing values for blanking and active line lenght in analog signal. In practice, analog video signal - especially if coming from a wobbly home video tape recorder - can never be that precise in timing. It is useful to have a little headroom for digitizing all of the signal even if it is of a bit shoddy quality or otherwise non-standard.
720 pixels are also sampled to make it sure that the signal-to-be-digitized has had the time to slope back to blanking level at the both ends. (This is to avoid nasty overshooting or ringing effects, comparable to the clicks and pops you can hear at the start and end of an audio sample.)
Last but not least, 720 pixels are sampled because a common sampling rate (13.5 MHz) and amount of samples per line (720) makes it easier for the hardware manufactures to design multi-standard digital video equipment.

When capturing video; how do I get rid of the green lines at the bottom of the frame?

You have Canon ZR950 mini DV Camcorder, why not make a firewire connection and do DV data capture into the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Capture Window?
Do you have any reference for what you are attempting to do or is this a creation of your own? Could you confirm what you describe as "just capturing video".
a. From your information, you are doing Get Media/Webcam or WDM Device with the Capture Window showing the Capturing Device as "Dazzle DVD 100 Video Device". What type of connection are you making between the Canon ZR950 and the Dazzle DVD 100 and the computer?
b. What exactly do you expect to be putting on the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Timeline from this capture...DV AVI or something else?
Coming from the perspective of Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 known issues, I would ask you to consider:
a. Remove the check mark next to AutoAnalyzer in the Capture window. Even if you were doing this Capture the "usual way", that is highly recommended.
b. Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and compare your results with and without a check mark next to enable GPU playback. As a cross reference, please go to Edit Header/Effects/Video Effects and detemine if there is a category of Effects named GPU Effects. Do the same thing for Edit Header/Transitions/Video Transitions and determine if there is a category of Transitions named GPU Transitions.
And, the general drill for all users of Premiere Elements 8.0
a. Are you working with the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer Features turned Off?
See Premiere Elements workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General for background rendering option and Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options for AutoAnalzyer options.
b. Are you working from the 8.0.1 Update version of the program?
Please consider.
We will be watching for the outcome.
Thank you.

I am getting a weird green line at the bottom of my screen...

I am trying to burn a DVD in iDVD.
I keep getting a green line at the bottom of the screen. I tried "squaring" the pixels before outputting the project, but I didn't render the project this way in FCP before trying that.
Could that be the problem?
I also tried buring at 1x.
Any help would help!
Thank you,

Well to answer the questions. This artifact is in fact a physical one because you can see it when you boot the Mac and sign in with a different profile. I decided to test my luck at the local Apple Store just to see what they said. They looked at the display for about 3 minutes and then said that it would be nearly 700 bucks for parts and labor to basically put a new display on my laptop. He said that since its a TFT screen chances are on of the layers within the screen are messed up hence I see this black line. I decided Im going to look elsewhere and see if I can't find a solution here. If worse comes to worse, then I'll live with it till the Pro Book is out and get that with Apple care.

Thin green line at the bottom of my QT exports from FCP

Hello,
I have exported a series of QT vids from FCP. Each QT video file exhibits a thin (2 px)green line at the bottom of the player window. I can't seem to narrow down what is making this line appear. Can you please offer some suggestions? Remedies?
Thanks so much in advance.
Utilizing:
Quicktime Conversion
optimized for broadband Large
H.264 codec for HD footage
Custom 660x377 frame size (varied to see if that would fix the issue, did not)

So you only see it in QT Fullscreen mode?
The reason I'm pressing this is that I've seen green lines LIKE this with issues resulting from what seems like a very hot video card.
Usually they 1) aren't that crisp and 2) don't always show up each time you view it.
And this is AFTER compression, yes? For sure this isn't on the original material? Make sure you set your canvas in FCP to 100% size to see all of the lines.

What should your sequence settings be when editing with H264 in CC?

I keep getting a yellow bar when editing with H264 no matter what I make my settings as. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi jdib,
That's pretty normal for DSLR footage. Check out this article: http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html

Quicktime BUG Green line appears at bottom of movs on MAC not WINDOWS

HELP!
I've started to notice that a bright green line appears at the bottom of my movies. I import them into Macromedia Director and they still show, but after publising my projector for windows and viewing on a PC they disapear.
Problems mainly on MAC but not i've had reports of problems of the weird green line on another PC.
can anybody help?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Open the movie in QuickTime Player. Pull down the Window menu and select "Show Movie Info". What is listed in the "Format" field?
In that same window, is there a difference between "Normal Size" and "Current Size"? (You might also compare that size to the size shown on the Windows computer which does not display the green line.)
What is the extension on the filename (.mov, .avi, .mpg etc.) ?
Pull down the Window menu and select "Show Movie Properties" what tracks do you see listed?

When I watch Youtube Videos, it's like to half parts of the video and green lines at the bottom, cannot click on settings either, works fine with IE, problem with Flash? Tried to uninstall, still won't work

Help anyone?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Can't get sound to play back on Movie Maker when recording with internal webcam/microphone

I have a Windows 8, 64-bit Envy notebook. I tried using Google Hangouts but there wasn't any sound (the camera was fine).
Later, I decided to test the internal microphone myself by creating a Movie Maker file, and clicking on Webcam and making a recording. The camera worked but it played back in total silence.
I checked the settings for the microphone and the internal mic was properly set as the default. I turned up the volume to the maximum. Then I found directions for doing a sound check, and I was able to do the Sound Recording check and get audio when I played the file back.
But when I tried again to make a video, i got zero in the playback.
Any idea what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Pat

Landscape pages in Word revert to portrait in PDF when converted with Acrobat 9.

My work group is using the PDF-T-Maker plugin to convert Word docs to PDF through Acrobat 9 Pro Extended. Lately, all the landscape pages have reverted to portrait in the conversion, but only for me. Everyone else in my group is getting correct layout when they run the same process on the same docs. Today, I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat, then installed the updates (I'm on v. 9.3.1), but I've still got the same issue. I've checked the settings in Acrobat, Distiller, the PDF printer, and T-Maker, and I think they're correct. Shots of the Distiller and T-Maker settings are below. Any ideas about what's going on?

Looks like you have A4 pages. I would copy the PDF and then rotate the landscape pages (or portrait) individually (use the tools, not the view rotation) and then do the save to DOC or DOCX. That might do what you want. I would have expected it to notice the orientation, but I guess not. You did not mention the version of Acrobat. If you have not done the updates, you may want to do those first. Your issue may have been address with the updates.

Spool to PDF - Problems with downloading PDF file when converting with job

Hi all!
I've got a problem. I've got a program that writes a smartform into the spool. After that, I am using the function modules RSTS_GET_ATTRIBUTES and CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert it into PDF. I retrieve a internal table with the binary content for the PDF file. Now i can download the file to the desktop by using the method cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
But there is a problem: when the spool excesses 99 pages, the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF asks the user via popup if the PDF should be created in background. If the user commits, the internal tables that should contain the binary PDF data is emtpy. A background job writes the binary data into the spool. The user has got an empty file that will be generated by cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download.
So, is it possible to suppress the popup to create the PDF allways online? Or how can I write the PDF file if there will be create any spool id in background? You'll find my current code below.

Creating a PDF file with over 99 pages through SAP seems rather unreasonable to me. What are you printing - Encyclopedia Britannica? For cripes sake... Have you thought about creating more than one spool request or using something completely different? Why do you have to do this through spool? You can get Smartform output directly into PDF, there are a lot of example out there.
The only solution that comes to mind is rather brutal - create a copy of the function module and get rid of the popup. Although it just might time out after that...

Extraneous lines added to graphics when converting Word 2003 to Acrobat 7

When I choose to print my Word 2003 document that includes an embedded .tif graphic to "Adobe PDF" in my printer list it successfully creates the .PDF file, but the graphic will consistently have a thin vertical line along its right hand side.
I'm using an IBM PC (.5gb RAM) with Windows XP (SP2), Word 2003 and Adobe 7

I am using Acrobat 8 Professional. Please Help! I've spent a long time on this document and upon conversion, it is not working properly.

Disabling "move files when importing" with Adobe Premiere Elements

I want pictures/videos to stay in file location when importing them into Adobe Premiere Elements (I use Adobe organizer) as I also use the files in Adobe LIghtroom. The respective option cannot be disabled in the import dialogue.

idogu
Could you elaborate on what you are doing and the problems that you are running into?
What version of Premiere ELements and its Elements Organizer are you using and on what computer operating system is it running.
My problem in understanding your question involves the following thoughts.
When you import files into Premiere Elements or its Elements Organizer, the originals remain at the computer hard drive save location. The program has just thumbnails of the files, and those thumbnails need to trace back to the originals at the hard drive save location. Is the problem in a shortcoming of the Lightroom program?
We will be watching for clarification.
Thank you.
