Gstreamer playback appears to "squish" videos vertically

When using both totem and miro (both using gstreamer) the video has black vertical bars and the image appears squished and not fullscreen.
It has been this way for quite a while but all the videos play fine in mplayer and vlc.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm using the latest gstreamer plugins from the extra repos.

Mmm, not that I can tell.
However, I did find a somewhat hacky fix.
In gstreamer-properties set the plugin to custom and then the Pipeline to: "identity ! xvimagesink pixel-aspect-ratio=1/1"
Works like a charm and all my videos play in the proper aspect ratio. So, more or less solved I guess.
Edit: Erm, heh. Can anyone tell me how to put the solved tag on the thread?

Why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ?

why when I want to take photo , the camera will appear such pink colour vertical line and become black and the video just can record 1 min only ? why ? is that any problem ?

are you using the iOS camera? if you do, visit your apple store for further help, sounds like a hardware problem.
or:
hold home and lock button pressed until your iphone restarts.
if that didn't help, visit your apple store.
if you are not using the iOS camera, delete that app.

Tons of problems while exporting - small video, squished video, flashing titles? AHHH!

Hi everyone. I'm running into some serious frustration trying to export a video with the intention of either putting it on YouTube or Vimeo. I have tried so many different compression and format settings, only to run into different problems with each combination I use. Sometimes I'll get horizontally squished video (this happens any time I try to export in 16:9 widescreen), other times I'll get titles that flash super quickly (this happens when I try to export as a QuickTime file), sometimes I'll get proportional video that ends up being small.
Basically, I'm working with Adobe Premiere Pro - yes, the original. I haven't been able to afford the upgrade, unfortunately. That said, I'm working in a 48 kHz widescreen mode. In my closest attempt, the clips in the video that were not altered by either effects or titles are totally the way that I want them to appear (in the video I have linked, the clips of the two guys starting at 0:24 is what I want). In addition however, all of the clips that do have either titles or effects on them are shrunk - you'll see it. What's the deal!? How can I just export this damn video so that the entire thing looks the way that those full-screen clips do?
Here's the video of my closest attempt so far:

Not sure where the other post is, but for tips with Tiltes, this ARTICLE offers some good ones.
Good luck,

I rented a movie and it appears in the video app, but it did not fully download. It does not appear in downloads how do I repair the file?

Did you download it using iTunes for Windows, or did you download it directly to an iOS device?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Playback appears different in IE and Firefox, WHY?

Hi,
I have been working on a web site that I have just recently
tested and noticed a wierd error:
The playback appears fine in IE however in Firefox the
scripted animated elements do ot apper correctly.
Please visit the site in IE and Firefox:
http://www.attila.reinhardt.com/clients/mfcardamone/home.htm
Then click on Herbarium Specimens and select any of the
pictures. When the large image loads I have created a script that
adds up the width of the image and the position of the image and
also adds 15 pixels to it in order to position the text description
fields accordingly.
Viewing it in IE 6 works while in Firefox 2 it does not
display the positioning correctly. Also in Firefox the included
Fuse scripts does not work whil in IE they display fine.
I have attched the code for your review:

Crazy, right after reading your post I check my current
project online using FireFox and IE 6 and noticed they are
inconsistent. I am also loading an external image into Flash and
with FireFox it seems that it doesn’t recognize the image
instantly however with IE it does (hence with your issue it
doesn’t know the width of the image). Comparing your code
with mine, we are both using an onEnterFrame event handler and Fuse
script. So those would be the culprits. I think you are using an
older version of Fuse then I (I am using the latest version). With
your code, you can use the MovieClipLoader class to retrieve the
bytes loaded for the loading image instead of onEnterFrame. That
might solve your issue. If I find out a solution I will post back
here.
But this is not uncommon, finding one browser acting
different then the other, I have witnessed it several times.

Thumbnail images will not appear for downloaded videos!

Until about a month and a half ago, whenever I downloaded a video to my computer, a thumbnail image always appeared on the video menu. But now, all that appears is the logo for the media player I have installed.
From the web pages I have read, it seems that the installation of the one of the recent versions of Adobe Flash Player has caused this problem, but I don't know this for sure.
I have tried to uninstall and then reinstall both AFP and the media player several times already, but the problem still exists.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? All answers appreciated. Thank you.

You *might* want to try one of the solutions listed here:

I'd recommend googling a bit for "enable flv thumbnail windows explorer" to see what you can find.

Why in the layer options does not appear to me "video layers" why? help

I need to encourage and not because my computer does not appear to me and others computers that has the same photoshop cc if that option appears. It would be helpful to know what thanks

99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

Getting videos to appear in the Video Centre. What...

I've put a video on my phone in My Videos, then My Videos/Downloads and it's not appearing in the Video Centre. I can open it from the File Manager fine. What directory does the Video Centre look in for files? I mainly ask because in the past when a video's in the Video Centre, the handset seems to grab licences automatically (it's an iPlayer file) but from the File Manager it does not do so.
Thanks in advance, I'm sure I'm being dense.

I should add, it was copied in mass storage mode. Maybe I used MTP before.

Videos do not appear on IN Videos list

I have purchased several videos from the iTunes music store. NONE of the appear in my iTunes "video" list.
They appear in my purchased list. They appear in my library. I can watch the videos without problem. I am warned about adding videos to music playlists.
I cannot drag videos to the video list. Purchased videos do not appear in my video list.
I have created a standard playlist and moved all of my videos there.
Has anyone else seen this?

Do the amounts appear on report CJID? I believe the WBS will not appear on the Settled values report, because it's already shown on the error list and the settlement on the WBS is not complete yet. What is the error on the WBS anyway?
Best Regards,

Why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?

Hi Guys:
     I just bought an apple tv. I am able to use the mirroring function with no problem, and I can see the apple tv in the "Airplay" menu.
     But When i play a video in safari(mirroring turned off), I can not see my apple TV in the "AirPlay" menu.
      So my question is : why doesn't apple tv appear when playing video in safari?
Does the same thing happen to you guys??
btw, I just dont want to mirroring when play a video in safari, that's why i'm asking this question
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!

Experiencing the same issue. Everything used to just work. I'm up to date on *everything* and it's all apple devices (airport extreme, appletv, 2 macbook pro lion, iphone4s, ipad).
My gut says it's the AppleTV since it happens from both laptops that have itunes.
Let me know if you find a fix.

Why does border appear around embedded video?

Hello,
I have an embedded YouTube video in a page on my site. It was working fine for a while but I've just discovered that there is now a black edge showing on the left, right and bottom of the video? I created a white round cornered frame within Premier so that it's part of the video. I did this as the pgae it's embedded in is white so that when it plays back it appears seamless and with curved edges to match it's container. This worked fine for a week or so but now it has these black edges? Can anybody tell me why? You can see for yourself at www.glovesanddoves.com. Go to the fighters page and you'll see the video at the bottom. The video's width is a multiple of 16 and the ratio is 16:9 at 384px X 216px. The containg Divs are also set to these measurements.
I've attached a screenshot below:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jack

It only seems to be affecting the page when viewed in Safari although it was working fine for over a week before today?

My pics and videos do not appear in the video browser?

my pics and videos do not appear in the video browser? How do I get it back. I may have denied IMovie access to my pics and videos when opening the app for the first time.

I have the same issue (iPad 3, iOS 6). I have tried to:
-erase all projects on the iMovie
-reset the iPad
-uninstall iMovie and reinstall it
None of these three things worked and I am at lost in terms of what else can be done.
All that happens when I start a new project is that under "videos" there is a big black box (empty videos). Same thing for pictures. When I press the camera button to insert a video from the camera, this works no problem. However, I used to be able to insert videos/pictures from my Camera Roll.

IMovie photos fail to appear in the video?

Why do some photos turn to black when inserted into the project? They fail to appear in the video. Instead, the ones before them replay.

I should add, it was copied in mass storage mode. Maybe I used MTP before.

I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

My iMac os 10.7.4 Lion purchased 2/12 has jerky videos. I've tried watching you tube and other videos with Safari and Google Chrome and sometimes they don;t jerk but most of the time the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. Help

my iMac os lion 10.7.4 has jerky videos. I've tried YouTube videos with Safari and Google Chrome and the spinning globe appears and the video stops for a few seconds. I can't watch the white house weeklky address because it stops and starts every few seconds. The software is up to date. Just bought this thing in February 2012. Can anyone help me?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply to new machines w/o AppleCare.
