HD (letterbox) will not appear on DVD when Quality is set to 16:9 or 4:3
Been around the block on this so far, not real solutions and it was suggested to post here.
The footage is all ingested as CineForm codec, exported out as separate songs to MPEG2, then built in Encore, buttons etc. Minimal tweaks.
MPEG2 because Dynamic Link craps out and chooses one camera over actual multicamera edits, drops titles, effects etc. depending on which song it wants to burp up on.
The DVD defaults are grayed out, and a tag on the bottom of the box indicates that the specs can be changed at any time using Projects settings, which gets the same grayed out choices as defaults, useless it would seem.
Switching to Quality setting, there are options for DVD including 4:3 or 16:9 and so far neither, and or none of the DVD Quality settings, custom or otherwise will allow the DVD to burn anything that has the "black" lines above and below with the letterbox look on the SD DVD when played in a standard machine.
On the computer, everything looks fine with WMP or VLC but take the DVD to an older Toshiba TV with a player built in and the safe areas from Premiere are all that appear.
Challenge is why, how can this be affected pre build and, should one simply ingest and edit with something other than HD 1080, so Encore doesn't step on the final image?
Too late, the product hits on Monday but round two is in January.
So far, one suggestion in this forum is to export the HD MPEGs to Nero etc. and burn in that software.
Is Encore shy of this concept, or is CS5.2 too old to negotiate the terrain, or is it pilot error?
All comments are appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob
Hi Stan and Ann,
Usually when something is amiss, in my case it's pilot error.
What Stan offered (which settings in AME?) looks to be the culprit.
I had a friend, a DP over before this project was exported and he said to transcode using MPEG2.
Another posted response via an Adobe thread or Creative Cow (not sure) also implied exporting as MPEG2 when I was getting poor results from Dynamic Link as explained above.
This morning as I checked the kind responses from you both, I opened Premiere, took the suspect file which fails in DL, opened export and checked the settings.
I was so rigid in following the advice as "MPEG2” that I never looked at the rest of the menu choices.
As follows when MPEG2 is hovered: "Recommended for High Quality HD playback locally on a computer for HDTV 24 1080p source file or sequence"
This explains why the concert plays fine in VLC etc.
When MPEG2-DVD is hovered: "High Quality Output with TV Standard, Frame Rate, Field Order, PAR set automatically based on source."
The timelines are all exported as MPEG2, not as MPEG2-DVD which may explain why the 16:9 image is truncated on a DVD player.
I will head to Frys and buy more DVDs for a test burn, but, this seems to be what may be the issue at this point.
In explaining perhaps I've confused you both but what happens when the MPG2 is played on a DVD machine, the image defaults to (generally) what are considered the safe areas grid in Premiere which I edit with turned on to be sure titles stayed in the DVD viewable area.
I think then perhaps the mystery is solved.
Two more questions then, if you feel inclined.
1) Since we are on the subject, the drop down menu offers several choices when using MPEG2-DVD: Match source attributes, in High, Draft and Highest quality, NTSC 23.97 Widescreen High Quality, NTSC Progressive High, NTSC Progressive High Widescreen and Progressive Widescreen High.
2) For a duplication house (as software authoring is not as good as hardware) what format is best for delivery to them with the choices being DVD drop down: Disk, Folder, Image, Master or DDP image?
Given my missteps so far, are there settings either of you suggest that work best here for the footage based upon your collective experience?
Many thanks to you both for helping me gnaw off my paw from the trap I stepped into.
I'll let the label know once I burn a new DVD.
Rob

I have an Iphone 4, I have music files that appear on my phone that I want to delete, when I link it to my computer the songs on the phone will not appear in Itunes so I can delete them, Is there any way to delete these song off the phone without going through Itunes?
Nope, it either needs to be plugged in or turned on with the power button.

"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS."
I am using Ind CC 2014 exporting a document to a reflowable epub. The document contains an .ai image. The image exports correctly in some parts of the.epub but not others, where it is distorted. There is a warning on export :"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS." Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!

When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try. I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?
Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing

Apple mirroring needs a protocol to message EXACTLY why, when mirroring will not appear on an iphone. It is sloppy architecture to simply have the mirroring / Apple TV buttons not shown when something is wrong - especially when both iphone and AppleTV are on same WiFi network with solid signal and no interference. Trying to figure out why (fickle) mirroring will not appear on the iphone should not be a guessing game, as the current architecture has it now. At least have a message protocol so the iphone can be told what is preventing mirroring so it can report to the iphone user.
I'm an applications developer and also run a part-time videography business. As such, I require more than 3.12GB of RAM. That is the physical limitation of a 32bit system. Pointless to stay on 32bit if you plan on having more than that much RAM.
I'm also not about to pay someone to fix my PC when I can do it myself. I was originally hoping for someone who had experienced the problem before to point me in the right direction so I didn't have to spend so much time trying to figure out what the issue was for myself.
Basically, in the end the problem was caused because right at the point in time when I chose to uninstall, and reinstall; Apple released a new version of iTunes. This version in turn had a requirement of iOS 4.2 to sync with the iPhone. This is a pretty embarrassing for Apple that they would release software reliant on other software before said software was released.
Had I realised I was downloading a newer version at the initial point of installation, this wouldn't have been an issue. I could've easily have rolled back iTunes to the previous version and gotten on with my life.
Another issue is that iTunes is not actually a 64 bit application. It masquerades as one to allow installation on the 64 bit platform. -
My contacts will not appear on my computer and when I go to the webpage for Icloud, it says there is an error and that I can't connect to the server. (which may have something to do with the facts that my contacts have disappeared.)

You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one. -
I have one photo caption which will not appear when I preview my photobook
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
I have just assembled a photobook with captions for most of the pictures. One of the captions will not appear when i preview the photobook although it does appear in the assembled book.Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

When typing into forms, such as filling out a contact sheet on a website, my first few letters will not appear when i start typing. For example, if I wanted to type "explanation", i might end up with "laxation". This happens in all browsers.
If i backspace everything and start typing again in the same area, it will work properly the second time.
I am using a ~7 month old macbook air with mavericks.
Any tips to get rid of this issue would be greatly appreciated.1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

DVD Drive will not recognize any movie DVD disk in the drive - thus will not play any dvd movies.
HP G71 449WV dvd drive will not recognize any dvd disc that has a movie on it. Will not play movies, keeps saying to insert disc when there is a disc in there. It will recognize a dvd data disc or a blank dvd, it just will not recognize any dvd movies. I've tried the microsoft fix it, downloaded new codecs, using different dvd playback software but none of that works since the drive will not recognize there is even a dvd movie in the drive. Computer is out of warranty.
Hello crollinsphoto1, welcome to the HP Forums.
It appears that you're not able to play movie DVD's in the DVD player in your notebook. I will try to assist you with this.
I'd recommend starting with this document:
Resolving DVD and Blu-ray Movie Problems (Windows 7).
Also, are these purchased DVD's or burnt DVD's?
Do the movies play in other sources? (DVD player, other PC)
Let me know how this goes.
Thanks.
I worked on behalf of HP. -
App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help -
I live in the UK but visit the US regularly. I plan to buy a MacBookPro in the US but have read that it will not play UK DVD's. Is this so? If so, is it possible to change the codes?
All modern & new Macs can play both PAL and NTSC DVDs. I do it all the time and it works perfectly.
The DVD drive is set to its first region code when you first play a DVD in it. So when you buy a Mac, whatever type of DVD you play first will determine the initial region code that is set. If it's a PAL/Region 2 DVD it will set the DVD drive to region 2.
The only thing you have to watch out for is if you have a collection of DVDs that have different region codes. In those cases you may be faced with changing the region code in the DVD drive in order to play one or more of the DVDs; and as others have noted there is a limit to the number of times you can change the region code (most modern DVD drives allow up to 5 changes; the 5th change becomes the permanent change). This is due to industry licensing practices.
If you have DVDs that are Region 0 or All Regions you don't have to worry about region codes. -
DVD-R discs will not play on DVD Player
The DVD-R discs I made will not play on DVD Player Version 4.0.
I transferred VHS to DVD-R using an RCA VHS/DVD Recorder. The discs played well in 3 different DVD players but will not play on my i-book.
Please help?
New At This
i-book G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)In a nutshell the problem is the fact that the Software used by the RCA recorder is for PC.
When recording DVD's the software that is available varys greatly.
Some of the top of the line software gives options to burn PC only, MAC only, and PC or MAC combined.
It was also brought to your attention to use VLC Player on your Mac the firmware that is used with this player will sometimes allow for playing DVD's that were burned on these VHS to DVD Burners.
Here are a few tips that affect reading and writing DVD. This link is only a small amount of what can and does affect, I suggest you do a Google search to learn all you can.
