HD TV show (Monk) doesn't look very HD on the AppleTV

Is it playing the SD or HD? It sure doesn't look good.
Also, you can only buy the SD from the AppleTV menus.

Hey, Kenuck, do you know when HD TV shows are coming to Canada?
The link you gave to the Apple Canada website does say that we can watch HD TV shows, as you quoted, and that we can buy Grey's Anatomy. Both of these things are unavailable at the iTunes Canada store and I can't find a date for when/if they are coming to the Canada store.
Anybody know when/if HD shows are coming to Canada?

Can i use my blackberry torch charger to charge my iPod4s? The charger looks very similar to the 5W USB power adaptor that Apple sells to charge the iPod?

can i use my blackberry torch charger to charge my iPod4s? The charger looks very similar to the 5W USB power adaptor that Apple sells to charge the iPod?

Actually, the bb charger is a 5V, 750 mA charger (which would make it a 3.75W charger vs the 5W that Apple sells for the iPod). Therefore, I would think that my bb charger should work for both bb and iPod, but would charge the iPod at a slower rate, with little harm done to the gadget, but I defer to any opinion that would suggest otherwise?

My start page looks VERY different to the one you show !!!! use windows vista

my start page does not show the icons you display in your ' getting started. I use windows vista. firefox runs no problem -BUT -
i have to repeat most task when the computer restarts & icons you display are NOT shown ????

I just thought I'd tie this all together by saying I have completely resolved this now. I have now got the Spyder3 which I use with Integrated Color's ColorEyes Display Pro and I no longer have the problems I was experiencing before. For the first time I actually feel confident that my monitor is displaying correctly. Thank you to everyone who helped in this discussion - I highly recommend both ColorEyes (the support is fantastic too) and the Spyder3. Don't be put off by any previous bad experiences with the Spyder2 - the 3 really is a great device.
Many thanks,

Why my dynamic text doesn't look as good as the static one in the same movie?

I have movie clip with dynamic text and static text. I am
using same font, size and color. The static texts looks great but
the dynamic one is not. How can I get smoot fonts within dynamic
text???
Thanx....

Advanced anti-aliasing can be applied only if you use
embedded fonts and a
TextFormat class. In your library, select New Font from the
Options menu.
Choose a font from the dropdown list and give it any name you
want. Ok. Then
right click that font in the library and choose Linkage to
set it up for
Actionscript, and in the first frame.
Add the following actionscript to the first frame of your
movie to set up
the font in the movie:
var text_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
text_fmt.font = "trebuchet-15";
text_fmt.size = 15;
myText.embedFonts = true;
myText.setNewTextFormat(text_fmt);
myText.antiAliasType = "advanced";
text_fmt is the name of the TextFormat class. You can name
this anything you
want.
trebuchet-15 happens to be what I named my new font item in
the library
myText is the name of the dynamic text box that I am going to
be using this
font in.
One more thing. When you set up your dynamic text box ... if
you're using
HTML text, don't override this with a <font> tag that
declares the font face
or size.
Hope this helps. This should make the text in your dynamic
text boxes just
as smooth as the static text.

TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

Burned moive doesn't look clean, How should I set my Encoding preferences?

we shot a movie with hvx200. From fcp we put it into dvdsp and made an SD dvd.
But the quality doesn't look as good.
The Encoding preference MPEG-2 SD tab were set as follows:
Aspect Ratio: 16:9
Drop Frame: unchecked
Field Order: Auto
Mode: Two Pass VBR
Bit Rate: 5.5 mbps
Max Bit Rate: 7.0 Mbps
Motion Estimation: Best
Method: Background encoding
How can I encode it and make a crisp clean copy like I see in FCP?
anyone please,
Thanks

Zia:
You didn't post what format did you shoot your movie with the HVX200.
You can find a good resources place for HVX200 users here:

Hope that helps !

If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer. Do this to Reset your shuffle

Start up computer. Run iTunes. Connect shuffle.
If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

I need a calendar for my iPhone 4s which shows 'every 4th Saturday'or 'every 2nd Tuesday' which unlike the Android caledar, the Apple one doesn't have. I've looked at others on the App Store, none of which appear to have this particular ability. Any ideas

You can do this in iCloud calendars, actually. You just can't do it directly on the device. But, if you go to icloud.com & edit the calendar event, you can select "Custom" from the dropdown for Repeat & it will let you put in "every 4 wks on saturday" or even "every 28 days." But, again, you'd have to be using iCloud & you can only do this on the website.

IPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted

I have a new 19'' widescreen TFT monitor on my mini mac and now my iPhoto 6.0 slide shows looks very distorted.
This widescreen TFT have a 16:9 aspect ratio (1440x900 pixel).
I found no setting in iPhoto for the screen with an 16:9 aspect ratio. There are only format settings for 16:10, iDVD or act monitor. But no one works fine!
Is there any possibility that I can show my "slide shows" in the correct format? (Also with black bars)
Can anyone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

I am experiencing a very similar problem. Michael, have you solved your issue yet?
With my setup (PowerMac Dual G4 533 MHz with an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics card, and Gateway FPD2185W monitor, native display resolution 1680 x 1050), iPhoto slideshows show pictures off center (taking up the right 2/3 of the display and leaving the left blank). The entire picture is also not visible. I'm sure it is switching resolutions when doing the slideshow since when I stop the show, some of my apps are in different positions on the display. I have tried switching stuff in the preferences, as well as trashing my old iPhoto prefs file. Nothing worked.
Thanks in advance for any insights!

IPad shows a red iTunes icon with picture of lightning connection on start up. Doesn't look authentic. Could it be a virus?

i Started my iPad this afternoon and it shows a red iTunes icon in the centre of the screen with a picture of a lightning connection below it. It doesn't look authentic. I don't want to plug it into my Mac unless I know it's safe. Any suggestions?

Something like my screenshot ? If so you're in Recovery mode and need to restore from your iTunes or iCloud backup.

KDE fonts under Gnome doesn't look good

Ok, most people complains about GTK fonts under KDE. I have the inverse problem, my kde apps doesn't look good into gnome.
If I run kde, the fonts are displayed properly with small size, but if I run gnome and the run a kde app, the fonts are very big.
When i run a gtk app under kde, the fonts are showed properly but it doesn't use my gnome theme.
Anyone have a solution on making kde apps looking good under gnome?

Even though it's the inverse problem, it's likely still the same solution. Gnome has a Gconf setting for DPI. Otherwise you change it as an option to X. Where you do so depends on how you start up X though (startx, xdm, kdm, gdm, etc). I'll post back once I'm in Gnome and tell you where you can change the DPI.

Should be straight alpha, but it doesn't look like it

I'm using Keylight on some footage in AE CS4, and then bringing it into PPro CS3 for the rest of the editing process. In AE, one of my roses (a light one chosen to accentuate what is going on) looks like this:
I have "Unpremultiply" checked in Keylight, and here are my Output Module Settings for the render:
As far as I can tell, I should be doing everything right to end up with footage with straight alpha, but in PPro, I get the famous "premultiplied-alpha halo" anyway! At first, the halo was only appearing a second or two after I would click in a new spot on the timeline - that really got my attention that it was something other than just bad keying on my part. I actually tried to catch a screen capture during that moment before the halo would appear (to show the before-and-after), but by the time I decided to try that, Murphy's law had kicked in - now there is no delay and it looks like this all the time:
I have several roses that I have processed in the same manner, and they all have the halo, but it's of course not as obvious if the rose itself and/or the background footage is darker.
I'm pretty new to keying and alpha, but I thought I had done my homework, so to speak. What other settings should I check?

Thanks for the suggestion - it basically worked. PPro CS3 doesn't appear to have an effect called "Alpha Key", so I used "Track Matte Key", specifying the track where I put the alpha clip and selecting Luma Key for the setting (setting it to Alpha Key didn't do anything, and it was clear that the "alpha" AVI was not an alpha channel per se, but just a regular video clip with a B&W representation of the transparency). I also don't see any effect called "Minimax". Anyway, I followed your suggestion as best I could with the tools I have - you must be using a newer version of PPro. I can indeed see about a pixel or so that would be better if it was more transparent - I suspect your Minimax suggestion would have taken care of that. But this is definitely usable.
Key point for those reading this later: You have to choose "Straight" for the Color setting when you render by this method, even though you get some strong warnings that dissauded me the first time I tried it (I thought they were saying I had to include an alpha channel in the stream, not the method I was about to use).
One more question: When rendering the separate alpha clip (essentially just a grayscale video of the transparency) to be used as the luma matte for the Track Matte Key, does it matter whether the Color setting is Straight or Premultiplied? I can't imagine that it would matter for that clip, but if there is a subtle difference, let me know.
I have no idea why I can't get it to work with an embedded alpha channel, though - surely hundreds or thousands of people use these two programs to handle RGB+Alpha video files. For this time, I'll re-render my roses (twice for each rose to get the two streams - this will give my CPU a workout!) and use this workaround, but if someone has any insight about the more direct method, please enlighten us all.

Settings for a 1280 x 720 video (720p) that doesn't look like garbage?

I've been toying around for a while, but I can't seem to find a decent method to render my 1280x720 video that doesn't look like crap.
I've switched between several video types (mainly avi and mov), but I can't find a suitable method.
I am a total noob to this stuff and though I'd prefer to use a .mov or .avi file (since any PC can pretty much play them), I need some good setting to output a quality video.
All of this stuff about bitrate/pixel type/etc, I just have no idea what I'm doing.
I appreciate any advice.

See: FAQ:What export settings should I use?
You will also find links to many free tutorials in the PremiereProPedia that will quickly show you how things are done in Premiere Pro.

'Pantone Black' (color bridge uncoated / plus series) doesn't 'look on screen' as black at all.

I'm working in Adobe Illustrator CC on a mac.
'Pantone Black' (color bridge uncouted / plus series) doesn't 'look on screen' as black at all. A '100%K' black (cmyk) look perfectly black. The Pantone solid black appears nothing like a 'black' at all on screen. Is there a setting that makes the colors 'look' more like the end result?
Also is there a reason, a lot of the colors in the 'Color Bridge Uncoated - Plus Series' doesn't come up in the Adobe Illustrator 'Color Bridge Uncoated' pallette?
Can anybody help me out?

What does the Pantone Black Uncoated Plus Series look like? I mean, on your screen? Is it brownish? Not sure why Pantone Bridge does not show in Illustrator Bridge. The entire color communications system(s) seemed to be a bit messed up. There seems to be a drift on screen when looking at Pantone anything these days.
