HELP!!! DVD Info please

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me out. I film in 16:9 widescreen on a Canon XL2 and edit in FCE. I don't have any real problems with this side of things, it's the dvd side where I am struggling, I am only using idvd 5 & 6 at the moment. The problem is that when I burn a disc it plays fine on a dvd player hooked up to a widescreen tv, but the same disc will not play correctly on any mac i've tried it on, everything is horizontally squashed (tall and skinny, is great if you've got a weight problem)! I want to be able to produce a dvd that will play as a commercial dvd does, (correct on tv and widescreen on computer).
Is this something that can be sorted?
Do I need Dvd Studio Pro?
Is this something that can be sorted in Quicktime pro?
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phew! I needed that.

Hello,
I did a project a few years ago for a client. I had to edit a feature for a project. Most of the video 99% was shot in 4:3 but the other 1% was shot in 16:9. What I had to do to make it work was to use one of the wide screen Mattes that made it work and it came out fine. Reason I had to use the Matte was becaue the 16:9 the peoples face looked very compressed. I believe if you use the Widescreen Matte filter on your project it most likely will work for you on both widescreen and 4:3 telvisions.
Hope this Helps. Good Luck on your project!!

    but my screen wont tun on.
    I NEED HELP.

    I don't beleive this is a known problem and you should probably bring your phone to a local Genius Bar (make an appointment here) as this is likely a hardware issue (a problem with your phone realizing that you removed it from your ear).
    If you're willing to tinker with it a bit, you can determine if this is a software issue by backing up your iPhone (separately ensure your photos, videos and music is backed up) and then "Restore" your phone. If the restoration solves the problem, you're dealing with a software issue. If the problem still exists, you're almost definitely dealing with a hardware issue.

  • I have a video in .avi format, what format do I need to convert to, to play on my DVD recorder, please can anyone help?

    I have a video in .avi format, but what format do I need to convert to, to play on my DVD recorder, please can anyone help?

    tylerfrombalantine's post had zero grammar in it, so it's not clear what he's saying. I bought a DVD recorder and the instruction manual lists all the disc formats it can play. Check your DVD recorder manual to see what works with it, then burn a DVD that matches. It should be fine to burn just a standard DVD, since of course any DVD player can play that.
    Depending on the program you use, you may not have to convert anything manually. The program might convert your current video format to DVD on fly as it burns the disc.

  • My iPhone4s turned itself off and will not turn back on unless it is charge data all times. I need help and answers please.

    My iPhone4s turned itself off and will not turn back on unless it is charged at all times. I need help and answers please.

    And we would need more info. "will not turn back on unless it is charged at all times." is pretty obvious: the phone will obviously not turn on unless it is charged.
    Describe your problem clearly.

    This is a copy of ONEof the keys  in the registry I changed  as told by Apple support today. I also have changed others as instructed by GEAR  software support to manually delete GEAR drivers (that I had installed but couldn't delete some of the others  they mentioned from Windows system 32. Then some bright spark at work told me I need the Gear drivers so  I downloaded the software and installed again.
    Sorry, just this minute went to insert image  and it is giving me a message saying this sort of content  is not allowed?.
    The most recent key I altered is in: HKey _local _machine. System\class - 4D36E965-E325-11CEBFC1-08002BE10318. Upper Filter data: Upper filter NTIDrvr  SiRem GEARAspiWDN.
    The GEARsoftware info about manually deleting  GEAR drive is from:

  • Help!? please please please. I really need help!

    Okay i but a gift card onto my Itunes account and now its empty but i dont know how to take it off. Ive tried going into the payment info but the (none) buttone isnt there. Help!?  please please please help me. It wont let me do anything like updat apps or even download anything. Even if its free!

    i noticed this behaviour once or twice...
    in my case, it was that the Artists' names were related to single tracks. or single albums...
    for example, i had only 1 album for an artist in question, so instead of getting the expected "album list" from a click on the artist, i got the listing of songs on the single album i had loaded for them.
    check your tags for the artists in question... a lot of downloaded MP3s, etc, are rather "dirty" . you may find spaces after the name. Multiple listings for the artist where case (upper/lower) are incosistant... for example... if you have tracks taged with artist "Twisted sister" AND others with "Twisted Sister" you may very well have this issue.
    one tool to use when trying to see if this is the case is to use the BROWSE function in itunes. Click that then scroll thru the list of artists in the center column. See if you have some duplicates in there.

  • Help with message please:  Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line

    I would really appreciate some help with my search & results page that is now throwing up the following error:
    Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line (the line number refers to the following code:
    mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3);
    mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4);
    I am new to php and am setting up a dynamic site in Dreamweaver (thanks to the Missing Manual – very helpful). I apologise in advanced for my lengthy description of the problem (perhaps get yourself a drink before continuing!)
    I have a Search page with 4 list menus where the user can select an option from ANY or ALL of the menus, if a menu is not selected the value posted to the results page will be 'zzz'.
    On the results page I have 4 recordsets, all getting the correct results, only one recordset is required to run depending on how many of the menus from the search page have been selected and a test is run before executing the sql using a SWITCH statement checking how many of the menus had passed the 'zzz' values from the Search page if you see what I mean. The results page  has Repeating Regions, Recordset Paging and Display Record Count. The exact result that I require are generated by this method.
    THE PROBLEM, when a user makes a selection the first page of 10 results is fine, but the error message above is shown at the bottom of the page, AND when the user clicks NEXT to go to the next page of results THERE ARE NO RESULTS.
    This is exactly what happens depending on how many menus selected and which recordset is used:
    4 menus selected from Search: runs RSsearchforsale, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct results found. NEXT page is empty of results and still shows the correct display record count as if it should be displaying the records, also has the same 3 error messages.
    3 menus selected from Search:  runs RsSearchForSale2, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct number of results. NEXT page shows results from the  DEFAULT setting of the recordset and the Display record count reflects this new set of results. Also still shows the 3 mysql_free_results for RsSearchForSale2, 3 and 4.
    2 menus selected from Search: runs   RsSearchForSale3, results correct but 2 error messages on 1st page relating to  mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale) & mysql_free_result (RsSearchForSale4). The display record count is correct. NEXT page does exactly the same as described in above 3 menus selected.
    1 menu selected from search: runs RsSearchForSale4, results correct but 1 error meaasge on 1st page, mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale). Display record count is correct and again when NEXT page is selected does as described in above where 2 or 3 menus selected.
    If you have gotten this far without falling asleep then thank you and well done! I have pasted my code below and I know its a lot to ask but please please can you give me an idea as to where or why I have gone wrong. I felt I was so close at perfecting this search and have been working on it for weeks now. I feel sure the problem is because I have 4 recordsets on the page but I could find no other way to get the exact results I wanted from the menus.
    Looking forward to any help.

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your reply and patience, we are getting closer in spite of me!
    Of course i needed to change the name of the recordset, i did that the first time i did it (when i got the error), the when i re did it i forgot, in my defense i was also trying to get a full understanding of the code using the W3Schools php reference and writing by the side of the code on a piece of paper what it meant in English.
    Anyway after re doing the code correctly it still displayed all the records of my database but i realised that was because i was POSTING from the search form and when i changed it to the GET method I now get results when all 4  list menus are selected from and the paging works. After reading about the POST / GET method i chose the POST option, is the GET method a better option in my circumstance?
    On my site now if the user selects from 1,2 or 3 of the menus rather than selecting the relevant records it displays the NO RESULT page, I would like my users to be able to select from all of the menus or ANY combination of the menus and find exact results for their search, for example if they only select a location and a price i want it display all records that match that location and price with any number of bedrooms and any Type of property: Perhaps this is due to how my list menus are set up, for each menu the first Item label is Location (or Beds or Type or Price) and the value i have left blank which i believe means that it will use the item label as the value, the second Item label for all menus is Any and again the value has been left blank. All other item labels have values relevant to database records.  
    I do look forward to your reply and cannot thank you enough for following this through with me, please continue to bare with me just a little more,
    best regards
    Tessimon

    You're not adding the WHERE clause to the SQL query. My example code uses $query_search. You need to change that variable to match the name of your recordset, i.e. $query_RSsearchforsale.
    Moreover, the WHERE clause needs to go before ORDER BY.
    $query_RSsearchforsale = "SELECT trueprice,`desc`, `propid`, `bathrooms`, `location`, `type`, `price`, `beds`, `photo1`, locationtable.loc, typetable.style, bedtable.`number` FROM detailstable JOIN locationtable ON detailstable.location=locationtable.locid JOIN typetable ON detailstable.type=typetable.typeid JOIN pricetable ON detailstable.price=pricetable.priceid JOIN bedtable ON detailstable.beds=bedtable.bedid ";
    // Set a flag to indicate whether the query has a WHERE clause
    $where = false;
    // Loop through the associatiave array of expected search values
    foreach ($expected as $var => $type) {
      if (isset($_GET[$var])) {
        $value = trim(urldecode($_GET[$var]));
        if (!empty($value)) {
          // Check if the value begins with > or <
          // If so, use it as the operator, and extract the value
          if ($value[0] == '>' || $value[0] == '<') {
            $operator = $value[0];
            $value = ltrim(substr($value, 1));
          } elseif (strtolower($type) != 'like') {
            $operator = '=';
          // Check if the WHERE clause has been added yet
          if ($where) {
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' AND ';
          } else {
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' WHERE ';
            $where = true;
          // Build the SQL query using the right operator and data type
          $type = strtolower($type);
          switch($type) {
            case 'like':
              $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` LIKE " . GetSQLValueString('%' .
    $value . '%', "text");
              break;
            case 'int':
            case 'double':
            case 'date':
              $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` $operator " .
    GetSQLValueString($value, "$type");
              break;
            default:
            $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` = " . GetSQLValueString($value,
    "$type");
    $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' ORDER BY detailstable.trueprice ASC';

    Please help me! My MacBook was stolen along with an external hard drive that had all my photos of my children on them. I hadn't backed to iCloud or backed anywhere else. I am distraught. No find my mac either...help...please... Some programmes are still running like drop of and Skype... Is it all over?!?

    Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
    In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?
