How to adjust wide screen format?

I just installed AppleTv connected to my A/V amp. the monitor out is to a projector and then a 110" screen. video from AppleTV are the correct width, but not the correct height. the vids don't fill the screen vertically. I see this happen with letter box DVD's, but the LB projection is not as large vertically as the appletv projection. "Full Screen" DVD's fill the screen propely in my system. how do I get the apptetv vids to fill the screen? to the best of my knowledge, I have not downloaded "widescreen" videos. lastly, this is not a zoom issue on the projector. thanks for the help

the appletv outputs the video content in the correct aspect ratio.
not all widescreen content is the same ratio, so some will have black bars top and bottom.
the appletv will simply output it "as is". it is your display device that would need to be able to stretch it to fit the screen (distorting the video in the process).

How do I set the pages to appear in the "wide screen" format, as they do when I use Explorer?

My home page - Yahoo.com - as well as all other pages, appear in a "wide screen" format when I use Internet Explorer 8. How can I change the settings in Firefox so that my pages look the same way, rather than the "narrow screen" appearance?

How to send wide-screen slideshow to iDVD?

Hi there,
is there a way to create a wide-screen slideshow in iPhoto and send it unaltered to iDVD? Whatever I try, it stubbornly wants to reformat the slideshow with a 4/3 aspect ratio.
Any hints would be very much appreciated, and yes, I do have Photo2Movie, but I'm interested whether it's possible from iPhoto
Cheers Martin

Martin:
How are you creating the slideshow in iPhoto? Did you crop the photos to the 16:9 ratio before creating the slideshow? That's what I did and then did the Share to iDVD. I made sure I had a widescreen theme and that iDVD was set to widescreen under the Project menu.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

MacBook Pro I need to know how to adjust the screen?

Can someone please help me in figuring out how to get my screen back to normal size. I don't know what I did to get it like this. It does not cover the entire screen. The only way I can get it some bigger is to move it to the upper far left corner and then drag it down to right. My icons are still on the bottom of my screen and the menu bar is still showing on top. This is when I use Safari. I can get a full screen using google but I have to click the arrows in enlarge it each time I long on. It has not alway been this way. I did something to change it and cannot figure out what I did or how to get it corrected. PLEASE HELP!

Can wide screen format be retained on iPhone?

I am wanting to use Keynote on my iPhone to display on a large monitor using AirPlay. The process actually works ok except for one glitch: when the keynote program is loaded on the iPhone, it changes the format of the slides "to fit the display." The discription of the issues message is not accurate, as it transforms it to fit a VGA screen, which is not applicable to the iPhone nor the TV display. Is there any way to retain the 720 display format using the iPhone?

Probably. You can find a 3rd party repair center, or call Apple.
I believe that Apple will simply replace it for $199 in the U.S.

Wide screen format on regular TV

Hi,
My current video was shot 16:9, and after editing in FCP I made a DVD for the client. The DVD looks great on a computer, but client reported that on a regular TV the sides were cut off. This is my first foray into widescreen editing. Please advise. Do I need to make two version of the video for the DVD?
thanks,
Eve

Hello Eve,
if you create your DVD in iDVD the disc will be set to "auto pan/scan & letterbox" meaning it will depend on the setting of the DVD player how the video is displayed.
In order to get it "right", you basically have 2 options:
• make the DVD in iDVD, then correct the settings with myDVDedit (http://www.mydvdedit.com/)
• create the DVD with DVDSP setting it to "auto letterbox"
... or you can tell the client to change his settings on the set-top player
On the other hand, you say that the sides of the video appear to be "cut off". How much is missing? Some is normal due to a phenomenon known as overscan. Does your client see black bars at all?
hope this helps

How to adjust brightness in windows vista?

I can't figure out how to adjust the screen brightness. On the mac osx install disc 1 which supposedly has all the drivers, it did not hve the mac keyboard driver or the nvidia graphics card driver either. I found latter on the internet without much hassle, but I can't find a keyboard driver anywhere, so I'm stuck with this full brightness screen that really burns my eyes out, as well as draining a lot battery power when unplugged from the mains.

If you are also an administrator on your account click the drop down box on the recovery menu where it says 'administrator' and see if your account is listed. If it's the only account listed have you tried entering no password?
If that fails then google for 'hirens boot cd' which has a reset tool for Vista on the CD.

Poor Quality in Wide-Screen When Exporting HD to Quicktime

Hello all...
I'm working on a fairly large project in iMovie HD with wide-screen footage from my Sony HDR-HC3 and have hit a wall.
I can't seem to get a good result when I export clips into Quicktime in a wide-screen format. They are a bit choppy & you can see bits of some horizontal lines. The same video exported in full-screen VGA looks great. Any tips...? I basically just want to make good quality QT movies watchable on my computer that maintain the original aspect ratio (and LOOK like they do in iMovie!)
The entire project is around 100GB and I currently have almost 40GB of free space. Any help appreciated!

What do you need to end up with? Just a file to play back or burn to a DVD or make a web stream or?

Wide screen help?! im stuck

Hi,
Can anyone offer some advice? I have been working on my
animation project in flash to the ratio of 550px over 400px and
have only just realized it has to be wide screen format of 1024 px
over 768 px and now i don't know what to do? will i have to start
all over again and stretch out every key? I have tried to see what
it looks like with one key and it looks stretched and wrong?! what
is the purpose of using wide screen and do you think it would be
better if i just kept it at 550px over 400px? its for a university
presentation.
Thankyou for your time,
Lauren

I dunno, seems like you should be able to scale up the SWF to
about 190% and that would be very close to filling the screen. Use
the Publish settings to set the scale size, scale both aspects
identically to retain your proportions.

How to adjust Horizontal/Vertical display of Touch Smart screen

Hi Group,
I recently purchased the IQ505 and have fallen in love with it. However, (a small thing) the monitor displays my PowerPoint slides slightly "taller" than they should be (stretched vertically) . Most monitors I have used in the past have, either a physical adjust, or a software adjust. I can't find either on this one. Sure hope it can be adjusted. Thanks.

How to adjust background format for photos from my albums iOs7

With previous IOs version , when using photos from my albums to make background image , format would have fit itself . But with iOs7 , it stays at the photo's original format and doesn't adjust to screen size .

To answer the question in the subject line :
You don't.
Do not think iWeb. Do not think MobileMe. Do not think domainname. It confuses the brain.
Simply put the desired slideshow folder from the examples on the server.
The result is this :
http://web.me.com/wyodor/Standard/
Open the index.html file in a HTML editor of your choice and remove the code with text you do not want displayed. And change the name of the images.
And now we come to iWeb.
Add a HTML snippet to a page and paste an <iframe> to display the slideshow :
<iframe src="../../../Standard/" width="950" height="200" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Change the width and height numbers to make the slideshow fit the snippet.

How to adjust the size of the slide in keynote to 7.5 feet high x 3.1 feet wide?

Keynote is not designed to produce printed media, it is set up is for video. There are dozens of applications that are designed for printed output on the Mac, Pages, Word, In design, Quark, Open Office, Libra.
Pages is the accompanying application in the iWork suite that is specifically designed to print to paper, you should look at that first as it May be on your Mac already.
