Ideas for HELP sizing a photo to display as a menu background

Hey gang. I'm authoring in iDVD and have a photo with DVD credits that I want to display as a menu background. There won't be any buttons on the page. Just this image of DVD credits. The iDVD manual tells you to size photos for an NTSC 4:3 display at 720 x 540 pixels. However, when I drop it onto the menu, it automatically enlarges the image so that there's only a partial view of the image. The only adjustment that can be made is vertically. I've even tried shrinking the image with text and mounting it on a matte so that it appears in the TV safe viewing area, but no luck there. Same thing happens. Any ideas? If someone want to mess around with the image, let me know and i'll email it to you. Thanks!

hey there koshercuts, welcome to Discussions.
have you tried to edit your pic in iPhoto before dropping it into the iDVD menu? this is where you edit your pix, not in iDVD. also see this: http://www.danslagle.com/mac/iMovie/, Dan's site has a lot of great info, especially "Tips & Tricks".
good luck.

Ideas for HELP sizing a background menu photo in iDVD6

i use photoshop to create my idvd backgrounds.
I size the backgrounds at 720 x 534 pixels in photoshop,
and "save as" .jpg.
they fit my idvd menu perfectly.
no re-sizing needed!
hope this helps

Any ideas for resolving IE "Page Cannot be Displayed" issues being encountered in Viewer using 11.1.1.7 in SSL mode, works fine w/Firefox & Chrome, or IE using nonSSL.

Wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue. We have tried to work an SR on it, but just have not been getting anywhere w/support.
We recently upgraded from 11.1.1.6 to 11.1.1.7.
When using a SSL connection (https://...8094), our Discoverer Viewer IE users are encountering "Page cannot be found" errors when running reports and when trying to export. The problems are not encountered for users utilizing Firefox or Chrome, just IE.
A couple notes:
We've found that by dialing down the number of rows to display, that will most often allow the report to work, e.g. if the report is set to display 25 rows, the report will fail and we'll just get the IE "Page cannot be found". If we change the display rows to 5, then the exact same report with the exact same parameters will work. Although it would be nice to be able to display more than just 5 rows of data :-) .
When the report runs successfully, we've also found that users get a lot of failures when exporting to .XLS. Often they can be successful exporting to .csv instead of .xls, but some reports still fail to export .csv.
We didn't have any of these issues prior to upgrading from 11.1.1.6 to 11.1.1.7, and again the issues only impact IE users when connecting in SSL mode. If we test the exact same reports/parameters using a non-SSL connection (same web-server, just using http://....:8090 instead of https://.....:8094), everything works great. Something just doesn't seem to be compatible between IE, SSL and the Web Server for the page calls over some certain size.
Just wanted to reach out to see if any Disco Web Server gurus out there might have any ideas of things for us to try.
Thanks a ton!
Larry

So, I did this:
edited $INSTANCE_HOME/config/OHS/ohs1/ssl.conf file.
Commented/removed the following section (Took a backup of the file before modifying it)
BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \
nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
opmnctl stopall
opmnctl startall
The Viewer problem seems to be gone. Oracle is adding a note to MOS for this issue, possibly with this solution.

I have a new MacBook(2012). Being a new Mac user, I do not know what to do when Safari doesn't open at all. The icon just bounces up and down and when the cursor is on the top main menu bar it is the spinning rainbow wheel. Any ideas for help?

When I try to open safari the icon stats bouncing and then nothing happens other than the cursor turning to a spinning rainbow wheel when it hoovers on the top main menu bar. I have shut down and restart several times. My safari worked yesterday and then today this, but with. I indication of a problem. I can't even get the browser window to open so that I can clear caches or reset anything. When I opened my computer this time I don't even get a bouncing icon. No recognition of selecting the program at all. If I go to spotlight and try to open safari from here I still get no response. Can you help?

Hi ...
If you have moved the Safari application from the Applications folder, move it back.
As far as the cache goes, there's a work around for that when you can't empty the Safari cache from the menu bar.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.aple.Safari.Cache.db. Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Try Safari.

Why is Safari 5.1.7 for Windows the only browser that displays video with gray background, when it's white in four other browsers?

Hello all,
Here's my coding obstacle to overcome with Safari in my local dev environment using Windows 7 32-bit and wamp server. I created a pretty straightforward one and a half minute animation in Flash with a white background. Then I exported it as both an swf and avi video, then I encoded to several different file formats - ogg, mp4, and webm. Firefox 19, Chrome 24, and Opera 12 all play the webm file correctly showing the video's white background as expected, and IE 10 plays the mp4 correctly.
However, when Safari 5.1.7 plays one of these files that I can't distinguish (because right click functionality displays nothing), the video's background property is changed to (gray) throughout the video instead of white. What the?
Can someone please provide a workaround?

Yes, I am still having the automatic tab reloading and I am ******* sick of it.
I have lost count of how much work I have lost because of it.
I have 8 GB of perfect new RAM and tonnes of SSD HD space, I have tried reinstalling the OS etc and every fix on the internet (no (SP) mode does not work, nor does switching Java off etc, it's not an extension nor corrupted anything ... it's an uncontrollable fault with Safari).
Why does it keep happening !?!
And I am so sick of Apple not acknowledging this and responding to it.
What triggers it ... it is a built memory or cache limitation? It is a plain and simple crash?
How do I debug it to find out?
It strikes me that 20 years after the internet went public Apple ... despite all their billions and open source developers working for free ... still cannot make a browser that does not crash and so they decided to make a browser that *appears* not to crash ... except that it *does* ... only now the facade remains erect but everything else behind it crashes causing all tabs to reload, and videos and music start to play.
And there is no way to stop it doing so.
The most key app of our day and it is a POS.

Cannot display the screen of the macbook on TV. OS is Lion 10.7.2. Connection to the TV is over HDMI cable. TV shows only the backgroud picture of Lion. Do you have any suggestions for help ?

You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

Help! Ideas for displaying ~100-300 still images with After Effects / Premiere Pro

Hi, I am a cadet at a US Air Force detachment and am responsible for making this semester's end of the year video.
I have the Adobe creative cloud and am familiar with the basics of Photoshop, and Premiere Pro, and I am trying to also learn After Effects. I have a large amount of picture and video, and am at a loss for how to quickly make all these pictures into an interesting slideshow. Software such as Cyberlink Powerdirector had a "photo grid" which would allow me to create an automatic slideshow of images on a 3x3 grid, where each image flashed into place one at a time. I am looking for automated processes or tutorials to feed my images into and have a modern effect of displaying the images.
If anyone has any idea for a template or where to start on handling a large amount of still images in After Effects or Premiere Pro, I could definitely use a point in the right direction!
Exactly what I want can be found at 5:27 of this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150247563700519&set=vb.120583801339638&type=2&theat er

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

Yes, you should get an email if somebody replies to a thread you started or one to which you posted. I did; that's how I knew you had replied. Check up at the top of the right column of this thread. In the "Actions" box you should find "Stop email notifications" if you are subscribed to this thread.
One step you didn't list among HP's suggestions is a compound action: delete the app, reset the iPad (by holding down the home and start buttons together for ten seconds), then reinstall the app and test it. If it still falls over, I would say the HP app has not kept up with iOS changes and needs updating -- OR your iPad has developed some persistent internal corruption in its photo storage that only the HP app trips over (in which case, the app still needs updating, but it's going to be much harder for HP to determine how).

All of my photos are displayed as BW because somehow I've saved a quick develop preset and it saves as BW. This is for all of my photos. I can individually undo them but need help in how to get rid of the preset so it goes to Default. thanks

Go to the develop module and highlight all of the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen. Then activate Auto-sync and click on the Reset button. That should reset all of the images to your camera default settings.

How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created a desktop file for photos and SD card in Finder, dragged photos to card, but when I try to view them in the camera, it says "No valid photo to display"

How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created desktop files for the photos and the card, dragged photos to the card, but when I replace card in camera, it says "No valid photo to display". I just need to get some prints made and have been struggling with this for hours. Thank you.

No one can help you any more than has been done
Your camera is not a general purpuose photo display system - it is designed to take photos, let you look at those photos and allow you to download them to your computer or other places - if you wnat to use it view photos then you have to put the photos in exactly the correct place with exactly the correct names or it will not see them
And this has absolutely nothing to do with iPhoto in any way - iPhoto sotres and proecesses yoru photos and allows you to export them - once you export them it is totally out of the picture - you can easily get photo prints by using the iPhoto print service, using an internet print service, burning photos to a DVD and taking them to a print service or putting them on a SD card and taking them to a print service - to view them on your camera you have to exactly reporduce what the camera is looking for - not at all sure what the pirnt even is

Any idea for high display resolution in application sharing server ?

Hi.
I installed EP6 SP 13 with KMC and configure collaboration feature.
I tested application sharing and It works.
Then, I found problem.
Problem is that application sharing server doesn't support 1400x1050 display resolution. (only works till 1280x1024)
Is there any idea for solving this issue ?
Regards, Arnold.

Hi Arnold,
I'm afraid this screen resolution is not yet supported. The official supported screen resolution is 1024x768 ! but as you stated it <b>can</b> work wit 1280x1024. You could open an OSS ticket and ask the KM Development for plans on supporting higher resolutions in application sharing and let us also know.
Hope this helps,
Robert

I have an idea for a phone, but I don't know how to make it or anything like that and I'd like you to help.

I have an idea for a phone that in my opinion beats the big brands, they don't think about the smaller communties and focus on the girls taking photoes of themselves, my phone is different and I'd like Firefox OS to be it's operating system
I still need to finish designs etc. but I have no idea how to make a phone or anything like that so I'd like guidance on the matter.
I also have OS idea's myself but they're only thoughts, nothing in motion.
To summarise, I'd like assistance. If you could help I'd be most grateful, thanks.
-Trey

Thanks, I know I'm not really a big brand (not even a brand at that) but I think you could always release as Firefox's first own brand mobile WITH the OS :)

Just to make sure, what exactly do you mean by "stacking photos" and what do you want to achieve thereby?
