IDVD video resolution?

Hey Guys
Maybe this is a stupid question - but here goes:
What is the best video resolution that can be put on a DVD disc by iDVD?
such as 480i or 720 ( i or p ) or 1080i ???
With HDV source to Apple intermid code (FCE HD) to iDVD QT MPEG-4 = ?????
Thanks

Yes. Standard (i.e. not HD) widescreen video is a kludge. The widescreen movie is simply squashed horizontally into the same space taken up by a normal 4:3 image (720x480 pixels for NTSC, 720x576 for PAL). When your TV switches to widescreen it just stretches the image again. This gives you highly non-square pixels but then standard TVs have no concept of pixels anyway (they're effectively analogue). It works but it's still a kludge. HD video uses square pixels like a computer so a widescreen image has more pixels horizontally.

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Video Resolution, and Windows Reset?

Two quick questions.
1. Where, if possible, can I set the settings for the videos resolution (i.e. 16:9, pixels, ect)
2. Is it possible to reset all the windows to their default opening layout and size? (I screwed up something on my timeline so now only half of the horizontal slider bar is showing until I click on it)

From the menu: Window>Arrange>Standard.
This will only reset the Layout.

Cannot Change Video Resolution in Youtube

When I try to change the video resolution in YouTube, the screen goes black and it automatically goes to 240p regardless of the resolution that I choose. It will play the video so long as it remains in its default resolution i.e. 360p or 240p. I also have Chrome downloaded and it has no issue changing between video resolution so I am assuming it is an issue with Safari. I reinstalled Flash and I tried resetting the computer but had no success with either of those attempts. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dan

Thanks dschinkal! When I view You Tube clips on Safari and click the resolution adjuster to increase it (say, to 720), the screen goes black and I have to click refresh in order to reload the page. After which, it plays again at a low resolution.
This has happened since I bought my new iMac 27" a month ago.

You can't change the video resolution. The resolution is 720P

Unsupported video resolution

I changed to an unsupported (by my monitor) video resolution and now I can't see the screen. How do I change it back?

I believe if you reset PRAM, it will revert to a default setting. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242 & http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US

Apple TV 2 does not switch automatically the video resolution (60 HZ / 50 HZ)

My apple TV streams the content from a Mac Mini. In my iTunes library are mixed content from the iTunes store. Some are 24 fps with 60 Hz and some are 25 fps with 50 HZ. All was bought on iTunes. The video resolution is set on my Apple TV to AUTO. This mens for me that my Apple TV will change the resolution by itself depending on the movie.
And this is the problem. The Apple TV does not change the resolution. It is only on 60 Hz. A lot of people has the same problem. My iPad wokrs fine and displays all movies correct.

Thank you for the eplanation. What might cause that activity as the TV was off and no other HDMI was on? Only WiFi was available but nothing connecting to the apple TV.... I tried to "wake it up" with iTunes on my macbook - and it works (I was not aware of). But it could not be iTunes and it was not really "used". So it might be iPhone or iPod waking it without we want it to.
I'll check all items potentially connecting to it. Txs!

Lower the video resolution on iphone 5 for Apple TV?

Can you lower the video resolution on iPhone 5 so that it will play on Apple TV. Now it takes forever for a short video to buffer. I know I can convert it to a lower resolution myself - once the video is complete - but many videos, such as kids' birthday parties are fine at lower resolution, and I'd love to be able to show them immediately on TV.

Which kind of iOS you have
if iOS 7.1 then it's software issue and many users complaining from its battery life
I hope apple fix this issue in the next update
for now you can disable any settings that running and you aren't using it (apps/games, wifi, bluetooth...etc)
only keep what you need.

Change Video Resolution

Hi at all
I want to change the resolution of my video. As far as I know this is possible with IAMStreamConfig.But all the samples I see are handling with a Webcam Input.
What about changing the resolution of a video file?
That's how I would do it, but it doesn't work
Code Snippet
Guid iid = typeof(IAMStreamConfig).GUID;
object outPin;
hr = cgb2.FindInterface(PinCategory.Capture, MediaType.Video, fileSource, iid, out obj);
DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR(hr);
IAMStreamConfig config = outPin as IAMStreamConfig;
AMMediaType mediaType;
hr = config.GetFormat(out mediaType);
DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR(hr);
try
VideoInfoHeader vih = new VideoInfoHeader();
Marshal.PtrToStructure(mediaType.formatPtr, vih);
vih.BmiHeader.Width = 640;
vih.BmiHeader.Height = 480;
finally
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mediaType);

You both understood what I wanted. Yes I want to the change the video Resolution, not the display resolution!
But when you look at the DxLogo sample you will see this method:
Code Snippet
private void SetConfigParms(ICaptureGraphBuilder2 capGraph, IBaseFilter capFilter, int iFrameRate, int iWidth, int iHeight)
            int hr;
            object o;
            AMMediaType media;
            IAMStreamConfig videoStreamConfig;
            IAMVideoControl videoControl = capFilter as IAMVideoControl;
            // Find the stream config interface
            hr = capGraph.FindInterface(
                PinCategory.Capture, MediaType.Video, capFilter, typeof(IAMStreamConfig).GUID, out o );
            videoStreamConfig = o as IAMStreamConfig;
            try
                if (videoStreamConfig == null)
                    throw new Exception("Failed to get IAMStreamConfig");
                hr = videoStreamConfig.GetFormat(out media);
                DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                // copy out the videoinfoheader
                VideoInfoHeader v = new VideoInfoHeader();
                Marshal.PtrToStructure( media.formatPtr, v );
                // if overriding the framerate, set the frame rate
                if (iFrameRate > 0)
                    v.AvgTimePerFrame = 10000000 / iFrameRate;
                // if overriding the width, set the width
                if (iWidth > 0)
                    v.BmiHeader.Width = iWidth;
                // if overriding the Height, set the Height
                if (iHeight > 0)
                    v.BmiHeader.Height = iHeight;
                // Copy the media structure back
                Marshal.StructureToPtr( v, media.formatPtr, false );
                // Set the new format
                hr = videoStreamConfig.SetFormat( media );
                DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                DsUtils.FreeAMMediaType(media);
                media = null;
                // Fix upsidedown video
                if (videoControl != null)
                    VideoControlFlags pCapsFlags;
                    IPin pPin = DsFindPin.ByCategory(capFilter, PinCategory.Capture, 0);
                    hr = videoControl.GetCaps(pPin, out pCapsFlags);
                    DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                    if ((pCapsFlags & VideoControlFlags.FlipVertical) > 0)
                        hr = videoControl.GetMode(pPin, out pCapsFlags);
                        DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                        hr = videoControl.SetMode(pPin, 0);
            finally
                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(videoStreamConfig);
What do I have to do that this (also) works with a File Source?
Because this method only works with a Live Source (from webcam etc.)

Reduce video resolution

Is there a way to reduce the captured video resolution of the camera?
Video files are HUGE in size and 1. Take forever to load on Apple TV to show others (a minutes and a half video takes almost a minute and a half before the video will start to play) 2. Videos are taking up WAY too much room on my iphone. A three minute video is 512MB. While I know 1080p is impressive, it isn't very practical for short clips that don't require all that video detal, especially if they are only going to be played back on the device. 1920x1080 video doesn't give any value to a 960x640 screen. I have 6GB left on my phone and want to be able take a handful of videos photos on my vacation. At this rate, it doesn't appear that I will get to take as many videos as I was once able to with the 3GS. In any matter, please let me know if there is a way to reduce the video resoltuion.

There is no way to reduce the video resolution using the rear facing camera, however if you use the front facing camera, the video will be shot in SD.

Keystroke to start up G5 at basic video resolution?

Is there a way to start my stock 1.8 GHZ single G5 in basic video resolution (like, VGA?) by holding down some key at startup? I connected the G5 to a new 26" Dell LCD screen. Upon startup, the Dell said "can't display this video mode, change computer display input to 1360 X 768 @ 60Hz."
The Dell worked with this computer before, I guess the G5 is still set to a sky high resolution (1600 pixel?) from another monitor. It's not easy to mess with the G5 now, it's walled around with gear, so I was hoping maybe I could simply hold some key at startup to boot it in VGA to make the Dell work?

Press the Shift key at startup. If that doesn't work, no.

QT video resolution issues from Apple podcast server

My video is low res. 7.6.6 on OSX 10.5.8 has disabled the media settings. I have tried to change the settings for "instant on" but it keeps defaulting to the on position in the medium range. I tried to re-install 7.6.4 but while the player shows that it has been properly installed when i go to the QT pro registration it is still showing that it is 7.6.6. QUESTION How do I re-configure QT pro for my firefox browser so that I get the proper resolution (I don't want to upgrade to the newest OS yet.

"Instant On" setting is for "streaming" media:

It has nothing to do with the video resolution.
