IPhone4 pictures on AppleTV (2nd gen) have wrong aspect ratio

Hello,
I'm using AirPlay with an iPhone 4 and an AppleTV (2nd gen), my iphone
pictures are displayed with a wrong aspect ratio (I mean really wrong
aspect ratio, rounded stuff is showed "oval".
Movies taken from my MacBook Pro are displayed correctly, any idea?
Thansk!
Alberto

The screenshots aspect ratio is fine on the iPhone (and the picture is good if I transfer it to my MacBook) , but is displayed incorrectly when airplayed to the AppleTV.
The AppleTV is attached to a 24'' screen, all the other stuff from AppleTV (menu, home page, films from internet and so on) are displayed correctly).
Thanks again for your help!

  • Video clips from Canon camcorder have wrong aspect ratio in Premiere Elements 11

    I recently purchased Adobe Premiere Elements 11 and I'm having trouble importing clips from my Canon FS300 camcorder.The camcorder records widescreen video at 720 x 480 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio (presumably using non-square pixels) The clips play correctly in Windows Media Player, VLC, Real Player and several other players.  They do not display correctly in Quicktime or when imported into PE11, showing a 4:3 frame.  I have tried just about every New Project setting in PE11, but the closest result I can achieve is a 4:3 picture in a 16:9 frame. If I run the clips through the VLC Convert utility and output them using the Video - MPEG-2 + MPGA (TS) codec, the resulting clips import and play correctly in PE11. Is there some obscure setting I need to implement when importing these clips, or is PE11 just incapable of recognising file formats which seem to be no problem for most video players. I assume I have the necessary codecs installed, as the clips play correctly in other players.

    Thank you for your findings and comments on this matter of the handling of .the mod widescreen by Premiere Elements. One continues to learn whether they be a beginning, intermediate, or advanced user of Premiere Elements. That is the rewarding part of this type of discussion.
    I appreciated the manner in which you introduced the subject, stated the problem, gave your findings, and made your conclusions. I was particularly interested in the list of can do video editors. You need to go with what works for you.
    After your previous post and that of SG, I went searching for a .mod widescreen online to experiment with in Premiere Elements 11. I could not find one at the moment. But then I remembered that someone had sent me a sample for troubleshooting a few years back. I found it finally. The results are presented for interest value and hopefully not to stir up controversy.
    a. .mod to .mpg had no affect on the 16:9 issue in Premiere Elements 11...expected.
    b. taking the .mod widescreen into Premiere Elements 11 via the Video Importer had no affect on the 16:9 issue in Premiere Elements 11...expected.
    so far we seem to be in agreement in our findings.
    The only video editor that I have of the 4 that you mentioned that worked in this regard was Windows Live Movie Maker. Windows Live Movie Maker  came with my Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit computer so I took a look at the problem in that program. When I tried to import the .mod widescreen into that program via its Add Videos and Photos, it shutdown the program (.mod or .mpg file extenstion). Yet, when I imported that same file into Premiere Elements 11 on the same computer as Windows Live Movie Maker, it opened with no problem, but with the 16:9 issue that I could correct with the Interpret Footage feature.
    True, that was a sampling of one .mod widescreen file. But the statement of the comparsion was unexpected. Based on that, if you had not planned to, please consider the tryout of your next video editor for use with the .mod widescreen to avoid unexpected results which will delay you moving forward with your video projects.
    Success with your video editing projects whatever you decision,

  • HT202157 My AppleTV (2nd gen) crashed last night with the latest update and now all I have a flashing light.  What to do?

    My AppleTV (2nd gen) crashed last night with the latest update and now all I have a flashing light.  What to do? It showed a USB symbol point toward an iTunes symbol and won't reset after resetting with the remote.  Same thing.

    usb symbol pointing toward an itunes symbol is apples way of trying to get you to connect the appletv to your computer running itunes so it can restore the apple tv's software
    though it seems to be a connection few people make

  • HT4352 how can I move a movie purchased on AppleTV 2nd Gen to my Mac computer

    I am using an AppleTV 2nd Gen, and I purchased Skyfall and wish to move it to my Mac to watch.  How can I do this.  I have Home Sharing on correctly, however the AppleTV2 does not show on the iTunes sidebar and I do not see the movie in my purchased content.  Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community..
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • AppleTV (2nd Gen) sound dropping from iTunes (as remote AirTunes speaker)

    Setup:
    - iTunes 10.0.1(22) on Mac mini (1st Gen Intel),Mac OS X 10.5.8, 1.000baseT
    - FritzBox DSL & WLAN router
    - AppleTV (2nd Gen)
    Accessing any content (sound, video, pictures) thru AppleTV from Mac mini works fine. Everything play well, no hickups.
    Playing music from iTunes on my Mac mini using the AppleTV like an AirPort Express with attached speakers drops and regains sound in unspecific intervals - like 5 secs silence, 20 secs sound, 10 secs silence, 5 secs sound etc.
    What can I do ?

    you might be suffering from _*wireless interference*_.
    perhaps one of your neighbor's wireless networks is interfering with yours. download iStumbler (free) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. *change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those*.
    note there may be hidden (closed) networks around that these apps won't pick up. however, KisMac will be able to. be aware, though, that in some countries (e.g. Germany) the use of KisMac may not be legal !

  • AppleTV 2nd gen not updating YouTube app-

    Ok. Learned of the newest updates for apps on my AppleTV 2nd gen. Read about how the YouTube app was new and was hoping to play around with it. But when I got on, I found that it has not updated.
    I updated the software thru the Setting app. No joy. Restored the AppleTV to factory spec with supposed latest update. Still no joy.
    Anyone else have this issue? Searching has not revealed anything yet.
    My info:
    Model: MC572LL/A
    Software: 6.2.1 (6698.99.50.41)
    connected by ethernet to Apple Extreme Base Station
    Thanks in advance.

    I have the exact same problem. The other new channels from the Monday(?) update showed up, but my YouTube app has not changed. I have an AppleTV 2 (i.e. the first hockey puck), is the update limited to certain models?

  • Wrong aspect ratio on HDTV

    I recently purchased an ATV and bought "Shooter" from iTunes. I realize that HD won't be available until the new software update. The picture looks fine when I watch it on my Mac, but after I synched it onto my ATV, it comes out in the wrong aspect ratio. I did not find anything to change in the settings and my TV alerts me that it is a problem with the source. How do I correct this? All the faces look long when I try to watch the movie with ATV.
    Also, if I am using the optical out to my receiver, shouldn't the signal output be in DD 5.1? I'm only able to achieve Dolby Surround (3 ch.). I don't have this audio problem with XBOX, Wii, or my DVD player so I know it's not the receiver.

    first problem - what setting is your TV set to ? looks like your TV is changing the ratio (rather than the appletv). the appletv will only every play it as the movie file dictates. also check that the appletv is set to 720p HD or 1080i HD (ie not 480p)
    second problem - is the movie you download actually 5.1 in the first place? i don't think many of the SD films are 5.1. i think it's only the HD rentals that are 5.1 (and those are not available yet)

  • Wrong aspect ratio in Survey view

    I selected 3 photos and went to the Survey view. Of these photos, 2 were full frame, and 1 was cropped so it has a wider aspect ratio than the full-frame pictures. Survey view showed all 3 the same size, so the cropped one was stretched vertically and looked horrible. What's up with that?
    ...Lightroom 1.1 on Mac OS X.

    Thanks for the suggestion. That's a good tip to keep in my back pocket.
    I don't think this is what happened here though -- the preview image looks correct at all other views in Library mode (grid thumbnail, loupe view, and compare view are all correct; it's only screwed up in survey view). No amount of switching between views, or invoking Library->Preview->Render (1:1 or standard or telling it to discard and rerender) fixes the one in survey.
    It also turns out this is reproducible on demand, if I go from survey view on an uncropped photo straight to develop, crop, and return to survey: if I select 3 images, hit N to enter survey mode, click one of the images, hit R to go to Develop and enter crop mode, crop the image, hit E to return to Library, hit N to go back to Survey... the photo I just cropped has the wrong aspect ratio.
    If I quit Lightroom and reinvoke it, that corrects the bogus shape of the image in Survey view. I haven't yet found any other way to correct the shape.
    As an added bonus, if I go back and forth between Survey and Crop (using R from the Survey page), Lightroom will pretty quicly get in a state where it's stuck in Library and any attempt to go to Develop will say "unable to switch modules", and I have to quit and restart Lr before I can use Develop.

  • Wrong aspect ratio with ProRes capture

    Capturing tape from a panasonic DVX100A shot 24pAdvanced squeeze. When I capture with the DV/DVCPRO codec (using the anamorphic setting) the footage comes in the correct aspect ratio in the project, and the quicktme clip in the finder is the correct aspect ratio also (16:9). However if I capture with the same NTSC anamorphic setting in the ProRes 422 codec, the clip is the correct aspect ratio in the project, but the quicktime file in the finder still has a squeezed look. I understand that the ProRes codec is much better quality, but it is very inconvenient to have all the quicktime files the wrong aspect ratio. This footage will be shared among many projects, and it could be a problem going forward. Any way to get the ProRes codec to create the quicktime file with the correct aspect ratio?
    Thanks.

    For anyone following the thread, I found this forum from Ken Stone, with a couple folks (including Ken) saying that the DVCPro codec is basically indistiguishable from ProRes. So I will be using that codec on these tapes.
    "Before ProRes came alomg, many people transcoded to DVCPRO HD (and DVCPRO 50), from Interframe, long GOP formats and other formats as well.  DVCPRO HD is 4:2:2, Intra frame with a bandwidth of 100 Mbits, excellent. The only difference between DVCPRO HD and ProRes is that ProRes is 10 bit and DVCPRO HD is 8 bit, but ProRes has a higher bandwidth of 144 and 220 Mbits (HQ).
    Now we have ProRes which is an excellent alternative for HDV and XDCAM EX, etc. Everytime we transcode to a different codec we do lose something, so I would think that because these two formats are so very close I would stay in DVCPRO HD and not 'lose' any quality by transcoding to ProRes.
    For me, FCP has always loved DVCPRO HD and runs it like a dream.
    My 2 cents.

  • Wrong aspect ratio for imported widescreen videos

    When I import some videos (home made) they show up as the wrong aspect ratio. For example, the latest one is 1026x576 in the folder, which is correct, but shows up as 1456x576 which is too wide. How can I prevent this? Incidentally, I have checked the file in itunes folder using quicktime, and it is correctly sized at 1026 wide. Strangely, itunes thinks it's wider. Also, this is a problem I have found in previous versions of itunes. Phil

    Hi, it's very strange. When I get time I will try different settings on Handbrake to see if there is any improvement. However I have even had this problem when outputting from fce. It seems to be a bug in iTunes. At least I'm not alone in experiencing the problem. Regards Phil

  • Keynote to quicktime movie has wrong aspect ratio

    I have created some Keynote Quicktime movies.  When I import them into iMovie, they become too tall and wide to see the pictures.  How can I change the aspect ratio (I want to use 16:9) and/or the height and width of the slides to be seen properly?

    Hi David, I know this was discussed in you posting already but I just wanted to make sure I had it clear. I have a 4:3 film and I've exported as a quicktime movie with current settings, which should be 4:3 and found that the image when played back in quicktime, looks horizontally stretched. Almost as if quicktime is trying to play it back as a 16:9 image. I think this is the same issue the other fellow was having but I just wanted to be clear. You're saying that the 4:3 image distortion is perfectly normal when played back in quicktime on a computer screen and that the export will look fine when put to DVD or sent to a monitor? I just wanted to make sure because this problem is freaking me out and I don't want to deliver a distorted image to my client. Could you also explain briefly why this happens with quicktime export and not quicktime conversion and what causes quicktime to distort the 4:3 image? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    james.

  • Wrong aspect ratio in itunes ?

    I have the proplem that itunes doesn´t display videos properly. I have recorded TV shows with Elgato EyeTV and then converted them with Turbo.264 so i can watch them in iTunes. They have have 076x550 pixels after i converted tehm and if i watch them with quicktime player everything is ok. But if add this video file to my itunes library ITunes telle me that is has 1385x550 pixels and if i watch it in iTunes it is distorted, it is much to broad. Is there a bug in iTunes?

    Sometimes this can be a result of the encoder not providing the proper information to Quicktime in iTunes...dunno of the specifics, but users have had aspect ratio problems with other Apple apps that used quicktime, and reencoding the videos using quicktime player helped, if my memory serves me correctly. I'd recommend using Quicktime to convert your movies instead of using Turbo.264, or take the product of Turbo.264 and re-convert it through Quicktime. Try various settings and such in the conversions to see if they help.

  • Watching iphoto home videos on Appletv 2nd gen

    How do I get videos from iphoto to my Appletv 2nd generation?

    Yes, I've tried that several times and when I choose "Add to library" from iTunes menu it pulls up the Finder.  I tried adding to Movies file and it appeared to work but they didn't show up there.  Tried adding it by highlighting and putting it on the right side and clicking "add to" but after ejecting iPad the videos weren't on iTunes.  What am I doing wrong?

  • AUS : Why no TV show purchases on AppleTV 2nd Gen?

    Hi All, I have recently purchased an ATV2...
    My Apple TV (1st Gen) still shows a list of TV shows that can be purchased from iTunes, as does my iMac running iTunes 10.5.1.
    Why is it that my new Apple TV (2nd Gen) cannot?

    You cannot purchase TV shows on ATV 2 as there is no hard-drive. In the US you can currently stream purchased shows via iCloud but it hasn't been rolled out to other locations at this time (likely due to licensing).
