Larger screen size video invitation

Is there a way to make ichat start with a larger video screen when invited by a buddy? In combination with autoaccept my mother just waits for my invitation and has not to enlarge the screen every time.

iChat should remember the window size of the last closed chat and reopen any new chat to this size.
I must admit iChat 4 seems more reticent on this.
Some experimenting seems to show your outgoing chats are remembered but not the Incoming ones
This is a Screen Shot of a Leopard QuickLook of the com.apple.ichat.plist
Link to host site where you can make it bigger http://www.flickr.com/photos/90943061@N00/2497233999/
The highlighted bit is the string to alter to make it remember what size to be.
The thing to do would be to have the window a certain size and then close the Quicklook and then change the Video chat window size and reopen Quicklook to see what had changed.
This file can be opened and Edited if you install the Developers Tools from the Install Disk > Optional Installs to get Property List Editor.
The file can be opened with TextEdit but is much more difficult to read.
The figures shown will be the Incoming Invite window, the Outgoing window if you call and the Incoming window when Accepted with a size and position reference.
Which order they come in I am not sure.
It may be possible to write an AppleSript that can be set to the AutoAccept that goes Full Screen.

Problem with image resolution with larger screen size

I was working on Basic Lens Sample (Basic
Lens Sample) for windows phone 8 App. In this the camera by default sets to default highest resolution.
Just had couple of questions on this:
1.) How to change basic settings like resolution,ISO etc.,in this app, because during initial settings
it only takes default value and when I try to change that it throws an error. Also a code comment is written during initialization of camera to take only these default values. So when to change these settings and how?.
2.) How to adjust resolution for phablets having 6" screen. Like when I run the code in Lumia 1320,
the image resolution is not that good and it breaks. So how to adjust screen resolutions for catering different smartphones with different resolutions and screen sizes.
Any solution or suggestions or snippets is very much appreciated.
Thanks In Advance.

Hello,
For you first question, we can use
GetAvailableCaptureResolutions method of PhotoCaptureDevice to get the available resolutions in device. That code sample returns the largest resolution by default, you just need to choose an appropriate one. You can find it in CameraController class in
Models folder in the project.
For you second question, I tested the sample in lumia 1320, I didn’t see the image broken.
>> So how to adjust screen resolutions for catering different smartphones with different resolutions and screen sizes.
You can get an appropriate resolution image and let the OS downscale it for you. You can find the support resolution in the following link. Go to Supported resolutions section.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj206974(v=vs.105).aspx.
If you want to display the whole large resolution image in lower resolution device, I think you can use
ScrollViewer control. Use Application.Current.Host.Content.ActualWidth and ActualHeight properties to get the device resolutions, and then you can know if your app is running on a lower resolution device.

Making all video the same screen size

Hi,
I am importing numerous screen size video into Premier Pro. How can I get them all the same size?

Make a sequence the same size as the majority of the clips and right click 'scale to frame size' for all the ones that don't match. You might have to change the scaling manually if they are of different shape.

Video Stalls - Larger File Size

Just downloaded Battlestar Galactica season 2 and the video stalls at full screen. Do not have this problem with previous Battlestar Galactica shows and movies that I have downloaded in the past.
I notice the File Size and Total Bit Rate of the new shows are three times greater in size than the shows I've downloaded in the past.
Using the utility ativity monitor, I notice I'm maxing out my CPU when I go to full screen which I think is causing my video stall.
I also notice that now my previous TV show downloads don't fully fill my screen like that did before the new downloads.
I hope someone might know how I can get my TV shows back to working normal at full screen and why the new TV shows file sizes are larger than before.
Thanks for Your Help

Thanks for the reply. Shortly after I posted, I started to relize that Apple was offering better TV Show quality which results in larger file sizes. I also went to my Energy Saver section in System Prefrences and found my Optimize Energy Settings was set for Presentations. I changed it to Highest Performance which resolved the issue.

When I burn my imovie I get the IDVD screen with a thumb size video playing in the corner of the screen without audio - weird

When I burn my imovie I get the IDVD screen with a thumb size video playing in the corner of the screen without audio - weird

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

With ios 7.03 I cannot expand youtube videos to screen size but get white blanks all around the stream

since the update to ios 7.0.3 I cannot expand Youtube videos to screen size - instead, the features around the video dissappear and are replaced by white fields. With my ipad mini I do not have that problem.
Does anybody know advice?

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

TOC, streaming video and screen size

Hello,
A recent project is shaping up to be a video based course. The purpose of the project is to introduce and explain a sales software package.
Before I start to work I need to ensure Captivate 7 can cover three basic requirements;
1. The end user needs must have access to a table of contents so they can switch between slides/content and have the freedom to move about. I know that Captivate 7 can accommodate this.
2. To be able to embed streaming video. It is important that the video appears to be a part of the content and not open to a new window at anytime. Also, the rewind and pause buttons for the video are controlled by Captivate 7 inbuilt buttons and not those of the video streaming host.
3. Ensure the screen size for the learning package is restricted to a specific size. Reason being, some users will have desktop screens at 1920 x 1080 and this will "blur" the video content if stretched to that size.
Might Captivate 7 fulfill items two and 3?
Your feedback and thoughts are most appreciated!
Sincere thanks

Hate to answer my own question, but I figured out a way to do what I want.
1. open movie file in QT.
2. Resize it and save.
3. Open file with skin movie (see link in my orig post).
4. then view < normal.
It basically fits it to the screen which is the exact dimensions of the movie. If I do not view<normal then the movie is offset I can not even see it. And resetting the offset does nothing.
If anyone has a better way (less steps) to get a borderless movie to resize and fit to screen, please let me know. This works but it is cumbersome.
Thanks.

Making a screen capture video to be digitally projected large - quality?

I am making a screen capture video on my macbook. The capture area is not the full 13" screen. Currently I am using quicktime. The video itself is very basic but it will ultimately be projected on a large wall. What do I need to do in settings etc. to make sure the quality isn't compromised when projected? Quicktime does not seem to offer the option to record in HD quality when screen capturing. It looks great on my screen but I am unsure how it will translate large. Please advise this rookie thank you!

Thanks!
I'm only trying to capture a portion of my screen, but quicktime does not give the option to record in HD or control the quality when making screen captures.
I have downloaded IshowUHD and I can record in high dimensions but when I view the playback in fullscreen mode the quality does not seem to shift. Am I missing something super basic? Thanks in advance.

Play iTunes video through large screen off a Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5

I want to play iTunes videos out through my cpu onto a large screen format. Does not have to be HDTV, any screen will do. I own a digital firewire camera if that would help. Is there a compostie video out on my CPU? Some method to convert it to composite or component video? What about using something from Canopus to convert the signal? Any ideas?
Thanks.

A replacement card MUST be Mac specific unless you have the know how to hack the ROM to a Mac ROM (flash in a PC first).

Hi can some one please help my screen size has changed its self and is now larger than the screen can someone please let me know if this is a bug? if so how do i fix this? or am i just a nonce? if so how do i resolve this thanks in advance.

N80 VIDEO CONVERSION SCREEN SIZE

Hi all
i want to convert some clips to use on my phone so size if the file is not an issue, what im trying to find out is when i use the nokia multimedia convertor to set the screen size of the phone what do i use...
128 x 96
176 x 144
or
352 x 288
Can anyone help please, thanks peteMessage Edited by peter7769 on 22-Sep-2006

Hi Peter
If there is no size limit and you only intend to view them yourself rather than send them via MMS then the highest resolution (352 x 288) will give the best picture quality.
Obviously the lower the resolution the poorer the quality (128 x 96) but also the smaller the file size. So you've got to work out:
A) What you want to do with the file (send it or just review it)
B) How much space you are prepared to let it take on your memory.
Remember you can always send it by bluetooth or infrared if you want to give a copy to friends.

IOS-7 on i-phone 4: apps are automatically enlarged and the screen size does not fit for large apps. How can I disable enlarging the apps?

I use IOS-7 with I-Phone 4. The icons are enlarged automatically (size on the screen), and the screen cannot show all app icons at the same time. The right side of the applications is cut (when used) because the screen size is insufficient. What can I do to disable this enlargement of the icons?

Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.

Ipod AV kit / DVD's / Screen Size / Handbrake...questions please help???

Hi everyone i was wondering if you could help me out. I have been using handbrake for a while to rip all of my DVD's. I have always changed the screen output size to 320 x 240 because i knew i was only going to be watching it on my IPOD. But i just recently picked up an Ipod AV Kit (waiting for it to be shiped). My question is this... Now that i have the av kit, i would like to watch these movies on a television (hotel room, cruise, etc...) Should i still be changing the screen size? If so to what? And if i leave the screen size to its largest size (dont know what it is ?) Will the ipod automatically shrink it down to be able to watch the movie on the ipod as well???
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me

Engine, if you use a screen size larger than 320x240 you won't be able to get the file onto your iPod....iTunes won't transfer it. So continue as you are.
I've watched iPod files on a TV. The bigger the screen the poorer the quality (obviously!), it is clearer watchable, you just wouldn't want to watch it all the time. Some scenes look naff (like the openning sequence in the X-Files film....all that snow).
Instant Handbrake is now available. It converts straight to iPod Video format.
Good luck

What are best exports settings for project that will be shown on large screen?

I'm working in AE CS6 and am preparing a two-minute video using type animations and some still cartoons and some still photography. The client will eventually show it through his computer on a large screen to a group of people. What's the best settings in the render queue to output this so it shows pristinely? I'm thinking a Quicktime movie output as Animation but I really don't know. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Animation Quicktime is NOT the way to go. This codec will only playback in real time reliably on a super computer. You need to pick a good distribution format that will stick around. PICK H.264. Read on...
If by large screen you mean a really big TV then make a standard HD 1920 X 1080 comp at 29.97 fps and render using the Adobe Meida Encoder. You can put your Animation Codec Quicktime in the AME if you like but I think there are better DI formats (Digital Intermediate). Pick h.264 as the format and pick the Vimeo or YouTube HD preset and jack the data rate up to 40 or even 50 and enable Multi Pass rendering. You will have a file that will playback smoothly on any modern system, even from a newer iPad or other tablet.
If you mean a 4K display then use the same technique but create your 4K composition using the standard 4K display size of 3640 X 2160 and use the YouTube 4K preset.
You can jack up the data rate for that preset also but don't go above 50.
This will give you a file that is technically as good or better than you would get with a fiber connection to a 4K broadcast. How the project looks when played back will depend on how good you are at choosing the right techniques for your animation and color grading taking into account the color space you're working in, the gamut of the display, and the motion of animated elements as it relates to frame rate. (Hint: that's why I said to choose 29.97 as the frame rate because animating illustrations and text to look good on a big screen is a lot more difficult at 24 fps than it is at 29.97 and you don't need 60fps because what you gain in the elimination of judder you loose in the addition of compression artifacts when the data rate is the same.)
One last piece of advice. Obsessing about the quality of your playback format to achieve the MAXIMUM result is for the most part a huge waste of time and energy. Get the color right and tell the story well and avoid juddering animations and you'll blow the audience away even at 10 or 12 Mbps HD. 90% of all quality issues in rendered animations that I've seen are issues of design and animation technique, not issues of rendering with the wrong settings.
