Letterboxing: How long does it take?

I just uploaded 1hrs worth of video clips into iMovie HD project. Did a save of the project and then quit. What it did was automatically start "Letterboxing. Please wait. This may take a while". Now several hours later its still at it.
What is letterboxing? Do I need it? How long does it take to complete? If I kill it will it screw up my video clips that I just imported into a project?

Yes, this will screw up your video clips unless you intended for it to be letterboxed. Letterboxing refers to the black bars that are added to a wide screen movie when it is showing on a non-widescreen monitor. Most likely, you created a non-widescreen project in iMovie HD, and imported widescreen video. iMovie is now busy changing every frame of your video to fit. Start all over with a new wide project, then import your clips again.

  • How long does it take to create a recovery disc?

    Hi!!!
    I have just bought a Toshiba Portege T110.
    I tried the first time round and cancelled at disc 4 bec i was out of writeable disc.
    Today i am on my 2nd try.  I have mgt disc 1-3.  When at disc 4~~it says is creating Windon Recovery Environment (64bit) and recording.  But the progress bar has been hanging there for the abt 1-2hrs and still not done yet~~
    I tried to cancel the program, but it says is recording and advise me not to cancel as it will take a long time.
    Can some kind soul advise if this is normal?  How long does it takes?  If not, what could be the problem?
    Thank you in advance!!!

  • "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"

    Yesterday there was a question in the USALUG.org "How long does it take to do a dist-upgrade on your distro?"
    This question was a good question, so I decide to make the ultimate test. I have a lot of computers standing here around, and remembered that on one of them was have already Archlinux installation. I was right, when I booted, the system check said me, that the system was 253 days not checked anymore. I got so excited that I forgot to check was it one of my 0.7.2 Gimmick or 0.8 Voodoo installations.

    After reboot the system loads all new applications with out any problem. Later I replaced the intel-video driver "xf86-video-i810 1.7.4-6" with the driver xf86-video-intel 2.2.0-2. No problems at all.

    definitely. By contrast, here's a regular upgrade on my debian box -- out of the blue it's having some problem with one of the packages, and it's turning into a regular recursive nightmare.

    It's so "delicate" and temperamental compared to the no-nonsense, straightforward approach of Arch. If one little thing is off, the entire system has a hissy-fit and won't do anything until you hunt the internet high and low searching for a solution, encountering all the debian hawks along the way who are ready to rip your head off at the first suggestion that debian isn't directly from god and could have a problem. Imo, Arch is the best linx distro hands down. Nothing else even comes close.

  • So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher ...

    I have a 160GB Gen 5 that I bought when first released back in the day when they were $400. Through a number of changes, the most recent being the advent of the Convert Higher Bitrate Songs to 128bit AAC feature, I decided to look at what more music I could store. After all was said and done, I ended up with a bit of a disaster with cover art not being properly applied to the music being played. I decided to *restore the ipod* based on suggestions in the discussion boards, and equally important was following the hints and tips here.
    http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp
    The advice is especially important in very large library situations to ensure you have uniqueness in the albums you want to display. Hadn't really given it much thought until I had the ability to see the individual albums for the 40K songs on the iPod via the cover art view.
    Finally the point of the post...
    *So how long does it take to load a 160GB iPod using the Convert Higher Bitrate option now available in iTunes 9.1?* The specs on my computer are not highend by any stretch, but it's no slouch, and neither of the CPUs are ever pegged. At this point I've lost count of how much time it's taken, but the load is going on 3-4 days. With some breaks in between because I need to check each incremental load to verify there is no cover art corruption, correct bad tags and such, but for the most part the loading is visibly slow, and I'm sure the conversion is the cause. I'm not really complaining at this point, but there is clearly room for improvement. And of course unless there is a redo involved in which case I will get quite cranky.
    *I would like to hear the experiences of others.*
    Finally to lend a bit more credence to the performance concern, my 32GB iPhone 3GS for only about say 28GB of music takes about 24 hrs to load from a 2.2GHz dual core intel laptop, again using the convert higher bitrate option.

    With AC power adapter it takes 3-4 hours for a full charge. With the USB charger it takes 9-0 hours for a full charge. I am not happy with them removing the AC charger and other accessoreis at all. It's business but it still stinks.
    I know I would rethink my purchase but would most likely end up buying the Micro anyway

    Im going to migrate to another mac using time machine, how long does it take (time machine/main hdd in the old mac was at about 700gb capacity)

  • How long does it take to get my X61 checked from water spill?

    Hi,
    I had spilled some water into my X61 yesterday.
    Though I instantly shut it down and try to clean, I was too stupid to try to boot it in ten minutes.
    Not sure if it is "OK" right now....
    Does anyone have the same experience?
    Could you share how long does it take you to have your laptop shipped and checked at lenovo repair center?
    Thanks a lot!

    do you have accidental damage warranty? if you don't then you will incur a hefty bill. The check up should not take more than 5 days including shipping, provided that no parts need to changed, if there is parts that are required, then depending on the parts availability, you could wait up to a month or two. 
    Regards,

  • HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET iPHOTO BOOK?

    I would like to order my first HARD COVER book and since I am not living in USA, my friend would bring the book back to Europe.
    But the only problem is that, she will be there only two days, so the book must be at the address, she will be living on 9th of February.
    When do I need to place the order? How long does it take to get the album?
    Thank you for your help.

    Can't say - no idea where it is going to or what will be going on them
    If it were me I'd say that the extra cost was a cheap insurance policy against external forces messing things up - but you make that decision
    Waiting three days to order and shipping ground rather than express will increase the chances of it not making it - probably still 95% + (guessing of course) that it will but every day you wait makes the chances less and not using the fastest shipping also increases the chances of failure
    If money is the issue then ordering today rather than Wed would be a good idea to me
    Good Luck

    I had a similar experience yesterday. The Apple email that I got said:
    "In five to seven business days, a credit of xx USD should be posted to the credit card that appears on the receipt for that purchase."
    Your email should have said the same.

  • How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are working on it?

    How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are even working on it? I'm not really sure if my application was even delivered - from the links in IBA. Any suggestions how one might push the right buttons at Apple?
    Also went around in a big circle trying to get beyond the confusion of not having the right Apple ID when I've had it a long time. Confusion abounds and learning this forum also takes a new degree of patience. Humbling to say the least :-)
    Anyone been there done that?

  • How long does it take to get a refund from Apple?

    I returned my MacBook on the 6th or 7th day of having it, and paid the re-stocking fee, 2 weeks ago. Yet I still have no refund. How long does it take to get my refund?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Well it shouldn't take 2 weeks.
    Call Apple to find out what the status is on your refund or you can go to the Apple store and find out what's going on in person.
    Just curious, but why did you return your MacBook?
    You should give in another try!

  • How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

    I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick.  Drag and drop should be how this works.  So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen).  It appeared to upload just fine.  So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone.  And no document.
    I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient?  Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices?  I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

    It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection.  I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site.  I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
    Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts.  iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

  • How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
    Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
    If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.
