Lost in Space - 720 that is

640 x 480 = 720 x 480 OK... but what about that little black space at the left and right edge of all my DV footage? (GL-1)
Because of this "Lost space" I am forced to compress everything in Cleaner 6 because it offers "manual cropping", which throws all the "divide by 2" simpleness out the window (in the case of 320 x 240 for instance). My actual movie size may start out out at like 701 x 473 before re-sizing and crompressing to 320 x 240.
This has GOT to be screwing things up big time, and most probably the cause of my continually crappy looking compressed movies! ARRRGGHHH!!!
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Best regards
p.s.
Isn't there a way to grab all my clips in FCP and scale them all at the same time to something like 103%... wouldn't this solve all my troubles??

Just uncovered more info about the frame size difference when using a GL-1. Turns out that the GL-1 does indeed have about 5 to 7 pixels missing on each side! This is a big problem for web video. I cannot believe that I didn't realize this was a huge quality limiter until now. I thought everyone had to crop raw footage somewhat. I've never even heard it discussed before. Turns out all GL-1's have this underscan feature... OK for TV, not for computer video!
Well, the good news is that I just had the 3-CCD imager replaced by Canon for $400 due to a dead pixel... and now it is worth $1000... before the CCD replacement the camera was only worth about $150. Watch for it on ebay, it's clean, in perfect shape, and has the Canon Wide-angle acces. lens!

  • "Lost free space" on TC 500GB; Finder tells 148 GB, Terminal 250?

    Hello,
    i wonder about my TimeCapsule 500 GB. About 100 GB free space is lost in space.
    If I press CMD-I in the finder, my sparsebundles size is about 148 GB,
    if I look using the terminal i find 250 GB.
    If I check using the airport-utility, about 100 GB are missing.
    (Both, iMac and Macbook, use the same TC for Backup.)
    The given size for the macbooks sparsebundle seems ok, about 90 GB.
    How to repair, detect, fix? Is there a reorganisation-tool available?
    Thanks for any hints.

    Hi,
    Have you received any responses at all to this? It doesn't seem so.
    I have exactly the same problem with a 1TB TC and my wife's MB C2D. It had some problems backing up for a while (apparently due to all the wireless issues being reported on these discussion boards - and NOT due to DNSchanger, I've checked). After I managed to get it backed up again by plugging in direct and left backing up overnight, it is now reporting that the backup disk is "almost full". However, there's over 450GB of space left and my MacBook Pro, which also backs up to the same TC is not reporting any issues.
    If anyone knows what the solution might be, please let me know.
    Rgds,
    Guy

  • I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman)

    I lost the USB cable that came with my phone (wt19i Live With Walkman). However, the charging power adapter still here.
    I don't have any other cable.
    My phone's USB port use Micro-B connector.
    If I buy a high quality USB cable with Micro-B connector, will it be compatible for both charging and data transfer?
    Is it necessary to buy the original Sony Ericsson USB cable? If yes, which model should I buy?

    iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

Is there a way i can get them back as i did not want it to restore my old phone anyway! i also had my hone set up to the cloud and it didnt work! PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME

    Can you try to use another computer?
    If this does not work, visit an Apple Store or an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, and show them the phone, maybe they can restore it before you'll have to get it serviced.
    Did you try to put it in recovery mode?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Don't rush to reformat and reinstall just yet, grab a copy of Disc Inventory X and see if you can see the unwanted file(s) that's taking the space with that ?

  • Hi Everyone, i lost my KN presentation that i spent a day with my boss to finish it. I lost it by mistakenly shutting down my Macbook pro. Can anyone please tell me how to recover the files back as i'm really2 in trouble and my job depends on it...

    hmmm...how i hate myself for being such a careless person...
    PLEASE HELP ME...
    Thank you in advance.
    Keynotes '09
    Version 5.1.1 (1034)

    How exactly did you shut down your laptop? Not a hard restart (holding down the power button), I hope... if that's the case, then it is extremely unlikely the file is still intact on your computer. If it is, it would be an image on your RAM, and it is time-and-resource-intensive to recover it if it is even there. RAM memory is disposable and always being written over. Sorry dude...
    If it wasn't a hard restart, Keynote should have made a backup, unless you 'Force Close'd it.
    It really all depends on how your mac was shut down.

  • How do I get rid of the space game that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox?

    There is a space game that pops up every time I open the internet in Fire Fox. It does not do it in with Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. I have to click "control", "alt" "a" to get it to stop playing every time or it will continually send up little space like ships and make shooting noises (so annoying). I just want it off of there, so I don't have to mess with it. Can you please help me remove it.

    If this isn't on the built-in Firefox home page, it could be caused by an add-on. To rule out one of your extensions is involved, could you try Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

    Thanks stevejobsfan0123 for the reply, I know I have to buy a disk but when I searched for it on amazon I read many reviews about saying that either it is inadequate or that it's a scam. Do you know any website where I can get a legitimate disk of windows7?
