Mirroring ipad on standard tv How to get 4:3 aspect ratio

I just purchased my APT and connected it via Mini HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Converter.
Everything works fine except mirroring from ipad to TV screen. it's squished and stretched vertically.
I know APT if made for HDTV's but we just can't afford one right now and I was wondering if anyone has any possible ideas, or suggestions as to how to get it to display correctly on the screen?
My tv is a sony trinitron kv-27s66 which doesn't have a lot of video control.
Tried changing to to widescreen but it didn't help.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks
Larry

As you already know this is an unsupported setup, since it is designed for a widesreen HDTV you will have issues with aspect ratio/resolution on a standard TV. The only possibility would be to see if there is anything in your TV's manual, within the limited settings,  that you can try. Note: you will be unable to view protected content and  functionality could cease at any time.

    I don't really understand your comment about "sing of tubes in RED which is wired". But if you are referring to the display of iTunes and the USB port that is an indication that you must restore your iPhone by connecting it to your computer via USB and then using iTunes on the computer to restore it.

  • How can I change the aspect ratio of an image display

    I am snapping a sequence of images and using imgPlot to diplay the images. However, due to my camera specifications [it's a Pulnix 9701 with Pixel Size 11.6μm (H) X 13.3μm (V)], the image I get displayed is elongated in the horizontal direction, i.e. if I snap an image of a square, I get a rectangle on my computer display.
    How can I change the aspect ratio of the display on my computer? The only parameters I have seen so far just control what portion of the image is acquired or diplayed, but none actually changes the aspect ratio.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    If you are using an analog camera, you can set the aspect ratio in MAX. This will correct for non-square pixels.
    If you are using a digital camera, I don't think there is a way to fix it during acquisition. You could resample the image to correct the ratios, but that would be a slow, time consuming process.
    One other possibility is that your computer monitor is in a mode which is not a standard 4x3 configuration. For example 640x480 and 800x600 are 4:3 ratios. 1200x1024 is not, which tends to distort your displayed images.

  • How can I change the aspect ratio

    I connected my new Apple TV 2 to an LCD projector (Epson 9300) using a Belkin HDMI-to-DVI cable. The projector supports a variety of resolutions, but the aspect ratio is fixed at 4:3. The picture is therefore stretched vertically. How can I change the aspect ratio on the Apple TV?

    How can I change the aspect ratio on the Apple TV?
    You can't. The TV device plays content at the encoded aspect ratio. It is up to your viewing device to alter the display aspect if it can. Your primary options are to use a different viewing device capable of multiple aspect ratios, scaling, and/or zoom effects or you could simply letterbox your content when you encode it.

  • How I can correct the aspect ratio?

    Hi, I hope you can help me.
    I want to resize a 1920x1080 to 1440x1080 video, how I can correct the aspect ratio of HD video without the black bars appear above and below?

    The original image is stretched horizontally and I want to fix this by resizing the video output to fill the full frame (4:3) without the lines that appear above and below, Premiere is not allowing me this.
    I can do it using video converters but the results do not convince me, do not make the 4 processor cores and cause loss of frames in the video.
    So I prefer to edit and convert directly into Premiere.
    (I used google translator to write this)

  • How do I change the aspect ratio of source video in the event library?

    I’ve imported video to iMovie 08 from a Canon Mini DV MD235 video camera. The video is recorded in widescreen format and plays back in widescreen when viewed from the iMovie event library (prior to doing any video editing). However, when I delete rejected frames from any particular video clip in the event library the video clip is automatically pillarboxed (i.e. switched from widescreen to 4:3 format). This squashes the video horizontally, stretches it vertically and leaves vertical black bars to the left and right of the video during playback. This automatic change in aspect ratio is occurring to the source video in the event library.
    I’d be grateful for any help / advice on how I can convert the edited clips back to widescreen aspect ratio, so they display in the *event library* as they did when first imported into iMovie.

    I don’t really want to clog up my hard drive with unwanted video and it’s easier to edit it from within iMovie.
    Have you considered manually importing only portions of the clips you actually plan to use? Or, if you must import the entire clip, have you considered trimming externally in an application like MPEG Streamclip which will allow you to set frame level in/out points and then perform a "Save As..." operation that stores the select range of frames to an MOV file container retaining the proper flag?
    Is there anything I can do from within iMovie to activate the 16:9 setting for these as yet unedited clips, so the same pillarboxing doesn’t happen?
    Not sure what you mean by "unedited" here. If the files have been destructively split, the flag is gone and there is nothing you can do about it but re-compress. If you mean they are imported but as of yet whole and still contain their flags, then you have two options. The first is to edit non-destrctively within iMovie '08 and the second would be to do the trimming externally.
    This second option is really fairly simple. Just close iMovie '08. Open MPEG Streamclip and load a clip you want to trim. Set your in and pout points, select the "Save As..." option, and store the files in the original Events folder with a new name. I would also recommend you perform these trims in their original time sequence so the "creation" date time groups (Finder attributes) are in time order also. When done with the loaded clip either delete it from the "Event" folder or move it to an archival location. When done with the last clip, close MPEG Streamclip, delete the Cache and Thumbnail folders from the Event folder, open iMovie '08 again, and go get a cup of coffee or tea while the files are re-thumbnailing. DO NOT DO THIS TO ANY EVENT WHICH CONTAINS FILES ALREADY USED IN ANY PROJECT. (I.e., this must be done before you start the actual project editing process.)
    It seems odd to me that iMovie is doing this.
    I suspect that as the application was originally written as an NLE, non-destructive, "by reference" application, the writers/updaters "overlooked" this facet when adding a "destructive" routine and did not provide for checks of this flag nor provide for copying it re-written segments.

  • How to crop without changing aspect ratio/Crop mode

    Is there a way to crop in Lightroom without changing the aspect ratio? That is my first question.
    My second question, is it better to use APS-C crop mode on my full frame Sony A7R if I know at the focal length I'm gonna crop, or just take it full frame and crop in the software? Are there disadvantages to this when it comes to uses flash's etch?
    Third, Currently I do not have a portrait lens as the Sony A7R is new and does not have many lenses out yet. Until the 90mm lens comes out I was thinking I could use the Zeiss 55mm 1.8 in Crop mode for a portrait lens. That would make it around 88mm would it compress the background nicely the way an 85mm lens normally does for portraits?

    This is what I usually do, now I know for sure my aspect ratio has been locked. As far as shooting in crop mode though, what I meant about that is this; For portraits, if you take a 55mm and shoot a portrait with it, the background doesn't look that compressed, which I like. Even if it's at a good F stop. It'll be out of focus, but not "compressed" And seems to show more flaws in the person. This is why with my Canon I always used my 85mm or my 100mm. I know some who will only use a 200mm due to this type of compression that happens at longer focal lengths.
    If I was to shoot in crop mode, making it 88mm, would it give me that affect? The compressed look I get from a 85mm? Or would it simply just crop it like I do in post and not really make a difference.
    Sony has yet to come out with a portrait lens and I need one bad, I've been offered little jobs here and there and can't take them because I don't want to disappoint them. I'm waiting for their 90mm, because that is close the 100mm and 85mm I shot with on the 5D for portraits.
    Not to same the subject here but,  'Benjamin Root Photography,' has been a great help to me on this forum. I also torn between getting the 16-35mm F/4, or the new 24mm F1.4 prime, for wide landscape shots, because landscape and hiking is where I do most of my photography.
    I don't plan on actually shooting a landscape at 1.4, but if it's 1.4 that means if I stop it down to F 8 on a landscape it'll be tact sharp. But it is not a Zeiss and is only going to cost 500. On the other hand, there is the 16-35mm, still I'd shoot around F 8 or even higher for landscape, the problem is, if it's F/4 won't that mean it'll have to stop down much further than the 24mm to get a sharper picture?
    I don't guess I can go telephoto, like anything over 100mm because I have the A7R. People say over 100 mm it has shutter vibration, so at 200 or 300 I wouldn't buy until the A7R ii comes out. I'm not willing to get the regular A7 ii because I really like the advantage of having all those megapixels for cropping purposes, and it just plain looks better. Which is why I took my Sony A7 back for the A7R. Everyone was saying the photo's were more impressive than the 5D Mark iii's with the Zeiss 55 1.8 vs 5D with 50 1.4L. That wasn't really the case with the A7, but when I got the A7R I seen a HUGE difference in dynamic range.
    I've heard the A7 is better at focusing than the A7R, but since I switched to the A7R I have noticed literally no difference. But I don't shoot fast moving subjects.
    With both cameras I notice the face detection and EYE AF is hard to get to work properly. If I let it auto focus fully It'll focus on the wrong thing a lot of times even though the green boxes say the right thing.
    So, I have been putting it on a single point, keeping it at the center, focusing on the eye, and then recomposing. That's mostly how I did with the 5D anyway. I never allowed it to choose focus points for me either.

  • How do I import custom aspect ratios (768x1024)?

    When I drag a 768x1024 clip to the timeline it says that the video properties of this clip are not recognized and it offers no option for real custom dimensions.  The strange thing is that when i scrub the clip in the area above the timeline, the staging area, it recognizes the aspect ratio as 768x1024 and the display shows the video perfectly.
    I've tried selecting 2k and cropping in Compressor but that did not work.  Any ideas on how i can get app to understand 768x1024? Or how I can use compressor to crop what it does understand (2k) down to the aspect ratio i need?

    Here's what I did on a PC.  Should work similarly on a Mac.
    Open Adobe Media Encoder CS6.
    Select your customer preset.
    From the "Preset" menu, select "Export", and choose somewhere to temporarily save the preset file.
    In AME CC, you then need to import these files.

  • IDVD gets 4:3 aspect ratio wrong

    I am using iDVD 7.1.2 with 10.9.5 on a macbook pro.
    I'm trying to make a 4:3 DVD (legacy material, it's 4:3 from old VHS tapes).
    I output a .mov file from Final Cut Express. The file plays correctly in Quicktime. I.e. I get the right (4:3) aspect ratio.  Quicktime inspector reports the movie format as DV/DVCPRO - NTSC 720x480 ( 853 x 480).
    I create a new DVD project, select 4:3 aspect ratio.
    I import the movie and it is squeezed horizontally. I.e. the aspect ratio is 3:3 (maybe not precisely, but darned close). Everything is tall and skinny.
    I tried changing the project to 16:9, hoping that would stretch things out, but all it did was add dark space on the sides of the video.
    I've tried various different output sizes (using quicktime conversion in FCE), to no avail. I always get a 3:3 aspect ratio in iDVD.
    I also burned to a disk image and played it with DVDplayer just to make sure that the preview in iDVD wasn't fooling me.  It's 3:3, also.
    Any ideas on what to do???????  I have a lot of old VHS to convert and would like to get a flow down pretty quick.

    OK, I played around with this long enough that I think I have it.
    The problem is actually the way I set up the sequence defaults in Final Cut Express (probably would work the same in FCP). I didn't realize I had the sequence set to "DV-NTSC anamorphic". It should have been set to "DV-NTSC".
    The result was that I imported a 4:3 .mov file into FCE, where it seemed OK, even in that sequence. However, FCE had inserted black space on the right and left of the 4:3 video, creating a 16:9 video with a 4:3 inside of it and the black bars surrounding the video.  When that was imported into iDVD, iDVD forced the whole thing to 4:3, which of course, forced the actual 4:3 video to 3:3.  Changing the sequence preset too NTSC solved that problem completely.
    One of the things that confused me was that two other DVD authoring programs handled this without obvious problems. Torch and Wondershare DVD converter both displayed the video at 4:3. Also, quicktime displayed it correctly.  There were the black bars on the side, but the aspect ratio of the actual picture was correct.
    I'm putting this here because I can imagine that some other beginner will confront this someday, and at least here is a record of the problem and the solution.

  • Everytime I open itunes the cover flow size returns to default. How Can I lock the aspect ratio?

    Whenever I shut down my computer and restart it, the aspect ratio of the images in itunes coverflow reset to their default size. How can I keep them where I set them.

    I have an issue somewhat like that, except it doesn't happen when I shut down or restart my computer. Mine resets each time I click the green resize button (using an iMac) to minimize iTunes to the mini player. Oddly enough, if I resize the cover flow, switch to a different view (ie. library without cover flow) and then hit the resize button to switch to mini player, upon maximizing iTunes again, I can switch back to the cover flow and it will have stayed the same size. Obviously I'm not going to go through that process each time I want to minimize iTunes to mini player, but when I simply minimize it when in cover flow view, as you mentioned in your post, it resets the aspect ratio each time. Clearly this isn't a massive issue as I'm still able to use all the other functions of iTunes perfectly fine, but I have to admit it is very annoying and has been persistent for the last few hours. Please if you've found a fix let me know, however I noticed you are using Windows 7 so we likely have two completely different issues.

  • How to keep the stage aspect ratio when stage width=100%?

    Hey,
    if I would like to make an animation that always fits into the browser window by fitting the width to 100% I'm having trouble keeping the aspect ratio of the stage's height. I can only configure 100% there which will stretch the content also to 100% of the browser window's height. If I configure a pixel value for the height, then I am also stuck on this value.
    All I want is the stage to adjust to the width of the browser window, and the height of the stage to preserve the aspect ratio depending on the width.

  • How can I change the aspect ratio in imovie 10.0.1

    After importing a movie in to the new updated version of iMovie which is 10.0.1 I noticed all the frames were elongated ( stretched out of proportion ), can some one tell me please how to keep the original ratio when importing or and how to change it after importing.
    I first thought that maybe it was just how iMovie iMovie shows this aspect only when editing and that when the move was finalised it would revert back to its original ratio with any changes that i made, Only after two and a half hours of finalising this was not the case and the movie plays back stretched.
    HELP!

    You can't.
    iM10 is 16:9 only.
