PE4 - YouTube's new 16:9 widescreen and HD quality

Hello Adobe Forums. I have a question. If you haven't noticed already, Youtube has made the video boxes wider. Some videos have vertical black bars on the left and right. If you were to upload your video with the right qualifications, you can fill those bars in to make it look like a real widescreen. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that correctly. I've tried doin it, but I seem to fail everytime. I know I'm doin somethin wrong. This is what YouTube recommends now:
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=132460&topic=16621
(Note: They made a minor typo in the beginning saying "1290 x 720" It should say "1280 x 720")
If anyone can explain to me how to exactly do this correctly, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Actually, please excuse this. I know how to do it now. I apologize for not trying to look more into it. I did it by changing the project settings. It was the first time I really played with it. When I make a new project, I never pay much attention to the "Change, but now I know of its use.

Video export via component not widescreen and bad quality

I have a dvd ripped to a .mov file. Chose to keep maximum quality and resolution. Its over 6gb. Its widescreen/letterbox/16:9.
When i connect to my 42" hi def tv via component cable, the full widescreen is not shown, it zooms in and cuts off the sides. I have tried widescreen on/off on the phone, and the tv's aspect settings, but nothing works.
Anyone know why this is?
Also the quality is really bad.
Its the same if using airplay so suspect its the phone.
I am quite disappointed by this, i thought it would show the video as it is on the .mov file on the computer. Itunes plays it fine.
Would the ipad do the same as the phone, or output video properly as it's supposed to be?
Thanks

I found the issue but dont know how to fix it... I have 4 mp4 files of the high quality and widescreen format. I imported them into iMovie so I can export as one big file. When adding them to the project iMovie just reduces the clips quality and does not show them at widescreen and crops the left/right sides off so it can fit in the iMovie window. There is nothing in the movie properties to fix this.

New adobe DNG converter and CS4 quality problems - EOS 7D

Hi,
A friend of mine uses Adobe Photoshop CS2.
He plans to buy Canon EOS 7D or EOS 5D Mark II in the future but first we did some tests and conversions.
We found many problems and quality issues.
First Problem is that CS2 doesn't support Canon EOS 7D directly so user has to use DNG Converter to convert the EOS 7D file from .cr2 to a .dng.
When i use and test this, CS2 recognizes and opens .dng file correctly then i optimize sharpness, color etc etc in the photoshop and save the file from the file menu (Save AS) as .jpg file.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 fails to save exif data.
It just saves the camera model nothing else.
On the other hand if i use CS4 it saves all exif data (without dng):
The next problem is quality.
If i use indentical settings in RAW converted between CS2 (dng) and CS4 (cr2) CS2 images look sharper and have more "per pixel sharpness" than CS4 raw images.
Here's a sample (raw file taken from dpreview.com) that i tested it using both raw converters:
So these are two problems that i don't like nor does my friend and i am asking you if you would fix that and why such hudge difference ?
As the CS4 is being the newest the best of all photoshop it should had better picture but in this case the older version has better picture and i don't see any logic in that.
So if user wants to go for better quality he/she will pick CS2 but have a disadvantage - Exif is not saved in the .jpg file.
I also think that if dpreview would have used CS2 instead of CS4 they would get much higher "per pixel sharpness" from Canon EOS 7D as they did now.
Thanks.

You can't use the exact same settings since the settings in ACR 3.x (Photoshop CS2) don't match up to ACR 5.x (Photoshop CS4).
Seriously, there was a major change in ACR 4 and then 5 that make comparing ACR 3.x and 5.x pretty pointless...
Fact is if you aren't getting optimal results from Camera Raw 5.x then you don't know how to use it...simple as that.
ACR 3.x had a very crude image sharpening process compared to either ACR 4.1 and above of any 5.x version.
Seriously, Photoshop CS2 and Camera Raw 3.x is way old tech...if you can't get better IQ from 5.x you are doing something wrong.

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted"

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted". Even when I do accept the risks the site no longer looks the way it's looked for years. Twitter doesn't even give me the option to accept the risks at all and shows this error (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried resetting Firefox, I've checked the time and date, and I've removed and added Firefox to see if that would work. Nothing seems to be working so I can see the sites the way they normally would be instead of "coded". Can anybody help me please?!!! Thanks

How to use cam on sites and watch youtube with new OS X Lion?

I downloded the new OS X Lion, and everything is great with it,besides the fact that my cam wont work on sites like Dailybooth or stickam. And i cant watch Youtube videos becuase it tells me that i have to downlad adobe flash and i did but that still didnt work.

I don't know about the Flash, but your camera, which appears to be USB and therefor requires drivers, probably does not have drivers compatible with Lion, or you have to download them.

On i pod touch the orientation does not change when I turn it on it's side when using safari etc. When viewing youtube it only displays widescreen and will not display portrait , anyone any ideas? is this a fault or do all ipod touch do this?

The user guide says:
Movies viewed in Videos and YouTube appear only in landscape orientation. Street views in Maps
also appear only in landscape orientation.
Do you have the scree orientation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow icon with a padlock inside next to the battery charge icon in the upper right.

New 16:9 movie and how to export it

Hy
I have to create a new movie for widescreens 16:9 format, and even If I tryed several times I don't have any success. So please advice me what I'm doing wrong
When I'm creating a new project I'm setting a new preset with these settings:
Editing Mode : DV NTSC
Timebase : 29.97 frames/seccond
Video : Frame size 720x480 ( I'm not able to chenge these settings
Pixel aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widescreen 16:9(1.2)
Display Format : 30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Now for the export I need a movie that can be played on a DivX Player that can support mpeg format or even an avi format.
First I tryed directly from Export -> Movie but the file is too larger and is not suported by the DVD players
Seccond I tryed to export it using Adobe Encode but the only suported format are FLV Quick Time, RealMedia and Windows Media. As far as I know the DVD player is not suporting these formats.
What are your suggestions ?

Ok I understand, but anyway, during the development, I diddn't solved the problem with the real 16:9 format.
Because when I'm creating a new project I'm setting Widescreen 16:9 but I can't change the dimmnesions from 720x480 to 852x480. How can I do that ?
Also the exported file is 14:9

Yahoo......got my new iMovie 11 today and it support 1080p

Yahoo......got my new iMovie 11 today and it support 1080p export
ok Apple...where the blu-ray 1080p burner...please....

This is a great comment. 1080P seems to be pretty much the standard now on HD TV sets so it was great to see iMovie finally supporting 1080P. The question now is how to actually get that 1080P resolution on your TV set. You can't burn it onto a DVD of course. You could upload the 1080P video to Youtube but again, how do you view it on your TV? I have an (old) Apple TV and that can connect to Youtube but it won't support 1080P, only 720P.
Supposedly, an XBOX 360, which I also have, will play video in 1080P. Microsoft has their own issues and even though my XBOX has a 250GB hard drive, there is no way to get any home video footage onto that hard drive. Microsoft doesn't support that.
Thoughts anyone?

New LG204TW 20" widescreen monitor shows black lines ??

Yesterday I picked up the new LG L204TW widescreen monitor for my Intel Mac Mini.
The display is detected by OSX and I can run the native resolution of 1680x1050 @ 60Hz. via DVI.
But there is a sort of flickering of the screen. Actually there are black horizontal lines showing up. This happens mostly when browsing.
When I open for example a Quitime window and move the window of the playing video over the black lines, the lines are gone. So I think it is not the display itself.
Changing the resolution does not help. Any idea how this can be solved?
Regards,
Armand

Hook up another monitor that you have and see if it is your mac, if it isn't your mac then take the LG screen back to the shop, ask for full refund and consider another monitor.

Goodbye Flash: YouTube mobile goes HTML5 on iPhone and Android

Greetings, Im looking for a better understanding to what this Flash war is about. and I would likreto hear from the Adobe side of designer.
Goodbye Flash: YouTube mobile goes HTML5 on iPhone and Android
How true is this, and what will become of designing Flash websites?
I finaly was able to upgrade to an entire Suite of Adobe products including Flash with the intention of doing some Flash work, but now the client is not wanting ANY flash work because it wont work on a phone!
What about all the Flash website alredy up and running? Will new sites have to be created just for the F*ing iphone?
Watching Avatar on the back of a airline seats to cracker sized phone screens. seriously, what is the point.

Marek,
Welcome to the forum.
Do you happen to have the usable specs. for these devices? I would assume that the manual, or maybe a product Web site would have such. That will help us determine the best settings to use.
Good luck,

Have you read my reply to your other thread : https://discussions.apple.com/message/18373620#18373620 ?
For Facebook try one of the facebook apps e.g. the 'official' Facebook app
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad.

Play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express?

Can I play music or youtube music! from my iPhone and iPad on my Sonos through Apple AirPort Express.
I believe I can, although it is not totally clear how to do so.
Can I use an old Apple AirPort Express (1st generation) or do only the newer versions of the Apple AirPort Express do the trick ?

Yesterday, as today's deadline for filing tax returns approached, I was paralyzed by the inability to create new IRS PDF forms and to retrieve archived ones from a year ago. My computer went crazy. 24 hours later, I am still paralyzed. Can you help?

My computer went crazy yesterday on two occasions involving PDF documents. One dealt with attachments to an email from a bona fide corporation. The other dealt with IRS PDF forms & schedules needed for today's submission.
As both dealt with PDF and had nothing else in common, I suspected my PC had a virus. When I asked a local store technician, he agreed. I turned to Norton, which protects my PC from viruses, and after a few hours of really thorough searching, the computer was found to have no viruses.
Before describing what I call "crazy" computer behavior, you need to know that I have long had IE8 as my default browser but a few weeks ago switched to Mozilla Firefox because IE8 had beome incompatible with some websites from which I get information.
When I received the email from AT&T email service and clicked the first of four icons representing attachments, there was figuratively an explosion on my monitor: a series of new tabs, each called New Tab, burst onto the monitor--but no text or picture. The new tabs appeared faster than I coul kill them. I finally decided just to shut down the computer, hoping they would not reappear when I restarted. I was wrong. After 2 repeats, I decided to forget about the attachments and asked the sender to send them to me by regular mail.
That was no solution for my IRS PDFs. I wanted to complete filling in the various forms and schedules that I had begun months ago so that I could mail them today to the IRS (without having to copy them all in ink). When I tried to open the first one, BOOM. The same thing happened: the blizzard of New Tabs atop blank pages; my IRS form or schedule did not show up. Did the same shutdown/restart routine with the same results.
When I looked at the list of current forms that had to be completed, I noticed something very strange: the icons that began the listing of the documents' names were replaced one by one by Mozilla icons. When I moused over them, they said Firefox HTML. Why?
Starting the day today, I had the same experience. What's more, when I started to retrieve 2012 IRS PDFs from a year ago, the same New Tab tabs appeared and had to be killed, and Mozilla icons replaced whatever icon was there before.
Assuming that the problem arose with Adobe Reader's reading of the PDFs, I contacted Adobe but got no helpful phone number because PDFs are a free service and was directed to use this Forum to get help.
What do I have to do to (a) read and use PDFs in the normal way and (b) remove the Mozilla icon from those that have appeared on icon documents. If Mozilla is the source of the problem, shall I go back to IE8? (In my 80s, I want eventually to replace my old computer but for the time being I must continue using it. It will not take an IE9. Anther possible default browser would be Google Chrome, but I have unfavorable impressions of it because of its intrusiveness, loading my PC with stuff I do not need.
Can you help?

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

IPad2 and a new MacBook running Lion, Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my Hotmail Id for my Apple Id and use it for iTunes, iCloud

I have an iPad2 and a new MacBook running Mountain Lion. Both Devices use the same Apple ID which is a Hotmail eMail id. Can I create a new iCloud eMail Id and use iCloud eMail and continue to use my current Hotmail Id for my Apple Id for iTunes, iCloud.
Note, I will use both Hotmail and iCloud eMail.

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

HT201250 I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was?

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.
