PE8 in Windows7: cropping a still picture does not encode to dvd properly

Within PE8, the cropping top, bottom, left and right appear to be correct but when encoded to dvd, the image is either hashed on one side or not cropped at all. I have other pictures within the same project that are cropped and encode correctly. It appears that there are limits of cropping, i.e., if you crop more than 14% on a side ... the only way I could get around this is to crop the picture externally in photoshop and use this copy in the project without using the cropping feature in PE8. Any thoughts on what the problem could be??
I have a Intel i7-860 cpu with 8g ram; evga gt200 graphics card and lots of internal drive space.

Thank you to Bill Hunt and Steve Grisetti for your replies.
I am using the Project Setting of HDV-720p (1280x720).
My default on the "Scale to Frame Size" is un-checked.
The two pictures in question that are 3700x2800 pixels & 4890x3400 pixels respectfully.
So both pictures used Property>Motion>Scale of 24% & 18%. They also use the Video>Effect>Crop with the Top of 22% or Bottom of 24%.
As a test, I created two separate projects:
     . project setting of HDV-720p (1280x720)
     . project setting of STD (720x480)
Each project used the same two pictures in the following scenarios:
     . picture #1 & #2 with the "scale to frame size = unchecked as well the pictures with the "scale to frame size" = checked
     . for the clips with scale to frame size = unchecked, the Property>Motion>Scale were reduced to 24% & 18%
     . for the clips with scale to frame size = checked, the Property>Motion> Scale were increased to 110%
Prior to creation of DVD output to folder all pictures in PE8 look properly scaled and cropped.
The results of the tests:
     . project setting of HDV-720p generated picture #1 with "scale to frame size" = unchecked as if no cropping was applied; picture #1 with the "scale to frame size" = checked was correctly cropped. Picture #2 with both unchecked & checked options generated okay.
     . project setting of STD (720x480) generated all pictures cropped correctly.
So, looks like the cropping effect works okay for STD but may have problems with the HDV setting when using "scale to frame size" = unchecked.
Most of my pictures are in the 3500x2600 pixel range so I will take your advice and use the "scale to frame size" = checked for the bulk of my project and use the "unchecked" option for only those that I want to pan or zoom. Also I will consider doing more intensive cropping externally (like in Photoshop) before importing into PE8.

DVD drive does not play some DVDs properly

Hi,
My Macbook was purchased in 2007; So it is a bit old. I haven't used the DVD drive very often.
I bought two new DVDs from Amazon recently. However, when I played them in my Macbook using DVD Player, the disk pauses and skips very often, making it impossible to watch the DVD. In addition, the Player would display the "Skip over damaged data" warning.
I thought it was a problem with the software (DVD Player); so I installed the VLC player. Problems occurred as well. Disk would pause and then simply stop (the screen closes).
I thought that perhaps it was the problem with the Amazon DVD disk. So I played some other DVDs in my Macbook, with both DVD Player and VLC Player. There was NO problem at all with the other DVDs.
Then my conclusion was that the Amazon DVD was faulty. I requested a replacement, which they sent to me promptly within a day.
However, the same problem occured. The replacement DVD would not play properly in either DVD Player or VLC Player in my Macbook. It would pause and skip very frequenntly.
Now I began to suspect that maybe the Optical Drive was faulty. So I brought the DVD to my school and tried to play it in two computers: one PC (with VLC); the other Mac (DVD Player). To my surprise, the DVD played flawlessly in those two computers.
Now my conclusion is that the optical drive of my Macbook is faulty.
However, after doing some preliminary research on the internet, I find that replacing the internal optical drive is a difficult process. The alternative seems to be buying an external drive. But there seems to be concern about booting the computer (when the need arises) from an external optical drive.
Questions:
1. Is my conclusion justified? (That I have a faulty optical DVD drive)
2. If the optical drive is faulty, then why do some DVDs play with no problem in my Macbook?
3. Would you recommend replacing the internal drive or puchasing an external optical drive? What are the advantages and disadvantages to both?
Thanks a lot!

Thanks again. I went ahead and deleted the DVD Player folder and the plist file.
The result is that it appeared to temporarily improve the playback of the DVD. For the first two hours, the DVD paused considerably less and each pause was of a relatively short duration. There was much less skipping. So the playback was almost tolerable, if I lower my standards.
However, after two hours, it reverted to its old ways. The pauses and skipping became so frequent and long (as before) to make the DVD simply unwatchable.
I don't know what to make of this.

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

Satellite C855D-S5106 - when lid is closed/reopened, backlight resumes, picture does not.

Win. 7 Ult. 64-bit, Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5106, all BIOS and display drivers updated... Things to note: This NOT an issue with sleep or hibernation, or waking up from such states, as it wakes up just fine. It is also not a BIOS or drivers issue. I have it set in Power Settings that closing the lid does nothing. Yet whenever I open the lid after it has been closed, the backlight comes back on, but the picture does not. To get the picture to return, I either have to put the laptop to sleep and then wake it back up again, or, more convieniently, by using a program called Hotkeycontrol to set a custom hotkey to turn the the display on and off, and this works every time. I had this problem a couple years ago (a recent Windows repair "corrected" this solution), and I vaguely remember the solution being to change something display or policy-related, like, change it so that the lid closing action action looks for a trigger related to volume or a sound device, to act as an inactive placeholder of sorts, instead of what it really tries to do, which causes the problem in the first place, as weird as that seems. Unfortunately, that's about all I can remember, as it's been so long since I had to do it. All the Googling I do just brings me to posts about changing power settings again, or updating various BIOS and display drivers (when it's not bringing me to questions about waking up from sleep or hibernation, that is), which I've already done, and I know not to be the solution in this instance. I'm trying to remember where I went to make the changes, but I'm blanking out completely, sadly. Here is a minute-long video of exactly what is happening to me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alhg_zbmKZ4 If any of this sounds or looks at all (even remotely) familiar, the help would be very much appreciated.

This model shipped with Windows 8 and support.toshiba.com seems to have very limited Windows 7 driver support (e.g. no chipset drivers, display drivers, or power utilities.)

.wbmp pictures does not show up, why ?

Hello,
Problem:
I have created a Java servlet which produces a WML card with text and an command to load .wbmp picture (see code below). I have tested the WML card without servlet (loaded it straight from hard disk), and it works fine. The problem occurs when I try to use Tomcat 3.2.2 in my PC, run the servlet and load it with Nokia WAP toolkit 2.0. I managed to load the servlet and the text parts of the servlet are showing correctly, but the picture does not appear. Only the alt text.
I have configured Tomcat�s web.xml file as follows:
<mime-mapping>
 <extension>wml</extension>
 <mime-type>text/vnd.wap.wml</mime-type>
 </mime-mapping>
 <mime-mapping>
 <extension>wbmp</extension>
 <mime-type>image/vnd.wap.wbmp</mime-type>
 </mime-mapping>
I have also tried to load pure WML code included in the servlet through Tomcat, text appears picture does not.
Same error occurs when I am using Nokia WAP server 1.1 instead of Tomcat.
This is probably some very simple error, but I can not see it myself. So any ideas,
Thanks in advance,
-TL
The servlet I am using:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException, ServletException
 response.setContentType("text/vnd.wap.wml");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>");
 out.print("<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC \"-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML ");
 out.println("1.1//EN\"");
 out.println("\"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml\">");
 out.println("<wml>\n<card id=\"card1\" title=\"Servletti\">");
 out.println("");
 out.println("Testi servlet with picture");
 out.println("<img src=\"http://localhost/sunny.wbmp\" alt=\"fig\" hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" />");
 out.println("");
 out.println("</card>");
 out.println("</wml>");
 out.close();

If You mean Nokia Toolkit with "Nokia simulator" then the answer is that Tomcat was up and running. With Nokia WAPserver I did not use Tomcat.
The mime error is probably caused by insufficient definitions in Your Tomcat web.xml file. You can copy the there the part of web.xml file I have used:
 <mime-mapping>
 <extension>wml</extension>
 <mime-type>text/vnd.wap.wml</mime-type>
 </mime-mapping>
 <mime-mapping>
 <extension>wbmp</extension>
 <mime-type>image/vnd.wap.wbmp</mime- type>
 </mime-mapping>
Then You must set Your Toolkit to use HTTP server Connection: Toolkit -> Device settings
Hope this helps,

Trying to create itues account for children's school ipad and says does not meet min age. Tried to go back and fix bday as was put in incorrectly and still says "does not meet min age". How do I fix this?

I'm trying to create a new apple account for my daughter's school ipad. She put in her bday incorrectly and said "does not meet age requirements". We went back and put in her correct date (over 13) and still says "does not meet age requirement". How do I fix this??

The old rule of thumb was to keep 10-12 GB free. Any lower than that and you will start to have trouble. I was very close to that for a long time and never had any complaints. Now, Lion "encourages" 20% free space (on my newer 250 GB drive) so I try to keep it with more than 50 GB free.
Do you still have the original memory in that machine too? The metal plate you have to remove in the battery compartment also provides access to the RAM. Your machine will take 2 GB of RAM, possibly 3. You definitely want to max that out too.
Regardless, you definitely need a new hard drive. When Apple switched to PC components, they had to take a quality hit. These 2.5" notebook hard drives are not very reliable. I'm surprised your hard drive hasn't died by now. I usually get a new hard drive with every major OS upgrade. A $ 50 investment every couple of years is no big deal.
Unfortunately, you (and I) suffer from being an early adopter in 2006. Those 32-bit machines only accept 2 GB RAM (maybe 3) and are only 32-bit so they can't be upgraded to Lion. Because of this limitation, you won't see as dramatic an improvement as you would with a 2007 machine. If you run more than a couple of applications, your hard drive is always going to have to be doing some VM work. My 2006 machine has even lost its bluetooth. I gave it to my brother. My very similar 2007 Macbook is still running great.
So, you must get a new hard drive because your old one is likely on death's door. If you don't have at least 2 GB - get it. If you can't afford a new machine, you might want to consider an SSD. That might help mitigate your RAM limitations. You can spend from $ 100 to $ 350 and get a dramatic speed improvement.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

If the DPI(dots per inch) is under 100, the printer will not print the picture because it would be too low in quality. Pull the picture up on the computer, right click on it and click on properties, Check out the horizontal and vertical DPI and see if both of those numbers are least 100. Have you tried to connect the iPhone to the same network as the printer and try to AirPrint the pic? The AirPrint route does not have the same DPI requirements as the ePrint .
