Purple Squares and Green background while previewing in Idvd

Video in Quick Time is fine, but when ( put it into iDVD the PREVIEW shows red/purple dots with green background over the video. How can I get rid of this 'glitch'?

Change your computers desktop background to a solid black. When you do this do you see the green and purple dots? I'm guessing the problem could be with your graphics card and not iDVD.

Hi .. While working in PS it is freezing for a moment and wild purples and greens make large pixel patterns behind the program on the desk top. Any ideas ? Thanks.

Hi .. A never before seen problem for me .. While working in PS with large files , the program freezes for a moment and bright pixels of flourescent colors of purple and green fill parts of the background screen behind Photoshop. Its getting worse ? The programs are running extremely slow also. Thanks for any ideas.

You can't and don't have a PowerMac (G5).
Repairing Permissions, likely just waste of time.
REPAIR the HARD DRIVE instead.

Camera video preview - Random crashes and green screens

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a Windows Phone 8.1 app and I need to preview video from the phone's back camera. For quite some time I've been struggling with random crashes and green screens. When these green screens appear, all camera apps become affected and
the device needs to be restarted. Occasionally the phone freezes and only recovers after battery removal. I test the app on my Lumia 620.
After some web search, I found references to the same problem by many users/developers of different apps. I'm really frustrated as I've tried many possible solutions with no avail.
Here is part of my code:
//in App.xaml.cs:
MediaCaptureInitializationSettings settings;
public static MediaCapture captureMgr;
public static bool UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
public async Task InitializeVideoCapture()
DeviceInformation backWebcam = await GetCameraDeviceInfoAsync(Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back);
if(captureMgr!=null) captureMgr.Dispose();
captureMgr = new MediaCapture();
settings = new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings();
settings.StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video;
settings.PhotoCaptureSource = PhotoCaptureSource.VideoPreview;
settings.AudioDeviceId = "";
if (backWebcam != null)
settings.VideoDeviceId = backWebcam.Id;
else
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Back panel camera not found");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
try
await captureMgr.InitializeAsync(settings);
captureMgr.SetPreviewRotation(VideoRotation.Clockwise90Degrees);
UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
catch
UnableToInitializeCamera = true;
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: camera could not be initialized");
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Unable to initialize camera");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
protected override async void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
//.... other app initialization code
await InitializeVideoCapture();
Window.Current.Activate();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
AppIsResuming = true;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5));//this makes crashes less frequent
await InitializeVideoCapture();
FinishedCameraInitialize = true;
if(WasPreviewingCamera)
WasPreviewingCamera = false; //the following line allows time for SetupPage._captureElement to be assigned before video preview starts while (!SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
try
Debug.WriteLine("trying to restart video preview");
await captureMgr.StartPreviewAsync();
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = true;
catch
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: unable to start previewing");
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
GC.Collect();
AppIsResuming = false;
private async void OnSuspending(object sender, SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
while (AppIsResuming) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));//prevents crash when app is suspended right after it is resumed
await CleanupCaptureResources();
TimeOfLastSuspend = DateTime.Now;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
public async Task CleanupCaptureResources()
if (SetupPage.PreviewingCamera)
await captureMgr.StopPreviewAsync();
WasPreviewingCamera = true;
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
else WasPreviewingCamera = false;
if (captureMgr != null) captureMgr.Dispose();
//in SetupPage.xaml.cs
void OnSuspending(object sender, Windows.ApplicationModel.SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
_captureElement.Source = null;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = true;
while (!App.FinishedCameraInitialize) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
App.FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
captureElement.Source = App.captureMgr;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = true;
GC.Collect();
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = false;
Any help towards a solution will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I will also advice that you start by following the
Windows Store app sample.
Is this a Windows Phone app?
The crash/green screen only manifests itself when I suspend my app and switch to the default camera app (could be any other camera app perhaps). It happens roughly 1 out of 8 times. That's why I posted the suspension and resuming handlers, which I wrote
according to the msdn instructions.
I found
this page with a sample that demonstrates the MediaCapture API for Windows Phone. Some developers have reported problems similar as mine. Has Microsoft dealt with this issue?
I've spent quite a few weeks trying to investigate this problem, without actually knowing if it is my code that needs to be debugged. That's why I'm asking if other developers are facing similar problems.
Thank you
Edit: It seems that the crash/green screen can appear when suspending/switching to any app (regardless if it uses the camera or not). Also, all works fine when the app is running on the debugger.

When I export a video in Premiere, the colors flash purple and green. Why?

I bought the software just recently but I have exported files before and they worked fine. I have a few speculations but I wanted to get an opinion. I dont know what to do if my speculations are right either.
1. I used a small digital camera so the format may be unsupported. It looks fine in the preview but when I set preview quality to maximum it flashes purple and green. I have, on the same timeline, a small logo animation I made using after effects and that part looks fine.
2. I used after effects to color correct the video segements and then exported them as .mov's. They look fine after they are exported. Maybe this is causing a problem though?
3. I noticed that I have been making the comps in after effects, 24 fps but when i looked at the settings in Premiere it says it is at 30 fps. But I didnt see another option there.
Are any of these the problem? Any advice or suggestions? What should I do to fix it/prevent it in the future?
Thank you!

Only get 1 frame or green background in RAM-Preview AE CS5.5

Hi All,
I've been working with AE for a few years now, and nothing like this has ever happened to me before:
I have a batch of quicktime videos (.mov)(stats are 1080 @24p) that play just fine outside of AE or Premiere. But when I stick them in and do a RAM-Preview, I get only the audio and 1 frame. If I scroll through the video I may get another frame or 2 if i'm lucky, or a dark green background. I have no idea what could possibly be doing this. And it happens in Premeire Pro CS 5.5 as well.
Stats for my mac are 4 gb of RAM and running OSX Mavricks

Codec is AAC, H.264, 2 Channel Audio, etc.
Opening up a file with VLC gives me 516 streams ( ! ) with
Stream 0 having Audio | MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) | Stereo | 48000 Hz
Stream(s) 1 - 516 having Video | H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10)(avc1) | 1920x1080 | Frame rate of 23.9744...
Some, however, have the (correct) decoding of Planer 4:2:0 YUV, as of which I believe this causes the Purp/Green colors & sometimes dropped frame.
Edit: (More Info)
Due note that the movies where recorded as AVCHD, then opened into Quicktime and then saved as a .MOV for greater flexibility with different programs.
Would it be worth it to try and find the .MTS files again, and use those?
Or, if they have gone missing, what would I do anyways?
Thanks.

Why is everything purple and green?

Suddenly my computer is showing a lot of color in purple and green. Pictures even print out this way. I've repaired permissions and rebooted several times. I know it happened once shortly after rebuilding this system but the monitor was set to 256 colors. It's set to millions now and same problem. What's really weird is that it is affecting the pictures and how they print. This means it's not a monitor problem and I don't see how it could possibly be a video card prob. Any answers. I'm wanting to update to 10.4.3 but don't want to compound the problem.
Brad

Well this is a curious issue you have here. The fact it affects how things print, suggests Colorsync may be picking up on the color calibration of the display in the printer settings. Since I'm not sure how Colorsync goes about colormatching, you might want to make the question in the printing forum:

Colour of the Background Picture and auto correction while typing

Hey
since 2,5 weeks i own an iPad. I really like it, there are only two things i dislike:
1. I changed the background Picture:http://kitecoach.co.uk/images/categories_desc/photos/big/originals/kitesurf5med. jpeg
I like the bright colours. But at the lower end, the sand becomes much darker when used as background while the colours of the sky and the kites are normal. It's really annoying, why do the colours at the lower end of the picture change and how to stop it?
2. Is there a possibility to turn off the auto correction?
Thanks for the answers

That is done with every picture on the home screen, there is no way to stop the iPad doing that… you can work around with a graphics tool - select the lower portion and make it brighter. And scale it down… the size on the web is 4288 × 2848, the iPad has 1024 x 768…

Hi kshieh
You can try two possible steps:-
1]Triple click the home button. You should get an accessibility menu.deselect the negative/black and white option.
2]Go to settings->General->accessibility->and deselect invert colours.
That should fix it

Vertical Purple and Green lines on start up!

Hi,
I was using Logic X (10.1) and all of a sudden my screen went totally grey and I could here a constant click on my headphones.
After about a minute my Mac restarted itself and on the startup screen displayed thick vertical purple and green lines.
Once it had finished loading up it then went on to a blank white screen and then stayed on this blank white.
I shut down my Mac the restarted it three times and have encountered the same problem every time.
Any help or advice as to what may have caused this and or how it could be fixed?
Thanks in advance.

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Effects not automatically rendered in background while working on other things in v6.03?

Hi all,
I am relatively new to PP CS6, so pardon me if this has been asked before. I've searched thoroughly on the net - there are similar questions, but not identical ones.
i'm using a pretty powerful rig to edit my videos and here are the specs :
i5 2500k
16gb ram, allocated 14gb to PP, set to performance mode
gtx 560ti with 1gb vram, set to MPE mode from the hack
video source : iPhone, Galaxy Note 1080p, Canon 550D DSLR 720p videos
[img]http://i.imgur.com/aeERL.png[/img]
As seen in the image above, there's a small 'red' unrendered area in the sequence. I have added the warp stabilizer effect to a few of the clips, and most of them turned yellow after awhile, which means i can playback the seq smoothly without choppiness.
However, at times, I'm not sure why these effects, even AFTER being rendered, still shows as RED and would be extremely choppy when i play it. CPU usage rams up when i first add it and it does the processing. As of now, it is idling and does not finish rendering the RED areas. is it supposed to be normal?
I have to hit render entire work area for it to finish rendering all areas (which means I cannot do other stuff in the meantime!), and rendering takes EXTREMELY long. for instance, a 2 minute iphone clip takes around 40minutes to render ( minimal effects ).
i thought the MPE might be a problem, so i tried disabling it and ran on software. turns out it's even slower than usual.
any idea what i can do to make my CPU work full force in the background to render those RED areas while i'm editing other parts of the clip?
Thanks!
