Resolution and cropping problems

Good Morning to all,
I am a babe in the woods with this video stuff. In past years used iMovie & iDVD with SD with no problems. Now we have a Canon HFS 10 ACVHD camera and no end of problems. Bought FCE 4 and Toast with Blu-Ray plug in and even took a 6 hour class on FCE.
Work in HD with a MacBook Pro and SD on a 2x3 Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xenon with 7 G RAM with a NVIDIA 7300 GT video card running on 10.4.11.
With HD, I get great results exporting from iMovie to iDVD EXCEPT that every frame in the entire sequence is cropped even though it is in 16:9. The ratio is OK as it is wide screen but it is cropping about 10-15%.
I have exported in several formats to FCE then go from there (also in various formats) to Toast with worse results. Resolution is horrible and when burned in the Blu-Ray plugin is not readable in a DVD player - Non Supported Format! When I go to the DVD portion of Toast, it is set up for TiVo 4:3 and cannot find a way to change out of that to something normal that will produce something equal in resolution to SD but in 16:9.
If I upgrade the OS in the 3Ghz machine will I also have to upgrade the video card to a NVIDIA 9300 or something else to work in HD? (saw that on another post someplace in the recent past).
Thanks for reading,
Wes

The OP indicated that my Macbook Pro was a 1.67. I have upgraded to a 2.96 with OSX 10.5.8

Enabling Firewall breaks Bonjour name resolution (and other problems)

Hi there, I thought I had a simple setup but trying to enable VPN & Firewall has shown me there are some issues I need help with:
Setup: MacOS X Server 10.5.8 on MacPro
- Machine is Mobile Account Server for 5 other machines connected to network
- DHCP is obtained from Router in 10.1.10.x range. Server hardcodes its IP in that range (outside of DHCP addressable range)
- Services running are: AFP, Open Directory, SMB, Software Update
- All client workstations connect to server using "servername.local"
This has all been working fine. However over the weekend I tried enabling VPN as we have a public IP address we can use. VPN works fine except:
a) Plugging an additional ethernet cable into port 2, and configuring that port to have the external "public" IP information caused the "license in use issue" that has been reported here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9958588&tstart=0) so I had to use the solution of duplicating the existing ethernet config and entering the additional external IP to run both off the same port.
b) I can't get L2TP working, but I can get P2PP. Seems like other people are having similar issues (http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=9704644)
But anyway, so I have P2PP VPN working and without a firewall previous functionality hasn't been impacted. Now of course, I'd be silly to leave this machine with the Firewall turned off as it is now a sitting duck out on the inter-tubes.
I thus enabled the Firewall service with these settings:
- Any service: Allow only traffic from "any" to these ports: (I enabled the ports for P2PP and L2TP)
- 10-net: Allow all traffic from "10-net"
This I assume would restrict access from the external interface, but let all internal subnet communication be unrestricted (like it was before I enabled the firewall). However this doesn't seem to be the case. I noticed that simple non-VPN connections to AFP service took a long time to happen using "afp://servername.local", several minutes before the authentication dialog appeared.
Furthermore if I brought up "Software Update" on a managed client set to pull from "servername.local:8088", the connection would fail.
If I disabled the firewall service, the slowdown and local Software Update would work fine.
But if I try setting: "Allow all traffic from 'any'" on the Firewall (which should be almost like turning it of) it doesn't have a positive effect and slowdown of name resolution and failure to connect to local software update still occurred.
Is there something in the Firewall being enabled that breaks Bonjour name resolution? Anyway to enable the Firewall and still keep Bonjour .local name resolution? Does this problem have anything to do with issue (a) we have to work-around?
Thanks for any recommendations,
Matt

Fuji X-Trans Sensor - Fuji X-E1 Chroma Smearing and Crop Problems with Lightroom 4.4RC

Like others, I found that Lightroom 4.3 caused chroma smearing on my Fuji X-E1 files. I compared 90 shots I did today processed with Fuji SilkyPix RAW converted and LR 4.4RC. It appeared to me that the chroma smearing problem is solved. I did not see the chroma smearing, even at 3:1 zoom. The .tiff files from SilkyPix and the .dng files from LR, appeared practically identical which was not the case with LR 4.3.
There was some discussion of purple fringing with the X-E1 and the Fuji 18-55 on this forum. I did not see this in my backlit shots today. I believe that the problem can be greatly reduced or eliminated by avoiding over exposure in the camera. I have found when faced with very bright skies and darker foregrounds that I get better results by metering the sky, and then over exposing only 1 to 1-1/2 stops. If I cannot do this, I get good results by properly exposing the subject. If both the sky and the subject are over exposed, the fringing appears around the subject.
I was also happy to see that my files are no longer coming into Lightroom cropped.
It looks like I will be able to use Lightroom for my Fuji files with the 4.4RC.

The results of my experiments are different than what is being said, here, and different than I expected.
My DNG Conversion options are as listed, above, and did not include setting Custom with Linear as a conversion option, but merely setting ACR 6.6+ as the compatibility. If there is some way to set Linear along with ACR 6.6 compatibility I’d like to know how.
My guess would be that either Adobe is making a linear DNG in this specialized case of X-Trans, to make things compatible with older ACRs that have no idea how to decode X-Trans--which is the promise of converting to DNG, OR Adobe is modifying the X-Trans data to have it be more like normal Bayer layout of still one-color-per-pixel so not demosaicking, exactly, just re-mosaicking.
Anyone can repeat my experiments:

The Mystery of the Duplicating Photos with Varying resolutions and Sizes by Sony Z1 Compact

about the duplicating photos with varying resolutions and Sizes problem... I have a band-aid fix to this without deleting everything in your phone. What you do is to find time to actually MANUALLY DELETE the extra photos. Don't delete it by Taping on the Album app and deleting everything on the home photos.
Instead tap the album then on the UPPER LEFT CORNER (If you've updated the albums) tap the 3 bars beside the album icon to access the album menu, then tap the FOLDERS choice.
You should see alot of folders with Thumbnails named with numbers and different resolutions. Delete all the folders labeled as Thumbnails or cache. *note that you cannot delete whole folders but the folder gets deleted automatically after all the contents inside it is deleted
Afterwards, go to your phone's settings->App-> Album
Then tap the Clear Data button
After that restart your phone.
This actually "fixes" the problem for a while but usually after a few restarts or Phone charge the folders comeback and you have to redo the whole process again. But the folders that are made becomes fewer than the 1st occurrence of this problem and deleting the photos shouldn't take as long as the 1st.
Honestly i think this is definitely an Application bug and should be fixed by Sony, since you know its their built in app for Multimedia

yea that also helps since it's a bug caused by the new update. I'm just waiting for Sony to fix the bug, i don't really mind deleting the thumbnails

How do I fix problem with linked and cropped image frames not printing properly when spanning pages?

We are using InDesign (ID) to develop and print church bulletins which contain a combination of text frames and graphics. One of the graphic types we use are TIF files which are high-resolution scans of hymns.
A hymn usually has a combination of the musical score, plus the lyrics - with many verses., so the modular structure is 'staff' composed of a treble clef, followed by verses, followed by a base clef.
If the example above had 6 verses instead of one, we would crop the image by adjusting the frame, so that the treble clef and the desired verses showed through the frame.
We would then copy and link the frame - piggy back - adjusting the next content window etc....so we build a custom version of the music as a series of linked frames - each with the same base image, but a different frame position.
So this works fine, when we do this on a single page, but when we then add a 'last staff' at the top of the following page, we encounter print problems with some output devices.
Imagine a two-page spread, with a full page of music on the left, and the last staff (treble clef, verses, base clef) unit as a separately linked frame at the top of the right page of the spread.
It displays correctly, and will print individually as pages correctly, but when we print it as a booklet, the last frame drops out and we have blank space.
I can print the document to PDF and it works fine, but if I print it to a copier or laser printer I get drop out.
It is inconsistent.
Previews are always okay. Individual page prints are okay, but when you print the entire document, the last frame in this kind of linked series gets blanked.
If we create and name the image differently, and call it in as a new image - (not linked to the previous), but it is still a large image that is cropped to a small piece, then it doesn't print.
If we save the last frame as a different image type (take the TIFF file into photoshop, crop it and save it as a jpg - so it is only the 'snippet') and then import it, it works fine.
So my question to you InDesigners....is there some setting or tip or trick I need to know to be able to link a series of frames with the same base image, but different crops and make it span across two pages properly.
Or do we need to play this game of crop and trim the image so that it doesn't drop out?
Any thoughts, advice, direction would be gratefully received!

I did a lot of such hymn things in the past, but I was alway working on the scans in Photoshop, like adjusting, retouching spots and cropping. And I was always seperating those images to be more flexible so I never run into such a problem.
I am always scanning in a higher quality level than I would need, I scan it in color, this allows me to eliminate paper color easily, even if I need 1-bit images at the end, I do it in color, so I can also turn the image.
I did once run into a similar problem with a scan I have got from a copier-scanner machine (it was not a song). But saving as PSD resolved my problem.
So I would suggest: Open your files in Photoshop, resave them as PSD files and use those instead. If you use 1-bit images (which is fine for this type of images) you should use a resolution equal to the printer's resolution.

Problem uploading enhanced and crop photos

When I upload enhanced and crop photos from my iPad2 to Dropbox the original photo gets uploaded.
I am using the native iPad photo app on my iPad2 to enhance and crop I see that there are others with similar problems but no real solution. Don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is Apple issue. Seems I have wasted a lot of time enhancing photo but can't share them. Very annoying!!!
Any ideas? Need Help ASAP.
Thanks

Disregard lasts - I see the issue now having played around a little. Do your crop, email it to yourself, click on the checkout arrow at top of email screen and hit save image. Image is saved back to photoroll in cropped state. The original cropped image appears in photoroll. Click it, select image and then edit and revert. It will go back back - but the saved photo from email stays as it is..
You can now upload the saved image to dropbox. Hope this resolves your issue, Regards, Ct

Problem With the Marquee and Crop Tools

I have just upgraded to Photoshop CS5.
Whenever I drag out a rectangular marquee, elliptical marquee, or crop lines, while in the process of dragging, it draws the selection ("marching ants") from the center-out. It's as though I am holding down the option key, even when I am not. It's particularly annoying.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some kind of glitch? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You know, the more I use it, the more I realize that it's all sorts of things beyond the Marquee and Crop tools. It's "glitching" all over the place, and, you're right: it is doing things as though modifier keys like shift or option are being held down, even thought they're not.
As for the OS version: I haven't noticed anything weird happening yet on my work computer, which is still 10.6.4. The one that has the problem is my laptop, which is new, and it started out with CS5 on 10.6.5. So it seems consistent with the theory that 10.6.5 is part of the problem.
I logged out and then back in, as per some suggestions I derived from past threads, and that seems to have fixed it. At least for now. Folks are saying, though, that it is only temporary until the issue returns.

T430 1600x900 i5 Core: Mini DisplayPort To HDMI 1920x1080 TV Resolution And Sizing-Overscan Problems

Hello, and thanks in advance for any help. Also, my apologies if these issues have been previously resolved; I've spent 2 days searching for answers and none of my effort has resulted in a solution, either here or elsewhere.
I very recently for the first time connected my ThinkPad T430 2344-5GU (i5 core, native screen resolution 1600x900, Intel HD 4000 v9.17.10.2843, NVIDIA Optimus NVS 5400M v9.18.13.1100) to a Panasonic HD TV (native screen resolution 1920x1080) using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI connector, with the hope of playing 1080p movies on my laptop while watching them on the TV. This seemingly worked fine at first--both audio and video were present--but I quickly noticed that the image on the TV was, very slightly, larger than the image on the laptop screen (cutting off roughly 5% of the image on each of the 4 sides) and that the resolution wasn't 1920x1080. So I hunted for a solution.
Windows display properties were no help. In fact, as soon as I tweaked something there I lost the picture on the TV (the options available are "Show desktop only on 1" (the laptop screen), "Show desktop only on 2" (the TV screen), and "Extend these screens", which annoyingly turns the TV blank yet allows the cursor to to enter the TV screen depending on the chosen layout and the cursor's approach direction to the TV). So, from having a functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture on the TV screen I went to nothing, at least for my desired use.
Further research led me to the Intel HD 4000 settings, but those didn't even show that multiple screens were in use when the TV is attached. Finally, I tried using the NVIDEA Control Panel, but although multiple displays seem to be supported the best I can do when cloning is have the screens' resolutions meet in the middle at 1440x900, which makes them both look worse than the original plug-and-play result described above. Heck, I went so far as to enter the BIOS and try every combination possible under "Graphics": no NVIDEA, Integrated, Discrete, each with and without "Auto Detect NVIDEA capability" enabled and disabled. I even updated the NVIDEA driver to their newest, a version not available at the Lenovo Support site. Nothing. And worse, ever since my very first tweak under Windows display properties I wasn't able to return to the original functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture.
At this point I used a very recent image to return my system to it's Pre Original Tweak state (allowing for the functional-if-slightly-oversized-and-lower-quality picture originally obtained), which is better than nothing, I guess, but surely not what I'd expect from a higher end laptop.
Please, does anyone know if there's a way to connect my T430, native resolution 1600x900, to an HD TV, native resolution 1920x1080, while actually maintaining each screens respective native resolution and not losing any of the image? Thank you again for your time.
Edit: After more research I've fit the desktop image to the screen by adjusting the TV's "Picture/Advanced picture/HD size" setting from "Size 1" to "Size 2". Now my only question is if it's possible to somehow play a 1080p movie at the TV's native resolution of 1920x1080 or if I'm stuck with the laptop's navtive resolution of 1600x900.

Try grabbing the latest NVIDIA driver off of the NVIDIA website. It might help.
Extending it should also allow you to run the 1600x900 T430 screen plus the 1920x1080 TV screen each at their native resolutions.

Connecting the 1440x980 Powerbook to the TV, placement and cropping issues.

The last Powerbook I owned was the 1.87ghz 15inch at 1280x800 resolution. When I connected the computer to TV via s-video, everything was smooth, perfectly cropped and looked fantastic.
My new Powerbook, the last model Apple manufactured, has a 1440x960 resolution, and disappointing s-video output. After connecting the s-video to my TV, I connect to my Powerbook, hit Detect Displays and wait for a connection. The quality is perfect, but the image has a half inch black border on 3 sides and is flush with the right side of the TV.
Why am I having issues with this Powerbook? Is it the new resolution, bad video card? Is there any way to shift the image slightly or fill the remaining space?
Thanks for looking

Thanks for the tip, how do I change the refresh rate once the Powerbook is attached to the TV? The option seems to disappear once I hit Detect Displays.
I notcied that Overscan will get rid of the border, but then I have the problem of over-cropping and losing part of the image.

Multiple Cropping problems have been reported already and I have read tech support is looking at some of these problems - hopefully they will fix the following
In crop the custom dimension will not exceed 5 changes (would like to be able to see it built out to 10 custom sizes) and it no longer overwrites the last dimension change. It defaults to 2×3/4×6

Which TV do you have.
You may wish to try the following:
Press and hold the menu and the up button simultaneously on the remote for six seconds, the Apple TV should then begin to cycle through the various resolutions available to it at 20 second intervals.. If you see a picture appear up on your screen, use the remote to scroll down to the OK option and select it.

Windows XP Pro Desktop - Screen Resolution and Color Quality

When synchronizing my Zire after many successful and no problems the XP Pro screen resolution reverted to the lowest profile.
I can reset the resolution to the True color 1024 x 768 but after a minute or two it reverts again.
1. Reinstalled driver for Intel video on Compaq D510C motherboard and get same problems as well as corrupted looking graphics on screen.
2. Switched to a known good monitor and same problems (which I did not think was the problem but did to verify).
3. Installed new gForce5200fx graphics card and video still reverts and is corrupted looking even when in higher reset resolution.
4. Created new user to see if user profile was corrupted and still reverts and is corrupted looking even when in higher reset resolution.
Any suggestions?????

I also flashed the bios

Brutalizing my Hard Drive... and other problems

I just got an iBook G4 a month ago, and I am first trying to edit a movie now. I can't buy Final Cut pro, and I don't feel like I should have to based on the kind of movies I would like to make. But I have the following problems:
1) I would like to be able to import video at a lower resolution or something that would make my project take up less space... my internal HD is only 40GB and my external is 80, and small amounts of video take up huge amounts of space. And as someone noted, trashing these clips seems to do nothing. Which is very frustrating. I do not see the reason for "non-destructive" editing.
2) I don't know how to make the project originate on an External HD. Is this because it is USB? On my old (windows) computer I could use USB to import from the camera at a lower resolution, and now with only the firewire option and apparently no way to downgrade how much space the file takes up, putting it on the external drive would be a great help.
3) I have used final cut, and it actually seemed easier to do things such as trim the length of a clip at either end, slow it down, speed it up, reverse it, and more. I do not see any intuitive options to do these things (other than awkwardly clicking on the ends of the clip in the timeline to shorten it... but why can't I work with the clip alone?) , and I feel stupid. But the help option has nothing on it either. iMovie must have these capabilities, yes?
I am sorry for the long post, but I am frustrated. I find this to be the opposite of GarageBand, which was so intuitive I could mave music even though I had no goal in mind. I know exactly how I would like my simple movie to go, and I feel that the software is standing in the way. Would iMovie 4 be better? How do I downgrade?
Thanks.

I'm presently working on a wedding video, to go onto a DVD ..a bit more than 20 mins! ..And also on a video of some people doing Qi Gong (Chi Gung ..however you pronounce it ..you know: slow-moving oriental exercises) and both of those DVDs will need Chapters ..guests arriving; wedding ceremony; reception; speeches; dancing; people falling over and being ill ..we-e-ell; you know.. and the other has Chapters for each of the different exercises (..twisting left and hurting your back, touching your toes and getting cramps, swinging arms above head and smashing the lampshade, etc).
So I often make movies ..and DVDs.. which are longer than 20 mins ..though the last one was only 9mins or so, but that was a copy of some old VHS tape from 20 years ago for a cousin who's getting married next(?) week.
Chapters let you jump (..forward or back..) to a particular element of the video/DVD which you want to play again, without having to negotiate menus.
And other videos - of the eclipse, etc - often last 35 mins or more.
Over the years I recorded (..or shot on 8mm!..) a bit of what was happening with friends in Cornwall almost every time I visited them. This now amounts to 3hrs worth or so. Put onto a DVD - or two! - they can jump between chapters to see their daughter the day she was born; then the same girl aged three; then the same girl getting married, etc!
So I make long-ish video with iMovie, add Chapters for ease of navigation, then burn onto long-ish DVDs.

PowerMac G4 533DA & HDTV - video resolution / refresh rate problem

Hope someone can help, I need to access more resolution / refresh rates than I currently get in the Leopard display control:
I have a PowerMac G4 533 Digital Audio running Leopard 10.5.8 (unsupported). It has an upgraded AGP videocard, a ( flashed PC - RV200 chipset) Radeon 7500 w/ 64MB and a DVI output w/ a VGA adapter. I have used this Mac perfectly with my 19" widescreen Samsung SyncMaster 940BW, at a resolution of 1440 x 900 / 60Hz / millions of colors. This monitor is actually for my MacPro, but I used it for the G4 to set it up.
I moved it to my living room to use as a basic HTPC. Since it runs Leopard, it has up to date VLC, Quicktime for video files and a working Superdrive for movies. I don't expect it to play anything more than 480p properly, I think that was the best I got on YouTube. But if I have a DVD ripped to DivX or MP4 it plays them fine on the Samsung monitor.
I connected it to my Viewsonic N3760w 37" 1080 HDTV. It turns on, gray screen w/ Apple and gives me a working desktop. The problem is that I cannot get it to give me the correct resolution and more importantly it seem to have the wrong refresh rate. It is currently set at 1280 x 768 / 60Hz / millions of colors. The screen give me like a small line slowly moving up across screen, higher refresh rates only make it movie faster up the screen.
According to my Viewsonic, these are the resolutions for computer using the VGA plug on the tv:
PC - 1360x768 (preferred) , 1024x768, 1280x768
Mac G3/G4/G5 - up to 1280 x 1024, 1280x720 (preferred)
Please note all of these are lower resolution than my Samsung monitor. My Viewsonic also has on screen adjustment of " phase " and " frequency " as well as the usual color, contrast, etc available. Is there a 3rd party app to manually adjust the resoluion and refresh rate? I have seen Windows programs, does one exist for Mac OS X?
TIA, sorry for the long post

My Viewsonic also connected by VGA, no problem.
I wish I knew more. I checked out the app you did a trial of. I noticed this statement on their web site: Quote
"After rebooting monitor stays blank
For some reason your monitor does not accept the installed frequency. SWITCH IT OFF!"
This is the type of statement that would 'worry me.' -- having the phrase: SWITCH IT OFF! all in caps seems to imply a possibility of damage...which I mentioned in my initial post. (and the site goes on to talk about how you should even then connect another monitor to change the settings you've made that were not accepted).
As I said, though, I wish I knew more for sure about this. It seems that you not only did the obvious of checking System Peferences>Display, but also realize the Viewsonic has buttons that can influence it's screen image, most about position of the image on the screen but at least one item about resolution on mine. (under Setup Mode)
For what it's worth, my Viewsonic is about 6 years old now, still fine, and has eight (8) possible resolutions shown in System Preferences.
Re: Your numbers.
It is currently set at 1280 x 768 / 60Hz / millions of colors.
PC - 1360x768 (preferred) , 1024x768, 1280x768
Mac G3/G4/G5 - up to 1280 x 1024, 1280x720 (preferred)
If you're only talking about a difference of 1280 x 768 and G4 1280 x 1024, perhaps just stretching the picture using the Viewsonic buttons is the way to go.
Or, from the numbers, perhaps the G4 just wants a resolution closest to it's preferred state!?
Anyhow, good luck.
