Screen Resolution & Aspect Ratio

I am a new user of Boot Camp, running Vista Home Premium w/SP1 on a 3 GHz MacPro tower with a 30" Cinema display. Both the screen resolution and aspect ratio are great with VMware Fusion, but with Boot Camp the resolution is too small and the aspect ratio is not correct (everything appears too large, and stretched from side-to-side). I have distorted audio with Fusion, so I would prefer to get Boot Camp working so that the screen presentation is correct.
Additionally, the display driver selection on both Boot Camp and Fusion seems to be ignoring that I have a GeForce 8800 GT graphics card - is this perhaps the reason for my screen problems? The only other issue is file sharing - is there any way around that besides throwing money at some more software (using Paragon appears to be a viable alternative)?
Any ideas on how to correct this would be really appreciated! (And any ideas on how to fix the audio problem with Fusion?)
Thanks in advance,
Dave

You might want to install the drivers straight from nVidia's website instead of from the disk.
File sharing? You might as well burn yourself an Ubuntu disk, boot from it, open up Gparted, and shrink one of your partitions by 32 GB (or smaller) and throw a FAT32 partition in the free space. Then throw all the files you want to share on the disk that appears on your Mac OS X desktop (it'll also appear in Windows's My Computer).
Or just use a combination of MacFUSE (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/) and NTFS-3G (http://www.ntfs-3g.org/) on the Mac side, and MacDisk (http://www.macdisk.com/mden.php3) or HFSExplorer (http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html) on the Windows side. On the Mac side, the disk appears on the desktop and you can access it via the holy Finder like any other disk or folder. On the Windows side, however, you have to access it by opening up the app you downloaded. Haha, Windows.

  • Resolution, Aspect Ratio & Black Bars! How to stretch screen?

    Hi!
    I have a HP HDX 9200 series laptop computer with an ATI 2600 HD XT and running latest Windows 7 Beta and I first noticed that my games didn't streched to full screen when they weren't using the native resolution on the LCD screen (1680*1050), so, let's say, when running one of them in 1024*768, I get two huge black bars at the side! Now, this didn't happen with previouses OSes (Vista). Then, I noticed that the same happened if I went to change the Windows resolution to 1024*768, I would get the same bars at the sides while being in Windows!
    I tried downloading latest ATI W7 drivers to see if there was an option or something to stretch the image, but I couldn't find one.
    Can you please let me know how to make the screen scale to the whole display, even if it isn't in the native resolution?
    Thanks in advance.

    HERE'S THE SOLUTION TO THE ATI BLACK BARS PROBLEM
    It took months for me to find this on the web, so I thought I would share it here, the first hit for 'ATI Black Bars windows 7' on Google.
    1) Open Catalyst Control Center
    2) Use the drop down box at the top to click on Desktops and Displays
    3) At the very bottom where your monitors are displayed, click on the little black arrow and click "Configure".  Note that if configure does not appear, you are clicking on the wrong black triangle (you must use the one in the very bottom section).
    4) This will bring up properties for that display.  Choose "Full Screen" or "Maintain aspect ratio", whatever your preference.  If you are getting black bars on all sides, you are likely on "Centered".
    5) IF THE OPTIONS ARE GREYED OUT, as they were when I first tried this, the workaround is to lower your display resolution before attempting the above.  Once you have changed the setting, you can return your display resolution back to whatever you like and the setting will remain as your display changes (movies, games, etc).
    Hope that helps!!
    This DOES NOT WORK for DirectX9-based ATI graphics devices on Windows 7.  In fact, there is currently NO SOLUTION to this problem if you are using a DX9-based ATI graphics device on Windows 7.
    ATI has refused to release any proper Windows 7 drivers for their DX9-based devices, so if you are running Windows 7 with such a device, then your only choice is to install the "legacy" Vista driver onto Windows 7. 
    If your computer is a laptop, this situation is made even more convoluted by the fact that ATI's driver packages refuse to install on laptops unless you use a third-party utility called "ATI Mobility Modder" to first modify ATI's driver package.   Apparently ATI wants you to get the driver from your laptop manufacturer, but since most laptop manufacturers have not bothered to release newer video drivers that really isn't a reasonable expectation on ATI's part.
    There is a bug in ATI's "legacy" Vista drivers on Windows 7 which hides the scaling/stretching options that should be present.  Normally you would find these options under the "Notebook Panel Properties" node of the treeview in the Catalyst Control Center.  They show up there fine using the same driver on Vista on the same hardware, but they are mysteriously absent when using the same driver on the same hardware on Windows 7.
    It looks increasingly unlikely that ATI will EVER update their "legacy" drivers for their DX9-based graphics devices.  It looks even more unlikely that they will ever develop proper Windws 7 drivers for these devices.  Instead they are focusing all their efforts on their newer DX10-based devices and drivers.  
    This leaves users of laptops with DX9-based ATI graphics in a particularly frustrating and stupid situation.  DirectX 9 graphics devices are perfectly adequate for running Windows 7, and therefore they should have proper Windows 7 drivers released for them by the manufacturer (ATI).  I shouldn't have to buy an entirely new laptop just so I can get a DX10-based video device just so I can get the stretching/scaling options in Windows 7.  If this were a desktop PC, I could just swap out the video card, but that's not an option on a laptop.
    Therefore, it falls on Microsoft to either (1) put pressure on ATI to fix their broken "legacy" Vista DX9 drivers to add back the scaling/stretching options when running on Windows 7, or (2) add an OS-level user option (independent of drivers) that can be used to control the resolution scaling/stretching. 
    My specific situation:
    I have an HP Compaq 6910p laptop with the ATI Mobility Radeon X2300 graphics chipset (DX9-based).  I am running Windows 7 x64 RTM.  Neither ATI nor HP supply an official Windows 7 driver for this graphics chipset, and the driver supplied by Microsoft is bare-bones (no advanced options/settings like ATI's Catalyst Control Center offers).  So I installed the latest (9.11) ATI "legacy" Vista x64 CCC package (after using ATI Mobility Modder to modify it so it will actually install on the laptop). 
    I run a lot of classic video game emulators and older games that use old 4:3 resolution modes like 800x600 or 1024x768. When they switch into these modes, I get huge black borders around all edges of the screen (top/bottom/left/right) and a tiny little viewable area right in the center of the screen.  I have to squint to see anything.  What I want -- and I don't think it's an unreasonable expectation at all -- is for the image to be stretched to fill the screen WITHOUT being distorted to change the aspect ratio.  In other words, when I switch to any 4:3 mode (like 800x600) I expect the image to completely fill my screen vertically (all the way to the top and bottom edges) but with black bars along the left/right edges so that the aspect ratio is still truly 4:3.  This is how I was able to make it work with Vista on this same laptop before, so I expect to be able to do the same thing using Windows 7.  Unfortunately there is currently no way to do that, which completely destroys my abillity to use lower resolution modes comfortably on this laptop at all.
    Well you can work past that actualy, but the option is annoying to do everytime since when i go to a lower resolution everything becomes blurry and so on.
    Heres what you do when you use a dx9 graphics card. 
    1. lower you resolution one step down. I use 1680x1050 so i went to 1600x1024.
     You should have the black bars lower bottom on the side different to everyone.
    2. Since CCC dosnt give the scaeling option under "Notebook & Panel Properties" in Advanced View
        you change to basic and do it under Quick Settings.
    3. take "Notebook & Panel Properties" on the right side in the box click on " Resize the desktop to fit the display panel" and click go change it to "Resize to fit the display panel"
    NOTE.  the trick is that it changes back automaticaly to "Do not resize" when you have your maximum resolution that is recommended by W7 thats why you need to take some other resolution.
    I know its annoying to change it all the time but its the best there is right now and atleast you got the games fit to the screen and you can change the resolution back each time but then you got to do the resize with CCC again when you want to play some games.
    Hope it was a help to you.

  • Match resolutions/aspect ratio of two different cameras

    I shot a short video with an iPad 3 and a Sony DCR-DVD-403 NTSC.
    The video from the iPad is fuller and wider than the footage I shot with the Sony Cam.
    1. I just need them to be the same size as I edit.  So that I can produce this project with all video the same size.
    2. I would also like to know if I can capture the footage from the miniDVD straight into Premiere Pro without having to use a third party converter to rip and convert.  Is this possible, if so, then I am hoping I get the option to match the video aspect ratio from the discs with the iPad footage.
    I can't find the answer to these questions anywhere.
    Many thanks,
    TekyJohn

    You have three issues to deal with -
    1) Sony footage is Standard Definition, iPad is HD
    2) Sony is 4:3, iPad is 16:9 widescreen
    3) iPad clips are 30.0 frames per second, while the standard for video is 29.97 frames actually, like the Sony clips are.
    If both were widescreen, this would be so much simpler....
    Do you need to deliver in HD, or will SD be ok? Because if you blow up the SD to HD, it will look very soft next to the HD video. Better to bring the HD down to SD specs. If they were both 16:9, you'd be all set!
    However, you need to decide if you want to crop the iPad footage to 4:3, or make the 4:3 clips into 16:9, either way you lose part of the image. Or you could mix them as is, but you will have either letterboxing or pillarboxing on just ONE of the clips and that will not look good when switching between the two cameras.
    So...if you want to deliver as 16:9 SD, you could do this - create a new DV Widescreen sequence and add your clips. To get rid of the black side bars (pillarboxing) on the SD clips, use the Adobe Motion control in Effects panel to Scale the clip up until it fills the screen. You then may also need to adjust the clip up or down within the frame so as to not cut off heads, keep subject framed, using Position settings for X and Y. That is the downside to making 4:3 into 16:9, you lose some of the image. For the iPad clip, right-click and select "Scale to Frame Size" and it will fill the widescreen just fine.
    If you want to deliver 4:3 SD, then choose an NTSC DV preset, which will be 4:3 and suitable to the Sony clips. Then bring in the iPad clips and Scale down to fit using Motion effect, keeping in mind the SIDES of the video will be clipped off. Again, you can use the Position settings in Motion to move the frame left or right to keep the subject framed.
    As for frame rate issue, I believe that Adobe will handle that for you when putting the 30fps clip into the 29.97 sequence, should be ok but may result in a little weirdness in smoothness of motion, not sure. I don't know if you'll run into audio sync issues between the two though??
    Good luck

  • Resolution & aspect ratio

    I am going to take some pictures in RAW format with my Canon 60D to use in video editing. I'll crop my original RAW file to 16:9 aspect ratio and reduce image size to 1920x1080 (16:9) then.
    a. As Canon 60D provides L(RAW) 5184x3456, M(RAW) 3888x2592 and S(RAW) 2592x1728, I wonder which original RAW format I should use. Is there any differene in quality of my final product with different original RAW?
    b. Say if I choose S(RAW) 2592x1728, can I crop it to 2592x1458 (16:9) and scale it down to the proper size to use in video editing? If I do it this way, will the final video file become much bigger?
    Thank you.

    Do you plan on animating the photos, e.g. zoom in, zoom out, pan around? Or will you be leaving them static? If you're not going to be animating the photos, you can probably use the lowest resolution--and practically speaking, you don't even need to crop and resize the images externally before using them in Premiere Pro. As of CS5, PPro has much better scaling algorithms and can produce very nice results simply by scaling the photos in your editing sequence. This lets you position a large photo any way you see fit within your sequence, so you don't need to worry about creating multiple versions of a cropped photo, e.g. wide, medium, close-up.
    If you will be animating the photos, there are practical maximum dimensions you'll want to be aware of: maximum dimensions in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 and CS5.5 « Premiere Pro work area

  • Need resolution & aspect ratio advice

    Hi everyone,
    recently I've ran into some problems with Final Cut Express 4.0:
    my original video material (shot on a Kodak Zi8) is HD 1080p, and has a resolution of 1920x1080, so it's 16:9.
    The first question is about the resolution: obviously, I want to keep the high quality of the video, however, the only setting of the "easy configuration" (sorry, translating from the German program here) that comes close to the original resolution is the "Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60", and it only features 1440x1080. Am I doing a mistake when selecting this one and is my video material scaled down already then? Is there a more appropriate setting?
    Second part of the question, which I guess is a direct result of the first part: I've tried to export the video for Youtube in H.264 and various different settings, and I never seem to be able to accomplish a true 16:9 video as the end result. I always have black bars left and right of the picture (see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFM3TAbvObw). If I try to apply a 16:9 resolution myself (by taking the width and multiplying it with 1,78) I end up with a faultily scaled (flat) picture.
    Any suggestions are very much appreciated,
    thanks in advance!

    recently I've ran into some problems with Final Cut Express 4.0:
    When you update to the free FCE 4.0.1 FCE from Software update 1920x1080 codecs are available.
    See how they go with your camera. Most still cameras have problems capturing directly to FCE as there codecs are non standard.

  • FCP: Motion Distort Aspect Ratio -33.33?

    Good morning,
    I recently exported two different sequences from FCP. Both films were exported using ‘QuickTime Movie’ and ‘Current Settings’.
    One of the films came out letter-boxed and the other did not.
    In investigating this I found the only difference in the settings of two films seems to be that under the 'Distort' field in 'Motion' tab of the FCP Viewer, the Aspect Ratio for the letter-boxed video was set at '-33.33' while for the full-screen the Aspect Ratio was set for '0'. When I changed the -33.33 to 0 I got the full-screen, non-letter-boxed image I wanted.
    Both films are also played with QuickTime player using ‘Conform Aperture to: Clean’ under the ‘Presentation’ tab of [Command]-J.
    Why was the Aspect Ratio for these clips set at -33.33? Since I didn't set this, it must have been an automatic setting.
    I'm sure I'm missing something here.
    Cheers,
    BurntMonkey

    Studio X,
    Thanks again. 'Squeeze Mode' is the DVX100B's solution to fitting a 16:9 aspect on a 4:3 chip. If I understand correctly when in the mode the DVX basically animorphically squeezes the footage onto the chip. Then when it is handled in post the footage is 'stretched' and you are left with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
    Yes, when I first drag a clip to the timeline, I do get the message about the sequence settings not matching and do I want to change them to match the current clip. Is this when the Aspect Ratio is set to -33.33?
    My question is still 'Why?' When I reset the aspect ration back to '0' I get the full-screen, 16:9 image that I was hoping for in the first place. But I'm wondering when this will come back to haunt me. I have burned a DVD using the exported sequence so everything seems to be OK.
    Thanks for your help in understanding this.
    Cheers,
    John

  • Iphone4 Aspect ratios & screen resolutions

    Ok so this may be in the wrong category but wouldn't it make more sense to have more options for Video Recording such as changing video recording resolutions and aspect ratios.. this may be some what good..

    Well, you are missing something critically important. The shape of the pixels.
    A 1920X1080 frame uses square pixels. In a 720X480 4:3 frame they are rectangular in that they are taller than they are wide. In a 720X480 widescreen they are wider than they are tall.
    If you export your 1920X1080 to MPEG2 (and I hope it is for a DVD because otherwise you should probably be using H.264) you should set the frame for Widescreen using a pixel aspect ratio of 1.212
    You may still have black bars, just slivers really, on each side so you may want to "Scale to Fill".

  • Can the screen be cropped to and exported at a custom aspect ratio?

    I think I'm needing Premier to do something it's just not designed to do. What I need to do is to take five or six different screen and audio captures of the same event (a 3D virtual reality instructional session), each representing a different person's view of that event, assemble those in a split screen, synchronize them to the designated "main" capture's audio, delete the other audio tracks, and add CG title labeling each one. The effect is like looking at a display showing six security camera images. From what I can determine, it is possible to do those things in Premier.
    However, what I then need to do is to crop out any extra space to the left and right of that split-screen image and export the file as a .mov with the aspect ratio produced by the cropping so that the videos are as large as possible and are not distorted from resizing them to fit the standard aspect ratio. Depending on the size of the screencaps, the resulting .mov might have nearly a 1:1 ratio. What is critical for this is that the video be as large as possible and the "black" space be as small as possible so that the person who comes in later to analyze these composite videos can see everything  as clearly as possible. I also need to crop on the fly; because these images aren't always captured at the same size, it is impossible to preset a size for the resulting video.
    We've been using a screen capture tool to do this that works but is a pain; clips can only be moved and resized by mouse-drags, and the software has to import to and export from its own proprietary format, which is very slow. However, ever piece of "real" video editing software I've looked at only seems to export in TV or film aspect ratios. Quicktime Pro looked for a bit like the best bet, but it doesn't seem to be able to handle multiple audio tracks (which are necessary since I have to synchronize tracks by ear much of the time).
    Is what I'm describing--exporting .mov files while preserving custom aspect ratios that are created by cropping during editing--something Premier can do? If so, would it be something fairly easy for complete novices to do?

    medeamajic wrote:
    On a Mac based system ScreenFlow might work best but on the PC side FRAPS might work best. You can do what you want to do with Premiere Pro once you record the screen capture. As Stephen_Spider mentioned you might need to crop and even resize the images. FRAPS can record at 1/4 the screen resolution and still have decent results. PP CS 5.5 can play several layers (6 PIPs) of the FRAPS codec at 1/4 resolution in realtime.
    Thanks, but we cannot change the screen recording process. According to the study's protocols, the virtual world has to be full-screen or almost nearly so during the session, and that full screen has to be captured for analysis. Resizing the screen captures is not a problem (especially since I already said I'm doing that), but if you're saying that Premier can only play back up to six screen captures simultaneously if they're captured at 1/4 screen, then that's a deal-breaker right there.
    By the way, here's approximately what each of the completed composite videos looks like:
    Screencap 1
    Screencap 2
    Screencap 3
    Screencap 4
    Screencap 5
    Screencap 6
    Each screencaptures is resized to the largest consistent size that will fit into this format, and then the resulting video is cropped to the outside border. If there are only five screencaptures, I simply center the single one on the bottom on the "center line."
    And, to be clear (though I've said this several times already), this is something that is already being done. We probably have more than 60 of these .mov files, each around 45 minutes long, with five or six synchronized screen captures in each. Frame rate etc. has not been any issue with these, and neither has playback of the .mov file from HD or DVD.

  • Display resolutions and aspect ratio's

    Two questions:
    1. Is there a way to get the aspect ratio of the screen?
    2. Is there a way from within Java to take over the entire screen and set the screen resolution without using DirectX?

    hi!
    for your first problem you can reffer to Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize() after that you can easily calculate the ratio..

  • Aspect ratio for old full screen games, advice sought on buying new monitor

    Hi.
    I'm thinking of buying a ThinkVision LT2252p to replace the old monitor my employer threw out because I've found the old one doesn't offer scaling of the aspect ratio meaning that my golden oldie full-screen-only PC games are all stretched out of shape to fit the entire monitor.
    With the LT2252p, will a 1280 × 960 desktop (or a 1024 × 768 fullscreen game...) appear on the monitor with black bars at either side or with a black border all around? (I'm hoping that's what is meant by 'Same Aspect Ratio with input signal'.) Either way is good, just so long as a circle looks like a circle and not an oval.
    If it's the case that I'm behind the times and the LT2252p is getting a bit long in the tooth, what would be a suitable alternative for a graphics card with VGA and DVI only?
    Thanks very much,

  • Mac pro aspect ratio of main screen is wrong

    Hello,
    Done something I had to do ages ago, just upgraded from 10.6 to 10.9.2. All went perfectly well but for two little (hope little) problems
    1. The aspect ratio of my main screen is not correct, it sretches over the vertical direction. Impossible to do graphical work like this.
    2. If I drag window to another screen the movement is not fluent as it used to be + a window can not be split over two screens which could be done before too.
    For the rest all seems to be perfectly nice and clean.
    Hope somebody has ideas

    With the System preferences > Displays pane open, hold down the Option key for more Resolutions and more Options.
    This un-Mac-like hack has been allowed to creep in, and the Mac Human Interface Police have not dealt with the perpetrators ... yet.
    10.9 Mavericks changes the way displays are treated, and the new default is that each display is an independent workspace. This can be put back to the "correct" Extended desktop way.
    Windows in Mavericks reside in a single space by default, so they usually don't span multiple displays. When a window is dragged between displays, it appears translucent on one of the displays to indicate this. After you are done dragging the window, it snaps to one display.
    If you need an app window to span multiple displays, deselect the option "Displays have separate Spaces" in the Mission Control pane of System Preferences.

  • Video support: resolution, portrait mode and aspect ratio

    I have been playing with a friend's PowerPC-based mini (while I wait for Leopard to come out) and have some pre-purchase questions:
    1) Do the current Core 2 Duo mac mini models support the VESA standard Preset Timing Mode of 1680 x 1050? (That's not listed on his older mac mini and would affect my choice of monitor.)
    2) Does the current mac mini support portrait mode with any monitor at all?
    3) The specs list maximum resolutions of 1920 x 1200 (16:10) with DVI and 1920 x 1080 (16:9) with VGA. I'm guessing that is related to bandwidth of the cable and does not mean that all output to DVI would be at the 16:10 aspect ratio and all output to VGA would be at the 16:9.

    mexibeetle,
    As far as the resolution of 1680x1050 I cannot answer you. I have a Power PC mini as well as an intel mini. The resolutions available change based on the display connected, but neither of mine offer that particular resolution (the 17" monitor I have does not go that high on the PPC mini via VGA and the intel mini is hooked up to a 40" LCD TV via HDMI...those resolutions are either 1600x900 or 1920x1080)
    Neither my monitor nor my HDTV list that particular resolution (1680x1050) as being available, regardless of what they are connected to, so I cannot say whether or not the mini is capable of driving a screen at that resolution.
    As to portrait mode, on both the older and newer minis in the display preference pane there is the option to rotate your image...90, 180 and 270 degrees. Mounting your monitor horizontal or vertical should not pose any problem as far as I can see.

  • Removing Black Bars on iMovie Projects (Aspect Ratio / Resolution Problem)

    Hey folks,
    I jusr recently recorded a video using fraps on my PC while playing World of Warcraft. I've transfered this over to my mac to import into iMovie and upon importing the file (using a DV Widescreen profile) there are two black bars on either side of the video.
    I believe this is because my monitor is using a different aspect ratio (max resolution is 1680x1050, in otherwords not 16:9 as the profile indicates).
    How can I configure iMovie to conform to the aspect ratio of the origional imported video? I know if I import the video and get it edited to the final version I want to encode, there is an option using the Divx codec to remove these bars - But i'd like to keep the video using the H.264/.Mov standards (Divx looks like crap IMO!)
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

I have a Samsung HDTV, and I can stream content using its own pc to tv streaming software and 4:3 videos fill the entire screen. Or if I play a DVD with 4:3 aspect ratio that will also automatically fill the screen. With the Apple TV I cannot make it fill the entire screen. Is this something to do with the signal being transmitted over an HDMI cable?
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how have you resolved it?

    I know it is displaying 4:3 video correctly, however I'd prefer if there was some stretching (non-linear) so that it fills the entire screen. Having 2 big black bars on either side gets very annoying. There doesnt seem to be an option to fill the entire screen when streaming from the apple tv. There are options when streaming from Samsung's own software (I don't want to use samsungs pc share manager as the apple tv's user interface is much better).
    Are my options restricted because the signal is transmitted through an hdmi cable? Seems to be what other websites might be suggesting.
