Sony Wide Screen Projection TV

I had my Dish Satellite system upgraded to HDTV. All HD channels work on Encore Movies work good, along with locals.
Dish is having free weekend with HBO and Cinamax. When I try to access them, I get a message that says my receiver doesn't have HDCP.
Calling there tech I’m told it has something to do with a Copyright.

It would help if you posted the model of your reciever and TV, along with how you have your system cabled.

  • Poor Quality in Wide-Screen When Exporting HD to Quicktime

    Hello all...
    I'm working on a fairly large project in iMovie HD with wide-screen footage from my Sony HDR-HC3 and have hit a wall.
    I can't seem to get a good result when I export clips into Quicktime in a wide-screen format. They are a bit choppy & you can see bits of some horizontal lines. The same video exported in full-screen VGA looks great. Any tips...? I basically just want to make good quality QT movies watchable on my computer that maintain the original aspect ratio (and LOOK like they do in iMovie!)
    The entire project is around 100GB and I currently have almost 40GB of free space. Any help appreciated!

    What do you need to end up with? Just a file to play back or burn to a DVD or make a web stream or?

  • How do I create a wide screen movie in Premiere Elements 7 and burn to DVD or Blue Ray?

    I have created a movie using project settings of 16:9 and also filmed in this format.  The movie I burned to DVD is not in wide screen. I have requested assistance and given instructions to go through share and select Sony PSP.  However this creates a file which is saved to my computer in mpeg-4 format which will not burn to my DVD.  I am using a Blue Ray burner which looks as if it will only take MP3.  Any suggestions?

    I haven't actually done a BluRay yet - waiting to get everything right and,
    hopefully, will be able to put more than 1 movie when all is finished!
    That's my next challenge. I initially used Share/Disc to burn the DVD with,
    I thought, all the settings for widescreen.  It has always worked OK in
    Pinnacle.  When I lodged the problem with tech support they sent me
    instructions using the Sony PSP.  Interestingly I use a Sony camera, have a
    Sony disc burner plus Sony TV and Playstation so you'd think they'd all talk
    to each other!!!

    Are your creating and burning your DVD (or is it a BluRay disc?) from
    Premiere Elements by choosing Share/Disc?
    If so, it should produce a widescreen disc.
    Sometimes DVD players don't automatically read home-burned DVDs as
    widescreen and you have to manually switch it. But at the very least the
    video should be either letterboxed or stretched.

  • *** How do I get the "really wide" screen look?

    I am shooting HDV with a Sony Z1U and love the results, but I wondered about something. I would like my finished projects to have the "really wide" screen look similar to a 2:35 panoramic. I know this is achievable by letterboxing the footage, primarily because there aren't too many panoramic tv's, but my main concern is for the web.
    Is there a way to make my online clips appear really wide? Currently I export 480x270 for the web, but like the look I saw on the latest Superman trailer where the dimmensions could be either 480x200 or 650x270 depending on how you scaled down the quicktime window.
    Obviously I don't want any squishing but my question is, do I have to shoot with an adaptor to get this look or can I just place a 2:35 matte on my footage and somehow export through quictime conversion so as not to see the black bars on top and bottom?
    Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance...

    You can't shoot native 2.35:1 with the Z1U using a special lens, if that's what you're wondering. You must letterbox and/or place your footage in a custom-sized sequence.
    To spell that out for you:
    Create a new HDV sequence
    With the sequence open and active in the Timeline, open Sequence Settings (Command-0) [that's Zero]
    Alter Aspect Ratio to Custom, then alter Frame Size to 1440x816
    (It must be done in that order - Aspect Ratio, then Frame Size - to work correctly)
    Nest your final sequence (or your completed movie) into this new sequence.
    (If your sequence or clip was letterboxed to 2.35:1, it will be windowboxed [black on all 4 sides]. Otherwise, it will be pillarboxed [black on the left & right sides].)
    Select your nested sequence or clip(s), then bring up the Remove Attributes dialog (Option-Command-V), select Basic Motion (in case it's not preselected), then click OK
    (The trailer should now fill the frame, with any letterboxing cropped off)
    File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion and be sure to specify a custom size. Full size would be 1920x816, so calculate according to that ratio (not 1440x816)

  • I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV.  Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection.  Anyone can help?

    I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV.  Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection.  Anyone can help?

    The iPad Screen is almost square, HD TVs are rectangular so will never be full screen.  When watching movies, the movies native aspect ratio will be used rather than the iPads screen aspect ratio so will look full screen if the movie is full screen, but most likely will be seen in wide screen letter box format. with black bars across the top and bottom as that what most movies from iTunes are in, format wise

  • Change  of ratio from 4 x 3  to 16 x 9  wide screen..

    Change  of ratio from 4 x 3  to 16 x 9  wide screen.. in FCX pro
    Can anybody please help me, who has prior knowledge of changing the ratio from 4 x 3 to 16.9 widescreen that I have already imported.. I have tried everything in the preferences.. Before I imported it, and after, however it is not working. It’s been imported from a FlashCARD… Thank you in anticipation

    Hello once again Tom, sorry for the inconvenience, I'm quite new to this Final Cut Pro as you can tell. However here is information you requested I hope I got it right for you.
    I will do my best to explain as I go on. I'm using a Canon XL2 broadcast camera which is capable of shooting in 9 x 6 and 4 x 3. It is a DV tape camera and additional to that I have on the back a datavideo (DN 60) flash card recorder. I do believe that the flash card recorder records in 16 x 9, so I am told by the distributors. I'm also told by the same distributors that for some reason Final Cut Pro X does not recognise the 16 x 9 flag, however Adobe, Sony Vegas etc they do recognise it and allow you to change the ratio size in their software. When I use the tape from the camera it exports into Final Cut Pro X as 16 x 9, so I will thought that the flash card recorder would record in the same format.
    I can tell by the size of the clip in the viewfinder that it is not 16 x 9 when I import it in, I also make a quick 10 second movie and set that as my master file, no matter what I use to import it in the preferences it still won't stretch to widescreen, or in fact anything else I do as I send it to a master file, anything else than this I am at a loss, not sure what to do. I hope the picture of the move inspector is what you require also including the picture to let you see the size in reference.

  • Wide-screen compressing

    I have finished working on a movie built on film clips from my friend's Canon video camera. It shoots wide-screen footage, so the iMovie project is also wide-screen. Now that it is time to compress the project, I am finding that most of the QuickTime options "squish" the image to something that is no longer wide-screen. There are a few options that do not. But these have low-quality resolution.
    Any suggestions?
    thanks!
    Greg M.

    I found it! On iMovie 7.0.3 (OS 10.4.11 version) select 'share' then QuickTime then 'movie to AVI'. Next to that selection are 'settings'. There are two adjustable settings: the video was set to 4:3. I changed it to 16:9 for wide-screen.
    Perfect!

  • How to send wide-screen slideshow to iDVD?

    Hi there,
    is there a way to create a wide-screen slideshow in iPhoto and send it unaltered to iDVD? Whatever I try, it stubbornly wants to reformat the slideshow with a 4/3 aspect ratio.
    Any hints would be very much appreciated, and yes, I do have Photo2Movie, but I'm interested whether it's possible from iPhoto
    Cheers Martin

    Martin:
    How are you creating the slideshow in iPhoto? Did you crop the photos to the 16:9 ratio before creating the slideshow? That's what I did and then did the Share to iDVD. I made sure I had a widescreen theme and that iDVD was set to widescreen under the Project menu.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Adobe's Open Screen Project. Opinions?

    It seems like Adobe is trying to slowly shift towards Open Source, as its concurrents (i.e. MS) are adopting open standards. Adobe has now launched the "Open Screen Project":
    The Open Screen Project, supported by Adobe and several "industry leaders" and announced today, is supposed to foster the creation of a "consistent runtime environment" that will "remove barriers for developers and designers as they publish content and applications across desktops and devices, including phones, mobile Internet devices, and set top boxes". The idea is that such a runtime environment will provide the best performance across a wide range of operating systems.
    As part of the Open Screen Project, Adobe announced several changes in their policies towards Flash, "to open access to Adobe Flash technology":
        * Removing restrictions on use of the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications
        * Publishing the device porting layer APIs for Adobe Flash Player
        * Publishing the Adobe Flash Cast protocol and the AMF protocol for robust data services
        * Removing licensing fees - making next major releases of Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR for devices free

  • High Quality Wide Screen for YouTube - PLEASE HELP!

    I am using a Panasonic PV-GS400 camera in wide-screen mode (this is another topic, but the camera still outputs 720 x 480 video, my understanding is that it is called "anamorphic wide screen"). I had figured out some settings to get my videos to appear in "High Quality" mode, wide screen (16:9) in YouTube, but the last couple of times I have tried these settings, they didn't work. Here's what I used:
    - Windows Media 856 x 480 frame size
    - Frame rate 29.97kbps
    - Pixel aspect ratio - square (1.0)
    - 2 encoding passes
    I got the 856 x 480 ratio from another website. I don't really understand why the pixel aspect ratio needs to be square, but when I tried 16:9 aspect ratio, the video is letterboxed. I also don't understand the two different project modes for PE7 (when creating a new project you can choose the format 4:3 or 16:9). Maybe someone can explain how the widescreen project setting works. Perhaps it is something similar to how my camera does widescreen but the videos are still 720 x 480.
    At any rate, if someone has settings that will reliably produce wide screen videos that appear in YouTube's "high quality" mode, I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

    As we often say on this forum, the biggest challenge with working with YouTube is that, as soon as someone figures it out, YouTube changes the rules again.

  • Export from HDV to Web-Plausible Wide-Screen DVD Size?

    I'd like to let some friends view some video I've shot in HDV (1440x1080i anamorphic wide-screen, camcorder is Sony HDR-FX1) and am editing with Final Cut Pro HD 5.0.4. I'd therefore like to export this video into a web-usable format, preferably at DVD resolution. Since this is wide-screen video, that works out to 853x480.
    I'm at a lack to find an export format that can do that. Almost every pre-defined export format produces a 4:3 anamorphic print. When I use "Custom..." to explicitly ask for 853x480, it changes those settings to 848x477, but the final video comes out as 1131x477 (i.e., 16:9 x 4:3).
    Anybody have any ideas how to do this? Thanks everybody!

    Aha! The trick appears to be to set "Pixel Aspect Ratio" to "square" in the "Custom..." dialog. Apparently the fact that it was still set for anamorphic caused my 848x477 attempt come out to 1131x477.
    By the way, I don't think HDV (or at least my HDR-FX1, which says it's HDV) has square pixels. Its images are 1440x1080 resolution, which is a 4:3 ratio, but it produces a 16:9 image, so it's got to be anamorphic.

  • Importing wide screen results in Pilarboxing

    Hi, I am importing some widescreen QT movies into iMovie, the new project was selected as DV wide screen, and the individual movies are also widescreen, but once the QT movies are imported, the result is a widescreen with pilarboxing (black bars on the sides) and therefore the image is distorted. How can I solve this?
    Thanks

    When you start the project, in preferences, UNcheck the box 'automatic pillarboxing'.

  • Converting back to wide screen after burning to DVD

    Hi all,
    Looks like I burned my iDVD project to standard 4.3 and not widescreen mode. I can't see my title menu on my TV when viewing (I used Road trip theme). I deleted my original imovie too soon before I checked it. Is there a way to make a wide screen version of my finished iDVD project?
    Thanks
    web dude

    You mean other than starting over in iMovie? Yes there is. It may sound complicated but it isn't really!
    First go to http://www.mydvdedit.com/index.php?lang=english and download myDVDedit. This is shareware although the download is free. Send the guy a few dollars/euros, he deserves it. While you are there, read all about it. Now install it in your Applications Folder. You will need it later.
    Open your Movies Folder. Create a new folder. Name it PROJECTNAME – TS FILES (where ‘projectname’ is the name of your project!). Close the folder. You can of course call it anything you like, but this aids identification.
    Double-click on the DVD icon to open a folder containing the AUDIO_TS files and VIDEO_TS files. Drag and drop these to the folder you created in your Movies Folder. (This takes a moment).
    Click on the AUDIO_TS folder and go to Get Info in the file menu. Right down the bottom is where you have to change the permissions. Under ‘Ownership & Permissions’ change this from Read Only to Read & Write. Click the small triangle next to Details, scroll down and click on ‘Apply to enclosed items’. You will be asked for your root password. Close the get info window, and now click on the VIDEO_TS folder and do the same. Close the Projectname-TS Files folder. You have now allowed yourself to change the properties of the contents of those folders, which leads us to the next all-important step.
    Open myDVDedit. Go to File and open the projectname TS Files folder. By all means stare at it shock and awe, but don’t bother finding out what it can do, except for the following:
    Top left you fill see a list of files. Lower centre you have a large window. On the vertical menu to the left of that, click te middle one (VTS or VMG).
    In the window at the top left, ignore ‘First Play’ (if there was anything to correct in that, myDVDedit will have done so and told you).
    Click on VMG Menu en (English). Now the whole thing springs to life.
    Set Coding Mode to MPEG-2 (if it isn’t already)
    Set Standard to PAL (or NTSC if that is what you want)
    Set Aspect to 16:9 (not any of the other options)
    Now save the file.
    Click on VTS Menu 1 en (English) and repeat as above.
    Click on VTS Menu 2 and repeat as above.
    You have now permanently ‘fixed’ the entire contents of the TS folder (the disk image) in 16:9 aspect. Close myDVDedit – you won’t need it again until the next project!
    If you have Roxio Toast, open it. ‘Select DVD-Video from VIDEO_TS’. Choose Select from the main Toast window and select your projectname-TS Files folder. You are now ready to burn! You can set the burn speed (2x recommended) before the burn commences. Allow Toast to verify the burn before you eject the DVD-R disk.
    If you don’t have Toast, then I assume you can burn the projectname-TS Files folder (disk image) via Disk Utility. I say ‘assume’ only because I have never tried it that way.
    Either way, you now have a DVD which will play as 16:9 widescreen on any TV set, even the old ones where you can’t ask it to letter-box.
