Strange Video Resolution Issue

Ok, here's the problem: I have a Mac Mini hooked up to my 42" plasma TV via a DVI/HDMI converter. Everything works fine, except that, when I'm viewing video content *during download* (movies, TV) from the iTunes store, if I try to display in *full screen mode* I get a big black screen with a little, tiny video window in the middle (other, non-full screen modes work fine, but I want full screen so that the background is blacked out, etc.) Once the download is complete, I can view everything just fine in full screen mode, or in Front Row. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and if there's anything to do about it? I'm perplexed, and my wife is not amused.

What Sony deck?
You might not have a PLAY THRU option selected on the deck. I know the DSR will do this if you mash remote control buttons.
The reason it works when capture is that the deck is sending OUT to composite/component directly. When you watch from FCP it is converting the digital signal from FW to an analog-ish signal back out the composite/component plugs. Apples and Oranges. BUT - should be a simple menu option.
Good luck,
CaptM

QT video resolution issues from Apple podcast server

My video is low res. 7.6.6 on OSX 10.5.8 has disabled the media settings. I have tried to change the settings for "instant on" but it keeps defaulting to the on position in the medium range. I tried to re-install 7.6.4 but while the player shows that it has been properly installed when i go to the QT pro registration it is still showing that it is 7.6.6. QUESTION How do I re-configure QT pro for my firefox browser so that I get the proper resolution (I don't want to upgrade to the newest OS yet.

"Instant On" setting is for "streaming" media:

It has nothing to do with the video resolution.

Strange audi sync problem & different, stranger video sync issu in sequence

I have two strange occurances with one particular set of media that was downloaded from the same original source mini-dv (recording in dvcam) tape. I have not found the same issue on any other footage.
1) when the media is imported into FCP, the audio is out of sync. it is slightly out at the beginning and then gets progressively worse.
2) when this footage is used in a sequence, the video that show in the sequence is not the same as the video that is exported when this sequence is exported as QT movie (or any other export option) Like the audio the video out of sync gets progressively worse.
- The original media is perfectly in sync looking at the digitized source ie: in Quicktime. There is no audio out of sync problem.
- the only difference I could see in the file was that this media is 3.5mb data rate whereas all the others are 3.6mb.
- other tapes from the same camera do not have a problem
- I do all my downloading from a firewire deck and not from the camera
- I upgraded from 6.0.1 to 6.0.4 (as did the QT 7.5 upgrade also) to see if that fixed the problem but to no avail.
Very perplexing. I managed to work around this problem in a sequence whos deadline was looming by manually slipping the footage in the sequence the required number of frames. This is where it also gets odd. I was able to do this by
- double click the clip in the sequence which then loaded that into the viewer.
- position the playhead at the beginning of the clip
- from the canvas select the go to position in master clip option which then loaded the masterclip into the viewer. the position in the masterclip was always the correct frame (ie the frame I expected to see as per my edit). The frame showing in the canvas was also the correct frame (but this would not be the case when exported)
- the next thing i did was to use the slip tool, as soon as i held the slip tool over the sequence clip, the frame in the canvas would be the wrong frame (the frame i would see when I exported).
- then i would just carefully slip the sequence clip back to the matching correct frame. So watching in the viewer, I would align the frame that showed in the viewer to the frame in the canvas.
When done the frame showing in my sequence would be a completely different frame but when exported, the frame that I expected to see would be the exported frame.
I could find no logic to the amount I needed to slip each time (I am sure there is logic but I couldnt figure out what that was). the clip at the end of the footage needed to be slipped -10:09, and this got progressively smaller to the clip at the beginning of footage needing to be slipped -:16
Hopefully that wasnt too confusing.

btw, i have tried recapturing the footage and i have offlined it, copied it to another location and onlined it in the new location to no avail. still have the sync and video in sequence issues.

Still Having Video Resolution Issues

After latest software update only able to get 1024x768 with a couple of annoying lines of distortion on left side of screen. Xbox 360 and new Sony media player can be adjusted to use screen to full potential. Would sure be nice to be able to adjust video on Apple TV 2. Family really likes ATV2, besides this video issue.
Make: Panasonic
Model: TH-50PHD8 (plasma)
Connected: HDMI to DVI input (w/ HDCP)

HDMI>DVI conversion is not supported by apple.
But the problem is not with DVI (HDMI to DVI is no conversion, the video signal is the same) but with the implementation of the HDMI specification Apple is doing with the ATV2. Other devices with HDMI to DVI cable or adapters are working, so it must be possible with the Apple TV 2. There is even no need to support DVI only TVs, it will just work when the HDMI specification is fully implemented. And the more it should work if those affected TVs support HDCP over DVI. Even Mac OS X recognises my TV (it shows Philips FTV in the System Preferences in Displays) and is offering the possible resolutions for my TV (480p, 720p, 1080i, and some more). I sent feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/ 2 times already, explaining about my TV and the possible resolutions and refresh rates.
I still believe it is possible to solve all those resolution problems with the ATV 2 via firmware update, and this will also include those with DVI only TVs, even without the need to specifically support it. There are so many articles in different threads here about various problems with the connection of the ATV 2 to different TVs, even when there is only HDMI involved.

Create a DVD | Video resolution issue - HD or FullHD

Hi,
I created a new project selecting PAL and AVCHD 1920x1080 16:9 25fps video. The original AVCHD video in FullHD is 9GB.
I now have to create a DVD and end the project selecting to burn it on a 4,7 GB DVD but wish to preserve the FullHD if possible.
When selecting the option to burn the DVD I get in the drop down menu 4 selections being 2 for NTSC and 2 for PAL: PAL and PAL Widescreen.
Obviously as the project is 16:9 I should select Widescreen but I do not know if I will end up having the video in FullHD.
Here are my few questions:
1. how to be able to burn a FullHD video project into a 4,7 GB DVD if i do not see any FullHD selection in the drop down menue for DVD category? Is this because DVD category does not manage FullHD?
Reading through some manual I believe that it is AVCHD the selection I should use, rather than DVD. Is this correct?
Also, what resolution would Pal Widescreen record?
Lastly, how to find out which resolution i now have the project being burned on this DVD?
2. If I know that my project in FullHD is bigger than 4,7 GB DVD what should I do, when I create a new Premiere EL project, in order to get the best resolution? Should I select still AVCHD but HD resolution even if I will not know if it will be sufficient?
Can someone please share with me what is the correct discernment to use for preparing a new project and/or handling the video settings for getting the properl DVD result?
Thank you

>find out which resolution the project being burned on this DVD

A DVD made to play in a DVD player, not a BluRay "hybrid" as Hunt described, which requires a BluRay player, may NOT be HiDef... only Standard Definition
As far as I know, NTSC is 720x480 (with a PAR flag to determine regular 4:3 or widescreen 16:9 playback)
I do not know the exact size of a PAL screen but since you mention PAL, you should be able to find out the screen size for your part of the world

Video playback issues in Air for Android

Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,

Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

Macbook Pro 15" Retina Windows 7 HDMI Resolution issue

Hello,
I have a late 2013 Macbook Pro 15" with Retina display running bootcamp with Windows 7.
I have connected the Macbook to an external HP w2448hc display using HDMI interface.
When booting to OS X 10.9.4, the resolution of the external display is set to 1920x1200 and it looks fine. See picture below:
However, when booting to Windows 7 the resolution on the external display looks lower (although shows up as 1920x1200):
I have another PC which I have connected to the same display with HDMI and the resolution also shows up as 1920x1200. However, in this case the resolution indeed looks as the correct one:
Although not seen very well from the screen shots, both the PC and the Macbook Pro (with Windows 7) show the same resolution in the settings, but the desktop and icons under Macbook Pro (bootcamp) look bigger and with smaller resolution.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi,
I managed to fix this resolution issue by lowering the color depth to 16bit for the external display. Not exactly sure why was this necessary, maybe for some reason Windows cannot allocate enough video memory for both displays?

Screen Sharing (video resolution?)

I have tried Screen Sharing both to a bigger monitor and a smaller one. Sharing to a smaller monitor seems problematic because the mouse becomes hyper sensitive. It's near impossible controlling the mouse. Sharing to a bigger monitor the mouse works great, but the image is smaller and at times barely readable. I suspect this is a monitor-to-monitor resolution issue and am wondering if there is any work around or fix for this problem. Thank you.

Hi,
In iChat Menu > Preferences > video section set the Bandwidth at both ends to 500kbps as a starting point.
You could go as low as 200kbps as Screen Sharing is supposed to come in lower than this.
The Open the Connection Doctor during a Chat (Video menu)
This will tell you the Bit rate from your end and the Buddy's
Move the Bandwidth up at one end and see when the Buffering settles to a new speed (bit rate)
Adjust one end at a time allowing for the Buffering to work until you have the highest setting you can at both ends with a decent pic.
iChat 3 and 4 was capped at 1.5 Mbps by the Quicktime Streaming setting (System Preferences > Quicktime).
This setting is not there in Snow Leopard and iChat 5 "sees" all your connection speed.
If you and your Buddy have vastly different Upload speeds (the deciding factor) there can be issues with the iChat Buffering.
This applies to Video chats as well as Data intensive Screen Sharing.

Cannot Change Video Resolution in Youtube

When I try to change the video resolution in YouTube, the screen goes black and it automatically goes to 240p regardless of the resolution that I choose. It will play the video so long as it remains in its default resolution i.e. 360p or 240p. I also have Chrome downloaded and it has no issue changing between video resolution so I am assuming it is an issue with Safari. I reinstalled Flash and I tried resetting the computer but had no success with either of those attempts. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dan

Thanks dschinkal! When I view You Tube clips on Safari and click the resolution adjuster to increase it (say, to 720), the screen goes black and I have to click refresh in order to reload the page. After which, it plays again at a low resolution.
This has happened since I bought my new iMac 27" a month ago.

Two video cards issue

Any fix for the "Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth" when having two video cards issue?

Now, the strange thing is: after a few initial issues one of the macs is doing fine. The second one, on the contrary, is a nightmare. Finalcut gives a green screen of death and hangs up suddenly while performing simple operations (like dropping a clip on the timeline).
I'm thinking of trying to replace the two video cards with an older single dual display card, and giving up the fancy lcd monitors (that i bought at vast cost), at least until apple issues an upgrade that adresses the two video card problem. <
If the machines are mechanically equal, it's obviously not the cards. Although you can only be absolutely certain if you swap the cards between machines and see if the green screen issue follows one or both cards.
However, that new LCD display and card combination doesn't have much time in the pipeline so there could be other issues and you're doing the beta testing for all of us. Blaming the reseller is pointless; no one can keep track of all of these issues. We only find out about them only because of reported failures.
You should research the "green screen" here on the forum. I do not recall if there are display or graphics cards issues associated with it. That seems unlikely. IIRC, it appears to be a QT issue.

OS X Mavericks: display randomly turning white/brown/grey [no resolution issues]

Hey folks,
I discovered a very strange problem the last few days while using the internal and an external VGA Monitor on my Macbook Pro (mid 2010, 8GB).
I'm running on OS X Mavericks with the latest updates and the system runs pretty smooth.
What I discovered is as follows:
Using any VGA monitor that I own, sometimes both (internal and external) display turn white (or grey or brown, just displaying a solid colored screen). This occurs with literally every display I used externally and doesn't occur while just using the Macbook Pro without an external display. This didn't happen before on Mountain Lion, neither did it happen the first weeks on Mavericks (I've been using it since it's released). After this happening, I have to do a forced reboot. This issue does occur randomly within the daily usage.
Furthermore, I don't have any resolution issues as many user claimed about this already while running OS X Mavericks.
From looking at the system I can tell that the RAM is not damaged (also because this doesn't happen while using the MB without external display). I also tried other RAM, issue remains reproducible.
I haven't found any solution on the internet, so I decided to post my problem here.
Hope there is anybody out there who might be able to help me out.
Yours sincerely

Video display issues with Mac Pro and GeForce 7300?

I'm just wondering whether anyone else has experienced any video strangeness with their Mac Pros with GeForce 7300 cards? Basically, twice now I've had the mouse cursor stop responding and the entire screen turn black, then a second later everything's back to normal (with the cursor moving and the display back). I seem to recall a similar issue on my Windows PC with a Quadro FX 1100 card, so I'm hoping it's just a video driver issue.
Bryan

I am not sure if its the monitor, the MP, or the video card, but, I have had my computer completely replaced after reporting to my local Apple Store about my G5 fans over heating and my monitor either not being able to wake or refusing to sleep. I called AppleCare and did all the normal trouble shooting but they said take it in to store. But now that I have a brand new MP 3.0 I am getting the same issue but no fan noise. I have a 23Cinima HD (the strore said it was fine when they had both my computer and monitor in) but last night after hours of inactivity the monitor had the screen saver on but didn't got to sleep. I then put in to sleep but when I got up this morning I couldn't wake it up. When I got my new computer (3 days ago) I didn't migraite any of my old stuff. I have been slowly reinstalling all my software and updated anything before I install anything else as an added attempt to not have any bad files. I have 2 gig of ram and 500 hd with the 7300 card. I am at a lost I checked and rechecked all my setting. The only other thing I have connected is my airport extreme base.
Any idea's anyone?
Ops one last issue, I have blown my apartment circut breaker three time while attempting to start the new PM and once it did it when I was trying to wake it just by tapping the space bar. Is it the computer being more power hunger?

Video Card issues in WinXP - Left 4 Dead

Just wanted to see if anyone was having issues like I'm seeing in these two pics.
This first pics shows what appear to be polygon regions appearing out of no where.
http://i44.tinypic.com/2v146ep.jpg
And this 2nd pic shows spikes that appear mostly out of characters but on some objects as well.
http://i44.tinypic.com/vqhafk.jpg
Usually when I start playing everything is fine but after a 20min or so they will start to appear. Changing some video settings in the game (such as anti-aliasing or resolution) will usually make them disappear for a few minutes but they will then re-appear. My best guess is that this is due to the video card overheating as it doesn't happen right away, but that's just a guess. I tried installing 'speedfan' to increase the fan speed but it does not seem able to control the speed on the video card.
Also, I only have the drivers that have come with the bootcamp installation. On the forums it seems that it is recommended not to install other versions of the drivers so I have not at this point.
I'm running bootcamp (windows xp 32bit) on my MacPro 10.5.5 / 4GB ram (quad core Xenon) with the ATI-X1900. I have the latest 2.1 bootcamp installed. The game runs perfectly beyond these issues, although I do get the occasional stutter or audio repeat.
I don't have any of these issues on TF2.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a possible solution? or does anyone know of a way to control the fan speeds in Windows? In OSX I use smcFanControl to keep the machine a little cooler.
PS. I also heard that some of the ATI-X1900 cards had issues. Can anyone confirm this? If this is the case, can anyone recommend another card for my MacPro? I do occasionally get video card issues in OSX too while doing 3d work.
Thanks for any help!

Upon inspection of the card it is totally loaded with dust. I found this article:
http://macsaregreat.com/?p=63
which has some pics and this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1265166&start=0&tstart=0
which discusses many issues as well with the X1900 and Leopard. I first started seeing issues with the card during my 3d work after I installed Leopard.
I'm off to the computer store to pick up some compressed air to try to clean that vent now. I already use smcFanControl already, before using it I was getting card errors every day.
Thanks again for the info regarding the dust on that card.
