The Quicktime 10.1 viewer adds black borders

Since updating to Lion, the Quicktime viewer adds borders to my pre-existing videos. No matter how I re-size the window the borders remain on the sides of my portrait aspect ratio videos. They played just fine (borderless) before upgrading, now the black borders cover other parts of my presentation. Anyone know how to make them go away. It's a shame that they would induce such an unelegant feature. Using Quicktime 7 for the time being, just moving the videos to the bottom of the viewing area to eleminate the controls. VLC player doesn't loop and won't allow me to drag for random sizing. Just gives me 1/2 full, double-sized, etc.

And what aspect ratio are "your" videos? Landscape?
Aha! Now I see what you are getting at. Still doubt this is a deliberately "added feature" but do consider it to be a bug introduced in QT v10.1. In my opinion it is likely due to fractional aspect ratios and is a problem similar to QT 7 pixel dimension problem when width is <348 pixels. Problem may be due to the fact that portrait views are still embedded as 1280x720 files (aspect 1.78:1) even though they are being displayed as 720x1280 (aspect 1:0.56). Have not run tests to determin an exact "break point" for bug, but have observed that all mixed number apects seem to display properly. You will also observe that as QT X switches to "Full Screen" for these portrait views, that the pillaring shrinks and disappears. Would definitely sugguest others report this in QT X feedback to see if it can be fixed.

Viewer Screen Black after Mavericks and Apertutre updates

Hello All, I have updated to Mavericks on my home iMac that is a few years old, and a new one at work that is 6 months old. Everything was fine and then I updated to Aperture 3.5. Now on BOTH machines, I am able to see all of my images in browser view fine. In split view the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen are still fine, but the main image being viewed is black. In full viewer the image is completely black. It will indicate loading, show all photo info at the bottom of the viewer, but load as a black image.I can use an external editor PS5 without issue. I have completed the three step for the library first aid. When opening Aperture, the image may flash on the screen for a split second, and then show as black.
Apple support only seemed interested in having me sign up for Apple Care, even though this is a software bug, so this left me a bit unhappy. As a photographer that really needs Aperture running correctly, I'm at a standstill and may need to move to Adobe as an emergency solution.

Weird it is happening on two separate machines. Was the library from one machine copied to the other? What camera and are the originals Raw?
Try making a new empty library and import a few images into it, what happens? If it still fails there try running as a new user or from the Guest account if you have that enabled. Start Aperture and add a few images to a new library, what happens?
Also try looking at one of the original files in Preview, is it OK there?

Large black borders arond Canvas View

I have footage imported from a Canon XH-A1 at 720 x 480, when I drag it to the Canvas viewer it displays with large black borders around it and any exports look the same. Looks normal in Viewer. Also must be RENDERED to be viewable in Timeline, which did not used to be an issue - something has changed, but I am not sure what!
Capture preset is DV NTSC 48KHZ, camera is not in HD or wide screen mode. Footage seems to look OK if I import it into iMovie HD, not my preferred editor due to the length of clips being edited.

Export adds black space to front of quicktime video

I have an iMovie I wanted to include on an existing web page so I exported it, selecting Quicktime and Export for Web. But when I view the movie in Quicktime, the first 6 seconds are a black screen!
Thinking I did not have the starting position right, I placed the start bar a few seconds into the clip and tried again. Again, 6 seconds of black, then the movie started where I indicated.
What setting am I missing? I've gone thru various preferences but cannot find anything. Why would I get this black space???

Hi Kobe,

You can make use of column properties->Horizontal Alignment = Right and Vertical Alignment=Top, But you have multiple requests in your report. The approach is to differentiate different levels and apply conditional formatting. Try this approach,
1. Click on the combined request so that you can see "Add Result column" option in the left pane
2. Click on "Add Result Column", in the column formula type in your time dimension column (if the column is in first posiiton type saw_0)
3.Again Click on "Add Result Column" , in the column formula enter : case when LENGTH(saw_0) > 5 then 2 else 1 end
Here LENGTH(saw_0) > 5 will return only month records (i.e)200901,200902 etc
4.Now click on column properties of the new column added in step2, goto conditional formatting->Add Condition ->Select the column added in step 3 ->
Case when LENGTH(saw_0) > 5 then 2 else 1 end = 2 then format -> Horizontal Alignment = Right and Vertical Alignment=Top
This will indent the month column to right. This will work when exported to pdf.

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

I plugged my macbook pro into an external monitor, then unplugged it later and now it is stuck with black borders on top and bottom and zoomed out like it is still on the monitor. How do I fix it?

I started using my external monitor with my macbook pro and as soon as I plug it in it to the monitor it adjusts the screen by zooming out a bit and creating about 3/4 of an inch black borders on the top and bottom of the screen. But these dont show up on the monitor so I assumed it was fine. But when I took it off the monitor, the borders were still there like it was still on the monitor. Any hellp? Its starting to mess with my eyes haha.

Hi aefulcher,
It sounds like you had the external display set to mirror the internal display so the resolution(s) were changed to match each other.

Change value of a control in a list item new or edit form depending on the page level view Add New Item being clicked.

I have a list which has a underlying infopath form for insert and edit a record.
The list has various views spread across different pages .
Now depending on different pages "New Item", a value for the form will have a corresponding value.
If there is a single line of text control in the list, and depending ona page name, the value for the single line text should be autofilled when Add new item is clicked.
How do i achieve that?
Thanks...

Hi,
According to your description, there are several list views in your list, there is a textbox control which holds the “Single Line of Text” type of data in your custom
form. When users click the “Add new item” button in one of the existing list views, you want the textbox control in the custom form to be populated automatically.
By default, when user clicks the “Add new item” button in a list view, the URL of the custom form page will contain the name of that list view page, thus, a workaround
which requires custom code can be like this:
After the form page loaded, we can extract the name of the list view page from the URL, then populate it into the textbox control immediately. This can be achieved
using jQuery.

I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

GT60 3K IPS black borders around the screen on lower resolutions

I've got an MSI GT60 with 3K IPS display and GF880M and although it's a very powerful machine it sometimes isn't fast enough to play the games with the native resolution on high details, therefore in several games I wanted to lower the resolution to get a better experience. However this is where I have a problem, because if I change the resolution in-game what usually happens (80% of the games I've tried) is the screen is getting smaller and I have back borders around it. This is kind of frustrating and I wanted to ask if you know any way of sorting out this issue. I'd like to be able to play a game at 1080P for example but have it stretched to the whole screen.
Some of the games I've observed this behaviour:
1. L.A. Noire
2. Assassin's Creed: Black Flag
3. Far Cry 3
4. Max Payne 3
I've tried lowering the Windows resolution prior to opening the game but it makes no difference. I've also looked at the nVidia Control Panel because some of the versions of the drivers had the option to stretch lower resolution to full screen but in the latest one I couldn't find it.
As the result of this I'm feeling a little frustrated that although the notebook itself is one of the most powerful ones available on the market I cannot play it the way I wanted and I begin to think paying extra for the 3K display was a mistake a I should've gone with the 1080P version. But I hope there's a fix for this issue.

I've found a workaround but it's very annoying as I have to apply it everytime I launch a game (or if I accidently alt-tab back to windows desktop).
1. Run the game and let it launch with the back borders
2. Ctrl+Alt+Del and go to desktop (don't Alt-Tab, it won't work)
3. Open Intel Graphics properties, change the resolution to 3k, apply changes, than change it back to 1080P or whichever you like and mark the Desktop Stretching option. Apply changes.
4. Back to the game and the black borders should now be gone.
It's a workaround, not a solution. I'd really like that MSI, nVidia or whoever is responsible for this behavior find a permament fix.

How can I remove the black borders after draggin in a M2TS file?

I record gaming videos with my HD PVR and the output of the file is M2TS. Everytime I drag it in Premiere, it will show small black borders at the top and to the right of the video. I knew how to do this in Vegas but am clueless on how to do it in Premiere.
The M2TS file is 1280x720

See if this helps...

There are two part when installing WebEnt.. The first one is the web server part where it installs the fortecgi.exe or other web server components. This should be installed where the web server is going to be running. This is usually not you development server. The second part is the http library and web designer part. This should be installed on the development server. The http library need to go through a install of its own to make it part of the central environment. After that all the developers will have access to the http library and all they will need to do is install the Web desinger part.
Hope this helps.

Can I rotate a video without having the black borders?

Hi, I shot some movie on my camcorder. I had the camcorder at a right angle at the time. When I rotate it on imovie11 I am left with black borders either side. How can I remove these? I'd really appreciate some help asap with this as I am editing the project right now.... Thanks in advance!

Hi
Please - no offence - no irony in this at all - just bit of lack of phantasy (in my department). BUT
If You don't like it scaled up to fill sideways and You don't want black borders.
Is it stretched sideways You want . Short fat people and all scaled just sideways - or.
What do You want and wherefrom would that information be retrieved that should fill the black borders ?
What's not recorded can't be created magically as far as I know.
So I guess that You need to explain much more how You think it should look and with what material it would be created.
