Video distortion at bottom of screen

I have just completed my first attempt at creating a DVD with Premiere Elements 9 but somehow I eneded up with a small line of video distortion that extends all the way across the bottom of the screen. It's only about an 1/8" line but it appears throughout the entire video. Does anyone know how to get rid of that?

VHS to DVD through ADVC 110 - Distortion at bottom of screen & more ?s

Hi everyone, I've searched through most of the discussions, which have helped a lot, but haven't had any luck finding a few answers. So here we go.
I am converting about 20 hrs of old home movies to dvd. I want to edit out a lot of the boring scenes so I plan on using iMovie 06. I bought an ADVC 110 to convert the analog to digital (I have been using RCA cables for video but it doesn't give the greatest video quality so I am going to try an S-video cable) and I run it into iMovie 06.
1-When I watch it in iMovie there is some distortion at the very bottom of the video and I'm not really sure what to do about it. I've heard of people having this problem before, but I'm not sure how they resolved it.
2-When I have clips in iMovie, where are those files saved on my computer?
3-I plan on making multiple dvds in iDVD. Is there any suggestions on the best way to do this. If I import in DV format and edit in DV format (in iMovie) how long, or how large, can I make the videos before I import them into iDVD so that they will fit on a DVD?
4-Do you have any other recommendations to make before I dive in?
Thanks everyone for your help!

First of all you have got the right equipment for the job - exactly the same as mine, and I had 60+ hours worth to convert!
Make sure that playback from the VHS is as good as it can get: clean the heads, and run the tapes on fast forward/rewind to remove any 'stickyness' before you start to copy.
Make sure you have enough spare capacity on your hard disk. DV streams run at 13GB per hour, and iMovie uses a lot of swap files. Don't even start this unless you a minimum of 25GB free!
If your VHS has an S-video output socket, well and good, as not many have. That only covers the video, so you will still need the RCA cables (white and red) for the audio.
The Canopus does of course have to be connected to your Mac by firewire.
1. That distortion is the timeline on the VHS video, which you never see on your TV. Once you have it all on DVD you probably won't see it on your TV either. iMovie reveals more of the actual video frame than a TV does.
2. Save the imported video in 5 minute clips, or your project file will bloat as you start editing. The clips (video) are stored within the iMovie project folder, the one in your Movies Folder with a star on it. When you come to editing SAVE THE PROJECT OFTEN - every two or three edits.
3. When you have finished editing (and try to keep each project to under 90 minutes, although 60 minutes will give the best quality) save the project and close iMovie. Open iDVD and start a new project. From the File menu in iDVD choose Import/Video. That opens the Movie Folder and you can select the project you want to work on.
When you have done what you want to do in iDVD (Theme, Titles, Chapters, Transitions etc) save the project, then 'save as Disk Image'. Why? Because rendering the video, particularly the audio, takes ages, and you only want to do it once. You can actually burn to a DVD from the disk image, so if you want more than one copy you don't have to wait for it to render each time. Also, you can play the disk image in DVD Player to check everything is OK and therefore not waste a DVD.
Post back with your next set of questions - if you are new to this there will be more!
Personal advice: experiment with a short 15-30 minute project, just to get the hang of it and build up a workflow you are comfortable with, then just go for it!

1280x720 Screen Video Distorted

Dear readers,
I have the following problem:
1. I recorded a screen video with an inexpensive software at work and want to edit it in FCE HD. The resolution is 1280 x 720
2. The files created are avi files and I use skysoft converter to convert them to 1280 x 720 .mov files.
3. I import them to FCE HD and when looking at the inspector, I see that the resolution is 1280 x 720.
4. When I drag them into a new sequence (720p as project setting and sequence setting) I get a letterboxed view in the canvas, leaving left and right with black stripes. I can only correct this by distort the image and set aspect ratio to -38 and then scale the video again.
Why is the video distorted, although the aspect ratio seems to be the same? What am I doing wrong? I want to create the video for youtube and viewing on the computer.
Any help appreciated! Thanks a lot.

Sorry for the bad question! I found that the screen resolution of the monitor where the files were recorded initially was set to 1280 x 1024...

I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Getting flicker at top and bottom of screen - should I crop or zoom in?

Hi all, this is related to another thread I have here but I wanted to ask specifically...what is better...cropping or zooming?
I have just finished editing a long production in 16:9 and have been monitoring the edit process on a 16:9 television.
When the finished product is watched on the 16:9 tv, there is no flicker evidentat either the top or bottom of the screen.
When watched on a 4:3 television in letterbox mode, naturally the top and bottom edges are exposed and this presents some flicker at the top and bottom extremeties on some shots.
I can get rid of this flicker on the edges without re-editing time-consuming scenes by either zooming in a fraction or cropping the finished video top and bottom by a factor of 4 using the motion settings.
I have monitored the cropping method on the 16:9 screen and you cannot see it until it is cropped by a factor of 5, and of course on the 4:3 screen the cropping method will only mean there is slightly more black top and bottom on the letterbox effect.
I guess zooming in to get rid of the flickering will mean the quality of the picture degrades a little so cropping would probably be best.
Is this your opinion as weel?
Thanks in advance.

I guess zooming in to get rid of the flickering will mean the quality of the picture degrades a little...
Yes, any picture re-sizing degrades the original.
... so cropping would probably be best.
Yes. To avoid losing anything, you could always only crop the shots from the camera that has the flicker (might take a while).

Blue and white G3 video distortion

just wondering if anyone has ever seen this before...
someone gave me a blue and white G3 and it turned it on.. started up no problem...
i shut down the computer, opened it up, added ram, and started it up again... when it gets the the "starting mac os x" screen the video looks like it's been through a paper shredder. i figured it was bad ram or something so i put it back to the way it was just to see if it still had the same problem. i continued to get this kind of video distortion until i reset the PRAM.
so basically, it doesn't matter whether i start up from the hard drive, a mac os x cd, or a mac os 9.1 cd... same distorted video if the computer has not been started up while resetting PRAM. every time you restart it, you have to do it or you get the weird video.... anyone familiar with this? it's really strange.

it's weird.. because this is the stock ATI 128 rage card that comes with a G3 and i'm using it with the 15 inch studio display flat panel (the really early one, that is the same colors as the G3). i'm not using any adapters to connect the display. no matter what i set the resolution to, it always does this when i restart. only when i reset the PRAM will it actually look normal. even if i boot a CD without resetting the PRAM i get the same video distortion... is there some weird issue with this display and this video card? doesn't seem like there would be since this display was released during the time that this G3 was the top of the line apple desktop...

Clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view

I wonder why, if I put a youtube video in full screen and I click on another app WHILE THE VIDEO IS PLAYING all remain this way. On the contrary, if I first stop the video, clicking on another app I get the video automatically returning to normal screen view... This is very annoying. Is it possible to avoid this?
Thanks

Sorry, Mozilla doesn't support the patent-encumbered and royalty-encumbered H.264 standard, they support the OGG/Theodora and WebM free open source standards.
Microsoft has a H.264 plugin for Firefox, but it is for Windows7 not WinXP or Win Vista. <br />
http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin
There may be other H.264 Firefox plugins out there for WinXP, so do a Google search. Or maybe contact support for that DVR security system and see if they know of or have a Firefox plugin.

I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

Hi j2399123,
It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files

And for screen recording specifically, there's

Whenever I attempt to watch a video of any sort full screen on Firefox my screen turns white but I can hear the video playing.

When viewing pics or videos in FireFox, when screen is enlarged to full screen, page turns white. While I can still hear audio, no picture. I have seen similar posting in problem questions, but solutions have all been closed out.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have same problem when watching web video and going to full screen it turns white. Audio is still good. If I hit escape all goes back to viewing the video okay.
It occurs in Firefox 6.3 & 6.8.3, Internet Explorer 8, and Google Chrome. Windows Media Player WILL go to full screen okay.
I wished I could submit 2 pics: one of video and 1 of the white screen. But I can't so I'm just sending the white screen pic

How do I get Javascript to work? It is enabled in options but nothing happens when I select something that begins "javascript" on the status bar at the bottom of screen.

When I tried to download a file from the Canon U.S.A, I clicked on the "I agree - begin download" button and nothing happened. The information in the status bar at bottom of screen, when the mouse cursor is over the download button is "javascript:downloadFile()". I got following from the error console -
Error: The stylesheet http://www.usa.canon.com/wsss/GeneratedPages/wsss_xsl/global.css was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
Source File: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/i_series/i950_series?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware
There were also many warnings about parsing of commands.
This sort of thing seems to happens whenever whenever javascript is involved.

I checked out the "Unable to download or save files" section. The only thing that seemed applicable was the "Reset download actions" section. I renamed the mimeTypes.rdf file to mimeTypes.rdf.old but it didn't seem to have any effect on downloading the file I wanted. There was still no response when I asked for the download.
I have noticed another problem that occurs when I try to download this file. I exit Firefox, then try to restart it. But nothing happens. I have discovered that in the Task Manager that the Firefox process is still running. When I end the Firefox process in the Task Manager, I am then able to restart Firefox.
By the way, I am able to download the file using Internet Explorer without difficulty.
