Video looks all "squished" and 16:9 creates boarder all around

Hey,
Thought I had this problem fixed. I am trying to export a clip I captured in FCP 5.1. I shot this footage in 24p Advanced with the DVX100. Well it looks squished and it creates a boarder all around instead of creating black bars at the top and bottom.
In my video settings 16:9 anamorphic is checked. I had this problem fixed originally but it now has returned. Does anyone have any ideas?
Chris

Captain,
Getting this problem in the canvas. The video looks widescreen there (the window to the right) and when I try to export via "Export with Quicktime Conversion" it exports it the way I described. Squished to 4:3 and creates a window boarder all around.
My settings has Anamorphic checked so it should look 16:9. When I export it it looks all screwed up. Someone once told me a couple of days ago I needed to have it checked which I now do and everything worked great, now it doesn't. What gives?
What else would I need to do?
Chris

Tecra A6-EZ6411 - Video picture is squished and made black and white

After a recent update to Windows 7 I am having an issue with viewing pictures in Windows picture viewer and watching netflix videos. I can watch and file on my computer without issue. I can also view a picture in paint.net or any other picture viewing program. I can watch Hulu or any other cable company site without problem. What happens is the picture is squished and made black and white.
So the first thing I tried was uninstalling silverlight and then reinstalling. The next thing I tried was booting into base mode, uninstalling all nvidia drivers then reinstalling the latest driver available. Neither of those fixed those problems. Weird thing is when I first boot into base mode and the resolution is 640X480 the pictures look normal in Windows picture viewer and when I try to watch a video on netflix it looks normal. Only when I change the resolution to anything else does it revert back to the old diplay of a shrunk black and white view.

Install Win7 again, disable automatic Win7 updates and every time when you get message about available updates install important updates only. Before you start update installation check the list and be sure nothing strange will be installed.
My notebook also has NVIDIA graphic card. I still use original recovery image with Toshiba driver and everything works well.

Looking for BOM and Routing objects created with a BAPI

(I ran this one up the flagpole in the data forum and didn't get any responses. Maybe someone here has see this phenomon?)
I'm invoking BAPI_MATERIAL_BOM_GROUP_CREATE from an external Java program. I believe my code matches the example I find here and in the SAP documentation (transaction BAPI). When it finishes, I get a successful return (type=I, number=000), and a message of "BOMGroup 00000070/TAM1/1 has been created. External reference:" But I can't find anything back on the SAPGUI - the material number still says it has no BOM (on CS02); I don't see any new BOM Groups (on CS06). By the way, the "00000070" number seems to be assigned by SAP: I t increments each time I run my test, so I must be doing something; the TAM1 in that message is the plant, and the "1" is the BOM Usage I assign in my BAPI (both in the BOMGroup structure and the MATERIALRELATIONS structure). I do a commit transaction at the end too, although the BAPI to create the material created it without me doing a commit, so I don't think that was necessary.
(Update since I posted this on the other forum: I tried to create a routing and have the same result - 000 message number, and a message including an SAP-assigned number, making me think I've created an object, but I don't see it anywhere. Any idea which tables I can look at to find them, and maybe see what's missing (e.g., with SE12 or some such)?)
Any thoughts on what I AM creating? Or some little thing I'm missing here?
Thanks for any insight!
Thomas.

Video Looks Slo-Mo and Low Shutter

I shot on P2 cards at 720p and the footage from my first card (in the timeline, the viewer and in QT) looks like it was shot slo-mo at a very low shutter speed (it's dark and jittery). The other 8 cards I shot are fine. Has this happened to anyone and does anyone know of a solution?
Thank you.

If your other footage was 24PN, you need to do a pulldown removal from the other footage. Otherwise you'll be putting 29.97 footage in with the 24PN footage. Either the 24PN will appear too fast (if you have a 29.97 timeline) or the 24p footage will look like slo-mo (if you have a 23.98 timeline.) It seems like you have the latter. Do a pulldown removal on the 720p footage.

Just done a fresh install of Snow Leopard with all updates,iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately, I believe its related to overheating ?

Just done a replacement of the pata DVD drive (its new and is working ok), and a fresh clean install of Snow Leopard with all updates, iMac 5.1 behaves strange, sometimes I start Google Chrome and look at youtube videos the computer freezes and shuts down immediately,

iStat Pro shows GPU diode temp at 66 C, CPU at 48 C, Fan rpms is around 1000
Any ideas somebody ?
The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds

I have restored this

TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works
Why is my computer slow?
Fix any and all issues in software following this list of fixes
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
Then follow this defrag method I've outlined
How to safely defrag a Mac's hard drive
Most commonly used backup methods
There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.
Hope this assists.

HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard). However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore. HELP!!

Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

How do i share media (music and videos) between all of my devices?

i currently have (and attempt to use as much as possible) the following devices: macbook pro 15", ipad 4, iphone 6 plus 64 GB, and appletv 2.
i would love it if these devices would talk to each other correctly. first came the macbook, and i took an internal 2 tb drive cannibalized from my previous pc and transformed it into an external. that drive is desinated as my media drive, it includes all of my video and music. the macbook and the appletv talk to each other flawlessly. every music and video file on that drive is accesible to me using apple tv.
next up is the ipad, which includes some of my videos (movies), but no tv shows. music also does not show up, only options to buy from the store. but i already have a music library that includes many songs downloaded from the store that dont show up, only some stupid U2 album that i never downloaded.
finally, we get to the iphone, which i just got. i get no shared music or videos here at all.
by the way, all settings are set to share with each device in settings and itunes. each device talks to one another. i know this because there is some level of sharing on each device (ie ipad gets videos, iphone shares spreadsheets and other productivity files. appletv shares everything. i now want to sync these devices so that they can share the same data while on the same home network. i should be able to do this, right?
also, i know that i can airdrop/transfer but thats not really what im looking to do atm.
thanks

im more than a little disappointed here. can anyone recommend another forum please?

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

I have Pages 09 and I have created a business card using the template but can't figure out how to duplicate it to the other 9 on the page Am and sure I am going to look daft coz its only the click of a button but I can't work it out Thanks

I do the following: Hold down the command key and highlight all the items to be reproduced. Then hold down option and drag the items from the first to each subsequent card.

ALL flash videos looks pixelated, win 7 or 8.1, ONLY with firefox

Latest firefox version, latest adobe flash player.. Had cleaned cache and preferences of both Firefox and Flash Player.. two different machines with different hardwares and SOs, no luck!
With Google Chrome all videos are ok. It's like the difference in this two images: http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/computer-chip-super-resolution-640x353.jpg
Firefox's WEB images are GREAT but all videos looks pixelated as the left picture.. had compared the same video with Firefox and Chrome opened side-by-side.. :\

Hardware acceleration ON of OFF didn't make any difference.. honestly I never saw anyone saying they see any difference switching it..
Of course with a higher resolution (720 or 1080p) there's less pixelation, but with other browsers there ain't such issue..

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

Quicktime video looks different in Firefox and Safari, is there a fix?

My full problem is described in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4451761
but to keep it simple, my immediate issue is that Safari and Firefox are displaying my video differently. Firefox appears darker and Safari appears brighter. With my monitor set to a gamma of 1.8 (default for OS X) Firefox looks perfect and Safari looks washed out, and with my monitor set to 2.2 (Windows default and all-together better looking) Firefox is too dark and Safari is perfect.
All I want to know is WHY they look different and how to fix this.

Thanks for your response. While this may work with audio and video originating from your own computer it doesn't seem to effect audio and video viewed from the Firefox 5.01 browser which uses a QuickTime plugin. Audio and Video viewed from Safari and Firefox 3.6.19 work fine which leads me to believe the QT plugin and Firefox 5 browser are not working correctly.

My Video look blurry and Pixilated in Premiere Elements 10

I am starting to work on a new video using Adobe Premiere Elements 10. I just purchased a new Toshiba Satellite L855 laptop. It has an Intel Core i5-2450M Processor running at 2.5 GHz. I have 6 GB of RAM and over 500 GB of free space. I am running Window 7 with 64-bit operating system. The files I am placing in my video are MP4 Video (.mp4), MPEG Movie Clip (.MOD), and Video file (.wmv). The videos look great when I play them on my computer, but when I import them into Adobe Premier Elements 10, they are blurry and pixilated. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I'm not sure, but I think I know the answer. And, I have a very similar computer.
Is there a red line above the time line? There should be when you are using multiple file types.
When you start a new project you asked for a "project preset". PrE10 uses that to make preview video for the editing process. If there is a mismatch between your preset and the first clip you bring into PrE10, it asks you to change so they match. With three file types, it can only be right for one. When you bring in clips of the other two types, PrE10 has to "preview render" in order make the monitor previews run smoothly. It does not do that automatically. It puts a red line above the clips that need it. Then anytime you press the Enter key, it will stop everything and "preview render" your content. It can take awhile. But, after that, your preview should look better.
You didn't say what the target output will be. When you work through to the Share menu and select what you are going to make, PrE10 goes to work doing a "final render". That's because what is needed for a Blu-Ray is different than for a DVD or posting to YouTube is different than making video for a website. The "final render" starts all over and uses you project as markers and paths to your original clips. It goes though frame by frame and makes new frames using the "final render" settings. And, it can take its time doing it!
Unless you buy a super computer, you may have to put up with a little less than perfect in the preview window. The real test is how the final output looks on the device you want to use as a viewer.

Deleting the uncompressed video file once m2v and aif have been created

When I create a dvd then close the project.
I then later delete the uncompressed video file captured from tape.
I reopen DVD studio pro and it tells me that it cannot find original file.
I tell it to used m2v encoded file as new video file and aif encoded file as new audio file.
But i am then given an error message and these two files disapear.
Can anyone help me out. Surely i should not have to keep the original captured video file for every dvd I want to make. The idea surely is that once DVD studio pro has made m2v and aif files then the project should be able to use those to create any further DVD of that project.

I've still never seen any problems with a single video track and uncompressed audio.
I won't argue that it never happens to anybody, of course, but I've made DVDs for a lot of people, and usually the only problems I hear tend to be a problem with their brand of player not being able to recognize the media. Those are relatively rare and almost always has to do with cheaper brands of DVD players. If they can get it to start at all, I haven't heard of any trouble with playing the whole thing.
I would like to know if that's the problem I had with trying multiple video tracks, though. DVDSP would refuse to even finish the build. It would start to mux, then partway through, say the bitrate was too high and abort. It was a long time ago, but I would've been using uncompressed audio and probably fairly high bitrate video (3.2Mbps, possibly even 3.5). Seemed stupid to me; I would've thought the muxing would be a smart enough design so that only the video and audio tracks in use at any given time (one video, one audio, one subtitle) would count toward your maximum allowed bitrate.
But that brings up another point you guys might try. I heard people mention 3.5Mbps. I use 3.2, and I don't see any noticeable difference in the quality of the video. But switching from uncompressed audio to ac3 definitely is a noticeable (downward) difference, at least using the stock Dolby 2.0 encoding preset included in DVDSP4 / Compressor 2 and a standard stereo (2-channel) source. I did several different tests where I encoded the audio both ways and burned a test DVD with multiple audio tracks, switching between them to compare. Even normal conversations on the ac3 (Dolby 2.0) track sounded quieter and less dynamic, and there was (naturally) an even more noticeable difference in any kind of music.
So you might give that combination (3.2Mbps video with uncompressed audio) a try in the future, especially if you're picky about the audio. If that fixes the problem, I think it's a reasonable sacrifice since the audio difference is more severe. Basically, if you're doing a professional enough job that the difference in video between 3.5Mbps and 3.2Mbps is important, then you should already be doing a professional 5.1 audio encoding from individual channels anyway.
BTW, I have my 3.2Mbps labeled "120min", since that's about what I can fit on a DVD with uncompressed audio. My other often-used settings are 2.8Mpbs for 135min (three hour-long TV episodes with commercials cut out), and 2.0Mpbs for 170min. (And I can't remember for sure, but the 170min may even be a slight overestimate, so be careful of cutting it too close if you use those settings.) I usually don't even notice a video quality difference with 2.8Mpbs, though I have only used that with a less-than-pristine source anyway, so the lower bitrate isn't the bottleneck for quality in that case.

Video looks all "squished" and 16:9 creates boarder all around
