Video Resolution and monitor setup

OK, I need a little help here because I can not get what I want. I am running a gaming system with MSI Plat. K9A2, with 8G gskil ram @1066, timings 5-5-5-15, 2.1v, two saphire 4870 1g cards, crossfireX via dual HDMI. CCC 9.7 for 64 bit on 64 bit Vista Prem. The monitors are ACER H233H with a max resolution of 1920x1080. I am basically only using widows video config. and CCC. I am set to extend my desk top. If i try to run 1920x1080 it crops around the image by abour 3/4 of an inch. The same for both monitors. I can run both at 1650x1080, full screen without a problem. color is 32bit. 59-60 hz is the refresh rate. I have tried to force the config. for full screen 1920x1080, but still get the cropping or the 1920x1080 monitor pushes the windows tool bar off the screen along with any icons that are left side of the primary monitor. All drivers are up to date at this time. I have tried ccc with full enable gpu scaling, no change. I have tried the setup with maintaining aspect ratio, scaling image to full (where it is set now) and using centered timings, no change. I can not change the scaling options slide bar or check the box, the slider is all the way up to over scan (which may be the problem), but i can not change it. The OSD H-position and V-position for each on monitor control is 83 and 3 respectively. The screens are set at full, If i set them at aspect I get cropping of about 1 inch on the right and left side of each monitor. DDC is on, and ACM is off. Under the regular settings for color management I can no change the V.position and H.position, they are set to 0. Any thoughts? I am well powered and well cooled, so that is not a problem. Thanks in advanced.

Thanks guys. There's no issue with playing the video when launching it direct in Windows Media Player. Its just when launched from the DirectShow API. We've now got a 3rd party looking at that API and have a temporary fix.
So for future reference there are no specific problems with the rendering, codecs or resolutions, but there may be an issue with applications that launch high res media on to a 2nd monitor with the DirectShow API.
thanks

Video resolution and dual monitor assistance

Trying to set up a show running on a windows XP Pro PC with dual monitor (ATI HD3870 card) so that videos run using Windows Media Player (or maybe something else if needed?) on the second monitor (actually a large projector).
The videos are synchronised to DMX lighting using software so can't just be run from a DVD.
All the videos have been developed using HDV anamorphic PAL 25fps footage but are rendered out using Premiere CS3 at 1280 x 720 (to keep 16:9 ratio at the highest resolution the projector/card (plus VGA extender cable) can handle.
The videos can be launched quite happily on a single monitor system at this resolution and in any format (WMV, AVI, etc). The videos are launched via software using DirectShow (this is 3rd party software). BUT, when outputting to the second monitor the video playback doesn't work at any resolution above 720 x 576. It works fine at 720 x 576, but obviously when projected the image is way smaller than we need.
Note that Windows Media Player will play higher resolution files on the dual monitor but not in full screen mode.
So, the question is where does the problem lie and how can we fix it? Can Windows Media Player not run higher resolutions in dual monitor mode? Do we need a specific graphics card to handle this? Is Windows XP an issue? (PS we had the PC running Vista previously but found that the TMM module in Vista was affecting the screen resolution settings). Do we need to render out of Premiere in some specific way? Has anyone got any experience of something similar?
Thanks!

Video Resolution, and Windows Reset?

Two quick questions.
1. Where, if possible, can I set the settings for the videos resolution (i.e. 16:9, pixels, ect)
2. Is it possible to reset all the windows to their default opening layout and size? (I screwed up something on my timeline so now only half of the horizontal slider bar is showing until I click on it)

From the menu: Window>Arrange>Standard.
This will only reset the Layout.

Change video resolution and get it to be full screen? How..?

Ok, so i got this small video clip i want to be in 720p. The "problem" is that its current video/image size is 640x480, and it is black on its left and right side. HOW do i edit the video so it gets full screened (and thereby stretched too) and in 1280x720 size? Like, when i play the video in media player and full screen it, it will be full screened WITHOUT those black tiles on the right and left side?

But does either of you know the answer to my other question about the fullscreen? Like, when i go into fullscreen in my media player, there should not be any black lines on the left or right. I see many tv-series that works like this
It's all in the maths. Your monitor Aspect Ratio is 1280 ÷ 720 = 1.78:1 (the norm for most commercial DVD's) also known as 16:9. Your video aspect Ratio is 640 ÷ 480 = 1.33 (the norm for traditional TV screens) also known as 4:3.
If you have a 'semi-intelligent' modern widescreen TV you will often find that 4:3 programs look distorted because your TV has stretched the image to ensure no black bars top and bottom. You then have to manually switch, with your remote, the aspect ratio to 4:3 to make the image look normal - but this then leaves black lines left and right.
But the entertainment companies know that consumers want shows that fill the screen without black bars. To do this for older shows they artificially zoom the original to take only a portion of it. But they take that portion in a 16:9 ratio. It looks good on TV BUT, and a big BUT at that, you have lost some of the original image. They are also doing this with feature films.
Two examples that arouse my ire:
'The Wizard of Oz'. Originally filmed in 4:3 (most films before, around 1957, were). But go to any video store and you can buy a widescreen version. But there never was a widescreen version of that film. All they've done is cut a 16:9 segment out of each frame and, figuratively, thrown the rest away.
'Original Star Trek'. You can buy this in widescreen, or watch the TV widescreen version. But there never was a widescreen version - they are cropping it to 16:9 and throwing the rest away.
You can usually tell if a film/show has been cropped: there will be many examples (frequently of close ups on peoples faces) where the top or bottom of their heads don't show.
So to (finally) answer your question: to Share your video in a widescreen format you must crop your clips to a 16:9 frame - job done.

Using s-video with 2 monitor setup

I have the stock video card that came with my G5 and am running 2 monitors. I would like to connect my TV to my Mac through s-video but only know of the DVI to s-video adaptor that would require the removal of one of my monitors.
I am aware that I may need to purchase an additional video card to achieve this.
What card should I get for this purpose?
Is there any other way?

A production company in my city gave the files to me, but I don't know with what software they are recorded.
When i check the files in Gspot (http://www.headbands.com/gspot/v26x/index.htm) they are OK, it founds two MPEG1 layer2 stereo audio pairs.
Also, if I play the files in VLC i can choose from Audio Track 1 and Track 2.

Unsupported video resolution

I changed to an unsupported (by my monitor) video resolution and now I can't see the screen. How do I change it back?

I believe if you reset PRAM, it will revert to a default setting. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242 & http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US

How do I change video resolution.

I have Number-Nine S3mini driver. The bios is 86C357. I can't get the depth of color, nor can I get the higher resolution.
Any suggestions ?
Pranava.

Pravana,
You can use these 2 commands to attempt a change in the keyboard/display mode comfiguration:
Login as root
#kdmconfig -u
#kdmconfig -cf
You will see a menu driven configuration screen to set the resolution and monitor type/model.

Mouse pointer is unchangeable at 100% scaling in multi monitor setup with different resolutions

Hi there, I have been asked by one of the moderators of the Windows 8.1 forums to post this topic here. You can see the thread relating to this post here
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-tms/cant-change-the-cursor-pointer/ae8ad8a0-3ded-4810-a3be-794f6c4830a4?msgId=2bd7082f-f5d1-4b01-8c70-e0d2a754d66f&page=1<o:p></o:p>
The problem: The mouse pointer becomes unchangeable in size, type, trails etc when 100% scaling is used. As in it reverts to the standard small white non-inverted, no trails,
no shadow 'pointer', no matter what options you select in the 'Mouse' control panel settings.<o:p></o:p>
This appears to be a scaling problem with the Windows 8/8.1 display, not an actual mouse problem. Judging by my own and other peoples experience it seems to happen mainly with multi
monitor setups where different screen resolutions are used. The issue occurs typically when 100% scaling for all monitors is used or this option is un-ticked and the 'change the size of all items' is on smallest (equivalent to 100%). <o:p></o:p>
If the scaling is set to 150% or greater the issue disappears and the mouse pointer becomes fully functional. Also bizarrely when the scaling is set to 100% if the screen is recorded
using a screen capture program, the recording of the screen shows the mouse pointer selected in the mouse options and not the default small white cursor that is present when recording it. Here is a link to a video where I explain and show the problem
happening on my system. http://youtu.be/xs2cxoeaq-A<o:p></o:p>
I have every update installed without exception, latest drivers etc. I use a 55" 4k screen with 2x1080p monitors in portrait on either side. All are connected through 1 Nvidia
GTX 780 6GB graphics card<o:p></o:p>
Hope you can help us<o:p></o:p>
thanks<o:p></o:p>
Jon M<o:p></o:p>

Hi Jon,
I'm looking into this issue but it will take me some time to provide a reply.
In the meantime I noticed that you have 3 monitors with 1x 55' and 2x27' - please have a try to only connect 1x27' monitor and see if issue persists.
Also please try to change the screen resolution to a lower size and see if issue persists.
Both suggestions are not solution, I just would like to know if it is related to multiple monitor or screen resolution.

Dual monitor setup with seperate resolutions

hey guys!
i currentley run thye latest version of archlinux with the cinnamon desktop environment and an nvidia geforce 7300SE graphics card.
im running a dual monitor setup with one 27" 1920x1080 monitor and one 27" 1024X768 monitor
because they have the same physical size they line up perfectley but because the resolution is different programs/mouse cursor movement doesnt, is there any way (without changing the resolutions) to compensate this effect so that in the eyes of linux/cinnamon the monitors line up so that for example dragging a window goes seamlessley between the 2 monitors.
i HAVE found out the panning option in the nvidia x server settings, but that really isnt what i am looking for...

A magnifier following the window down to the pixel, zooming to the exact size of 540 pixels the 384 pixels window could create an illusion of just that. It would be highly impractical however, not mention all the hacking time. Even if you would manage to get two screen with different sized icons, so that they match visually, the windows and fonts resizing on the fly, wmctrl might help with windows alone, no their themes (buttons, borders thickness etc.), you would still be left with a visually differently sized mouse cursor. Technically such a feat should be possible, but who is going to code it? Nvidia?

In dual monitor setup firefox 9.01 menus blink in and out

Every version of firefox AFTER the 3.6 series has problems in dual monitor setups and I want to be able to keep all tabs I had open when I close firefox so when I open again they are there. In dual monitor if I use monitor 2 for firefox (which is the way I use it) the menu blink rapidly when I click on them and make very hard to navigate. What is it with the video setup in win7 I have to use an older version of winamp due to tearing in the second monitor? Have all you companies not fully learned who to implement dual monitor setups properly or is that not really a concern?

Firefox doesn't always play well with a multiple monitor setup and hardware acceleration.
Try to disable hardware acceleration.

Dual monitor setup and intel help

Hello
I am trying to set up and dual monitor setup here, with a monitor and a tv, the monitors resolution is 1680x1050, the tv's resolution is 1360x720, which results in that the desktop will have an resolution on 3040x1050.
When I try to do this with GNOME's xrandr gui, I get this:
required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3040, 1050), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920)
When looking in the motherboards manual, it states that each out of my graphics card can do a resolution of 1980x1080. Is the intel driver missunderstanding something? Since both the dvi and hdmi output only delivers 1360x720 and 1680x1050, 3040x1050 is only an virtual resolution.
Any suggestions?

Find monitor instance name , device name , resolution and frequency of multiple monitors (VGA and HDMI)

hi,
In my system multiple monitors are connected (VGA and HDMI). In need to know the
monitor instance name , device name , resolution and frequency of each monitor.. any solution?
i used wm class 'WmiMonitorConnectionParams' to determine Video output technology connection type and InstanceName.
But i didn't get the device name , resolution and frequency of each monitor.??
There are other wmi class like :
WmiMonitorBrightnessEvent
WmiMonitorConnectionParams
WmiMonitorRawEEdidV1Block
WmiMonitorListedFrequencyRanges
WmiMonitorDigitalVideoInputParams
WmiMonitorAnalogVideoInputParams
WmiMonitorID
WmiMonitorBrightnessMethods
WmiMonitorBasicDisplayParams
WmiMonitorColorCharacteristics
WmiMonitorDescriptorMethods
WmiMonitorListedSupportedSourceM…
WmiMonitorBrightness
WmiMonitorColorXYZinCIE
WmiMonitorSupportedDisplayFeatures
WmiMonitorBasicDisplayParams
Win32_VideoController
Win32_VideoConfiguration
Win32_VideoSettings Win32_DisplayControllerConfiguration
Win32_DisplayConfiguration
But unable to determine monitor having its corresponding values? please help me to find a solution .
is there any other method to get multi monitor details?
thank you

Hi sumith,
I read some documents about WmiMonitorConnectionParams class, it should be able to get the video putput technology by the D3DKMDT_VIDEO_OUTPUT_TECHNOLOGY enumeration.
D3DKMDT_VIDEO_OUTPUT_TECHNOLOGY enumeration
So what happens when you are using WmiMonitorConnectionParams class? What prevent you? Anyway, please see a example of using WmiMonitorConnectionParams class, maybe you could get some hints on it.

Video (VLC and Quicktime) lags when other monitor is turned off

I have a mac mini running 10.6.1 with a dual monitor setup (mini dvi to dvi, and mini displayport to dvi). When i have a video running in either vlc or quicktime on one of the monitors and i turn the other monitor off, the video begins to lag every 3 seconds.
Any ideas what i could do to fix this?

Apparently something was up with my monitor connection. It was pushed in all the way, but when i took it out and put it back in the problem was fixed.
