Video With Incorrect Aspect Ratio

I am currently using EyeTv and exporting the video to itunes using the apple tv preset since I want to use itunes as my video library manager. When I watch it in itunes it appears that it is trying to fit a 16:9 aspect ratio onto the 4:3 monitor, but it plays correctly when watch it using quicktime. Is this a bug, is there a different setting I need to use, or do I have to export the video using different settings. There wasn't an issue using using the 7.5 version but even after the 8.0.1 it still is there. Any ideas? Thanks.

Just learned to export from eyetv using the h264 setting and upgrading to handbrake 0.92

  • 16:9 Apple TV export playing with incorrect aspect ratio in iTunes.

    Hi, I've exported a 16:9 PAL movie from FCP using 'Export for Apple TV' which plays fine in Quicktime (1024x576 m4v file), my problem is when I import it into iTunes it changes the aspect ratio to 720x576. If I 'show in Finder' and play the iTunes import using Quicktime it plays fine (1024x576).
    So it seems a problem with iTunes?
    If anyone else has fixed this problem I'd love to know how.
    Many thanks,
    Dave

    For anyone interested...
    I've been in contact with Elgato http://www.elgato.com/elgato/int/mainmenu/home.en.html
    regarding this as they are part of this issue.
    They have confirmed that there is a bug in the latest releases of iTunes that is causing the problem.
    They have been communicating their information to Apple but have had little response to date.
    Maybe we'll get a fix when Apple could be bothered.

  • Recapturing and replacing edited clips with incorrect aspect ratio

    My camera settings were wrong when I captured the video. I edited the clips and discovered my mistake later. I changed the settings and my video looks correct now. The timecode runs perfect on the tape without a break in time. I tried renaming the clip after recapture but the scenes did not match up right. How can I match the timecode during capture. Hope this makes sense.

    My sony hdr-hc1 outputs video with black bars when I record in HD but capture with a 4:3 setting in the TV type setting within the menu. I had changed the setting to SD 4:3 for a different project and forgot to change it back to 16:9 when I captured and edited it. I couldn't find out what was wrong until later. I changed the TV type to 16:9 and it fills the screen now. Even though I recorded in HD which is native 16:9 the TV type setting must match. I think it's pretty crazy myself. Any help on changing the clip out would be great.

  • Help with setting aspect ratio

    Could someone please help me with an aspect ratio problem. I have just updated to iMovie 6 and want to work with an existing movie project created from iMovie (version before the ilife 5 version). On opening the project in the new version it is in widescreen and I would like to convert back to a regular format (regular display format) I would be most grateful for any help
    Thankyou

    Well, I guess I thought the video in Motion needed to look more rectangle (16x9) than square (4:3). Since it did in FCP. And my FCP sequence setting>Aspect Ratio says NTSC DV 3:2
    I am used to working with plain MiniDV 4:3. I shoot with Sony PD150. I don't understand or never had to deal with Aspect Ratios. This project they wanted a widescreen look so I switch the camera to 16x9.
    I don't think it is the real 16x9 but like I said I don't know about this stuff or why my camera has 16x9 on in if it is not the real thing.
    Feel free to comment, I am trying to learn

  • On Mavericks: Wallpapers with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, if set to "center", will either format as "fill screen" or "fit to screen". Help?

    If I select a custom wallpapers with an aspect ratio of 16:9 or 16:10, if set to "center", will either format as "fill screen" or "fit to screen".
    With other aspect ratios, center works as supposed to.
    Ideas?

    In general this script should work:
    mov GPRM0, SPRM14
    and GPRM0, 3072
    Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 1) (On) if GPRM 0 = 3072)
    Set System Stream St(Subtitle Stream 2) (On) if GPRM 0 != 3072)
    Jump Track 1
    The value of 3072 is returned when 16:9 value is stored in SPRM14.
    However some players may disregard this script as they might look for the presentation information in IFO files or in the video stream itself.
    The better approach is to flag one subtitle stream as 16:9 and the other as 4:3 in DVD After Edit if you have an access to it.

  • Need camcorder with an aspect ratio greater than1,920x1,080 format.

    Some years ago, I saw an ad for a Canon camcorder with an aspect ratio greater than the standard 2:1 ratio (1,920x1,080) format.  It boasted a true cinemascope format (16:9?) Is there something like that available today? Or do I have to go to a professional unit? Thanks for any help.

    Hi ridgerider,
    Thank you for posting.  The 1920 x 1080 resolution that our current camcorder models shoot at is a Full HD 16:9 aspect ratio resolution.  There is no need to move into a professional level model to get Full HD 16:9 video, unless a more professional level model is something you are looking for.

  • Does LR handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?

    Does LR 5 handle a dual monitor setup with different aspect ratios (16:9 and 16:10)?
    I'm planing to buy a 27" 16:9 monitor and use it as primary together with a 22" 16:10. Does any have any idea?
    Thanks

    Moreover, the two monitors can have completely different characteristics.  As always, you really need to calibrate/profile any monitor (with a hardware tool - Spyder, Colormunki etc).  That's no more important with two monitors, but you see for sure if you don't, as two dissimilar monitors will then probably look different.

    There will be a set of Landscapes that that have a narrower aspect ratio the 1960:1103 that would also need the top and bottom cropped like all Portraits would could be.  You need to realize that center cropping Landscape image that have aspect ratios near 1960:1103 will usually produce acceptable compositions.  However Cropping wide panoramas and portraits will only produce acceptable landscape  1960:1103 composition occasionally.
    Here you will see what happens when image have aspect ratio the do not fit the desired aspect ratio.  Where Landscape  are forced to portrait and portrait forced to Landscape.  Here are two Collage I populated with a mixture of image  with different  aspect ratios.   One collage has all 3:2 Landscape places and the other 2:3 Portrait places.
    I create a 1 image 1960x1103 collage 72dpi and create those too. Note the landscape boy foot is cropped off 3:2 is narrow compared to 1960:1103

  • HT1338 I have a problem with the aspect ratio of photos as they appear on iPhoto.  They are not correct.  On the original photo people were fat and squat.  I tried rotating and they became long and narrow.  Neither correct.

    I have a problem with the aspect ratio of photos as they appear on iPhoto.  They are not correct.  On the original photo people were fat and squat.  I tried rotating and they became long and narrow.  Neither correct.  Any suggestions?

    Sounds more like a problem with your Display Resolution than iPhoto.
    Go to: Apple / System Preferences / Displays and in the Resolutions list select,
    1280 x 800 if you have a 13" MacBook Pro
    1400 x 900 if you have a 15" MacBook Pro
    1920 x 1200 if you have a 17" Macbook Pro

  • How do i transform a layer with maintain aspect ratio through scripting in Photoshop?

    Hi,
         How do i transform a layer with maintain aspect ratio through scripting in Photoshop? I am expecting your reply.
    thanks,
    Rajiv.s

    I don't think your talking apples to apples.  First I do not know of any Maintain Aspect Ratio icon in Photoshop. The only icon I think associated with transform is the anchor point icon in the option bar for transform. I think you may referring to the constrain check box in the image size dialog which you can check when resample is checked. Image size effect all layers in the document and the documents canvas size. The document canvas size will be changed to the values in the images size dialog and all layers will be transformed by percentage the canvas was changes while maintaining the layers position over the canvas and the layers I think may be cropped so only pixels over the canvas remain.
    I do not know if you know that layers can be any size and have aspect ratios different then the documents canvas.
    In your case it sounds like your describing a template that has a canvas size that is 2000px wide be 3000px high a 2:3 portrait aspect ratio.  Your image file has a landscape aspect. If you place that image into your template place would by default transform the image so the image would fit within the 2000px by 3000px canvas size there would be a white border top and bottom.  You could transform that smart object layer to it actual pixels size activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(100,100, AnchorPosition.MIDDLECENTER); then calculate the size you want to transform its height to. By retrieving the canvas size and the layers boundaries. Divide the canvas height pixel size by the layers pixel height size should give you the percentage you need to use. Make sure you set the ruler units to pixels so your working with pixel values for the canvas and layer size values. The resulting layer will be larger then canvas size keeping the anchor point centered will result in the canvas size masking off both sides.  In effect cropping you landscape to a portrait.  Note cropping a image from one orientation to the other changes the composition drastically.
    If your trying to make a composit like collage you may want to look at my Photoshop Collage Toolkit it will fit images to fill a 2000px by 3000px area http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.html
    You could also do centered 2:3 crop that is resized to a 3000px

  • Has anyone else encountered a problem with poster frames not recognising a video's pixel aspect ratio

    I'm discovering a strange effect with some of the .mp4 videos I've upload into iBooks Author. They're Pal SD 4:3 .movs with a 16:9 pixel aspect ratio and they play out fine on the iPad. However the iBooks software seems to be ignoring the pixel aspect ratio of the poster frame. This leads to the situation.
    1) When I drag my video into iBooks author all looks good - the video is 16:9 and if I choose to set a poster frame (or leave it at default) it looks 16:9 in the iBooks Author.
    2) I preview my book and it opens in iBooks on the iPad. But now the poster frame aspect ratio is 4:3
    3) I click on the video to start playing and it immediately jumps to 16:9 aspect ratio and plays out fine.
    4) If it scroll down a couple of pages and then scroll back the video poster frame has now reset itself to 4:3
    This sounds like a bug to me. Anyone else had it? Do you know if it's possible to report bugs without having a Developer licence?
    Thanks for any help
    Rob

    While there is no formal bug reporting method similar to what devs have w/apps, iBA does have a 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item.

  • Incorrect aspect ratio when importing MPEG-4 Video file to project

    My movie which originated from a commercial DVD, is a .m4v.ff.mov file.
    The "ff" is the software interface (ffmpegX) that converts third party Unix media.
    When I open it as a Quicktime movie it comes up in the correct 1: 2.35 aspect ratio.
    and shows an actual pixel dimension of 720 x 304.
    When I import that same file to FCP (version 5.1.4) it comes up as 720 x 480 pixels - a completely different aspect ratio. The viewer window shows the pixels to be a SQUARE format but it is grayed out.
    I was able to de-select the "show as sq. pixels" in the canvas window but it only expands it to what appears to be a 1: 1.85 aspect ratio and not the 1: 2.35 which it should be.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    i would greatly appreciate someone with the expertise to solve this.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I think I figured it out for myself:
    In the Viewer window go to the "Motion' tab, go down to Aspect ratio and move the slider to the left or right to adjust the width to height relationship.
    I have no idea why this is solving the issue but it does.

  • How do I get SD video (4:3 aspect ratio) to fill the entire screen?

    Any 4:3 video I stream has black bars on either side of the picture. I have a Samsung HDTV, and I can stream content using its own pc to tv streaming software and 4:3 videos fill the entire screen. Or if I play a DVD with 4:3 aspect ratio that will also automatically fill the screen. With the Apple TV I cannot make it fill the entire screen. Is this something to do with the signal being transmitted over an HDMI cable?
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so how have you resolved it?

    I know it is displaying 4:3 video correctly, however I'd prefer if there was some stretching (non-linear) so that it fills the entire screen. Having 2 big black bars on either side gets very annoying. There doesnt seem to be an option to fill the entire screen when streaming from the apple tv. There are options when streaming from Samsung's own software (I don't want to use samsungs pc share manager as the apple tv's user interface is much better).
    Are my options restricted because the signal is transmitted through an hdmi cable? Seems to be what other websites might be suggesting.

  • How to capture frames in Premier Pro to edit in Photoshop with correct aspect ratio.

    I am using Premier Pro and Photoshop CS5 in Creative Studio CS5.  I have read and understand several help articles on square and rectangular pixels used for various video aspect ratios.  I am using the camera button on the bottom right of the Program monitor to captue a frame and save as a jpg file.  When I open the jpg file in Photoshop to edit for a DVD disc cover using the Elliptical Marquee Tool with a fixed ratio of 1 to 1, the result is not the circular image I need but wider.  This must be an aspect ratio conversion that I am missing.  I have seen conversions that correct this by lengthening the height but the image is also lengthened and thus results in a distiortion.
    How do I correctly deal with this aspect ration conversion between Premier Pro and Photoshop without distortion?

    This is most likely a PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio) issue. With SD (Standard Definition) Video, you can have Standard 4:3 w/ PAR = 0.9, Widescreen 16:9 w/ PAR = 1.2, or a non-standard 4:3 w/ PAR = 1.0 (rounded PAR's for NTSC).
    In Ps, you have the ability to adjust the PAR, under the Image menu from the Toolbar. For use on a DVD, you would choose a PAR of 0.9 if you have Standard 4:3, or 1.2 for Widescreen 16:9.
    With the PAR adjustment, to match your Video footage, you should then be able to get what you want, without the distortion. Also, note that one can change how the PAR displays in Ps. By default, it will be Square Pixels, or PAR = 1.0, and you should get an info message that the display is not showing the exact PAR. This can also be changed in Ps.
    For more discussion on PAR, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3456609#3456609

  • Problem with pixel aspect ratio

    I searched but found no answer.
    I have several Maya renders which are at a resolution of 720x486 and a pixel aspect ratio of 1.2. I composited my image sequences in after effects interpreting that 1.2 pixel aspect ratio. I then exported a quicktime movie using no compression at 24fps at a resolution of 720x480 NTSC 16:9.
    When I import this video into Encore 2.0 It comes out as full screen. Not only is it full screen, but when I preview the dvd, the video is blurry with scan lines and black bars on the left and right side. The menu however, is widescreen (I used a template as a test)and perfectly clear. I tried to select the asset and go to file>interpret footage, but this option is grayed out. I have also tried exporting an avi from after effects and importing that into Encore. It still will not let me set the pixel aspect ratio. I have read that After Effects does not embed the pixel aspect into exported videos. I have also read that I should export mpeg2 videos for use in Encore, however I do not see this option in After effects or Premiere Pro.
    What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated. If I left any information out that could be useful, please let me know.

    (Ack, for some reason I typed "DVI" and really meant "DV")
    Thanks for the response. I don't really care if I preserve the 4:3 aspect ratio. Or does my GL1 not use square pixels and I just never noticed it? It's strange I've never seen this problem until FCE HD.
    I have tried exporting a number of ways from FCE, including Export > QuickTime Movie... and Using QuickTime Conversion... For the latter, I typically set it to export as 720x480. I always export as video. The final export contains video clips as well as still images within the video.
    I am a bit embarrassed having to ask this question. I've been working with still images in photoshop for over a decade and worked a lot with video during that time as well.
    Thanks again.
