Video wont fill upp entire screen when looking at TV

I just cant get the aspect ratio correct. Ive searched everywhere (entire internet) f
or an answer but cant find it. This is not a specific AE-question but I have the same problem there.
Im trying to create a video slideshow that will run on a TV, plasma and LCD. I have the TV connected to a PC with Windows and the resolution in Windows is correct, it fills the enture screen. But when I play my video with Windows Media Player I get black bars on top and below of video and it looks a little fat and squeezed.
Im using 1280 x 720 and it looks good when I look at it on the computerscreen but not on TV.
How do I fill it?

Thank you. I figured it had something to do with square/non squa
re but I dont get how I translate the info that stands on a page like the one you linked to.
If I have a project that has 1280 x 720 in size, what should be the correct setting if I want it
to be shown on a TV with square pixels?
Is this something I can do outside AE or do I have to import the video (.MOV) to AE and change the composition there?

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.

When I make a mis-stroke screen images balloon up to fill the entire screen. how can I return them to normal?

I don't know what I do to make the image blow up. They don;t fill the entire screen, but fill up the normal-sized screen. This has happened on two sites. How can I get them back to normal.

Is this on Android or on the desktop? On Android, try double-tapping to zoom back out. On the desktop, to reset zoom, try Ctrl+0 (that's a zero).

How to set a background image to fill the entire screen on any device in a spark mobile application

Hi,
I started developing a mobile application with Flex.
I'm trying to set a background image to fill the whole screen. I've been stucked at this point for days now. I tried everything and no solution seems to work for me.
I'm using a TabbedViewNavigatorApplication and i need to set some background images on views.
I need my image to fill the entire screen on any device. i don't need to mantain image aspect ratio, just need it to be fullscreen. This seemed to work when setting a custom skin on the TabbedViewNavigatorApplication, however this blocked all my views for some reason and all components contained in view became invisible.
Can you please tell me how can i achieve this?
Kind regards,
Dan

Basically you need a larger image which can accommodate any device. The trick is to show only what each device can display, so therefore some clipping will occur based on device. Have something centered and towards margins have a gradient or just plane colors that way the stuff in the middle will be visible on every device while nobody will care if you are clipping from the color fill.

The picture from my AppleTv on my Samsung LCD TV doesn't fill the entire screen. It is only a strip across the screen

The picture on the screen when viewing movies on Apple TV on a samsung lcd screen is only a strip across the screen and doesn't fill the entire screen. Any settings suggestions?

If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

Enlarging a Window To Fill The Entire Screen

This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61474 says that Option + click on zoom button should enlarge a window to fill the screen. It doesn't. It enlarges in a way that is somehow proportional to the content but it won't fill the screen.
Does anyone know a way to expand a window to fill the entire screen?

Yeah. Isn't it though?
If you're interested in the prescribed behavior here is the link to the Human Interface Guidelins for OS X:

Look in the Windows/Window Behavior/Resizing and Zooming Windows section for more info about standard state and user state.

My safari screen suddenly fills my entire screen, and there is no right hand corner button to push to manually shrink it. What to do? I can never even exit the program without quitting it.

My screen when I am using Safari suddenly fills my entire screen, and there is no right hand corner button to push to manually shrink it. What to do? I can never even exit the program without quitting it.This has happened only within the last two days.

Try changing the screen resolution.
Go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Displays.
Change the resolution. Whatever numbers are shown, e.g. 1280 x 960, select a larger one. The larger the number, in the resolution the smaller the display on the screen. You can keep changing this till you find the resolution that suits you.

How I can get Safari to fill my entire screen?

I don't know why, but all of a sudden Safari only fills 1/2 of my screen. I am assuming I did something wrong, but can't figure out what it is. Any suggestions on how I can get Safari to fill my entire screen?
Thank you.

You may have clicked the green button, but in any case just drag it to the size you want using the bottom right-hand corner of the window.

My force quit window fills the entire screen. How can I resize it? I have iOS 10.7.5.

Click the "Green" button?
Or, Click and Drag the Lower-Right-Corner.
I've tried both on a Mac OS X 10.7.5 Lion system, and they both affected the Force Quit dialog box.

After my software was updated, all fonts were minimized. Web pages condensed and not filling the entire screen. Can anyone help me?

After a software update, all fonts were minimized especially on the tool bars. I cannot restore them to original size. Web pages were also minimized and do not fill entire screen. Any suggestions?

Visualizer not filling the entire screen

Hello everyone,
In iTunes 10 I have noticed that when I use the iTunes Visualizer, it only uses maybe a quarter of the screen at the bottom left. I do not have this problem with any of the other visualizer, only the iTune Visualizer. This only happens in full screen mode.
Any why is when i esc out the visualizer full screen it keeps the visualizer but just filling the iTunes screen.
Anyone else having this problem or have a resolution?
Thanks!!!

I've not seen this - it goes full screen for me provided that option is checked in Preferences>Advanced. Possibly you should update to 10.6.4, though that's a guess.

That's normal. Escape gets you out of full screen, menu View>Hide Visualiser stops it altogether.

Firefox is filling the entire screen so that the controls are off the top & bottom of the screen, & I have to log off the computer to get out of Mozilla.

Usually, there are controls at the top & bottom of the screen, & I can log off whatever program I'm in, but now Firefox is filling the whole screen: I can go from one tab to another within Firefox; however, I can't get out of Firefox without logging off the computer.

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the title bar and status bar do not show.
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Youtube videos lag/freeze on full screen when mouse is inactive, but only in firefox.

I absolutely HATE IE, so I hope we can find a solution to my problem.
Pc info: Win 7 64 bit, 2.9 pentium with 4 gig ram
video: radeon HD 3800
Three days ago I was infected by some malware. While i had it i could not watch videos on youtube in full screen unless i constantly moved my mouse. I uninstalled the malware and it didn't help. I reinstalled videos card drivers (even tried the new beta drivers), firefox, adobe flash, java 32 and 64 bit, and performed these steps: http://techlogon.com/2012/06/04/flash-player-crashes-in-all-web-browsers/
I've reset Firefox, emptied cache in Firefox, and manually deleted all program temp folders I could find. Also, I have disabled all add-ons and plugins, and even ran Firefox in safemode. Nothing seems to work.
There may be a few things I've forgotten that I've tried.

well, in windows safe mode, it seems to play the video in full screen without the mouse moving, but while playing (normal or full screen) it either restarts the video several times or straight crashes the player.

How do I display the entire image by default in Photos app instead of filling the entire screen?

A lot of the images that I have stored on my phone are taken with another camera. Whenever I view them in the photo app they don't show the full image until I pinch them. Is there a setting that shows the entire image by default? Don't want to be pinching every photo and when other people view my images they often don't realise that there is actually more to see.

Yes, this is terrible. I am not showcasing the otherwise fine screen but my carefully framed photos. How arrogant from Apple to violently zoom to my pics.
This needs to be addressed ASAP! Everyone please give feedback http://www.apple.com/feedback/
