Weird Video Squeezing Problem

Hello.
I'm having a weird video problem and I thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced it.
I'm running the MSI nforce board with an AthlonXP 1700+ with two Micron 256MB PC2100. Firmware 2.6. Windows XP Home Edition with SP1. I have a four-year old ViewSonic GT775 that I've always had good luck with.
I've been using the latest nForce 2.93 drivers since they came out and am running the 41.03 Detonator drivers. I've tried downgrading to the 40.72 with no change.
I run my desktop at 1024x768x32bit and what has started happening the past couple of days is that the image on my desktop will randomly squeeze in about a half-inch on each side. It will stay like this for a while and then randomly go back. It wouldn't be a big deal if it just stayed like this, but it randomly clicks back and forth. Changing the color depth or refresh rate does not affect it. Even shutting down and then restarting doesn't affect it. If it was squeezed when I shut down, it'll be squeezed when I restart.
Very weird. For now, every time it does it, I just use the monitor controls to resize the display, but it is annoying to have to do it. It seems like right before its going to switch, I'll see minor tearing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be my monitor? I do have another computer at work and I could bring the monitor home. My experience in the past with monitors is that when they start to go, the colors change and the brightness dims and then they just stop working. My monitor today is as crisp and bright as the first day I bought it, so I think it's the onboard video.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Your image resize problem sounds like a refresh rate problem to me. It looks as if your monitor cannot catch the correct refresh or follow the hi speed refresh you ask. It can come from either the board, the monitor or just a bad connection. I would tend to say the monitor, as it is getting a bit old.
Failures in monitor can come from diffrent parts. If it is the electron canon, you can see a lowering of the luminosity/contrast. Same for the high voltage grid. A problem on your deflection parts could lead to a color shift or distorted image. Here, i'd say it is a problem with your synchronisation signal. Try a degauss also. You may just have a shifty ground.

Weird video preview problem... frustrating!

Hi, I wonder if anyone else has had this problem... ?
I had a project that was working fine, but now I cannot watch a video preview by pressing enter or space. The timeline renders the preview then does nothing, just sits there. The play button in the program monitor changes to the stop symbol, just like it does when the video preview plays normally, but no video or audio is playing...
Please help!

MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR, Mouse problem & Video off problem solved!!!

I find the following information that I collected very interesting at the very least...
Here goes...
The video off problem that I was having was directly linked to the mouse. Here, let me explain the video off problem. In the BIOS Have the Standby mode set to S3. The problem occurred when I started windows, then went into standby, then started back up, then restarted the computer, the monitor would act as if it were in sleep mode, or rather there was no signal being sent to the monitor. Well the odd way I fixed that is by plugging in a standard 2 button PS/2 mouse. Also this fixed the issue with the mouse sometimes not working in windows.
Here is how I tested.
Logitech MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse, PS/2 & USB= failed.
Logitech iFeel Optical Mouse, USB= failed.
Microsoft Cordless Ball Mouse, PS/2= failed.
Standard Artec (Cheapy brand) Ball Mouse (With no wheel), PS/2= All issues fixed, and passed.
When I said failed I do not mean they didn't work, I mean they sometimes didn't work and also caused the Video off problem after restarting the computer.
Obviously it isn't the ports (PS/2 or USB) that are the problem, it is more like the mouse itself, and the amount of buttons in particular. As you can see above the only mouse that works correctly is the one that only has 2 buttons, the rest has 3 or more buttons along with a Wheel. The MX700 has 8 buttons + wheel, WOW!
Anyways I figure out it was the mouse, and not the memory.
Obviously MSI needs to make a patch for this mouse problem.
I'm still having a hard time believing that the mouse caused the video not to work, but it is true! I spend well over 5 hours testing this crap. Every time with the mice with more then 3 buttons it messed up, and every time with the 2 button old fashion mouse it worked flawlessly!
MSI, get to work on a new BIOS to fix this mess!!! :]

i used the ps/2 mouse in windows and the usb mouse when playing games.
you can get some trouble if you do it the way i did it.
i was in windows surfing and the pointer just jumped all over the screen.
when i looked on the other side under a table a friends little kid played with the usn mouse. )
bye
LOL, that isn't what I'm talking about.
There seems to be a problem with my motherboard accepting mice with more then 2 buttons. It works the first time, but if you restart the computer, the video goes off. If you have both installed, it still messed up.

'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8. [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems:
First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’
Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ] I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer. There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux).
Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

"I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8 camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
"Are you using Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
"Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.' However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
So, back to the Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

MacBook Pro 15" video card problems (i think)

Can anyone tell me if this is indeed a video card problem?
MBP 15" info (Dec. 2011)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
OS X Lion 10.7.5
This is what happened:
I use my mbp heavily because I edit a lot of videos with Premiere. I also use lightroom / photoshop alot + games. I also installed Parallels desktop late 2013. I don't know if that is relevant but anyway. Everything started late 2013 (a little after installing parallels actually) when there are moments when the audio wouldn't work and I couldn't adjust the volume. It would come back anyway so i didn't mind it. Then the fans were on high speed for little activity. After that the keyboard backlight couldn't be adjusted and wouldnt work. I ignored all of these cuz i wasn't troubling me at the time. In January i left for france to study - I use bike all the time and once stupidly placed my laptop on the basket going to school (rough roads). I had a class with html so I had to open Parallels, my teacher pointed out the fans and how loud they were. That day, parallels desktop said i must upgrade to windows 9 or it will restart every 2hours. I didn't of course. I didn't have time to.
After that (a few days later i think) my laptop would randomly turn into a black screen but it's still on (the power LED is on) I tried turning it off by pressing down the power button and then turning it back on. It worked the first time. During the first week, the frequency of it happening grew. It would do it almost 3 times a day. during that same week I tried to do an SMC reset. It fixed the keyboard light, fans and audio but not the black screen thing. It just keeps on happening around 1-3 times a day. It only happens when I'm using it btw, never when I just leave it. ALSO, after a few days, it would take longer hours to open my mbp again. I mean, the screen would turn black. i would turn it off, then on again. I will ONLY hear the hard drive moving but no startup sound and no grey screen and apple logo. nothing.
The following weeks after that, I asked a friend to help me out. He suggested that I install gfxCardStatus because he said it might be my video card. He instructed that I keep it on intergrated only. So I installed that and did what he said I thought it worked for a while because the black screens stopped happening (even when gfx keeps on going back to dynamic) BUT NOW, MY LAPTOP WOULD FREEZE (not turn black). I'd shut it down using the power button but it still takes me hours to open it again. Sometimes, I'd wait for the battery to drain because it would startup when i charge it (sometimes)
I tried doing AHT as well to confirm the video card problem, but the results are no problems found. I really don't want to replace my logicboard here in france. everything is more expensive here. ;__;
Today I uninstalled parallels to see if that might have had anything to do with my problem now but i think that's just wishful thinking.
Can somebody tell me if this is really about the video card? Thank you

Your appointment at the genius Bar in an Apple Store (anywhere in the world) for an evaluation is FREE, in warranty or out. Those guys put their hands on these Macs all day every day, and they are especially good at Physical and Power problems.

Weird video display in FCP but normal in QT

Okay, this is getting really tiresome now. Final Cut Studio has become weird on an Intel Core Duo iMac. When the symptoms first appeared FCP would not launch at all. It would quit on startup with a window to send a report to Apple. On that occasion I trashed and reinstalled the entire FC Studio.
Following this the application opened so I assumed everything was OK. But then I went to import some AVCHD clips and FCP displayed the video with some weird looking semi-negative, metallic crappy special effects look. So ... I replaced the OS and reinstalled FCP Studio. Everything worked OK.
Now, a day later, I go to import some more AVCHD clips and we are back to the weird video. Yet the same file opens normally in QuickTime. There are two screenshots of the same frame to illustrate this. One from FCP and one from QuickTime.
http://grazer.free.fr/webstore/1_FCP.jpg
http://grazer.free.fr/webstore/2_QT.jpg
Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas because I am not going to devote another ten hours to reinstalling the poxy thing?

Hello again Michael,
Camera files are imported with Log & Transfer from SD cards with the AVCHD camera, P2 cards from the Panasonic HPX, from archived files of the complete card contents or imported from existing Capture Scratch files.
The point is that the MacBook Pro behaves normally and the iMac used to. I have no idea why the same version of FCP on the iMac has suddenly become strange. Even stranger is that after reinstalling both system and FCP it all worked correctly and shortly afterwards the same weird stuff started again.
Also, as mentioned, the Capture Scratch QT.mov file that FCP creates following a Log & Transfer reads normally with QuickTime - and iMovie - on the iMac.

Video signaling problem caused by 1.9, 2.0 BIOS (pointing out a BIOS problem)

Hi, i have a problem with the video signal. At random times when i boot up my computer, the computer would power up but there is no signal to the monitor. there is no hdd activity (via the hdd led) and nothing seems to be happening just that the fans are whirring. i have to unplug the computer then plug it again then turn it up again which sometimes repeats the problem. This is very irritating! So i did a little bit of troubleshooting:
1. I changed video cards. I used a SAPPHIRE ati radeon 9600XT fireblade and a LEADTEK GF4 ti4200. Both cards were causing the same problem and when i used both cards to another computer, there is no problem. = NOT A video card problem
2. used differnt kinds of drivers Cat 3.10, 4.10, 4.20 (omega and official) does not seem to do anything (which also i believe the drivers are OS dependent and its the bios of the vid card that starts up the vid card)
3. upgraded from 1.9 to 2.0 BIOS. still the same problem
4. reverted from 2.0 to 1.7 BIOS. the problem ended.
BTW, the board is 865PE-Neo2 - S. on a Intel 2.6Ghz C, 512MB TwinMos ram with m-tec chips, 80gb hdd, enermax 300w psu
so ive' solved the problem, and i just wanted to point out that there is a problem with 1.9, 2.0 BIOS. (havnt tried the 1.8 tho)

Wish I had seen this thread 2 weeks ago, but you did save me from buying a new graphics card. That was the last step (before chucking this mobo completely) in my attempts to fix the same problem. It didn't bother me too much, except I also couldn't get any DVD player (tried 3) to work. Would boot sometimes and at others gave a blue screen video error.
Flashing to bios 1.7 was the only thing that fixed it. Tried different memory, updating software, various combinations of drives, etc. For the record I tried bios 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, and 2.1. Not sure what about those updates causes problems but there definitely is something wrong.
Thanks.

The Video Out Problem...Fixed?

I know Wikipedia can be edited by virtually anyone with membership and an opinion, but I had to know.
It said that an itunes update 1.0.2 fixed the video out problem...does that mean that videos can now be connected to a TV and play on the TV? They fixed that?
I am still ever in the market for the nano, just waiting until the right ammount of money to purchase one. Thanks

I think it is currently working according to this knowledgebase article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233
That is, for the new Nano, you can use the older iPod Universal Dock (ie the normal one that has been available for a couple of years) together with an iPod composite video cable or an SVideo cable (ie all currently-available stuff you may have already bought for a previous-series video iPod), OR you can use the brand new "Apple Universal Dock" with the brand new Apple Composite AV Cable or with the (new) Apple Component AV Cable, OR you can use one of those brand new Apple AV Cables directly with the Nano (without the new Apple Universal Dock).
What you cannot do is connect an old video cable or accessory, which was expecting to get composite video from the RCA/audio jack on the Nano, because it looks like (on the new Nano and the Classic) the audio out jack is now just for audio out and video is only available via the dock connector on the iPod.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

Video import problem from iphone5 to PC giving error

Hi evereyone,
I have iphone 5. I try to import my videos but am not able to import all, its giving error. I tried also using windows live photo still same prob. the imported videos have problem in playing. I tried with vlc, quick time, the frames are broken and audio video lag. Please help me how i can import all and rum smoothly.

Every time I plug my iphone 5 into the laptop (using windows 7) the easiest way is to right click on the portable device (iphone icon) and import to my pictures, BUT every time I do this it wants to import ALL photos and videos.
And when you do this, it should ask if you want to import the pictures that have already been imported. Select No.
Then, after you import, the photos should be deleted from the Camera Roll.
After the photos are imported and deleted from the Camera Roll, you can import using iTunes, only the photos you want on the iPhone.

Hello to all: My iMac has developed a video display problem. It displays everything in cartoon like colors - purple, green, blue. Can this be repaired? Is there a way to output to a different monitor? Thanks in advance! isplays

Hello -
My iMac has developed a video display problem. Everything now appears in a strange, cartoonish way. Purples, greens, blues. Can this be fixed, and if so, any idea how much it might cost? Also, could I output to a seperate monitor? I plan to replace the unit , but cannot right now. Thanks!

Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing.
In the Display area, reset it to "Black on white" by clicking that checkbox.
You can also reset it by pressing Command-Option-Control-8

Old IMac 17'' video sync problem at boot

Hi,
A friend has brought his IMac 17'', which has a video sync problem. At boot, all screen lines are out of sync, but I can more or less recognize the apple logo, which disappears later. Something happens at least, there is a boot processing going on I think.
I tried to reset the parameter ram, it does not help.
I have heard of a power supply problem that can cause that problem. Is that right? The computer serial is: W8446APAPP7.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Here's a simple test case I've made, it's just a bunch of lines drawn in an orthographic OpenGL view. When you scroll horizontially with scrollbars or by space+dragging, the effect is very noticeble.
The .app and source are available here:

I believe this is the same problem as with the Apple homepage Flash thing. It's not just a problem with Flash.

Video TC problems in 9.1

Dears all,
i get a problem only in 9.1.
It's simple :
I have a video with tc burned in.
I perfect match frame rate etc.
But : the film is not matching the logic session.
Example :
Measure 10 -> tc 02:00:00:20 ( tc on video and Logic perfect )
Moving forward 3/4 measures
Back on the measure 10 = the previous tc on video is different in terms of 3/4 fps : the tc in Logic is
OK.
Opening the same in Logic 9.02 = all is ok.
Anyone ?
Thanks
-A

Hi thanks for your answer.....
do you understand my question ?
I mean, after checking on my 3 systems and getting confirmation fro my colleague, that Logic 9.1
have a video related problems.
On the paper the video is not still smoothly following Logic...... no problems in version 9.02.
I mean that if i put the spl on a place in the song i get a fps, if i move and back the place is not the same, kind of not immediate match.

IPod Video Known Problems?

Hi all,
I've had a series of issues with my iPod Photo that have caused me to return it in favour of an iPod video. However, I am a little disenchanted with iPod and want to be fully informed before swapping products.
What are COMMON PROBLEMS with the iPod video, and what should I be aware of?
Also, what kind of videos does it play?
Windows XP

Thanks! I know that by posting here, the replies will be biased, but that's okay. I really do want to hear the horror stories, because I've had one with my current iPod.
Some 60GB iPods with video have video playback
problems. This should be resolved by a software
update in the future.
Could you elaborate on this? It sort of raises red flags in my mind.
I saw the stats on the video playback but appreciate that you have posted them, although perhaps I should have been more clear in my question.
What about ripped/downloaded videos? (Or does it not matter, so long as they are in the correct format?)

Video Sync Problems in iTunes 11.1/ios 7

I have recently upgraded to ios 7 for my iPad and iPhone, and iTunes 11.1. I added two new videos to iTunes (.m4v format) and now when I try to sync with my iPad it seems to hang forever on "Waiting for changes to be applied" and then gives me an error message that the videos are not of a format that can be played on the iPad. This is odd since I already have .m4v videos on my iPad that play just fine. Moreover, I deselected some videos and they do not delete from my iPad as well. Is anyone else encountering this? I have seen some posting regarding music files and playlists not syncing, but nothing about movie files.

I've had video syncing problems (not with music though) when I updated my iPhone 4s to the new IOS 7, but I finally figured it out. What I did was I plugged my 4s in to my computer (Windows 7, 64-bit), then opened iTune (11.1.3.8), clicked on my iPhone tab on the upper right, under "Summary" put a 'check' in the Manually sync music & videos.
Looking at the picture above, notice the: Movies, Music Videos, and Home Videos; are now available. Before this method, these three wasn't there. These are all in the original Videos app for the iPhone. I hope this help you guys too.
