What causes pillarboxing to occur part way through a movie?

On very few occasions, my canon optura generated video when being imported to iMovie will have a series of clips, pillarbox. The overwhelming majority of all my movies and their clips never pillarbox. I have the camera defaulting to 16:9 and iMovie import preferences set to widescreen.
I might on occasion have been trying different camera modes/actions during a vacation, etc. and somehow get out of 16:9 or ?????????
Main question is what causes pillarboxing in the first place and from there perhaps I can figure out what I have done to trigger it.
Thanks

I've just downloaded Sophos (yesterday) and commenced the scan. It keeps stopping part way through, the 2nd time when it was about 98% completed after 4 hours!!!! I've had to start again. What could be causing this? I have Mountain Lion.

FWIW, I have used Sophos regularly for several years now (including on my new iMac running Mountain Lion versions 10.8.2 & now 10.8.3) & never had any problems with it on any of the half dozen or so Macs I have installed it on.
Quite a few people automatically assume all Mac A-V software is troublesome junk, & many will leap to the conclusion it is the cause of some problem without considering other potential (& often much more likely) causes, regardless of which A-V product is installed.
Obviously I hope, not all A-V products are alike, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to condemn them all because of problems with one of them. Regarding Sophos in particular, finding first hand reports of it causing problems is quite difficult -- typically, if you ask for the details it turns out to be a second or third hand report & there isn't enough info available to know for certain if it is the real cause or not.
This is not to say it is impossible for it to cause problems, just that it is prudent to consider all the possibilities before concluding that any one of them is the cause.

I am trying to watch tv shows that i have purchased but part way through the show it pauses and will not allow me to play the show. What do i do?

That is correct.
That is the price of a replacement iphone once your iphone is outside of the warranty period

How do I continue a migration from iPhoto to Photos that was interrupted part way through?

I began a VERY large migration (40k+ photos) from iPhoto (v9.6.1) to Photos on an external hard drive. I have a MacBook Pro with Yosemite 10.10.3 that is connected to a network that has a Synology network drive. The iPhoto library is on that drive and I was wanting to create the Photos library also on the drive.
The process was very slow and has taken days, but that is expected and it was definitely making progress (I could see the files being added over time). Unfortunately, the transfer was interrupted part way through (my kid closed my laptop, which disconnected it from the network). I tried to start it over with the partially created Photos library folder as the destination, hoping that it would pick up where it left off. It worked until it reached the same files that were previously created. The migration stopped at that point, and the following error appeared: "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. There were file system or hardware issues…” I assume the inability to overwrite previous files with the same names was the case of the "file system or hardware issues."
Is there any way to either continue the migration from where I left off, or maybe even manually move the rest of the files over? Or do I have to wipe out the entire partially migrated Photos library and start over?

You probably will have to start over
And I suspect that you are incorrect - as far as I know NO NAS is formatted Mac OS extended - A NAS is basically a Linux computer with no display or keyboard that uses a Linux format drive - a headless computer
Unless you have a directly connected drive correctly formatted you are cgoing to continue to have issues - your photos and your choice what risk you put them at but you are treading in very dangerous water with you set up - is it documented not to work and similar set ups have been reported here hundreds of times as causing major problems and losing lots of stuff

Embeded Flash files stop loading part way through after update to 10.2

Hello, I am currently having an issue with Flash. After the last update to 10.2, flash files, both audio and video, stop loading part way through them and do not start up again. For instance, on youtube, about 2 minutes worth of video will load but load slowly and then stop completely. The only way to get it to advance is to click past the section that has loaded and it will load the next 2 minutes. On Myspace Music, a song plays about 40 seconds each time and stops completely and will not load anymore, even if I try to skip to another part of the song. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition with Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 64 bit edition as well. Also I have tried clearing my cache, cookings, temp files, removing and installing Flash countless times, including older versions, as well as tried Google Chrome and IE. All give me the exact same issue no matter what I do. It is really frustrating because I cannot watch or listen to anything embeded in Flash online without having to keep clicking the next section every little bit. If anyone can help, please do and I thank you.

Hi, Since your OS is a 64bit, are you using the 32bit browser for IE? I see you have the FF beta. Have they come out with a 64bit browser? I don't follow the FF beta so if that's true, it's news to me.
Let me know,
Thanks,

HT1583 sound stops part way through on burned idvd, but ok on computer edit.

Can anyone help, for the first time having a problem with a burned idvd which the sound stops part way through. If sound turned right up on TV muffled sound
is there. Edited on computer and all works fine with full sound right the way through, only trouble is on the disc. Have tried many discs, so does not appear to
be disc failure.
Appreciate any comments please

Hi
FIRST OF ALL - THE MAJOR ADVICE in this forum EVER !
In iDVD - Before Burning the DVD DO !
Save as a DiskImage
Double click on this .img icon
test the new Pseudo DVD (looks like a white hard disk) with DVD-tool
THEN
• DVD Brand - matters
• DVD type used - matters
• BURN SPEED - matters
• Audio file format - matters
WHAT did You use
I only use
- Verbatim
- DVD-R SL
- x2 max x4 - Best / High - IS NOT BEST
- .aiff - NO .mp3, .wma etc alient formats - from iTune EXPORTED OUT as .aiff ONLY

My L7680 intermitently prints gibberish part way through pdf documents.

My printer has recently strated to intermitently print gibberish part way through a pdf document. It happens most often if the document is long, eg more than ~5 pages or if I send several pdf documnets to the print queue. If I resubmit the document for printing, often it comes out OK or it goes wrong later in the document.
I'm running Windows XP and I access the printer through a BT HomeHub wireless. I've tried reinstalling the drivers, resetting the HomeHub and running the HP Diagnostic software with no joy (the latter found no problems). The problem does not seem to occur when printing Word documents.
I hope someone can help.

There have been reports of Vista not working well with older networking equipment. Here's a link to a Microsoft note on this subject.
I also have a couple of other questions:
When the printer stalls, can you ping the printer from the PC? Can you access the printer's internal web page by browsing its IP address?
How is the PC connected to your network (wired or wireless)?
Are there other wireless devices on the network besides your PC and your printer?
When the printer stalls, can you still browse the internet from your PC?

Audio disappears part way through avi file

I have imported an avi file into a new CC project.
Video stream:
Codec: DV Video (dvsd)
Resolution: 720x576
Frame Rate: 25
Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Audio Stream
Codec: PCM S16 LE (araw)
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
Bits per sample: 16
PC is running Windows 8.1 and is running CC 7.2.2 (33)
The file itself runs for 43 minutes and is 5.4 Gb in size
When editing the file 25 minutes in the audio disappears completely and is gone for the rest of the clip.
I have checked the file in VLC and the audio is present throughout the file.
I used Avidemux 2.6 to split off from the main file about 10 minutes of data where there was no audio within Premiere.
I imported that new file into Premiere and the audio is present in the new file.
I can therefore use that but don't know what is wrong with the original file.

Any suggestions of where to start?
Thanks

Thank you for the information.
I have read the source patching article and watched the video too. Very interesting and an impressive function.
I did also look at the Audio Conforming link a lot of which I didn't understand; I think though I did try what was suggested regarding XMP stuff although it did not make any difference with the file I had the issue with.
My problem is that the audio just stops part way through the clip.
I have reduxed into a new file all the audio/video from the original file from just before the audio disappeared and that seems to work OK. Perhaps there is an issue with my original file.
It doesn't help that I have a brand new PC and this is the very first video I have edited in Premiere CC as I had previously been using CS4 and even then I haven't used that for a while.
Anyway, thank you for your help and I will see how I get on.

IPod classic 160Gb 2009 starts tracks part way through

I restored my iPod a couple of months ago through iTunes so it's on the latest version available and all, and since then it's developed a minor but very annoying quirk of starting music tracks part way through when I skip to them - particularly noticable on playlists. What it's actually doing is resuming playback from points where I skipped them on a previous listen. Pretty much what you'd expect an audiobook to do, starting from where you left off. Which is great for audiobooks, but not what I want for my music tracks. I can't find any settings for turning this 'feature' off on the iPod or through iTunes, and I'm not sure it's supposed to be applied to music tracks anyway.
Before I resort to wiping the iPod and starting from scratch to see if that fixes the problem (because it takes hours to transfer all my music over again), does anyone else have any experience with this parrticular problem and know of a solution?
Thanks!

I've managed to fix this myself. Selecting all tracks from within iTunes, then right-clicking and hitting 'get info' and setting the 'remember playback postion' to 'no' for all mp3s has sorted the problem out. This would perhaps benefit from being an option in the iPod settings in addition to individual track settings so it's a bit more intuitive to find for those of us who aren't regular iTunes users!
The real mystery is why it was turned on for them all in the first place. From what I can gather it's something you're supposed to enable per track yourself, and so off by default. I certainly didn't turn it on, so I'm guessing it was a minor glitch in the Matrix.

Restored today, but then downloaded and installed ios 7. on install restore point doesn't exist and only half a restore part way through ios 7, which has lost most stuff. previous restore points dont seem to exist either only back in April

I have restored earlier today and got a time confirmation afterwards.
Have just installed IOS 7 to find that the restore point doesn't now exist according to itunes.
The phone has made its own restore point part way through IOS 7 installation but half the stuff is missing.
Help !!!
I had loads of very important stuff on the phone. But the only restore points now available are back in April

I also have found out that having updated itunes that this has reverted to a previous setting of syncing my music!!
What on eart is going on Apple ???
This is really poor and not the firtst time these things have happened. Billions of dollars and poor quality !!!

Upgrading part way through the term of a plan

I'm looking to sign up for the 'Photoshop Photography Program' plan as well as a Single App plan for Illustrator. If my needs require that I need another app partway through the first year can I upgrade to the full plan without any penalty. Or do I have to either wait until 12 months are up or cancel (and loose) what I've already paid for and start again part way through?
I'm torn between getting Creative Suite CS6 Design Standard as well as Lightroom separately on a one off, or signing up for CC, which I accept is more flexible but in the long term will cost considerably more. These are not every day tools for me but they are essential all the same, a major investment which ever way you cut it.
Thanks in advance for your response, Chas RFNM.

Hi RFNM,
Yes, you can upgrade to CC full plan anytime and to waive off the penalty please contact customer support:

Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g - scanning stalls part way through

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g. When I try to scan a large number of documents from the printer to my computer, the printer stalls part way through. Today I had a stack of 45 pages that needed to be scanned. I loaded them into the document feeder on the top of the printer, hit "Scan", "To Computer", chose my computer from the list, "Save as pdf" and start scan.
The printer started scanning, got through about 30 pages and then just froze up. The display screen showed "Now Scanning". I let it sit for over a half an hour, but it did not resume. The only way to get out of the stalled scanning was to turn off the printer and restart it.
This has happened multiple times. Is there a limit on the number of documents that can be scanned at a time?

Hello aksnell,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
In my experience the Officejet Pro 8600 Plus would be best suited to scan such a large amount using the software provided. The printer has a internal memory of 128 MB, that will fill up very fast when scanning into the computer.
I would recommend opening HP Scan on the computer, select .PDF and scan the pages this way. It will still feed from the Automatic Document Feeder and also save all pages to a single file when done.
If you need a hand scanning using the software, replay back with the Operating System installed on your computer, Windows or Mac.
Thanks for posting.

I have just tried to upgrade to the latest version of itunes, and my ipad was connected to my computer at the time. The upgrade crashed part way through. I now cannot start itunes as it says MSVCR80.dll is missing. Anyone got any ideas?

I was upgrading to the latest version of itunes, and my new ipad mini was connected to my computer at the same time, try to sync for the first time. The upgrade crashed part way through, and now itunes won't load and I get an error message saying MSVCR80.dll is missing. How do I do about reinstalling this file?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

A couple of months ago, I went to the Apple Store to try and sort this problem out. I was told that I was not playing my songs out of an actual music library. I created a library and loaded all of my songs, movies, etc. onto it. I had found that when I synced my songs from the new library onto my itouch, the songs no longer stopped in odd spots or bled into each other. To ensure that most of my songs had been fixed, I played the ones that were the most problematic. Fortunately, the songs play all the way through without any interruption. So far, I have not encountered the same problems that I had posted in my question. I apologize for not knowing the fellow's name who helped me with my iTouch at the Apple Store, but I would like to say how thankful and happy I am now that my iTouch no longer skips to the next song.
I know that other people have had this same issue with their iPods. If you encounter your music not playing correctly, I would suggest that making a new library and loading all of your music into the new one may help correct the problem. I hope that this helps.
