White flask with 16:9 video?

I have used older software for years, and finally did a video in 16:9.
Seems simple enough, but I notice on replaying the DVD, a quick white flash precedes the start of the clip.
Now I have the latest setup and computer, and I STILL have this problem. I can use a 4:3 clip...no problem...going to 16:9, I keep getting this flash just prior to the clip playing.
Anyone have a clue what is causing this?
Thanks
Sjef

I have encountered the same problem and found your post while searching for an answer on discussion forum. Did you ever figure out the cause.
Thanks in advance for any info.

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

White screen with confetti on start-up and intermittent black screen . Video card failing?

Is the video card starting to go ? It is an early 2008 Imac . Keeps powering up but white screen with confetti for a few seconds on start-up . Display did also go black for about 5 minutes last week but also came back . I'm thinking video card degradation?

The most common cause is the MLB or GPU.
You can run the AHT (Apple Hardware Test) (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 OR http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11342) and see if that pulls up any results, otherwise, book an appointment online at your local Apple Retail Store free of charge, for a free assessment and diagnosis.

White screen with flash video

In Dreamweaver 4, I get a white screen after adding Flash Video to my webpage. All browsers show white screen in Preview, too.

Flash (if you get it to work) isn't supported by the world's most popular web devices: iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android and others... You'll reach a much wider audience if you convert your video to MP4 and use an HTML5 player.
http://www.pickleplayer.com/
http://flowplayer.org/

Or, upload your native video to YouTube or Vimeo video sharing sites. Let them convert it & carry the bandwidth for you. Then, copy & paste their embed code into your HTML pages.

White screen with Apple logo/ not booting

I recently tried to install the software for the "Flip" video camcorder and upon restarting my computer after installation, my computer is stuck on the white screen with Apple Logo, 'thinking" wheel spinning, and fans going full blast. I tried forcing a stop with turning computer off by holding power button in the back until system powered off. When I started the computer back up, it did the same thing.
What is the likely problem and how do I fix this. I bought the computer used and do not have the OS X software that comes with the computer originally.

You really need those discs. You can either buy a BLACK retail version of Leopard and use that or you can call Apple at 800-767-2775 and for a nominal fee they will send you the proper discs for your model. You will need the serial number, which you can find on the bottom of the foot of your computer. Do not buy any grey discs, they are machine specific and will not work on yours. In the meantime, try starting by resetting the PRAM and the SMU
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Attach the computers power cable.
6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.
You need to make sure also, that the software that comes with your Flip is compatible with the OS version you are running.
Let us know how you make out,

How to change white background with text to transparent background

Good afternoon,
I have a jpg file (part of our logo) white background with black text and I would like to change it to transparent background and keep the black text (to be able to insert it on a cup image).
I tried to change it in photoshop, however, when I slide the "opacity" and "fill", the text got ligther as well.
Do I need to have the original psd.file to be able to do that, or can you please lead me through with jpg file? (I tried to save the jpg to psd and png, but it did not help.)
I looked on one of your videos, but I could not find one of the features under "Select" tab.
My plan is to recreate the text to have the transparent background if necessary (It would be great if I can avoid that). However, how do I find out which font was originaly used? Does photoshop has this feature, or do I need to go trough each of the font one-by-one?
My last question is, how do I change space between letters (to have them more tight. I am not able to find it.
Thank you for your help,
Klara

If you can get teh original PSD file get it, your task will be a lot easier.
I suspect that won't be an option to you.
If you know what fonts are being used, that also would be of benefit to you. In other word remake it using your image as a template.
If it going over an image, then a multiply blend might work for you.
All that fails then you are down to removing the white background. The problem this option is it will not look as good due to the thin lines on the fonts. But essentially, Load the image into photoshop, make sure the layer isnt locked, then try the magic eraser tool on the white background, bam it'll disappear, but leave the white inside the O white you will have to do seperately.
Messing with levels will help you with more of the white. Myself i'd rebuild it using the fonts.

HI,
*"I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported."*
You need to select "MacintoshHD 10.5.8 not "disc image" in order to run Disk Utility and Verify and if necessary, Repair the disk.
That's why you are seeing this dialog.
*are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.*
Also, run the Apple Hardware Test.

Stuck on white screen with apple logo

A few days ago my macbook pro started making a weird buzzing noise and froze. I waited for a while until I shut it off. When I turned it on again it froze at a white screen and after a few minutes it was a white screen with the apple logo.
I kept waiting, and after a while my mac restarted and it happend all over again. I then tried to find something here to help, and I tried everything!
I tried the disk utility thing and when I tries to verify the Macintoch HD it said "The volume could not be verified completely. Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click repair disk." I did that, but then it said "Error: disk utility can't repair this disk... Disk, and restore your backed up files."
what should I do now?
Also I tried the safe mode thing when I start up the machine, but that doesn't seem to work either.
I haven't backed up my files either.. So, I don't know what to do, and I don't want to lose my files. Can I do something about that? Please help me!

Trouble with a 30G video Ipod

Hey all, first time poster here.
I've been browsing the topics, trying to find a solutin to my problem, but nothing so far seems to be the exact problem I'm having, but I've seen some that are close, and tried those solutions to no avail.
Anyway, I recently purchased a 30G Ipod from a friend at work, who claims it was playing just fine until he pulled it out of the docking bay when it said "do not disconnect" and since then, every time he turned it on, it would display the ! next to the folder and turn off. He doesn't have any of the original things that came with it, like the disc, which he assures me would help to fix the ipod if he could get his hands on it, and restore the Ipod.
I brought it home, plugged it in, and was greeted with the same ! next to the folder. For the next two days, I'm 100% sure I've tried every option to restore my Ipod that I could find on the Apple website, so now I'm at the end of my rope.
My problem is that it was displaying the ! , but now I have a new problem. Today I noticed that while my computer was off, my Ipod magically healed itself! It was amazing, usually I got the dull grey "do not disconnect" message flashing over and over, but this time it was the bright white screen, with a color picture of the battery in the top right corner. I turned on my computer, and the Ipod immediately opened Itunes by itself, and started importing all my music into the Ipod. I disconnected the Ipod, and before I could even turn on any music, it froze up. I put it back on the docking bay, and now I'm stuck with "your Ipod is in Ipod recovery mode, please connect it to your computer and run Itunes". Everytime I try to run restore, it shows up with the error "Ipod could not recover because of an unknown error (error 1418)" and it does this every time. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling, trying it on another computer (not a mac, don't own one or know anybody with one) I've tried everything I could find on the FAQ, including disabling things in the hidden folders and deleting things. I'm out of ideas, I don't know what to do anymore.
I should add that I really don't know much about the Ipod, like what generation it is, or anything like that. all I know is that it's 30G, and it plays video. If there is a way to find out more information about it, I'd appreciate it, and please, if you have any suggestions, I'd GREATLY appreciate your help. If you need to know the specs of my computer, I'm currently using A custom PC, with Windows XP (with all the latest updates).
Thank you for taking the time to read this long post.

Jeff has asked some good questions, and I hope you have the SP2 service pack installed, or the proper drivers for the Ipod may not be installed. I assume you have the proper USB cable, and it seems like your Ipod is not sufficiently charged (I.E. the battery symbol). I would suggest purchasing a portable AC charger for it and plugging it in overnight. Or, leave it plugged into your computer overnight with the computer on.
I think you probably don't have the proper drivers for the ipod on your computer. Did your computer mention that it found new hardware when you plugged your ipod in for the first time? Did your computer then ask you to restart it? It seems like your computer did install the drivers, and this maybe why the Ipod started working but the battery was too low. (Assuming you have SP2 installed)
1)Connect the Ipod, Run the Add Hardware, and see if it finds the Ipod. If yes(assuming you have SP2), then this may solve your problem when it installs the proper drivers.
Restart your computer and do not disconnect the Ipod.
2) Your IPOD battery needs charging. This is the reason you got the color battery symbol.
3)Make sure Itunes and the IPOD updater are installed.
Run the updater, and follow the instructions. If it asks you to plug it into an outlet to complete the update, then you need to buy the AC charger. You can get it at most of the computer superstores and Best Buy.
4)Also, make sure the "Do not disconnect" symbol is gone before you disconnect your Ipod from your computer. If it does not disconnect on its own after updating it with Itunes, then you need to manually eject it from itunes from before removing it from the computer. Otherwise you will corrupt the file system.
Charge the Ipod overnight(at least 8 hours), and then press the menu and middle button until it restarts, and start trying to get it to properly work with your computer.
(I'm out of breath so, Good Luck) smile.

Inoperable little white box obscures all web videos

What is the inoperable little white box that obscures all my web videos?
For example, upon searching for "Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook”, and clicking on “360 degree [video] tour”, there appeared a maddening little white box with the following message: “Adobe Flash Player Settings. Local Storage. AppAsset.AppStudio.Kitd.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer. Requested up to: 10KB. Currently Used: 0 KB [Download [icon], “Allow” or “Deny”]” None of the three choices are active links and therefore do not work. The little white cannot be removed without terminating the desired video. Every time it comes up it almost completely obscures the video that I am interested in (on U-Tube or in the advertisement).
If this is an Adobe device, it needs to be fixed immediately because it does not work! Or, is it an internet bug which may damage my PC’s operations?
My PC is a HP Paviolion dv3-2150us Entertainment Notebook PC running Windows 7. The problem has been recurring for one week.

Sorry about that - I didn't know any better. First time on the Adobe forum. Later I did realize the error and posted it also on the Adobe Flash Player forum, hopefully the correct one. I don't know how or if I can remove this incorrect posting. If you have the privilege to remove it, please do so with my thanks. Or clue me in, and I will do it immediately.

Power Mac G5 on start up it repetedly has white screen with circling icon then just switches off

Power Mac G5... Pleas Help!!! i'm not sure if my hard drive is broken but on start up it repetedly has white screen with the circling (doing somthing) icon then just switches off. If i press alt when switching on i get a grey screen with 3 icons, 1st is like a refresh arrow button & last is a straight arrow button on pressing either of these mac just starts the white screen thing again, the middle icon is a picture of a hard drive with a blue cross in the corner & written under neath it says macintosh HD. Does this mean my hard drive has gone?

Been there, done that. Try a Safe Boot (holding down the shift key at boot) and see if it boots. If it boots, then you may be having problems with either the power supply or the video card. What video card is in the machine?
If it does a safe boot OK, then we can troubleshoot using a verbose boot. Verbose boot puts up a Unix Console screen and displays text output during the boot process. When I had these symptoms, verbose boot showed me that the power supply was clicking off right after the kext to drive the GeForce 6800 card loaded. I replaced the power supply and the problem went away.
To initiate a verbose boot, hold down the cmd-V combination until you see the console screen come up. Watch the output and pay attention, because you need to remember what is being said when the machine shuts down. You may need to repeat this two or three times.
As an aside, often times power supplies exhibit this behavior when they have become choked with dust. This is pretty universal after five or six years, requiring that the power supply be removed and the dust blown out with clean shop air.

HDV crashes/comes up as white screen with only sound when exported.

Hi I have been searching all throughout the forums for an answer to my problem but seem to find no clear solution. I edit everything into an HDV1080i60 timeline in Final Cut Pro 5 and then I try to export, whenever I export with Quicktime Conversion, Final Cut Pro crashes midway through. When I export with Quicktime Movie at 1080i60, the file comes out but when played is a blank white screen with sound only.
Every export setting has failed EXCEPT Uncompressed 8 bit NTSC. The video does come out good but the file sizes are enormous because it is uncompressed.
Is there any solution to this problem, I don't understand why its happening now, about one month ago everything was working great. I have downgraded to quicktime 7.3.1 yet still no results.
Any help would be much appreciated.

something between then and now has thrown a large spanner in the works
the fact that Quicktime Player is not seeing the HDV codec and yet FCP is able to work in that codec is a clear indication of the issue
starting with the least extreme and easiest solutions:
Use Disk Utility app to repair permissions on your system disc, see if that helped
Create a new user account and see if it all works better in that new account
Boot from your OS install discs and use Disk Utility app to repair your system disc, see if that helped
Uninstall and then reinstall Final Cut Studio (repair permissions again after the reinstall)
... probably best solution though is a complete clean reinstall of both OS and applications
hope it helps

White bar with markers in sim & computer playback

Hey there...
I'm getting a white bar (with the name of the marker) at the top of the frame when I use DVDSP-added markers in playback on a computer. The white bar doesn't show up until you have passed the first marker. They also show up in the simulator, but not when viewing the disc on a TV.
How can I turn them off so they don't show in computer playback? I'm using DVDSP 3, by the way.
Thanks.

They also show up in the simulator, but not when viewing the disc on a TV.
That's only because the white bar is outside of the action-safe TV border. It's there on the TV, it's just in the overscanned section so you can't see it. On a TV that was set to overscan less, you'd see it.
Describe in detail your workflow. What are you editing your clips with (FCP, FCE, iMovie, other)? How are you exporting to DVDSP? Are you encoding to MPEG2 before placing into DVDSP? If so, what are you using to encode (Compressor, QT Export, BitVice, other)? Are you using DVDSP to create your disc?
Usually what you're describing happens when you export markers along with your video from your editing program, but the encoding program doesn't know how to deal with those markers. It sounds like, even though you say you're adding the markers in DVDSP, you've also added some kind of markers in your editing program and chosen the option to export markers when you export your movie.
