Why are some video frame sizes smaller than others?

I am copying a number of short amateur digital video movies onto a single DVD. All are 16:9 ratio, but whereas most fill the screen on my computer monitor and 16:9 ratio television, some appear as a smaller picture - still 16:9 ratio, but with a black border around all four sides of the picture. Can someone please explain what causes this, and is it practical to enlarge the smaller picture movies to match the full screen ones, or will the image quality be noticeably poorer? If it's practical to do, how do I do the enlarging? Thank you.

Are all clips from exactly the same source, using exactly the same settings?

Why are some videos unavailable from youtube ?

why are some videos unavailable from youtube ?

In what country do you live? Is this on a Mac or mobile device; some videos are not available for mobile devices (why, I don't know, it's a youtube thing).

Some video clips looks faster than other clips. [Finalcutpro X]

After exporting and uploading a video, sometimes I find some videoclips I added looks faster than other video clips. Is there anyone who experienced same problem? I don't know how to fix this situation.

Ah... the clip's rate I added in the middle was 24f but the project frame rate was 50f.
I think that's why this happened. Thanks for your reply.
And how can I solve this situation?

Why are some movies only available in languages other than the original version?

I have mentionned this before, and it keeps happening, and it is oh so annoying! Why in the world would you make a movie available in a translated version, but not in the original? This has happened to me several times now, and it is incredibly frustrating. At least when buying movies on Amazon, I always easily know what language it will be in! Films in French? Some are just in French, some are in French and others. Films in Dutch? Quite a few are originals with Dutch, why not do the same in French?

Take it up with whomever or whatever company distributes those films in your country. Those sorts of options are up to the distributors, not Apple. Only the company or people who own or control the distribution rights to the intellectual property can say what is or is not put up in the iTunes Store.

Why are some pages half size

When I get pages using Bookmarks some of them (e.g. Ebay, Amazon) are full width and others (e.g. Craigslist) are only have width and if I open another, even if it's Ebay or Amazon it also goes half width.
What have I done wrong?
Thank You

Check that you aren't opening bookmarks in the sidebar.
Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website. 
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac). 
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right. 
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

Why are some websites very slow loading and others not

Some websites are very slow to load and others not. Doesn't seem to be any logic as to. The affected URL below is one that is very slow. I can understand if it is not an Aussie website. Having said that New York Stock Exchange website "http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=DJI" loads quicker than the subject URL

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Why are some contacts listed by first name others by last name.

I synchronize my iPhone with an MS Exchange Server. Some contacts on my iPhone are listed by first others by lastname. I checked my Outlook - All contacts are the same!
Does someone know this Problem?

Unfortunately, I think that's just how android does it. I couldn't find a setting anywhere.

In imovie - why are some of the images masked by other images?

The images appear in the edit box but not when I play the movie. It's like they're being masked by the previous image.

Thank you, mhoffman85!
First, the photos were taken by people other than myself, but the tip you provided is a good one for me to pass along to family, friends, and fans.
Second, I am indeed stubborn. Following your advice, I started by painstakingly deleting the 134 photos from my Muse CC slideshow widget. Then I copied the images into iPhoto, double-checking for rotation errors: one remained 90 degrees clockwise, so I changed that in Preview and saved it. Then I copied the photos into a new folder and reinserted them into the Muse widget. One of the photos needed a different "fill" setting. Finally, I re-typed all 134 photo captions and photo credit names. Et voila, when I previewed the page (2.5 hours later, ack), all of the photos were in their correct rotation.
I am now feel a bit tired but mostly happy that I can move forward with populating the remaining pages before uploading my redesign. Excited!
Very grateful also for your timely response to my post.

Why the flashback log'size smaller than the archived log ?

hi, all . why the flashback log'size smaller than the archived log ?

Flash logs size depends on parameter DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET , how much you want to keep.
Archive log files is dumped file of Online redo log files, It can be either size of Online redo log file size or less depending on online redo size when switch occurred.
Some more information:-
Flashback log files can be created only under the Flash Recovery Area (that must be configured before enabling the Flashback Database functionality). RVWR creates flashback log files into a directory named “FLASHBACK” under FRA. The size of every generated flashback log file is again under Oracle’s control. According to current Oracle environment – during normal database activity flashback log files have size of 8200192 bytes. It is very close value to the current redo log buffer size. The size of a generated flashback log file can differs during shutdown and startup database activities. Flashback log file sizes can differ during high intensive write activity as well.

Why are some cells in my spreadsheet higher than others? There's like extra space.

DreamLife,
you can adjust the row height byt selecting the separator between rows. It is possible you made this adjustment accidentally. To se the row height to be the same as other rows select a row that has the height you want:
Then open the table inspector. Look at the row height and note the value. Now select the row (s) you want to adjust, then change the "Row Height" value in the table inspector. To view the inspect select the menu item "View > Show Inspector"

Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

Why are some photos on camera roll but not in photo stream. Unable to backup as camera roll size is too big for free 5gb.

I assume you have Photostream on, correct?
In order for the photos to be moved into Photostream, you must exit the camera app, and be on a wifi connection. Both of these criteria must be met before the sync occurs.

Why are some websites that are important to many people, such as the FAFSA (federal financial aid for students) website or the Bank of New York Mellon website, not permitting access to computers running Firefox versions newer than 3.6 when Mozilla is claiming that 5.0 is more stable and secure?

That is a question for those websites to answer. Firefox 4.0 was released almost 4 months ago, IMO more than enough time for those 2 websites to verify that Firefox 4 & 5 are compliant with W3C standards.

Why are some (but not all) of my Muse slideshow widget images rotated differently than when I edited them in Photoshop CC?

I have a few dozen photographs embedded in the slideshow widget. Most of them appear exactly as I edited them in Photoshop, but several appear rotated clockwise 90 or 180 degrees. Does anyone know why this is happening, and ideally, how I can correct this problem? Thank you.

Please share the site url , also refer to this post and check if this helps :
Why are some of my images importing upside down?
Secondly , if you change the fill type then does that makes difference ?

Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

Hello,
I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
"The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
(Error code - 36)"
Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
Here are the specifications:
Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
"Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
Am I doing this the right way?
Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
Thanks

To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
Thanks Kappy

Why are some of the file folders on my desktop showing up with a shaded color?

Why are some of the folders on my desktop showing up with a different folder color, a dark shad of blue, opposed to the default blue color?
I've searched and searched but all I can find are posts on how to change the color of your folder. I am concerned that maybe, I accidentally shared it or have done something I am not aware of. (Mac Mini, 2.3 i7, 1TB, 16GB RAM running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2)

I don't know how many photos you're trying to post on one page but if you put too many PCs using Internet Explorer may have problems loading the page. I prefer to keep the number down to less than 50 and have more than one page which will be indicated by the page links at the top of the thumbnails:
These smaller pages will load faster and in more browsers.
