Why are the video player change size when resizing the window a little?

When I use the video player to show mp4 files, the "player window" changes size if I change the firefox window. Why and how do I do to get the correct size direct (640x480)

Hi john3,
This can be the resolution of the screen or the site detecting screensize, do you have a url we can take a look at to determine what's going on?
Thank you!

I do underwater video and add still photos to the video I create. When playing the video the still shots show distorted lines in any design in the picture and as it transitions to the next photo it clears up for a split second. What is causing this?

The photos are clear for the firt instant the appear during palyback and for the 3 or 4 seconds they are on the screen any pattern or design in the photo, say a patterned tablecloth, the pattern goes wavy, distorted, and then at the last moment before moving on the photo goes clear and smooth. It looks like when the picture goes in the "freeze" mode it distorts and when releasing for the next photo it smooths out again. This is really messing up some very good underwater still shots and land photos. I'm using a transition between photos and not using Ken Burns effect. Could use some help on this. Thanks.

so. to summarize your workflwo in my own words:
you're applying 12Mpix stills to an iMovie project
(btw: what setting has the iM project…?)
iMovie doesn't do interlaced internally…
you then 'share to iDVD'
as far as we know, iM converts to some h.264 file…
iDVD has to convert that again, to finally create a standard DVD:
720x480pix, interlaced = 0.3Mpixel resolution (yes, zero.point.three )
and, you're watching via a projector - most projectors have a non-video-resolution e.g. 800x600, 1200x800:
again, scaling effects.
so, tons of scaling/resizing, tons of comversions …
a) use any graphic tool (your Mac's Preview.app?) to scale the pics BEFORE import to iMovie to your Projects resolution (1920x0180, 1280x720, 720x480); choose tiff or png as doemat, avoid jpg
=> this avoids lossy scaling effect in iM
b) if DVD is your only delivery media, set iMovie's Project preferences to your TV-Standard (PAL/NTSC)
c) from iMovie, use 'Export using Quicktime', and in its options, choose AppleIntermediateCodec as … codec
=> this exports iMovies internal timeline without lossy conversions
d) set iDVD manually to same standard as your iMproject, 25/PAL or 30/NTSC
e) stay under 60min of length to allow max. quality
f) try to find a resolution on that laptop that comes close to DVDs res; synch res of laptop with proejctor
g) consider iDVD solo to create a slideshow; avoids any lossy 'inbetween steps' due to iMovie; very limited in terms of 'creation' … creates a slideshow (with music and transitions)
h) consider to avoid the DVD process at all; export from iMovie a 'file'; use a usb-stick to transfer to playback-computer; allows HighDef! DVD is SDef only ...
to create a file whic is compatible with any computer, follow my advice here:
How to create a video for playback with Windows/XBox/PS3/… etc?
For maximum quality of stills, I would use iDVD only (disk, but SDef only);
or avoid disks at all, create a charming HDef iMovie project and transfer via stick

Is the Video player in ios 5 for the iPhone the same as the one for iPad? (No continuos play)

I can't believe Apple did this. With all the cool, well thought out software they produce I just can't understand why it takes 2 taps to get a video going, let alone play continuosly through a play list of videos (as videos, not audio only). I am assuming that it's the same as iPad 2's setup. I haven't updated my 3gs for this reason. I do a lot of intertaining where I will frequently plug my phone into the big screen and play a bunch of videos unattended. Very dissappointed that the iPad won't do this and see that IOS 5 for iPhone has a seperate app for videos now so I'm assuming its the same. Anybody know of a third party app that will play my music videos continuosly from a playlist? Developers?

So much for luck. I would have been luckier not automagically upgrading to iOS5 on my iPad2 without knowing what functionality would be lost. I can't believe video playlist organization functionality is gone with this upgrade.
I tried both of the above mentioned fixes and neither of them works as the iPod playlist does. Apple has not provided these third party rights with the ability to sync with your playlist so if your like me and have hundreds of clips, so much for organizing your videos the way you want and could before. And why should I have to spend hours manually loading files? I bought the iPad knowing it had video playlist functionality. If Apple had stated prior to upgrading from iOS4 to iOS5 that I would loose the video playlist features I would not have upgraded. I was thinking of also purchasing an iPhone but no way now that this critical function is not there. Think about it, my one inch nano screen and 2 inch iPod Classic have the video playlist ability, but the iPad which is meant one would think more for the video experience than the smaller devices has the playlist functionality removed.
I was a recent convert over to Apple, also purchased an iMac last month, but my recent erroneous upgrade to iOS5 has left a bad feeling with Apple. I mean really, you can't go back to iOS4? What is the support you pay for Apple if you can't go back to the original software. Such a large sophisticated company and they can't make there customers happy by just bringing them back to the version they purchased? There is no IT company in the world that can not go back to a previous version of software but apparently you can't with Apple?
Doesn't Apple think we should be able to test the new software prior to accepting it? isn't that only fair? The way there running this your blindly being led to something you don't really know what your getting. Atleast when you purchase the product you can go in and see it, etc.
Really, really disappointed.

Why are there CORBA error messages -- COMM_FAILURE when using the orb obj?

Hi Guys,
I followed the tutorial http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/idl/GShome.html
compiled and run the code. Everything works fine however whenever I use the ORB orb object I get the following message
both in my Naming Service and the HelloServer output:

Figure out the actual problem is when the naming service is resolving the name on line:
helloImpl = HelloHelper.narrow(ncRef.resolve_str(name));

Photos and layouts change size when adding photos in book layout

I am using the Classic layout to create books.
Sometimes, when I move a photo down into the layout, unpredictable things happen. For example, when I drag a photo down onto the page layout, sometimes the photo will change sizes, and sometimes the layout will move around (esp. with 3 or 4 images on a page). On a page with a single image, sometimes the photo comes in large, and sometimes it shrinks. On a 3 photo per page layout, sometimes the layout starts with 3 photo boxes in a row. I can add one or two, and then I add another (could be the 1st, 2nd or 3rd - it's the image file that I think triggers the change) and all the boxes scramble and instead of a row of 3 equal-sized boxes, now I have a page with 1 big and 2 small boxes. Totally unpredictable!
Is there any way to control this?
All the photo files I'm starting with are high resolution tiffs, around 8 inches square (most are squares, not 4x6 snapshots) at 300 dpi.
I have had this issue on 3 computers (and probably 2 different versions of iPhoto): a 2-year-old G5, and two brand new iMacs.
Any help or advice is welcome. Thanks.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you Control-click on the square photo in a book frame you can select the "Fit photo to frame size" option and the entire image will be contained in the frame. there will be some white space on the short side.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can the video player for FlashDVD be configured to show download progress?

The video I'm using for a FlashDVD is about 1GB in f4v format, so it takes awhile to fully download. It's choppy until it's fully downloaded. It would be nice if the video player used for FlashDVDs showed the progress of the background dowloading of the video, the same way that all other video players do.
Is this configurable, or is it showing, but the colors are so subtle that I can't see it?
Can this be configured so I can see a clear progress for the download?

I'm guessing, but my guess is "no." I am assuming it is not present currently.
Configuring the progress bar ends up with code in the swf. It COULD be made configurable by putting variables for the code in the theme.xml, but it is not.

What is the JavaScript function to disable the auto-loop feature for the Video Player Plus Widget?

I have PDF's with links to streaming video that play using the native video skin. The Video Player Plus widget auto starts the video by default.
Can someone please tell me how to disable this???
Thanks in advance!

And in CS4, if there is not a matching Preset, you can choose the Desktop Preset, which will allow you to customize nearly every attribute to match your source footage. The name is a bit of a misnomer, but has been around for a long time. I would have called it the "Custom Preset," but Adobe never called.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I just learned something new about CS5 from Curt, because of your question - thanks!

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why is the video audio white noise when I share my project since I updated to 10.0.9

On the movies I created before I updated to 10.0.9, the audio prortion of the video is now white noise. The audio is fine when played back in FCP, but when i share the project it is white noise. When I burn it to BluRay the audio is gone all together. Even when I make a master file to my desktop, it still happens. The music I added to my project is fine. It just the audio that is part of the video clips that is affected. I've turned off the EQ's and Compressors I was using and I even tried moving the audio to the center channel instead of mono. No luck. Need some help. I can't figure this out.

I'm encountering the same problem as the original poster. In my case, I'm using FCP 10.1 (running on OS 10.9.1). My source file is DV video imported via FireWire from a DV camcorder. The clip's audio is fine when playing inside of Final Cut Pro 10.1, but when I share the project the audio track is just white noise. My share settings are to Apple 720p devices (the subseqent dialog boxes indicate the software has figured out it's really 640x480 video).
Here's what the QuickTime Inspector says about the source file:
Format:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
Linear PCM, 16-bit little-endian signed integer, 48004.6 Hz, Mono
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 5.87 GB
Data Rate: 30.30 Mbit/s
Current Size: 640-480 (actual)
I tried changing from "faster encode" to "better quality", but it made no difference.
The rather dated version of Compressor I have (v3.5.3) was able to encode the clip to H.264 640x480 and the results are fine. However, it took way longer than FCP 10.1 (I think it's too old to be taking advantage of the GPU).

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

Welcome to the unity.
Upon which device are you watching your movies and are you using a home theatre system for your audio.

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

Why are my videos not playing the right way up

Why are my videos not playing the right way up

I took four video clips while on a trip this week. Two are oriented the right way (playing wide on the device and imported correctly). The other two are Tall and not oriented right. Orientation is 90 degrees to the right. I don't know why this is happening on occasions. Even some pictures I took did the same **** thing. It's weird. And I can't figure it out. The camera is held the way I want the pictures and videos to be recorded and played but something internal is turning these videos and pictures 90 degrees clockwise.

Desktop icons change size when I move the cursor

Intermittently, when I move the cursor with my trackpad, the desktop icons change size—minimize going from 44 to 16 icon size. This happens with the Finder in the foreground or background.
I think there's a fix, but I cannot find it.
All help appreciated,
Bill

Press Command-Option-8. Someone apparently turned on Zoom. (See System Preferences > Universal Access and click the Options button next to Zoom for more information.)
