Why the inconsistency in video resolution sizes?

This is really driving me nuts! Kinda annoying to buy legal stuff and find the video resolution size consistency is all over the place!!!
For example, Leverage, Season 5. There are three different video resolution sizes for both SD & HD. 853x480, 853x478 and 853x476!!! For SD video it used to be just 853x480. But now, it's all over the place in one single season. Same goes for HD videos. Bones, Season 8 too. And now Burn Notice, Season 6.
Some say can't see the 2 to 4 pixel height difference. Well, it's not a matter of whether one's ability to see the difference or not. Rather it spells bad quality for buying something more expensive than DVD or Blu-ray. And coming from Apple?
Mr. Eddy Cue, where's the consistency and quality?

The inconsistency surfaced this year. When back and checked past years purchases and things were consistant then.

Why the inconsistency with the "Droid" name and Android devices.

This seems like poor marketing to me.
Verizon made such a big deal about the name DROID.
The was the DROID and the DROID ERIS, now there is the DROID INCREDIBLE and the DROID X and soon to be the DROID 2.
But why is there the Moto Devour and LG Ally instead of the DROID DEVOUR by Motorola and the DROID ALLY by LG?

I can't help it just say Incredible, or HTC Incredible. I leave out the "droid" nonsense because I always get some cell phone illiterate person saying "you got a droid cool, my entire family just got free ones on an upgrade". You know what I'm saying. It's just annoying to have to explain or show people what I have and what they have or want..
I really wish VZW let Moto only use that term.
Back when the Incredible was a rumor it was cool to think something different was coming out. They announced it as the HTC "Droid" Incredible. Geez.... Whatever....
YEah I get what they are doing but it is leading to a lot of irritation. People talk about the DROID and could be talking about any of them. So yeah I just call them the Droid (moto Droid), Incredible (HTC DROID Incredible), Eris (HTC DROID ERIS), Ally (LG Droid ALLY), Devour (Moto Droid Devour), Droid X (because DROID X just sounds awesome even if Droid is over done). I would like a Samsung personally mostly because I have had nothing but good experiences with Samsung phones and since my Droid was good with phone calls (better after some modding) I have to think that a Samsung Android phone would be Gnarly on VZW. It is odd but it seems to me certain manufacturers are better on GSM and some are better on CDMA. Samsung and LG seem better on CDMA where Motorola and a few others are better with GSM. Or at least that has been my experience with feature phones over the last what 15 years. Or I guess not when ever 3G came out would be GSM/CDMA but also back when I was on Sprint, Bell South, and GTE, Bell South I had great luck with Nokia and Moto - Eventually they became GSM and were swollowed by AT&T a few years ago, Sprint my Moto was good but I always had better signals with Samsung and LG phones, and GTE which shortly after was swollowed by Verizon has always been good with Samsung and LG (LG has been a little more hit or miss they have had a few misses though which is why I am more excited about Samsung than LG) and the MOTOROLA phones I had were the ones where I was counting the days until my upgrade.
The DROID name is about branding. They want to stand out as a big ANDROID player and one way to do that is to snatch up as many Android phones as you can get the manufacturers to make you and the other is to unify their image on your network with Branding. The idea being to get people thinking DROID and kind of downplay the Motorola, HTC, LG, Samsung, etc roles. Really it is something Google should have thought and had it on all the Android phones but Verizon is using it mostly for marketing purposes. It makes for some interesting commercials and has been successful. What gets me though is when people refer to EVO and Mytouch Slide as Droids because they are Android phones. LOL. Doesn't bother me but probably would bother Verizon if it ever made it to a major platform. The marketing is so effective it is about to be like Jello and Aspirin and Coke in the south. Any gelatin desert or generic Aspirin or soda is called by one of these names no matter who makes it. Bayer lost that battle a long time ago but the other two persist.

I'm getting the error "article in the folio has different resolution size"

All my pages are portrait and the folio's set to 768x1024 - the articles within the folio are 768 in width.
What could be causing this problem? I definitely have 'facing pages' unticked.

Hi there scarbo59,
You mentioned that you are still able to import without issues, but you may still want to run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in the article below.

Cisco VPN Client - Poor Video Resolution

I have a customer that installed VPN Client version 4.8.01.0300 and now, when she starts the client, her video resolution will change from High Quality (32bit) color to a basic color scheme (16 bit). It looks awful. She can change the video setting once the client software is started and it is fine or change it to 32bit after the client session, but the next time she starts the client, it goes back to 16bit. I have looked, but can't find a solution to this.

I think it could be a problem with the device driver or the video codec. It can be checked by playing some other video clips locally stored or playing a streaming video.

What kind of processing does "export" do? (i.e., why the huge size reduction of the .mov?)

I have a .mov video I imported into imovie 11. All I did was add a title bar at the beginning. The original video size was 2.35GB. The exported .mov is 985MB. Why the size reduction? What processing happens on export? Does it affect quality. It was originally 1080p, 24 fps, .mov file from my video camera.

iMovie converted your file to a "more compressed" codec on export. Most likely when iMovie imported your video file, it converted your video file to AIC, a native codec that iMovie works with comfortably on high definition video (before importing into iMovie, your video file could be also quite small). AIC file takes a lot of space. Exported video files are for viewing, not for editing, so by default iMovie compresses the file to reduce the size. In fact you can change the default settings on export in iMovie (in menu "Share", "Export using Quicktime...").
Yes it affects quality, but usually you won't notice the difference. It depends on your viewing facility. Unless you have a high-end projector with 150' high-end screen, or a great video card with Eizo monitor, don't bother. In any case, you can always adjust the iMovie export settings to satisfy your eyes.

Why doesn't my video fit on the TV screen?

hey everyone. i hope theres answer to this. so i made a little slideshow/movie with imovie and then sent it over to idvd so that i could make a dvd out of it. with everything set in standard (4:3 or.. is it 3:4) mode, i thought itd come out fine, but both of my TVs seem to be cropping off just a little around the edges of my movie! why is that? is there anyway i can fix it? i used the zoom effect on the pictures, so with the cropping its "zooming" too much... but it looks fine on my imac screen... am i doing something wrong?
thanks in advance!
chris

actually its not a cropping effect of iDVD, it's actually a cropping effect done by the TV. if you play it in say...apple DVD player, you will see everything because computer monitors (unless you set it up wrong) don't crop images.
TV does this whole cropping thing (called "Overscan" in the industry) because back in the day (and to some extent still today), CRT TVs (the big clunky ones that aren't LCD or Plasma) are very sensitive to power ratings...if you turn on something that uses a lot of electricity...say a Vaccum, the CRT will actually shrink the video in size until you turn the vaccum off. This causes some consumers to think there is something wrong with the TV and they return it. The industry solved this problem by setting the TV tube to show display everything on the glass plus some on the internal cabin of the TV (which is the part of the picture you don't see). that way, when something draws a lot of power, the whole image doesn't shrink smalller than the display surface...it just fills it. Thus, giving the consumer the benefit of the doubt.
However, with the emergence of Plasma and LCD TVs, I'd say Overscan will be a thing of the past in a few years.

I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of so

I'm having problems uploading video taken with my iPhone 4 to Photobucket. FB will not accept the file extension which is ex. IMG_423. They will play on my computer and will upload to Facebook. Why is the phone taking video with this file instead of something like .mov or mp4. How can I change the extension after the fact and avoid it in the future?

You said, "the 4 also has signal and wifi whereas the 5 has only wifi". By "signal", I'm assuing that you mean cellular signal. If so, that means your iPhone 4 is still active on your cellular number and your iPhone 5 is not. Contact your carrier to sort out which phone is active on your account.

From some reason (i'm not sure why..) my whole iphoto library got deleted. I restored the whole library from my backup. The photos are blank but steel have the photo info. (date, res., size etc.) Do you know what's the prob.? why can't i see my pics.

It's says that file does not exist. How come? And why does it still show the image info.?
Where can i find those files (i have a daily backup)
The original image files are missing form your iPhoto library or iPhoto cannot find them, because the link to the originals has been broken. The image info is stored in the internal libraries, independent of the original files. That is, why you are still seeing them.
I restored the whole library from my backup.
Try restoring from an older backup, from before you first noticed the problem.
How large is the library, that you restored? Is the file size large enough to hold all your photos, or has the size been reduced? If the library is still large, the photos may still be inside, even if iPhoto cannot find them.
It's says that file does not exist. How come?
What happened, before your iPhoto library got deleted? Which applications have you been running, or which new software have installed or upgraded? Have you moved the library to a different disk or tried to use it from different user account or access it over the network?

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? :( HElp me please..

why the audio of my video in my itunes is not playing when i fullscreen it? HElp me please..

Hi eversonjm,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you are out of authorizations but only have 1 computer, deauthorizing all computers and reauthorizing your correct computer might be a good idea. See this article for instructions:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
If after deauthorizing and reauthorizing your computer, you are still not authorized for the 96 songs, this article has some steps for seeing the account name that was used to purchase a song, in the event that a different account may have been used:

Why, after three months of apple tv working perfectly fine, is it now cutting out constantly and the audio and video out of sinc?!@

Why, after three months of apple tv working perfectly fine, is it now cutting out constantly and the audio and video out of sinc?

Playing rentals, Netflix, from local iTunes, other?
Firstly restart router and AppleTv after unpowering to see if that helps - may or may not but quick and easy to try.
Connection via ethernet or wifi? If wifi are there any new devices in the house which may be causing interference or new neighbouring networks? If feasible try to eliminate wifi issues by using an ethernet connection.

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.

ITunes U can not change the video view size to 1x

After updating to iOS 6, I realised that the iTunes U video play can only display the maximal size view which makes the video quality very poor and there isn't any way for to change the video to 1x size. I wonder if anyone has found a solution for this issue yet. Thank you and look forward to hearing answers about this issue.
