Bad video quality of final product when viewing on computer in full screen

It looks like a picture does when you blow it up and it's a low quality image. Everything I'm reading says the problem would be with the video capture...but I have the same bad quality when I'm viewing the menu! Around all the text on the menu, it's fuzzy and same with my video on the menu. So are my video clips in the movie itself.
I have tried playing it on Windows Media Player, the apple DVD program, and WinDVD and I get the same problem when I view it on full screen.
I assume my family will mostly be playing it on a TV. Do you think it will play properly or worse on a TV? I don't actually have a DVD player myself to test it out. Any suggestions on why this could be happening?
Thanks!

when I started using iDVD, one of the hardest adjustments for me to make was video quality on TV screen vs on computer screen. (I am used to satellite to S-Video TV and HD screens on my computer.)
My camera it a miniDV, and playback via SVideo to an Svideo TV screen is awesome.
I was sorely disappointed when I played the same tape back on the computer. It was grainy/fuzzy, etc. Same with the DVD I made.
But when I played the DVD back on the TV, the image quality was the same as when I connected the camera to the TV - crisp, sharp, video and text.
I've since burned numerous DVDs, and the result is always the same - blah on the computer, sharp on the TV.
As someone else in this thread stated, the average TV is low-res compared to the computer screen.
If I recall the spec correctly, standard NTSC is 240 line, SVideo is up to 500 line. HD is 720 line and higher...ergo an NTSC source is roughly 1/2 the resolution of the typical CPU screen, or 1/3 the resolution of low end HD screens. So yes, NTSC output on your computer screen will always be fuzzy compared to your TV screen.
I think you will likely be very pleased with the DVD when you playback on your TV.

  • Adobe Reader slow when mouse wheel scrolling in Full Screen mode.

    When I scroll a pdf in normal mode, its fine, but when I try to view in Full Screen mode, the scrolling is much more slower and it takes more rolls of the mouse wheel to get to the next page. Does anyone know how to improve the scrolling function of the Adobe Reader when viewing a document in full screen mode?

  • Still bad video quality

    even is catalyst cs 5.5 two of my problems do not resolve.
    bad video quality in fullscreen. i have some videos for offline view (768x576 @ 2600 kbps) but still fullscreen view is messed up, all blocky, not proper video interpolation. in vlc or any other player the flv file looks fine!
    the videos also have a 4:3 ratio and show white borders in fullscreen on a 16:9 screen in letterbox, how can make the borders black?
    is there any solution?

    Hi
    as example
    Creating a PAL movie in iMovie HD 6 then import this into a NTSC iDVD project
    • Works but with a losy quality
    I do use JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 and let this do the PAL to NTSC conversion
    Now burned as an NTSC iDVD project
    • Best result possibly without buying PRO-applications for $$$$$$$
    This way should work the other way around too.
    Most modern PAL DVD-players can playback NTSC (if TV is old in Bl/W)
    Most modern NTSC DVD-players can't playback PAL
    If playbacked on a Mac PAL or NTSC is of no interest.

  • Why do my photos get blurry when they are enlarged to full screen from the disc I burn, or played on the t.v.?  I set the burn on the highest quality.  The photos don't look blurry when enlarged from iphoto on the computer.

    Why do my photos that are transferred from iphoto to idvd, and then burned on DVD, look blurry when the idvd is shown full screen on computer or on t.v.  They don't look blurry when I enlarge the iphoto pics on the computer.  I used the 'prof. quality" encoding setting before burning, and before putting photos on idvd.

    Hi
    DVD is as standard - only interlaced SD-Video (as on old CRT-TVs) and can never be any better than this.
    This is less than a quarter of Your Mac screen resolution.
    That's one part of Why You can see High res. on Your Mac - and not on DVD.
    Next part is what program is used to make the SlideShow.
    If You use iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - to make it - it too degrades the final result as non of them can deliver interlaced SD-Video to iDVD but only half (every second line in the picture)
    I use
    • iMovie HD6 or
    • FinalCut (any version) or
    • FotoMagico™
    As they all delivers 100% of what iDVD or Toast™ or DVD Studio Pro or Whatever needs.

  • Imovie crashes when trying to play on full screen or when i try to upload to idvd any ideas i have reinstalled software?

    Imovie 09 when trying to play on full screen the program crashes also when trying to burn using idvd the program crashes. i have tried reinstalling software but get the same problem. Also some of my old projects that were ok before are doing the same, any ideas.

    Instead of Sharing to iDVD you want to Share to Media Browser. This will save the movie to a special folder inside of iMovie that you can then see from inside the iDVD program.
    Choose Share > Media Browser (it's at the top of the list)
    Choose the Large size and let it roll. It will take a while for it to work.
    When it's finished quit iMovie.
    Open iDVD, Create a new project.
    Go to the button labeled "Media" in the lower right hand corner of the iDVD window, and click it.
    Just above that is a window with some buttons across the top. Click on the button labeled "Movies".
    Inside the window you will see an iMovie star icon, double-click the triangle beside it to see all the movies being shared. Your iMovie project will appear there.
    Drag the iMovie project into your iDVD project.
    The quality of the final DVD is visibly better, sharper than if you were to Share directly to iDVD. So bypass Share to iDVD altogether and see if it stops crashing.

  • Viewing RAW images in full screen - problem

    I have begun to shoot some images in RAW mode with both my Nikon D70 and Nikon D200 - NEF format. I edit in Photoshop Elements, from withing iPhoto so that edited images are saved back to iPhoto.
    When I view edited images in full screen mode from iPhoto, the edited version will be shown briefly and then the unedited version pops up. Anyone know what this is all about and can it be stopped?
    Also, I am wondering why, when I right-click on a RAW image in iPhoto, one of my choices is "Reprocess RAW" whether I have edited it or not. And there is no choice to "Revert to original" as in non-RAW images.
    Marion

    I think you are referring to minor color and other editing done within iPhoto. I am talking about cropping and other major editing done in Photoshop Elements. This edited RAW image, by default, is saved back to iPhoto - but NOT as JPEG - where I can view it along with other RAW images I have not processed in any way.
    Yet, both edited and unedited images offer me the same option when I right click for the contextual menu - "Reprocess RAW." This is the place where "Revert to Original" appears when this menu is accessed from a JPEG image.
    When I use iPhoto edit, which I almost never do, it does indeed save the image as "JPEG image (from Nikon RAW)." And indeed I do then have the option to Revert to Original.
    Reprocess RAW works in the same way as Revert to Original. It was just mysterious to me why I was offered the opportunity to redo something I'd not done in the first place.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Paul ,
    It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.

  • I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen...  Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

    I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen...  Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

    I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account,
    What exactly did you do?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • Bad video quality with AMS and Citrix

    Some clients connects to our network with vpn Citrix and get the screen presentet from Citrix.

    Hi Drago
    It is very bad situation. Toshiba with every notebook must offer functioning product and because of that offer tested drivers. Those drivers are adapted for each notebook model and also have protecting function. That means the graphic card will not be forced to run on the highest level.
    As you can see with original driver you have problems playing some games. For me it is nothing unusual for mobile computers. Problem is that every modified driver is not supported and tested by notebook manufacturer. I recommend you to use tested Toshiba driver. At the end maybe you must make compromise between gaming and watching movies.
    By the way: are original DVD movies also so bad while you use preinstalled WinDVD?

  • Poor video quality of finished product

    Hi all,
    I have produced an mp4 file using imovie 08, in which I changed the MP4 settings in various ways such as setting the frame rate to 59.94 fps (as used by my Sanyo Xacti camcorder) the resolution to 640 x 480 and the data rate to 10,000 kbps. Some of the footage I used is from a Canon ixus stills digital camera - 640 x 480 30 fps, the rest is from the xacti - 640 x 480 59.94 fps. I produced the mp4 file for the edited video in PAL format, and I believe that means 25 fps.
    When viewed with Quicktime on the mac, it looks great. However, when burned, (and I have ensured that encoding is set to professional quality) I have played it on both the mac and my TV's DVD player and in both instances the video does not flow smoothly (it seems as if there is a problem with the frame per second rate??). It is lovely and smooth however when viewed as an mp4 file in Quicktime. Also, this does not only apply to the 60 fps footage from the xacti but also to the 30 fps footage from the Canon. AGHHHH Very annoying!
    Can anyone help??!!

    Don't know if this will help or not, but have you tried going into Expert Settings when exporting to Quicktime? It's Share>Quicktime and then when it asks to Compress Movie, select Expert Settings from the dropdown menu, then hit the Share button, then in the next window that opens (Save Exported File As..) choose Options, and a whole range of alternatives opens up. Maybe you've been there.
    My personal hang-up is the titles. No matter what you do, they always seem to end up as low resolution with ragged edges on the finished product.
