Compressor outputs pixelated H.264 video when using a virtual cluster

Hey all,
So for some reason, when I use compressor to convert my HDV .mov file to H.264, if I am using a virtual cluster (8 core Mac Pro5,1)the end product comes out pixelated. However, I just tried again without the virtual cluster, and it came out normal as usual. Anyone know what I am missing? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Whoops, I'm clearly not paying attention. The images are a little small so it's hard to see, but the first image is without the quick cluster, and the second is with the quick cluster

Pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

Problem is:
Flash Player for IE11 (which is the worst browser ever developed - BAR NONE) is a Microsoft product, when it comes right down to it.
Adobe writes the base code and yes, they do collaborate on updates for it, but the gang in Redmond alter the plug-in and add "proprietary" code before embedding it, and at that point it's "their baby".
There are two (2) registry keys - 1 for 32 bit IE and the other for 64 bit IE, as well as a KB patch that prevent all but the most experienced Windows users from ever touching the Flash Player plug-in for IE. So there's NO WAY you could have done a clean install of the ActiveX plug-in in Windows 8. Unless you're an uber-geek, you can only update it through Windows Update.
WIn 8 is an abomination and IE11 made it worse. IE has always been the "problem child" of browsers, failing to handle CSS, Javascript, some PHP and most design "tweaks" that good webmasters can use with other browsers, trouble free.
I have IE8 on XP, 9 on VIsta, 11 on 7, 10 on 8 and 11 on 8.1... but they're all for testing only. I'd have to be out of my mind to ever think of using IE as my primary browser. ActiveX controls have to be disabled formost stuff and that opens millions of security holes in IE.
You've got a good video card and a decent sound card. It's a shame to waste them on a pile of garbage like IE, just because it came with Windows.

I get sound no video when using AirPlay. Any ideas?

Do you get an "HDCP error"?
Since the last ATV software update, I have had problems playing You Tube content from the iPad to the ATV using airplay, yet the same content from the You Tube channel on the ATV plays fine. I get the dreaded "HDCP error" which is nonsense, as YouTube content does not have this protection. Netflix also gives the same error. (I have posted seperately about this problem.)
I have had a couple of years of fault-free playing with my setup, the only thing that has changed is the Apple ATV software. Ergo, they need to fix whatever bug they introduced. None of the recommended "fixes" have worked.

Here is detail about the bicubic sampling option added in After Effects CC (12.0):

As Rick says, you can get even better results for many videos (though at the expense of longer processing time) using the new Detail-Preserving Upscale effect added in After Effects CC (12.1):

Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

if you by AUX mean composite or component then likely not as they would not be able to support a high enough resolution to do any type of airplay mirror
hdmi should work though

there is also the vga version but vga don't carry audio so it may not be that fun

Compressor outputs white screen for video?

Hi Folks,
Just bought FCP Studio 3 a few days ago.
I'm on a new mac pro quad 2.66 running latest rev of SL.
Here's the deal:
I took a 1 hour 33 minute edited DV movie from within FCP 7.
output a reference QT file.
went into QT and saved the text files (if i don't, i won't save the chapters).
following this great video for setting up a cluster between my 2 mac pros
http://vimeo.com/1799266
chose the Best 90 minute DVD setting for ac3 and mpeg2 at 6.2
ran it.
video is completely white. sound is there, but i don't get it?
when I go into compressor and click on my video file, I can see the footage in the screen on the right hand side. I thought maybe the reference file didn't include the video (ie. maybe I selected it wrong), but it's there.
Any ideas?
I ran a search on 'white screen' and 'white video', but nothing came up?
Cheers,
keebler

Hi folks,
just wanted to let you know that I believe the problem stemmed from me not choosing the DV NTSC 48 khz setting instead of 'current settings'. Once I chose DV etc... it was good to go.

Lumia 1020 auto focus in video when used in apps.....

Hi. If I want to take a video clip up close using the Nokia Lumia 1020 on WhatsApp or Skype, the auto focus just will not fire. It stays zoomed out, and is only useful for taking clips really far away. This is incredibly frustrating given that I bought this phone for the camera.
Is this a bug in the phone? or is my phone broken?
Auto focus only works when using the actual camera app. Skype and WhatsApp seem to ignore the "auto focus" setting that I've turned on in the default camera app and the Nokia Camera app...
Really disappointed.
Jez

not sure as i haven't used those apps myslef, but for example, if you use Vine, there is a setting in there that allows you to lock the focus. it appears to me that auto-focus isn't automatically enabled / enabled at all in certain apps. you will need to contact the developers of the apps themselves for further feedback, as this is a user to user forum only for Nokia products and services.

VM Activation problem when using Internal Virtual Switch mode

Hello,
I have setup Windows 2012 R2 Standard Version host machine. Hyper-V setup successful. Host machine already activate license.
I have got a problem is when VM connecting with Internal virtual Switch. It will not able to process Windows activation. If it connected using External Virtual Switch, it can successful do windows activation. However, using External Virtual
Switch, one more WAN IP will be used.
I am using ICS method to share the network interface to Internal Virtual Switch.
Is it what problem and how to resolve it?
Thanks!

Hi Gyorgy,
What is the version of your guest operating system? Why not we create an External Virtual switch to access Internet when using Hyper-V guest system? (Some reference if needed:Hyper-V Virtual Switch
Overview )
The network connection seems to be fine, if you mean the webpage can't be displayed through Internet Explorer, please take a look at the article below:
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error
For more information, please check:
Fixing "Page cannot be displayed"

Only imports audio, no video when using DSLR .mov files

I just upgraded to CS6 on my Mac Lion. I created a project using the DSLR settings and tried to import a .mov video clip taken from my Canon 5D camera. Strange thing is it only imported the audio and not the video. I tried many of clips and just audio.
As tests, I tried importing a .mpeg clip from an HDV camcorder and it worked fine. I also changed the extension of the DSLR clip to .mpeg and it still didn't work. The DSLR clips imported fine in CS4, but not CS6. Also as another test, I tried importing on a different Mac computer using Premiere Pro CS6 (from creative cloud) and it imported perfectly. So I'm not sure why it's doing it on my computer? The files open fine in QuickTime.
The only thing that worked was I exported the .Mov files from the DSLR to a HDV .Mov file and it DID import correctly. I don't want to have to go through that step everytime though (or loss the quality)
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

I too am having this problem. The video I am trying to import is a .MOV file from a Canon 5D Mark III. When I check the properties of the file in Premiere Pro 5.5, this is what it says:

As you can see PP 5.5 notices the video; it even tells me the # of frames in the video but it won't display it. It might be worth saying the video files from my Canon XF100 work just fine. This is extremely frustrating. Any help would be very much appreciated.

"Output could not be issued" when using custom page formats

Dear all,
I created a custom page format using SPAD. Its dimension is 7.5cm x 10cm (190mm x 254mm). I also created this page format in windows and set as the default paper size in my printer. However, when trying to print a smartform using this size, the message "Output could not be issued" is given. When I use the standard paper sizes (e.g., LETTER, DINA4), the form prints OK.
Can you point me to the direction to solving this?
Thank you!
Kyle

Issue resoved.
For those who are encountering the same problem, here's what I did. I tested the smartform by itself and it reported the specific error: the page format is not supported in device type SWIN. I added it in another device type SAPWIN. This was just a simple miscommunication between the admins and the developer. I added the format in SWIN and everything works fine.

No video when using a movie edited in iMovie

Hello
i need some help. I imported and edited a movie in iMovie which I know would be too big to make in iDVD so I decided to use Toast 7.
I got the QT movie from the iMovie file and dragged it to Toast to make the DVD. It encoded it just fine but when it was done, the audio was there but no video. It was all black.
now when i did a preview, the video and sound was there.
How did this happen? any way to rectify this issue?
Thanks

Hi BM:
You need to remove the chapter markers in imovie prior to burning in toast. it's a known Roxio bug.

HT204291 No video when using Airplay with some of my apps. I just get the sound.

When I am using Airplay on my IPad and using the Redbox Instant app I just get sound on my Apple TV and no video. What is wrong?

It hasn't been enabled for airplay, that is something the developer has to do

Can't play sounds on videos when using 'Facebook', music plays

On my wife's iPad she cannot hear sound from video clips when in 'Facebook', but she can hear sound when she opens iTunes. Any help, suggestions?

Sorry I don't. It just happens at random and usually most YouTube videos and other similar styled videos. I'm not really a tech guy but it just seems like there is something else going on. Everything else on my PC works fine except when I want to open a video using flash. It isn't just one site or one video it is nearly every flash video and it's almost like they're loading one at a time except in no order if there is more than one tab. Even if it is just one video, it takes a long time to load.
Imagine going to YouTube to load up a vid and the controls or progrss bar never load, it just stops and only a solid black box is displayed. Eventually the controls load and it seems like it's about to play at any moment.. only the waiting lasts 5 minutes. Even if you refresh it still has to do this all over again.

Problem Capturing Video when using A/D converter

I'm reasonably new to Final cut, but not a complete novice.
I have had good success in the past capturing video and also using the log and batch capture feature using a DV tape in my camcorder and having FCP control the camcorder.
Now I tried something that I have done in my past when I was using imovie 06. I have a VHS tape in my VCR connected to my Mac through my camcorder which acts as an A/D converter.
The problem is that when I do a log/capture and capture now, I start my VCR and see the video in the viewer but the capture window says that it can't find a timecode and remains black.
Can someone give me some advise on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the help.. could you point me in the right direction on where I set this setting? I looked in my Lisa Brenneis FCP6 book and I can't find a 'capture protocol' in the index.
Thanks,
Steve.
