Having problems with video quality in iDVD 09

I have created a slide show in iMovie with audio. When saved it is in a .mov format. I burned it to DVD using the burn folder option. It has great video quality in that format. Since most DVD players won't accept the .mov format or some PC's, I wanted the most common format for viewing. I exported the movie to iDVD and used these settings..
Video Mode-NTSC
Aspect Ration 16:9 widescreen
Encoding-Professional Quality
DVD Type-Single-Layer (SL)-4.2 GB
When going from the .mov format to the MPEG-2 format ( I think this is the output format for iDVD)
The quality is very poor. It seems to have wavy lines throughout the file, especially when someone is wearing patterned clothing.
Anyone know how to get the same quality of the .mov file to something that will be viewable across multiple platforms???
Would using moviegate conversion software be an answer????

a mov can contain all kind of codecs and esp. resolutions..
a videoDVD, by standards, has a 720x480 res, and is interlaced.
=> quality HAS to be 'lower' than any 5Mpix on a HiDef computer screen..
but, I did tons of slideshows with iMHD6 and iDVD.. for me, quality is superb.. for sure, tiny 'checker patterns', 'sub pixel lines' etc. HAVE to flimmer..

  • I'm having problems with videos, they shake and the images break up back and forth into striped colors, how do I fix this?

    I'm having problems with videos, they shake and the images break up back and forth into striped colors, how do I fix this?

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
    Up

    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

    Exactlly which model iMac do you have?
    see > How to identify iMac models
    Unfortunately that is not all that uncommon for the Early Intel iMac's given there age and the fact that the air intakes are probably choked with dust. Then add the extra heat caused by running a more intense OS X which is causing it to run a little warmer than normal and putting extra stress on the graphic and display components.
    My 6½ year old 17" Early 2006 Core Duo w/2GB of RAM is also running 10.6.8 and is also starting to get a single line that (knock on wood) goes away after a few minutes, while many others started getting permanent ones after 2 or 3 years. One thing that I think has helped, is that about every 3 or 4 months I shutdown and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work and small vent under the stand to keep it running cool.
    On that note: unfortunately I can only suggest that you clean your intake vents and hope that no permanent or irreversible damage has been done.

  • I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

    I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

    Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
    Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

  • Problem with video, Quality gets all messed up

    I'm burning a video thats about an hour and even minutes long, with about 3 short little extra videos on there that are about five minutes long each
    I burned the DVD with best quality.
    The Menus are fine, and two of the short videos are fine
    but after like 5 minutes on the main video, it starts to get all distorted and chopy and all this green distortion comes up and its just a mess
    I would burn it with best performance, but it says its to long for that
    I NEED HELP!!

    QT and FCP show you different colors. You need to go into QT and enable FCP color compatibility. I believe it is in the SHOW MOVIE PROPERTIES, then the VIdeo track, then VISUAL SETTINGS. Somewhere in there.

  • Problem with Video Quality when exporting to Quicktime or using compressor

    I've attempted exporting a video sequence (stills with transitions, video footage and audio tracks) directly as a QuickTime Movie and using Compressor (Apple-DVD-HD_30 Minutes) for import into DVD Studio. The export process seems to work well for each. Only problem: the video seems to get a bit distorted at random spots. The best way to describe the distortion: images (still and video) seem to blur and squiggle for a few frames at a time. This distortion is especially prevalent during more complex transitions (3 Spins and such). The sequence is nice and clean in Final Cut. I'm only seeing this distortion after export. Thanks for any thoughts you might have on this issue.

    @Harm,
    "Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
    @John,
    Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
    First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
    Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

  • PE3 problems with video quality when exporting

    I've had this issue when putting DVD movies I own onto my iPod, but because I'm doing a client video now, it's crucial that I get the highest possible video and sound quality out of my project. Because the project I'm working on will be about 45 minutes long, I wanted to avoid working on the whole thing in one file since Premiere begins to refuse to let me do the simplest functions if I have too many clips in the timeline. I've been splitting the project up into segments and my plan is to export them and work with them as single clips when compiling the final project together.
    Now here's my problem: I export the segments as HDV 1080 60i files for the highest quality possible, but whenever the exported file is played, these horizontal lines appear on the screen. It's as if the colors are smeared a bit. I honestly don't know how else to describe it. On an iPod, it's only slightly noticeable, but on TV screens like this project will be played on, it'll be too distracting to be acceptable. Can anyone help me out here?

    No, all I'm trying to do is export it to the highest quality video so it can be put back into Premiere to be exported again along with several other clips (also exported in the same way). From there, I'll use different software to burn the entire file onto a DVD. No Blu-Ray, no camcorders, not even firewire connections (my computer doesn't have any). It's just going to be used by some 150 families to be viewed on their DVD players once the product is finished.

  • Anyone else having problems with Video Playlist?

    I've seen a few posts on the board regarding this problem, however none of which seem to be addressing the main issue. We're unable to create video playlists, at least not in the conventional way. Does anyone know if the iPod Touch simply doesn't support video playlists? I have a number of music videos that I have created a playlist for and on my touch it is automatically grouped in with 'Music' not 'Video' and therefore doesn't display any of the video content, only plays the music for the video. I know for certain that this playlist is valid, it works GREAT on my Video Ipod.
    Has anyone had any success with creating a music video playlist? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    My music videos (files with "Music Video" chosen on the Kind tab) appeared at the very bottom of the Touch's video library all by themselves. The library list seems to have three sections: Movies at the top, TV in the middle, and music vids at the bottom.

  • Having problems with Video and Audio

    Hi - I am new to Captivate.  I have created a demostration with about 85 slides with audio on each slide.  When I preview the project all is fine.  When I publish the swf and htm and play on my machine all is fine.  However when my colleagues try and listen to the demo, the video and audio get out of sync.  The audio seems to go faster than the video.  I am not sure if it is due to the sound speeding up or the video slowing down.  Has anybody seen this bfore ?  Can anybody help ?  I am using Captivate 4 with the latest patch

    Hi there
    I've seen others suggest that adjusting the audio clips for each slide so they begin playing at perhaps .1 or .2 seconds after the slide begins solves the issue.
    Perhaps you will have good luck with this approach as well.
    Cheers... Rick

  • I was having problems with video and audio on certain sites like youtube. I edited some settings in Realplayer and have video now, but no audio.

    Went into preferences on Realplayer, Download and recording, then unchecked "Enable Web Downloading and Recording...". That got video going, but no audio still. (Interesting that the list of browsers below that check box did NOT include Firefox.

  • I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
    When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
    But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
    It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
    I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
    But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
    If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

    I'm having a similar issue.  When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render.  Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing.  I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it.  Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

  • I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update.  Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before.  Help!  Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

    I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update.  The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing.  Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating!  I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help.   I would appreciate any suggestions.  Thanks.

    I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
    This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
    As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
    Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
    Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.
