Poor video quality with component cable streaming from iphone to tv

Purchased a component cable on the advise of someone at the online apple store. I wanted to stream Netflix, You Tube and HBO GO from my iphone 4 to tv. Both the video and audio or are terrible! There is a constant buzz despite the fact that all connectors are tight. The video is green, squashed and looks like a 20th generation copy of an old video tape. HBO GO will only show the opening screen (which looks great for some reason) but wont play at all. Netflix and YouTube have the above issues with quality. Is this the best the $45 dollar cable will produce? If so, I wish they would have told me that! Am I doing something wrong? If not, back to the store it goes!
I have limited bandwidth and was hoping to use my 3G (which is unlimited) to avoid overages if I chose to stream movies. Any help would be appreciated!

Which iphone do you have?
Netflix only provides this feature for iphone 4, ipod touch 4th gen and ipad.

TV@nywhere Master poor video quality with 6800 GT

I have the TV@nywhere master (8606-020) and it was working fin with my NVIDIA Geforce 6800 GT OC (256MB) but when I updated the driver to their latest version, every time I would go full-screen in MSIPVR it would make lines all through the video. I reinstalled drivers, MSIPVS and same thing. I then rolled back the NVIDIA driver, and the issue disappeared. Anyone have the same issue and know how to use the new driver from NVIDIA and get it working right? Thanks!
- Mike

Hi:
Thaniks for writing back. My comment really was directed at ellucidating how many others might have poorer quality using Nvidia 6800-based graphics cards as the originator of this thread implicated. Second, as to your comments, it would seem a good idea to stay with the old drivers. The new drivers were supposed to solve TitanTV directed recordings; this they do better, but still insufficiently at least in my hands. Maybe the only choice left is to stay with the originals. But before uninstalling the current version and installing the original, I had a third question that perhaps you could address.
Perhaps you could comment on why the driver scan at http://driveragent.com
reveals my currently up-to-date version MSI 8606 (TV@nywhere master) Audio Capture and MSI 8606 Video capture drivers are out of date? Based on the listings in Device Manager, they are currently Conexant version cx88aud.sys, 2.3.79.0 and C88Vid.SYS, 4.0.102.0. Did my drivers fail to update correctly, are there drivers for this available somewhere else, not listed on the MSI website, like Intervideo, etc, or is this website wrong? I hate to pay money to find out they are simply wrong. Do you get the same results?

Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
Facts:
1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
Source files: MTS files
Recording settings (clip settings):
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 25,00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
4. Exported File:
Video
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
Frame rate: 25
Audio:
Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Frequence: 48 kHz
5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
How can I solve this problem?
Please help me soon.
Best regards.

Hi Ann,
1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
Export Settings:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: Custom
Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5
Frame Rate: 25 fps
Field Order: Upper
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic (based on source)
Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
GOP Settings
M Frames: 4
N Frames: 12
Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
Multiplexer: None
2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
Export Settings
Match Sequence Settings [selected]
1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
The results are also poor.
4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
I think I did not use it correctly.
Regards

Router Type: Symmetric - poor video quality (blocky)

Hi,
Back in October I posted a question about poor video quality...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2197561
I wanted to posted a resolution, but apparently the topic "has been archived - replies are not allowed." so I have opened this new one.
With thanks to Ralph for his always informative response and Luis Villazon from MacFormat (Q&A Issue 221) I had a better understanding of the issue, but unfortunately the suggestions failed to resolve the issue.
Then I discovered the DrayTek Vigor 120 ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem.
This is a true modem in that it does nothing else, nothing fancy, no NAT, not DHCP. Just a modem.
Connecting this to the AEBS and setting the 'Connect Using' parameter to PPoE gave control back to the Airport.
iChat now works as expected.
You might say the 'Vigor 120' is the Airport's missing modem !
Regards
Richard

Thanks for letting us know.

Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into another catalogue?

Can I move ninety video files with their keyword tags from 'My Catalogue' into a another catalogue?

Two problems :
1 - You can't merge catalogs in PSE
2 - The usual workaround is to 'write metadata to files', export the files and 'get' them into the other catalog. But you can't write metadata to files with video files.
The only thing you could do would be to duplicate the catalog and delete all pictures other than your ninety videos...

How do I make a photo book with low grade pics from iphones?

Hello,
Can Anyone give me some help I am trying to make a photo book with low grade photos from iphones.
Thank you!

What exactly is your question?
If you have low resolution photos then they will have to be printed smaller and the quality not be as good as if you had better photos - there is no way to make a poor photo better
And in general iPhone photos are not low resolution - what are the pixel dimensions of the photos? What size photos are you trying to print?

Airplay audio streaming from Iphone to ATV crashes when changing randomly title?

Oops - I messed up the title-
This is with iOS 7.0.2 and Apple TV 6.0.

What does mean the itune icon with a cable in the iphone screen?

what does mean the itune icon with a cable in the iphone screen?

I'm having exact same problem. I was installing the latest ios7 update (to fix some Facetime bug that I don't have) and this happened. I noticed in some other posts on similar problem to hold down the sleep and on buttons at the same time and tried that. No change. Then I plugged it into my laptop and it said it was in recovery mode. I'm now in the process of restoring the software.
I really hope I haven't lost all my contacts, notes, and photos.

Poor Video Quality after Streaming

Dear all,
We have been provided with a number of .mpg files from a
client and we have streamed then into Flash, using the usual
settings. When streamed however, the resulting video is of a poorer
quality than the original file.
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas - we are probably
doing something wrong, but we've tried a number of various options
when importing.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
The videos produced may be seen at:

Many thanks
Dave

Hi B,
We used - at encoding screen:
Profile - Custom
Video Codec - tried On2 and Spark
Quality - High
Frame Rate - Same as Source
Key Frame Placement - Automatic
We used similar settings for .WMV files in the past and the
video quality was fine, but with .MPG files, the resulting quality
is much less than the original.
Best wishes
Dave

Poor Video quality when importing from SONY DCR-SR100

I am brand new to Mac and iMovie and FCE. One of the reasons I switched to Mac was frustration over poor video output from Windows based video editing programs. When importing video from the SR100 into iMovie and then iDVD, the DVD quality is noticeably poorer than when the camera is connected directly to the Plasma TV. I have been reading these forums and loaded MPEG Streamclip and purchased the Quicktime MPEG2 Download, but I still can't get the video output to look as good as the camera. I obviously have some learning to do, but is there any hope of achieving equal quality output from a DVD as straight from the camera? Is there a good source of information/textbook on this topic? The biggest improvement comes from using the "de-interlace" option in MPEG Streamclip, but the overall quality of the video appears washed out and somewhat blotchy compared to the direct camera footage.

Welcome to the macworld! What imovie does incredibly well is make it easy to create fun and interesting movies. I have used both for several years and only recently with some packages such as adobe premiere elements has the windows world kept up with the mac with respect to ease of use! And even know the packages are still not as easy as imovie. Anyway, with respect to your post and getting the video quality to the best possible output quality using DV material, you are on the right path. The best workflow is to use streamclip and de-interlace prior to editing in imovie. I am not sure if you are doing that yet with your workflow. Yes, its an extra step, but it is well worth it to avoid imovie dropping a field upon export. You can play around with the adjustments to increase contrast, color and et al on the adjustment button. Another option is shooting progressive.
To set expectations, it is second generation footage the minute its imported. However, you should be still getting very good results. FCE gets footage closer to the original footage since it is a true DV editor and uses both fields, but imovie is still preferred by me because of how easy it is to skim, tag and find the material you want then easily do transitions and ken burns for photo's. Fantastic. The way i look at it....watching footage straight from the camera is the worst quality you can get -- It's like listening to your spouse talk and talk and talk and never get to the point until you forget what that point was....editing gets the footage straight to the point....thats quality!

Ipod Classic doesn't play video with Component cables

I just bought a new Ipod Classic and I have it connected to my Denon receiver using the Denon dock. I am able to play music and movies from the ipod. But when I try to play movies thru my small LG tv (Apple red, rellow white component cable) I only get audio and only if I have it in the white docking station. Do I need to buy the composite cables to get the video? I do get a message stating I need to plug into a video source.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Have tried to completely restore the iPod to factory settings and then resync the video?
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Before you do that, try converting the video once more using iTunes' built in convert. To do this, highlight the movie and chooose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When the conversion process is finished, sync the new version over to your iPod and see if that helps.

Poor video quality when exporting from Adobe Premiere

Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could help me with this problem I am having with Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have used it to edit a movie together with MOV video files from my iPhone 3GS which are of decent quality but everytime I try to export it, the video quality is degraded significantly from the original. I have tried several different export options but none seem to do the trick.
Also, exporting with DivX just gives me an audio file with no video so I have been unable to try that.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
