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my currently up-to-date version MSI 8606 (TV@nywhere master) Audio Capture and MSI 8606 Video capture drivers are out of date?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?

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.

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

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.

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.

Update to 10.10.2 poor video quality

After I updated to Yosemite 10.10.2 video quality became very poor, especially when using the DVD Player App. This is on an 2012 quad core I7 server model connected to a Panasonic TV via HDMI. When I reboot using 10.10.1 which is on another partition of Drive 2, unupdated, the video is perfect. I tried to use calibration in system setting/display/color with very little success. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

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!

Others having poor YouTube quality with Firefox?

This is bizzare - half the time my Firefox views of my videos are ok the other half are atrocious.
I have sniffed around and find the auto select of video quality varies: the ok view is the 360, but half the time Firefox selects the 240 version (unbelievably poor) ..!
The Safari browser always picks the 360 when on automatic, so that's fine.
So, I'm wondering:
(1) Is anyone else having problems?
(2) Since I uploaded to YouTube using imovie share, is it possible Safari picks the right viewing definition and Firefox not?
(3) If that is the case, and others are also having viewing troubles, perhaps uploading via imovie/Safari is not a good idea for anyone.
Cheers, Peter

Thanks for your reply Adam, but I don't understand a thing of what you said.
In the past YouTube has always played the video at the correct resolution, but now it selects the wrong one almost exactly half the time. And with Safari too, I have sometimes found, though not as often as Firefox.
You spoke about deleting temp video files, what is that? This video has been up for nearly 2 years and it is only now that it is misbehaving.

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

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

MacMini - LG 32" (32LB75) Problem - Poor video quality and now no picture.

Hi there, apologies for the length of this post....
I purchased a mac mini 1.8Ghz with 2Gb RAM yesterday with a wireless keyboard and mouse and hooked it up to my 32" LG 32LB75 using VGA. On startup the display looked ok, I managed to click through the various Leopard initialisations. I bought the machine for use as a front room media player for mainly DivX movies and the occasional bit of music.
Once I had installed the DivX codec I opened a DivX file in Quicktime and selected "full screen mode." As soon as the movie started I became quite disappointed. The picture quality was quite pixelated ("noisy") and certainly not as good as when I play the same movie file from my old dell PC on the same LG tv (the dell PC has a 64Mb PCI radeon 7000 which connects to the tv using the same VGA port as the mac).
Anyway just to give the mac a fair go I thought I would try out some genuine quicktime video samples from the itunes store (this time viewed from front row)....again not brilliant.
So I thought I would investigate the screen resolution to see if I could improve things. It appeared the resolution was set to 1900 by 1200ish I say "ish" because I can't remember exactly. I then attempted to reduce the resolution and eventually I settled on one that looked quite clear with the font size big enough to be easily read. Again I tried the movie and there wasn't much (if any improvement). Whilst changing resolutions the screen would go blank for a few seconds but on one particular setting (can't remember exact numbers) the display went blank and never came back. The tv now just displays "no signal".
I despaired and connected the mac to a 17" Iiyama montior that I use with a PC and it worked ok. However each time I tried to "hot swap" back to the television I would end up with no picture.
I'm really disappointed because everything else about the mac I really like. Particularly the remote for frontrow which is precisely what I wanted it for. The problem is I've spent over £500 and now seem to have a lesser quality picture than I had to begin with (ignoring for the moment that I don't have any picture!!)
Anyway my questions are these, answers to any or all most appreciated.
1) what is the easiest way to get my mini to start displaying on my tv again?
2) what would the optimum resolution be? My television mentions 1366 x 768 in the manual
3) If the mini doesn't offer this resolution in the pick list is it advisable to "force it" using some alternative software (ie 3dexpress.de)?
4) Is the video quality affected by the software player? ie would VLC give better picture with DivX over quicktime/itunes/front row?
5) How likely is it that the video resolution of my new mac mini isn't "as good" as my old dell machine with its PCI graphics card?
6) Finally if I don't get results as good as my existing PC setup, how accomodating are apple with refunds? I bought it from a UK high-street apple store. The back of the receipt mentions a "14 day not satisfied" return policy but then goes on to say something about being "unopened"...which seems a little confusing. Ie how do you know if you're satisfied until you've actually used it?

Hi there
the solution was to remove the various display config files in leopard and then restart the machine, this got my display back on the tv (albeit off centre). To fix the "off centre issue" I used the LG "auto correct" feature from the remote control "menu > screen" options.
The apple support site describes how to remove the affected leopard display files here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2213?viewlocale=en_US As you will see their resolution consists of 2 main steps, the first one involves starting your machine in safe mode, if this doesn't work then you proceed to the second step where you remove the files using a terminal prompt.
I didn't bother with the first step mainly because I don't think I can start my mac in safe mode since my only keyboard is wireless (bluetooth). So I connected the mac mini to a 17" LCD monitor (which thankfully did display the video signal ok) and removed all the listed files using terminal. I then shut the mac down, swapped the VGA cable back to the LCD tv restarted the mac and it detected the tv and set a resolution that worked. I then very carefully reduced the resolution down to one that was recommended by my tv (1300ish.. x 768ish??).
At this point I was back to having an acceptable signal but still a little off centre. So I used the TV remote, pressed menu, went into screen options and chose "auto correct". Picture then filled the screen perfectly.
The problem seems to be, leopard lists a bunch of resolutions that it believes your tv/display can handle but it would appear that in fact some of these resolutions are not supported by your TV and if you choose one of these your signal disappears and you can't get it back.
I would still say that I'm not 100% convinced with the mac mini's onboard graphics (I have a 1.8GHz version). I'm going to download some HD content and see if that improves things, but certainly my existing DivX collection looked a little sharper and clearer and better coloured using my old dell PC with its radeon PCI card. But the difference in picture quality is outweighed by the convenience of its size and the font row interface. I might tinker with putting Windows Media Center on it one day, perhaps that might improve things.

Poor video quality, pixelation, flickering on moving subjects in frame

I made a quicktime movie using File>Export>Quicktime Conversion... in FCP using H.264 compression codec with best video quality and 16-bit audio. video was originally captured in miniDV. Self contianed movie was made and looked pretty good in Quicktime, though the edges of moving subjects in frame did have small wavy lines (I assume from interpolation of DV?). Anyway it was acceptable to me (but if there is a fix please advise as I figured this was endemic to miniDV itself.)
Then I created a DVD in iDVD 6.0.3 with several slide shows and two relatively short movies (12-14 minutes in length each). The edges of moving subjects in frame (i.e. persons walking into the frame) now have large square pixelations sort of like this --->( |-|_|-|). At anyrate, the fine wavy lines from the QT movie have become much worse when there is movement, and I'm not talking speed, just any movement like a hand moving in the frame, etc. Otherwise the quality of the video is comparible to the exported movie from FCP.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to eliminate this problem?
thanks!

That's normal interlacing. You usually want to preserve those comb lines if your target is TV display which will hide them and use them to make smoother motion.
http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/SVCDon_aMacintosh.html#interlacing
But if your target is a computer display, then you usually want to deinterlace them off because they look ugly on a PC monitor.
originally captured in miniDV ... H.264 ... Then I created a DVD in iDVD 6.0.3
No! You should not convert the original DV to H.264 if your final target is a video-DVD!
Just keep it as DV. And take care that your FCP export to DV is bottom field first field dominance because otherwise you get terrible zigzag movement artifacts! ...I don't have FCP so I can't give you more advice on that (mini-DV ->iMovie ->iDVD handle all this automatically).

Poor image quality with save for web

It doesn't matter whether i'm exporting from Ai or Ps or whether it's CS6 or CC. I have changed the raster settings in Ai and i've also tried all optimization options with all different export file types (jpg, png, gif) at all different quality settings. It doesn't matter if I start with an ai, eps, pdf, png... the export result is always poor quality.
I have tried exporting at 300ppi and that does fix the quality issue and bloats the file size, but this way (the export route) is so time consuming since you have to resize your artwork each time as well as the artboard so that it doesn't cut off pixels. Save for web never used to have these quality issues and it also never used to cut off pixels around the edges. These workarounds prove very time consuming and produce file sizes that are not ideal.
When i first noticed this issue I was using Mavericks with CS6 and since am using Yosemite and Creative Cloud.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create any bitmap or vector graphic in Ai or Ps, It doesn't matter whether you convert text to outlines or not
2. Save for web
3. View image in any application or browser to see poor quality and pixel trimming. Others running the same version and system are not having this issue, but I have checked many forums and found many others that do have this same issue but can't seem to find a solution.
Results:stair stepping, degradation, pixel trimming, general poor image quality
Expected results: Previously the save for web feature allowed for a decent quality image

I thought of that too so I tested on another machine with retina display and the file i saved on my machine looked bad on my machine and on the other comparable machine/display. So I sent them the original vector ai file and watched while they saved it the exact same way on their machine and the file looked fine on both of our machines/displays.
All of the settings they used appeared the same as what I used but with different results. I don't recall changing anything but does anyone know if there is some setting that could have been changed that is causing this issue?

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.
