Bad Quality: Shared videos

Is anyone else experiencing a very pixelated version of there videos after being sent through MMS? My sister sent me a video and the quality was beyond horrible. I sent her one of mine and when I watched the "sent version" and the quality decreased by ~30%. Sadness. (I'm hoping Palm reads these things. I'm new to this so I can only hope.)

Open one of the videos from outside iPhoto with Quicktime Player and see if it's as good as before. Since iPhoto uses Quicktime for it's rendering and playing it shouldn't be different, inside or out.
If it is different inquire in the Quicktime discussions as there will some experts there that can help you.

Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.

Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.

I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

Bad quality after sharing video

The quality of my video is very bad after sharing it (I have saved the project as MPEG2 file)
Especially the darker parts of the video are bad, in the preview screen in adobe premiere elements 7 I can see the faces of all people in these parts, while I can only see very dark faces after sharing. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Jorien

I have a DV camcorder and I used a firewire cable to get it into my computer. In the assets I read DV PAL 25.00 frames/sec , don't know what information I need to give you?
I tried to share it as MPEG2-NTSC standard, and MPEG2-PAL standard.
(I view the shared video on the same computer)
Hope you can help me (sorry, am not really into video editing yet so I don't know so much about it).
Grtz, Jorien

ACNS 5.5 / Troubleshooting bad quality VIDEO (MMS-over-http)

Hello community,
For an unexplanable reason I have to deal with an ACNS problem which is not my domain at all ! ACNS 5.5.15 is on a WAE-512-K9 working with CDM.
Please can someone advice me on how to start the basic troubleshooting steps on the following issue :
============================
- Users in Sydney are complaining of bad quality when they watch a video from an Intranet server in Frankfurt.
Video flow has bad quality (buffering ..) and/or stops before the end of the video.
- Users browsers are configured to use the WAE as local proxy on ports 3129 (.pac file). Requested Video on the intranet is in the Windows Media format and flows are MMS-over-http.
- No multicast distribution is used, neither content pre-positioning.
============================
We did a wireshark trace on the user PC watching a video which ends up unexpectidely with error code 500 => We follow the TCP stream, Time/Sequence graph is linear until ACNS sent [PSH,ACK] tcp flags to the user PC. Then PC answers with [FIN, ACK] etc...and the stream ends.
I have checked the show-tech (i have attached some commands from the sh tech) especially TCP statistics but I do not if the values are normal or not.
I am thinkink to open a TAC case but before contacting Cisco I prefer to try some basic tests if they can help.
Any recommendation on how to start a troubleshoot or any advice would be gretly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Defcom,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried changing and resetting the bandwidth limits at both ends last week at both ends but no joy!
I am going to try the solution on the Gerry's link above later but have to wait for my brother to be free as he has an airport as well(had a baby yesterday (hence why we are setting this up)).

"Shared" Video quality disappointing

When I use iM to share even full quality .DV video from my iM project I get a lower quality video! It appears to be somewhat "pixelated" especially with horizontal lines during even the slightest motion.
And when I export to .mpg or .mov formats the video is very pixelated when compared to videos of similar compression and size in the same format, what gives?
Would QTpro solve these quality problems?
TIA
-Tim
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25ghz 1gb superdrive

.dv is a format meant for being displayed on TVs:
640x480/interlaced.. a computer has a different
concept of displaying "video"/content... a much
higher res, no interlacing (and diff. colors, etc)
I actually just "shared", "QuickTime" (tab) in "full quality" from iM, then viewed in QT. No change in view size, did see significant loss of picture quality, as described.
Believe me I am NOT blaming my MAC!!
watching an iM project on a Mac fullscreen results in
a "blow up" =>loss of quality
and:
QTplayer is by default set to "best performance" not
"high quality" (in QTpro: -J,
video/quality/checkbox...)
Don't have QT-pro (had it in QT6, on a different MAC, since sold)
so, DO NOT judge pic quality on your Mac!
playout to tape/watch on telly; or use the "live
playout" feature of iM via fw connected camcorder +
TV....
Believe me I am NOT blaming my MAC!!, Just looking to make videos of comparable quality and of comparable size to .mpg I see on web. There must be a way, and my iMovie doesn't seem to do it right now.
the dv exported by iM are in highest possible
quality... don't worry
...And when I export to .mpg...
iM/QT does not support export to .mpg ... how/with
what app did you generate these files?
I "shared" to quicktime, "expert settings", movie to Divx, and mpeg-4, the ipod setting .m4v seemd pretty good, but obviously small, and larger file than comparable video (in size and length) to other .m4v for ipod I have found.
I also have used the .dv files with ffmpeg, and I still cannot match the quality of similar viseos made by others without a MUCH larger file.
Any Suggestions?

IMessage: Video Message BAD Quality?

Hey guys, I just updated my iPhone 4 with iOS 5. I've been looking forward to use iMessage because video message is my primary way of communicating with my girlfriend (no FaceTime over 3G). In iOS 4, I used a 3rd party App called Kakaotalk but it can only send 10 seconds of video message.
So I tried sending a video message through iMessage and I can send it longer than 10 seconds, which is great, but the receiver gets a bad quality of the video. If you are the sender and you play the video on iMessage, the quality is the same as the Camera app though.
Anybody have the same problem? If so, will Apple fix this?

Ever since I downloaded iOS 7 my music and video sound has been really bad quality what should i do??

I had the same problem on my iPad v2 IOS 7. But it sorted itself after a hard reset (power and home button) followed by a soft rest ( just power) . I lost all sound at this point. Then restarted again with a hard reset.
Hope that fixes your iPad v2

Premiere Pro CS6 - Video Output (GPU) bad quality...

Hi,
I have a question about Adobe Premiere Pro CS6...
I have installed the Trial-Version and use a BM Intensity Pro to output Full-HD 1080i (50, Interlace) trough HDMI Video-Output...
The Video-Output works correctly, but if I enable the "GPU"-Acceleration (CUDA), and scale or transform a Video (for example a 3D-Transformation) the Quality of the transforming is very bad! (jerky, not "smooth", Interlace-Lines etc...)
If I deactivate the GPU-Acceleration (Software only Mode), everything is smooth and looks good!
Also if I render the Timeline, all tranformations are also smooth, only the Realtime GPU Rendering looks very bad....
What can I do?

Hi :-)
I have tested it now with another Grafikcard!
And it is exactly the same problem
I have found out, that the GPU makes a delay, after a few seconds the Transformation looks smooth/bicubic!
But on relatime-Playback its bad...
My English isnt very good, so I have some problems to describe what I mean...
If you stop the playback, it takes 2 Sekonds and then the image looks good!
But dureing the playback its very bad quality, false Interlace-Lines etc...
here are two screenshots:

I get bad quality like blurry videos and photos on internet

Whenever i go on the internet and see videos or photos on any site it shows them in a bad quality and when i asked around other people they said the video looked just fine and it was only me. I dont know how to fix it. Anyone Help?

Poor quality Skype Video Calls with good connectio...

suffering with Poor quality Skype Video Calls and also voice.
My connection is 8 mb Download and .6mp upload, my wife in another country has Fiber so is alot faster again.
I am using Windows 8.1 and also a Ipad Air, same issues on both.
The Windows Pc has a nice microsoft Hd webcam (not one of the cheapones) using a i7 pc with 16g of Ram and a Gaming Graphics Card.
There is very little software on the pc, a couple of games, no itunes, Downloading software and very little running in the background. I use Window Defender and Anti virus and have recently done a re instal of windows and everything is updated driver and software wise, including skype.
The Ipad is the Apple air.
When connecting to my Wife in the Uk the reception isnt great picture wise and after a little while gets bad and also disconects alot and then comes back with a worse picture and call quality. I have even had the bad connection pop up. I have ran speed tests at these points and all are showing fine.
I also have a issue when calling my Dads land line in the uk where he has trouble hearing what im saying, muffled and echos
I am a premium paying customer and started to get a bit frustrated.

@Furgan, in which country are you located? Some countries and ISP-s are shaping Skype traffic. One known country is Saudi Arabia for example.
If would help us if you could please reproduce the issue and provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?

Bad quality preview via HDMI

Hello together!
After searching for days in the www and on this board I hope somebody here knows a solution for this problem:
Im looking for a quality solution to preview the program monitor as a full screen picture on my Panasonic HD-Ready TV. I got it running, but there is a really strange quality problem:
When I just use the TV as a second Windows display and I move the program monitor onto it (no full screen but at 100% display level) the preview looks nice but I can not see the complete picture, because 1280x720 plus the program monitor itself is too big for my screen When I change the display size of the program monitor to something lower than 100% the scaling looks very bad higher than 100% no problem with scaling.
So this is my problem:
When I switch it in the playback settings to playback on extern monitor to view it full screen there is a problem. Diagonal lines get a bad looking aliasing. My idea was that CS3 is scaling something (and this does the program not as good as I tried the preview with trailversions of Edius5 or Vegas8c). Just at 100% CS3 preview looks nice (the same when I just watch the program monitor on the Notebook display).
My Nvidia Card is set to HDMI 720p output. The TV says it is a 720p signal what is coming form my HDMI cable, and last but not least my footage is also filmed in 720p60 (Sony Ex1) and I used the 720p60 EX1 setting in CS3.
So again, when I just watch these clips for example with the Sony clip browser on my TV (also form this Notebook via the same HDMI output) the diagonal lines start not to flicker and are displayed very sharp. So it cant be the graphic card, the TV or the footage at my knowledge.
So why does CS3 scale there something in the full screen preview although from input to output everything is in 720p? Furthermore why is the scale in such a bad quality (Edius does this perfect so maybe I have just a wrong setting somewhere in my CS3 settings). Is CS3 not using the graphic card for scaling?
My system:
Asus V1S Notebook
NVidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB
Duo T7500
2GB Ram
Windows Vista
Hope somebody here is able to find a solution for this problem, because I dont want to buy an extra video board (like Axio) for it.
Best wishes,
Swen

But often with these cards, you can not work in the CS3 normal nativ settings for Ex1 footage.
At my knowldge when I would like to open a project which with a Blackmagic Card for example and I like to finish the editing on an other computer without that card you'll have a problem (because BM or other cards allway use their own presett window-right?). So you lose a lot of flexibilty by using a card or a third party codec like this. So it's not so future proof as just to work with the NLE Software itself.
I see this now with my old Premiere 6.5 Projects. I used a Canopus Raptor RT2 for this with the Canopus codec. That worked very very well, but now I can't use this project anylonger on a new editing CS3 station, because it doens't support these Canopus transitions and codecs. Also the only Windows Notebook based output solution is the MotuV4 box... not a very cost effectiv solution for a preview.
So again. There must be a sloution to get the problem with the diagonal lines fixed. Why does CS3 scale the preview when 720p footage should be displayed over a 720p output onto a 720p Monitor? No need for scaling? Or am I wrong with this?

Screen is slightly blurry / has bad quality

I bought new Samsung 24" LCD monitor S24C300 and new video card Nvidia GT 630. Monitor is connected with DVI cable.
Problem is that when I'm using native resolution 1920 x 1080, the screen is really small and I have to use the DPI setting thing to make screen bigger, but, when I apply the DPI settings, some programs come annoying blurry.
At the resolution 1280 x 720 the screen is good size, but the text has slightly bad quality and is little blurry, so what to do?
I have adjusted the monitors sharpness settings and I also have ClearType on, but that doesn't help.
Could somebody help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Please first install the latest drivers for video and moniotr.
Some times a blurry screen can be caused by a poor cable, check with anothe if possible.
You can also try other port to test this issue, like HDMI.
I'd like to share the following articles with you as a convenience to yuo.

Bad quality when play mov or mp4

I want to play mov or mp4 by quicktime. In my laptop it play well but in my another computer the quality for video is very bad!
Following is the features of that computer:
Windows XP Pro SP2
VIA C7 Processor 1500MHZ 512M RAM
Graphics card: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
I upload the screen snapshot of this problem on my blog. Please look at the following url:
http://apolloxiao.blogspot.com/2009/11/bad-quality-when-play-mov-by-quicktime.ht ml
Thank you very much!

My first thought was a video card driver because that will produce the streaks across the screen but usually more extreme.
Then it could be hardware related, do you know the history of the computer, as to any recent changes?
I don't really have a solution and don't want to string you along. But I swap around hardware, and me, I'd pull the video card out and make sure it's seated properly in the AGP or PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's not a on-board video card.
You seem to be showing a dual monitor set-up? If so wouldn't the primary be on the right?

HT1600 how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared video so i can see it on apple tv

how do i move a purchased film in itunes to shared videos so it links into apple tv

Well, it really depends on the file format your friends are using to send you the video. iTunes will only play certain formats, think of it as........having a car that only takes premium gasoline. If your friends give you a million gallons of regular gasoline, sure it's gasoline, but it won't work in your car. (That's a bad analogy but it's the best I can come up with).
So, if you open up your mail (are you using the Mail program on your computer, or going to a website such as gmail.com or yahoo.com to access your mail?), you should be able to right click the video and select to download it.
This should download it to your "downloads" folder, it should be on your dock if you didn't remove it. Click it, and select the "More in finder" button at the very top of the "stack". If not, click the "Finder" button on your dock, and on the left click the Downloads tab.
Now, you must find the video. It should have the name of the video with the extension (an example would be...... firstbirthday.mp4). The extension is the ".mp4" part. Yours may be .mov, .mp4, .mkv, .avi, the list goes on and on, but it's very important.
You can try dragging the movie into iTunes (drag it anywhere over where it says Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.) and it should hopefully turn to a little green bubble with +1. If the extension is not compatible, then, converting will be needed and that's a bit more tricky. It's also a little more tricky to get them to play on your Apple TV unless you use AirPlay.
Let us first know what extension these videos are in and we can go from there.

Bad quality colorbust

I have a IMAQ 1408 and a NTSC camera (alm-2451g wireless microcamera,
like this: http://www.prymesecurity.com/2451g.htm ) and i can't snap
Still-color images because i get this acquisition error message:
bad quality colorbust.
I know that colorbust is color synchronization signal: someone can
tell me why IMAQ 1408 can't find it?
With other acquisition cards i can capture color videos and images
easy, but with IMAQ 1408 i can just snap and grab in monochromatic
mode (selecting disabled in "still color" combo).

Hello.
With other acquisition cards i can capture color videos and images
easy, but with IMAQ 1408 i can just snap and grab in monochromatic
mode (selecting disabled in "still color" combo)
This is a little surprising, as the error message that you get is almost always related to a non-color camera being connected to a PCI-1408 (or 1409) in still-color mode. This error comes when the signal is not as expected. Based on what you have mentioned, I am guessing this is a composite color camera. There are only a few remaining things to check/change:
1. Be sure composite is selected in the still-color mode.
2. Be sure that NTSC is selected as the camera (right-click on channel and select Camera_NTSC).
3. Go to the property page for the channel and ve
rify that the reference voltages and other settings are according to the specs of the camera.
I hope this helps lead to the answer!
