Bad Video Quality - Help This Rookie
Hi - Thanks in advance for your help. I have some good MPEG4 video quality and when I watch it directly (through Quicktime) it looks great. My problem is that when I import it in to iMovie, it takes a serious video quality hit and looks terrible. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way to import it so that I dont lose the video quality?
Howie,
I've been importing video into iMovie from old VHS tapes and DV. Sometimes it seems as though iMovie's quality is lower than what's on tape. Its possible that the preview/edit is lower quality for performance reasons?
Try rendering a 5 minute clip to your final output and check the resulting quality.

even is catalyst cs 5.5 two of my problems do not resolve.
bad video quality in fullscreen. i have some videos for offline view (768x576 @ 2600 kbps) but still fullscreen view is messed up, all blocky, not proper video interpolation. in vlc or any other player the flv file looks fine!
the videos also have a 4:3 ratio and show white borders in fullscreen on a 16:9 screen in letterbox, how can make the borders black?
is there any solution?Hi
as example
Creating a PAL movie in iMovie HD 6 then import this into a NTSC iDVD project
• Works but with a losy quality
I do use JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 and let this do the PAL to NTSC conversion
Now burned as an NTSC iDVD project
• Best result possibly without buying PRO-applications for $$$$$$$
This way should work the other way around too.
Most modern PAL DVD-players can playback NTSC (if TV is old in Bl/W)
Most modern NTSC DVD-players can't playback PAL
If playbacked on a Mac PAL or NTSC is of no interest.

Bad video quality of final product when viewing on computer in full screen
It looks like a picture does when you blow it up and it's a low quality image. Everything I'm reading says the problem would be with the video capture...but I have the same bad quality when I'm viewing the menu! Around all the text on the menu, it's fuzzy and same with my video on the menu. So are my video clips in the movie itself.
I have tried playing it on Windows Media Player, the apple DVD program, and WinDVD and I get the same problem when I view it on full screen.
I assume my family will mostly be playing it on a TV. Do you think it will play properly or worse on a TV? I don't actually have a DVD player myself to test it out. Any suggestions on why this could be happening?
Thanks!when I started using iDVD, one of the hardest adjustments for me to make was video quality on TV screen vs on computer screen. (I am used to satellite to S-Video TV and HD screens on my computer.)
My camera it a miniDV, and playback via SVideo to an Svideo TV screen is awesome.
I was sorely disappointed when I played the same tape back on the computer. It was grainy/fuzzy, etc. Same with the DVD I made.
But when I played the DVD back on the TV, the image quality was the same as when I connected the camera to the TV - crisp, sharp, video and text.
I've since burned numerous DVDs, and the result is always the same - blah on the computer, sharp on the TV.
As someone else in this thread stated, the average TV is low-res compared to the computer screen.
If I recall the spec correctly, standard NTSC is 240 line, SVideo is up to 500 line. HD is 720 line and higher...ergo an NTSC source is roughly 1/2 the resolution of the typical CPU screen, or 1/3 the resolution of low end HD screens. So yes, NTSC output on your computer screen will always be fuzzy compared to your TV screen.
I think you will likely be very pleased with the DVD when you playback on your TV. -
Bad video quality on Atom over Internet, but not o...
I have an Asus netbook with a 1.66GHz Atom, 1GB DDR3, and XP. The video quality when in a call over the Internet is almost always bad, and Skype complains the computer is "slow". There is no virus scanner or any other garbage running that sucks up resources. I keep it lean.
So I tried using a different computer to make the call; an 8 year old Sempron laptop, also with XP and 2.2GHz or close to that. Video quality is great. So it's obviously a computer performance issue, right?
It gets stranger. I set up a video call between these two computers over my LAN (i.e. within the same house). Video quality is great on both.
The results have been similar over a span of a year or more, calling people in different parts of the country, and even dropping Wifi and using a cable.
So what causes Skype to think the computer is slow when video calling over the Internet, but not when calling another computer on the same LAN? I have a theory, but I'll hold that thought for right now.I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality. Now if I can just get it all working again following the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.1.
FYI: I have even used iChat AV on Tiger using DUN on my Treo650 (Sprint), which worked fine as well. -
Im having trouble with video quality when editing in final cut
I import my clips (1280x720 from my nikon d300s) and click on them to bring into my viewer. The percentage in the viewer is being viewed at 65%.
when i drag and drop the clip into my timeline, render, and view in my canvas, the Quality is greatly decreased without me doing anything. The %in the canvas is 131% when set to fit to window.
Am i doing something wrong? are my settings wrong somewhere? this is killing the quality of my footage. just wondering what can be done to fix this
Thanks for any help given
Nick2 problems here.
If your Canvas window is set to anything over 100%, yes it will look nasty. Pop that sucker back to 100%, okay?
BUT, your camera shoots in a format that is acquisition/delivery only. You need to convert it to an editable codec, namely ProRes, before editing.
You can do this with Compressor, which you own, or MPEG Streamclip, which you can download for free. -
I purchased a movie and it downloaded to my computer but it is not on my Ipod touch. It will not sync manually, I've tried. It shows up on my ipod as purchased but it is not in my videos. When I go to the movie from purchases it says DOW in the corner.HELP THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY
Hello,
If you have an iPod Touch you can watch movies on it.
Did you sync the movie with iTunes between your computer and your iPod ?
Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable.
Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content.
Your computer must be connected to the Internet.
By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can’t sync your content. You’ll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync. -
Bad video quality with AMS and Citrix
Some clients connects to our network with vpn Citrix and get the screen presentet from Citrix.
The video quality is bad, choppy and sound out of sync.
Is it possible to set a specific quality for clients connecting with Citrix in AMS?
Do you have a best practice when using Citrix.

It is very bad situation. Toshiba with every notebook must offer functioning product and because of that offer tested drivers. Those drivers are adapted for each notebook model and also have protecting function. That means the graphic card will not be forced to run on the highest level.
As you can see with original driver you have problems playing some games. For me it is nothing unusual for mobile computers. Problem is that every modified driver is not supported and tested by notebook manufacturer. I recommend you to use tested Toshiba driver. At the end maybe you must make compromise between gaming and watching movies.
By the way: are original DVD movies also so bad while you use preinstalled WinDVD? -
iChat seems to be trying to out-think me by lowering iChat video quality when it's on WiFi, but using great video when I'm on ethernet. This seems silly, since I have great WiFi connectivity, but I can't seem to disable the behavior. Does anyone know how to disable iChat's WiFi preferences?
More details:
I'm on an 802.11g WiFi network through an AEBS with "full bars" and the quality looks terrible over Bonjour to someone else on the LAN (wired or wireless). As soon as I disable AirPort and plug in to wired Ethernet, making no other changes other than restarting iChat, the quality looks fantastic.
My WiFi speed is always in the tens of megabits per second, with ping latencies below 1ms to the other clients, so it should be plenty fast.
Ideas?I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality.

Hello,
All my podcasts have very bad quality video in iTunes. However, I use good MP4 files. Why ? Does iTunes re-encode the files ?
ThanksHello CONFLICCT1234 and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Sorry to hear you're experiencing an issue with YouTube videos on your device.
What is your software version? Are you using Wi-Fi or the mobile network to view the videos?
Have you done a reboot by pulling the battery?
Do you encounter any error with YouTube or just the resolution seems off?

Premiere Pro CS3: bad video quality when exporting for YouTube
Hi!
I'm a newbie to this forum and yes, I've looked for an answer before posting. I'm also pretty new to Premiere Pro and I hope that the problem I'm having is more my fault than Premiere's (it most likely is.)
I have project, a little YouTube-Video. But whenever I export it, the quality is really poor. I've also tried rendering it with Windows Movie maker and, strangely enough, the quality is much better and closer to the original file. My big question is: what am I doing wrong?
Here are some additional info:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
Windows 7 Professional, 32 Bit (PC)
The movie file was shot with a Sony DSC-W170 and is an .mpg file
Video:
640x480
10418kBit/s (total: 10483 kBit/s)
30fps
Audio:
64kBit/s
Mono
32kHZ
Project settings: DV-Pal
Standard-PAL-Video (4:3 Interlaced).
48 kHz (16 Bit) Audio
I used the Adobe Media Encoder for the export, H.264/YouTube. I've also tried several other settings, but I never get as good a result as with the Windows Movie maker. Can anyone please tell me how I can fix this? (Maybe the quality of the video already suffers when I import the files into Premiere Pro? The video in the source and the cutting window is very blurry.)
Here you can see for yourself what it looks like:
File rendered with Adobe Premiere CS3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTAyx6O27Dg
File rendered with Windows Movie Maker: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVeoUOfM_uo&feature=youtu.be
I hope somebody can help me. If you need additional info which I haven't provided, ask away. Thank you so much in advance for your replies!YT is set to privet.
Keep project settings and export settings same as camera.
Try H.264 (mp4) for export instead. -
Squirrelmail - wrong address - help this rookie :-)
I am new at this. Have used EIMS for years, now moving to an Xserve with squirrel mail. Thought I had it set up correctly, but...
Our present email is [email protected], we have a temporary email set up by our provider, called [email protected] This is just to practice with, make it work for webmail etc. (Webmail is our main objective). I thought I set it up right, we can go online and use squirrelmail, works fine. The only problem is that when I set up a new user, and they send an email their address is [email protected] not [email protected]
I have looked over the server admin as far as my rookie eyes take me, but can't seem to figure what I have done incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated. Unfortunately I go into a cold sweat when you mention the terminal, would be great if I could solve this with the GUI interface...
Thanks so much.<?php

Bad video quality from iPhone videos on PC?
Hello all,
I have been experiencing a fairly annoying problem. I have a small library of videos taken on my iPhone 4S (iOS 5) which have been transferred to my PC (Windows 7). I realize that these are .MOV files and Windows Media Player will not play them, but even the most up-to-date version of quicktime plays these videos very choppy. What gives? Is there another media player I can use to view these, or do I have to convert all of them?After some googling Ive read that this is an issue others are having since they upgraded to IOS6, apparently videos played fine in 5.
Is there a way to undo the IOS6 update and restore the phone back to IOS5? -
Bad video quality via Quick Player and Apple TV
I have been watching videos via Quick Player from my MacBookPro and Apple TV for some time in excellent quality. Suddenly now the picture quality has dropped significantly
Quality is still good if I watch via I tunes, but Itunes does not import .avi videos
How can I fix it?there are many third party apps that will do it.
also, if you are able to get the video into itunes as it currently is, then you can right click on it and choose "create appletv version". -
Bad video quality on primary screen in SLI set-up
Hey all,
I've got this specific problem with my video cards. The color is absolutely horrible when i use my two 460GTX Hawk in SLI mode on a dual screen setup.
The strange thing is that this problem only is visible on the primary screen.
Example primary screen :
Example secondary screen :
I've tried a lot of different things :
* Switch monitors => problem persisted with primary
* Switch primary to secondary => problem persisted with primary monitor
* Different monitor settings (color depth, resolution, frequency, ...) => problem persisted
* Turn SLI off => problem solved
* Turn Dual monitor off => problem solved (also in SLI mode)
It seems that when I want to have SLI and dual monitor this problem occurs.
Some system specs :
OS : Win 7 Home premium 64 bit SP1
Nvidia driver : 301.42
Vid card bios : 70.04.2E.00.04
Motherboard : MSI P55A-GD65
Motherboard bios : 1.6
Not sure what additional information you require...
All tips are welcome ...
Thanks in advanceTry MSI vga drivers for your card
