Bit of a strange one.... HD Movies "Judder" when streaming to ATV2

Bit of a strange one.... all my HD Movies since the latest ATV2 update "Judder" when streaming.
It's very hard to describe but whenever there is a fast Zoom or Pan shot the image flickers for around half a second. It seems to happen every 20 seconds or so, this has only been the case since the latest update of ATV2.
I purchased Tron Legacy (HD) from the iTunes store and it occurs when playing that movie. It also happens on all my self generated HD contect.
Strangely it does not occur when streaming to my 1st Gen Apple TV, which makes me think it has nothing to do with my Home Network setup, as they are both connected via Ethernet cables.
There is only a problem with HD Streaming and ATV2.
Any assistance would be appriciated

The last update seems to have introduced a feature which lets the Apple TV detect the native frequency of your TV, in the UK this is probably but not always 50 Hz, this is beneficial for Home video and broadcast content in these locations where the frame rate is 25 fps. It isn't ideal for 30 fps or 24 fps content though which most of the iTMS movies and TV shows are.
Also of relevance is that some TV's make a better job of telecine/detelecine than others due to the quality of their components.
Although I don't necessarily think that Apple are responsible for the ability of 3rd party TV's, the problem could be easily overcome by allowing the user to manually select the Apple TV output as was the case with the Apple TV 1. This would allow the user to switch to 60 Hz for 30/24 fps content and 50 Hz for 25 fps content.
Some TV's have motion settings which worsen/improve the situation depending on their settings.

  • Bit of a strange one this. Any help appreciated.

    I have been stuck on a PPC g5 2gb dual tower for the last 8 years. 12 months ago the internal power died and I paid to have it repaired. A couple of weeks this happened again. It's not really economical for me to repair it and I really need to be getting up to speed before I fall further behind the Mac community. With this in mind I took the plunge and bought a new MacBook pro this week. I am excited about the possibility of this machine but my issue is this. I presume it will come with lion or mountain lion installed.
    My G5 tower had two internal drives one with leopard and one tiger. A newish western digital caviar black 1.5 tb disc which was partitioned into a 1tb and a 500 mg drive. Both these were to host the OS 10.5.8 my files iTunes iPhoto mail docs and other bits. The other internal drive was a bootable 10.4.7? Disc running audio apps cubase etc
    I presume the internal discs are still intact and readable although the Mac is dead. How will I migrate the data to the new MacBook pro. Is it advisable to buy an external usb3 enclosure and get the data somehow that way. Then I can use these drives as backups for the new Mac.
    I know most poc programs I had will need to be replaced. However will I be able to get my iPhoto and iTunes library back from the redundant drives and what about my mail?  Is there anything else I need to be aware of and will it be a complete nightmare or would this process be straight forward. I know I am moving three operating systems ahead so I can only imaging I may have some difficulty. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Most likely. However, do note that it might in all likely hood boot with Snow Leopard, since the firmware has changed. At least that's the consensus amongst those buying up iMacs, MacPros, and MBPs. Apparently, won't work with the ones shipping with retina displays. That said, it might behoove you to spend $20 USD and get a Snow Leopard install disc. Borrow another machine, install it onto an external HD, update it to 10.6.8 and other OS X apps, and try booting the new MBP with it.

    Either that or a combined FW800/USB 3.0 enclosure. Then, consider updating the Leopard volume to Snow Leopard. Or getting an additional ext HD with FW800/USB 3.0 ports, cloning the Leopard one, and then upgrading one or the other to SL->10.6.8. Then, hook it up to the new MBP, follow the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide. Once that's finished, try booting with the SL ext HD. If that works, then you'll be able to use all legacy PPC apps except the classic ones.
    If successful, whether or not you wipe Lion/ML from the MBP, clone the SL volume to it, or clone the Lion/ML volume to the ext HD (another partition) so you can play with it, is up to you.
    Bottom line is you can probably do most of your current Leopard work with the MBP running SL. If so, then you can take your time examining whether or not to move forward to the iOSified OSs, Lion and ML. I compute with SL and play with the others, but, since I have no iOS or wireless devices, they don't offer much for computing and minor security improvements.

  • How do I put short Iphone movie clips into one long movie?

    What's the best method to take short little movie clips from my Iphone and splice them together into one long movie without using video quality? 
    I have Imovie so if I use it, will I lose video quality?  I've been told that Imovie 08' only imports every other line of resolution when I capture Digital Video.  Does it do the same for Iphone videos?
    I tried to use Final Cut Express already but when I exported the video and then viewed it in Itunes it looked quite a bit worse than the originals.
    Thanks for any help.
    Ehren

    I have had some luck doing the following: Export each clip from imovie as a quicktime clip. Open iDVD and create a new project. Import a few stills into iDVD and then click on the button that gets created to get into the screen where the individual slides appear. Drag each quicktime into that screen and arrange in the order you want. You can then delete the stills. The button that appeared when you dropped in the stills will launch a complete show.

  • Using snow leopard and can't get it to stay in 32 bit mode so I can watch movies on Netflix

    Anyone know how to get Snow Leopard to stay in 32 bit mode so I can watch movies on Netflix?  I tried holding down the 3 and 2 on startup and it doesn't work.

    Hello mlbeverly
    Try setting the kernel in terminal by following the steps below if you want it to start in 32-bit mode.

  • Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - not working for one user - working for another

    Hi,
    I recently have an issue with Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - NOT working for one user - working for another.
    Windows 7 updates recently installed ???
    By checking the device properties on the user that works - "Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad 13/10/2011 Version 15.3.29.0"
    When the other user logs on, the touchpad works for a few seconds, then a displays a black square with a red diagonal line through it, then the touchpad won't respond. Trying to use the keypad to navigate to system diagnosics or anything to find further info is useless....

    Hey eagle_no11,
    Thank you for joining the HP Support Community!
    I will do my best in assisting to hopefully get the TouchPad to work on the second user profile.
    What I would like to start off with, is to restore the original Synaptics drivers onto the profile that is not working correctly. I have included the document Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
    Once you have installed the original drivers, you will need to complete all updates from both HP, as well as Windows. For these updates, if you open the HP Support Assistant, and select Maintain, you should see an option for updating.
    Please let me know how these steps do work out for you.
    Have a great day!

  • Why no more clips and just one big .mov file?

    I had been working in iMovie and iDVD 4 for some time up until present when I upgraded to iLife 6. One of the things I like about ver. 4 was that the whole movie was saved as a file but there were also the individual clips saved as well. I could use these clips when creating my iDVD project. Now I see that those clips are gone and there's just one big .mov file to drop into my iDVD themes. Why did they do this??? Is there some benefit to this that I'm not understanding? Maybe I don't have something set correctly in the prefs.? Is there anyway around this so that I have control over what part of a movie gets dropped into my iDVD themes?
    -Daryl

    Thank you so much, Matt. That did the trick. I would've never thought of that. I was beginning to figure that the clips just had to be somewhere else that wasn't obvious to me. I couldn't believe that they would do away with that. Thanks again!

  • Can one watch movies in english on an austrian apple tv device

    can one watch movies in english on an austrian apple tv device

    It's all dependent on what's avilable in the iTunes store for your location.

  • How can I combine three completed projects with text & sound to make one single movie?

    How can I combine three completed imovie 09 projects (They all have text & sound) to make one single movie? Thank you for any help you can give.

    If they are three separate projects than you will have to export all three as video files. Then you can reimport them into a new event, join them together as if they are ordinary clips, and export that.

    Thanks for your response. Is there no other way to get the swf file to work properly from After Effects?
    What is the best way to go about using the MP4, F4V or FLV formats to save as a swf in Flash?
    Can you advise how I can save it to MP4, F4V or FLV from After Effects Creative Cloud? they don't seem to be visible (I also have creative cloud)

  • Can you string more than one captivate move into one movie

    I want to know if I have 3 captivate movies, can I make one new movie that attaches each of the other moives into it (like having a parent movie with child movies)?
    thanks
    Deb

    Hello,
    I do not CP3 installed anymore, so hope my answer will work. There is no real 'parent-child' functionality built in CP, but you can create the 'parent' movie, put buttons or click boxes in it that link to the other 'child' movies.

  • HT1436 My Power Mac G5 will not fully boot without safe mode, it only comes to a blue screen where my cursor duplicates in to 2, (one is frozen, one can move by moving the mouse). What is my problem, and how do I fix it?

    My Power Mac G5 will not fully boot without safe mode, it only comes to a blue screen where my cursor duplicates in to 2, (one is frozen, one can move by moving the mouse). What is my problem, and how do I fix it?

    Great clue Lukas...
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Is there a way to set extension specific download folders in safari? aka .docs to one folder, .mov to another, etc

    Is there a way to set extension specific download folders in safari? aka .docs to one folder, .mov to another, etc
    I'm trying to use safari to organize my downloads so i have less clutter and know where things are

    Nothing "built in" senses file type and sorts by it that  know of, and I've not heard of any third-party options.
    You can have pretty good control by slight mods to how you download:
    1--Set up a dedicated Downloads folder in Documents if you don't have one. Point all you browsers to that folder for catching downloads.
    from here you have two options:
    2A--always display that folder sorted by "Kind." That put files of similar types together
    2B--within the Downloads folder, create subfolders for different file types. If you do this, instead of clicking files for downloading, right-click them. One of the contextual menu options the right-click will reveal is "Download Linked Files as...." and will force a dialog box from which you can select the subfolder that will hold that file type.
