Burned DVD looks like it only has one field

I have down converted 1080i HDV material to 480i using compressor. The m2v files look fine in the simulator in DVDSP (4.1.0). However when I burn a DVD and play it back, it looks like it is only showing one field. The text is jagged, and you can see the blocky horizontal lines in the video. I have tried auto fields, upper field, and bottom field. Nothing I try seems to help. Any suggestions?

Coul it be related with this thread problem?

Idvd 09 - preview looks awsome, burned dvd looks like crap on a stick!

What is going on with idvd???
1. I use a Panasonic HD digital camcorder that saves video in 1080p x 720p and looks spectacular veiwed directly from camcorder to TV.
2. I import the video files into imovie 09 and quality still looks great. (I realize my monitor won't display video at it's highest resolution.)
3. I edit the video and as the text and transitions are added the playback gets choppy and starts to freeze. -Whatever!
4. I "share" the final vid to media browser.
5. I create a DVD menu in iDVD 09 and import the video from the media/movies panel.
Preview looks great, runs fairly smooth. ok!
6. I burn to a DVD-R using the Best Performance setting.
7. I place the burned DVD into my dvd player and....
It now looks like I am projecting the video onto a brick wall with the focus out of adjustment. The video is not very smooth, with jittery motion! And the resolution mimics that of an old Sega Game Gear view screen! Text has video noise distortion all around it. Probably would look better on youtube! AND....If I select "Scene selection" option and choose a scene from the middle of the movie, it just plays from the start anyway!
So much for HD! So much for deadlines! Now I just want to know why I "upgraded" to iLife 09 and a new-found crappy quality!! "Hollywood style movies" - MY BUTT!!!!!
Please help!!!!!!

Hi Jerred,
Welcome to apple discussions. I have some bad news and some good news for you. I'll start with the bad news.
iDVD does Not support burning High Def DVD (even though iMovie will in fact edit HD). That's the bad news.
The good news is that there are third party options available to you at a relatively low cost (under $120).
See here: http://www.roxio.com/
OK. I told you the bad news and the good news right? Well here's the frosting on the cake:
You DON'T need a BD burner if you're doing this on the cheap (like most of us). A standard DVD burner such as your Mac's superdrive will do fine.
See here: http://www.macvideo.tv/dvd-authoring/features/index.cfm?articleId=112361
Btw, you do want to make certain your camcorder/ camera is listed below prior to proceeding with the above info:

Hope the above info helps but if not just come on back.

Imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one?

help! imovie media browser only has one option, "Mobile". other videos had option for medium and small. mobile option wont import into iDVD. other videos gave me the Medium option, why not this one? need answers ASAP!

That is your answer then.
Large is 960x540
Medium is 640x480 (or 720x480)
Mobile is probably 480x272.
It is offering you the sizes that make sense given the size of your source material.
As a trick, you might try this. In your project, put a short 640x480 clip in the project as the first clip of the project. Then keep the rest of the project as is. See if it will let you share now in Medium. It will not look as good, because there are not enough pixels to cover the Medium size, but it might work.

Looks like my screen has yellow tint problem.

looks like my screen has yellow tint problem, images look more yellowish. Does anyone have similar issue with their mac airs?

This isn't an actually an issue. Apple have recently changed the screens they put in all their devices. If you were to put an iPhone 4 bought on release date next to one bought a month ago you would see that the older iPhone 4 would have a "bluer" screen. This is because the old screens had unnaturally bright whites so the new screens are supposed to be closer to the real colours and give a broader range of colours.

My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket .. Help!

My TV is mounted on a wall so I can't connect the Apple TV device. Is it possible to connect to an HD Cable Box and send signal to TV that way? Other problem is that Box only has one HDMI socket so would also have to use a splitter. Tried Apple Support but couldn't offer a solution. I can't be the only person with this issue surely?
Help!

No, unless you are using a home theatre system already, your only option is to connect to the TV.

How do you connect a usb printer and usb external hard drive to the airport extreme, as it only has one usb port?

I'm thinking about upgrading my old 802.11g router for a new airport extreme. Can it connect to a usb printer and external hard drive at the same time and acutally work. It only has one usb port on the back.
thank you!

To add multiple USB printers and/or HDDs, you just first need to connect a USB hub (powered prefereably) to the AirPort's USB port, and then, add the USB devices to the hub.

Reciever only has one port

I just hooked up my Apple TV without any issues, except my home theatre reciever only has one port for HDMI and one Optical Audio port. This means in order to get Apple TV on my surround sound I have to manually switch the optical audio cable from the back of my sattelite reciever and then back again to watch satellite television. Any possible solutions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could consider an HDMI switch.

Can I put a dual processor in my power mac g5 which only has one processor right now

Can I put a g5 dual processor into my power mac g5? I have a power mac G5 but it only has one processor so I wanted to upgrade to the G5 dual processor found in the later version power macs. Would I be able to do this? If i could do this would i need another fan or other parts? I was also thinking of putting more ram in and another hard drive. PLEASE HELP

Exactly what to do with ram and video is hard to say without the model details. You can go to http://www.everymac.com and click on Power Mac G5 and then find the machine you have. The detailed info on the machine will show how much and what type of ram you can put in (I always use ram from either OWC, http://www.macsales.com or Crucial, http://www.crucial.com) and also gives the installed video card info. OWC would also be a good source to see what video cards are available that will work with that logic board.

It looks like my iphone has stopped updating, what can I do?

it looks like my iphone has stopped updating, what can I do?

If the progress bar stopped during the update process, press and hold the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.
After that start the update again.

Adobe story- Film Script only has one template. why? For e.g. the TV script has more templates.

Adobe story- Film Script only has one template. why?

Default Film script should still be the same. So first verify this by creating a new Film script with the default Film script template. (it should be in default formatting)
Now to change the template of the affected document, open Edit > Template option.
In the 'Select Template' dropdown, select 'Film Template' and click on OK.
If you still face this issue, you can 'Import' a template from your disk.
- download the default template that is attached in this post. ( Template file is inside the '.zip' attachment. So you need to unzip the downloaded file first)
- open the template dialog and click on Import button and select the downloaded file.

Stupid question--what do install DVDs look like?

Hey, everything got mixed up in the Christmas rush, including the disks for my 2.0 dual-core. I know I have them, as I ran Hardware Test after purchasing some RAM.
Can anyone tell me what they (and their packaging) look like? I can't find them anywhere. I do have the books (black folio). Just can't remember the DVDs.
And is it normal that I can't run fsck on this Mac?
D'oh! and thanks.
PowerMac G5/2.0 dual-core, 4.5gb RAM Mac OS X (10.4.3)

They are in a white paper sleeve with a plastic
window in it. The DVDs are grey in color. fsck should
work.
OK, now I remember. The two-sided thingy. White paper sleeve... not gonna stand out. But at least I know what I'm looking for now.
As for fsck, I get the prompt by the second restart (first one only gets partway through the text) but can't type. Or keys repeat and can't be stopped. Repeat is on Macally keyboard only, can't type is on both original and Macally. When I get ambitious, I'll pull the RAM and try again.
My original problem was just Photoshop being picky about fonts, and I fixed that.
Back to the DVD search. Thanks!

Hello, i am interested in buying a 2010 Closeout imac 21.5 One model Is Z0JM5LL/a which has a intel i5 processor and the other is MC509LL/A which has a Intel i3 processor i figured the i5 would be better but specs say the i5 only has one processor

Hi i am interesed in buying out a closeout model of a Imac 21.5 imac The 2 models are Z0JM5LL/A which has a Intel i5 processor and the other is MC509LL/A which has a Intel i3 processor I figured the i5 would be better has better specs but it says the i3 has a dual core Meaning 2 processors and the i5 only has a single Processor meaning i would think then teh i3 is better or is it false specs about the i5 do they both have dual Core Or which one is better Remember these are 2010 Models Not the New Quadcore Which Processor i am looking at is better????

Both the I3 and I5 are dual core processors. The I3 should be the 3.2Ghz model, which has an upgraded video circuit over the base model, which is good. The 21.5" I5 would have the same video circuit. It also has turbo boost, that the I3 doesn't have, which can boost it's speed from 3.6Ghz to 3.86Ghz when needed.
If you need to compare the 2010 and 2011 models (or even 2010 only comparisons), here's some benchmarking: http://www.barefeats.com/imac11b.html , http://www.macworld.com/article/159631/2011/05/201127inimac31ghz.html , http://www.macworld.com/article/159765/2011/05/imac2011.html

Sequence only has one channel of sound

I have a few sequences that I have added to a master sequence and only have one channel of sound in the master sequence.
In the actual sequence of each sequence that was added I have 2 channels of sound.
What would correct this issue?
Or does cut and paste everything in each sequence into my master sequence work better?

re: the decklink comment - that was directed to the thread jacker ... lol.
re: cloned system drives. Updating does not create a clone automatically. It is something you have to do. In the interest of locking the barn door after the paddle has been lost upstream - get a firewire drive as large as your system drive. Download a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner (shareware) and when your system gets working again, Clone the working drive to the firewire drive. This is your insurance when you update the OS, QT and/or any of the FCS pro apps.
Once you have a clone, if your update goes wrong, you can copy the clone back over the bunged installation and be back up and running within an hour or so.
Regarding FCP 6.0.4, perhaps someone archived a version (or you can find it on the FCP updates page). If you use Software update, it will want to install the most recent version.

Isn't Adobe Color available for use with desktop applications?? It looks like Adobe Kuler has NOT been replaced with Adobe Color - It has been Deleted!

It looks like the new Adobe Color is for iPad / iPhone only. Why isn't it available for desktop use like Kuler?
Kuler server seems to have been turned off. Why? Kuler and colour themes were very useful.

Adobe Color CC
