Burned DVD's Are Pixelated  And Not Great Quality

So I have some movies on my computer that I tried burning to a DVD disc on my Macbook Pro. On my laptop the quality is really good but when I put it on a DVD it looks kind of terrible on my TV. Now I understand it could be because the whole aspect deal so it's stretching it.
But is there any way to make the quality better? Or any tips of how to optimize the quality of the DVD I make? I'm using Toast 9 Titanium, is there a better program to use or is there a better format to make the DVD in this program? I am using the option DVD-Video in Toast compared to like Blue-ray or Video so is there a better quality to use like Divx or anything?
I appreciate the help, thank you!

If your source movies are mediocre and I bet they are because (putting on Kreskin turban now):
They are from the internet.
They are 320X240 or smaller
MPEG-1 or even FLV/Flash
They are at bitrates in the 200-400 kb/sec range.
If not where did they come from, what codecs, what size, what bitrates?

  • Exporting sequence from Final Cut Pro 7, some clips are pixellated and bad quality, does this have anything to do with the fact that I changed those clips speed?

    Hello,
    Bit of a beginner using Final Cut Pro 7
    Am currently trying to export a sequence using quicktime conversion.  Sequence has various filters and effects over it and when I export it some of the clips are pixellated and appear to have not exported correctly.  From what I can gather the affected clips have either been slowed down or made faster.  I am wondering whether this is the reason they have not exported correctly
    Any help would be appreciated
    Cheers

    More information needed.
    Codec of material?
    Sequence settings? (codec)
    fwiw - do not use quicktime conversion. Use Export Quicktime with Current Settings enabled then do any format conversions in Compressor.

  • I am using using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blurry and of poor quality.

    I am using IDVD to create slide shows.  When viewed on my computer, the pictures are clear and of high quality.  When I burn the slide show to a disk and play it back, the pictures are blury and of poor quality.  Is there a setting that controls the quality of the burn and if there is, where do I find it?  Thank you.

    The Mac software - iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are not the best with the Ken Burns effect (zoom in/out effect), so you might want to minimize that effect; also, if your subjects are wearing stripes for instance, that will have an effect if you zoom. There is better software available for slideshows; however, I do not know of any that is free (and does a good job). I've used Photo to Movie for some time; it does a fine job even in HD, but you have to pay for it. I use iDVD extensively, but only to add a menu, theme, special effects, etc. and then to burn it.

  • How do i get my contacts back? they are backed up by i cloud but when I "MERGE" only the new ones are there and not the old ones

    how do i get my contacts back? they are backed up by i cloud but when I "MERGE" only the new ones are there and not the old ones

    Hi sfuentes,
    You need to check iCloud to see if they are actually there. Go to iCloud.com and sign in and then look at your Contacts there to see if the old ones are still showing on iCloud.
    If they are not, then you can either re-enter them while you are on iCloud.com, or you can restore your device from the backup where you saved them:

  • HT5098 How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the PC Windows files to  my Apple?

    How can I read on my Apple Arabic files of Times New Roman or Arial fonts made in PC? when I get the files the Arabic letters are separate and not joined. Is there a common font in Arabic that can convert the Arabic  PC Windows files to  my Apple?
    The same with email messages ,
    And when I get Power Point files made in PC Windows, they are like PDF, not Power Point!
    Anybody with a good suggestion?

    Do not use MS Word for Mac, it does not support Arabic.  Instead use Mellel, TextEdit, Nisus Writer or OpenOffice.  Try the font Geeza Pro if others do not work.
    What are you using to read email?
    What are you using to read powerpoint?

  • Is there an automated way to scan my multimedia folder for files that are there and not in my library and add them ?

    Is there an automated way to scan my multimedia folder for files that are there and not in my i tune library and add them to y existing library ?
    I recenty had a damaged i tune library and had to import an old version.
    This last one does not have many of the CD I have copied the past months. And I don't know which ones these are either as they are too many of them.

    This will list files that are in the iTunes DB but the files are not in the media folder…

    I think it may misbehave with ringtones & some of the obscure media files, but they are both really powerful for repairing mangled libraries.
    I would create a new smart playlist for 'Tracks added since (todays date)' so you can easily find any tracks that you add back to iTunes.

  • Text edges are ridged and not smooth

    I have FCE and I used livetype to add some annimated text to my video project. But when I add the text to my FCE project on playback the text edges are ridged and not smooth. How can I correct this. F.Y.I. my video projects are in HD, not sure if that would make a difference but just wanted to provide the info.
    Here is a link to the what i mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMDLPLQdOgE
    If you watch the video in HD and about 30 secs into the clip when its just the text on the screen you can see exactly what i mean

    1. Set your LiveType project properties to match your Final Cut Sequence settings.
    In the Project Properties window you can also set the render quality. Make sure it is set to "Normal".
    2. When you add the LiveType object to your FCE timeline, it will need to be rendered. This is indicated by the colored stripe above the clip on the timeline.
    3. The Canvas always shows a low-res proxy, to better enable real time playback. Final Cut Pro will let you connect a calibrated broadcast quality monitor or at the very least, an excellent TV. This is the only way to see what you really have. I don't use FCE, so I don't know if it has this capability.

    I would re-post in the iDVD forum.  You are likely to get a faster answer there.  Good luck.

    Is this is a new iPhone that had never been synced with iTunes on any computer - the first time this iPhone was connected to iTunes on this computer which has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device?
    The first time a new iPhone is connected to iTunes on a computer that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    If you choose the former, the Camera Roll on the new iPhone is replaced with the Camera Roll contents included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device.
    Syncing with iTunes alone does not touch the iPhone's Camera Roll.

    After the first install of iOS8 my iPhone5 locked up with a picture of a cord connected to a device linking to iTunes.  After taking my iPhone5 to the Apple Store, an Expert was able to get my phone operational again.  However, when I returned home I found I no longer had options in iTunes to SYNC or BACKUP my iPhone5.  I suspect that ITunes does not recognize my IPhone any longer.  For the past 1.5 years I have no problems updating or syncing my iPhone…it was only after I upgraded to iOS8 last week.

  • How come all my eprints are pending and not printing

    All my emails i send to my printer through eprint say they are pending and not printing.  any ideas?

    On my second day of this not working. I've tried sending just text and a small JPG. I have also tried removing the allowed user list so that anyone can send an email to the printer. The print jobs slowly appear in the queue but never leave a pending status.
    This is very frustrating because I'm trying to help my 84 year old father set this up from long distance. I had this working up until yesterday. Even more madening is that there is no online resource (that I can see) that lists the exact menu options for his printer. The PDF files are very generic so it makes telling him what to push nearly impossible. 
    It would seem the issue is on the HP ePrint side. Or maybe were software updates pushed that might need to be applied to the printer?

  • 101 to be used only for unrestricted stock and not for quality stock

    Dear Experts,
    My client requires that mvt type 101 to be used for GR into ONLY unrestricted stock and not into Quality stock, if it requires we can create new mvt type as well.
    Please let me know how to achieve this.
    Regards
    Abhi

    You can set default value in MIGO for movement type and stock type..
    Go to MIGO
    The set default value for stock type as Unrestricted and movement type 101.
    Then Go to OLMB-Settings for Enjoy Transactions-Settings for Goods Movements (MIGO)-Field Selection for MIGO
    Here set the field Stock type as display..
    Then check in MIGO
    The field value will be unrestricted always and user will not able to change this..
    Test the scenario and revert back..
