Camileo H10 - bad quality of HD videos

I have been unfortunate enough to be duped by the claim that this camera is 720p HD. Ok I understand it is a cheap camera but it is supposed to be a cheap HD camera. Having set it up to take 720p HD i have never seen such guff!
Picture quality is worse than a standard DV camera, even going through my Toshiba HD TV with HDMI. White balance is abysmal and to be honest I feel that Toshiba are in the process of ripping people off with this toy camera. Why say its HD when the picture quality is so poor. The question I have for Toshiba is how do I get my money back?
It looks as though I am not the only person to have been duped in this way! Hey Toshiba, if you're looking for a way to stop people trusting you and buying products on the usual high quality basis, just release a terrible "High Definition" camcorder. That should do it!! I've been ripped off. Look forward to hearing a reply.

I have a favourite saying, working as an IT manager and constantly having to configure various technologies, and I'm sure most people here will be familiar with it. RTFM - Read The F**king Manual. It's amazing because it tells you how to use and configure the equipment you're using! So thanks for the tip about making sure I have set the cam up correctly but alas it's of no use to me!
I have to ask, are the top guys on here employees of Toshiba? Seem to get very touchy if anything is said against the company! My main aim of posting on here was to warn other people who have bought Toshiba equipment in the past (of which I am one) and been extremely happy with it in all aspects, that this cam is a sham!! Ta Dah! Do not spend your money on this and save for a bit longer to purchase something that actually does the job of HD recording.

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

Bad quality audio and video with Skype

Hi,
while making a Skype video call via WiFi using my Z1 Compact my conversion partner complained about the bad audio (very low) and video (poor resolution) quality. I than changed to IPhone 4s from my wife and my conversion partner said the quality was much better.
As I was using the same network the problem cannot lay on the connection.
Is there a known sw bug using Skype on the Z1 Compact?
My skype version: 4.9.0.45564.

If you only have these issues regarding video and audio quality when using Skype then you would be best to speak with the developer of that application as they would keep their own records of such issues.

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?

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.
Karim

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)).

Why is the quality of my video bad in imovie '09

Everytime I upload my video through the camcorder to imovie, the quality of the video is bad. The video appears darker and grainy. Any ideas of what to try or why this is happening?

Could be several problems:
As mentioned above, don't shoot in "cine mode" 24p. iMovie doesn't like it. Use the "program" for most of your shooting. "shutter", or "aperture" will all be fine if you use them in the correct situations.
Your camcorder could be stuck in "shutter" with a fast shutter speed set. It would give you grainy video.
Are you taking video in low light or indoors? The FS200 is a great little camera, but it is grainy in low light situations. Take some video outside during the day and see if the quality is still poor. Unfortunately, every sub $1000 camera does this.

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

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:

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 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.

What should I expect in quality? Make video better? optimize?

Hello
I'm using iChat 3.1 for the first time. I have tried using both a AIM account and .mac account. The software works fine for me. My question is
1) what should I expect in terms of video quality? Is there something out there I can compare it to? I must say it is not the resolution I was expecting. I guess mine looks good as a 3" x 3" screen but strtching it to 12 x 12 is pretty bad. Is this what it's supposed to look like? is there a way to optimize it? I read somewhere that the bad video was a function of AIM? and if you go through this "other way" it will be better. (can't find that info I read!)
2)Alternatively, could I theoretically network my computer and my mom's, and then have a better video session using another video access. (don't know which one or how)
3) I have also tried using my wireless access and the video is much worse and the audio is delayed, so I switched back to ethernet. Am I doing something wrong?
At this point I would only be videoing with this one other computer.
thanks for any help
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) using iSIght on one and DV-camera on other

Hello Gina,
Welcome to apple discussions. The video quality on ichatav depends on many factors:
1. Bandwidth limitations of your ISP
2. CPU speed (the faster the better)
3. The size of the actual chat window (the bigger, the lower the quality) Full screen ichatav can be marginal at best.
4. Lighting
5. Unusually fast motion or panning will effect your video quality
6. Camera quality ... Generally Mini DV cameras capture great quality. In fact they often get significantly better picture quality than most web cams. Firewire cameras are generally far better than most usb devices.
7. iChat video pref. settings will effect video quality (try setting video preferences to "None").
8. The connection doctor is a useful tool w/in ichatav. However having it constantly open during a video chat can actually slow the application down a bit and hence may also effect video quality. Check it quickly and then close it after you see all is working as expected. Do not leave it constantly open during a video chat or while attempting to start a video chat.
9. Having several applications open while video chatting can also effect the quality of your video chat/s.
10. Hosting a 3 way video conference will run significantly slower and at lower frame rate than video chatting with just one other party at a time.
And according to Ian Bickerstaff, the following also effects quality:
LIGHTS:
In system preferences ( from the Blue Apple top left of your screen there )
System preferences > Personal > Desktop&Screensaver > Desktop > Solid Colours.
Select the pure white option ( Its invisible - Just click to the right of the last colour option )
That increases the light thrown onto your face. It also prevents any odd discolouration that can come with using darker back grounds.
Use a local Spot light to light just you in a larger room. Very atmospheric
Use the video preview before you start a video chat to make sure that your image is "up to scratch" Play around with the amount of light and where it is positioned.
SOUND:
Is the volume set correctly? Setting it at 75% seems to be the best option.
CAMERA:
If you wear glasses try to get the camera in a position where by the screen does not block out your eyes.
Look at the camera - It sort of implies "making eye contact" - Instead of looking at the screen. Placing the video " window " as near as you can to the camera helps ( thanks Sillydog )
If its a family chat - Place the camera so that all people can be seen and move the microphone ( if you have one ) so all people can be heard.
ACTION: Not just yet....
Are you sitting comfortably? Is it going to be a long chat? Do you have a drink to hand? Do you know what you want to say?
If there is a phone in the room - Do you want to turn it off to avoid interruption?

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?
