Connecting N97 to PAL TV, bad quality

Hi there,
I use the original 3 wired Nokia cable to connect my N97 to our PAL TV. But image quality is pretty poor. Is there any way to improve it? Is there a HDMI cable for the N97?

Is your flicker filter turned on?. Go to settings>phone>accessories>accessory settings>TV-out, then turn on the flicker filter.

  • 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.

  • MiniDisplay Port (Thunderbolt MacbookPro) to DisplayPort Dell U2410m don't work! The signal only comes as YPbPr, no RGB and bad quality. Is there any solution?

    I want to connect my new MacBook Pro via DisplayPort to a Dell U2410m monitor.
    But the signal only comes as YPbPr, no RGB and bad quality. Is there any solution?
    It works with the mini display port to DVI adapter from Apple but I want to use the DisplayPort.

    J~
    cmelbourne91 was suggesting HDMI because many of the MDP/Thunderbolt to DVI adapters come with an additional DVI to HDMI (not Apple's) and you likely won't find any MDP to HDMI becuase of something weird with one of the Apple or HDMI related patents and the type of cable/jack/plug required for it.
    As for my computer (15" MBP mid 2010), it almost seems as if I have your problem but intermittently. When connected to an external monitor or projector, the thing will project just fine, but then after some time (and no movement of the computer, cables, or screen) the connection quits. Sometimes it comes back on, sometimes it does not, but it basically registers as if there is no external display.
    Any additional info on this?

  • Bad quality colorbust

    I have a IMAQ 1408 and a NTSC camera (alm-2451g wireless microcamera,
    like this: http://www.prymesecurity.com/2451g.htm ) and i can't snap
    Still-color images because i get this acquisition error message:
    bad quality colorbust.
    I know that colorbust is color synchronization signal: someone can
    tell me why IMAQ 1408 can't find it?
    With other acquisition cards i can capture color videos and images
    easy, but with IMAQ 1408 i can just snap and grab in monochromatic
    mode (selecting disabled in "still color" combo).

    Hello.
    With other acquisition cards i can capture color videos and images
    easy, but with IMAQ 1408 i can just snap and grab in monochromatic
    mode (selecting disabled in "still color" combo)
    This is a little surprising, as the error message that you get is almost always related to a non-color camera being connected to a PCI-1408 (or 1409) in still-color mode. This error comes when the signal is not as expected. Based on what you have mentioned, I am guessing this is a composite color camera. There are only a few remaining things to check/change:
    1. Be sure composite is selected in the still-color mode.
    2. Be sure that NTSC is selected as the camera (right-click on channel and select Camera_NTSC).
    3. Go to the property page for the channel and ve
    rify that the reference voltages and other settings are according to the specs of the camera.
    I hope this helps lead to the answer!

  • Why Bad Quality Music CD Import to Itunes

    I have many CD imported and it works fine. Then I imported 2 different CDs and the quality is very noisy , just like a old scratchy Vinyl.
    Same quality when played off the computer or on my Ipod 30G
    Any idea why these two different CD suddenly behave this way. I have tried several times but same bad quality

    I have the same problem ... after have been connected first time with lastfm (I don´t think that that´s the point) I discovered a scratchy noise mixed into some few tunes, being imported from brilliant, highend and original cds. hm. listing to the same tunes out of the desktop-window (user>music>itunes>artist ...) the noise is gone or very minimal. Changing import-settings (Yes, I have read: "What's the best format to encode music in?" ) and listening with headphones made no difference. Has anybody an idea? would be glad

  • Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

    Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
    Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

    Hi my notes on this - might be of help
    DVD quality
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
    iDVD 6 has the two last ones
    • Professional Quality
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
    • Best Performances
    (movies + menus  less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
    • High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
    (movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
    About double on DL DVDs.
    2. Video from
    • FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
    • iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
    when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    • iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
    3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09  this can also be set)
    This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
    4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
    use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
    5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
    6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
    7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
    (I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
    8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
    iDVD quality also depends on.
    • DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
    These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
    Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
    _ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
    _ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
    _ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
    The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
    Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
    • HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
    less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
    • How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
    • Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
    • Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
    iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
    • What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
    other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
    Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
    strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
    Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
    • What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
    (If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
    (Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
    (US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
    (EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
    UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
    • What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
    • How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
    Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
    Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
    Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
    1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
    (x4 by some and may be even better)
    2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
    Region codes.
    iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
    DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
    1 = US
    2 = EU

    What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
    I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
    I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
    For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
    TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
    • Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
    • No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
    • Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
    • Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
    • Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
    • Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
    pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

  • 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.

    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)).

  • 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?

  • Bad quality after converting to PDF and direct emailing of form letters from MS Word

    Hello,
    when using the the "form letter" option (for creating personalized PDF files from form letters, that are then directly emailed as attachments via outlook) under the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word I keep getting PDF documents with bad quality (e.g. a logo that is inserted in the document becomes very pixelated). When directly converting the same document to a PDF file using the "create PDF" option unter the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word, I get a high quality pdf file with a perfectly smooth logo (very much the same as it looks in the original MS word document).
    Does anyone have an idea what causes the discrepancy in quality of the pdf files that are created via the two options "form letter" and "create PDF" in the "Acrobat" add-in for MS Word?
    Any help is highly appreciated,
    thank you,
    Hans

    Maybe I have not made myself clear in the first post. What I am trying to say is, that I keep getting bad quality PDFs (e.g. pixelated logos) when using the "form letter" option (blue box in the image above) but not when using the "create PDF" option (red box in the image above) from the Acrobat add-in in MS Word. Changing the settings for pdf conversion (green box in the image above) only affects PDFs created from the "create PDF" but not the "form letter" option.
    Does anyone know how to create high quality (e.g. high resolution) PDFs using the "form letter" option (blue box)?
    Best regards,
    Hans

  • Bad quality of web images X1 Carbon 2015

    All images (especially the small ones) and icons from internet and some applications have very bad quality as if they had very low resolution. For example, all avatars on Facebook look really bad, I can hardly recognize people. The same holds for all logos and banners with text images. I understand that the images get distorted because of extremely high resolution of the display (2560x1440) - by the way normal text and all Windows images have excellent clarity - however I can hardly beleive that a 2000 EUR machine is not able to provide appropriate image quality even for simle internet surfing! Is that a fact you have to accept when having 2560x1440 or is it somehow possible to get normal image quality? (Otherwise I'll return the laptop).

    Here is a screen shot of how it looks like when you open private modus in IE.
    At the top you see the blue block [InPrivate] in excellent quality and at the bottom you see how the same thing is displayed when it's an image. Actually both should look the same.

  • Bad quality pictures in dim light

    When I'm in dim light situations, (Bar) my pictures are grainy and really dark. When I used several of my friends iPhones to take additional pics, I noticed 1) the image on the screen before taking the picture is brighter. 2) the picture is is better quaility, more vibrant. My comparison was against 2 other iPhone 4S'. Also, when using my flash, the pics have a blue tint. I always assumed that this is because of the use of an LED as the flash. Compared to both my friends iPhones, theirs is more normal looking.
    Should I just take it into the Apple Store and let them deal with this?

    You answered your own question.  It's the low light.
    What is the solution to this issue?
    Are you using the flash?
    You might also want to try out an app called King Camera.  It allows a bit of control over exposure that might help.

  • When publishing characters get bad quality

    Hi!
    I'm trying to use Captivate 6 characters, but, when I watch the slides in the editing version, it's OK, when I try to preview or publish them, they get a very bad quality.
    Can you help me, please
    Thanks, Mariana

    Those characters are high quality images, with transparency. I suppose you are still on 6.0.1 and didn't change the default slide quality, which is set to low. That is the reason, finally the team listened to my begging and in 6.1. the default quality is set to Optimized. Try to change that quality, and if that doesn't solve the issue, uncheck all compression settings when publishing as well.

  • "Bad quality received from network module."

    My computer has 2 Fieldpoint ethernet banks setup to allow Lookout to interface with mulitple HW peripherals.  Lookout launches automatically when the computer starts up.  And after everything is loaded, one of the ethernet banks will almost immediately log the following alarm, "Bad quality received from network module."  Does anyone know what criteria/logic is behind the triggering of this alarm?

  • My exported 2015 iMovie file has bad quality.

    Hello.
    I just got a new MacBook pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3.  Using iMovie 10.0.7 (the latest version to my knowledge.)
    I realize that this question has been beaten to death all over the internet, but I haven't made any headway STILL.  I just completed an edit that looks AMAZING in iMovie, and when I export it, the file is very distorted.  I'm exporting at the highest quality (1080p) and the file ends up being 8GB (8 minute movie) which I would think a big file like that would produce good quality.
    I'm stuck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Here's the upload (notice the distortion and grainy-ness during motion, again looks AMAZING in iMovie.)

    iMovie file has bad quality.
    hmmm, really?
    I pick up a scene ...
    <click for fullsize>
    This is a 'killer' for any encoder! Those ultra-soft gradient in the sky shows no banding!
    Not to say: superb! Compare to a less encoded version:
    <click for fullsize>
    you see? THAT is bad quality! Tons of banding in the sky...
    ... post a scene, which doesn't fullfill your standards …
    btw: what camera in use? settings? a GoPro I assume, those 'cinema' settings?
    PS: you let YT play it in as 720/1080? ....
