Conversion makes file bad quality

When exporting a PDF to word it makes the quality bad. Full of white and black lines. Why does it not work?

Hi Jonte,

QT Files: bad quality and not compatible - ???

Hello!
QT is driving me crazy!
1. If I use it to import video from my DV cam, it always starts with a very small video size instead of the nativ video resolution (DV Pal) and always with quality set to low.
2. If I capture interlaced material from my DV camera or my TV card and export it, the new video is the same size as the original one (Pal), but every 3rd or 4th line is replaced by the previous one and the interlacing is distroyed (the video looks just horrible).
3. If I export an avi file from QT, the file is useless (with QT or any other app) untill I doctor it with ffmpegX or D-Vision.
4. If I encode a video with the H264 codec no other app than QT (e.g. VLC) can playback the file. (If I use ffmpegX and encode a video with H264 I can playback it with all apps).
WHY??? QT should be the link between all video processing programs - but it's completely useless because it's so buggy!
Or is that Apples way to force all users to use there programs only!?! Any comments?
What about:
1. Is there another app to capture/import video data from DV cams or TV cards than QT. What about myVCR (does it reencode the video or simply copy it to HD?)
2. Does QT only work with NTSC resolutions when dealing with interlaced video? Or is there an option somewhere to force it to keep the material interlaced?
3./4. Is that improved by the latest update?
Cheers
Balrock
PS: Pal is the european TV video standart 720x576 lines, NTSC is the US standart with 720x480 lines.

1. If I use it to import video from my DV cam, it always starts with a very small video size instead of the nativ video resolution (DV Pal) and always with quality set to low.
Do you check/set the "Native Device" Preference BEFORE attempting the capture. Also, since QT capture is dependent on CPU power, would not normally recommend it as your primary means of video capture.
3. If I export an avi file from QT, the file is useless (with QT or any other app) untill I doctor it with ffmpegX or D-Vision.
AVI files may contain any number of audio/video compression formats including muxed and MP3/MPEG layer-3 not supported in QT without installation of the appropriate third party proprietary codecs.
4. If I encode a video with the H264 codec no other app than QT (e.g. VLC) can playback the file. (If I use ffmpegX and encode a video with H264 I can playback it with all apps).
There are three distinct work flows which will create H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) files. Which one are you using and for what are you targeting the output?
WHY??? QT should be the link between all video processing programs - but it's completely useless because it's so buggy!
QT is a simple control head utility for playback which, when properly registered, allows elementary editing of compatible frame-to-frame synchronized files by direct access/manipulation of the system's QT Tools package.
1. Is there another app to capture/import video data from DV cams
Check out the free "Vidi" utility at http://mitzpettel.com/software/vidi.php to see if it might meet your needs.
2. Does QT only work with NTSC resolutions when dealing with interlaced video? Or is there an option somewhere to force it to keep the material interlaced?
May be "Video Source" preference dependent. Don't have a PAL camera, so the question never came up in my testing.

Bad quality mov files

Hello everybody,
Since the last update to Final Cut Pro X 10.1.1 I get a bad quality of movies. They are a bit "bumpy". It feels like every few minutes a few frames are missing. The movies are not running "smoothly" anymore. (Especially the MOV files are bad). I never had this before.
Is there someone familiar with this problem?

I use Wondershare to convert files, because FCPX does not reed most formats. I convert files with Wondershare to MP4, so that FCPX can read the files, and I am able to make changes. After changing the files I export them to MOV or M4V so that iTunes or Apple TV can read the files. Almost all files are H.264 with AC3 surround sound. After conversion with Wondershare they are H.264 with AAC suurond sound. (M4V or MOV).
Wondershare is reliable. If I convert the files with Wondershare directly to MOV of M4V, I don't have any problems. The only thing is, Wondershare is just a converter, and I can not make changes with Wondershare. That is why I use FCPX.
Sorry for my late response, but that is becuase of the time lap. (Netherlands).
Anyhow, thanks for your effort.

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? ....

Bad quality of generated deb file

Hello again
I have managed to change some quality related code responsible for generating different diagram in EPF.
Below you can see that now EPF is generating less compressed jpegs and some anti-aliasing is added to (I purposely disabled it on the text, beacause and you can see in first post there are some issues with some letters).
If you want this in your EPF, I have attached my jar files.
Just move out the originals one (files with name starting e.g. org.eclipse.epf.authoring.ui, but timestamp will be different) from plugins/ to some folder outside eclipse, and put my ones in the plugins folder.
I include MD5 checksums:
e7483d1cc7c290e8eb5001665995165c *org.eclipse.epf.authoring.ui_1.5.0.201409251338.jar

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 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.

Does ACR 5.7 conversion shrink files using Photoshop Elements 8?

I am using ACR 5.7 (via Photoshop Elements 8) to first process RAW files from my Canon 550D and then convert to JPEG for final tweaking. I have found that the original RAW files are around 20 MEG but the resultant JPEG (even if I do nothing but convert using "open image") is only 880K or something like that. Have I set something wrong? Is there a way to preserve the file size or something similar? Is there a setting to change or should I try reinstalling?

Papa Lesh,
Even though JPEGs get compressed, a factor of 20MB to 880KB is way to much if you didn't crop the image and did not save with a very high compression (meaning very bad quality). This is assuming your image contains data, and is not just 20MB of the same colored pixels.
Example:
If I convert a 15MB RAW (Canon EOS 1Ds) to JPG in PSE8, the resulting JPG is around 9MB in one example. The maths to this is as follows:
- The EOS 1DS RAW is 12 bits per pixel
- The JPEG (uncompressed) is 24 bits per pixel
- 15MB / 12 * 24 = 30MB
- A 9MB JPEG hast been compressed by 66%
Can you post a screenshot of your conversions-settings and/or your JPEG-Options while doing a "Save as" as follows:
Sorry, I can only provide screenshots in German, but I guess you'll see what I mean.

After Effects riddle (bad quality when I delet sth different)

Hi there. I have one bought project an I am wondering why my logo makes blurred automatically if I delete any different layer who is unseen.
Someone can explain this?
This is an "UNSEEN" layer. It has to be right here. When I delete this invisible layer, my logo ("Logo Animation" name below) makes blurres and got bad quality. But I see no reason for that. "Map 1" has no option or parented or something. Do you know why if I delete unseen "Map1" my Logo makes bad quality?
Here is a whole project:

This is not extreme important thing to my job or sth. I am only curious

IMovie '08 option to make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08

Which iMovie '08 option will make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08?
1. Share-Media Browser-Large-Publish
2. Share-Export Using Quicktime
3. Or can you use an unpublished iMove in iDVD?
(Of course I'll have to first get iDVD to open without crashing...)

Which iMovie '08 option will make the best quality video on a DVD using iDVD '08?
1. Share-Media Browser-Large-Publish

3. Or can you use an unpublished iMove in iDVD?
As always, this depends on a number of factors which you failed to cover in your original question.
1) If you source files are SD, other than an increased loss of time in converting you gain nothing in scaling the files up in iMovie '08 only to scale them back down in iDVD. On the other hand, if your source files are HD, then you will likely see a marginal increase in quality which may or may not be worth the price of increased processing time. In this latter case, you are allowing the MPEG-2 compressor to get the most it can out of your file at the P- and B-frame level.
2) Export using QT allows you to customize your output with regard to both compression format and settings. For instance, you can use a codec with extremely high data rate (e.g., VGA dimensions with DV at 28.5-57.0 Mpbs, AIC at 18.0-22.0 Mbps, or even unlimited H.264/AAC at 16.0-20.0 Mbps). High video data rates generally translate to less lost quality during the re-compression process. Thus, if the intermediate file produced by iMovie '08 and passed on to iDVD retains more of its original quality, the MPEG-2 compressor can get more quality out of the final conversion as stated above.
3) Since no physical file actually exists until the project (simply a set of instructions detailing how the final file will be created) is published, there is nothing to be physically sent to iDVD. basically you must create a physical file from the project in order to do anything at all whether sending it to a gallery, iTunes, YouTube, iDVD, etc.

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

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.

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?

How to make a good quality 8 Giga DVD out of a Project in AVI of 14 Gigas?

I have a film in a proyect made with a miniDV camera in my old Premiere 6.5
It has 68 minutes and after exporting it with the Microsoft DV AVI compressor in 100 % quality and not compressing the audio, it ended in an AVI of 14 Gigas.
I would like to obtain a DVD of the best quality in audio and video possible. How can I do it? SHOULD I EXPORT IT FROM THE PREMIERE 6.5 WITH ANOTHER COMPRESSOR OR IN LESS THAN 100% QUALITY WITH THE SAME DV AVI COMPRESSOR ? my INTENTION IS TO USE THE NERO VISION AFTERWARDS... I HAVE THE NERO VISION 4...-. FROM 2007- WOULD IT BE OK OR IS THERE A BETTER ONE? - I know there are newer ones...but better?
OR SHOULD I JUST USE THE ACTUAL 14 GIGA AVI PROJECT AND PUT IT STRAIGHT INTO THE NERO ? I GUESS THIS NERO COMPRESSION SHOULD BE WORST THAN THE ONE THAT THE PREMIERE WOULD MAKE...
Thanks a lot for all the help and advise you could give me !!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS IF IT IS A PROBLEM TO MAKE A GOOD QUALITY 8 GIGA DVD I COULD JUST MAKE A 4 GIGA ONE...

68 minutes DV should fit just nice on a single dvd.
Feed the DV file directly into Nero. Nero will transcode everything for you.
You can also use AME from Premiere 6.5 and export the timeline direct to mpeg2-dvd.
Unfortunately i do not know if Nero is going to re-transcode this mpeg file before burning to dvd.

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)).

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one

How to edit and make a high quality swf a low quality one. how do you do this in adobe flash cs5? The file i edited is entirely too large

click file/publish settings/html and use the quality settings dropdown.
if that doesn't lead to satisfactory file size, you may need to check the properties of each bitmap in the library to see if it's set to over-ride the global settings.
