Distorted video transfers

On mavericks/latest iphoto attempting to transfer my videos over from an ipod 5 onto my hd and all of my videos (which play cleanly on the ipod) are being transferred with this kind of quality on each one http://gyazo.com/e36d5d01fc84d36cbe1eea132dc2e5ef
Can anyone tell me why this is? I foolishly already deleted several videos off the ipod after the transfer thinking everything was fine and am now stuck with these but hoping I can salvage the ones I haven't deleted yet.

Do you get a different outcome if you use Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) to move the video?

  • IPad Captured Video transferred to MacBook Pro corrupted...

    I recently imported video I had taken with my iPad to my MacBook Pro.  When the videos were imported they appear corrupted (green and blotchy).  I then tried to transfer them back to my iPad, however the corruption of the video still exists.  Any suggestions on how to fix this or avoid it in the future welcomed.

    The videos weren't altered & imported in their original state.  I did use them in the iMovie app, but there was no issue during this or when playing the edited clip.
    In addition, my iMovie on my MacBook pro is having trouble generating thumbnails; attempts to generate & then shuts down due to error.  I am not sure if this is connected to the distorted video issue. 
    Sadly I didn't keep the originals on the iPad, as I wasn't expecting there to be an issue when transferring between 2 Mac products.

  • Why am I getting wavy, distorted video on a DVD made with iDVD?

    I made a DVD with iDVD 5 that has wavy, distorted video. It is watchable but you can clearly see that vertical lines are somewhat wavy whenever the camera pans across the scene. An up-down pan doesn’t distort the horizontal lines, however.
    The source video file doesn't display this waviness. Also, I created a DVD of the same video using a PC and the resultant DVD didn't display the waviness. The waviness occurs whether the DVD is played on the computer or a TV monitor with a standalone DVD player. From all this I conclude that it has to be a consequence of the iDVD5 burning process.
    Here’s some additional information: The PC burned the video from its original MPEG-2 format. The Mac burned the video from a .mov file that I created from the original MPEG-2 file using MPEG Streamclip. (I need to use MPEG Streamclip to restore (actually convert, I suppose) the audio as the source file has AC3 audio that doesn’t play in iMovie or Quicktime.) The resulting .mov file - when played with Quicktime before burning - does not exhibit the waviness, so I don't think the MPEG Streamclip conversion process is at fault.
    On the same DVD I also placed a different video from the same source. It doesn’t display any of the waviness that I get from the other video. The only difference between the videos is that this latter video – after the MPEG Streamclip processing - was chaptered in iMovie HD and then exported to iDVD as a .mov file. I’d hate to think that I have to run every video through iMovie to eliminate the waviness.
    So is this just an inexplicable defect or is there something that I might do differently to avoid the waviness that I’m getting in this video?

    Robert,
    To me, the red flag is that you've created a .mov file from Quicktime for import back into iDVD. A .mov file is generally a smaller formatted movie, typically only 320X240 pixels in size. This size movie, by default, would look perfect when played in QT. But, to go back to iDVD or iMovie, the movie must be expanded back to a 720X480 size movie (typically the DV stream that these programs want and need), so expanding will cause all sorts of distortion. Can you go back to your original MPEG2 source movie and get the movie info on it? You should be able to see the original size. If it is something like 640X480 or 720X480 then use QT to create a .DV file. This will maintain the original size.

  • Distorted video - too wide

    I have posted about this on Crackberry.com.  But maybe should bring it up here.
    The main problem is that when viewing a video on my Z10, images are stretched left to right and so people are wider than normal and also objects like buildings, etc also are too wide.  It is less noticeable in landscape screens.  Upon a suggestion I received today, I opened the same video in the Z10's Browser and the video is NOT distorted.  But I think that the app should work properly.
    Here's some extracts from the thread:
    http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-z10-f254/distorted-video-too-wide-849144/
    I copied a homemade mp4 file to the z10 of one of my vacation trips (I create a dvd movie from the digital photos). The image is "widened" and frankly I don't need any help in the WIDENING area. It seems to show correctly on my PB and on my computer. But on the Z10 it is wide. Pinch does not HOLD - bounces right back to wide.
    There does not seem to be a setting to alter this behavior or appearance. If not connected to the tv, the DISPLAY/hdmi setting is grayed out.
    I just created a new video. Since the phone was going downstairs, I copied the mp4 video to the phone. Plugged it into my tv but, once again, the images are distorted - too wide. So the screen is spread left to right and people are too wide. The effect is less noticeable on Scenery but you can see it for buildings and such. And, it is not just on my TV but it is also evident on the Z10, itself. So, the z10 appears to not be displaying the image or video WIDTH correctly.
    I then copied the same video to my Playbook (another BB device) and the video is fine and NOT DISTORTED.
    I am still on the original Verizon bb10.1.xxxxxxxxxxxx OS.
    Any idea if there is a setting on the phone that I am missing.
    **bleep**! I had not thought about opening the video in the Browser. You are RIGHT - the video proportions are correct when opened in the Browser. So this is a definite bug in the Video app's software or settings. Of course, one should not have to go into the browser to view videos because the app is BROKEN.
    I wonder if Kalemsoft or other video apps performs correctly?
    When I first posted the thread, I did not know if it was my desktop software's coding or resolution or .... So I burned off the video in format after format to no avail. I am somewhat surprised that no one else has raised this issue. Maybe I will take it to the official bb forum.

  • X300 with Distorted Video With USB Port Replicator

    I have 2 X300s using the enhanced port replicators. The video on these two machines were fine for the last 2 months until last week. The video is distorted while connected to the VGA port on the replicator, but fine when connected to the onboard video. I replaced the port replicators and that seem to resolve the issue for day but the distorted video came back. Has anyone encountered this and is there fix? Both machines are on XP.

    Hello Rudi,
    Thank you so much for the reply.
    We tried today another T440 laptop with 64bit OS and as mentioned by you, we figured out that the conflict is happening between Intel Graphics 4400 driver with USB replicator.
    When I done an uninstallation of the updated Intel Graphics and the USB replicator works fine.
    As the laptop will be provided to HOD, so we will be going for a purchase of a replicator with good compatibility with 64 OS and intel video card.
    Appreciate your reply.
    Good day ahead.

  • Distorted video after export

    Hello.
    I have exported a video using AVCHD mp4 format. 25 fps. 1280x720 px. Aspect "Square Pixels(1.0) 1:1. Both tried CBR and VBR. With target bitrate 1.6 Mbps. See the attached pic for settings. And also see the distorted video problem I have. Can you please help me with correcting the export settings? Thanks.

    The image of the lady shows interlace artifacting and that doesn't make sense since the export was progressive and that should deinterlace the footage. One thing to check, I see that Aspect Ratio is set to "Custom", this ought to be 16:9 so please try that. Also just noticed "TV Standard" is set to "NTSC", should be "PAL" for 25fps video.
    Perhaps you should take a step back. What is the intended delivery format? There are a ton of H.264 presets and most of them willl yield good results. You have everything customized and that is likely the issue. I would start with a decent preset and see what that does before you change things around.
    Thanks

  • IMac G5 Distorted Video (Possibly Capacitors)

    This is the main story you can skip this if you want to get straight to the problem: Hi, I got an iMac G5 (1st Generation 17-inch 1.6ghz PowerPC no isight) from my dad's friend and he said I could look around inside. He said he already looked around and switched around the ram etc. So I booted it myself and got a blue screen, did a PRAM reset and rebooted it about 10 times. I got the distorted video to look OK. (I am using some third party power cable, and a windows keyboard and mouse.) So then I held down my "option" key (Alt) and booted from a tiger cd. I was able to install it, but when I boot I can only boot from safe mode. I still get distorted video but you can still kind of see what is on the screen. If I don't boot from safe mode I either get a kernel panic when booting or when loading OSX, or I get a blue blue screen. If I try to put it asleep it crashes and if I leave it alone for just a little while it crashes. I tried an SMC reset, didn't work. I did command option o f and reset everything, didn't work. Also OSX wont detect the built in speaker, bluetooth, or headphone jack. The fans also randomly go FULL THROTTLE if it froze or if there was a kernel panic END OF MAIN STORY
    I looked into to this a little bit more and found out it is MOST likely to be the capicitors so I was like huh. So I unscrewed the 3 bottom screws popped open the back and then THERE IT WAS! 2 blown capacitors. They were leaking the electrolyte fluid or whatever. I this picture I found of my same model with the blown capicitors, I circled the two blown capacitors I found. (this is not my picture) http://i.imgur.com/aFArv.jpg and so yea, I ordered two of the ones 1800hu or nu idk 6.3 V on Amazon. My dad's friend (the same guy who gave me this) has a soldering iron and will solder them in. I just wanted to see if this COULD be the problems or some of the problems could be related to other things. Thanks.

    That is highly likely to be your problem.  They recommend replacing ALL the capacitors while you're doing it.  You have to disassemble the entire iMac while doing the soldering (from what I've read, I've never undertaken the job myself), and you can buy kits for under $20 (google G5 capacitor kits).  I think they also recommend reapplying the thermal paste to the processor.
    It will probably need a new PRAM battery while you've got it open.
    Of course there is no guarantee that the RAM and Hard Drive are okay, but they probably are.
    Good luck.

  • Distorted video after importing to iMovie 09

    Please HELP!
    After converting a video into .mp4 format (that i can edit it in iMovie 09) and importing it to iMovie 09 I get completely distorted video; the picture is squeezed & the sound is not synchronized.
    Before i made a lot of similar videos & everything was ok.
    When I try to use precision editor, it doesn't help that much, i still see bad syncr. of sound and bad picture.
    Please help me, cause the video is great & i need to edit it.
    Am i using the wrong importing or converting format?
    If so, which do you recommend instead?
    The one I always use is: APPLE TV MPEG-4 720x432 (*.mp4)
    These are the properties of the converted video:
    Video ID: 0x2
    Format: xvid
    Resolution: 720x432
    Frame rate: 30.00 fps
    Bit Rate: 1501 kbps

    Audio ID: 0x1
    Format: AAC
    Sample rate: 48000 Hz
    Channels: 2
    Bit rate: 127 kbps
    Is there perhaps just a simple trick that I can use so that it automatically fixes this problem?
    Any answer is welcome!!!
    Please be fast with the answer!!!

  • Can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

    can my computer play movies and videos transferred to time capsule

    I use InFuse, an iPhone, iPad, App.
    It can play the video on the iPhone or iPad.
    I use it to play on the TV using AirPlay and AppleTV.
    It does transcoding where needed. It uses screen mirroring for native formats such as mp4.
    It can look up the movie and TV series database for information, plot description, rating, cover art etc.
    For playing on the Mac just open the file in Quicktime.

  • Video is distorted when transferring from a VHS

    I have tried several times to transfer VHS tapes into iMovie on my MacG5 via a pinnacle movie box dv. The tapes tends to start transferring well, but then I see momentary glitches where the video becomes distorted and the sound pops. Any idea why this could happen and how to prevent it?

    There are no settings on the PInnacle to adjust. I have used the Pinnacle before, and every so often I will get these slight glitches. Its strange - you might think its the pinnacle, BUT the same glitch happens at the spot on the tape every time which may lead one to think its the tape. But if I play the same tape on my TV, there is nothing wrong with it. Any ideas?
    Could it have anything to do with the FW ports on the G5?

  • Purchased iTunes tracks distorts video

    I recently completed an iMovie project with video clips and stills (Ken Burns effect). When I added audio tracks from my iTunes Library, they all worked fine except for the ones I had purchased from the iTunes music store. The related videos and stills associated with the purchased audio tracks were choppy, distorted and sometime would freeze, although the actual audio tracks sounded great. When I deleted the purchased tracks, or added audio tracks from the Library that I had copied from my own CD's, the video and stills worked fine. Is there a simple fix or am I stuck with some format or other glitch that happens when I buy something from the iTunes music store? Thanks for your thoughts.

    Hi starstar:
    Welcome to the discussions!
    Your best bet is to burn the purchased music to an audio cd and re-import that way. The purchased music is protected and will need to be transfered that way.

  • Video transfers without using iTunes

    Hi. is there a way of transferring videos from my external hard drive directly to my iphone for viewing without normal syncing with iTunes? i do not have enough space on my mac to copying all the videos into iTunes to be able to sync to my iPhone.
    or is there a way of using iTunes to import the file without copying it directly onto my mac. if memory serves, iTunes on windows only collects the links or filepaths to the music files, is there a way of doing this on mac just for the videos and then syncing the videos directly to my iPhone.

    thank you. i shall try that very soon. on a related note. does the iPhone play avi /divx coded videos? avi videos that i do have in iTunes do not sync...

  • Distorted video-out signal on Qosmio F10

    Hi,
    Up until recently my video-out function on my Qosmio F10 worked just fine. When I connected my laptop to the TV the other day, using a s-video cable, the picture had turned quite distorted. The picture on the TV flickers and sometimes disappears totally.
    My laptop has the Nvidia GeForce FX Go5700 graphics card and I have changed no settings what so ever from the point in time when the video-out was working properly.
    To debug I've bought a new s-video cable and also a scart-adapter. Using these I've eliminated that the TV's s-video in port is the problem. It seems to me as if something is wrong with the signal from the graphics card.
    I'd be very grateful for a diagnose on this issue.
    Thanks and regards,
    Johan

    Hi,
    I've made sure that I use the latest drivers (although the ones that Toshiba provides are not exactly brand new!). I've also made sure that I use the correct TV-format (PAL-B in my case). Furthermore, I've tried both using the s-video port on the TV directly and also using a scart adapter... The result is still the same...
    I'm inclined to believe that there is something wrong with the hardware (e.g. a loose contact in the s-video out port). In that case i guess this might be a warranty issue...
    Rgds,
    Johan

  • Distorted video

    Hi, I'm new to videocams and related software, so please be patient with me! I have just bought a sony HDR-HC3 videocam and decided to use FCE HD 3.5.
    When I capture the video and using the easy setup 1080i50 which the videocam supports, I notice that when I play back the clips on my monitor there is a distortion almost like a camera shudder, or a blurring of the edges as though the video is interlaced perhaps. Now I dont have this problem if I use iMovie. I think that it has something to do with the settings but cannot find out what it can be.
    Can anyone offer any help on this one please?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    The consumer model HC3, like many consumer and some prosumer models, don't show overscan. It seems that what you see on the camcorder's monitor is smaller than the recorded area.
    Do the comparaison: Monitor same footage on camcorder's LCD and in the viewer in FCE HD with "title and action safe overlay" option turned on.
    If your camcorder don't show overscan, you will see a much greater image in viewer in FCE. The title and action safe overlay show the portion that you have to be aware when you put content that will show on TV screen.
    This portion of image does not appear on a TV set, but it will show on computer screen.
    May be your artifact problem is related to this fact. The edges are invisible on LCD or TV set, but do appears in viewer.
    When you say that you monitor, do you mean on your computer screen with "digital cinema desktop feature" ?
    Does you monitor has a native 1920X1080 pixels resolution (or greater).
    If not, FCE HD downsize your image for viewing.
    Are you sure that your HC3 is a european model (that use 1080i50)?
    If not, try 1080i60 in easy setup.
    Pay attention that any change in easy setup will takt place for new sequences only.

  • MacPro causing distorted video

    I am having problems with my MacPro outputting to my TV.
    I use a 32" Philips LCD TV as my primary display, and is connected via DVI to HDMI cable. previously i had been using an iMac 20" to connect using the same TV and same cable (with added miniDVI to DVI adaptor). This resulted in no problems at all.
    But now with the new MacPro connected instead.....I am getting video distortions occasionally. It looks like the video is not refreshing fast enough and i see a weird horizontal distortion bar run across an area of screen for a second and then its fine again for a while.
    Any ideas on how to resolve?
    i have SL set to 1080i for screen resolution which should be correct too.

    I notice you started another thread with the same question as before (word for word!).
    Google results
    I would ask in Logic Pro Discussion (I couldn't find anything on a quick search) except for:
    Video dropouts
    Anyone using Mac Pro for more than very light or casual use, I would strongly recommend 4GB RAM. Apple even goes so far as to say that with FCP, it is essential for performance to have a 4 x 1GB (2 x 1GB on each Riser) to enable full 256-bit quad-channel memory bandwidth. The other part, to make good use of four internal drive bays.
    Would the Radeon X1900 offer any benefits, though?
