DVD Image Quality Problem

I just began using Final Cut Studio and elected to burn my DVD from IDVD as I am not yet comfortable with Sutdio Pro. When I play back my disc on any computer MAC or PC it plays fine. However, when I play it on a set-top DVD player two problems occur. 1) I get occasional brief pilelation in a scene. It doesn't always happen at the same place in the playback. 2). Some of the video scenes (especially those which I have extended by slowing the motion, even thogh I have applied frame blending) tend to flicker. Neither of these problems occur when the DVD is played on a computer/monitor or even when played on a tv monitor using the s-video output from a computer. But both happen on the three set-top players I have tried. Any thoughts. Thanks.

Welcome to the world of authoring DVDs. It is very difficult to troubleshoot the exact problem. For starters, iDVD did its job, it made a DVD compliant disc that plays on a DVD player. It plays better on your computer DVD player for a variety of reasons. Your computer has much more sophisticated hardware/software for DVD playback than does a tabletop unit. It could simply be that a progressive scan tabletop DVD player may give you better results. The point being that two different players can yield different results. Artifacts/ pixilation can be by-products of MPEG2 compression (which is what iDVD does to create a DVD). It is helpful to have a basic understanding of what makes a DVD a DVD. When you record on mini-DV you are recording to an already compressed format. Arguably a very good compressed format but compressed nonetheless. This means information is being tossed at the point you are using the camcorder. iDVD, or any DVD authoring app on any computer, Windoze or Mac, compresses this material even further into the MPEG 2 format for playback via a tabletop DVD player. Now mini-DV has about 30 frames per second (NTSC). MPEG (in a very basic nutshell) takes a picture about twice every 30 frames and uses this as a reference frame and then only records the motion difference between that reference frame and the next time it creates a reference frame. So you go from 30 frames/second to TWO, with motion difference! This is how one hour of DV which is 13 gigs, can be compressed to fit onto one DVD. Two hours would be 26 gigs of DV compressed to one DVD! Hence the general quality difference between one-hour and two. And keep in mind that is compression will show artifacts that may have always been there but you didn’t see until the other 28 frames where tossed out. Slow motion can also be very difficult to encode. I have found that going under 50% slow-motion is problematic. One work around is to create your slow-motion sequence and send it back to tape and then re-import from the tape. Now it is no longer a software effect but an actual 29.97 fps clip. Clips with a lot of motion, quick pans & zooms, hand held shots and so on, will also suffer more artifacts because the whole frame is in motion and thus difficult to encode. Which is why a tripod is recommended to keep the frame steady!
Just some thoughts… welcome to the Discussions!

Vist Basic & XFI, random loss of sound and World of Warcraft Hardware enabling iss

Hello.. First off want to say that prior to reinstalling Vista last week, I had no had any issues with my XFI and Vista.. Since the re-install, while running World of Warcraft and Ventrillo, I get random loss of sound. And by that, specifically I mean, the sound shuts off, and I get a constant loud hiss noise that does not stop until a reboot is performed. If I just run WoW and no Ventrillo, I dont get the random problem and the sound runs fine. It is however a highly annoying issue that requires too many reboots in evening. Getting to the point of just trying the onboard sound, which I'd certainly rather not do.
Additionally there is an option in WoW that allows for Hardware enabling, which is supposed to improve performance. When I check this box and restart the game, the box is still not checked. Not sure if this is a CL problem, but something is wrong for sure! I'm using the latest drivers that are on creativelabs.com for my Vista 32 bit system. And again, didnt have these issues prior to the fresh re-install of Vista. Before that I had stepped up the drivers all the way from Vista. Thanks for any feedback on this.

Not sure why your sound is cutting out... but as for WoW, it needs ALchemy installed to run with hardware audio enabled under Vista. I dont believe its in the list of titles included with ALchemy just yet, but adding it manually with the default options works just fine. Without doing this I believe the new sound core used in WoW will automatically detect that it cannot do hardware audio and simply uncheck the box whenever you try, where-as before it would work but still give you Software rendered sound (only instead of WoWs audio engine doing it, it was Vistas - not exactly an improvement). Incidentally, this not only improves performance but vastly improves the sound quality - especially when excessive numbers of sounds are being played. (eg Mass AoE effects on larger numbers of mobs, such as two Warlocks Hellfiring along with a Hurricane and Consecration while pulling the Ballroom - 9 mobs per group - near Moroes in Karazhan) Its possible doing this may also correct your cut-out issue, but its possible it wont. Ive been running WoW alongside Vent for months now under Vista w/ALchemy and an X-Fi and never had such a problem, but then I do also run Vent off the onboard audio so I can use a small earpiece and have voices clearly audible through game sound.

I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I've gotten two different sets of messages. One states that
the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D. The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
What is going on? I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

"The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk). I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem. Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error. If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.

Account Specific Apple DVD Player Audio Problem

I accidently went reverse with the wrong "sticky key" locked during a dvd. (I thought I'd pressed "command-arrow")
Since this I have no audio on any video when using the DVD Player software IN THIS ACCOUT ONLY.
After restarting both the DVD player and the Mac with no success, I switched user accounts, and continued watching said dvd with no problem. Switching back, still no sound.
Clearly I created an error in my user account prefs. In the past, an easy fix. But where do I find the user library/prefs in Mountain Lion?

Hi Chris,
Found the "easy" approach..
A) Hold Option while selecting the Go Menu while in the Finder. The User Library shows as "Library".
B) Keep holding Option as you select Library. (If using Sticky Keys, this means lock the Option Key at point A.)
TADA! The user library is opened before one's eyes.
From there, I switched user accounts via fast user switching, repeated the above. Next I copied the DVD Player folder in Application Support to an external drive, switched back, and replaced the corrupted user folder by copying the one on the external drive.
Sound has returned to the DVD Player! It was likely one file, but none popped out at me, so I just replaced the entire file.

Hardware Configuration Problem

I've installed Windows XP partitioned on my other macs, but I'm having problems on my Mac Pro. Can anyone help with a solution, please? I have a four hard disc set up on my mac pro. The first disc is the one partitioned with my 10.6 boot on the same disc.
Using Boot Camp with Snow Leopard installed, all goes well after partitioning. It installs Windows Xp from the disc, yet when it restarts, I get a black screen with a message as follows:
"Windows could not start because of a computer disc hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from the selected boot disc. Check boot path and disk hardware.
Please check windows documentation...."
As I wrote above, as it restarts ready to load xp, it come up with the message above. And of-course, I cannot load the rest of the drivers from the 10.6 install disc.
Help, please.

I still haven't been able to install but thanks for folks advice.
Anyone else?
I have a internal four hard drive set up. The mac OS and Windows Bootcamp is set up on Hard Drive 1, whilst the other three are stiped with data, completely separate from the apps and windows.
The windows has to be set up on Hard Drive 1, the same disc as my mac boot drive. Using Boot Camp, it is not possible to set up xp/bootcamp on another hard drive other than an internal one.

My I5s camera hardware have problem. Can't focus, and the pictureis very fuzzy. I brought this 5s in Canada, but I use it in China. I can't get support in China to fix my phone.

I brought my 5s last year in Canada. And take back to China to use.
few days ago, I found my camera can't focus and the picture is fuzzy .
I had call to Apple's Chinese service for check and help. After they check, they said this is the hardware 's problem.
Because my 5s is come from Canad, so they can't help me to fix my phone.
I am in China now, what can I do about my phone?
Camera is very important to me.
Please give me the solutio.
thank you very much.

If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked. I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed. eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money. I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

Powerbook G4 12" 867mhz with dvd/cd drive problems - please help!

Hello all,
Just realized this thread should have been in this section. I put it in the using your powerbook section. Sorry for the double post. I just wanted it to be in the right section.
I have just inherited a powerbook g4 from a family member who is upgrading to a new machine. It has dvd/cd drive problems. I'm totally new to OSX and a notebook machine and need some assistance. I've been briefly scanning the forums here and noticed problems with these drives on the model computer. Is there a way to fix this with an install of older software? Here is the problem, if I insert a cd into the super drive it mounts on the desktop, and itunes will play it but it skips and sounds very distorted. I haven't tried a dvd but was told it doesn't even see the dvds on the desktop. Here are the know specs on the machine:
867mhz
640 mb ram
mac os x 10.5.1
boot rom version 4.5.5f4
the burner info: matshita dvd r uj-015
firmware version: docb
Thanks in advance!

Good Morning Mac,
According to your posted specs for the 12" G4PB you have the bare minimum requirements for Leopard. Even Tiger (10.4.11) should have 1GB RAM for decent performance (see my signature specs).
An easily installed 1GB RAM stick can be obtained at either of these reliable vendors:
http://eshop.macsales.com/ or http://www.crucial.com/
However, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Try the following in this order:
Repair Disk Permissions with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair DP, then do the following:
Run Repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk ........
Insert disk and re-start holding down the 'C' key until you see the spinning gear.
At Installer level...... DO NOT CONTINUE
At top left, use 'Utilities' Menu for Tiger or later and go 'Disk Utility'
Select your HD volume with Operating system on...
Select First Aid tab then select Repair Hard Disk button
If "RED" errors are repaired, run again, until none are reported then +run again+ just to be sure you are OK
Do NOT continue with the Installer... QUIT the Installer and return to the Finder ......... Eject the Disc
RESTART ..... Repair Disk Permissions .... AGAIN!
Try the above stuff first .... if that doesn't help, we will get into the "RESETS" steps next!

CD-rw/DVD rom drive problem

I am using IBM T43 type 1871 laptop. The problem is with my CD drive. It automatically ejects out every time it wants to.
The same won't happen if I put some CD in the drive. But the CD won't play properly as the system shows the autoplay often and in "my computer " the drive is shown blank for some time and after the autoplay the CD name would be given...
Is it the problem with software or hardware???
Can it be solved if I buy a new DVD drive or use an external??
Now I've removed the drive in order to evade this problem...
Please help me???

Hello,
I am assuming your ThinkPad T43 has a DVD±RW disc drive. Is that correct?
If so, can it read stamped (manufactured) CDs and DVDs? If it can, than the problem may be with reading the recordable CDs or DVDs that you are using. If not, than the problem could be a software one (i.e., related to the operating system) or a hardware one.
If you have a bootable CD or DVD, try configuring the ThinkPad to first boot from the DVD drive, and then attempt to boot from the disc. If that works, than you are likely dealing with a software problem. If the ThinkPad doesn't recognize the disc even at bootup, then the problem is likely with the DVD drive and it will need to be replaced.

DVD-ROM Unit problem

If I try to load a DVD disc it'll only make some loud breath voice which falls after 2 seconds and it periodically repeats until I take out the disc. Here's the information I found in msinfo32 (I translate it from my motherlanguage to english so it's probably not 100% correct):
Unit F:
Description Unit CD-ROM
Medium Loaded No
Medium Type DVD Writer
Name hp DVD RW AD-7721H
Manufacturer (Standard unit CD-ROM)
State OK
Transmission rate -1.00 kB/s
Target ID device SCSI 1
ID device PNP IDE\CDROMHP_DVD_RW_AD-7721H______________________1.80____\4&3A93AF2C&0&0.1.0
Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys (6.1.7601.17514, 144,00 kB (147 456 bajtů), 18.8.2012 17:12)
Could you please tell me if it's a software disruption or the DVD ROM is simply damaged.

Hi,
The first thing I'd suggest is to eject the drive tray and use a soft material like cotton to gently clean the lens.
Check if this has made any difference.
If not, try the automated fixit from Microsoft on the link below.
Windows 7
Vista
Check if the drive is now working.
If it still doesn't work, click the Start Menu, open All Programs, open Accessories, right click the Command Prompt and select 'Run as Administrator'. In to the prompt type the following command and hit enter.
sfc /scannow ( note that there is a space between sfc and the / )
Let the process complete, then type exit and hit enter.
Next, click the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and click on Device Manager. Next click to open DVD/CD-ROM Drives. Right click the drive and select uninstall. Do not delete drivers if asked. When the device has uninstalled click on the 'Scan for Hardware Changes' icon ( usually just below Help on the toolbar ). Let windows reinstall the drive and see if it now works.
Regards,
DP-K

Mac Pro Restart and Hardware Test Problems

This appears to be a continuation of a thread I began titled "MacPro Restart or Reboot Problems" in which the reboot problem still seems to be evident.
Initially, I was having problems with rebooting but after rebuilding my directory with DiskWarrior, the issue disappeared. Then recently, I entered my password and the Mac restarted itself and the same problem is back where the drive seems to try and "catch" but can't.  And now its back to  happen anytime I want to re-boot (however, this tends to be rare.)
So I ran DiskWarrior again and it reported no problems. Then I tried to run Apple Hardware Test and about 40 seconds into the test, with the message "Testing memory" stated, the fans begin to spin at a high pitch.  The system locks up and the only recourse is to press the on/off button on the front of the Mac Pro.  If I try to wait it out, the Mac Pro will scream and spin until I restart.
I've ran the same AHT test on an identical Mac Pro that is only a few months older than this one and even using the Extended test, the AHT takes a little over four minutes.  And the Testing Memory message appears early in the test  and moves on.  Then, much later in the test, the fans spin up to the same high pitch whine like the problem Mac Pro.  But only one at a time (there seem to be three of them) and each one quickly quiets down once they're tested.
So that's the beef. Something I've considered is this Mac Pro came with two Gigs of Apple memory installed. I'm wondering should I uninstall one of them and re-try the AHT to see if it could be the memory.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks!

I took my G5 to an Apple Store (2 hrs away) and had a Mac Genius look at it. I told him about the reboot issue and the weird skippy sound it made when it tries to reboot. When I mentioned about the G5 locking up during an AHT, he thought that sounded like a hard ware issue. So he ran a diagnostic test with his Apple CD and the G5 tested fine (?!!) We then ran my original AHT disc that I had brought with me. It too tested fine-- it didn't lock up at all! We rebooted like a half a dozen times-- with both keyboard and via the menu-- and it rebooted like a champ. Everything we tried, the G5 rebooted fine. I asked if maybe the keyboard, mouse or monitor back in my office could be part of the the issue. He replied anything connected to the G5 could be a culprit.
So I brought it back and hooked it all back up. And it would not reboot! It tries to reboot and makes the same sound, same problem! I disconnected and replaced cables and keyboards and mice. No dice. I took the G5 down to an edit bay where we have an identical G5 (same 2 GB of memory, maybe 3 months older) and connected its power cable, mouse, keyboard and Cinema Display monitor to my G5 and tried it. No reboot, same problem. I reconnected the older G5 back to its original cables/setting and it reboots-- no problems.
I'm at a loss. I guess I will go about doing a zero drive process and see what that brings... However, one thing I have seemed to confirm: the skippy sound that continously emunates from the G5 as it attempts to reboot seems to be coming from one of the optical drives (the G5 came with two DVD optical drives). I'm wondering if I go in and disconnect the optical drive(s), will that lead to something??
BTW, I did hook up the G5 to another monitor, thinking that maybe it could be a graphics card or monitor issue with the original display. I used a PC monitor with a DVI connector and the problem was still there.
