DVD quality is really poor.

I am new in FCPX. I finished my project and export it as DVD. I also export it as H.264 and even Uncompress then Burn it as DVD. In all cases the quality of DVD is really poor. what should I do for better quality?

Are you editing in Proxy mode by any chance?
If you are, then unless you change to "Optimised or Original" in the dropdown menu at the top right of the Viewer, then Proxy quality is what will be exported.

  • "DVD quality" rentals really DVD quality?

    During the "Stevenote" yesterday, Mr. Jobs indicated movie rentals would be DVD quality. Of course, some titles will be in HD, but for this question I am not concerned about that.
    For those of you who have been able to rent movies, in your opinion are the movies true DVD quality? Or did he leave out the "near" prefix?
    I bought a couple movies quite a while ago on iTunes, but there were noticeable artifacts, so I haven't purchased any since.

    Well, I'll be. You are exactly right John. I just saw the Macworld article:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/131580/2008/01/itunesmovierentals.html
    The article quotes Apple VP Greg Joswiak (the obvious love child of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak) as saying the standard definition movies downloaded on the AppleTV are actually better than those downloaded onto computers (DVD quality versus near-DVD quality).

  • Improve/extend equalizer and add 3D sound. Sound quality really poor.

    I've been using the 2g nano for a while now and i must say the audio quality is really poor if compared with my 3 year old iRiver (which only has 256mb memory). Lots of people keep saying how great the sound quality is but i believe people saysing that just dont know any better. For those who do hear the difference the only satisfaction is the storage capacity.
    The Equalizer is a big shock. People (even Apple fans) say its best to leave it off for improvement. Why ? because turned on the music gets heavily distorted. People even blame their earbuds. So people go off and buy a €40 earbud just for that extra bit of improvement which the nano should already provide with the nano itself.
    So this is what should be done :
    - improve overall sound quality
    - add custom equalizer
    - add Xtreme 3D sound (= is a really big ++ iRiver users understand)

  • Really poor image quality when watching DVDs

    Hi,
    I was just wondering whether anybody else has experienced really poor image quality whilst watching DVDs on their MacBook? For me, the image is really grainy or blurry. I am pretty sure it cannot be the DVDs as this problem is happening with every film I watch!
    Is this a common problem? What can be done (if anything) to resolve this?
    Many thanks,
    John

    Hi John,
    open system preference>display, and check if your color depth is in millions color.
    try other dvd player like VLC for mac:

  • DVD quality poor.

      Created a project in Encore with a MP4 file. DVD quality very poor. Very pixilated.  Tried multiple settings. Bitrate etc...   Did same project in FCP, 100% clearer.

    Thank you again…
    What codec is the camera quicktime please? a MOV file is a container, and the source in it could be nigh on anything from AVCHD (unsuitable for editing), Long GOP MPEG, lossless, and anywhere in between.
    Besdt approach (in addition to the excellent advice from SafeHarbour) is to import into Premiere and create a new sequence from the clip - this will make sure the sequence settings match the source - and then output (at least this is how I would do it) to an interim SD file first rather than scaling & data reducing at the same time. Use at least an 8-bit file, and I recommend the Aja 2VUY codec.
    As to why the difference in the onscreen monitors - are they set up right? I got bitten by this one once, and it turned out the in the hamburger settings (the funny little icon for settings on top right of panel) was set to automatic draft quality......
    The biggest problem really is the source - why 1080i please? Will the camera not shoot 1080p?

  • Why is DVD quality as poor as imovie09?

    I've been using imovieHD 5.x for years. I never bothered to upgrade to 6.x. I recently purchased a new intel imac and FCE 4.x along with imovie09.
    Most of my video has motion and either I see artifacts or jagged rendering of the clips. My camera is a Canon Vixia HV30 so my source video should be fine. I would love to get FCE to be my editing program of choice but for some reason, the quality was as poor as the imovie09 quality.
    Here are the methods I've tried with results.
    1] final cut express 4.x > iDVD
    Exported both contained and not-contained quicktime. (Didn't see any extensive options for export settings)
    Imported video from camcorder via "Capture" in FCE
    Burned BP and PQ and didn't seem to make much difference
    rather poor quality
    2] imovie09 > iDVD
    Exported directly to iDVD which I read is not the way to go...
    Burned both Best Performance and Pro Quality
    rather poor quality
    3] imovieHD 5 > iDVD
    Dragged imovie project file into iDVD project
    Burned BP
    seems to be the best quality so far...
    Final Notes:
    I'm watching the DVDs on a 41" LCD Samsung.
    I understand and am NOT expecting HD quality but as an experienced designer, I know when things have been compressed too much. That's what it looks like with my tests. There is a ton of data in these video clips and it seems like it's being tossed away.
    Please help...

    I discovered the instability problem when I bought an HV20 eighteen months ago.
    I spent months testing and it appears there is a problem when HDV is made into standard def DVDs in iDVD using QuickTime Movie.
    I eventually discovered a couple of workarounds that produce (almost) perfect results.
    Both these methods may sound incredibly complex as you read them but they are really quite simple. The only problem is that the first method takes a long time to render.
    1. Edit your HDV/AIC in the timeline. Then create a new DV-PAL (NTSC) Anamorphic sequence. Copy your edited HDV/AIC to the new sequence. Do not alter anything. Render the sequence ..... this will take a long time - up to twice the length of the project. Then File>Export>QuickTime Movie (Not Self-contained).
    However, if you use the QT Movie in iDVD you will get a squashed 4:3 movie, so first of all you must make QT stretch it out to its proper 16:9 dimensions like this:-
    a. Open the exported movie file in the QT Pro player.
    b. Go to Window>Show Movie Properties.
    c. Select the "Video Track" and in the "Visual Settings" panel uncheck "Preserve Aspect Ratio".
    d. In the "Scaled Size" box set the width to 1024 pixels for PAL.
    e. The "Video Track" will have turned grey, so click it to make it blue again.
    f. The opened movie file will jump to 16:9.
    g. Close it with the red button and click Save.
    2. This method is fast. Set your HV20 to "Locked DV" which means that FCE/FCP will capture it as anamorphic DV and edit it as standard definition anamorphic DV. (Use Easy Setup ... DV-PAL (NTSC) Anamorphic).
    You can then Export>QuickTime Movie to be used in iDVD and use the stretching technique mentioned above.

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

  • Poor dvd quality in idvd 09 avchd

    My cam is Sony sr12e which is avchd format, when I edit in iMovie 09, it is fine, and I export it using AIC code with as quicktime mov(since many suggested here that it is better than directly share the mov to idvd). Then drag it to idvd but the quality is still poor.The resulting movie looks like water is pouring down walls and people in still shots mouths move as if they were taking. Lots of movement in horizontal lines. Anyway to solve the problem, I can't believe all mac users are experiencing this terrible bug made by Apple.

    I can't believe all mac users are experiencing this terrible bug made by Apple.
    It's no bug.
    iMovie 09 is a wonderful program assuming that you're using it for what it was designed to do, assemble simple videos to share on the Internet.
    I did a compare one day using the same clip burned to DVD from iMovie 06 and from iMovie '09.
    The iMovie 06 clip looked like it came from the camera directly and the iMovie 09 clip looked worse. The difference is the single field processing used by iMovie 09 and the fact that it throws out every other horizontal line.
    iMovie 06 and iDVD 09 is a "lossless" combination and my DVD's look perfect!

  • When I burn a dvd, it's really bad quality in black & white

    When I burn a dvd, it's really bad quality in black & white.

    What program are you using to burn the DVD? What is the original DVD content (another DVD disk or movie files -- what's their format?)?

  • 90min best quality DVD?  still too poor

    I have a 68min 1080 apple pro res file to burn onto a DVD.  The file, as is, looks like great quality.  Little motion to the video..just someone on stage.  When I dump it into compressor (using the auto mpeg2 settings for best quality 90min) and then bring it into DVDSP...the quality looks pretty poor.  The text especially.  How can I improve upon this quality?  Thanks in advance!

    Heather,
    The clips do match the sequence and it is apparently interlaced, with field dominance read as upper. Not ideal, but no reason why you not have decent text.
    I agree that sending from FCP shouldn't hurt quality; it may even help. It's just slower and you don't get a fully rendered master.
    Some fonts are problematic – particularly for interlaced. If possible avoid busy font designs – including those with serifs. Drop shadows are pretty much a requirement – regardless of the font choice. Finally, the native text tools in FCP are not as good a Boris (which you can access from the FCP generator button or in Motion. (FWIW, my preference is to put a slug on the timeline and send that to Motion. Create my text in Motion, save and round trip back to FCP.)
    What I'd suggest, mark a short section that includes your text and send that to Compressor. Open frame controls (which should be on already) and click on the gear icon so you can change the resize filter from better to best.
    DOn't be concerned about the pixel shape. Compressor changes that from square to fit a 16:9 image into a 4:3 frame.
    In DVD Studio Pro, verify in your preferences>general that SD DVD menus, tracks and slideshows display mode is set 16:9 letterbox. Create a new test project and import your new test file. Format, waste a disk and see what effect changing the setting made.
    Let us know what you find out.
    Good luck.

  • DVD Player: Poor tolerance to less-than-ideal DVD quality?

    "Real world" DVDs from rental stores have surface scratches, fact of life AFAIK most DVD players handle most of these fine. (With the odd exception, naturally.) I have had 6 consecutive DVDs that "broken down" on being played using Tiger's DVD Player (10.3.9). At first I blamed the DVD quality, but now I suspect I should be blaming Apple's software for not handling "real world" standards--?
    Its a bit hard to believe 6 in a row are faulty, or the store would be getting a rain of abuse. Currently, I'm getting more more DVDs that "break down" than that play right through...
    I'd welcome other's experiences: is "normal" for Apple's DVD Player? Do "set top" DVD players perform better? If so, why? Etc, etc.
    Basically, I'd like to get the low-down on what's up. I'm thorougly sick of finding my movies "stall" on me, it makes the whole thing pointless after all.

    While I could try a cleaner, I'm doubtful that this is the problem: the stalls occur in essentially the same places on replaying the DVD, even after ejecting and re-starting the movie. I would have thought a dirty lens would show a more random pattern of issues--?
    (Excuse the very slow reply: I've been trying over a couple of days to post when Apple's forum is actually working for me!)

  • DVD quality lower than expected

    I’m trialling Premiere Elements 11 with a view to purchasing it to allow my Dad to easily edit video from his new camcorder.  The importing and editing work great.  (We are importing .m2ts in full HD from a Panasonic camcorder.)
    However when we come to burn the DVD the quality is very poor, pretty much looks like a VHS!
    We have got better quality by burning the same footage to DVD using the Panasonic own software (but it is difficult for my dad to use).
    I have checked:
    Project settings are correct (1920x1080)
    We have rendered it with the preview render button before burning
    We’re in the UK so selecting PAL-widescreen output on the DVD burning stage
    We were only testing it with 10 mins footage, so no problem with length reducing quality
    Would love to be able to fix this as the Premiere Elements 11 would be great for my dad in all other respects!  Any ideas? Thanks!

    I have the same software and a Panasonic camcorder. 
    To get high picture quality you have to stop making DVDs. 
    The very best quality will come from setting the camcorder to 1080p50.  The files will be big.  Both HDWriter (that comes with Panasonic camcorders) and PrE11 can use that level.  It is also the best setting for action sports.
    You did not say what you are using for a DVD player or what sort of TV or other viewing device you want to use.
    If you want to play it in high definition you need to get it to a high definition screen some way without degrading it in a DVD player.  Get a Blu-Ray Player, a media player like a WD TV Live or plug your computer into your HD TV with an HDMI cord.
    With a Blu-Ray player you can have both of your editors make a thing called an AVCHD disk.  It looks like a DVD, uses DVD disks, but it is not a DVD.  It makes a 1080i version of your footage on an ordinary, cheap DVD in and ordinary DVD burner.  The disk will play on most Blu-Ray players as it is part of the Sony/Panasonic AVCHD standard.  Because you can only put about 4 GB on a DVD, your videos are limited to no more than 20 or 30 minutes.  If you want more, move up to a Blu-Ray burner and use the more expensive disks.  Most current BD players have a USB port.  Panasonics have a SD card reader.  Use either editor and make high definition "computer" files and get them on a memory stick or SD card and they should play.  I have a Sony BD player that will even play high def video files directly off of a DVD, but only if the DVD was used as a data disk.  The idea is that you copy your video to the DVD like you were backing up data files.  The Sony BD player recognizes it as a playable file and sends it to the TV.
    The WD TV Live media player is a small box that costs about $90 in the US.  It is famous for being really good at playing every video file format, has a remote and a menu system.  It will play anything you make with either editor.
    The last way is to connect your laptop to your TV or monitor with an HDMI cable. I have a cheap 15 footer.  Anything I play on my laptop is duplicated on my 55 inch TV. 
    There is one other alternative is to use the Panasonic camcorder as media player.  You have to use HDWriter to move files to your computer for this.  One of it's odd benefits is being able to move file, include edited ones, BACK to the camcorder so you can us it as a HD media player.
    This stuff is confusing and it took me six months to figure it out after I bought my Panasonic camcorder.  If I can help further, please ask.

  • Dvd quality problems

    Hi,
    I really need some help with this. Spent a very long time editing up a 12 minute movie in iMovie HD. I exported two versions one to as a full quality quicktime .dv file (back up) and one to iDVD. My problem is really poor playback quality in the final burnt dvd particularly titles. I noticed other posts on this and have tried the drag and drop option, the control click shared movies drag and drop and importing quicktime movie, but the problem persists. When I originally exported to iDVD I did click ''ok' to render for iDVD in iMovie ? could that be something? Get perfect playback in iMovie preview and iDVD preview.
    The titles I am using are the video terminal, white, courier font.
    I would really appreciate some tips on this as I've spent way to long putting this together and have deadline to meet.
    Many thanks in anticipation !

    Sue,
    My monitor is an Apple 20" cin. display and it is on this that I have been viewing the dvd. Not tried on a tv yet, as my dvd player (playstation) doesn't play the dvds. The person I made the movie for is trying it out on dvd player/tv set tomorrow so guess I'll find out from their reaction !
    It does actually look ok when playing in a window about a quarter of the size on my monitor.
    Having tried a few test disk images using various methods of iMovie export, iMovie file drag and drop and quicktime export (see earlier post) followed by drag and drop and found that the quicktime .mov version produced the best quality text for me.
    Regards

  • DVD quality

    Sorry for my  poor english.
    I 've  made a 94 minutes imovie (ilife 11) project with my brand new retina.
    But when I make a dvd from idvd of the imovie project, I get a bad quality film (worse than before with the old imovie).
    I try to save the project for a double layer dvd to avoid compression but I get the same bad quality.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    There are many layers to this Question - May be You find help here
    DVD quality  
    1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1) and 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
    Menu can take 15 minutes or even more - I use a very simple one with no audio or animation like ”Brushed Metal” in old Themes.
    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 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 interlaced Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
    deliver anything better that this.
    • iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - CAN NOT DELIVER THIS any way know - as they all discard every second line when going from Event's to Project's = Can not be mended.
    • iMovie HD6 - Can deliver 100% of what any DVD authoring program needs - and so can -
    • FinalCut - any version
    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 this to work I
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk
    • Use Verbatim DVD-R (absolutely no +/-RW)
    • Set down burn speed to x4 - less burn errors = plays on more devices
    • No other process running in background as - ScreenSaver, EnergySaver OR TIMEMACHINE etc
    • and I'm very careful on what kind of video-codecs, audio file format and photo file formats I use
    • and I consider the iDVD Bug - never go back to video-editor to change/up-date - if so Start  a brand new iDVD project
    • Chapters set as they should - NO one at very beginning and no one in any transition or within 2 sec from it
    • Lay-out - Turn on TV-Safe area and keep everything buttons, titles etc WELL INSIDE not even touching it !
    Try to break the process up into two stages
    • Save as a DiskImage (calculating part)
    • Burn from this .img file (burning stage)
    To isolate where the problem starts.
    Another thing is - Playing it onto a Blu-Ray Player. My PlayStation3 can play BD-disks but not all of my home made DVDs so to get this to work I

    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
    • No File Vault on - Important
    • NO - TimeMachine - during iMovie/iDVD work either ! IMPORTANT
    • Lot's of icons on DeskTop/Finder also slows down the Mac noticeably
    • Start a new User-Account and log into this and iMovie get's faster too - if a project is in a hurry
    • And let Mac run on Mains - not just on battery

    Im having a problem with the dvd quality, I'm using compressor to convert the video fils from apple prores to mpeg2 .It doesn't matter how long my video is even if its just 5 minutes  I'm getting cut edges/lines  in the video specialy if i have titles it comes up really bad , I took the same video to a friend of mine who have PC and he uses Encore , did the encoding there and it was just fine no problems! BTW I tried using doferent setings in compressor from CBR and VBR I even pushed up the setings to 8 or 9 BR and still no luck !
    does anyone have any idea ?
    Thanks in advence ...

    Let's focus attention on just the Sony. (What model and what resolution are you shooting?)
    For now, I'll assume you're shooting 1080i.
    Take a representaive clip  into a new sequence. Add a title.
    In your sequence, make sure field dominance is set to Upper.
    Set render settings to Pro Res 422.
    After rendering, export QT self contained.
    Import into Compressor (I'm now referring to v3.5).
    Select the 90 minute Best quality DVD preset.
    Open frame controls and turn on (click the gear icon). Set Resize filter to Best.
    Submit burn and check quality on TV.
    Good luck.
