Firewire producing poor videos with comcast dvr.

This is a strange one. I've done extensive research on this subject and cant find a solution. Anyways I've been using my macbook to hook up to my comcast dvr(a motorola DCT6416 phase III) via firewire to record videos I had on the dvr to free up space. I'm using apples firewire developer 23 tools with AVCVideoCap more specifically which takes whats playing off the dvr and converts it to an mpeg2-ts file.
Everything has been going fine until recently. Previously I had transfered about 4 episodes of the same show over the past 6 days of which is on an analog in the clear station. Now all of a sudden If I copy a video using AVCVideoCap I get an end result of a video full of pixelation, sound chirping, artifacts etc. It doesn't matter what i capture off the box live programing or not and regardless of the station its on. I always get the same results.
Thinking it was the firewire cable I since replaced that with a known good one. Still getting the same results as well.
Does anyone have any ideas why I might be getting bad video quality when i was previously working the a few days before? Anyone else here use a mac with the motorola dvr's? does it work for you and if so what version of the developer kit are you using? 23?
Could it also be that my macbook has a bad firewire port? I hope not as I've already had the logic board replaced 3 times in under a year.

actualy its fine on the dvr itself or live. I tried to use a pc desktop thats in the house to hook up to it and test but I couldnt get the drivers/patches to work at all with xp. Was one major pita. Thats yet one more reason why I love the mac
Anyways I'm thinking I might have figured it out too. Last night I tried something for the heck of it. Going against all the guides for my dvr I turned my macbok on first instead of after the cable box. It seemed to have worked this way as I've done it twice now successfully copying video last night and this morning of the box. Seems odd that having the DVR on first would cause a problem but my guess is maybe its some sort of a handshake issue over firewire or a recent software bug on the box itself.
Hopefully it will continue to work
Thanks for the response

  • IMovie producing scrambled video with ken Burns effect

    I was creating a movie with stills from iPhoto. The first 3 photos are using the Ken Burns effect just fine. Anything after that is absolutely unrecognizable. It looks like a scrambled mess of what is on my screen. I can actually see my Dock in the video. This is really strange. It occurs with photos I've edited and with ones I haven't. I have the latest version of Quicktime (7.0.4), iMovie (6.02) and iPhoto (6.0.4) as well as Tiger.
    I've never had this problem before. As long as I don't use the Ken Burns effect I'm fine.

    Hi Appleman1958
    Thanks for the advise. I'll give it a try when I get home tonight. Went nuts last night looking for a way
    to do it. Didn't want to do them one at a time or delete it and start over. Any idea why the pictures
    are not nearly as sharp when I burn to a disc on iDVD. as they are when viewed on iMovie or Aperture?
    Thanks Again,

  • I produced a video with my iphone. The file is about 800 mb. Several times I tried to download it to my computer but this did not work! how can I solve this problem?

    how can I download my video from the iphone to my computer?

    When you connect your iPhone to your PC, a pop-up box should open saying something like "What would you like to do?" and click import videos and photos. If it doesn't open automatically, go to Start>Computer>Then highlight your iPhone by clicking it once>Then on the tool bar about, near the navigation buttons and search box, click Autoplay (or something like that).
    Sorry if my answer isn't as sharp as it should be, I switched to Mac and I use iPhoto for everything.

  • EyeTV DVR with comcast digital cable and appletv

    I use an eyeTV Hybrid to record video from Comcast's analog cable signal onto my iMac 5,1 which then syncs with an Apple TV to view the recorded content. The entire system functions as a distributed DVR if you will.
    I have been using the setup for a couple years now and everything works great. The problem is that Comcast, in an effort to free up bandwidth, will be switching the vast majority of their analog content to digital. In order for me to continue using the eyeTV, I will now have to resort to a Comcast digital box which comes with its own remote effectively rendering the eyeTV scheduler useless. Comcast tech support is clueless about my setup and doesn't have any solutions so I was wondering if anyone out there is successfully using a digital cable box to receive signal to a tv adapter like eyeTV and is able to schedule recordings.
    Thanks in advance.

    No, but I did find a solution, although a cumbersome one. I had to get a ZephIR widget to act as a computer controlled remote for Comcast's digital converter. The ZephIR then had to be programmed for the converter's code and EyeTV had to be configured to work with the set top box via the ZephIR remote configuration. The Comcast device and ZephIR need to see eye-to-eye in order for this to work. I haven't set this up permanently yet but have verified that it works. No changes on the AppleTV. It's oblivious to these changes since all it cares about is content from the EyeTV.

  • Poor quality image with doing videos with photos/images HELP!

    Hello,
    I bought Adobe Premiere Element to make videos with pictures. When I do the video, the quality of my photos is good. When I save the video on my computer or I download it on youtube (example) the quality of my photos is extremely poor. Why? Does anyone can help me? Thank you!

    What Project Preset did you choose at New Project? In the case of Video, composed of Still Images ONLY, you would set that to your desired delivery specs. Not so, if you are also using Video.  I tried several types of parameters. Some parameters give poor quality when I upload it to Youtube (for example) and others in the design of video and upload to YouTube. So which settings should I use for photos only ?
    This sounds like you are talking about the Export/Share settings for output to YouTube.
    What I was asking is what did you start off with, when you were at New Project?
    If you are doing an SD Project, you will have either 720 x 480 (NTSC), or 720 x 576 (PAL) pixels in the Project's Frame Size. If that is what you want, then I would Scale your camera original Stills to 640 x 480 (for NTSC), as you have Square Pixels, and the Project will have either 0.9 for NTSC Standard, or 1.21 for NTSC Widescreen).
    PrE can Scale the Still Images, but the Scaling algorithms in Photoshop are much better, and offer more control.
    Now, if you wish to do an HD Project, just choose that as your Preset, and then use the Images in about their original size. Note, there will be some black borders, as the screen-caps most likely have a different Aspect Ratio, than a Video Project, which for HD will be 16:9. Especially with screen-caps, that are pretty low resolution to begin with, I would NOT do any Scaling, and would live with the letterboxing, or pillar boxing, rather than Scale and effectively Crop.
    Also, when Scaling in Photoshop, I do not Save_As JPEG, as it introduces compression, but only as either PSD (Photoshop's native format), or PNG.
    Good luck,

  • How to Produce AC3 audio with video to play surround sound  5.1 on an AppleTV

    I have produced a short video with a SONY video camera that records AVCHD in AC3 surround 5.1.
    When I edit it in FCP I can see the six channels both beside the time code and to the right of the time line.
    When I go to share the video to my iTunes library, it indicates that the output will be stereo or two channel.
    I have also tried this in COMPRESSOR and selected the various Apple settings. These too only produce stereo out put.
    Can anyone suggest what might be preventing the AC3 output?
    Thanks
    Barry

    I think that you are out of luck as the table shows on page 62 of your manual at http://www.docs.sony.com/release/BDPS350_US.pdf
    Note 1 on this table says "When Audio Output Priority is set to stereo analog, LPCM 2ch signals are output from each jack.  I would check this setting.  I would also check out notes 2 and 4.  According to their own table, the player should output bitstream in 5.1 D or DTS.
    Out on http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1046952&page=3 it appears that another person is having the same issue and someone recommended this:
    Double check the following settings:
    Audio Output Priority: HDMI
    Audio HDMI: Auto
    BD Audio Setting: Direct
    Audio ATT: Off
    Dolby Digital: Dolby Digital
    DTS: DTS
    Audio DRC: Standard
    Hope this helps....

  • Poor video playback with Windows XP

    Hi all,
    I am trying to play TV shows that bought from the ITMS (Xena & Star Trek remixed originals). I seem to be getting poor video playback performance. The video is briefly freezing and skipping. The frame rate is also not very good.
    System specs:
    2.6GHz P4 with hyperthreading enabled
    2GB RAM
    Matrox Parhelia 128 video card (latest drivers and firmware)
    Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum
    WinXP Pro SP2 + latest hotfixes
    iTunes 7.2
    I bought my first TV show after upgrading to iTunes 7.2 so I can't compare performance with v7.1 or earlier. I've tried playing the videos from a local IDE (D:, 60GB free out of 120GB) and from my 1TB Buffalo Terastation (RAID 5, 750GB). The performance is the same. The CPU activity varies from 75% to 95% CPU usage while playing the videos.
    Even though my Matrox Parhelia is 3 years old it is still one of Matrox's top performance video cards and does excelent 2D and pretty good 3D.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Steven

    You're leaping to a conclusion that isn't supported by any facts. Just because you are having a problem is not an indictment of Safari 4. I'm having no trouble, nor are millions of other users, so that destroys your thesis. The problem is something that was a pre-existing condition on your Mac.
    Did either of you Repair Disk Permission before and after installing it? If not, start with that. Do you have the most recent version of Flash installed? If not, download the Flash uninstaller from the Adobe web site, then the lastest Flash installer and run those, then restart Safari and test it on some video.

  • Firewire Output for Video Preview Intermittent

    I'm experiencing a frustrating problem with After Effects these days.
    We're producing some video to be projected, so to see what the final output will really look like, I'm doing video previews using FireWire so output goes directly to the projector. 
    It's been working great up until yesterday.  Was working fine until I had to restart my Mac.  Upon reboot, my the projector no longer gets any video output.
    I've tried restarting numerous times, checked all connections, etc.  Got it working again after several restarts, but after switching over to Photoshop momentarily, the video output once again disappeared.
    Any suggestions on how to regain consistent Firewire output for Video Previews?
    My setup:
    After Effects CS6
    Mac Pro
    OSX Version 10.7.5
    Firewire Output of my Mac's monitor is going to the Firewire Input on my Sony Media Converter
    RCA Video out (Composite video) going to the projector's video input.
    After Effects Video Preview preferences:
    Output Device:  FireWire
    Output Mode: Apple FireWire NTSC

    Thanks for your reply, Rick.
    I finally figured it out... I had a background application running called iCam that monitors my security cameras.  I had forgotten that it uses Firewire and was intermittently hogging the resources.  Once I quit that application, everything was good once again.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated!

  • Poor Performance with Fairpoint DSL

    I started using Verizon DSL for my internet connection and had no problems. When Fairpoint Communications purchased Verizon (this is in Vermont), they took over the DSL (about May 2009). Since then, I have had very poor performance with all applications as soon as I start a browser. The performance problems occur regardless of the browser - I've tried Firefox (3.5.4), Safari (4.0.3) and Opera (10.0). I've been around and around with Fairpoint for 6 months with no resolution. I have not changed any software or hardware on my Mac during that time, except for updating the browsers and Apple updates to the OS, iTunes, etc. The performance problems continued right through these updates. I've run tests to check my internet speed and get times of 2.76Mbps (download) and 0.58Mbps (upload) which are within the specified limits for the DSL service. My Mac is a 2GHz PowerPC G5 runnning OSX 10.4.11. It has 512MB DDR SDRAM. I use a Westell Model 6100 modem for the DSL provided by Verizon.
    Some of the specific problems I see are:
    1. very long waits of more than a minute after a click on an item in the menu bar
    2. very long waits of more than two minutes after a click on an item on a browser page
    3. frequent pinwheels in response to a click on a menu item/browser page item
    4. frequent pinwheels if I just move the mouse without a click
    5. frequent messages for stopped/unresponsive scripts
    6. videos (like YouTube) stop frequently for no reason; after several minutes, I'll get a little audio but no new video; eventually after several more minutes it will get going again (both video and audio)
    7. response in non-browser applications is also very slow
    8. sometimes will get no response at all to a mouse click
    9. trying to run more than one browser at a time will bring the Mac to its knees
    10. browser pages frequently take several minutes to load
    These are just some of the problems I have.
    These problems all go away and everything runs fine as soon as I stop the browser. If I start the browser, they immediately surface again. I've trying clearing the cache, etc with no improvements.
    What I would like to do is find a way to determine if the problem is in my Mac or with the Fairpoint service. Since I had no problems with Verizon and have made no changes to my Mac, I really suspect the problem lies with Fairpoint. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

    1) Another thing that you could try it is deleting the preference files for networking. Mac OS will regenerate these files. You would then need to reconfigure your network settings.
    The list of files comes from Mac OS X 10.4.

    2) I think it is time to do a clean install of your system.
    3) It's either the software or an intermittent hardware problem.
    If money isn't an issue, I suggest an external harddrive for re-installing Mac OS.
    You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer.
    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    The latest the hard drive enclosures support the newer serial ata drives. The drive and closure that I list supports only older parallel ata.
    Has everything interface:
    FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
    save a little money interface:
    FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
    This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

    Here is what one contributor recommended:

    Folks in these Mac forums recommend LaCie, OWC or G-Tech.
    Here is a list of recommended drives:

    FireWire compared to USB. You will find that FireWire 400 is faster than USB 2.0 when used for a external harddrive connection.

  • Premiere elements 12: how 2 burn video with menu on avchd disk with 1280x720

    Hi, I have a source HD video (from TV) in resolution 1280x720/50. In export presets for avchd disk I only can find presets for 1440x1080 and 1920x1080. I'd like to export this video with menus in 1280x720 which is original resolution to AVCHD disk.
    How to handle?
    Regards, Juergen

    Juegen
    No version of Premiere Elements lets you produce a DVD disc with or without menus with AVCHD format of 1280 x 720 at 50 progressive frames per second.
    The burn to disc, DVD, AVCHD, and Blu-ray are offered as you found them.
    You could burn your Premiere Elements 12 Timeline content to a file AVCHD.mp4 (720p50) via Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = MP4 - HD 720p50. And, then burn that file to a DVD disc as data disc if the disc capacity allowed. But you would not have any menus. Disc menus are offered only for burn to disc/burn to folder. And, important, stop markers do not function at playback of the Premiere Elements (any version) AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc.
    Please let us know if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • IChat AV problems with Comcast as ISP

    I've been a user of iChat AV for several years, and in the past 6-8 months it's stopped working as well as it used to. I routinely used it to connect from California to Florida and Indiana, and now I get about one minute or less of decent audio and video in a session before one or both ends starte breaking up and freezing. I've complained to Comcast about this, and have even sent them netstat info showing what seems to be peering problems between them and AT&T (large steps up in hop times across that boundary, in both directions). All they've done about it is send techs to change all the cables in my house, which is nice but does not fix the problem. I seem to have good bandwidth - 6 to 10 Mbit/sec - and other internet functions are fine, but video chatting is miserable (audio-only chatting still works ok). Can anyone advise me how to handle this? It makes iChat AV unusable for video.

    I am having this EXACT same problem! I am able to iChat with my mother who still has DSL. But I can no longer successfully iChat with my brother and we both have Comcast broadband Internet with VoIP phone service. I either get several error messages such as "not enough Bandwidth" or it works for a minute and breaks up and pixelates.
    I have searched the Internet high and low for an answer. RalphUK has posted amazing and helpful amounts of information about how to resolve issues with iChat. I have followed ALL of them, including opening certain ports, testing my bandwidth several times a day (it's fine), changing Quicktime and iChat bandwith preferences to several things, trying to re-cycle my Airport and Comcast modem, calling Comcast to complain ( the customer service is absolutely clueless!). At this point, I don't know what to do except switch back to DSL and ditch my broadband Comcast Internet. I also think the residential VoIP with Comcast maybe part of the issue. I have also read that Tiger 10.4.10 has bugs in it that cause this issue.
    It is really aggravated that after years of being able to use iChat, now I cannot. Any help or info about Comcast's role in this would be helpful.
