Fixing Drop-Outs and NTSC PAL Conversion

Hi All,
I know there is a filter / Programme out there that can remove Beta Drop-Outs from bad video fields but the name escapes me. Also I need to find an excellent Pal to NTSC conversion software, this is for a broadcast programme so it MUST be a professional quality. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Broadband Dropping Out and Connection Speed Decrea...

    Sorry to be a pain but I am back here again.
    Since the last issue with speed, connection drop out and noisey line which required an underground cable to be partly replaced, all has been fantastic and no problem to report. Many thanks to those who were involved in helping with getting that issue resolved.
    About 10 days ago the broadband started to drop out at random times but not too often. The broadband hub light would go out for about 15 seconds before returning. My connection would automatically resume and no great problem. It has since become more of a problem and pain.
    The frequency of drop out increased with a sort of pattern. Last week an example would be drop out at 11:50 am, again at 12:40 and once more at 1:30 pm. Each time the connection returned my computer icon for wifi would be a warning triangle. I clicked on the icon and would get a message 'limited connection'. The only way I could connect again would be to click the icon and select to disconnect and then connect, making sure a 'tick' was in the box for autoconnection. A bit more of a pain than before but usable. It got more of a problem over the next few days.
    The frequency of drop out increased. This became a right pain when trying to purchase things online as I could not be sure in the purchase had been completed or if I tried again would I get two lots? Upon broadband connection returning I would not be able to 'auto connect' but would get the warning triangle of 'limited connection'. I tried the click to disconnect and reconnect but it failed to work. I ended up shutting down the laptop, waiting before powering up. This failed to work as all I would get is the warning triangle and 'limited connection'. The only way I could reconnect was to press the 'restart' button. This worked but it got worse.
    The next day the broadband connection would drop out every couple of hours. It got to the point that even pressing the 'restart' button would not allow me to connect. I tried three times and gave up. I had to resort to pressing the very small 'reset' button on the back. This cured the problem for about 12 hours before the drop outs started again.
    It is now a case of 50/50 if I can connect to the broadband again after a drop out. It is getting quite frustrating. I only used the small 'reset' as a last resort. I have noticed that the speed of the connection has started to drop down also.
    Each time the hub drops broadband and I can auto connect and do not press any hub button, the timer has reset to zero days and zero hours. I know it takes about a week for the connection to settle. I do wonder if these drop outs are messing the connection settings for my line speed? The line used to be rated at 21 Mbps but has decreased to 17 Mbps, my actual connection used to be 19 Mbps but struggles to reach 14 Mbps. It is slowly dropping with each and every drop out.
    I also looked at the event log in the hub. Just before each broadband drop out I see a external connection is made with the initials 'CWMP' followed by 'event code 1 boot' or 'event code 6 connection request' or 'event code 4 value change'. Straight after the broadband connection drops out with out fail.
    All I can seem to find out is that the external connection is either the hub connecting to the server or vice versa? As for the codes? I have no idea at all.
    I only ever resort to pressing 'restart' if I cannot connect to my hub. I have only pressed the 'reset' as a last resort as nothing else worked to allow me to reconnect.
    Can anyone offer any help or best a permanent fix?

    I connected to the test socket and used a wired connection for the speed test and hub stats.
    The hub position and run of cables are the same as when the last engineer advised as the best set up.
    Since my last post I have checked the event log and 'CWMP' has made at least two remote connections but the hub did not drop broadband connection. The broadband has been stable but just slower than usual, as you stated due to the drop outs/disconnections.
    I guess a case of wait and monitor to see if the problem has resolved itself?
    Will the speed automatically return to the usual 18 to 19 Mbps? or will something else have to be done to reset it at the exchange/server?
    Here are the hub stats from this morning.

  • Hi, my iPad 2 keeps dropping out and going back to blank screen, I then have to enter my password again, start downloading or reading and it happens again. I have reset the iPad but it is still the same.

    Hi, my iPad 2 keeps dropping out and going back to a blank screen. I have to again enter my password and go back to what I was doing and then it happens again, I have tried resetting and nothing has changed.
    Thanks
    Ron

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • CS3 exporting drop outs and red screen flashes when exporting via Media Encoder

    Hi forum
    I have been using Premiere Pro CS3 for a long time on my dual core PC with no issues.  Suddenly, I am now getting a major issue i MUST get sorted asap for a client is waiting for the final video.
    It is a HDV (1080i, 25fps) project/timeline.  An 8 minute video has been put together in this and every time I try to export as either MPEG2 (Blu Ray) or WMV, I am getting pixelation in certain places usually around certain cuts, or horrible red blocky pixels filling up the screen for a second or two. They seem to come always at the same point.  They don't happen when i render the timeline or show up when playing the edit itself in the timeline - just when i playback the exported video in premiere or in Windows Media Player.
    To try a workaround I exported the whole video as high quality MPEG2 (blu ray - 30mbps), which I brought into a new sequence, then I exported small sections where this problem was happening as Uncompressed Microsoft AVI and called them "patch 1", "patch 2" etc. and brought them back in and overlayed over where the problems were occuring.  The short Uncompressed AVI patches seem to have exported with no glitches, so theoretically I thought I had a clean good timeline in my new sequence made up of the MPEG 2 video overlayed in the dodgy places with uncompressed AVI "patches".  However, trying to export a new MPEG 2 master from this has created the same problems, in the same places!!! Still drop outs and still those horrid red flashes filling the screen.  Not always as bad, and some places where there were problems are ok, but I am still left with most of the problems still there.
    I am now trying to export the whole video as an AVI uncompessed but dont know if this will work and will take a very long time.
    I do have Saphire plugins, but they are not being used in this new sequence so therefore could that be a possible problem?  I thought perhaps it was the brightness/contrast filter etc so removed that from some of the problem areas, and it helped on some of them, but not on others, so not sure its anything to do with my plug in or filters.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks, James

    This topic is about a year old, but I thought I would reply because I just experienced this problem very recently and stumbled upon an easy solution.
    Problem: When using Adobe Media Encoder to create an HD or .m2v video file, a bright red screen will flash followed by a mashup of red blocks/pixels somewhere within the file you've just encoded. This phenomenon lasts for exactly 10 frames before clearing up.  Most likely, you won't see this problem until you import the encoded file into Adobe Encore.  It shows up on the timeline, the preview monitor and the DVD itself. It occurs on edits that the system reads as being corrupt or when a flash bulb goes off from a still camera.  Both instances make the encoding process go haywire.
    Solution: Encode your HD or .m2v file with CBR (1-pass) bitrate encoding rather than VBR (2-pass).  Don't worry about losing any quality in your video or creating unnecessarily large file sizes with your new renders. I guarantee you won't see much of a difference, if any.  I can't explain why this solution works.  It just does.
    Hope this helps you as much as it did me.

  • Help me!:audio keeps dropping out and coming back in while importing clips

    While importing from my camera (brand new Canon Xl-2) to imovie, the audio from the tape keeps dropping out and coming back in for some reason.This happens with all my tapes. I've tried using a head cleaner and that didn't help. I'm using a Maxtor external hard drive to save the project on. The project itself is kind of big (about 80 GB) Can imovie support projects that large? Could this be a problem with my processor?
    I'm just frustrated beyond belief right now. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    these our my specs: Processor: 800 mhz. Memory: 1GB SDRam. The disk space icon at the bottom of imovie says i have 151 GB of disk space left.

    Hi e
    With a slow computer one has to minimize the hassle.
    I would
    - repair permissions
    - cheque that nothing else is taking resourses from the job (energy saver,
    screensaver, File Vault etc.)
    - I would move material to my ext hd so that I got > 80Gb free (for a 80Gb
    project)
    - nothing else connected than my Mac + Camera and import.

  • When in googlemail firefox keeps connecting dropping out and reconnecting,and crashing.

    When in googlemail inbox, Firefox constantly keeps dropping out and reconnecting,(as seen in the tab) and often crashes when one is writing or sending a message.

    Try to start Firefox with the about:blank page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut and add a space and <b>-url "about:blank"</b> to the target field.
    Try to delete the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder to prevent restoring the crashed session.

  • Is there a solution to the Bluetooth dropping out and disappearing on Lion 10.7.5?

    Always drops out and disappears from preferences panel. There is a lot about this on the comunity but i have yet to discover a solution. Anyone?

    You managed to place an item in the toolbar that has since been trashed. The solution is simple. Right click (or control click) on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar... Now you can drag the question mark off the toolbar and release the mouse button. It will poof (disappear).

  • While using the computer the wi fi dropped out and it can longer find any networks. I have played around with the air port etc , still have no networks and can't connect to internet. Please help

    Hi I am having Wi fi connectivity issues , while using my computer the wi fi dropped out , I can no longer connect and no networks come up. I have tried looking into the air port, trying manually to connect to the desired network with no success , it says the Wi fi is turned on. I am at a loss to why it will no longer connect, please if you have any suggestions,as I tried to ring apple support but my warranty has expired this is my first major issue since I purchased it in 2009.
    Thanks

    My 4s i-phone which is 2 years old cannot find any wi-fi networks not even my home network... I had the same problem two months ago but i turned off the i-phone for 8 hours and then it was okay... Now it happened again.... I tried to restart the modem but whilst my laptop is connected regularly, my phone still cannot find any wi-fi networks... I restart the i-phone, i reset it, i chose reset network settings, reset all settings, i turned it off for a whole day in case it was overloaded, i turned on the airplane mode and turned it off again, i put it into the freezer for 10 minutes within a zipped bag but 3 days now and i still cannot be connected to my home wifi... I went to the technician today and he told me that it means that wi-fi is broken and that i need to change it with a charge of 70 euro but i have to give my phone for 10 working days so as to be fixed... I am so frustrated and i don't know if i want to give 70 euro for wifi since i don't know if it would make the same problems again... 

  • Eeek! Timeline audio keeps dropping out and I'm on a deadline!

    I'm REALLY hoping someone has experience with this issue. I search the forums, and was unable to find anything quite like what I've got.
    I've got a 25 minute project in a FCP X timeline. For the most part, it's a simple string-out of ProRes 422 video with AAC audio.
    While playing, the audio drops out at random times for random lengths of time (usually around 1 to 8 seconds).  The dropouts do not occur in the same place with any sort of consistency. It happens every few second, and it's making editing impossible.
    FCP X is the only running app, and I've killed all the obvious background processes. Rebooting doesn't help either.  I've watched Apple's activity monitor and seen no spikes in CPU or disk usage during the silences.  Based on other audio issues I've read about, I tried coping all the content into a new timeline. That didn't help.
    I'm running out of ideas, and more importantly, out of time.  Can anyone suggest a fix?
    Thank you in advance!

    Holy crap!  The media is AAC.  How did I miss that?!  I even typed it!!!  I think I must have confused it with AIC (which isn't even an audio codec).  Good lord.
    Ok... I'm recompressing some of the footage right now -- just to make sure that's the culprit, which it likely is. I'll report back shortly.
    Thank you, Tom!

  • SMB keeps dropping out and slowing down

    I have a user in the office that is using windows 7. They are connecting to the server but about 2 or 3 times a day the connection either drops out or the connection to the server becomes very slow and then seems to rectify it's self.
    I have captured some logs of around the time it happens may be some one has an idea what could be causing this.
    This was a disconnect from the server. Stopping and restarting SMB fixed it.

    The machine is not bound to the server they are just using standard log on, but the user is an open directory user.
    I possibly think it is something to do with smb cache as that seems to be referenced a bit.
    Any ideas.

    there is no security rick changing to b/g but if all your devices are 'n' rated then there is no point.  However if they are not then enter 192.168.1.154 into your browser then enter hub manager then wireless where you will be able to make the change to just b/g

  • NTSC/PAL conversion question

    On my vacation I took a lot of video clips with my digital camera, and made them into a movie. However, some of the people I want to send a movie to are in Europe/Africa, and need to view it in PAL format. When I made the movie, I did it in NTSC, format. When I transfer to iDVD, do I need to change the format in iMovie or in iDVD? If I have to do it in iMovie, do I have to completely redo the whole thing? Or is there a way to just convert the present NTSC version to the PAL version? If so, how? (I solved by lack of hard drive space by getting a new hard drive placed in my Power Mac-now have 100GB).

    Hi dianeh,
    most many/all dvdplayers over here are able to
    read/playback NTSC dvds... no problem at all...
    second:
    export whole project as QT dv stream (1h = 13GB)...
    import that into JES Deinterlacer, for free
    http://www.xs4all.nl/~jeschot/home.html
    choose conversion NTSC>PAL
    another 13Gig per hour....
    import THAT into iDVD
    burn PAL version.......
    hope I could be helpful
    Tank you-I'll give it a try!!

  • Airport Extreme dropping out and can't connect PC anymore

    Hello
    Suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, my internet connection dropped in the middle of surfing. I couldn't reconnect, Airport was only seeing the base station spasmodically and when I did try to connect I was being asked for a password which wasn't recognised. Hours later I called the support line and was advised to do a hard reset which I did, new name, same password. Now I'm reconnected most of the time, but it has dropped out a few times and the signal seems generally weaker. Something's not right.
    I had not at that point done the July 1st update so it's not to do with that. I haven't a clue why it suddenly started playing up so strangely. (Though I have noticed a new unsecured wireless network in range and wondered if someone was 'hacking')
    My main problem is that my business partner, who connects through a pc here (who remained connected incidentally when I first lost the connection) and continued to be able to connect until I did the hard reset. Now I can't connect that pc to the airport extreme. It sees it but gives an error message saying it's out of range and refresh the list when I try to connect. I fiddled about for hours. I've forgotten how the pc was set up in the first place and I'm going nuts. Can anyone help.
    Thanks
    Helen

    Disappointed not to see any help on this one.
    If it helps anyone out there to help me, I just uploaded the Airport Utility Software to the pc, typed in base station ID and password. Error message, check network connections. No help.
    Try to connect the pc again the usual way from the list of available networks, it asks for password, I use it, then it says it needs to be 5 or 10 ASCII characters or 20 hexadecimal.
    What I don't understand is that everything was working fine on both machines until two weeks ago when my base station went into spasm, dropped me but happy with pc, when I did the hard reset, keeps me, won't allow pc to connect.
    I just don't know what to do now. Of course I suppose I could always make a call and pay £35 to have an apple technician tell me why their hardware suddenly screwed up for no apparent reason.
    Seriously frustrated
    Anyone?

  • Regular drop outs and slow speed, likely to be noi...

    Hello,
    I'm hoping this works, I've had some success on other forums.
    When I signed up, I was quoted a speed of 11mb, for info, I'm near the centre of Worcester city, so hardly the middle of nowhere, but I'm aware I'm open to exchange usage and attenuation.
    I can currently download at around a max speed of 230kb/s, way below what I would expect from 11mb. I noticed that the phone line was very noisy when I moved in, so I am tempted to blame that. I've done all the checks and had everything connected to the master socket (it's a rented property, so I'm nervous about pulling out fixtures and what-not) but to no avail. I called the helpline and after going through the script but was told there was no problem on the line, unfortunately.
    In the last week, I've begun to experience regular connection drops, several times in an evening.
    Here are some router stats:
    Downstream: 1,180 Kbps
    Upstream: 664 Kbps
    ADSL settings
    VPI/VCI: 0/38
    Type: PPPoA
    Modulation: G.992.3 Annex A
    Latency type: Interleaved
    Noise margin (Down/Up): 4.4 dB / 2.7 dB
    Line attenuation (Down/Up): 44.5 dB / 24.0 dB
    Output power (Down/Up): 0.0 dBm / 10.6 dBm
    FEC Events (Down/Up): 131879 / 1358784
    CRC Events (Down/Up): 156 / 457
    I had a similar issue with TalkTalk which ended up with a call out, I'm hoping this isn't needed here. Is it possible for the forum staff to look into the situation?
    Many thanks,
    Alex
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Blimey you're fast on here, thanks for that. I'm nowhere near an expert on this, but I do know what I need to know.
    I'm just trying this in case I've forgotten something daft.
    I used the master for about a day but gave up after no improvement. The silent test is far from that, more crackles and pops than the eponymous cereal, that's why I'm suspecting that over proximity of electrical equipment etc.
    Bit more info. I'm in a block of flats, and because I've had a corded phone directly in the master and still got a noisy line, is that more likely to be outside of the property rather than in? I'm trying to avoid the cost of a call out and I'm sure the landlord doesn't want his walls taken apart.
    Anyway, lovely stats:
    1. Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    Download  Speed
    1415 Kbps
    0 Kbps
    2000 Kbps

     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 800-2000 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :1793 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 800 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 1581 Kbps
    2. Upstream Test:  -provides background information.
    Upload Speed

    Bit shabby for an 11mb line no?

  • Here we go again. My internet is dropping out and ...

    I'm disabled seriously disabled my internet is actually my life.
    Three four weeks ago I had a phone call about going onto the new  sytem, I was told it would cost no more then £2 a month and would be a massive difference to me. I said is that the total cost and they said nope you also have to pay £60 for an egnieer to come oiut and £30 for the modem.
    I said at this time I just cannot afford this and the lady said oh come on your can afford that have you thought of cutting back on something, and I said I cannot live now and we are already cutting back, she then asked can you not get others to give you some money.
    I ended up putting the phone down on this lady I know these people are on commission but this was getting ridiculous .
    Since this phone call all I have had is my broadband dropping out four or five times a day and it obviously done to try and get me to change.
    Now then I get £96 a week in ESA benefits to live on and pay my way the Internet to me is a luxury item one I'm struggling to pay for, the phone lines is expensive and the Internet is paid for by me cutting back on other things I cannot afford to pay more especially not an extra £90 and I dislike people trying to sell me something and telling me I should cut back.
    Leave my Internet alone I've had my son replace all the lines and I've had a new filter, but your chap working on the phone lines three weeks go means my phone lines is now really noisy again. I cannot afford the new Internet system it to much for me ton pay for.
    I've been with BT all my life actually all my life, and at sixty two now I do not want to change but if you force me to go I will.

    I appreciate you may not be able to do some of the requests but maybe you can get some help from your son but in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
    are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem
