Flash Video Looks great when i play localy but is very grainy when played from a server

What could be going on that would cause my flash video to look terriable when played off a server, but look great when played localy?
the clip is encoded in f4v and is about 3 min long, when i test it i use the same html file and browser, the only thing that changes is, local vs server

here is a link to the clip the issue really stands out at about 19 sec into the clip where there are some animated lines that flow around http://www.autical.net/saver/
below i added screen shots the top one is the local and the bottom one is the server
i guess i used the term grainy incorrectly, i should have said blocky

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

Video looks great on MBP, horrible when projected....

I am projecting a video that I created in FinalCut on the MBP onto a screen using a Dell 1610X projector Check it out at http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/HomeTheaterProjectors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=224-7541
During my tests, I noticed that the video looks great on the MBP but really dark when projected.
I don't want to re-color the video to make it work on the projector... any thoughts, hints, insight you can provide?
Thanks in advance.

You are comparing two different things and expecting them to be equal. That won't work.
The computer monitor emits light, the projection screen reflects light.
The reflectivity of the projection screen plays an important role. A white painted wall will not look the same as a proper screen with a silver or glass bead coating such as those used in movie theaters.
Ambient light from the auditorium or leaking through the drapes will dilute the contrast on the screen.
How are you connecting to the projector? The model you linked has VGA and HDMI inputs. VGA does not have the ability to display the range of color and contrast that your computer does. HDMI might improve things somewhat.
I don't want to re-color the video to make it work on the projector...
Then you have to block as much of the ambient light sources as possible and get a decent screen.

SonyAVCHD video looks great in iMovie11 or iDVD7.1.2. When I burn a DVD it's terrible. If I freeze frame I see squares. The picture has poor contrast. I've viewed DVD on my 6-year-old, 24 in. intel 2.16 GHz iMac, and on TV. Help!

I just bought a very good quality Sony AVCHD camcorder. I also just upgraded my computer from Tiger to Snow Leapord. My iMac is a 6-year-old, 2.16GHz Intel 2 Duo, with a 24 inch screen and 3GB Ram.
My Sony camcorder HD video looks great in iMovie11 and in iDVD7.1.2., but when I burn a DVD "professional" it looks terrible. If I look at a freeze frame on the DVD I see image made-up of squares. The picture has poor contrast. It looks as bad as poor quality VHS. Do I need to get a new iMac to make this work? Is it possible to make a sharp, clear DVD from AVCHD footage with a 6-year-old iMac like mine?

That thread helped for a time. But now it seems as though my computer is back to slow again. But, some of the jargon is over my head as well. Not sure I knew quoite everything they were talking about. But thanks a lot for that, it helped I probably just need to reread it and follow the instructions again. Thanks so much.

Help- FCExpress videos look terrible when burned on iDVD

What am I doing wrong here? I am editing my SD DV-Cam videos in Final Cut Express and exporting as Quicktime movies using the following compression:
Compression: H.264
Quality: Best
Dimensions: 721x540
The DVD's look great when played on the computer, but horrible when played on my television through my DVD player (the pixelate and stripe, particularly when there is lots of movement)
Should I be using a different compression?

Hello John,
I've a couple of different workflows depending on what I want and which version you're running (and on what machine) but generally this is the process. It is recommended that you export your timeline as QT movie even if you use Compressor (and not send to Compressor from within FCE/FCP) because it has the nasty habit of re-rendering your timeline,which adds to the already long encoding times of Compressor 2 and later. If your mac is not very powerful, you can let DVDSP do the encoding - the encoder is based on Compressor, but seems to be a bit faster.
What is not recommended is that, for example, you export your DV PAL timeline using QT Conversion with the exact same settings as in your sequence ... QT will re-encode the sequence (rather than just writing the file) and the outcome usually is flawed. Any other conversion (e.g. h.264) I'd run through compressor - that is if you have the time and want high quality.
hope this helps

Flash Video Won't Open and Play in Online Site

When I upload my Flash Video files to the online server, the HTML page opens but the Flash Video doesn't open and play. If I open the HTML page in preview mode in Dreamweaver CS5, the HTML page opens and the Flash Video plays OK. I have tried using the Adobe Media Encoder to produce the FLV file as well as tried exporting the FLV from Adobe Premiere CS 5.5, but neither makes any difference. The Flash Video still doesn't play when files are uploaded to the site online. I have also tried using different versions of Flash Professional to create and publish the SWF movie file, but nothing I try seems to make the Flash Video open and play online. The test site I have set up is http://www.hgatest.org then you can click the “video” link to open the Flash Video. Video HTML page URL is http://www.hgatest.org /video.html   You can then see what I am talking about. Please help. This just started happening about 6 months ago and it has been driving me crazy. Any ideas will be helpful. Thanks, Joe K.

I applied some edits to my photo using iOS 7's default photo editor. It looks great when I preview the image on iPhone, but I cannot export the edited photos onto my PC. Anyone know how can I do this?

yeah, in itunes if you select your phone, you should get tabs across the top for what to sync, under photos uncheck the box
EDIT: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 is the link to a apple support document with information on syncing photos using itunes.

20" Intel iMac - DISPLAY LOOKS YELLOWISH WHEN VIEWED FROM AN ANGLE?

Just got a brand new 20" iMac and the display looks great when looking at it 'straight on', however when viewing the display from an angle (and just a slight angle) all of the white and lighter colors in a photo change to an annoying 'yellowish' color...go figure?
Is this normal or ???
Are there any settings to adjust in the System Preferences / Display?

Thanks George for the link...
Wow...little did I know about the dreaded viewing angle of a TN display. In fact, I went to an Apple Store yesterday and checked out several 20" and 24" iMacs and every 20" iMac had the viewing angle problem while the 24" iMacs showed no signs of this issue.
I plan to return the 20" unit and upgrade to the 24" iMac...thank goodness for the 14 day return policy, however with the 10% restocking fee...ugh!

Firefox 12 just installed on MacBook Pro, OSX 106.8. FF looks great, seems faster also. BUT, on tab menu, the small triangle (to list the tab info) is missing; I can't find a way to reinstall it using the View->Toolbars->Customise option. Can you help?

You will only see the "List All Tabs" button in Firefox 12+ if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.

Firefox does not display my customised Adobe Air browser based skin when viewed from a server

Hi,
I have edited the skin for my Adobe Air Browser based help. It appears fine in Explorer and Chrome, but Firefox displays the default black Air skin when viewed from a server.
However, it appears OK when viewed locally on my machine in Firefox?
Does anyone know why this is or if there is a way to make my customised skin display when viewed from a server using the Firefox browser?
Cheers

Peter,
I think this was it:

although my problem is just with Firefox - my amended skin displays fine in Internet Explorer.
Firefox just applies the default Midnight Black skin.
Cheers

Adobe flash video constantly crashes when starting to play

The flash player crashes every time I try to play a flash video in browser (vk videos as well as dailymotion and as well as youtube). Flash games are okay, though... Kongregate.com at the very least... At the same time google Chrome does not crash and plays video okay.
There're no crash reports for these crashes in about:crashes.
I tried downgrading flash to 10.3. I tried to update real player. I turned off hardware acceleration. Nothing helps! The video just crashes at the very first moment of playback.
PS: it all started recently. In august. There were no problems in July.

Same problem here. Every new Shockwave version has gotten worse. I'm beginning to wonder if there's compatibility issues with the other plug-ins and/or add-ons I use?
Is there a Mozilla or Firefox 'tool' that checks the compatibility of the plug-ins and add-ons?

Photos look great edited in LR 3 but extremely grainy when printed

I said I would take photos at a friends wedding and now I just want to cry.
I edited raw photos in LR3 - they look great in LR. I export them to a folder and they still look great on a large screen. But then I sent them off to print. It wasn't so much the colours that annoyed me it was the grain and sharpening in the photo, it looks terrible. I only realised this after I gave her the photos on disk and she spent money printing 1000 crap photos...
I have never had this issue before. I am just doing a light edit - small crop on some, don't know if its the export process.
I have played around and what seems to work is moving the luminance to close to 85-100 and sharpening to 0. I just want to know is that right do it it that way or am I missing a major thing.
When I do an export from lightroom. Its jpeg format sRGB, quality - 80, resolution 240
This bit I am unsure of...I have ticked sharpen output as set for matte paper, amount - standard.
If anyone could help me out soon I would really appreciate it, as it would save me using a lot of tissues as I am quite frustrated.

I have attached 3 photos.
When I took the photos I shot as both raw and jpeg. I have attached the following:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5ebbdi4o3u14wk3/CZWB8wJcce/Grainy%20Photos?lst
a.. the original raw photo
b.. the jpeg that came with it (as is out of the camera)
c.. the final edited jpeg
d.. A screen print of the image uploaded to printing lab (It will look grainy around the hair line...but that's the problem)
I have played around a fair bit. All looks great in LR and when I get out of LR and open them up full screen out of windows explorer they look good too.
It was only when the bride complained about the blurriness, I then tried uploading the final high resolution file to RGB Digital Labs that you could see how bad they were.
Last night I was playing around and I tried uploading the jpeg straight out of the camera to RGB labs and that too was bad. So I am starting to think would it be the camera, but then again when they look so good after editing why would they look bad at print time. Photo was taken at f$ 1/200 shutter speed and ISO 320 (so it’s not like I didn’t have light) I had a flash as well
I think I am going to have a mental breakdown!!!
So far from what I have found to get the picture looking ok Sharpness is “0”and luminance is set to 100 – so too extremes which just does not seem right, I have never had to do this before.
Any help would be great
Thanks
Sara

Video looks great in the simulator but picture shifts to the right on DVD

When I preview my encoded video clips in DVDSP4 using the simulator they look great and are centered perfectly... however, when I write my project to DVD and play it back on a consumer DVD player, the video (picture) is offset to the right by about 15 units (pixels). All my menus look off-centered. How can I keep my clips centered on the written DVD? Help!
DVD Studio Pro 4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

This is certainly a new issue. I haven't seen any reports of it.
Could you tell us how it looks on other set tops or your computer?

ALL flash videos looks pixelated, win 7 or 8.1, ONLY with firefox

Latest firefox version, latest adobe flash player.. Had cleaned cache and preferences of both Firefox and Flash Player.. two different machines with different hardwares and SOs, no luck!
With Google Chrome all videos are ok. It's like the difference in this two images: http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/computer-chip-super-resolution-640x353.jpg
Firefox's WEB images are GREAT but all videos looks pixelated as the left picture.. had compared the same video with Firefox and Chrome opened side-by-side.. :\

Hardware acceleration ON of OFF didn't make any difference.. honestly I never saw anyone saying they see any difference switching it..
Of course with a higher resolution (720 or 1080p) there's less pixelation, but with other browsers there ain't such issue..

Flash video not reporting when finsihed

Using a flash video object in Flash 9 via netStream off my
local hard drive I am finding when my long video reaches the end I
don't get the expected NetSream.Play.Stop. I just get this from the
netStream.onStatus at the end of the video
status : NetStream.Buffer.Full
status : NetStream.Buffer.Empty
status : NetStream.Buffer.Full
If I make a 10 second version of the video I do get the
expected NetSream.Play.Stop. I am using On2 VP6 and have tried it
as CBR and VBR bit rates.
Oddly enough as I switched to this web site to type this and
the flash movie was overwritten by the browser I suddenly got the
NetSream.Play.Stop! WTF is going on with this video object, it used
to do this in Flash 8, you'd think the boys at Adobe would have
made this system work better by now?
Any thoughts on how to deal with a unreliable video system?
Kevin
