H.264 is pixelated in QT player but not in Windows Media Player

Hi All,
I have been pulling out my hair while dealing with h.264 compression.
I figured out how to get rid of the washed out color - using the movie properties> transparency stuff.
But now I still have pixelation problems. In a specific part of my video, I have pink on blue in a sharp line. There is pretty major pixelation where the 2 colors meet. I realized that this pixelation only shows up when the h.264 is played in quicktime player. I play it in Windows Media Player and there is no pixelation. I am ultimately uploading this to Vimeo.com and I tried a test, and it is still pixelated when uploaded to Vimeo.
Please help me if you have any idea why this is happening
Thanks!!!!
Akira

Make sure you're using the QT7 player and that it is set to high quality playback.

  • Burned a disc in Encore, plays fine on DVD player, but not in Windows Media

    Hi,
    I was just wondering if anyone else has had playback issues in Windows Media Player with DVDs burned in Encore.  We recently produced a 14 minute film that plays skip free and glitch free on any standalone DVD player we test it in, but when we test it in a PC using Windows Media Player at 12 minutes in the picture starts glitching, random artifacts appear distorting what we see.  It doesn't skip, but it does introduce these glitches and artifacts all the way until the end.
    We thought it might be a good idea to play the DVD on a different DVD program, so we used PowerDVD and it plays PERFECTLY.  So, that means it's a Windows Media Player problem.  We tested the DVD on multiple PCs using Windows Media Player and the same thing happens.  We even tested other copies of the DVD and the SAME THING HAPPENS!
    What's most frustrating is that we can't control how people are going to view the film.  We've already had our client come back to us after watching it on his PC using Media Player and ask us why the "movie was skipping."  Obviously, it wasn't skipping, just introducing those weird glitches.  Is there something I can do in Encore to ensure playbackability in Windows Media Player?
    Thanks,
    Steven

    Windows Media Player has undergone some changes over the last several versions. For a period, there was no DVD play at all. It was rumored that MS had removed that, to keep burned pirated commercial DVD's from playing. It is likely that what functions that have been put back into WMP are causing the issues. The issues that you describe sound a bit like some form of attempt to impose "copy protection," onto burned discs. [Just a thought on my part, as I have no facts to back that up.]
    Have not tried any DVD in WMP 12, so have no direct help there.
    As you point out, there is no control as to what software players people will likely use. Not sure how to handle that from your end. Maybe others will have definitive answers, regarding WMP 12, and your exact problem. I would also *guess* that the same would likely happen with any burned DVD, regardless of the software used. Maybe test Burn to Folder and use freeware ImgBurn to experiment?
    Good luck,

  • Zen VPlus recognized by Vista, but not by windows media pla

    Hello,
    my zen VPlus is recognized by vista (in device manager it is in "Portable Devices") , I can also find it in Windows Explorer.
    However, it doesn't show up in windows media player in the sync section; if I deconnect the zen and I reconnect it back, I can see the message "detected my zen" on the lower side of wmpl but I still get the picture "connect to a device" above.
    Any idea ? The last firmware has been installed and I can directly copy files with Windows Explorer.

    You need to install iTunes in order to install the necessary drivers.

  • After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

    After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
    The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

    I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
    I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

    After using firefox for a while if I exit, parent.lock is locked and i have to reboot to reload firefox.
    I have killed all firefox applications from task manager (usually there are none). and I have tried 3 different "file unlock" programs including unlocker to no avail.
    I also recently installed a program that shows -all- open files, and parent.lock is not listed, and thus not closable/unlockable from there.

  • I see a distortion icon image in Windows 8.1 but not in windows 8

    I saw distorted icon image in windows 8.1 but not in Windows 8. This bug doesn't affect Windows 8.1 functionality but causes some icons to look ugly, distorted, fuzzy.This bug can be seen in "Delete confirmation dialog box". The
    folder icon in delete confirmation dialog box will look distorted and ugly. Black edges will appear around the icon and the icon will not look correct.The same thing also happens in "Send To" menu.
    Also heard that this bug is not related to graphics card driver or any other thing.
    Hope windows will take necessary actions to solve this bug as soon as possible so that users like us can be satisfied with the new windows 8.1.

    Try running SFC scan. Refer the following link for more information:

    if you don't have "enable disk use" or "manually manage music" selected in your summary tab, that's normal.
    do you have either "enable disk use" or "manually manage music" selected in your summary tab?

  • Illustrator extention export PDF file as PSD worked on Windows XP but not on Windows 7

    We have a extension that convert files to CMYK PSD with color profile attached. It worked fine (for most of files) on Windows XP but not on Windows 7.
      var expOpt: ExportOptionsPhotoshop = new ExportOptionsPhotoshop();
      expOpt.resolution = 300;
      expOpt.imageColorSpace = ImageColorSpace.CMYK;
      expOpt.embedICCProfile = true;
      doc.exportFile( psdFile, ExportType.PHOTOSHOP, expOpt );
    above code never throw any exception on Windows7, but just no file been saved. It only happened to convert PDF to PSD.
    If I manually open file in Illustrator (win7) and export it as PSD, I got ‘not enough memory’ error.  I googled a solution make the manual exporting worked but still the extension didn’t work.
    The solution for manual operation is set ‘additional plug-in folder’ for preferences-> plug-ins& Scratch disks’.
    Any advice?
    Thanks!
    Ling

    I apologize for not having an answer. I just wanted to chime in and say that I am having the exact same issue. I have never had this before. It's happened ever since I had my hard drive replaced and Illustrator has been reinstalled, so I am assuming that it's a preference somewhere that I have missed?

  • TS1436 I cant burn CDS using itunes but burns using windows media. itunes up to date what now?

    I cant burn cds using itunes but burns in window media.itunes up to date what now?

    Join the crowd. I was thinking of going back to a previous version, but had heard that could be a problem. Fortunately, I have more than one computer and things work fine there. I'm thinking it could be the burner in the problem computer, but it was working just fine before the upgrade...

  • Mp3 does not play in iTunes but plays in Windows Media Player

    Dear group,
    iTunes will not play a particular group of mp3s I have but the same mp3s play fine in Windows Media Player.
    Winamp cannot play them either.
    I've searched the net a bit and found many mentions of it but no solutions which work for me.
    Also, these same mp3s are on my iPod and they play fine.
    Any clues what is causing this bizzare problem? The files are not wma do not have DRM or anything like that.
    I have tried reinstalling iTunes and Winamp.
    Thanks

    Do the tracks import into iTunes even though the will not play? If so try selecting a track, then go to Advanced>>Convert ID3 tags and select None.
    If that allows the track to play you can select multiple tracks to convert.

  • Zen Vision M Recognized by XP Pro, but not by Creative Media Organizer or other transfer softw

    I have a Zen Vision M. It worked perfectly for months. Suddenly, it wouldn't turn on. I started it in Rescue Mode, did a clean up and several reboots. It started doing a rebuild on every start. Now when I plug it into the USB port, my computer recognizes it. It gives me the portable device icon in the task bar. But, if I try to use it with Windows Media Player 0, Creative Mediasource, Organizer or anything else, it says the device is not connected. I have checked Device Manager, and it shows up. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Zen software. I have no issues with device drivers in the Device Manager. It just simply will not show up as connected on any software to transfer music.
    If I connect it to the USB, it goes into dock mode. When I boot up any of the software, it shows the docking arrows moving. It's like everything is ok except the one important piece - not being recognized by the various software needed to transfer music.
    Please help!? I have a Dell Dimension 8400. I run Windows XP Pro with ALL updates, and SP2. It is completely up to date with all critical updates for XP Pro. This came out of the blue and I have no explanation for it. I hadn't used it for about 3 days, but it worked perfectly up until I turned it on that last time when I got nothing and had to go through all the clean up, reboots, etc. I have done 2 clean ups so far.
    Please advise what to do next.
    Thanks.

    Ok. I checked my version of XP. It is XP Pro, Version 2002, SP2. I checked and already had the 2 hotfixes that were listed as being needed before proceeding. I followed all the steps and changed the registry key on "everyone" as the instructions stated to do. My ZVM is still not recognized by any of the software for transferring or organizing MP3's. My computer still recognizes that it is attached. It still gives me the device icon in the task bar. It still says it's A-ok in the Device Manager. It does everything, except it is not detected by ANY of my music software. <sigh>? Frustration is at its peak for me right now. I really appreciate all of the efforts. I'm at my wits end now. I have done everything you have indicated I should, but am getting the same results. I did purchase an extended warranty from Circuit City where I purchased this last summer. Is that the next step? Do I need to get this replaced?I love this player and really don't want to go through this again. We had to exchange it twice in the first month because it froze up and wouldn't do a thing. This last one has been perfect. I keep it in a leather padded case at all times. It never has the battery drained. It never gets jostled or bumped or dropped or anything that might damage it. When not being played, it stays on my desk in the case.
    Thanks so much for any and all help.

  • MP3 tags work in iTunes 11 but not in Windows 7 - Fixed

    I tagged a bunch of MP3 downloads in iTunes 11, but the artist/track/album and other information did not show up in Windows 7 file information or in Windows Media Player.
    The fix that worked for me was to convert to MP3 tags to ID3 tags to version 1.0.
    Steps:
    -Open iTunes
    -Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
    -Right click the songs
    -Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
    -Check the box for ID3tag version
    -Choose v1.0
    -Click OK
    Your mileage may vary, of course, but this worked for me and all of the embedded info was properly updated. Note that I did not have album art and I don't know if rolling back the version will affect that. Good luck.

    Thanks turingtest2.
    I tried your None>2.3 path and it appears to be a superior method to my original suggestion.
    I hadn't noticed, but the track #s did not come through to Windows using my original method. They come through when converting to None then to 2.3. Your method, as you note, also provides the advantage of longer field lenghts. I am sure there are other advantages to 2.3 over 1, if  nothing other than it's closest to the most up to date standard.
    I tried converting to 2.4, but none of the data comes through to Windows.
    Here is a revised set of steps. Note that this method will clear artwork.
    -Open iTunes
    -Find the songs you want to convert in the Songs view
    -Right click the songs
    -Choose Convert ID3 Tags...
    -Check the box for ID3tag version
    -Choose None
    -Click OK
    -Choose Convert ID3 Tags... again
    -Check the box for ID3tag version
    -Choose v2.3
    -Click OK
    Last comment: There may be better solutions using other software such as id3tagit, but the solution above works right from iTunes.
