Hauppauge HD PVR problems with M2TSfiles quality output

I bought recently a hauppauge HD PVR. This hauppauge records my X-box 360 gameplay in M2TS-files/1080i.
I edit these files with PE9. Importing files to PE9 works all right, quality is acceptable,
but burning the files to a DVD the files loose much quality. It looks blurred and it flickers.
At this moment I have the trail version of PE9 and I doubt now about buying this program, because
the quality of de DVD's is so poor. Are these problems due to PE9 itself, or some wrong settings,
or do I have to buy a blue ray burner (which I would prefer not to) to get a better quality?
Thanks if you could help me soon.
Arthur

I cannot speak for the mechanics, but I thought that Gossamer had gotten the details to do that. Maybe down-thread a bit.
IIRC, one can burn ~ 20 mins. of HD material to a DVD, but I believe that would be on a DVD-9 (Double Layer disc).
Good luck,
Hunt

Problem with Optical Audio Output

Hi, all. I'm running my audio out through the optical digital output on my Mac Pro. Recently, I've developed a problem with iTunes, where certain tracks are distorted and others play extremely softly. There is no problem when I run the audio out through the headphone jack...it's only a problem through the optical output.
Furthermore, when I go to Audio MIDI setup, it says "Output is not supported" for the optical digital output, when I've read that I should be able to make adjustments to it here.
Does anyone know what might be causing a problem with my optical output? Thanks so much!

Look in iTunes' "Playback" preferences. Try turning off "Crossfade", "Sound Enhancer", and "Sound Check"/

Problem with APE8 flash output quality

Hi Guys
I have tried to get some advice some time ago about this problem, I'm having problems with quality of flash video made on APE8
Basically video uploaded from mini dv camcorder (canon xm2) after editing and conversion to flash, video looks very bad, full of small horizontal lines and rugged edges not very clear.
I have tried all available settings codecs in PE8 and no luck so far, computer W7 64-bit all drivers up to date, plenty of ram and hard drive space.
I need good quality flash videos for my website and not sure what to do i like adobe programs and had use them for years and don't really want swap it for another.

Hi Steve
Thanks for the answer, yes I'm using the correct project settings (PAL DV) and capture video over FireWire using Premiere Elements.
I have installed JW Player 5.3 on the website and on computer i have Sothink FLV Player.
I have gone through the all resolution settings in PE8 with similar result, video looks not very good in 100%, every object especially ones with high contrast background has ragged edges and the picture is full of small horizontal lines.
At the moment to get a reasonable good flash file I'm saving my finished video as MPEG (which is very good quality), and than using Sothink Video Encoder for Adobe Flash I'm converting it to flash.
I know the quality is lost by involving MPEG in the process but at the moment just don't know any other way how to get a reasonable result.
Best regards
Slav

Problem with losing quality in exporting FLV

First I should emphasize that I am new to Adobe's products, and am learning it on the fly as part of a intelligent tutoring system design project. So I apologize for my lack of technical knowledge in advance. Rest assured I have put much effort in attempting to solve this problem on my own and by referencing this forum and other web sources, but sadly with no success.
FYI, I am using the CS4 Master collection.
My question pertains to retaining the quality of my video once I export it to .flv format via Media Encoder from Premiere Pro. My main video source is an .flv file that i have imported into my media browser. Initially I ran into a problem with the importing because it did not recognize H264 as having any media, and so I had to convert to Sorenson format to get it to import successfully. But it seems to have imported just fine without any loss of quality in the workspace. So that isn't my main issue but perhaps it is related.
I am having major issues with losing quality upon export back to .flv format - which is the format I am required to use - the video is being imbedded within a larger program and so it needs to have a smallish file size. For the life of me I cannot figure out any combination of settings that works. If I select same as source then I end up with a video that is surrounded by black borders. This may because the workspace is larger than my imported file. I have attempted to enlarge it to fit the safe margins but it hasn't helped. If I resize my output video to 640 x 480 - which is what I want - I get a shrinked video with black borders. If I crop the input to what I want I just lose quality - but I lose quality either way. I really want to accomplish this without increasing the bit rate (and thus the file size). I have tried just about every setting available and I still lose the quality. Is this just inevitable? Is there a plugin that would help? From what I can it seems that Adobe has more problems dealing with .flv than with other video formats, but I haven't found anything that pertains to this issue specifically.
Otherwise does anyone know of any other programs that can edit .flv files and offers multiple video & audio tracks?
Thanks in advance. If anything needs clarification let me know.

Ah yes I left out that detail. My source video is 640 x 480 also so the output is not an increase in size.
This is different from my sequence settings. Which is 1440 x 1080 16:9 ratio. Pixel Aspect Ratio is HD anamorphic 1080 (1.333).
I am assuming that this needs to be changed but I can't figure out how to do that (sequence settings are greyed out). Should I just start a new project?

Problem with inheritance and outputting values in toString.

Hey guys, i'm having a major problem with inheritances.
What i'm trying to do with my program is to create objects in my demo class. Values are passed to several other objects that each do their own calculations of grades and results and then outputs the result in my toString. I followed step by step the instructions in my book on how to setup the inheritance and such. I can only output everything that was created in my superclass, any other thing that was created in an object that belongs to a subclass does not display in the output at all.
Even if I change or create new instance variables, I can't figure out for the life of myself how to output the other values.
Because there's so much code to be splitting on the forums, I zipped my whole project in a RAR. I'll link it here
http://www.4shared.com/file/ZleBitzP/Assign7.html
The file to run the program is CourseGradesDemo class, everything else is either a subclass or superclass to some part of the program. After you run CourseGradesDemo, you will see the output, and understand what displays and what stays at 0.0 value. If anyone can help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.

Not gonna happen. Provide an [url http://sscce.org]SSCCE. And don't say you can't. You definitely can. You may have to spend an hour building a new program from scratch and getting it to reproduce the problem, but if you can't or won't do that, you'll find few people here willing to bother with it.

Problem with iMac quality

I own a 27" iMac that is just less than 4 years old, and where after sending it for repair with Apple in Denmark was told that it needed a new graphics card for DKK 2899 - approx. USD 490.00.
I found out that the iMac is produced at a factory in Shanghai called W8 where Apple have had problems with exact same issue in the past, and it seems had agreed to extended warranty replacement to fix these problems.
Nevertheless I do believe that Apple customers buy Apple products because we expect superior quality and no Apple customer would expect to have problems with a major component especially on such an expensive products and certainly not within 4 years.
And if there were a seldom problem with a unit that Apple would rather step up to the plate and stand behind their products quality.
In my case it seems Apple - or at least Apple in Denmark - is unwilling to do so even though they acknowledge that it very seldom happen

Do you have a support system in Denmark to protect customers from problems with products and services. If so advance your complaint there. Irrespective of the warranty, here in the UK you can get official help against any supplier of goods that are faulty up to six years from purchase. But you must be reasonable in your approach. Apple's warranty promise specifically allows for this when it says ...
Coverage is estimated. Learn about Apple’s coverage information for your product. Your warranty is the same whether or not you register.  Important: Apple’s 1-year limited warranty and AppleCare Protection Plan benefits are in addition to rights provided by consumer law (see details). If you believe you have a valid consumer law claim, please contact us.

Adhoc query-Problem with Personnel no output field

Hi Gurus,
We are trying to run an adhoc query using a customized Info set(PNPCE logical database).
While running the query,we had selected Personnel no(from Payroll status P0003 table) as output field and Company code(from Org assignment P0001) as input field in the selection.
Problem is in the output field we are seeing the Personnel name details in place of Personnel no.Could anyone please suggest what could be the reason behind this and how to fix it.
Your help will be highly appreciated.

Sushil

Hi Sushil,
The default output for fields with a text and a value (Name = text, PERNR = value) is the text. You can change this by right clicking on the output box in Ad Hoc and selecting "Value". If you want both name and number, select "Value and Text".
You can also change this default to Value from Text if in Ad Hoc, you go to Edit --> Settings. On the last tab, change the radio buttion for output default to Value from Text. This will change it for all fields so you would see the eight digit number rather than the name of the position or org unit. Thus, you may want to keep it at Text and use the right click to change specific fields as needed.
By the way, it is usually best to utilize the personnel number field from IT0000-Actions, although it can be obtained from any infotype if you include that field in the field group when creating your infoset.

Problem with Alt Text output from thumbnail image of Lightbox widget

I’m having a problem with the Lightbox widget not producing alternative text based on the image properties. I’ve set ALT text for the image properties on both the larger Ligtbox image as well as the thumbnail. But the HTML output from Muse does not include the ALT text on the thumbnail version of the image. Here’s an example:
    <div class="popup_anchor">
       <div class="Thumb popup_element clearfix" id="u4409">
        <a class="anchor_item grpelem" id="untitled"></a>
        <div class="grpelem" id="u4433">
         <img id="u4433_img" src="/images/n0060292x292.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="292" />
This may be a problem that came in a previous release of Muse. I have a few older examples where ALT text is produced, but it’s no longer updated if I update the Image Properties.

I'm seeing the same problem. Looks like a bug to me. Any ideas as to how we can get this on Adobe's bug fix list?

N 97 FM Transmitter PROBLEM WITH CHARGER / QUALITY...

Helllo. got my RM 505 FW 11 with several problems concerning the built-in FM Transmitter.
When used under UMTS 3G EPLUS with LCG Jukebox 2.41 the Transmit Power seems to Low.
I tested it with freq. 88.30 , 88.60 ,96.00 and 107.00 for example.
Always i got crackling noise and interferences .
But when i plug my Nokia USB Charger to the Device , FM Transmitting is nearly impossible.
to the point the batteries recharging the amount of FM send power is very low. but when i plug off the charger ,
the quality is much better , but far away from a good result. i noticed that whenever i touch phones metal frame , the quality rises , but when i left phone alone quality falls down to hell.
i compared it with my nokia N86 8MP but there is NO problem with or without connectet USB Charger so
i guess maybe it is a hardware fault of my device ?????
Could anyone be so kind and check his N97 with and without USB Charger in car while transmitting MP3 to radio ??
Thx a Lot !
Thom.

Can Flex make a Design Tool with a quality output file?

Hi there,
I have a team of developers working on a web-based design tool for a large-format print shop. They built the prototype on a Flex platform and used ImageMagick to handle text and image effects.
Unfortunately, ImageMagick cannot produce the quality of output file we need for our products (prints up to 3 ft by 6 ft / 1m x 2m). It rasterizes all of the design objects, including text and vector clipart.
Is it possible for Flex to handle all of these elements (object rotation, scale changes, etc.) and output a final design to high quality PDF or AI files without ImageMagick?
I'm just not sure if my developers are missing something or if they're just not communicating the technical challenges involved in creating such large, high quality output files for a custom, web-based application.
Many thanks in advance for any insight!

I'm still not sure I understand what you need. Sounds like the image map is the same for all the pages, but the image itself is different, although the images are the same size on each page. Is that it?
In that case, you could do this in a number of ways, but the best might be -
Make the page have a transparent PNG/GIF image the same size as the map that has the 5 mapped areas defined on it. Make the container for that image have a CSS BACKGROUND image that is the actual map. Specify this CSS background image's path in an embedded stylesheet in the editable region of the head of the page.
With this as the template, all you need to do on each page is to respecify the background image - since the embedded stylesheet is in an editable region that's do-able. In other words the TEMPLATE would be -
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<div id="foo">
     <img width="map_width" height="map_height" src="transparent.png" usemap="#foomap">
<map name="foomap">
</map>
</body>
</html>
The map image can, itself, be in an uneditable region of the page....

Problem with concatenation, need output in a desired format

Hi all,
I have a weird problem with concatenation.
I should get an output in such a way that the result would be
Put C:\TEMP\test20090210.xml /FOLDER1/test20090210.xml
For this first to get C:\TEMP\test20090210.xml format I said
CONCATENATE 'C:\TEMP\test' sy-datum '.XML' INTO filepath.
For this secondly to get /FOLDER1/test20090210.xml format I said
CONCATENATE '/FOLDER1/test' sy-datum '.XML' INTO filepath1.
Now I need to get the format
Put C:\TEMP\test20090210.xml /FOLDER1/test20090210.xml
And to get this I said
CONCATENATE 'put' filepath INTO filepath SEPARATED BY space.
And the output for filepath was Put C:\TEMP\test20090210.xml.
But I want u2026u2026u2026.Put C:\TEMP\test20090210.xml /FOLDER1/test20090210.xml.
How can I achieve this?
If I say
CONCATENATE filepath INTO filepath1 SEPARATED BY space. It throws a syntax error saying
u201CUnable to interpret filepathu201D
Please help me..i am dying to figure out how to concatenate and get the required output.
My filepath contains u2026 Put C:\TEMP\test20090210.xml
My filepath1 contains u2026/FOLDER1/test20090210.xml
I need final output asu2026u2026u2026u2026.
Put C:\TEMP\test20090210.xml /FOLDER1/test20090210.xml
How to attain this..please helpu2026where I am going wrong..i declared filepath and filepath1 as STRING

Hi all,
Thanks for immediate reply...now it works..
but i also need to put a counter like thing to distinguish my files.
for my filepath....
i want it as C:\TEMP\test20090210110146 so i said....
CONCATENATE ' C:\TEMP\test' sy-datum s y-uzeit '.XML'.
Actually i am generating XML files and naming them as testsystemdatesystemtime.
But i am concerend that my filed might be overwrriten if a file gets generated in a fraction of a millisecond..so to avoid that now i want to put a counter.
i.e my filepath should now be as follows each time loop executes...
C:\TEMP\test20090210110146_1
C:\TEMP\test20090210110147 _2
C:\TEMP\test20090210110148 _3.........and son on how can i do it
i.e testsystemdatesystemtime+ a counter(which tells how many times loop executed)
Once again thanks to all for immediate help...

Controlled test shows imovie 08 import is problem with image quality

Friends,
Like many others I thought that I had noticed a quality difference between imovie 08 and imovie 06. So I did a controlled test:
I imported the same video into imovie 08 and imovie 06. I made two separate movies out of the video in 08 and two separate movies out of the video in 06. I then exported one of the 06 movies into 08 and one of the 08 movies into 06. I then burned all four movies to dvd.
The resulting burns were the following:
1. imported into 06, burned through 06
2. imported into 06, exported to 08 and burned through 08
3. imported into 08 and burned through 08
4. imported into 08, exported to 06 and burned through 06.
The result:
The movies imported into 06 were clearly superior in image quality to those imported into 08. I couldn't tell a difference between the 06 imports burned through 08 and 06. I also couldn't detect a difference between movies imported into 08 and burned in 06 and 08.
What is it about 08 import that causes quality degradation? I couldn't find any quality preferences to change.
I suppose this post isn't much different from the others along this line but I couldn't find any that did this type of controlled test.
Applecare had no idea why there was this difference.
Steve

I think I've solved my problem with a Google Search. I came across a free slide show generator
(contributions requested) that shows much higher quality slide shows than either iPhoto or Aperture 3.
You click on a folder of jpegs and it almost immediately generates thumbnails and within a few seconds
I can be viewing a full screen, tack sharp, slideshow of all of the files in the folder. Much sharper than
I'm used to seeing.
I think I'll keep the Aperture 3 and use if for the purpose it's intended for in the future. I'll also redo the
image preview files to the small size it started with and then I'll copy all of the files I'm interested in from
iPhoto into a separate folder on another disk. I'll use Aperture to catalog and to perform image manipulations
on but I won't try to use it as an iPhoto replacement. I don't think I'll be using iPhoto much as an image
viewer in the future either after I finish moving my favorite pictures to the Phoenix Slides folder.
The name of the free program is Phoenix Slides. It's free to download and try, free to keep (though I
think you'd want to pay the small amount requested) and fast. My pictures have never looked so good
before.

Problems with color quality when saving photos.

I never used to have any problems, but just recently I have noticed that, after cropping, editing, resizing my photos, and saving....they look fine on my screen while open in photoshop, but yet when attaching them and emailing or posting them, the color quality seems to change. The photo ends up looking quite different than my original photo (the edited copy). I can't figure out for the life of me what is causing this and do not remember ever having this problem before. The only thing that has changed is a new monitor. I don't think that would have any bearing, because like i said, everything looks great until the photos are sent. (when looking in my sent folder, i can see the "altered" state of the image. it's not just a problem with someone elses computer settings, etc)
A newbie here with low tech skills, lol. Any help is appreciated, I would just like my pictures to be seen by others in the color state and quality as they appear to me, and it is frustrating.
I hope my explanation of my problem makes sense and look forward to any advice. (I'm hoping there is a quick solution like a setting I need to click on or off!??)
(using Elements 2.0)

Hi Amy:
Sorry that the Color Setting idea didn't do the trick. Since the occurrence is separate, that is, seeing one color view using Elements and a different color view using email view. I still suspect this area.
Calibrating a monitor to me (as the saying goes), is easier said than done. You may want to do a web search using Calibrate Monitor, or similar search words. This will find some interesting websites on calibrating monitors you can read and try out. If you do change some settings, write down what your original settings are before hand, so if you make it worse, you can go back where you started.
There are two areas to calibrate the monitor.
1. Using the monitor controls on the monitor itself.
or/and
2. Using the graphics card (software) control. Which is normally found (Win XP) DISPLAY PROPERTIES>SETTINGS>ADVANCED> then the TAB with your graphics card name.
3. Actually there is a third one, which uses a very expensive device that connects to the monitor. At the moment this method escapes me. Mainly used by professionals and serious photo editing people.
Good Luck!

Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
Thanks very much for your help.
Chleste

Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
Many thanks.

Problem with "Best Quality" DVDs

I put together a few DVDs using iDVD 6. One was a little under an hour and encoded fine with the default "Best Performance." This one plays in all the DVD players in my house, no problem. Two others were a little over an hour and iDVD 6 said there was too much information and to switch to "Best Quality." I did so and created the DVDs. They play fine on my PowerBook and iMac, but do not play in any other DVD players (which are pretty new). They appear not to be recognized ("No Disc Inserted" or it keeps spinning).
Short of cutting out some content to make things fit with "Best Performance" (not really an option), does anyone know how to get around this problem?
TIA
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Verbatim printable DVD-R
That's what I use and have very few problems with other people's players. Zero problems with my Sony players. Give it a try.
As far as burning speeds, the following includes info on how to do that by creating a disk image.
Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)
