Help! movies in idvd look terrible, washed-out with random horizontal lines

i'm exporting them from final cut pro (where they look great) as quicktimes (29.97) using the animation compression, best quality and millions of colors... is this the best way to bring them into idvd? should i try an mpeg4 instead? the project was originally shot on film and looked great. now, when i play the dvd, it's a fuzzy washed-out mess... please help...
thanks!

I don't have FCP but I believe you should use the DV codec.
So try DV/DVCPRO-NTSC (or DV-PAL if you happen to use PAL).

Spreadsheets print out with missing horizontal lines

I've searched the archives on this with no luck.
Ever since migrating to my new iBook G4 (OS 10.4.2), some horizontal grid lines in my AW spreadsheets do not print out. Some do. Some don't. All vertical lines print out okay, though. When printing, I DO enable the "print cell grid" option.
I'm using AW 6.2.9. I never had this problem with my older iBook. Any help you can suggest will be appreciated. THANKS.

Having made a similar observation, I posed the same question a few months ago -- the same spreadsheet, printing to the same printer, will print the lines in AW5, but not in AW6. There seems to be no definitive answer, but I had to print the spreadsheet while I was away, and to my surprise (and on a different printer), the grid lines printed. The only thing I can surmise is that it is somehow related to printer drivers.

hi there,
could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? Things like your printer model and your operating system help out a lot.

Why do my photos in "photos" look so washed out compared to iPhoto?

I don't like "PHOTOS," and I don't know why Apple came out with it for OS10. My pictures look washed out compared to how they look in iPhoto I can't just click on a photo and see it in full screen. What am I missing?

I took them with various cameras. But that isn't important. I'm comparing how the same photos look in Photos and how they look in iPhoto. They look better in iPhoto.

Why does the screen "wash out" with the statement "Firefox is not responding" This happens at least once in each session.

I am not sure what more details I can provide. Suddenly, the cursor for the mouse will freeze, the screen washes out. You can still see the underlying webpage faintly. After a few seconds, the problem corrects itself and Firefox resumes normal operation. This happens with the new Firefox 4 as well as the previous version.
It is major annoyance.

My situation got worse. FF 3.6.12 started doing that; then it just stopped loading. Since then, I have uninstalled & reinstalled, moved my profile to force it to make new one, set it so that it is not the default browser, installed in different drive on computer, cleaned out regedit, ran a spyware program, & nothing. It starts to load then hangs up almost immediately. This has been going on for about 3 days & I'm about ready to chunk it. Any ideas?

Help mov files can not be viewed, created with digital camera

My vacation vids where made with a panasonic lumix z7 camera. the files sizes are 158000, 175000,168000,225457. they all are named my the camera and end with .mov. quicktime does not know what theses files are. windows does not see these files as quicktime files and nothing can read them. i do not know what the camera did to corrupt these videos. Can anyone help me with these files. Is there a way to repair them? please help me if you can.
file names are p1010816.mov etc

I updated the program, and my pics were still there, but they could'nt be viewed in full...just thumbnails.
What could you see? A ! ? Or a ? Or just a plain black or white screen?
I cannot add JPG's to iPhoto.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Monitor freaks out with colorful blotches/lines; often precedes crash

I have a first gen iMac g5 20 in. The mother board was replaced as was the power supply under Apple's replacement program. I have subsequently replaced the power supply again. I also wiped the HD and reinstalled 10.5.
Basically, shortly after booting up, the graphics freak out. A strange colorful shift will happen, or window elements will ghost with vertical lines. Often it will crash after doing this. Sometimes if I stop immediately and let it fall to sleep, I can wake it back up and use it again, but eventually (minutes, not hours) this will happen again and crash.
I took it to the apple store. My only recourse was to replace the moboard. I reminded them they'd done that once. That's my only choice. I've had fizzled graphics cards in the past and that's exactly what this feels like. Apparently it's part of the board.
Here's the deal. Is it reasonable in anybody's mind to have to replace your motherboard twice in the life of your machine? I had an powermac g3 that lasted for 10 years, until I retired it to my wife's classroom, where it still works.
Has anyone else had this ongoing issue with this model? It seems absurd to buy a machine for $1500 that in order to keep functioning after 5 years is to pay another 900 to replace the mother board.
Are there any other solutions?
Thanks,
Matt

Toot,
I bought Apple for the product quality.....so what gives?
These logic boards and power supplies were all victims of the "capacitor plague".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague
"Circa 2005 Dell will spend some US $150 million replacing the motherboards entirely and another $150 million on the logistics of determining whether a system is in need of replacement. HP reportedly purged its product line in 2004. The motherboards and power supplies in Apple iMac G5s[3] and some eMacs[4] were also affected."
So we've got 18 Dell boards at school that failed after Dell stopped their recall. They have twice as many caps as a G5 logic board.
It's so common it's the first thing I look for if something fails and it has 'lytics in it.

My mac screen comes out with white fuzzy lines going across the screen, it used to just go back to normal and out of no where it freezes and the white fuzzy lines go across the screen. Now it is frozen at the opening screen. what do i do?

My mac screen is frozen with white fuzzy lines going across the screen. I shut it off and turn it back on but it still remains white fish lines on the start up screen. I've tried revolting it, it works sometimes but now its stuck at the starting screen. I have been at this for 2 hours to try and fix it but nothing has changed about the screen. What do I do, if I break this computer I'm screwed.

I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

I used te be able to zoom in & out with my horizontal mousewheel but that does not work anymore, how do i get that feature back?

I am using an A4-Tech X6-90D

THANK YOU! So easy, now I feel stupid. ;)
Sorry, Firefox 4.0 is driving me nuts in many ways, this is just one of them.

Pantone uncoated swatches look washed out

I'm somewhat green on the print side of things. I understand that pantone coated vs uncoated are formulated for printing on coated or uncoated papers.
But what I'm not getting is, why do the uncoated color swatches in the illustrator color book look so washed out? The coated swatches look very vibrant. Is this just a visual approximation of how the colors will look after absorbed into uncoated paper? They just look so dramatically different, I can't really match a rich color I'm trying to reproduce with any of the uncoated swatches (for a projecct being printed on uncoated paper stock).
Any help is much appreacited!

In terms of the physical PANTONE guides, when comparing colors on coated vs. uncoated paper, the ink and formulation are identical (although the ink film thickness, or density, can vary somewhat between the two papers). The visual difference between PANTONE 185 C, and PANTONE 185 U, for example, is caused entirely by the surface characteristics of the respective papers.
In licensed software applications, such as Adobe Illustrator CS6, the colors in the coated vs. uncoated libraries are an attempt to simulate onscreen the differences caused by the different papers. However, the other individuals in this thread are entirely correct - you should always use the printed PANTONE product as the final arbiter of color correctness. Any computer display, even one that is properly calibrated and profiled, will exhibit some degree of variance with respect to display of color in general, and PANTONE colors in particular. You should never fully trust the onscreen display of color.

Why are my images so washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop?

I am new to Pages. I have some beautiful .jpeg CMYK files I am importing into a Pages template, and they look completely washed out in pages compared to how they look in Photoshop. Is this just a preview mode or will they look this bad if I print the file at a print on demand site like HP Magcloud?
Thanks!
O

Hmmmmm...
Well, I'm not sure about what my color management is set to in photoshop, but its color LCD for the mac in system preferences. As the printer is a print on demand site its not so easy to run tests. The thing is, they want the images as a PDF, but I am loosing quality pringing it into pages, would it be different if i created the PDF directly from photoshop (is that even possible?)
paper options are:
60#, 80# or 100# matte text stock options with Saddle Stitch Binding
80# premium cover stock, 80# matte text stock with Perfect Binding
the site says this:
If you are creating your PDF in a different program like Microsoft Word or Publisher, or Apple Pages, you’ll want to save your images based on whether they were CMYK or RGB to begin with. If they were CMYK to begin with, they should be saved as CMYK. If they were RGB to begin with, saving them with an sRGB colorspace will give you the best output.
I already changed them in photoshop from RGB to CMYK, is it too late to change back? where is the sRGB option anyway?
Thanks,
O

Washed out picture

Hi all,
Since I upgraded to Quicktime 7.3 everything I try to watch looks really washed out. I played with the A/V ontrols but nothing helps. Also if I try to upgrade from the quicktime menu bar it brings up an error msg and shuts itself down so fast I can't even read the error msg.
Is there anything I can do?
Erin

+Since I upgraded to Quicktime 7.3 everything I try to watch looks really washed out.+
With that one, try the "Disable Direct3D video acceleration in QuickTime" section from the following document. (iTunes uses QuickTime for video playback, so the same basic troubleshooting techniques apply.)
