HELP!! RT Menu No High Quality Setting?

Is this a limitation of my machine.
I Have a high quality option on my powerbook G4 1.5GHz, but none is shown on my dual 500GHz G4. Seems like they should be about the same. Am I missing a setting?

If your original is HD material export to QuickTime Movie.
There is no setting because AIC uses a fixed data rate.

  • Youtube "High Quality" Setting

    Youtube has the High Quality option for some clips on youtube that are 640x480.
    Is there anyway for appletv to select this option if not how do I let the devs know to implement this RIGHT AWAY.

    It was my understanding that AppleTV defaulted to the high quality option, if not avaiable then it shows the crappier version.
    That's my understanding as well. I've actually been pleasantly surprised with the quality of some of the YT vids on my aTV/plasma.
    Here's a little tip for the YouTubers out there......
    (This tip is applicable on YT's website, not through aTV.)
    On most any video on YT where a "High Quality" tag is not offered, simply take the url for that vid and add "&fmt=18". Don't enter the quotations.
    Here's a good example......
    One of those Mac/PC adds in Standard def........

    (Notice how there's not an option for "High Quality" on that vid.
    Same vid but with HQ code........
    http://youtube.com/watch?v=KNnX6XRQBec&fmt=18
    (Notice how now there's an option for "Standard Quality".)
    If you're really a YT fan, this might be useful to you.
    Enjoy.

    hello. a quick question.
    when exporting a footage from fce as a quicktime movie in hdv 1080i format, why is it that there is no section for quality settings? because it automatically puts "medium" next to the quality button, whereas i'd naturally would like to see it saying "high"

  • Grayscale; black ink only or High Quality

    I have the HP Photosmart C4600 series, and I was curious about how to make my ink last the longest. I am just printing assignments, nothing that needs to be super nice looking. I selected print in grayscale but I wasn't sure which would be best for me, the high quality or black ink only. 
    Thank you for your help,
    Crystal 

    The "high quality" setting will use the color cartridge for better graphics quality, the "black only" setting will use the black cartrdige only.
    For best economy use "black only" and print in draft or econofast mode.

  • Quicktime Screen Recording - Higher quality missing

    Everywhere I've read that Quicktime screen recording has a medium and a higher quality setting, but when I try to do a screen recording, it doesn't give me any quality options. It just has options for the microphone. See the attached photo.
    How can I get it to give me an option for high quality screen recording? The default seems to be lower quality, which I can't use. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    I have the same question, and have looked at the answers here. I am not trying to answer your question, just add to it.
    I have used snapz pro x and find that I like that way quicktime displays whats on your screen with the same amount of lag that will be in the finished video, while snapz does not. surely there is a way, deep in preferences or maybe even in terminal, that will enable me to take higher quality images in my screen recordings. I find the audio is fine but the image is what I have a problem with. I dont have the 100+ dollars to spend on other screen recording software, and would really appreciate some help.
    thanks,

  • How to always playback DV as "high quality"

    Is there an Applescript or a preference setting to always use the High Quality setting for DV playback? Apple introduced this feature back with 400MHz was considered fast (and High Quality was a real strain on the CPU). But any modern Mac >1GHz can playback High Quality mode DV without any problem.
    Right now, Quicktime Player requires that I turn on High Quality after digging through settings... for each movie!

    There is a "Use High Quality" check box in the Player's General preferences.
    I've never been able to view any difference in either setting.
    Since checking the box in the Movie Properties window must be done after export remember to do a save as to preserve fast start features in Web based files.
    But nearly file I open already has this box checked. This implies that the feature can be overruled by the Player preferences or removing the check mark in Movie Properties.

    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

  • All my pdf files can be printed in low quality on my Brother printer but can't print in high quality in the printer menu.

    My problem is that all my pdf files can be printed when I choose "low quality printing" in my Brother printer menu but cannot be printed in "high quality". When trying to print in high quality, the documents load in the printer tray and it says 1 document then disappears and 0 document printing is showing. I have some pdf files that I want to print in color in high quality and black and white but I'm unable to do so. It only prints in low quality for both color and black and white.

  • Low quality DVD outcome.. need help for high quality result ASAP!

    Hi every 1,
    (This is my first post, as I only got my iMac 2 weeks ago.. so please be gentle with me :P   )
    I have just been asked to turn a Microsoft powerpoint (PPT) into a DVD for "induction training video" purposes with voice overs and backing music. I have a professional music studio so providing high quality audio is fine, but trying to turn the power point into a high quality DVD file is my problem. This powerpoint has timing transitions (fade ins etc) for the timing of voice gaps. When using Microsoft PPT, you can turn the PPT into a Quicktime file which I was going to drop into iMoive then add the music and voiceovers.. this is when my problems started. Microsofts powerpoint doesn't add the transtiions and effect into render Quicktime movie, so I thought as my new iMac has iWork (KEYNOTE) I'd give it a try and to my surprise it all worked and the final mpeg4 quicktime movie result work great _when you look at it on the MAC_.
    1) Problem
    I then exported the file into iMovie and then my first Problem arose.... (grr). I movie lost it's sharpness and the images started to have pixelation.. that seemed to pulse in 1 seconds gaps.
    I hope this was just an issue with the iMovie preview window and thought once I put it into iDVD and burnt it... the final result may be fine.. but I was wrong and the quality was crap... with the pixelation still there.
    2) Problem
    The other problem that came up was the about 25% of the edge of the total screen was cutoff. When i did the original file, I choose 4:3 ratio, and watched it on this..so where did the image size go wrong.. I also choose the "high quality" Quicktime file, but didn't go into the settings in the iMovie in the export section (which I should off), but after check the compression type was H.264.. and I also didn't change any settings in the 'export file' section in KEYNOTE.. this is where I think I must have gone wrong..
    So in closing. my questions is:
    -What's the best way to turn a PPT into a _high quality file_ so it looks professional once it goes through iMovie and iDVD.. or
    - Should I just redo the whole production using iMovie ( by re doing all the work eg wording, transistion inside iMovie seems like a lot of extra word ) and so not use the PPT at all... and if I do this, then
    - What's sizes, and ratio and compressions should I use for 4:3 ratio TV purpose (eg. whats size should a background image be that I do inside Photoshop, so I can put the transition wording over the top, so I see it on the TV screen and the edge doesn't get cutoff etc.?
    I was very impressed with Keynote and would be happy to use this for most of the production.. but am I banging my head againist a wall...re fixing quality problems when exporting files into... can someone shed some light on this for me?
    Sorry this is such a big post.. but I thought if I gave you most of the background you would have to ask so many questions.
    Look forward to any help any 1 can provide..

    Matti,
    Thx so much for your help.. it's really appreciated. This is by far the best result quality wise, (but I really am a perfectionist and personally are still not overall happy with the final product) but if my client is happy.. then I will continue down this track for this job.
    ie Create TIFF;'s>Quicktime PRO>iMovie (transistions)>iDvd
    You've been a great help and I hope it good enough for the client.
    I find the images and wording lose their sharpness only after being imported into iMoive. I could still be probably enhance the quality level of the TIFF's once more, as I did the test slides in Keynote, then exported the 5 slides a individual as TIFFS out of Keynote, then imported the into QuickTime Pro as you suggested then followed your instructions all the way to the final burning of the CD. I also tried doing this in Photoshop using your suggestion of 720x576 images (for PAL) .. pixel aspect ratio to ~1.094 so you can see the correct proportions for 4:3 video output. When creating the new slide in Photoshop there were a few extra settings other than the ones you gave me... _so I would real appreciate what every setting should be when creating the NEW TIFF file in Photoshop for PAL 4:3._ I noticed when I did this the image crispness on the fonts was shithouse pixelated and shadows, even while looking at it from inside Photoshop )
    As I tried mutliple ways of importing into iMovie (yours being the best suggestion) I really believe when dragging a TIFF or movie turns to blur on the way into iMoive. You can see the image is blurred from that point on.... _do I need to buy final cut pro or express to get a better image quality result?_
    I also tried iMoive7, which I found was great to use video editing wise, but Apples has definitely stuffed up there by not give users a 'time line' to work with in the Audio section... but everything else in the video area was great to use.., but in my situation trying to line up the narration to slide, while having also background music is now impossible sadly.
    Also I really like the 3D transitions in KEYNOTE, plus iMovie 7.. do you know if there are available for HD6 or if there's a 3rd party company that has smilar versions
    Thx again,

  • Help! Integrating high quality images and video.

    I'm trying to create a relatively short slideshow with high resolution images (~3MB) and a couple of short video clips.
    iMovie 6.0.3 ruins my pictures. They're blurry and pixelated. Is there a new version of iMovie that can help me import high quality pictures?
    I don't need to create a DVD per se. I could just hook up my computer to a TV screen or use my laptop screen for presentation purposes.
    What should I do?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    avoid using iMovieHD6, which is mainly meant to deliver content to TV = low res, low color profile, low framerate, interlacing..
    use any specialized tool as PhotoMagico or Photo2movie..
    you can slightly improve slideshow's quality, by setting up a HiDef project (720p/1080i), export as h264 and set the QTplayer app to 'high' ..
    aside: the Preview in iM shows a reduced quality of projects .. never judge pic quality of iM on a computer..
    and, don't hesitate to make use of the forum's Search feature.. we have approx. 5000 threads concerning pic quality..

  • Rectangular Pixel Setting: Where? (also tips for higher quality?)

    The bottom line: Where can I find the setting -- in Final Cut, in Compressor, or in DVD Studio Pro -- to use rectangular instead of square pixels on export (or burn or wherever)?
    The story: I'm trying to burn a DVD for a friend of our kids' jazz concert.  It looks great on computer.  Once in DVD Studio Pro's simulate function, though, all the the performers look slightly stretched.  They look that way on TV, too.  My understanding is that this is due to the difference in computer and TV pixel shapes and that there is a setting somewhere to address it.
    These are my settings in Compressor. If that helps.  And, if anyone can recommend settings for higher quality (I'm getting some stepping which looks lousy on big TVs), I would love to hear them

  • Help with getting high quality DVDs from AVCHD footage

    Hello,
    I know enough about video editing with PE7 to be dangerous, and was hoping someone could help me out.
    My question is regarding getting the highest quality standard DVD from AVCHD footage. I have a Sony HDR-SR12 camcorder recording in AVCHD. I am editing footage natively in AVCHD with PE7 on a quad core system. No problem with that. However, when I export to standard DVD the quality of the video goes down drastically. (Yes, I know burning to Blu-ray would give me higher quality, but I am giving this DVD to a friend who doesn't have Blu-ray).
    So far I have tried starting my project in both HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
    General
    Editing mode: HDV 1080i
    Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 1440h 1080v (1.333)
    Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD Anamorphic 1080 (1.333)
    and Full HD 1080i 30 5.1 channel:
    General
    Editing mode: HD 1080i
    Timebase: 29.97 fps
    Video Settings
    Frame size: 1920h 1080v (1.000)
    Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    But I see no discernable difference in the quality of my output onto DVD.
    This is where my knowledge is lacking...how can I get the best quality output from my AVCHD onto a standard DVD? Is there some format I can convert to first, and then burn to DVD? Also, I am willing to break the footage into a couple of DVDs to improve the quality, but I don't know how or what to do for that.
    My footage looks REALLY great when viewing from the HDR-SR12 direct to HD TV with HDMI cable, but not very good on the DVD. My footage is of a ballet recital, and I lose definition in the faces, costumes, etc on the DVD output.
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Hey Gina,
    This may be a year late, but as I have been pulling my hair out trying to solve this problem for the last 48 hours I finally did find somewhat of a work around, but it requires Adobe PP CS4.2.
    There is a plug-in here:
    http://www.mainconcept.com/site/prosumer-products-4/mpeg-pro-hd-7850/features-7861.html
    Which will actually output your edit as an AVCHD file. You can then burn this straight to an AVCHD using Nero 9 and keep the highquality level of your clips and not need Blu-Ray. The DVD player will need to be AVCHD capable, but I just bought one of those for $40 as compared to the $200+ of most Blu-Ray players.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards,
    DSW
