How can I get HD quality on DVD

OK, how can I get HD quality on DVD like I can for youtube?   I use mpeg2 or H.264 for my youtube videos and they look fantastic on there.  I use the NTSC widescreen for my DVD's and they look like crap compared to my youtube videos. I even notice that my video ends are cut off a bit compared to my youtube videos.  It's like it is burning the dvd's in standard instead of HD.  I have a canon HF200 HD camcorder.   Is there a way to get that same quality on DVD?  keep it simple for me.  I'm using PE7
Thanks

Do you mean that you wish to Burn BD material to a DVD disc, or something else?
DVD is, by definition, SD material, and was designed to be viewed on a CRT TV. It is not HD, and that is what BD is all about. You cannot alter the DVD-specs., as they are written in stone. However, one can do things with a blank DVD disc. What they do, depends on what one needs.
Please let us know exactly what you want to do, and we can give you tips.
Good luck,

  • How can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor/

    how can i improve burning quality of dvd.looks fine in preview on idvd,but final burn quality is poor.

    Had same problem with iPhoto pictures and poor burn quality. Went back to original picture file and dragged images into idvd project from there. Set encoding at professional quality and burned at slowest speed. Got very good result with high quality slideshow when played on TV.
    Also tried Old Toad's Aug 30, 2011 advice to get a slideshow into iDVD with transitions, music, etc. from iPhoto.
    Again the quaility of the burned CD was very good. 

  • How can I get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly?

    I can not get a dual layer DVD+R to burn properly. The disk pops out before it's finished, usually at the end of the multiplexing stage.  iDVD seems to think the disk is still burning for about 20 more minutes although the box says "done".  I tried it with an external DVD burner with the same result.  I'm running the latest iDVD version available on a MacBook Pro running Lion.  Any ideas out there?

    Hi
    Free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - How much ?
    • for SD-Video and SL-DVD - I never go under 25Gb
    • for DL-DVD I would guess that 50Gb free is safe
    • if HD-material is used (needs space to be downscaled to SD-Vide0 as this is DVD standard) - 4-5 times more

  • How can I get high quality video that will play on my Touch as well as ATV?

    Within iMovie there are output settings for the iPod and for the Apple TV. Now I fully understand the video resolution restrictions of the iPod Touch, so I am happy using a widescreen resolution of 640x360 ("Medium" output setting). What I am not happy about is the quality of the Medium setting, which iMovie states is 1.7Mbps. The results are rather blocky to say the least. In comparison, I can output the same movie as "Large", with a res of 960x540 and a bitrate of 4Mbps, and it comes out a little soft, but the blocky artefacts have all but vanished. Unfortunately, of course, the iPod Touch won't play a video with this resolution. I have tried "Export using Quicktime" and can get good quality results. However, the video (although H.264 and 640x360) ends up NOT being compatible with my iPod Touch.
    Basically, how can I output a video of 640x360 that is of the quality I want, and that also plays on my iPod Touch? If the "Export using Quicktime" can be used to achieve this, what are the settings to use?
    Thanks.

    But why shouldn't I be able to have one video to suit both. I am happy with the resolution of 640x360, even on my ATV.
    You can. Unfortunately, your desire for both a data rate greater than 1.7 Mbps (H.264/AAC compression) and the ability to play them on an iPhone/Touch/iPod is mutually exclusive at this time. Thus, you will either have to make different files targeted for different data rates for maximum quality on each device or you make a single file using the maximum allowed data rate for playback on the "slower" device and accept the quality it produces on whichever device you are currently using. If all you want is a higher data rate, use the MPEG4 Simple Profile which allows data rates up to 2.5 Mbps. Just remember that the H.264 codec is about 2.0-2.5 times as efficient and is roughly equivalent to an MPEG-4 Simple Profile file with video encoded at 3.00-3.75 Mbps.

  • How can I get a replacement internal DVD drive?

    I bought a refurbished Toshiba P55t-A5202 a few months ago.  The internal DVD drive seems to be failing and doesn't always recognize dual-layer DVDs.  Some DVDs recognize and play fine.  Others aren't even detected and the system thinks no disk is in the drive.  I would like to replace the opical drive.  I am comforable opening up the sytem and swapping the drive, I just don't know where to buy the replacement part.  
    Does anyone know who to contact about getting a replacement internal DVD drive?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Apple may not have the replacement discs at this point, but it's worth a try. You could try giving Apple a call and see if they have them available. If they do, they will send them to you for a fee.
    You will need the serial number of the iBook when you call.

  • How can I get HD quality while using my iSight on my MBP?

    Hey Folks.
    Im interested in knowing a little more information regarding the isight cam... I want to get HD quality while video chatting with family & friends on skype & iChat. Please let me know.
    I know that there are other webcams that have HD capabilities.

    Let me know.
    Thanks.

    Yes.
    I have a web cam that can do 1.3Mp
    This App can get those that Can, to Display (And Display Only) the native format of the camera.
    iMovie is likely to be able to see it as it can handle Camcorder feeds.
    The difference you see in iMovie to iChat is the difference.
    iChat, MSN (If connected via a Exchange Server to do Video), Yahoo (Vid only no Audio) and Skype on the IM apps use 640 X 480 or in Skype's case less.
    Photo Booth seems to use the same as iChat to allow for the Composition tweaks (It uses the same Quartz files in the Compositions Folder)
    By eye Comic Life that came bundled with some Intels also seems to use 640 X 480
    So to an extent it depends what you are going to use the camera for.
    iGlasses is a cross app Add-On that can "improve" and tweak the picture in various applications such as iChat outside of what the OS and Application Software have commonly set as Defaults.
    the Adjustments tend to be within the scope set up by the manufacturer (i.e. allowing colour, white balance and Contrast and other settings the camera may have been designed for but not in the app settings)
    Quicktime Pro, if you have it, can be set in Preferences > Recording to "Device Native" which tends to allow a sort of in-between iChat and iGlasses control (some features but not all) but will work with iGlasses as well.
    It is restricted to a 4:3 format window though but this would apply to most Web cams anyway.

  • How can i get high quality slideshowpix on my DvD?

    Hy everyone,
    I tried to make my own video montage using Slideshow of iPhoto, applied Kern Burn effects and Transitions, everything was absolutely fine until imported my project to iDvD and burn my Project on DvD, the quality wasn't as excellent as i expected it to be, i set everything in Encoding as Best Quality, still nothing's happened.
    Is there anything that can be done to improve the quality of my DvDs?
    Thanks in advance,
    any suggestions is much appreciated.

    ML:
    Any slideshow created in iPhoto and ported (shared) to iDVD will not have as sharp an image quality as those created in iDVD from the stills. That's irrespective of whether you use the KB effect or not. The slideshow gets converted to a Quicktime movie and then in iDVD it's encoded for a second manipulation of the image file. Created in iDVD the stills go thru only one process, the encoding by iDVD.
    That being said, you might give a look at Photo to Movie. It's reported to produce better results with the KB effects and general conversion to Quicktime. It also can add text and music. Might be worth playing with the demo version.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • How can I get good quality screen recordings on a mac?

    I am a web designer. I have a few customers who I make video tutorials for so they can find their way around their website. I have been using Quicktime Screen Recording to make videos so far. The quality is great when I view the origional movies on my own computer but when I export them to Youtube via Quicktime or export the movie as a .MOV file, the quality is lost. So I end up sending a video to my customers to watch that is fuzzy and out of focus.
    What I want to be able to do is upload high quality, sharp video tutorial to a 3rd party video hosting platform like Youtube.
    There are a number of paid apps on the app store for screen casting, but I am not if they would be any better than Quicktime.
    I am willing to pay for an app if it does what I need but I would rather use the software that ships with the Mac if possible.
    I am using a mid 2009 MacBook Pro. The screen on the laptop is not high resolution, the 27 inch monitor i am using is (I don't know if that will effect the video quality)
    Has anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks - Seb

    Your problem is not with the screen recording app but with YouTube's method of making the movie smaller when you upload it.  You could try using Vimeo or some other service instead of YouTube.  But I suspect that you will get best results by experimenting with exporting to different video formats before uploading it to YouTube.  Everyone's in love with MP4 at the moment.  A lower resolution in MP4 won't undergo so much compression at YouTube's end.  Best advice from YouTube is here:
    http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1722171&topic=28886 48&ctx=topic
    The resolution of your capture area will definitely change how much compression is applied to your video.  If what you're demonstrating allows it, you should be capturing a smaller area than your entire display.  Remember that the smaller the file that you deliver to YouTube, the less YouTube will compress it at their end.
    And lastly, remember YouTube is a free service: you pay nothing and get what you paid for.  If you want to host exactly what you want, get your own server and pay for your own bandwidth.  Then you get as much resolution as you like.

  • How can I get another Installation Disc (DVD) for my CS5 Application

    I lost one of my DVD installation discs from my CS5 set.  I called Adobe and they said it was an older version and they don't have a link for me.  Does anyone know how I can get ahold of the CS5 Application disc???

    Welcome to the forum.
    Adobe used to offer replacement discs for a minor charge.
    However, that was usually for ONLY the current version - nothing available before. Once a version passed into history, the replacement discs were history too.
    With the advent of Ps CC, I am not even sure if the Ps CS 6 replacement dics would be available now.
    I would contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support), and inquire.
    Good luck,

    Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

  • How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my iphones 4 and my ipad 2?

    How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my two iphones4 and my ipad2?
    Since more than 6 monthes I can't use
    * video for more than 5 minutes,
    * tv-streams for more than 5 minutes,
    * apple store updates in case of more than one update,
    * itunes download in case of more than one download object,
    * remote control
    * air play with appletv3
    without errors.
    On ios 6.x (incl. 6.1.2) all important apple media integration are just useless.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

    Hold down the mouse button when shutting down,  If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.
