How do I maximize quality when recording from HD DVR to DVD RECORDER?!

Does anyone know the best way to copy from your HD DVR Cable Box to this Panasonic DVD Recorder?  WHen I set it up as Best Buy Recommended, the quality I was previewing was HORRIBLE...any recommendations since it has tons of inputs/outputs?
THANKS!
CHAD

THANKS....
MY only concern is that I do not recall the 1080p, I thought my only option was 1080i.
I am not as dumb as I sound!!! LOL
THE HDMI to TV is that from the DVR?

  • Does improving bit rate improve quality when importing from a lossy file?

    Okay, if that question made no sense, here's an example:
    I have a 5 Megabyte file encoded as an MP3 at 192 kbps.
    I like to keep all my files in one format though, and currently my preferred format is AAC.
    Would it make sense to convert it to 320 kbps AAC?
    I get the feeling that since the data for that bitrate is gone (since MP3 is lossy)
    it wouldn't make any sense trying to improve the bitrate. All I would get is a large file
    that sounds the same as 192 kbps AAC.
    Is that right?

    Yes and No.
    You are right that converting to 320kpbs AAC will not increase the quality since the data is already gone.
    However for the next but you are slightly wrong.
    What you will get is a large file that sounds the same as 192kbps MP3, which is not as good as 192kbps AAC (AAC is better quality than MP3 at the same bitrate).
    Also, there is always a loss in quality when going from one lossy format to another.
    If it's possible to go and re-encode the original source material at a higher bit-rate AAC I would definately do that, but if all you have is the 192kpbs MP3, then just leave them as they are and don't worry about having different formats.

  • Internal mic poor quality when recording in iMovie

    I noticed exceptionally poor quality of internal mic when recording acoustic guitar piece on iMovie, with the built in iSight camera. Technically, the sound is called "Phasing" - it sounds like a slow 'whoosh' over all of the audio.
    After investigation, I have found the cause to be the Ambient Noise Reduction algorithm added by Apple.
    To remove this - go to:
    System Preferences
    Sound
    Input
    *uncheck* 'use ambient noise reduction'
    Problem solved....
    Now my question - does anyone know how to use the iSight (built in) and simultaneously and synchronously record audio using an External Mic - eg the Blue "Snowball" - which is a USB mic.
    In theory, the mic should plug in and then show up as an external device, but when I select iSight camera as my video source - the Powerbook automatically assumes that I want to use the internal mic as my audio source.
    Have tried to go to Sys Prefs and change 'Input' to USB - but no option to do so
    All help appreciated
    SK

    Hi thanks for the response
    unfortunately, it's got nothing to do with MIDI (which is just a series of controller information)
    The Blue 'Snowball' External mic is essentially a 'USB Device' and should be recognised as such by the Mac. The data will come in as 16bit, 44.1khz AES bit stream and then be assigned a destination.
    The problem is that iMovie does NOT allow me to separate the iSight camera from recording with 'internal mic'
    I want a way of finding how to seperate them - and then assign the USB mic to be associated with the iSight camera - giving me iMovie/iSight videos - with PROFESSIONAL sound
    sorry if i didn't make this clear
    thanks again

  • Poor Quality When Imported From FCP

    Hello I have been having issues when importing a QT files into After Effects. When exported from FCP and imported into After Effects the footage loses significant quality, maybe a little interlaced. Ive checked and double checked fields, Im exporting in animation. Ive done both QT movie and QT conversion with the same result. Also it happens with files exported from FCP from other computers. Ive checked export settings & coposition settings. Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    Thanks. That is what makes the most sense to me. How do I elect how After Effects interprets the footage? I went to preferences but couldn't find anything that fixed the problem there.
    See the help system for Interpret Footage.
    It's a right-click dropdown form the project pane. Select a footage item, Interpret Footage.
    Thank you Lower Fields first was selected

  • Losing audio quality when exporting from premiere pro

    I have now had this happen with two different videos. I play the video in premiere pro and the audio is fine. I export the video and lose most of the quality of the audio portion. One project is a music session when exported I only get the main vocal the drums aren't audible only a buzz sound is made where the kick drum would usually come in. On another project is a thank you video for a family member and the audio is distorted after being exported. The audio sounds fine inside of the session. Once exported the audio will still work fine on my computer and my iphone 5s as long as I'm wearing headphones, once I try to play the video through my iphone 5s speakers the audio quality is gone, making the noises as previously stated. My iphone can still play other tracks fine but videos and audio exported from Premiere Pro are distorted. Any advice on how I can export the video so I wont lose audio quality when playing the video on an iphone? I know it's not my iphone speakers, they play other songs just fine.

    The source files as far as the audio goes are wav files that I've pulled off of my desktop. My sequence settings are 1920 by 1080 at 29.97 frames per second. The export settings are H.264 with the preset YouTube (HD 1080 29.97 FPS) and I've also tried HD video 1080p 29.97 FPS. If this isn't enough information please let me know I'm in the learning phase. Audio wise the quality is set to high and I'm exporting at 4800 kh and a bit rate of 190. I've also tried a bit rate of 320 and 264 I think it is and still had the same problems.  Let me know if I need to do screen shots I really want to figure this out.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How to avoid the dialogue when converting from context menu

    This is a follow-up to http://forums.adobe.com/message/2016146#443364 which was locked due to a bug.
    i would like to know how i can avoid the 'save as' dialogue when using the context menu to convert a word file to pdf using windows XP/acrobat 8/word 2007.
    so far, it always prompts me for the filename, which is annoying as it does not allow me to batch-convert several files and let the thing run its course.
    the solution provided by Steve in the other thread does not work - even if the plugin from word does not propt for a filename, it still does when triggered from explorer/context menu.
    so back to square one: how to avoid that dialogue when not opening word at all?
    cheers, thanks for any help. michael

    For a permanent change, START>PRINTERS>right click on Adobe PDF printer and select properties>General>Printing Preferences>Adobe PDF Settings. Under the settings tab, uncheck the box related to asking for a name. Pretty sure that is the location, but it may vary with version.

  • How can I delete photos when importing from iPhone 4

    I'm using Aperture 3.13 on Mac OS X 10.7.1.  When I import photos from my iPhone 4 I am never asked to delete files from the camera roll.
    What am I doing wrong?  How can I have Aperture delete photos from the camera roll once they are imported?

    When you upgrade attached to iTunes a backup copy is made...then after the upgrade the backup is used to restore all the content to your iDevice, assuming you are actually talking about upgrading from iOS 4 to iOS 5.

  • Bad image quality when importing from word

    When importing from MS Word 2003 to RH X5.0.2, embedded
    images are converted to jpg whith an obviously quite moderate
    compression qulity. This is particularly evident for screenshots.
    Is there a way to improve the image quality?

    Peter , these images were copied and pasted directly in to
    the Word-document (using the Print Screen button) but I did find
    out something. RoboHelp generates two image files of the types PNG
    and JPG for each Word image (named, e.g., image102.png and
    image103.jpg). Regretably, the lesser quality JPG is always
    referenced in the topics instead of the much better PNG. Sometimes
    the two images greately differ in size (pixel size), but most of
    the time they are about the same size.
    So the task might be to change the references in all topics
    using a script and then manually checking the images for their
    size.
    An observation: Any GIF images in the Word file (i.e., real
    *.gif files that were inserted over the Insert menue) remain GIF
    files after the import, they are not converted and maintain a good
    quality.

  • How? Minimize image length when dragging from Project Pane to Timeline

    Greetings Gurus.
    How do you keep an image, dragged from the project panel to the timeline, from spanning the entire composition length?
    Images pulled to the timeline always span the entire composition. When you have a hundred clips, and only need two seconds or so, resizing each clip in a four minute composition is ... well, time consuming. Even dragging to the time and layer order just pushes it off the composition end, and still requires resizing.
    Has to be an easy answer. Ready for my Homer Simpson "Doh!".
    Thanks in advance
    Gr33nE99s

    To reset the out point of 100 layers press Ctrl/Cmnd + a while in the Timeline, move the CTI (current time indicator) to the desired out point, then press Ctrl/Cmnd + ]
    Using the [ key sets the in poing.
    or, as has been mentioned you can reset the default duration for still images in Preferences.

  • Problems losing quality when going from develop module to library module ??  anyone have a fix

    Problems losing quality when going to library module from develop module.  Sharpness and color quality decrease

    This is normal. There will be a difference as you are comparing Library Previews with the image in Develop which accesses the original file, although the difference is usually slight. Real results need to be judged from exporting after selecting the output sharpening e.g. for glossy paper, if printing or screen sharpening for web images or emailing.
    The idea with sharpening is to apply capture sharpening so that the image in Develop looks just sharp but not over sharp. Lightroom then uses the correct algorithm for output sharpening based upon image size and quality settings etc.

  • How new objects are instantiated when reading from object stream?

    Hi,
    How the serializable API instantiates new objects when reading from stream?
    First it needs to create a new instance of a class and then fill its' fields with a serialized data. But not all serializable classes have empty constructor (as it have java beans) to make simple call of Class.newInstance(). Is there any way to create a virgin instance of any class?
    Ant�n

    I found the way, but it is not a solution:
    Constructor serializableConstructor = sun.reflect.ReflectionFactory.getReflectionFactory().newConstructorForSerialization( Class instanceClass, Constructor superClassEmptyConstructor );
    Object obj = serializableConstructor.newInstance();This "magic" method creates an empty constructor for a serializable class from empty constructor of any superclass. The limitation is that a first non-serializable superclass must have an empty constructor.
    As this magic method locates in a package sun.** I think this will not work with other JREs.

  • How to use Photoshop CS6 when booted from a different partition?

    I have CS6 installed.  I recently created a second partition on my SSD for development in OS X 10.10.  When booted from that drive, I get an error that CS6 was not properly installed and to re-install it.
    This is a smaller partition, with just the system and a few development apps, and I'd prefer to continue to run my larger apps from the original, larger partition. 
    Of course, every app I have tried does this with no issues except CS6.  I usually need to re-enter app serials, but they work.
    What files need to be copied from one partition to the other to let the app boot up?

    They work fine. I first tried with a clone of my main drive doing an update in place on it.
    i guess I will need to boot into 10.9 to use them.
    I will mostly use stand-in apps like Pixelmator.
