How to get better resolution on Blu-ray (1080/60i)

I'm experimenting with my new AG-AC160A camcorder and have been shooting youth hockey games in AVCHD mode, 1080/60i, 1/120 shutter, manual gain and white balance set appropriately, and florescent scene file setting due to lighting in rink. I have PP CS5 and am disappointed with the relative lack of HD-crispness when the Blu-ray output is played on my HD LED set. I used the above settings based on recommendations I saw in the forum somewhere. Any suggestions on what I can try differently? Thank you.

To elaborate on Ann's great advice, the Sequence preset you should be using is AVCHD 1080i30 (60i).
A good way to start out with the correct sequence is to import your clips and then drag one onto the "New Item" icon at lower right of Project Bin. This will create a new sequence to match the source material automatically. As Ann mentioned, you have a non-HD preview format, so if you rendered the timeline to green, and checked "Use Previews" on the final export, then your Blu-ray could have "SD quality" footage in it!!
Curious why the 1/120 shutter, hoping to get better action motion?
If you have a current timeline using the incorrect settings, go ahead and add a NEW Sequence with correct settings, open original sequence and "Select All" which is CRTL + A, then CTRL + C to Copy. Then go to the proper AVCHD sequence and Ctrl + V to Paste entire contents. You will now have the edited sequence moved into correct sequence settings. Now use Export and in AME choose "H.264 Blu-ray" and choose the 1080i preset and export, then use results in Encore. The Blu-ray should look excellent when done correctly.
When exporting from AME, do NOT check the box for "Use Previews", as you want to encode direct from original source and skip any intermediate render clips.

  • How to get better resolution on graphical borders in Pages?

    When using the «line effect» on a picture frame and choose a «image border», these borders a very pixelated and low resoltion when i.e. printing on a quality printer. Seems to be only screen resolution (100-150 dpi)? Is this a bug in Pages – how to get better resolution for these borders when exporting for example to PDF?

    Here you see the issue. The Document's size is A6 landscape, means 14.8x10.5 cm, and it prints and shows really pixelated

  • Satellite L775-13D: How to get full screen playing Blu-ray on TV

    Hello,
    I want to play bluray DVDs direct from my laptop to my LG 42inch plasma. I can connect via HDMI but a small portion of the sides and bottom are cut off on the TV. How do I make the image play on my TV without any quality loss as if I had a bluray player connected to my TV? Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    >no, i have the picture on the laptop and tv.
    Try to setup the output only to TV and check if the external resolution is set to the same resolution which is supported by TV. I assume the TV supports the full HD resolution which is: 1920x1080px

  • How do I get better resolution on my ipad2 camera

    How to get better resolution from my ipad2 camera

    The resolution of the camera is tied to hardware not software.  As James Ward4 said,  keep the lens clean and shot in the best lighting possible.  Shooting in dim light is the same as any other point and shoot camera.  The camera will try to compensate by slowing the shutter down so you will probably introduce camera shake into the mix which will blur the image unless you have the iPad stabalized on some type of tripod or camera mount.

  • How to ensure iTunes download in blu-ray combo pack?

    When purchasing a blu-ray combo pack, how can you determine if the digital copy will be honored by the iTunes Store? Is there a certain logo to look for?  I am seeing less packs with the actual iTunes logo.  The words "works with iTunes" is meaningless since that might mean they expect you to copy a file from their web site into iTunes OR add an extension to iTunes.  I'm looking for some way to ensure the code in the combo pack is REDEEMABLE from the iTunes Store.
    Prior to every other provider popping up, I would always purchase the blu-ray combo pack before buying the download directly from iTunes. After getting burned a few times by mediocre companies with proprietary downloads I stopped buying discs altogether. With over 1,000 owned movies from iTunes, countless purchased TV seasons, eight AppleTV devices, and multiple iPads and iPhones, I really do not want to move away from Apple.
    Thanks, in advance.

    Wow, you're locked into the Apple ecosystem!
    Here's how to tell:
    If it says "Digital Copy", then it's iTunes compatible. Usually, you have to go to the Film Distributor's website, enter the code, then it passes you iTunes for download. Sometimes it's just copying from a DVD to your hard drive (which you can then use in iTunes).
    If it says "Ultraviolet Digital", you're not going to be able to use it in iTunes. I've not seen any that are just Ultraviolet.
    See this link at Amazon. It has links to each of the major studios, all of which have slightly different rules and policies.

  • How to get better perform here

    hi there,
    bellow code is using with in the loop. how can i modify to get better performance.
    SELECT knumv kposn kwert FROM konv
                                    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF lt_konv
                                     WHERE knumv EQ lt_output-knumv
                                     AND kposn EQ lt_output-posnr
                                     AND kschl EQ 'VPRS'.
            COLLECT lt_konv.
          ENDSELECT.
    thx in adv.

    the better solution for the select statement whould be to use the aggreagte function sum for the field kwert:
    SELECT knumv kposn sum(kwert)
                 FROM konv
                 INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table lt_konv
                 WHERE knumv EQ lt_output-knumv
                       AND kposn EQ lt_output-posnr
                       AND kschl EQ 'VPRS'.
    The select is inside the loop an lt_output.
    Aggregate functions and FOR ALL ENTRIES can not be combined, the
    FOR ALL ENTRIES is a select distinct !!!
    So you must leave the loop around the select and you can't use the FOR ALL ENTRIES, but this is o.k.,

  • How to program Sony RMT-VB100U Blu-Ray remote to control Vizio TV

    I want to eliminate some remote controls...I have a Vizio TV and want to turn it on/off and adjust volume via my fancy little Blu-Ray remote Sony RMTV-B100U that came with my BDPS3500, BUT the pre-programmed brands do not include Vizio.  How do I make this remote work with the Vizio, or am I just screwed and need to buy a tool belt to carry all these ****** remotes around?  I'm not buying a universal remote when I have plenty of remotes that should do the job.

    Hi nphiker, 
    Welcome to the Sony Community! 
    The supplied remote " RMT-VB100U " is not a universal remote control. However, you can control some televisions which is not a Sony TV. Please refer to the link below on page 44 for the supported TVs.

  • Any one know how to use TouchSmart 600-1055 blu-ray to output to TV?

    I just bought TouchSmart 600-1055 with blu-ray today.  Any one know how to output video and audio to larger TV?

    If it is anything like the 600-1265qd, you may need to purchase a USB adapter to connect to a DVI or HDMI port on the TV.  However, there are no HDCP-compatible USB connectors...

  • How to burn slide show to Blu-ray DVD ?

    I've burned a slide show with music to a regular DVD but it comes out with poor resolution when blowing up to full screen. When I try to burn same to a Blu-ray DVD I can't because it burns at about 20 fps ( which I don't need ) and takes too much memory ....about 4 Gig !

    Photoshop Elements does not do the burn of a slide show to a DVD disc or to Blu-ray disc: Photoshop Elements only burns the VERY low resolution VCD format to a CD disc. The DVD formats are created by the Adobe Premiere Elements software which perhaps you purchased in; a bundle with Photopshop Elements.
    Premiere Elements has a separate forum at
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere_elements
    so that is where you will find people who can help with questions about Blu-ray and standard def video DVDs
    When you post on that forum, I recommend that you include which version of the Adobe software you are running, which version of Windows, and whether you are doing your playback of the slide show at full screen on a computer or using a TV DVD player. Also if doing playback on a computer include what software are you using for playback at full screen and what is the resolution of that screen ?

  • Custom resolutions with Blue Ray DVD

    Is 1920 by 768 resolution possible for Blue Ray DVD player playback using a ProRes 1920 by 768 source file or a 1920 by 768 H.264 source file? Source file is produced in Motion and will be processed with the Compressor. We can not use 1920 by 1080 or 1920 by 720. Thanks.

    We on Motion wrote:
    an identical signal into three projectors with 1024 by 768 native resolution
    As has been stated, Blu-ray will only support 1920x1080. If you are feeding an identical 1024x768 (not a broadcast/consumer standard for non-computer video) image to three projectors your only option is DVI out of a computer.

  • How do I make interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion?

    So, adobe doesn't support Encore anymore which means I can't use dynamic link to AE to create interactive DVD/Blu-Ray menus with motion.... or can I? Is there something I'm doing wrong? While in Encore, I go to dynamic link and boom, dynamic link to AE is not highlighted. If I can't make an interactive menu with motion using adobe, then what can I use? This is causing a major problem for me and my clients. (if i over looked the answer to this in another post, my apologies)

    You can use the "Create After Effects Composition." This prompts you to create an independent version of the Encore PSD menu file, and opens the layered file in AE CC and creates a new composition with appropriate settings. AE no longer has mpeg export, so you export from AE to AME.
    There were some workflow options that I did not play with much, but they were never what I saw as the basics for using AE to create the motion background.

  • How to read an arborescence of blu-ray files  ?

    Hi,
    I don't have a bluray reader, but I was wondering if I could read blu-ray files with a software, maybe VLC ?
    Sincerely

    I didn't mean read a disc, only files, the same that are on the disc but on my HD.
    You still need a Blu-ray drive. You won't be able to watch Blu-ray movies, but OS X will be able to read data files (and write data and movie Blu-ray discs with Toast).

    Install Windows on your Mac and reinstall all your Windows software.
    Microsoft purposely hobbles Mac versions to prevent defections and quite frankly will find little offerings outside of Microsoft for those types of softwares.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
