Idvd6 rendering quality different than idvd5?

Fellow Champions of the new media age,
i have 8 .dv movies I have been burning with idvd since the inception of idvd. I upgraded to idvd6 and added a movie. The rendered dvd now has the DV tearing and motion artifacts when the motion is high.
Anybody notice this too?
I wiped and re-rendered the dvd at the different qualities, but gives the same result.
Any ideas? Should I drop back to idvd5?
G4 dual 1ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Firefox 13 Rendering Websites Differently Than FF11/12

CSS and Image rendering problems ONLY with Firefox 13...
I am a web developer, so browsers displaying code differently is not foreign. What is foreign to me, is having Firefox be the only browser that's rendering the code incorrectly. Please see two examples below:
http://powellcareandrepair.web12.hubspot.com/
http://www.facebook.com/sv.capella1
In Powell Care the flash button is off by one pixel causing a white line down the side of the button. This only occurs in FF13. The site renders correctly in ie9, Chrome, Safari, Firefox 11 and Firefox 12.
In the second example the Facebook page has a profile picture which lines up with the cover photo. Again this works correctly in ie9, Chrome, Safari, Firefox 11 and Firefox 12, but not Firefox 13.
My question is what's going on here? How does code that previously worked in the last two versions of Firefox (11+12) now all of the sudden not work in 13?
Any help would be appreciated. Is there something that I've coded wrong, with the exception of Facebook which will not change. This doesn't make sense to me.

It is probably a good idea to check the site code compliance using the W3C validator

Firefox does try to keep up with the standards, so there may well be some differences between versions see for instance

The way Aperture renders my Nikon RAW (NEF) files look different than...

The was Aperture renders my NEF files looks different than NX...
Ok so I use all the in camera setting/tools to the best of abilities to try and cut my editing down as much as possible but when shooting RAW I end up having to tweak every images to get them back to what they really look like... I shoot often RAW and JPG combined and when I open a NEF in NX and a JPG in PS they are identical and need very little work, when I use Aperture the NEF files are very different looking from the JPG (or NEF in NX) and every single one needs tweaking (I get more redish/pinkish skin, often a hint of green cast to (slightly off WB/tone thing) and more contrast.
Below is screenshot showing the difference between a JPG (or NEF in NX) and a RAW file in Aperture
[img]http://www.pbase.com/ray645/image/120052970/original.jpg[/img]
This is just a silly snap shot in very flat overcast light, and has the least amount of shift or difference of any image type so far, when I use strobes, shoot for a more contrasty image, gel for color and manual WB the differences are huge almost to the point that you would think you where looking at two completely different images and not the same NEF opened in different software.
How do I go about getting Aperture to render my NEF's more like what I shot like NEF in NX, JPG in anything, and even the back of the camera screen?

Thank you, that seems like will work, just having the boost turned down a bit on import has helped tremendously but I cant stop feeling like I am moving towards the "Fix it in post" mentality
I will need to get better at tweaking my images... No matter how I try I cant kill the pinking skin or the very faint green glow in blond hair or bright neutral tones without affecting other areas of the image.. I am sure I will figure it out but anyone having any tips or links that could speed up my process I would appreciate it.
The green is weird its like someone snuck a small florescent light into all my shoots without telling me, not major but enough to be annoying.
I shoot a ton of motor sports (3000 images a weekend) and shoot JPG and have gotten good at using in camera pre sets, knowing what I got and getting it right in the camera, I wish Nikon would give up the code or whatever is needed for all the info to be carried over to Aperture..... I would pay the $100 or whatever to use the NX engine in Aperture

32 bpc linear workflow -- render different than preview

Hi,
I've been experimenting with a 32 bpc linear workflow and have run into an issue where what I see in the preview window (what I want) looks very different than what is rendered out. The difference seems to be caused by a curves adjustment layer-- it almost seems like it is ignored on final output.
A screenshot of the preview window:
What the image looks like during a RAM preview or when rendered:
The RAM preview looks correct though (or like the 1st image) when I go to Preferences-->Previews-->set "Color Management Quality" to "MoreAccurate"
I'm using sRGB linearalized working space. Outputting to an 8 bpc TIFF sequence with output profile set to sRGB (I'm not sure what to do with the "Convert to Linear Light setting"-- does "On for 32 bpc" mean on when the input is set to 32 bpc, or when the output is set to 32 bpc? -- either way this setting doesn't appear to fix the issue)
This particlular project doesn't really use any of the things 32 bpc is good for, but I'm very interested in figuring out a fix for future use.
Here's the project file if anyone is interested in taking a look:
cs6 version
cs5.5 version
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!
--Ross

You must have use display color management turned off or simulate output set incorrectly. Notice the difference between this setup and your screenshots.
If you are going to use color management you must use the whole banana. You must calibrate your monitor. You must render to formats that support color management. With only a portion turned on output will never match the preview.
One more suggestion. If you're having problems with a render please send us a project with the failed render still in the render CUE. Your projects were comps only.

Problems with rendering quality in Premiere Elements 9

Hello, I've made a few videos with PE 9 now, and I get very poor quality rendering despite trying several different settings. I saw on a help thread earlier that I needed to try changing to HD when creating the new file from the beginning. I did that, but it only made my PE 9 run more slowly, and the rendering quality was not improved. I also read somewhere that using .MOV files as a source can cause problems with rendering; is that true? I hope not! I use a Lumix bridge camera for my videos, and the video quality is very good. And when I'm working with these videos within PE 9 the quality is great. It's only when exporting to various file types that the quality suddenly becomes poor. For the most part I have made compilation videos of gymnasts, and when their legs move they are often so lined or pixelated that they become invisible. Here is an example of a short gym video I made yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0s7tUBcSZk. The last girl jumping gives the best example of this invisible leg problem.
You can see the original source films here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmUMi9oN8dQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEzcJZjhxiI
and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I53twqPQMV4
The sequences I took in my compilation video start at about 20 seconds in the source videos.
Youtube does reduce the quality of the videos slightly, but in any case you can definitely see a difference in quality between the source videos and the PE 9 rendered compilation video.
I'm quite disappointed because I made a longer compilation video set to music (which was a lot of work), and it looks so much nicer on PE 9 than on any of the rendered formats, but of course I can't share the PE 9 version!
Thanks very much for your help.
Chleste

Thanks Steve. I'm not sure what resolution I'm shooting in, actually. However, the thing is that when I make these compilations, I like to go back to source videos I've made in the past sometimes. Sometimes these videos come from a Canon camera, and sometimes they even come from my Samsung mobile telephone. I like being able to creatively combine historic moments, and these moments might have been recorded without any intention at the time of making a compilation video. Is it not possible to combine several kinds of video sources?
I'm uploading an example of a compilation with mixed source videos from various kinds of cameras. It's 710 Megs so it will take a while, but when it's finished you will be able to see it at http://youtu.be/CslpULRe4LU.
I opened up the file for the compilation of the four girls on the beam (video posted in original message), and I do indeed see those red lines in the timeline. Is there anything I can do now about that, or do I have to start the project all over?
I'm confused about the processor requirements. Even if I can see my video perfectly in PE 9, the actual export process will be affected if my system is not up to par? If so, that's a bit disappointing! I'm not sure what my processor details are, but I will find out and let you know.
Many thanks.

Better renders in Leopard than Snow Leopard?

Okay, been following the issues between Final Cut Studio 2 and 3...
But is anyone finding the renders from FCP and Compressor of better quality in Leopard rather than Snow Leopard?
Comparing some Apple TV outputs from Final Cut Studio 3 in Leopard and Snow Leopard, it does appear to me that the previous system had sharper and clearer outputs, but I can't be certain since the clips are different material.
SL uses the new Quicktime X framework and Leopard uses Quicktime 7. There are some odd issues popping up with the X player that did not exist in 7, such as 4:3 movies suddenly turning 16:9 with the new player, the stair stepping renders when downsizing with Compressor, unable to adjust video tracks in the new player, etc.
So I'm wondering if there is a consensus as to the render quality in FCP and Compressor in Snow Leopard and Quicktime X. I just added a partition and installed Leopard there in case I choose to only edit in leopard.

Well, after some methodical testing, the results are in.
Tested:
Final Cut Studio 3 in Snow Leopard
Final Cut Studio 2 in Leopard
Final Cut Studio 3 in Leopard
I began with a problematic DV clip from 10 years ago from Meissen, Germany using a small Sony DV camera in outdoor / dusk conditions with some bright lights blowing out the image.
In each test, used Final Cut Pro 3-way color correction, broadcast safe filter, and a Magic Bullet Editors "Epic" film preset. Set the timeline to render Pro Res 422 HQ, with all the best timeline render settings.
Exported with current settings, video only, self contained movie.
Into Compressor with the Apple TV settings, which in the Final Cut Studio 2 had to be set manually: 960x720 4:3 HD, H.264, 5000kbs (maximum), single pass, no audio, Frame controls set to progressive fields and all the best render settings. Added two compressor filters, noise reduction and edge sharpening. Aspect ratio was square.
Rendered on a Mac Pro 2009 4 core (8 cores virtual) 2.6, Qmaster cluster will all 8 instances. Viewed on a 42" plasma, Apple TV HDMI connection.
First test was in Snow Leopard with Final Cut Studio 3. Results -- dull output, fastest render at 17 minutes. Processors were hardly used, perhaps 300% in Activity Monitor.
Created a partition and installed Leopard, and Final Cut Studio 2. Same method above. Results -- crisp, tight output, slowest render at 30 minutes. All processors working 100% (800%)
Then erased and installed Leopard again, installed Final Cut Studio 3. Same method above. Results -- Dull output, medium render speed at 20 minutes. Processor activity was perhaps 400%, though jumping around the entire time.
Conclusion:
-similar render quality between Snow Leopard and Leopard
-best render quality in Final Cut Studio 2
-faster but dull render quality in Final Cut Studio 3.
Still unclear whether the Final Cut Pro timeline renders look different between Final Cut Pro 6 and 7, but I will now only output in Final Cut Studio 2 for best results.

Java2D text rendering quality

Dear all,
I am currently trying to get high quality rendering for monochrome text, targeting epaper viewers. I draw strings into a BufferedImage, and display it on my LCD monitor in order to quickly check the rendering quality, before transferring it to epaper. I am encountering some disappointing surprises using Java2D, and cannot get a good output quality:
- TextAttribute.WEIGHT produces only 2 different renderings, regular or bold.
- Fonts appear very very light for sizes up to 17pt, and suddenly appear bold at 18pt+ sizes
I am working under Windows XP SP 2, with JDK 1.6.0. Here follows a small piece of code illustrating the second problem. When comparing output with Photoshop or Fireworks outputs, the results are really disapointing, and I am sure that I am missing something...
Thanks in advance for any help/tip.
Sincerely,
Jean-Marie

            attText.addAttribute(TextAttribute.FONT, f.deriveFont((float)i));
            TextLayout textlayout = new TextLayout(attText.getIterator(), frc);
            textlayout.draw(g2d, 10, y);

        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Text rendering demo");
        f.getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(new TextRendering()), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        f.setSize (600, 800);
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
}

Of course, the same rendering problem can be observed with the more sophisticated "Font2DTest" example which can be found in the JDK samples: with the Arial font, the text becomes "semi-bold" starting from 18pt size, whereas it is very light for sizes up to 17pt.
Thanks again for any help.

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads. I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this. So that begs the question, where is that folder located? When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email.

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow. The fact that the power supply to the computer was accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto no doubt was the cause of this phenom.
Any suggestions as to how to re-sync the rotations back up?

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of the use of theses two keys simultaneously. It occured to me after this post to just trash the whole library which I had just created for this particular group of photos and re-import the photos to a newly re-created library. I still had the camara connected so as it turned out it was fairly easy. Now that I think about it, if this hadn't been a newly created library just for this group of photos it wouldn't have worked so simply, so I guess I discovered another benifit for having multiple libraries.
I'm glad you recomended the apple/alt key combo though as this knowledge no-doubt will come in handy at some time.

How can I have a topic name different than the filename of a linked Word document?

I've encountered multiple issues with linking to Word files ...here's another one: If a Word document is entitled Feature_ABC, then upon generating the HTM after linking it, the HTM's filename and topic name are both Feature_ABC. As underscores are ugly in topic names and features can be renamed, I would hope that I could rename the topic to be different than the filename.
The Help documentation suggests this is possible by editing the Topic Name Pattern in the Word Conversion Settings dialog of Project Settings. However, reagardless of the Pattern entered, every time I generate or update from the context menu of a linked Word document the topic name remains the same as the filename.
Because the topic name is shown in the Search panel and browser tabs, it will be a little ugly and may even be confusing. It is possible to edit the HTML directly, but then the HTML is overwritten each time the Word documents are update and the great advantage of using linked documents is lost.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

Thank you for your quick reply - just checked Multifox out.

Rendering Quality - iMovie HD

Dear All,
Am currently creating a project in iMovie HD, and cannot seem to find the highest / correct rendering quality?
Am using credits (iMovie credits weren't working at all so imported text images had created and fade in and out) and whenever rendering the pixel quality from the preview screen drops ENORMOUSLY.
In the preview screen and when viewed full screen in iMovie the quality is perfect, but as soon as render (even at "Full Quality") it drops WAY down. Have tried fiddling with "Expert Settings" but no joy.
Any tips MUCH, much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
- D.

iMovie will render your images as movies, thus, your reduction in quality. The best way to import images is to make a slideshow in iPhoto, export it to Quicktime and then import it to your iMovie project. No rendering problems at all. It is possible to play around with the Ken Burns effect in iMovie to get the image to render with a little better quality, but no guarantees, especially if you are using dark backgrounds with bright colored text. They will never render cleanly.
