Interlace problem with DV PAL video

My video file is DV, 720 × 576 (768 × 576) with letterboxing
I want to use compressor to resize this to 16:9 768 x 432, or 720 x 405
The original movie looks fine, but it seems whatever codec and whatever deinterlace setting in compressor, the output file has nasty interlace lines.
I am slightly confused because I seem to have Interlacing/deinterlacing in 3 places:
Video settings
Frame Controls
Filters
Can anyone help please?

Result is 16:9 file, not too large and no lines. Just as good as the original.
I find it odd that I have to use QT Pro
Hey Pete. Whatever works…
If you want to try another way, start out by setting up tour FCP project like so:
It will export in the aspect ratio you want.

Open the DV movie in QT pro 7, expert with Apple Pro Ress 422 HQ and interlace ticked.
Then open that in compressor and choose H264 and apply the crop to remove the letterbox.
You wanted a DVD to play back on computers (either in addition to or rather than television play-back). Since H.264 is not a DVD standard, I assume you compressed it once again to make an MPEG-2. That's a lot of generations of compression and lost information: DVPAL>ProRes HQ>H.264>MPEG-2. Much simpler, quicker and higher quality to go directly from DV PAL (or NTSC) to MPEG-2.
Finally, if most of your output will be for computers (including mobile devices) and the Web, try to shoot progressive in the first place.
Good luck.

I am finding the ability to download previous purchases now shown on my iCloud account to be difficult. Music appears fine and most movies are OK but I have problems with all music videos included with album purchases. Any ideas?

Firstly, I purchased my first iPhone a few years ago, since then there have been a lot of apps released, a lot which I downloaded for free, tried and deleted from both my phone and my iTune 'Apps' Panel. What bothers me is when I do get a new iOS device, iPad and/or iPhone 5, and I don't want to just copy the back-up of my current iOS device to the new one, then to get the apps I want I will have to scroll through countless useless 'trash' applications in my purchase history to 'cloud download' the ones I want.
Just sync the apps you want from your computer. You don't need to redownload them directly on the iPhone Purchased list.
Will Apple be employing such a feature, a 'permanently delete/un-purchase' feature?
Dunno.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased from iTunes) since the update. Have restarted, rebooted etc. and it is worse than before. Help! Spent a lot of money on these and they won't play properly.

I am still having problems with my music videos freezing (all purchased on iTunes) since the update. The first day of the update, no problems...played 6 hours of music videos and no freezing. Today...every single video froze!!! So frustrating! I rebooted, restarted, powered down and no help. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

I don't know how to do this without using a mouse point.
This may help, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000542.htm
As for question #2, you call tell how iTunes is sorting songs by the up or down arrow next to a header name.
Even the original order that the songs were entered or date added or last played can be sorted.
Much easier with a mouse or touch pad.

Problem with RTPExport output video files

Hi, I have a problem with RTPExport output video files. One side streams H263/RTP(AVTransmit2.java) and other write this steam to a file by RTPExport.java. When network conditions are ideal, output video file has same fps and same number of frames like original file. Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Its there a way to modifi rtpexport or avreceiver to do this? Thanks a lot!

Problem occures, when theres packet lost in network, then output file has different fps,and also has less frames like original video(because it didnt write missing frames to file, and thats why it get shorter). Okay, first off, the second file is smaller on purpose. RTP intentionally drops packets that are old/out of order in order to make sure real-time video stays as close to real time as it can. This is by design, so there's really nothing that can be done about it.
How to write to file an identical copy of what I can see while receiveing video with AVReceive2.java? Technically speaking, what you're getting in the RTPExport is exactly what you got on the receiving end. Any frames that are dropped during transmission will not be seen by the receiver, nor saved by the receiver.
Pls how can I achieve output file that will have the same fps like original one? I'm not 100% sure that you can, but, you can give the following idea a try. I make no guarentees that it'll work, but it should work for you...
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/RTPConnector.html]
That example is an example of a "custom transport layer" for RTP connections. Essentially, it's some code that's handed the RTP packets on the transmission end, and it's expected to deliver those RTP packets on the other end. And it doesn't care about how they get from A to B, only that they do.
If you were to replace the UDP socket in that example with a TCP socket, you would be guarenteed not to drop packets due to network reasons. Every RTP packet you were handed by the transmitter, you would then hand to the receiver. There is no guarentee that none of the packets would be cast away as "old" by the RTP protocol itself, but there's also no guarentee any of them would be. It's a crap-shoot at best, but it's certainly worth a try.

Synching audio problem with MPEG-4 video in QuickTime

Hello,
I’m having a problem with MPEG-4 video file I created with TechSmith Camtasia (6.0.1).
Problem: The audio does not sync up with the video when played with Apple QuickTime 7.6 (latest build) in Windows Vista. The longer the video plays the more out of sync the audio is. Here's where it gets interesting:
When I play the file using Adobe Media Player or Adobe Flash Player (plug-in in Internet Explorer), the video and audio sync up and all is good.
Is there a problem with how Quicktime decompresses this type of file?
Does anyone have any idea what is happening?
Thanks,
Leo

If I remember well, N70 plays mp4 video without problems. Try resizing during encoding to 176 x 144 and reducing frame rate to 15 frames per second. Also try to keep data rate below 200 kb/s. If you are using MediaCoder do not go with default settings for Nokia N70, they are too optimistic.

"Problem with Your Audio/Video Configuration"

"I Tunes Has Detected a Problem with Your Audio/Video Configuration. Audio/video playback may not operate properly."
Does anyone know why I'm getting this error message? After getting it, I usually cannot hear any sound on I Tunes or other media players.
I've already tried uninstalling and re-installing the drivers and it doesn't help. I also have the latest version of I Tunes. Any ideas?

I had this problem also and uninstalled and then reinstalled Quick-time yesterday and the problem was solved.
However when I turned on my PC today, I had the same problem again but this time uninstalling and reintsalling Quick-time is not working.
Anyone any other suggestions as to how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

Interlace problems with moving objects using iDVD

I had an MP4 file (created by a 3rd party) from a Hi-8 analog tape which has some interlace artifacts on moving images (left image of boy) but not too bad. When the MP4 files was imported into iMovie 11 the interlace artifacts smoothed somewhat - that was OK (right image of boy). The camera was still and the boy was moving. Vertical lines on stationary objects are OK in all images. These are screen captures from the Mac of the mp4 played through quicktime and the same file imported into iMovie 11 and played. I paused both to take the screen capture.
The completed project in iMovie 11 looked OK when previewed prior to rendering. These are 20 year old videos so my expections were being met.   I rendered the project with iDVD to the hard drive first and then to a DVD with the same poor imaging result on the moving object. I am using a new Macbook Pro I bought in early January which came with iMovie 11 and iDVD Ver 7.1.2 (1158). Running Mac OS X 10.7.3 Macbook Pro 2.3 Ghz Corei7   8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.
I couldn't screen capture from the MAC DVD player screen to illustrate the poor result (got a checkerboard screen) so I took a photo of the screen and imported that (below). The moving boy on the left is from an iMovie 11 screen capture, the image on the right is the moving boy from the rendered DVD I paused on the Mac (and took a pic of).
Below a close up of the poorly rendered moving boy viewed on the resultant DVD. This translates into a horrible rendition of any quick moving object. It happens with any moving image - i.e. a pan across a room with straight vertical lines like edges of a wall will show as serrated and poorly rendered edge. I used a trial version of the Daniusoft DVD creator with the same result! I am at a loss on how to resolve this issue. Any thoughts out there??
I had previously used Pinnacle Studios on my old XP PC which worked great on other tape's Mpeg files and created great DVD's (never had an interlace problem) ... until my computer died ..... so I figured Apple and associated software should be at least equal if not a superior product.   Now I'm not too sure!

Interlace problem with fast pans, camera moves... any advice?

Hello: I have a video project, edited in FCP (from SD DVCAM tape source). I exported as a standard 4:3 Quicktime movie, and then encoded as H264 video using the multipass 3ivx codec in Cleaner.
I now get a blurred horizontal line on camera pans. The blur appears as a broken line on the lower third of the picture.
Should I not tick the "Adaptive" box?
I have tried using the de-interlace Eliminate Top Field and the Interlace Auto settings. In both cases I ticked the adaptive box. In both cases I still get a blurred broken line in the lower third area of the video on camera pans.
I tried a third experiment using DVFilmMaker. I set it up to de-interlace only on movement, and to blur horizontal lines on Motion (thinking this might help to at least give a more natural look to the picture break-up I was already getting).
Alas, no improvement.
Yes, if I had a time-machine and extra bucks I would have shot Progressive... but I didn't... so I'm trying to get the best out of what I have.
Any thoughts... anyone?
Thanks

Thanks for the info. Just for the record, I have tried all these things too in Compressor, QTPro, Cleaner and DVFilmMaker. I get the same problem with all (a blurred line on fast camera pans)
My preference for Cleaner (and it's only my opinion) is that it has a more intuitive user interface for correcting gamma, color, image size, bit-rate, without having to search or go to multiple menus. You also see the video as it encodes and visually check any problems with gamma, etc. You can also do a visual before/after check. I guess it's the devil I'm used to.
Thanks for all the info re. alternatives to Cleaner... but it's not really addressing my original (and existing) problem.
Thanks

Problem with playing HD videos

Hello,
My problem is with playing HD videos ( 720p or Full HD).
After upgrading Windows on my laptop and installing drivers, everything was fine till i tried to solve the win 8.1 problem with display drivers and inability to change the level of brightness. After that I discovered that the laptop can't play videos in higher res when they are offline (they become choppy and start to lag behind audio), so i figured the problem is in codecs or the player because any video was playing online. I have tried different codec packs like K lite or FFdshow, tried many players also like VLC, Sm, BS, WM Classic...nothing helped. So i deleted all those players and codecs so now i cant play HD videos online either.
Also i have noticed that when i start any hd video CPU usage goes up to 95%.
Any suggestions what should i do next ?

Hi there @milosevarsen
I understand that you are having performance issues when watching videos. I am happy to help. Since your CPU usage is climbing to 95%, that is a part or symptom of the problem.
Work through this page. The main thing is to make sure you control what is running on your system and the amount of available memory. So you will want to look for viruses and malware, and then what other applications are loaded on your system. Over time these tend to accumulate, and slow down your computer.
Resolving Slow System Performance (Windows 8)
The other option would be to look at possibly upgrading your memory. When a file is much larger than the available memory, you are going to see the CPU running harder.
I hope this helps.

Problems with Fios and video games.

Hi,
I switched from Time Warner Cable to Fios last month and I've been having problems with my internet going down on ALL computers whenever ONE of them plays a game online. I know it sounds strange, but as far as we can tell, it's only caused by video games. Basically, whenever a game such as Counter-Strike is started, the internet will go down on every computer for about 5 minutes.
I called tech support and they had me unplug the Actiontec router and plug the cable directly into my computer. When we tried Counter Strike again it worked with no problems. The guy said the problem is a known bug with the router they gave me, but since the TV service needs the router, I can't use my old router that works fine! I switched to Fios and waited through the 6 hour install because I thought it was supposed to be faster, but it never works!
I don't want to pay the termination fee to cancel, but I need my internet to work. Anybody have any ideas??

So I guess this is a well known problem then. I followed the instructions from that site and used my own router with the Verizon router plugged in. The internet worked for the computers, but when I tried showtime on demand it was a no-go. It looks like alot of people had success with this so I'll try again when I get back from work later today. Thanks for the help.
It's really sad that Verizon makes us go through all this hassle just go get a working internet connection. My friend was going to switch when I showed him how many more HD channels I had now, but when I told him about the internet problems he changed his mind. I would have waited too if I knew they still had bugs.

Problems with my new Video iPod

Hi, I just got a brand new black 30GB video iPod, so far it has been great. However, I've noticed a problem with the HD. Whenever the HD is spinning up and the iPod is moved you can hear the HD clunk. It also tends to make a odd whirring noise when I move the iPod around. If the iPod is moving around during startup (Apple logo appears) it will clunk and I will get the sad iPod icon. This doesn't seem right, this is exactly what my previous iPod did (20GB 4G) and that is why I got the new video iPod as a replacement. It just doesn't seem right for it to do this. Has anyone else noticed this before or do I just have bad luck with my iPod's? Secondly, I was considering buying the Apple USB power adapter. It is possible to buy a 3rd party charger for less money than what Apple wants? It's really stupid to not have a charger included on a device this expensive.
Power Mac G5 SP 1.8 (Rev B.), iMac G3, iPod Video 30GB Black Mac OS X (10.4.2)

The sad face icon usually means the hard drive is dead. If you're seeing it, it sounds like your hard drive is about to die. I'd exchange it or get it repaired. One thing I would do now too is to do the diagnostic on the iPod just to see if the hard drive is bad. Reset the iPod by pressing Menu and Center. Right when the Apple logo appears, quickly hold down Center and RW. Press Menu to do manual test, go to IO, go to HardDrive, and then to HDSmartData. If the hard drive is good, it gives values for retracts, reallocs, and some other numbers.
Third party USB power adapters should work fine, and yes I agree it is cheesy and cheap for Apple not to include one, which they used to when they were nicer.

Problem with the imported video clips

Hi! I'm very new to Premiere Pro, so please don't scold me :)
I have a video file (.AVI) that I want to remove the audio from, and insert a new audio track.
Here's my problem: When I import the AVI file into Premiere, and double-click it to preview it, it is really glitchy. The video is 1 minute long. During ~5 seconds in the very beginning, the whole video's "video" track is played, extremely speeded up (It plays through it all). The rest of the video consists of a freezed frame, and the audio is played in normal pace.
I do not know which codec the AVI-file is encoded with, is this relevant?
When I restarted Premiere the first time, it told me that it had to download codecs. I pressed OK and the codecs was downloaded and installed okay, but the problem remains.
I copied the .AVI-file directly from my camera (Canon IXUS 700 I believe).
When I play the original AVI file with VLC, everything runs perfectly with audio and video.
I'm totally clueless, anyone have a clue how I can solve this?
Any help at all appreciated, thanks in advance!

>I do not know which codec the AVI-file is encoded with, is this relevant?
Very relevant. Please provide
these details to help us help you.

Problem with 10bit RGB video

Hello.
I'm having a problem with a project which was first edited with a low res proxy;
The editor sent me the complete edit, and I switched the source file to the uncompressed file. They are both exactly the same duration, frame size, etc, but the proxy is a ProRes422 quicktime, and the master scan is a uncompressed 10bit RGB quicktime file (codec AJA Kona Uncompressed RGB Linear R10k).
What I want to do is export the edited version of the movie in an uncompressed RGB 10 bit file, to use as a master for every format, including a possible DPX conversion for 35mm filmout. The master file is a 16mm film scan.
The problem is, when I export the video as 10bit RGB, DPX, Cineon, etc, the image when rendered looks like this (it looks the same when paused inside premiere, but looks normal when I move the cursor or play it back without rendering, curiously):
The only thin I found that could be causing this is inside the clip properties: it shows a 24bit pixel depth (8bit/channel), when the correct (and verified via MediaInfo) pixel depth for this clip is 10bit/channel, saved as 32bitsPerPixel.

The frame looks like this when rendered as 8bit (with MAximum Bit Depth disabled in the sequence settings):
And this is the Clip Properties info from Premiere CS5:
File Path: M:\VELHARIA_Bruto\Fernandes16mm6-2-11.mov

Quicktime interlace problem with 1080i format ?

I imported many video in 1080i format using Final Cut Pro, and when I play back them from quicktime I've got interlace problem. How can I have my video played back correctly ?

And you are monitoring...how? Computer displays don't show interlacing properly, so you won't see it right. Only an external monitor that is capable of displaying interlacing will show you how things really look.
