Interlacing and High Definition

When you playback HD video on your iMac screen in full screen mode and you get noticeable interlacing primarily on moving objects. Of course you can use the de-interlace filter but what I am wondering is if you were able to get that project onto blu-ray disk of HD, to watch it on a High def TV would you still need the de-interlace filter?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Broadcast safe filter is needed if you add external elements like stills or title or composite mode with "non broadcast" range of color.
This filter doesn't tweak interlace form of your footage. It just limit the color value to "fit" the broadcast color safe space.
Now, if you burn HDV (1920 X 1080) on standard definition DVD (720 X 680), you reduce by 6 times the pixels in each image. You downscale your material. When you display downscaled material on HD TV set, the monitor handles video signal to "fit" the large screen (1920 X 1080), so the material shows many degradation.
Make this test: edit your HDV content and pritni it to tape on your HDV camcorder. Use it as a VCR connected to your HD TV set and see the different: huge.
When HD DVD or Blue Ray burner/authoriting app and Hight def DVD player for home will be available, you'll get this kind of image.
By the way, HDV is the distributing format for HD content used by local cable company or satellite one.

  • IDVD doesn't process AVCHD video and high definition RAW photo files

    Hi everybody. I have a brand new Canon VIXIA HF S10 and 5D Mark II. I tried to make a movie out of video shot with the camcorder using iMovie and then I burned a DVD with iDVD. I also made a slide show out of RAW photos made by the 5D. And I encountered such a situation when the movies I made seem to be missing some frames. For instance people move discretely instead of smoothly as in the original video. As for the photos they come out not to be of high definition and don't fit to the whole TV screen. I mean if I burn the photos to a DVD in Jpeg they look perfect. I set all the setting to HD but still get poor quality.
    Have anybody dealt with the same situation or I should try more professional soft like Cut pro or DVD pro?

    IDVD can't process AVCHD. I use Toast to do that. Import your pictures or slides into IMovie and export them via Quicktime if you want 1920x1080 or via browser if you want 720P. Than you can us the browser in Toast to create a DVD in AVCHD. It will play in a blu ray player but NOT in Mac OSX. You will need to use Native Windows via Boot Camp and a Blu Ray player in your mac if you have one. Otherwise a Blu Ray player in you TV system should work.

  • Driver Problems with HP 350 G1: SM Bus Controller and High Definition Audio Device

  • Still Photo's and High Definition Video.

    Would there be any advantage to scanning photo's for High Definition and then converting them to Standard Definition? Or would you just scan them at a higher resolution.?
    I'm looking for a way to have clearer photo's and at the same time use them in a standard DVD player.
    I'm in the need of a video monitor and trying to decide if there would be any advantage to moving to high definition to be ready for the future when I do not have a need for it right now. I use mostly still photo's in my videos.

    As for the phpotos I would always scan or produce them at least 2x the target resolution in each direction - especdially if you're doing moves. If you know you won't be doing moves, then you can prepare them at exactly the target resolution (including the pixel shape if you're using say NTSC standard or anamorphic).
    Since you're looking at protecting for an HD future, assume that target resolution is... 1080x to cover your bases.
    Don't know what you're scanning, but watch out for moire patterns coming from halftone dots in printed photos. There are ways to deal with them, poke around here or better yet in Photoshop or other graphics forums.
    As for an HD monitor, prices will of course plummet just after you buy it. No sense in jumping on a bandwagon you won't even be using yet. If you're serious about quality, get a broadcast SD monitor.

  • Qosmio G20 = Component Video Cable and High Definition Videos With Pinnacle

    Dear Everybody
    I bought my Qosmio G20-120 from Poland which came with D-video to Scart cable. This cable is only capable of transferring Video (CVBS) signals which is pretty useless because Qoismio has S-Video Output already... Which is better than simple Video Output that I can get from Scart.
    According to www.toshiba-europe.com Qoismio has supposed to have Component Video output. But it comes with Scart cable instead. I am still trying to get this Component Video to D-Video cable from the distributor. If I wont succeed, does anybody know if and where I can buy this cable in Europe? Or is it possible to make a component video to D-video cable out of D-Video to Scart cable?
    As last did anybody try the high definition DVB-S channels on Qoismio by using USB 2.0 DVB-S TV Card.Any opinions about Pinnacle PCTV 400e ??
    Thank You

    Yes I do live in Europe. But who says that Component Video Cable is a standart from USA or Japan. I have been using Component Video Cables to connect my DVD Player with my video projector since 2002. Component Video Cables are wisely used in Europe. And its the ONLY analogue way of transferring HD-Video (Plus DVI and HDMI)
    What disturbs me alot is that on www.toshiba-europe.com they explain that my computer has:
    Interfaces 1 x headphone
    1 x DC-in
    1 x line-in
    1 x external monitor
    1 x RJ-11
    1 x RJ-45
    1 x i.LINK (IEEE 1394)
    4 x USB 2.0
    1 x Monitor-in (line-in port)
    1 x TV-antenna
    1 x S-Video-in (Composite/Line-in)
    1 x TV-out (s-video, Component-out))
    1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)
    Where is the Component-out ???Promise is a promise. Why do they say it if they dont give it?
    Instruction manual also says that : D-Video port lets you transfer 525i(480i),525p(480p),1125i(1080i) or 750p(720p) data to external devices.
    How can you transfer 720p with a Scart Cable?? It is impossible.... The only way that Qosmio can transfer 1280x720 picture is a Component Video cable.(Because it has no DVI port) How much does this cable cost anyway?? But the problem is NOBODY is producing it in Europe. I am writing to Toshiba-Japan. Since they are saying that my computer has Component-out so they must get me the cable....

  • IMac 20" and High Definition Video

    Hey,
    I live in the UK and often visit the Apple store where i try out the different displays and computers on offer. I have a 12" G4 iBook which i bought in October last year as my first Mac.
    I have been converted from PC's by this and i am now looking into purchasing a desktop Mac such as an iMac.
    I quite fancy an Intel iMac 20" as i would be able to do everything i would want to on it. One of the main attractions for me is the HD capabilities.....if they are what i expect.
    When i try and attempt to watch HD movie trailers from the Quicktime site on my iBook, the only resolution that will work is 480p. This is the lowest resolution available as HD content and even at this low resolution the performance can be insufficient.
    I would be purchasing the Intel iMac 20" with 250GB hard drive and probably 1GB of RAM (looking to upgrade to 2GB after purchase) and most likely the 256MB graphics card.
    Some questions i hope that could be answered:
    a) Would the spec mentioned above cope with HD content and if so, would it even cope with 1080? I know the resolution will only show 1050 but the picture would still be better than 720 right? Is there much point in upgrading the graphics card to the 256MB option?
    b) As HD hasnt really been released in the UK as of yet, will i be able to import DVD's from America to watch them on my iMac, also, will these DVD's mean that i will have to set the region on the DVD drive to American, so therefore i would be unable to watch UK DVD's
    c) I have a Windows desktop that struggles to record live TV from the internal PCI card. I find that it records the programs and contains a jerky picture, with an Intel Mac would the recordings be smooth, I.E would the hardware be powerful enough to be able to record video smoothly.
    d) If i was to upgrade the RAM in the iMac myself, would this void the Apple warranty? Is it an easy installation process? I have created a whole Windows desktop from scratch but have never looked inside a Mac (presume they are similar)
    e) I will be going to University to do a Degree in Software Engineering which will mainly use Windows applications. How does Windows run under Boot Camp and is it stable enough to use as a frequent operating system bearing in mind it will be important for me as i will use it often for prolonged periods of time.
    Many Thanks to whoever could answer any of these questions.

    iBook G4 12   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    HD-DVD is coming soon to the Mac as an external drive (probably usb2.0). It will be expensive though.
    A. The iMac has more than enough horse power to display 1080i movies. The mac will have to downres it because the display is 1680x1050.
    B. Can't tell until the HD-DVD players are released.
    C.It would be but you would need to buy a device like eyetv to do so since the mac doesn't have a tuner.
    D. The ram is user upgradable and very easy to install. The user's manual shows how to upgrade.
    E. Windows XP runs under bootcamp as well as under a normal pc. There are some driver issues as far as supporting some of apples built in hardware, like the iSight cam, but other than that it is bulletproof. I sold my intel pc recently after upgrading to bootcamp. Don't need it anymore.

  • Is the high definition (HD) display of my new laptop the culprit behind my tiny impossible to read icons and menu headers in all my CS5 adobe programs?

    The toolbox icons and menu headers are too small to read in all my adobe cs5 programs. I just purchased a new laptop with a high definition (HD) screen and 1920x1080 resolution. So far I tried dropping the resolution to 1680x1050 that does not solve the problem. I went into photoshop preferences/interface and bumped up text size to "large" and that made text in menus readable but not the icons or menu headers. Then it occurred to me, the one thing that is different is the HD display. Does anyone know if that is the reason for the tiny icons and text?  Thanks for your help.

    Hi Gene,
    I tried what you mentioned and wow! the icons and menu headers in photoshop are a normal size again.
    One other thing I did since my first post, I found a way to bump up the size of text in the display settings of Windows and that fixed readability in most of the adobe products I use ( acrobat pro, illustrator, indesign, bridge-somewhat) but not photoshop. Anyways, thanks for your advice! you have saved me from ruining my eyesight.

  • L channel sound comes through both L and R speakers after installing IDT High Definition Audio Codec

    I noticed a sound problem on my laptop. The R channel works as expected but the L channel is split between the L and R speakers. After checking several different possibilities I narrowed the problem down to the IDT High Definition Audio Codec that I downloaded from the HP driver support page for my notebook model and operating system.
    I uninstalled the IDT High Definition Audio Codec and restarted. This forced Windows to resort to using its generic "HD Audio Device" default. When I did this the sound was equally split between the L and R speakers as I would expect - L channel 100% though L speaker, R channel 100% though R speaker. I then re-downloaded the IDT High Definition Audio Codec from HP (sp59654.exe), re-installed it, and restarted. Immediately the sound problem was back - while the R channel comes 100% though the R speaker, the L channel is split between L and R speakers.
    Please note this has nothing to do with adjusting speaker "balance". Both L and R channel volumes were set to 100% while investigating this problem. It's definitely some sort of incompatibilty between the IDT High Definition Audio Codec and Windows 8 64-bit or the sound hardware in the HP Envy DV6.  
    Here are my details:
    IDT High Definition Audio Codec
    Publisher: IDT
    Date: 8/19/2012
    Version: 6.10.6425.0
    Notebook
    HP Envy DV6-7200
    Windows 8 64-bit

    Here is what I would recommend you trying. Go to device manager and uninstall the audio driver. Once it is uninstalled, go to the device manager toolbar and select "Scan for hardware changes". After it completes, reboot the computer. Once the computer is rebooted, test the audio and let me know if that helped.

  • Keep having to disable and re-enable my IDT High Definition Audio CODEC, what's wrong?

    Hi! 
    I have a Pavillion Touchsmart Sleekbook 14" with Windows 8 that I bought new about 7 months ago. I have not yet updated to Windows 8.1.
    Recently I have noticed that my audio will suddenly stop working. This typically happens when my computer has been sleeping and I start it up again. The audio does not come out through the internal speakers or headphones when I plug them in. I have not tried external speakers but I imagine the result would be the same. 
    If I go into my Device Manager and disable and re-enable the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC the sound returns. All sound devices I have listed are related to this IDT High Definition Audio. I have tried updating the drivers, however it informs me the most updated drivers are already installed.
    I am not entirely sure what is causing this problem, but I do recall installing a Windows or HP update awhile back regarding IDT High Definition Audio. I believe it was an optional update.
    EDIT: After doing some further research it looks like it is related to that Windows update and the compatibility of their IDT audio drivers with Windows 8 or 8.1 does not seem very good. If all else fails I will try uninstalling the IDT CODEC all together and use the default HP audio.
    Has anyone found a solution that works for them regarding this issue?

  • Please move this topic if it does not fit here...High Definition and MacPro

    Dear ALL,
    Hope everyone is well. I have not purchased a Apple item since 2005. I have been in the land of PC and was not disappointed - sorry. Now I have intereest in a MacPro but have been very worried upon reading some of the forum entries here. Besides that, I have wondered whether the the new high definition dvds will be compatible with any Apple laptops. Is the Mac Pros ready for this new venture (whether it be for HD or Blue Ray)?
    Also, those that own a 2.16 and 2.33 GHz model of MacPros - any difference in speed running Final Cut Pro or Express? Shooting for a 15 inch.

  • IMovie and Importing video AVCHD from the Canon High-Definition HG10

    iMovie 08 does not let me import high definition video (AVCHD) from the Canon HG10 camcorder. Could you let me know how I can do this or what program can do it? iMovie 08 and the Mac do not recognize the high definition video (AVCHD). Thanks for your assistance. Best, Joe

    Your camera is on the supported list, and if you will search these forums, you will see that many people are using it.
    iMovie recognizes AVCHD, but only from a supported and connected camcorder.
    If you prefer not to import from your camcorder, you can buy a program called Voltaic. It takes about 12x realtime to convert AVCHD to an editable format. You can import directly from your camera much quicker.

    Hi I just updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    I write DVD's using Final Cut Pro, creating a DVD that plays HD and Standard Definition on one disk.
    My problem is when I used load the disk on my G5 it would ask if you want High Definition or Standard Definition, now it just defaults to Standard Definition.(I'm using Apple's DVD Player)
    Can I fix this problem?

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?
