IPhone 4S randomly lowered mms video quality?

I have an iPhone 4S, and every video sent to me is now played at extremely low quality, and very pixelated. Why would it do that? These videos are sent from iPhone 5's, and my phone has never done this before.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Bad video quality over WiFi?

iChat seems to be trying to out-think me by lowering iChat video quality when it's on WiFi, but using great video when I'm on ethernet. This seems silly, since I have great WiFi connectivity, but I can't seem to disable the behavior. Does anyone know how to disable iChat's WiFi preferences?
More details:
I'm on an 802.11g WiFi network through an AEBS with "full bars" and the quality looks terrible over Bonjour to someone else on the LAN (wired or wireless). As soon as I disable AirPort and plug in to wired Ethernet, making no other changes other than restarting iChat, the quality looks fantastic.
My WiFi speed is always in the tens of megabits per second, with ping latencies below 1ms to the other clients, so it should be plenty fast.
Ideas?

I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality. Now if I can just get it all working again following the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.1.
FYI: I have even used iChat AV on Tiger using DUN on my Treo650 (Sprint), which worked fine as well.

IPhone 6 Plus video quality is extremely poor when on Facetime and when sharing via text/message

I upgraded to the 6 plus from the 4S. Everyone that I facetime with and send videos to via text/message tells me how incredibly horrible the video quality is....especially in comparison to the way it was before I upgraded from the 4S to the 6Plus. These are people that I have always sent videos to and Facetimed with before, and they all say they can really tell a difference. So frustrating that my three year old iphone 4S is better than the new 6 plus 128gig that I just paid $500 for. We have little ones at home and this is one of the main things we use the phone for....to send vidoes and to Facetime with grandma and grandpa.
I'm on the same carrier (Verizon) that I have always been and have not changed anything. Is there a setting on the phone I can change that will help with this? I love the phone otherwise, but if it can't do this right, I'm going to return it and get my money back.
Can anyone help? Anyone experiencing this???
Thank you.

I have the same issue!! Why isn't there any answers to this problem? I became the laughing stock who owns a $1000 iPhone that can't share videos with family and friends. Please help!!!

Transfer MMS-Videos from iPhone to macbook pro

Hello Together,
does anyone know if it's possible to transfer videos, revieved over mms to the computer? How does it work?
Thanks for your help!
Greetz,
Mark

I have same question.
3GS. Up to date software. Not jailbroken.
I receive MMS videos from friends (who do not have iphone), and while I can play them and "tap to save" to photo roll (and play them from there also), they are not showing up in iphoto when I connect my iphone. Although videos I take DO show up. Image Capture is the same. It is like my macbook thinks the video doesn't exist.
I ended up emailing the MMS Video to myself (so I could save it) and it is a .3gp video file. It played fine from my email to myself (and I can import it from my email to iphoto and it recognizes it and plays it in quicktime). But would this video filetype prevent it from being recognized by iphoto? It recognizes everything else in my photo roll and can import photos and other videos (ones I took) just fine.
Thoughts?

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

How can you keep the highest iphone 4s Video quality the same when exporting it from iMovie.

InDesign's PDF export engine does not transcode your videos, they are embedded exactly as they were in the original file. The Flash Player runtime which displays video inside PDF files may not show a perfect match to Quicktime etc. because most video playback tools aren't designed for a color-calibrated workflow, but they should be close.
The playback quality (blocking and aliasing) will be affected if the clip is not playing at 100% (screen pixels != video pixels) and in PDFs with the standard video player widget, that will only ever happen when you use 'floating window' mode. PDF pages have physical dimensions, so viewing them at "100%" does not make them match screen pixels.
If you don't mind the video clip being smaller than the media annotation in which it's playing, then use my free upgrade to the Acrobat playback widget - VideoPlayerX - which maintains 1:1 pixel scale until the page is zoomed out too far for it to fit. You can install the widget into InDesign so it's used by default when exporting.

I guess no one from Apple reads these things? I'd like to know the same thing. I used DVD Fab and it saved it 1.2GB and it looks great on iTunes but is choppy on the iPhone 3GS. Can we have answers to the questions? Some time this year?

IPhone 5 YouTube App Video Quality on LTE

Hello,
I am new to this community and hopefully my post will receive some good information, feedback, suggestions and so forth. Well I have an iPhone 5 and when I use LTE and try to watch a youtube video on the app I have terrible video quality. I have speeds varying from 9 mbps or higher at times. Yet, when I use my WiFi at home for verizon I receive great video play back despite slower speeds (3-6 mbps). I would appreciate any information you guys may relay to me and/or experiences you have with the app through our wonderful carrier
Thank you for your time!

I'm having the same problem with my iPhone 5
And I have sprint LTE
I don't know why when I'm at home video quality is good on my wifi but when I'm on the go video quality is terrible on this YouTube app
My iPhone 4 had better quality with the old YouTube app
Please fix this apple!

MMS video clip length?

When I'm sending an MMS including a video clip only max 10 seconds is avalible at the reciever... When I look at my sent MMS the clip is much longer (and reduced in size and quality). Other phones can send and recieve up to 20-25 seconds clips....
Is this an iPhone or carrier problem? I'm from Sweden and use Telia as carrier.
Is there some way to be able to send a bit longer MMS clips? Any tips or ideas?

Ok, no one has an answer...
I guess it's because US carriers does not have support for MMS yet...
I called Telia and asked them why my MMS video clips is so short... The total max MMS size is 300kbit. Even thow the quality and size is reduced before the clip is sent, I guess 10 seconds will fill it to max...
1. Is there any whay of checking the size of a sent MMS in the phone?
2. Is there any why of setting the size and quality of a MMS video clip (to make it a bit smaller)?
Any ideas?

How do I get Image Capture to recognize my iPhone so I can transfer videos to my MacBook ?

I cannot delete my old email from my Apple Discussions Profile.
I have an iPhone that is not letting me transfer videos I take with the Camera App onto my MacBook Air.
My photos transfer fine but the videos don't transfer at all.
I have tried Image Capture too and this does not even recognize my iPhone.
I have tried different USB cables and still no luck.
Even though one workaround is emailing videos to myself from my iPhone
this is not ideal because it compresses the files - thus losing video quality - and
it is super time-consuming because I have long videos that I need to break up into smaller clips
in my emails and I have almost 200 videos in all.
I think I have iPhone 5 but I don't know how to confirm.
Please advise.
Many thanks
<Email Edited By Host>

In Image Capture, a network printer / scanner will appear under "Shared". If it is hidden, a number will appear adjacent to it, representing the number of hidden devices.
If it still does not appear, try resetting the printing system: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
After you do that you will need to add the device again according to the instructions here:
OS X Mavericks: Set up a printer
Follow the instructions below Add a network printer

Why is playback video quality not as good as the source?

Hi. I'm not new to PrE but am new to the forum.
I've been using PrE 2 for about 7 years. I got a newer computer running Windows 7 and basically was forced to upgrade to PrE 12 because PrE 2 didn't run very well on the newer machine. Once I installed PrE 12, I was eager to jump into my first project on this machine.
I expected that with a newer machine and the latest software, I would get outstanding results--hopefully much better than what I always got with PrE 2 on the old machine. With PrE 2, it was not uncommon that the imported video seemed lossy on playback or for whatever other reason seemed not as good as the source video.
Unfortunately, the results on the new/new were no better than the old/old. So I switched to my wife's (even newer) machine running Windows 8 and got the same results. Then I thought that perhaps the output to DVD would be better than what I saw in the PrE editor. No dice.
The video quality of the source isn't the greatest (see below), but I expected that the PrE 12 would be no worse.
What went wrong?
Here's what i'm working with on the current project:
Machine 1:
HP EliteBook 8560w
Intel Core i7-2640M 2.8 GHz CPU
Window 7 Enterprise SP1
2 GB RAM
360 GB available HD space
Machine 2:
Dell Inspiron 3521
Intel Pentium 2117U 1.8 GHz CPU
Windows 8 Touchscreen
4 GB RAM
400+ GB available HD space
Video Source:
iPhone 4 video (MOV format)
Thanks for ANY help you can give me.
BTW, I noticed that Steve Grisetti is one of the frequent commenters on this forum. In case you're reading this, Steve, I want to thank you and Chuck E. for your PrE books. I purchased one several years ago and found it extremely helpful. And surprisingly, I found that with PrE 12 I could still use the book that I purchased before because most of it was still relevant to the new software. Still a great purchase!!

Please excuse if I mention things you may already be aware of, but I did not want to take anything for granted.
The installed RAM on Machine 1 is too low for HD work, and I wonder about the processor on Machine 2 even though it has more installed RAM than that on Machine 1. For now, I will bypass the usual drills and get to the source media and project settings.
1. From what I can put together, your source media from iPhone 4 are 720p up to 30 frames per second. That usually translates into a variable frame rate which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. The variable can lead to audio out of sync, but not necessarily. If all else fails, then it is onto HandBrake or the like to change the variable into a constant frame rate.
2. One of the features of version 11 and 12 is the program taking over the setting of the project setting based on the properties of the first video drag to the Timeline. Some times it does it OK, sometimes not. When not, then you set the project preset manually yourself based on what you know to be the properties of your source media. Please refer to the following which includes how to set the project preset manually.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
Based on what I have read about the properties of the iPhone 4 video, I would suggest the project preset (assuming a NTSC set up)
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD-LITE 720p30
One of the important things to remember is that Premiere Elements 11 and 12 have as their default project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
Full HD1080i30
and not the NTSC DV Standard of versions earlier than 11.
When 11 and 12 do not get the automatic project preset correct, they do not give you the closest fit, rather they give you their
default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which is not going to be appropriate for 720p video.
Classically it is written if you have the correct project preset you should have no colored line over the content when you bring the video to
the Timeline manually set. But, just the variable frame rate can trigger the unrendered indicator (orange instead of red in versions 11 and 12).
So, rendering the Timeline would be indicated to get the best possible preview under these circumstances.
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on either of your computers?
More later.

Video Quality on ATV2

I have both an ATV1 and ATV2. For the ATV1, I created video files using Handbrake from home recorded DVDs. I'd make 2 versions of the files, 1 for sync'ing to iPhone/iPod, and 1 for ATV1 (higher quality). I notice if I play the higher quality (i.e. larger) files on ATV2, the video is poorer with vertical lines in it. The iPhone (smaller) files produce better video on ATV2. However, the video quality on the ATV2 is well below watching them on the iMac monitor. Anyone have any recommendations on a better way to create videos for ATV2 from DVDs instead of Handbrake?

To jump in I'm in the same boat. I've been ripping DVD's with HB for years and just updated 2 AppleTV's to the latest models. So I have two ATV2's and one ATV1. The picture quality from all the HB movies on the ATV2 is really bad. I've tried to rip a DVD several times with HB 0.9.4 and the new version 0.9.5 with different presets like ATV2 in HB but the pic quality still stinks. Also using HB 0.9.5 to rip a movie and trying to watch in on ATV1 causes the ATV1 to freeze and crash.
Sooo *** is going on, I loved the quality and ease of HB and ATV1, now I have ATV2, which is cool with Netflix, but not if all my movies are going to look bad.
Anyone figure this out yet?
I'm going to plug in my ATV1 into the same TV and see if the pic quality changes from the ATV2, but there must be a way to get a better quality picture without having to reconvert all your movies, I hope.

Poor video quality when exporting from Adobe Premiere

Hey, I was just wondering if there was anyone here that could help me with this problem I am having with Adobe Premiere Pro.
I have used it to edit a movie together with MOV video files from my iPhone 3GS which are of decent quality but everytime I try to export it, the video quality is degraded significantly from the original. I have tried several different export options but none seem to do the trick.
Also, exporting with DivX just gives me an audio file with no video so I have been unable to try that.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Video Quality: iTunes Purchase vs. DVD rip

Is there a difference in video quality between, on the one hand, buying a movie on iTunes and, on the other hand, buying a DVD and ripping it to the iPhone?

Wildattorney,
Depending on encoder used, and settings there could be no difference, or vary widely.
However, discussing ripping DVDs is a murky area of copyright, and specifically against the Terms of Use for Apple Discussions.
Hope this helps,
