Ipod to TV: what's the picture quality?

Did anyone have the chance to play a downloaded video from their Video iPod onto a TV via the dock connector?
I wonder what the quality is like since the video are encoded at 320x240?
Feedback greatly appreciated!

Do you remember VideoCds? Same size. Do not watch in anything larger than a 20" SD TV. BTW, it is a guess but I think no one has the unit... so any responses (like mine) are speculative.

I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac, editing in imovie and burning on idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do?????

I am attempting to convert 8mm video cassettes to dvd using a video cassette player, elgato video capture with rca/usb connections to the mac then editing in imovie and burning dvd-r using idvd. The picture quality is awful. What can I do??????

At what point is the video quality bad? Is it bad on capture? I would recommend using an s-video 1394 firewire converter instead. They capture the video at a higher bit rate. If you have a lot of 8mm tapes to capture, invest in a stand alone DVD recorder. They capture and compress in one shot. If you need to rip it back from the DVD into iMovie again, I would recommend using DVDxDV.

Looking for a monitor that will match the picture quality on my Macbook Pro.

Today i bought a 27" LED Monitor w/ 2560 X 1440 resolution. The specs on the box seemed to match that of a thunderbolt display yet when connected (via HDMI) the picture quality was significantly lower than that of my Macbook Pro (13.3" 2.9 Ghz July 2012). Im likely to return this monitor due to the poor quality. What i want to know is what kind of monitor is out there that will match the color and quality of my macbook pro. I am willing to lose monitor size in return for this quality but i dont want to spend $1,000 on a thunderbolt display (i spent $400 on this monitor). Any one out the with monitor knowledge to help me out in my purchasing decision?

For anyone out there with a similar problem, after a few days of researching the issue i've found a solution. The problem being that HDMI cables wont support resolution higher than 1080p (1920 x 1080) therefore using an HDMI connection, your monitor wont output to its full potential (that is ofcourse if it can support higher than 1920 x 1080). The solution is to use a DisplayPort connection. DisplayPort is the best connection for computer monitors because it can output higher resolutions than hdmi and in most cases DVI. Today it seems like everyone is using HDMI to connect everything and it has become the standard. In the case of TV/Cable HDMI is probably your best choice because it is more properly formatted for that type of display but if you want the best picture quality for computer monitors, i'd stick with a DisplayPort cable. For compatibility with your Macbook Pro/Air/iMac, you do need to buy a MiniDisplayPort to DisplayPort converter cable to make the connection.
Again this is just how to output a non-apple display to your apple computer. If you can afford them, the ThunderBolt and Apple Cinema displays are both great monitors that can output some really high quality picture as well.

I've got a MacBook pro 15' running 10.6.6. I want to use an external monitor for my graphic design work running Adobe software and thought I'd try an HD TV. I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing.

I ran a Mini Display to HDMI lead to the TV but the picture quality was disappointing. I also tried a Mini Display to VGA lead and that wasn't much better. I tried all variations of resolutions in System prefs - Displays but nothing helped. Am I getting something wrong? Thanks all.

In addition to pixel density, you are up against the translation driver card in the TV.
If you read the fine print of computer-resolution-capability in the TV user guide, you will see a chart as tall as the manual page. At the top is the smallest resolution capable, at the bottom is the full use of the 1080p in the TV.
Mac falls into the top 25% of the page, maxing out at 1366x768 often. This is because the TV control card is expected to do too much of the work, but is not designed for computer-monitor processing.
I looked at the resolution charts on 2 TVs before deciding to buy a 1080p LCD monitor that has a TV interface/connector. Computer monitor first, TV second. But the thing is only 27 in. Good thing TV is not as important to me as it is to others.

Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic. What is the fix?

Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic. What is the fix?

If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary). Note how this Music tab is set up. Maybe you can do a screen shot.
Now, select the new iPod in iTunes. Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod. Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change.
The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.

Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

For the picture quality which one i should choose, canon 700d or 60d??

Hey guys, im planning to buy a camera...
because i'm not have so much money so i'm interested at 2 models.... EOS 60D and EOS 700D
60D are old one than 700D... If i want a better picture which camera I should choose??
I usually shooting at JPEG mode....
And if I saw the spec the processor are quietly different (DIGIC 5 on 600D and DIGIC 4 on 60D), is the processor affect very much on the picture quality.....
and my notes, i dont like to buy twice so I would buy for the best....... thanks guys....
---HarrY---

The 700D has more "gee wiz" features (touch-screen, etc.) But the 700D is more of an "entry" range body and the 60D is a "mid-range" body (Canon has entry level bodies, mid-level bodies, and pro-level bodies.)
On a "pro" and "mid-range" body, the body has two dials... one just behind the shutter button and the other on the back of the body. These are strategically located so that when shooting in manual mode, you can put your index finger on the front wheel (usually to adjust shutter speed) and you can but your thumb on the rear-dial (usually to adjust aperture/f-stop). This allows for fairly rapid use in manual mode without needing to take your eye away from the viewfinder.
The 60D has that layout (more like a pro body). The 700D does not.
The imaging senssors on those two bodies are actually the same generation (both use Canon's 18MP sensor). You wont actually see any significant difference in image quality between the two bodies.
The 60D is "weather sealed" (I put that in quotes because you should NOT confuse this for meaning it is water-proof. It is not waterproof ... do not submerge it. That would be very bad.) Weather sealed means that openings in the body for buttons and dials and body seams all have gaskets or o-rings which are generally regarded as being good enough to seal out water or dust as long as it's not under any pressure. If you get caught in the rain... not a big deal. Just towel it off (do not open the body until you towel it off... it's obviously not sealed when doors are open or your lens is removed.) Many of Canon's "L" series lenses (not all of them) are also weather sealed. So keep in mind that while the body may be sealed and able to deal with some rain... the lens may not necessarily be able to deal with some rain.
DIGIC V does have better JPEG processing than DIGIC IV... although you may not necessarily be able to notice the difference.
I've seen (and so have you) stunningly gorgeous images coming from very old and very basic DSLR bodies. The largest difference in image quality will be you... your skill. Buying a Canon 1D-X flagship body will not ensure your images look fantastic no more than buying a Steinway concert grand piano will help you play beautiful music... if you never learned to play a piano. You ultimately have to learn photography, exposure, and how to take advantage of your camera.
If you plan to learn to shoot in manual mode, you will likely prefer the control and ergonomic layout that the 60D offers. If you prefer to shoot in automatic, semi-automatic, or scene modes, then you will likely prefer the 700D.

What is the Best Quality Export??

Hi. I am editing a documentary, and i need to know what is the *BEST QUALITY export for my movie out of Final Cut Pro (6.0.2)*. All the video was f*ilmed using the Canon XL1S*. When i export and burn to DVD the image looks a bit fuzzy. I don't know if it is some how compressed, but *it does not look as "crisp" or sharp as the original image recorded onto the Mini DV*. I have been exporting test using the *"Current Settings" of the timeline wich i believe is the DV NTSC 48 kHz* setting. *Please Help!!!*

Shane's Stock Answer #3: How to output lossless Quicktime movies
To export your project so there is no loss in quality, simply go to the File Menu and select EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE. Not Quicktime Conversion, fot this will compress the footage. Make sure the settings match your timeline settings, make it self contained, do NOT recompress the footage, and you are set.
I believe that you are doing it right. Now, to get that into DVD SP the best way possible, you have to use Compressor and the BEST QUALITY presets. Take THOSE resulting files into DVD SP.

Ipod photo show up only the picture of file with exclamtion mark :( please help

I'm using ipod phot and I couldn't use after I format all the things in my ipod.

I did charge over night but still can't use...
However when I plug in with my mac it show up DO NOT DISCONNECT
but it's not show up on itunes.. it's only show up on desktop and write NO NAME
I tried to restart many times already but it still the same...
Please helpp

See here: iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
One you worth trying is to manually force the iPod into Disk Mode . This may the iPod at least mount as an external drive on your PC or Mac. If it does, I would try a low level format of the device to help try and correct and drive errors. See this article for instructions on reformatting the iPod using either Windows or a Mac.

What is the audio quality on an iPod Shuffle?

I have just received a free iPod shuffle. I would like to know whether the sound quality is different on all different models/varieties of iPods. I am an audiophile and quality is 1st priority. If one has music files as AAC format with highest bit rate possible, will it sound exactly the same on a Shuffle as on an iPod classic, or what about an iPod touch? Where can I find a description of the different audio quality of playback on these different size devices?
Thanks

Apple does not publish audio specs on the various iPods and this information is tough to come by. They all sound pretty similar, some will have slight differences from others due to the difference in chipsets used.
Personally I think my 1st Generation iPod Shuffle has slighter better bass than the 2nd Generation Shuffle, 3rd Generation is on a par with the 1st Gen, my fifth generation iPod sound cleaner than my 160GB iPod Classic and I prefer the 2nd Generation Nano sound to all of them.

What's the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?

Whats the best quality export for a 720 X 480 size, 24fps mp4 file?
This movie trailer will be sent to a distributer overseas.
The export I been resorting to lately is MPEG 2 DV High Quality as oppose to anything HDTV because it just shrinks the picture, obviously lol
Do I have anymore options besides Mpeg 2: NTSC DV High Quality?

Lagarith is a codec that you install separately. A very brief Search would have given you that info.
You can access the Lagarith option (once installed) using the Microsoft AVI format, and selecting Lagarith under Video Codec in the Video tab.
