Lightroom 3.4.1 Slideshow 1080p video poor quality on TV, only

I'm using Mac, everything is updated. I have the latest OS, yet had the same problem on snow leopard too.
Issue, After editing in Lightroom, I design a slideshow, export it both 720p & 1080p. I do not resize, the images remain there largest size, on average 3677x2451 240 if not 300. I burn a iDVD of the slideshow, play on TV and it's terrible quality.
The video is beautiful on the computer; websites...but pitiful on the TV. Whether 52" or 36", fuzzy images, highly downgraded, extremely poor in comparison. I take the same images, create a basic slideshow in iPhoto, again no changing of sizes, export to iDVD as "Large", burned in iDVD and the quality well surpasses that of Lightroom. It's HUGE in comparison. Complete shame as the L3 slideshow is so much better. Please advise. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Okay, I just tried dragging the mp4 1080p file and burning that to the dvd directly then tried to watch in dvd. Unfortunately it doesn't see it, must be because it's an mp4.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
There are any number of video authoring and editing applications that can convert 1080p LR MP4 slideshow files to BDMV format, which can then be played back on any Blu-ray player. A standard 4.7 GB DVD disk and even a USB thumb drive can be used to playback up to a 500 picture 1080p HD slideshow on a Blu-ray player.
Here’s a freeware program called multiAVCHD, which will definitely do the job for you:

You will need to download the program from the ‘Download (direct link),’ as the author’s site does not appear to be hosted any longer.

Flash CS4 Video Poorer Quality Than Flash 8

I've upgraded to Flash CS4 from Flash 8 Pro and find the quality of the FLV video is noticeably poorer now for the same Adobe Media Encoder settings. In addition, the video encoded using CS4 won't play on my web server. If I export from Premier Pro to AVI and then convert to Flash using my older Flash 8 the quality is good and it plays fine on my website.
There is something strange about the FLV and SWF files created by CS4. The system that is running Flash 8 (WinXP 32bit) cannot play the CS4 created FLV files from the desktop even though they are supposed to be Flash 8 or later compatible. The system that has CS4 installed (Vista 64bit) can play both version of FLV.
It appears that the FLV created by AME is not really Flash 8 compatible. Perhaps this is connected in some way to the poorer quality I'm getting
Any help appreciated. I do need to solve this before my XP/Flash 8 system goes away.
Peter Cassidy

It has always been this way, even in the Macromedia days. Older versions of Flash cannot open (or play, as you like it) content made in the newer versions. The .fla files are totally different. I suppose this goes too for the video encoded by different versions of Flash.
I wouldn't advise you to get rid of your old system. You may need it ....

Imported sd video poor quality in Encore cs5

Hi,
I have Encore cs5. Once I have imported the video files into the project panel, it won't seem to allow me to drag them into the 'create new item' box (next to the delete) bin. When I drag them from the project panel straight unto the timeline the quality of the video is severly effected. Is there something I need to do to the video in the project panel first before dragging into the timeline? And if someone can tell me why I can't get them inot the 'create new item' box that would be helpful too
Thanks
Simon

Stanley,
Just speculation here, but there is not the same need for the New Icon to create a Timeline to match the source footage, as one will have fed Encore the proper Assets to begin with - it is not an NLE, like PrPro, so is greatly limited as to what one can Import.
Like you, I always use File>Import>As a Timeline (for my Video), and Import>As an Asset for the Audio, with Import>As a Menu for my PSD's. I find no reason to deviate from that workflow.
Now, if one was ganging Videos onto a common Timeline, they would do it slightly differently, but I do not do that.

Ipad - videos poor quality in ios7

After upgrading to ios7 on my iPad then all my videos play in really bad quality - also the ones which are downloaded to the iPad. I have specifically paid extra money to buy high definition films and series and now they look as bad as standard 720p. really terrible resolution. What to do?

Same here. I use SIRI in Germany and the quality of SIRI in GM was way better. Now the voice sounds more "robotic" like the SIRI voice in IOS 6
Oh, a friend of mine uses IOS7 on his Iphone 5 and the voice-quality of SIRI is WAY better. I´m using a Iphone 5S... Can anyone confirm that this problem only exists on the Iphone 5S?

Burning iPhoto slideshow thru iDVD, poor quality

Hello,
i am having quality issues concerning my slideshow when burned onto a DVD thru iDVD. the slideshow is created in iPhoto with photos taken with a 10 megapixel camera. the photos look great when viewed thru my camera on my HD flatscreen tv. when i play the burned DVD on my tv, they look like low resolution photos and not as large on the screen. i have "professional quality" and NTSC format selected in the project settings. when i view the backed-up photos saved on the burned DVD as a DVD-ROM on my computer, they look great. help, suggestions?

i doubt Apple would have included three settings of quality in it's program if it couldn't deliver. especially one entitled "professional quality".
That has NOTHING to do with the quality of the slideshows that are produced - 0.3 megapixels says it all!
'Best Peformance' uses fixed bit-rate encoding that produces a DVD with about as high a playback bit-rate as a player can handle. 'Best Performance' can fit up to 60 minutes of content on a single layer disc. 5 minutes or 55 minutes, the encoded bit rate is the same.
'High Quality' uses a fixed bit-rate encoding rate that approximately fills a DVD with your content (the fixed encoding bit-rate is adjusted based on your content length). 'High Quality' can fit up to 120 minutes of content on a single layer disc. If you have 60 minutes of content or less, the bit-rate will be close to the 'Best Performance' bit-rate (although experience has shown that 'Best Performance' looks better than 'High Quality with less than 60 minutes of content). 120 minutes of content will be compressed more than 60 minutes of content.
'Professional Quality' (new with iDVD '08) uses two pass variable bit-rate encoding. If you have 60 minutes of content or less, the bit-rate will be close to the 'Best Performance' bit-rate. 'Professional Quality' can fit up to 120 minutes of content on a single layer disc. As your content gets closer to 120 minutes, 'Professional Quality' will usually look better than 'High Quality'.

EXPORTING to mp4 hd video - poor quality

Hello, i have the latest imovie, and a brand new macbook pro, all updated. I am trying to export a movie as a mp4 using the h.264 encoding in HD quality. When it's all done exporting the quality is really really bad.
Any advice as to what i'm doing wrong? The whole point is so that i can play hd movies i have made on imovie on a playstation, .mov are not supported

What settings are you using?
Also, you can do a search for my post on the settings that worked for me.

When I try to import video, Lightroom-4 will not recognize the video files. How do I fix that?

Lightroom 4 will not recognize the video files. It will only import the photo files. How do I import the video files?

You might provide some additional information, such as what types of videos, from what cameras, and what version of LR4 you are using.

Hello guys, so i have a problem with my iMac, i have some 1080p videos and they look amazing when i watch them on my 42'' HDTV but when i watch them on my iMac they look very grainy and i dont understand why, i tried Quicktime and Vlc and it's the same, the video plays fine but quality looks poor.
What can i do to fix this?

http://reviews.cnet.com/digital-camcorders/sony-action-cam-wi/4505-6500_7-354267 16.html
The above Cnet review says it really doesn't play nice with large screens because of its 16Mbps recording rate.
Maybe that is the problem.

It doesn't really matter if it's an 10 or 8 bit video, it always falls back to software decoding, spouts out these error messages and as a result
the video is completely fucked up or just stutters/drops frames like crazy. This only happens with 1080p videos, 720p or below is just fine.

Poor quality Skype Video Calls with good connectio...

suffering with Poor quality Skype Video Calls and also voice.
My connection is 8 mb Download and .6mp upload, my wife in another country has Fiber so is alot faster again.
I am using Windows 8.1 and also a Ipad Air, same issues on both.
The Windows Pc has a nice microsoft Hd webcam (not one of the cheapones) using a i7 pc with 16g of Ram and a Gaming Graphics Card.
There is very little software on the pc, a couple of games, no itunes, Downloading software and very little running in the background. I use Window Defender and Anti virus and have recently done a re instal of windows and everything is updated driver and software wise, including skype.
The Ipad is the Apple air.
When connecting to my Wife in the Uk the reception isnt great picture wise and after a little while gets bad and also disconects alot and then comes back with a worse picture and call quality. I have even had the bad connection pop up. I have ran speed tests at these points and all are showing fine.
I also have a issue when calling my Dads land line in the uk where he has trouble hearing what im saying, muffled and echos
I am a premium paying customer and started to get a bit frustrated.

@Furgan, in which country are you located? Some countries and ISP-s are shaping Skype traffic. One known country is Saudi Arabia for example.
If would help us if you could please reproduce the issue and provide logs as described in this link https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12321/how-do-i-create-log-files under Skype for Windows Desktop and attach it to your post?
Thank you

When i play 1080p video on my new lg tv from my macbook retina late 2013, it stutters.

When i play videos from my ssd from my macbook pro retina it stutters. Mostly it happens with 1080p videos.
Ive read different discussions about this topic and ive already tried to set my tv in cinema mote. This didnt help.
Also i tried to turn off tru motion, this didnt help as well.
Ive also tried different videoplayers but it didnt make a difference.
When i play it on my internal macbook screen it doenst stutter at all. It only happens on my external lg tv screen with hdmi.
Ive tried different hdmi cables as well but this too didnt make a difference.
Ive also heard about different refresh rates but i doent know how i can adjust this on my lg tv (lg46LM760).
Please help the stuttering is very annoying and there is no quick awnser available anywhere on the web. And since this is a common problem with many people the awnser probably helps a lot of people.

Additionally, you can run the Apple Diagnostics test from home, though it would not be as reliable as Apple's in house diagnostics in detecting an issue:

TV Anywhere poor video capture quality

I have a Celeron 1.7, 20 and 60 gig hd at 7200 rpm, 512M of ram. My capture is of very poor quality. I have used the MSI software and also Virtual Dub. Still poor video capture quality. Anyone tell me what I can do or how to do this right?
geo-ela

If you use a compressing codec in real time, you need lotsa CPU.
Try using a lossless codec such as Huffyuv (you'll need lotsa disk) for the real time capture and then compress afterwards.

Quicktime not playing Apple ProRes (Proxy) 1080p video - help!

All my software updates have been made. Does anyone know if I actually need a specific ad on??!! Or what is going on here!!??
Many Thanks

Does Mac support 1080p video?

Does mac and imovie 11 support 1080p video?

"Got your "Ins and Outs of iMovie" eBook; did not finish reading.
Read Appendix B (720p) or C (1080p). Here is some additional information for you:
When you next launch iMovie, and create a new project, the Project Properties will show 25fps or 30fps.
However, when you drag the first 50p or 60p clip into the project, when you check Project Properties you will see the fps field is blank.
Do not click in this Properties field.
From this point onward, iMovie will work at 50fps or 60fps.
Animated effects created by iMovie will be, however, created at25fps or 30fps. Each frame will be repeated twice.
iMovie must now process twice the number of frames per second, so it may be more sluggish.
