Linking Macbook Pro to TV (Poor Video Quality)

Hello All,
I had a 2 questions regarding linking my video from my MacBook Pro to my TV. I bought the cable that allows me to display videos etc on my TV, but the graphic quality was very poor. The TV is HD and only 2 years old, and my MacBook is brand new with 512 video card.
1. After connecting and getting the video to display on the TV the picture quality was grainy and the color was off. Is there a way to improve the picture quality &/or a link to a idiots guide for doing this.
2. I will be teaching soon and I wanted to be able to display Flash &/or video clips on a projector in front of the class, but I dont want the quality to be poor (as in the problem above).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if its just pointing me to a cite with more info on how to do this.
Thank you again for your help,
Valance

I am having the same problem, hooking up a MBP Core 2 Duo to a Samsung HD LCD. My display settings are 1080p and I am connecting from DVI to HDMI.
My problem is the same, that the image appears grainy and the color is way off. Tried some different color profiles, but I am dissapointed that my HD show doesn't seem to be the same HD quality that I am used to in real HD broadcasts.
Also looking for good tips or an idiot's guide.

Very poor video quality after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I have very poor video quality after transcoding the video file (MPEG) in Adobe Encore CS5.1. Below you see my used settings in my filmproject.
The problem exists after transcoding in Adobe Encore CS5.1. I checked all steps and found out that there is no problem until transcoding. My exported file in MPEG has very good video and audio quality.
Facts:
1. Camcorder: Panasonic AG-AC160AEJ
Operating System : Windows 7, 64 Bit, Ultimate edition
Source files: MTS files
Recording settings (clip settings):
Type: MPEG Movie
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate: 25,00
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1,0
2. Sequence settings in Premiere Pro
Sequence was created from Clip directly with settings above.
3. Exporting settings in Adobe Premiere Pro:
Match sequence settings was activated. Now other changes were set.
4. Exported File:
Video
Image Size: 1920 x 1080
Data Transfer Rate: 25920 kBit / s
Frame rate: 25
Audio:
Bit rate: 384 kBit / s
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Frequence: 48 kHz
5. Transcoding settings in Adobe Encore:
I used different transcoding settings such as automatic DVD Transcoding, CBR and VBR.I also set “use maximum render quality”. But all results were always the same: very poor quality.
Why does the encore transcoding cause such bad video quality?
How can I solve this problem?
Please help me soon.
Best regards.

Hi Ann,
1) I did not only „Automatic (based on source)“ options in my tests, but also many other customized options.
The results are very poor. I have done a new test with the following settings. The result is also poor:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_mpeg2dvd_1.m2v
Export Settings:
Format: MPEG2-DVD
Preset: Custom
Codec: MainConcept MPEG Video, Quality: 5
Frame Rate: 25 fps
Field Order: Upper
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Automatic (based on source)
Render at Maximum Rate: [active]
Bitrate Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
Minimum Bitrate (Mbps): 5
Target Bitrate (Mbps): 9
Maximum Bitrate (Mbps): 9
GOP Settings
M Frames: 4
N Frames: 12
Use Maximum Render Quality: [active]
Multiplexer: None
2) Why shouldn’t I use the “Match Sequence Settings” in exporting? Because of the big output file size?
I used it and the results are very good as I expected:
Download link: http://www.klavierlehrer-bayern.de/download/test_MatchSequenceSettings.mpeg
Export Settings
Match Sequence Settings [selected]
1920 x 1080, 25 fps, Upper, Quality 50
User Maximum Render Quality: [active]
3) I tried also Dynamic Link in PremierePro (to Encore).
The results are also poor.
4) I will test also LagarithLoslessCodec and frameserving +DGMPGDec. But the video is vertical long drawn-ot.
I think I did not use it correctly.

Router Type: Symmetric - poor video quality (blocky)

Hi,
Back in October I posted a question about poor video quality...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2197561
I wanted to posted a resolution, but apparently the topic "has been archived - replies are not allowed." so I have opened this new one.
With thanks to Ralph for his always informative response and Luis Villazon from MacFormat (Q&A Issue 221) I had a better understanding of the issue, but unfortunately the suggestions failed to resolve the issue.
Then I discovered the DrayTek Vigor 120 ADSL2+ Ethernet Modem.
This is a true modem in that it does nothing else, nothing fancy, no NAT, not DHCP. Just a modem.
Connecting this to the AEBS and setting the 'Connect Using' parameter to PPoE gave control back to the Airport.
iChat now works as expected.
You might say the 'Vigor 120' is the Airport's missing modem !
Regards
Richard

Thanks for letting us know.

HT1338 macbook pro retina webcam poor quality

I am very happy with my MacBook Pro Retina Display.
However, the webcan produces very poor image quality, feels like out of focus. (using facetime, imessage, skype, all software the same)
I went back to my Macbook pro 2011 version, the same 720p webcam, produces very clear picture.
I read quite a few people having this issues but looks no firm answer. I hope its a software issue.
I wonder if Apple is looking into this problem.
Thanks

Yes, I have recently noticed the exact same issue. RMBP has very poor webcam quality and is certainly not 720p (HD) display.
I have compared it to my desktop webcam, a logitech (HD720p camera) and images were by far much more superior for my logitech webcam.
I hope they do a software fix on the cameras.

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

Poor Video Quality on DVD Created by Encore

I am using Premiere Pro CS6 to edit video shot in 1280 x 720. I've linked the sequences from Premiere to Encore and created the DVD in Encore. I did not run the sequences through Media Encoder first but, rather, let Encore handle the transcoding and compression.
The video when viewed in Premier looks great. The video when previewed in Encore looks great. But the quality of the video when burned to a DVD is lousy. I believe that the video on the DVD is only standard definition, but still the text is blurry and the images are fussy and jagged, more than I expected. Is there something else I should be doing in Premiere or Encore to ensure a higher quality DVD?
Thanks,
Dan

Well, I thought I followed the advice I was given pretty closely but I am still having a problem. I volunteered to shoot video for a Special Olympics and was hoping to have already delivered the final video, so any help you might yet be able to offer would be appreciated.
For testing purposes I exported just 3 Sequences from Premiere into Media Encoder (total video length was less than 50 minutes) , transcoded them, and them brought them into an Encore project, but the resulting DVD is still of very poor quality. The video is noticeably blurry and a bit jumpy, and the text is also blurry.
I am viewing the DVD on a 42 inch LED TV. If I view the Media Encoded .m2v files directly from the computer (i.e., not using the DVD) on a large LED monitor they look pretty sharp. This leads me to suspect the somehow I am not using Encore correctly.
I will ultimately split the video in two, using 2 DVDs for different segments, so that the total across the 2 DVD is the original 100 minutes.
Here are my specs:
Original Assets
The original video was shot in 1280 x 720p.
My sequence timelines in Premiere were also 1280 x 720p
All lower thirds text was created in Photoshop at 1280 x 720
Media Encoder
All the video was exported directly from Premiere
Format: MPEG-2 DVD
Codec MainConcept MPEG Video

GOP M Frames: 3 (default, I assume since I did not change it)
GOP N Frames: 12 (again, default, I assume)
Encore (all default settings as far as I know)
Only 2.1GB of a 4.7GB DVD was used
I burned directly to a DVD disk
Project Settings:

Macbook Pro Retina and Yosemite Video Corruption?

So I have a Macbook Pro Retina (mid 2012), 2.7ghz i7, 16gb ram, which has the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB video card and integrated video. I am running Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10
I have been experiencing a lot of video corruption in different applications, it doesn't seem to be limited to just one application or two -- it is happening in Safari, Mail, Photoshop, and others.
I am attaching screen shots to show:
Here is a video when it decides to flash weird video garble:
Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8RAyj9L_nQ
Has anyone experienced this same problem? is there an official name or description for what is going on? Is there a fix? It is quite frustrating.

I have the same problem with my older white Apple Wireless Extended Keyboard, which had been working fine with my 2009 iMac. But I experience the issue sporadically with my new Mac Mini. I've read reports of people resolving some BT issues by turning off "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" in the Advanced pane of the Bluetooth System Preferenes Pane.
There are also people having the issue on iOS devices using various Apple BT keyboards. No help, but interesting to note that it's happening across various devices, keyboard models, and OSs.

I cannot get my Macbook pro to play all videos (specifically the Apple tuto

Hi,
I hope someone can help me!!!
I recently purchased the a new Macbook pro (13inc) and having trouble watching videos. After downloading two applications (Dixv Player, and Flash player) in particular after reading the forums here, I can now watch Youtube clips, and films. HOWEVER - I went to go onto a tutorial on the apple website and it wouldn't play. I can hear the audio but there is no picture When I click the video tutorial it opens the video in Dixv.
Really hope someone can help!
Thank you in advance.
Johnny

Thanks so far for your help Andy.
The main problem I got is that I want to be able to play all videos from Apple tutorials, to other downloaded items / videos from various sites. I have deleted the Divx programme as suggested, however, I then cant play other films.
Im in a bit of catch 22 situation, ay? If I delete Divx I can watch apples tutorials but cant watch a load of other videos.
Ideally (hence why i got the Macbook Pro) I would like the play all videos!!!???
Thanks again for your help Andy and any other suggestions are much appreciated, or, if you could direct me to where I may be able to find more advice.
Thanks again.
Johnny
P.S
There must be a way whereby my Macbook pro can find the appropriate programme (ie, when clicking on a video link) to play the tutorials, through Quicktime player for example.

Here is a video I took of it not booting (basically some sound, a light, and that's it).
After watching the video, doesn't anyone know what it probably is?

Again, what an amazing group of people to help out a "poor" school teacher.
Just run to the store... Glad the article helped you! Please tell us how the issue went and make a copy of the article I sent you. This will help the Genius Bar employees to proceed correctly with the issue.
Good Luck!
