Low resolution DVD's from high resolution source

I took numerous photos on a recent trip. Almost all on my Nikon D 80 DSLR. I downloaded them to iPhoto. They are all sharp approx 3+ MB/image. I created a slideshow of the best of them in iPhoto complete with maps and music. In iPhoto you can create a DVD using iDVD. the only thing I did to the original slideshow was to add a title page with some text. I previewed the slideshow and all looks great. I proceed to burn a DVD. When I play the DVD on my computer the images are markedly degraded. I set the recording level to the highest available seting (professional quality). I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions?
I am working on an iMac (3 mos old) with the latest version of all software.

Hi
There are several layers to this
• DVD is as standard - interlaced SD-Video - and can never be any better than this - whatever program used.
• There are several factors that can reduce this even more
- Share to iDVD - from iMovie application
- iMovie'08 to 11 - as non of them can export interlaced SD-Video (to my knowledge - No working solution found) but they all discard every second line resulting in even more quality loss
There are other things too - as I can not re-call
I do
• Assemble my SlideShows in
- iMovie HD6 - or -
- FinalCut (any version)
- FotoMagico™
And they deliver 100% interlaced SD-Video to iDVD
If You need more - then look into Blu-Ray
- Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro incl BD-component

From Low Resolution Recording to High Resolution SVCD or DVD

I am wondering, if I record from a VHS tape at the lowest resolution onto my hard drive, then use WinProducer/Wincoder 2.0 (bundled together now) to convert it to a higher DVD quality resolution and burn it to a CD, will the quality be at least near what it would have been had I have recorded it as a high resolution file to begin with?
I thank any responses in advance.

The point of recording in low resolution is that it takes less data than high resolution. So if you save something in low resolution you have lost the extra data that was needed to describe the images in more detail.
By way of analogy, if I describe the plot of a film I have just seen (low resolution) you cannot use that description to retrieve the detail of each scene (high resolution).
So, unfortunately you cannot get a higher resolution than that in which you originally recorded it.
Sorry

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels?

I want to create a HD disc with my Adobe Premier Elements but I am getting low resolution. When I go to share the DVD to disc the form only offers 8pixels at the bottom. How do I burn this DVD in HD with higher number of pixels? I have read other forums on burning HD DVD's but I do not see the option to turn the 8 pi into 40 pi the one forum recommended. I want my DVD to be HD so I may sell these videos online for my business. I can't sell them the low quality they are burning now. Hopefully you can help me. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.
You cannot burn your high resolution video that you can view on your computer to an AVCHD on DVD disc
that will replay through a regular DVD player. But players are marketed under a variety of names with
different support opportunities. One manufacturer may call its product MultiMedia Player, media player, Blu-ray player,
etc.The bottom line is the specifications for each of the players that are candidates for the playback of
the AVCHD format on DVD disc or the format of interest.
If you upload your HD (1920 x 1080) video to YouTube, YouTube converts the video to flash format, but it goes up as the HD video.
But, beware. Look at the YouTube viewing setting when your uploaded video is playing back. The YouTube default is not
HD. It might be 360p, 480p. If you have a 1080p video, then before the YouTube playback, you should be looking
at the video with the YouTube 1080p HD setting for best viewing. That is a YouTube matter.
Best results depend on you
a. setting up the Premiere Elements project preset to match the properties of the source media. That means, if
you have 1080p source, you (manually) or the project (automatically) set the project preset at
NTSC
DSLR
1080p
DSLR [email protected]
or the PAL counterpart, depending on your region need.
b. if you upload your video to YouTube using the Premiere Elements feature, there is a HD preset, but you cannot
customize it.....if you need customization, then you can export your Timeline to a file...in this example
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30 or PAL counterpart
and then customize the preset under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset. In increase quality, you might look to increase
the Bitrate under Advanced Button/Video Tab settings - without compromising the file size.
Then you would upload that file to YouTube at the YouTube web site.
All of the above are factors that need looking into in order to determine the why for what you wrote
I have published a shortened advertisement video to YouTube- say 5 minutes-
and it is low quality
Often SD video upscaled to HD can present poorly. But, you are dealing with a HD workflow so that should not be introduced into the matter. The setup of the project and
the properties of the source video are important, but let us start with the above and rule in or out those considerations first.
Thank you. As always, any clarification needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

My address book and iPhone pics have become low resolution. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening when I start out with a higher resolution picture?

I guess I squeezed my entire issue into the subject line. lol When I sync my iphone to my laptop I notice that all my address book pics and iphone pics have become lower resolution, even though I started out with the resolution that I really needed to produce decenty address book printouts. I doubt I can correct the losses of resolution that have occurred but can anyone help me figure out how to prevent future losses? Thank you!

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

The Process of going from offline to online (low resolution to high resolu

As a long time editor on other systems I would like to know what is involved in taking a low resolution sequence and converting it to a high resolution one(ie offline to online quality). Please be detailed in your description of the process so I have a point of comparison to other systems Ive worked on. Please
include any issues/gotchas that may be involved in the process.

I can't because I have never done the offline/online process. Not in the traditional sense. But I heard that the move to 5.1 addressed most of the big issues with the Media Manager. Speed changes are still an issue, as I tried to consolidate a project recently that had them and the only problem spots were the speed changes.
I don't nest nor use subclips.

HT1044 Issues w/Low Resolution when trying to print pics from Iphone 4s

Been trying CONTINUALLY to print images from my Iphone 4S. Example, uploaded a few pictures from phone to Kodak site. Get error message, "Low Resolution, may print blurry", message for the photos. Yes, They DID print blurry. Recommended by someone, I changed the setting on my Iphone to HDR under Options for Camera. Still have the issue. What is purpose of having hundreds of pictures on iphone (that look wonderful on facebook, by the way), but you CaN'T print them out or order prints!??! Verrrry Frustrating. Any suggestions how to fix this issue? I understand there needs to be a certain level of pixels....however, there HAS to be a way to change them to a higher res to get good quality pictures. Help Please!! Thank you!

Simulating high and low resolution

Edit: I'm using CS5
I'm clueless about creating an effect to an existing image.
I want a very small center point of the image to be unchanged. Just outside of the center should appear as if it's slightly lower resolution, and the further you go from the center the lower resolution it appears. So by the time you get to the edge of the picture it's not easy to tell what you're seeing.
I think I want to do this one of two ways. I don't know which will look better or is possible.
1. Pixels combined to be the same color, perhaps some blur effect that increases away from the center, or,
2. An overlay of scattered black pixels only, with the concentration of black pixels increasing away from the center, or
3. the above two combined.

Hello Rich,
The actual excitation voltages you are reading don't go through the amplifier on the SCXI-1520. Therefore, when the excitation signals are included in the scan list, that can confuse NI-DAQ. If you look at the reading from the channel of the SCXI-1520, it will be off, but it will be off by a factor. What's happening is that when you read from the channel and then read from the excitation signals, no gain is being applied to the channel (even if you insert a range of +/- .1 V) but NI-DAQ thinks a gain is applied. So, NI-DAQ divides down the voltage even though it doesn't need to.
For instance, if you read from the channel of the SCXI-1520 first and include a limit of +/- 0.1 V, NI-DAQ thinks a gain of 100 will be used. The 1520 appl
ies no gain so your reading in LabVIEW will be 100 time less than it should be. This just happens when you are trying to apply a gain to a channel prior to reading from the excitation signals. I haven't found a source that says this, but my testing has pointed this out.
With regards to the PXI-4220, it should act the same way. If you take a look at the block diagram of the SCXI-1520 and the PXI-4220, both have the excitation signals (P+, P-) going directly to the multiplexer without passing through the amplifier. So the setup of both devices look the same. You can find the block diagram of the devices in the user manual's which I've linked below.

Low resolution AirPlay when using MacBook Pro but high when using iPad

I have a very strange issue. When I use Airplay from my iPad the image on the television is very clear and sharp, looking like a great HD picture. Wen I stream from my MacBook Pro, or mirror the screen, to the Apple TV the image degrades to a choppy, low-resolution, muddy version that looks terrible! It's strange because I have not had this issue before.
Anyone have any ideas on what is going on with this? Again, the image from the iPad is fine, the image from the MacBook Pro is low-resolution. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Maya,
I just had a new TV, DVD, Apple TV et al installed today, and the installer told me that he generally sees better performance using Airplay from an iPad vs a Mac. As I began to play around with my device today, this was certainly true for me as well. No idea why.

But the OP said that it was not like that before.

Is there a way to take a high resolution image, and trace it in a lower resolution?

Layers appear to need to be all in the same resolution, so I'm thinking layers are out. Is there any other ways to do this?

Hi Trevor, thanks for responding!
Basically, my goal is to use a higher resolution image as the basis for pixel art, but underlaying the higher resolution source picture under a much lower resolution layer, and "trace" out the basis for the pixel art on top of it. I suppose it would be a bit like onion skinning, but I'd need the two (layers? canvasses?) to be of radically different resolutions to accomplish what I'm trying to achieve. It's not a "size" issue, as I'd want the top to be the same physical size as the bottom, just have the top be, let's say 64 pixels by 64 pixels, and the bottom image to be 800 pixels by 800 pixels.
If that doesn't make sense, let me know, and I'll have another go at it!
Thanks very much!

Velocity measurement from low resolution encoders

Hi, I have 1024 pulse/1rotation encoders. I want to calculate or estimate angular velocity from this low resolution encoders. When I use dx/dt(derivative.vi) there are high and low readings which obviously seem wrong to me.I want to have a more smooth and accurate reading(and without much delay). Is there an efficient and accurate way of reading velocity measurements from this low resolution encoders? FOr example does Ni/Motion help? Or is there a velocity measurement .vi ?
Thank you.

As far as I remember (*) , the FP-QUAD will measure the velocity by counts during a fixed time slot. The maximum time is (was?) 26.??ms.
Your resolver has 1024 pulses (I assume 2 pulse streams with 90° shift) , the QUAD will count pulse edges, so you get 4096 counts per revolution. Together with the integration time (26.??ms), you get a resolution of 38.15 counts/s (See manual of the FP-QUAD) or an error of +/- 0.559 RPM
Of course you can read the 32bit counter of the QUAD in a user defined time periode and calculate the velocity.
If you have real slow movements, you can measure the time between each pulse. The accuracy will depend on the quality of your resolver and the resolution of your timer, however I think this couldn't be done with the FP-QUAD.
* My last task with FP-QUAD was 4 years ago, maybe new firmware and driver give you more choices now

FaceTime freezes when same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

FaceTime freezes when I call my son's iPad. Calling his iPhone in the same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

Thanks Mario, but I tried everything there before posting my question. I may not have been clear in my question since I accidently recorded the whole question as the title and tried to edit. In brief: I have no trouble connecting with my daughter's iPad or my son's iPhone. However, his iPad is sending much higher resolution pictures and we disconnect after about a minute. Oddly, he can hear and see me while my screen first freezes, then goes black and gives me a message of "reconnecting" until it quits trying and shows the buttons to end or redial. The picture quality difference is what is leading me to believe it is bandwidth related. However, I get anywhere from 5 to 10 MB download speeds; usually closer to 10. Last summer, I had 4 granddaughters on their iPads, a grandson on his gaming device and me on cell phone or pc, all using the bandwidth at once with no complaints. If there is a way to lower his outgoing resolution, I think that would help.

Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

Since syncing with iCloud all my photos in my photo app are much lower resolution than they were before. Can anyone explain what happened an how I might get back my high resolution photos?

Thanks again.
Unfortunately I don't have iPhoto (running Windows).
I did, however, figure out a work-around.
I created an empty directory on my computer, and told iTunes to "Sync Photos from..." that empty directory. This deleted all the photos from the iPod (go figure).
I then set the "Sync Photos from..." dropdown back to directory that actually contained all my photos, and sync'd again.
And, yes, they all loaded onto the iPod at their better, higher resolution.
Thanks for all your help. Photos (and wallpaper) are perfect, again

Downloads Low resolution images and not the high resolution as it did in 08

'm using iPhoto '09 , unfortunately iPhoto only downloads the low res images and not the high resolution images. This makes it pretty much worthless, since the low resolution images are really bad in iPhoto. There was not any problems with Iphoto in the past Thank You

What do you mean by "downloading"? There are a couple of ways to get image file out of iPhoto:
1 - select the thumbnails and drag them to the desktop. This will give you copies of the latest version of each photo.
2 - select the thumbnails, use the File->Export->File Export menu option. Depending on how you configure the export you will get the original, the latest version and/or a reduced size copy that you determine.
3 - select thumbnails and use the Share->Send to DVD. This produces a mini library of the photos you've selected which include the original files, thumbnail files and any modified/edited file. This method is intended for use on computers that are running iPhoto.
Which method are you using?

Exporting pdf from cs6 results in much lower resolution file

Hi,
I try to export various files photos,posters at jpeg and psd formats to pdf but I'm getting much lower resolution files eg from 2480x3508jpeg to 500x800 pdf. The same happens to all cs6 design standard suite. To the preview as well. I'm using mavericks. Does anyone know the solution?

Appropriate image size needs to be set in Photoshop. Leave all the layers - especially vector layers like Type and Shapes
Then you need to read through the options when saving as PDF.
In the General Tab choose 'High Quality print'.
In the Compression tab make sure the dpi is set to at least 300
That should be fine, so if not, come back and tell us what is happening.

How to fix Photoshop CS4 from opening in low resolution with mac retina?

My photoshop is opening in low resolution on my new Mac (I can see this from the application's 'get info'). How can I stop this from happening? It wasn't doing this before, but I needed support from Apple who told me to 'Verify' the hard drive in disc utility.
Please help!

CS4 was ready for retina displays? Are you sure?
It wasn't doing this before
Do you mean before you got a higher resolution monitor?
