Multiple video conference -- blurry picture

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and am testing iChat AV. In the one-to-one mode, the incoming picture is way sharper than my old Mac. However, when I go to a multiple video conference, using a couple of test sites as the incoming pictures, both incoming feeds are blurry. Incoming audio is fine for both. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for the advice. In my office, we three all have MacBook Pros and are experiencing the same problem. We changed the QuickTime streaming speed and we set the bandwidth limit to NONE but are still seeing blurry images. The funny thing is that it works well, with a sharp image, when we are only two chatting. But add the third and both become blurry (though my picture of myself is still sharp). Any ideas? Thank you in advance.

Hi Gurus
Does anyone of you knows if there is the possibility to have multiple people video conference with pc and MAC users. If yes what programs will be needed?

Multiple Video Conferences

Hi all,
Another question re setting up FMS to do multiple vid conferences:
Say I have 3 or 4 video feeds being generated from different locations, and those 3 or 4 video feeds are going to be consumed by others. Can I do that through the same NetConnection/FMS application? Or do I need to create multiple FMS applications (i.e. one for each feed)? I currently have one feed on a NetConnection, but I'm looking to expand it. Thanks!

Yes... you can publish multiple streams to a single application... you just need to define unique names for each stream.

Does Skype now allow multiple video chats during c...

I was doing a Skype video call recently and I had a couple of people in the conversation. One of the people had his web cam on and everyone else had their web cams off. The person who had his on had some old plan or feature in place on his account that allowed for mulitple video chats in a call when Skype did not support that feature with newer accounts at the time. All of a sudden, I saw a message appear on the screen about being able to add multiple video chats to my Skype call for free. Has Skype really gone and added the capability of multiple video conferences during a call?

Group Video Chats are now FREE.

This has been the case since Premium service was disconnected (about ½ year ago):

Multiple iChat Video Conference Windows?

Just like many people I am getting ready to participate in my fantasy football draft and we have a few people that will need to be at the draft remotely. We are planning on using iChat to video conference with the people who have intel based iMacs running Leopard.
Is there a way to have multiple one-on-one iChat video conferences open at the same time instead of a 3-way conference all together? Meaning I want to be able to have an open one-on-one connection with one person but have another one-on-one video connection separately so I can mute one video connection but not the other.
I guess a different question would be can you have one 3-way video conference but only mute your conversation to one of the participants but not the other?
Thanks for you assistance!

No cant be done.

How do I correct blurry pictures in iMovie? They are clear when I pause the video but blurry when playing the video.

Try sharing and see if the effect is still present when you play the shared movie. It can happen when playing within iMovie if there are insufficient resources to play a full resolution.

Video Conference with 3 people

If two of us have G4's and the third person has a G5
can he "Host" the videoconference (since he has the G5)???

This is from the help file on Ichat...
Hosting a multiperson video conference
iChat AV for Mac OS X v10.4 supports video chatting with up to three buddies at once. To do this, one buddy "hosts" the video conference, and the others participate. Everyone in the video conference sees and hears the other participants.
You can invite three people to a conference at once, or let participants join and leave as the conference goes along.
To see if your buddy supports multiperson video conferencing, check the icon next to your buddy's picture. If the icon is multiple videocamera icons, you can invite your buddy to a multiperson video conference.
If the icon is multiple audio icons, you can invite your buddy to participate in the video conference using audio only. Your buddy joins the conference and is represented by their buddy icon and a sound-level meter, so you can tell when that buddy is talking.
To start a multiperson video conference:
Select the buddies in your Buddy List you want to invite to the video conference. Press and hold the Command key to select more than one buddy. Click the videocamera button at the bottom of your Buddy List.
You can invite three people to a conference at once, or invite participants as the conference goes along.
To host a multiperson video conference, you need:
An iMac G5, Power Mac G5, or fast dual Power Mac G4 (Any computer with a G5 processor or dual G4 processors that are each 1GHz or faster)
A fast broadband Internet connection (384 Kbps or faster).
Mac OS X 10.4 or later
To join a multiperson video conference, you need:
A Mac mini, iMac G5, Power Mac G5, fast iMac G4, fast eMac, fast PowerBook G4, fast iBook G4, or fast Power Mac G4 (Any computer with a G5 processor, a single G4 processor that's 1GHz or faster, or dual G4 processors that are each 800 MHz or faster).
A broadband Internet connection (100 Kbps or faster).
Mac OS X 10.4 or later
To see which processors are in your computer, choose Apple > About This Mac. The dialog displays the number of processors, their type, and their speed.
To find out the speed of your Internet connection, contact your Internet provider or refer to the literature they provided you. Note that the speed listed in the provider's literature is a maximum speed and that the actual speed may be lower.

Cannot select multiple video clips at a time

With the previous version, I could simply select all and import all my videos and pictures at once, in the order I copied them to my hard drive. Now, I have to "select entire clip" then, press letter E on every video clip, then, go back and add pictures. This is a huge downgrade from the previous version of IMovie.

hello ,thanks for jour mail ,but my English is very very bad sorry but
many thank for your feedback. Hav a nice Day

IChat AV 3.1.1 (v429) Video Conference Problem :(

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with iChat and I hope you can help me guys. I don't know what to do, I never had this problem before. When I start an video conference I can see myself, the picture is kinda blur though..I can't see the person I am having the video conference with and the other way around..can anyone tell me what's wrong. My iChat was working fine a couple of days ago and all of the sudden it stopped working..
I re-installed ichat and the problem still persists.
I changed my quick time streaming settings to 1.5 Mbps..and it's still not working..
Please can anyone help me to solve this problem??
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

Hi everyone ,
how are you doing? Thanks for your help Defcom(UK) ,that was the missing piece of my puzzle. If you were here I'd give you a big kiss. Well, maybe not.. I think a hug would do just as good.
Fortunately, I noticed the problem right after installing iGlasses, so I was able to figure out the problem immediately. I deinstalled iGlasses, unfortunately deinstallation of iGlasses won't fix it either. What you have to do is deinstall iChat and remove all preferences,logs & iChat folders. The best and easiest way to do it, is to use an application like cleanapp, you can find more information on cleanapp at http://synium.de/cleanapp/index.html .
So after you have wiped off iChat completele with all files and settings from your system, download iChat or reinstalled it from your Mac Os X Tiger dvd. And here is the very important part, after you have installed iChat again usually it should work but in case your problem still persits, you should do what Defcon(UK) suggested.. you need to apply the Intel Combo update..so your iChat messenger is upto date..Voilà tout..the problem is solved..
Thank you once again for your help Defcom(UK) ..
Have a nice day..
Kind Regards,
Stu

The camera of my Ipone 4 is not focussing and takes blurry pictures up close...

The camera of my Ipone 4 is not focussing and takes blurry pictures up close... I also cannot use apps like i-nigma because it won't recognise the sign.
Can anyone help me with this?

Hi there Brittney827,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Transferring multiple videos by windows explorer. Error code 0x80030001

Phoostream is a great feature. Transferring photos have never been so easy. However, I do have a qualm regarding the service and that is that it does not sync videos! Therefore, I still have to go back to the arduous processes of plugging it into my computer and selecting the videos to be transferred to my computer. However, it wasn't as easy as I had expected. Windows import feature imports both photo and videos and I can ONLY import new media. Old media is not imported so that means that videos that I synced that may have been deleted are not imported through windows explorer.l, and I cannot get it to transfer anymore. I tried copy and pasting multiple videos from the windows explorer but it prompted me the error code 0x80030001 and it cannot be transferred. I have to transfer them individually. Anyone has a reliable and easy way to get my videos to transfer from iPhone to PC?

yeah! sure windows problem... neither the location nor the folder path is given in default industry standards... by APPLE DEVICE
But if I need my latest taken picture from an apple phone... one can see over more than 30 directories random named like 845OJOX or 900DZDMI ???
In those random named directories lies apples 'closed coding' following faulthy tagging and resulting in different and random again batches of photos taken.
If I do a search in windows I can find all the pictures on this apple phone and even better i'm in control to sort the way i like!
Unfortunately the apple 'faulthy tagging method' makes it impossible to communicate with any other divice about accessing...
This is a simple poor show of apple's limited object oriented filing...
The same i had from pictures taken of a holliday where i did change my phone to local time and my wife's phone not and the seperate camera had also home settings... when i imported those all together after holliday via a program called i-tunes I had to buy 3 different apps and store all these holliday pictures(8gig) seperate (problem since 16gig should be available on apples device; i had only 9gig freed by eliminating all apps possible... and needed 24gig total for apps photo database) in all the overpriced purchased apps, to finaly show those pictures time synchronized to the holliday !
How hard it can be to sort files as the user needs????
DRAMATIC POOR APPLE PERFORMANCE (i thought apple was so good with pictures and so..)
On my pc I also did import the holliday pictures from these three devices and sorted those within minutes(!!!) right to holliday time sync...
Anyway i found also a time consuming way to copy latest taken pictures in random apple maps
(i wish to select a specific time batch and drag these to new map on pc (no apple pc))
look in all the random named apple device maps and check if there is a picture belonging to the batch you need and drag these to the new map...
Something what could take from any other phone some milisecs... takes with apple devices 2 days time !!!!
Best way for taking photo's you need later on other devices than apple... take the photo's on a non apple device and save extra holliday time!

My iChat video conference seems to be malfunctioning.

Every time I want to send a picture to the video conference, all I see is a black screen. Who ever is on the video chat with me also sees this black screen instead of the picture. I've tried to send differnet pictures, restarting iChat, restarting my Mac, and searched all over the internet for help but nothing seems to work. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi,
Mountain Lion has Messages (An iChat+ app)
It changes the name as it add the ability to send iMessages to the stable that is iChat.
Effectively it will be a new app and this stort of Upgrade is likely to sort out some issues.
I am suggesting a change to the Bandwidth as it can "nudge" the app in to writing to the releveant .plist (stored Preferences) without major intervention.
The Same with using the Acivity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) to see if the URLFileTransferAgent is showing up when it should not.
This shows up when text chats Files get "Stuck" and are listed as "Waiting" in the File Transfer Window.
The other possibility is that the iChat Theatre process that Shares the file as a Video Feed substitute is not doing it's thing.
However until we can exclude one issue it is pointless trying to address another.
If you have a Time Machine Back up then you could use that to Reinstall iChat from a time when you know it was working.
Open the Applications Folder
Start up Time Machine so that it looks at the "History" of the Applications Folder.
Use the Arrows to go back in time.
Highlight the iChat App and use the Restore Button.
This will replace the "Current" version with an "Older" version.
This may work if the issue is with part of the App.
However Video feed is dealt with elsewhere. (Does Photo Booth work for instance ?)

Ichat video conference problem

hello i am having a video conference problems when i try either the quailty is bad or the person that i am tryin to view camera is very blurry to the point i cant tell what it is has anyone has this problem or know how to fix it thanks

Which camera are you using? I have a MacAlly USB webcam. Before I bought it I went to their site to see what problems people were having.
Some of the problems people were having with blurry video was because they didn’t remove the protective clear tape over the lens or they didn’t know how to focus the camera, which on the MacAlly is turning the ring around the lens.
Maybe yours is a more technical problem, but this information helped me to not make the same mistakes.

Multiple videos on one page

so i have created a website (which i haven't posted yet) in iweb- my question concerns video on iweb. on one page i have 5 videos that range from 20MB to 60MB, i would like these videos to download without a lot of wait time. curious what the wait time for this page would be? and also, would it be better to create a picture and then a hyperlink to each video? would that be faster? would preferably like to have multiple videos play on the page rather than hyperlinking to another page, but from what i've read, it sounds like it takes a while to download a page like that. also, i am not going to use mobileme, most likely godaddy.
thank you.
ben

I just learned from toad yesterday...and I was where you were. I was afraid to try the code thing. But I kept pushing till I figured it out.
I also publish with GoDaddy. They are very Mac friendly.
My suggestion is that you upload your video file to Godaddy first. I used Cyberduck (free). When you get Cyberduck up and your file uploaded to the server, look (navigate) on the Cyberduck interface to the video file you have created the button for.
Then, go to "Get Info" in the pulldown menu. You will see the URL that GoDaddy has assigned to the video (basically the Directory/Path).
This is the info you want to put in the code part on iWeb where (in red) you replace the template text.
To help you understand what Toad has published in red:
1. the first red is where the URL path from the Cyberduck info goes.
2. the second reds are the size of the Video you want to display. I find that 640x480 works very well.
3. the last red is what your button will say: replace with "Click to Play"
BIG HINT: Get Quicktime Pro. That interface will allow you to save your vide as a "Fast Start" video for uploading. I think this is Apple's equivalent of Flash.
Once you get your stuff in place you will probably have to have a few phone sessions with Tech support at GDaddy. They can spot your mistakes and help get you up.
Good Luck. This was all new to me and very intimidating - but 48 hours later I was able to have it all working.
I even got it working on Network Solutions - but it was much more of a headache.
For large video files, though, NetSol will let you put your videos on a Streaming Server for faster and more reliable service. Problem is that server only works with RealMedia and Windows Media Player...and who wants to convert all their QT files.

Multiple Video Streams on Same Monitor or Screen

Is it possible to merge multiple video streams on the same timeline in PP CS5? I have a customer thats wants me to do thisfor him.
This would be like you see a security monitor with three or four small images on the same screen.
C. Barker

Charles,
What the client is asking for is PiP (Picture in Picture), and Colin has outlined the method for creating the PiP.
I also find it easiest, when doing a lot of PiP work, to use alignment grids, to help me with both the Scaling and the Position. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail. For PiP, I will usually create a custom alignment grid, similar to this:
Good luck, and hope that this helps,
