My second thread.. ITV poor quality on i player!

Anoter problem I have is that on ITV player the bandwidth seem low as it regularly freezes and then the circle rotates for a couple of minutes or seconds, then the program continues.... this happens regularly. It is noit my broadband connection as I am on Infinity and hitting 30Mb+ almost all the time..
Some time BBC does this also..
Is it abox problem?
thanks
Mark

I was getting this problem last night on thr ITVplayer for a catch up of a popular soap, it was so bad I had to abort watching it 3 times. I have a rock solid 38M download and my system is all hired wired  ...... being a popular soap I wondered if it was just too much demand and decided I will try again later today.
The ITVplayer was ok the last time I used it so not panicking yet!! hoping it was a 'rare (ish') 'thing'.
I also did a catch up of Master Chef on BBC Iplayer with HD on and that was fine, very good quality Ipayer imo.

  • Poor quality in FLV Player (quality is good in Adobe Media Player)

    Basically, I converted a movie to FLV with Adobe Media Encoder and it looked great.  Then I inserted the video (Insert > Media > FLV... > Progressive Download Video) into my html page and when I view it back that quality was very poor.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks...
    ps - you can view the poor quality video here: http://www.ndtestpage.videotest.html

    I make slideshow movies using still photos exclusively. Here is the process I use when I want to make a DVD from an iMovie project.
    In iMovie I set the ratio to 16:9 and I also crop many of the photos in iPhoto to 16x9 (HD) - this works best for pictures in landscape; it's not good for portrait photos. Also, cropping this way doesn't work for all landscape photos either: sometimes I lose details that make the photo 'good' and so just leave it uncropped.
    When the project is finished I choose Share>Export using QuickTime and click "options". In "options" I use the following:
    Compression: H.264
    Quality: Best
    Frame rate: 29.97
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimensions: 1920x1080 (HD)
    Scale: Letterbox
    I use either iDVD or Roxio Toast to create a DVD.
    The issue of the quality of DVDs made from iMovie projects has often been discussed in this forum. The process and settings I use may not be strictly kosher, but I do get good quality DVDs this way and so I stick with them. My projects are usually between 20 to 30 minutes in length.
    I hope this helps.
    (I haven't tried iMovie 11 yet.)

  • Poor quality text in PDF

    I am using Acrobat pro X to produce an online brochure. I started producing the brochure in Corel draw using A4 paper size in landscape mode. When I created the PDF by the print command the general quality was very poor, both graphics and text. I experimented with various settings increasing the quality settings for images but it didn't seem to have any significant effect. I then tried placing some of the elements in a Word document and creating a PDF from this document, and again I found that the results were unsatisfactory, a bit better than from Corel but not very good. I have converted many Word documents to PDF in the past without problems. I started a new Word document and this time copied a template for a landscape brochure from Microsoft. This was already populated with some Text-and-Graphics. When I created a PDF from this it was quite good. It was not clear to me what the difference between my basic word document and this new one was. I went through the documents’ settings with a fine tooth comb and the only one I could find was different was the paper size and orientation. I then copied some of my graphics and text to the word brochure document, and this to converted nicely to PDF. I took a note of what appeared to be a somewhat unusual paper size and copied this to the Corel document. When I created a PDF it was now significantly better all the paper size was wrong. I went back from scratch with both the word document and the Corel draw document (those which produce bad PDF files) and carefully made sure that the paper size and orientation in the document matched the PDF settings. But the result was still poor in this case. It is not clear to me what is causing the problem although it does seem to be mainly text, the graphics are often okay. The text however is extremely patchy looking and very poor quality.
    In the Acrobat settings I started with "high quality print" default setting and edited this. When I selected the fonts section there were no fonts selected for embedding. This surprised me as I would have thought high-quality print would automatically embedded all fonts. I selected the fonts in my document and embedded them and saved the settings, but when I went out of this dialogue box and straight back in it showed up with no embedded fonts. What's happening here? Is it for getting about my font selection? Or does this dialogue box when you re-enter it not reflect the current settings? Furthermore when I completed my modifications to the "high-quality print" default settings it asked me to save them as a new job options file which I did, but when I go to print a second time it never gives me the option of selecting these saved settings.
    I have tried almost every permutation and combination of settings page sizes et cetera and I now tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to simply get a reasonable quality PDF file. Any assistance on these matters would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Michael
    I am using Corel V 13 and Windows 7. The issue is not confined to Corel as I am also getting poor results often with Word as described. I also need to know about the font embedding as described above. Is it the case that if the fonts are  embedded this
    guarantees they fonts display sharply in the PDF? i.e. do the scatty fonts in the PDF prove I am not getting embedded fonts?
    Corel does have a printer driver compatibility setting where you can set the target printer, but the PDF virtual printer is not available in the list.
    Thanks

  • Apple TV 2 Mirroring Poor Quality.........

    When my iPad 2 mirrors to my Apple TV 2, it goes to a very poor quality.
    Help!!
    I have tried changing the default resultion on the Apple TV (Menu & Up for 6 seconds), still to no avail

    Ok... this is by no means meant to be any exhaustive test but this is what I found out.
    I started iTunes Wifi sync with the iphone 4s so it was busy transfering data.
    I then started chopper 2, via Airplay with ATV. I immediately noticed the picture quality was poorer. There was noticable video compression artifacts on the screen. The picture seemed much softer.
    I then stopped the itunes Wifi sync ..
    I restarted chopper 2, and noticed a massive improvement in picture quality.
    My take away from this is, you need decent wifi bandwith to get the best possible picture from mirroring, so a Wifi-N router maybe desirable.

  • Poor quality still frames

    Does anyone know why still frames are such poor quality?
    I'm constructing a movie using stills, and if a Ken Burns effect is used, the picture changing to the next photo as soon as the effect finishes can be a little jarring on the eye.
    To counteract this, I've been adding a still frame of 1-2 seconds either side of the main Ken Burns adjusted photo to act as a 'cushion' (like you can in Photo to Movie). You can see the difference in quaity in iMovie, so it does of course remain when you have exported to Quicktime.
    Is there a better method of doing this than still frames? I notice that the overlap transition helps by hanging on to the end of the previous frame, but it's not ideal.
    Any suggestions?

  • Poor Quality Export to AVI

    Hi im a newcomer to Premier Pro and need some help in adjusting my settings for exporting my video.
    The video in question is made up of 5 seperate videos (created from still jpegs with ImageVideoMachine at 1024x768 with 24fps and 1080HD Profile). When I view these videos seperately they are good quality and do not have any problems. However after i imported them to Premier Pro and added an audio track in the background and a small bit of text the quality after export is really bad in places.
    I have tried lots of different settings in the export but just cant seem to get it right. The main problems that seem to occur is when the camera moves quickly from one scene to another and it seems to get very blurry and pixelated and sort of like half the scene is catching up (hope this makes sense!).
    The entire video is only 4 and a half minutes long so I am not too worried about the size of the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated as im at a loss what to try next and the poor quality of the video takes away so much from my hard work in creating the presentation.
    Hoping you can help
    Alan

    Just as further information for anyone who can help. These are the properties of one of the five .avi files I created using ImageVideoMachine. As I said these play at a good quality and without any pixelation of blurriness.

  • 'ken burns' poor quality interlacing jagged

    This post is to document issues with 'Ken Burns' rendering in Final Cut Express 4 and some workarounds and possible bugs in software I found.
    Similar posts about this issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/5207261#5207261
    When I import images into final cut express and  apply keyfram effects with panning and zooming a.ka. the 'Ken Burns Effect' I find that image quality is very poor. This occurs in most BUT NOT ALL images in viewer and canvas windows as well as rendered footage.  The video issues are severe interlacing artifacts (horizontal blurry lines) as well as motion jitter along edges.
    Many other users on the web suggested the following, which did not work for me:
    -Avoid using JPEG files because their compression introduces artifacts which causes problems for Final Cut
    I have found both JPEG and TIFFs have trouble with Ken Burns, although I do have certain TIFFs that seem to work.
    -Using different software to render ken burns panning.
    This seems silly to me.  I find that the integration of  pan,zoom necessary for fine tuning during editing.  This would be extremely time consuming to separately generate each pan/zoom clip and import. I have heard that some software has high-end smoothing, but I am satisfied with the images that do pan and zoom correctly in Final cut.
    -Adjusting Field Dominance in the clip properties to none
    this was already set on my clips
    -Adjust render settings.
    I saw a 1001 rendering 'recipes' offered up to fix image pan/zoom issues. None worked
    Things I discovered
    Ken burns effect looked great when the image was in a transition, but bad when it was not.  For example: Imagine a 5 second cross dissolve between regular video and ken burns motion image.  When image becomes clearly visible in the latter 2.5 seconds of the transition it looks excellent while panning/zooming. When the transition finishes there is a sudden change to poor quality in the pan/zoom.
    -The render bar on top of the timeline is dark-green for good-looking images, which according to the final cut manual, means 'no render necessary'
    -There was nothing special about these render-not-necessary images that I could find in resolution, settings, etc.
    -Good looking images were jpegs, gifs, and tiffs
    I tried converting other images and reimporting, no luck
    -I can make the ken burns look good for all images by playing the movie in the canvas window and setting it 99% zoom.
    Any zoom level other than 100% looks good.
    -This seems like a bug to me.
    Eventually I just used a screen recording application called screenflow to capture my video playing in canvas window at 99% in real time.
    This worked.
    Hopefully someone can explain why rendered images never look good and what format works to get the dark green line and avoid rendering all together and these problems.
    I don't mind converting file formats beforehand as long as they work well

    The render bar on top of the timeline is dark-green for good-looking images, which according to the final cut manual, means 'no render necessary'
    This is misleading. It simply means rendering is not necessary for playback. It does NOT mean that the material does not need to be rendered.
    100% zoom level is as close to how your video actually looks that a computer monitor can display.
    You never said what format you're working in.
    You always have to render still images. You're making video, and they're not video.

  • Poor quality/customer service from Digital Services LLC (Microsoft's provider of Wallet Cards and etc.)

    Hi All,
    I recently chatted with MCP support to inform them of poor shoddy service by their provider of Wallet Cards.  Has anyone else had any problems with quality/service with the below provider?  If so who can I contact to report the problems I had with
    them?
    Below is a copy of the statement I provided to MCP support:
    I ordered a wallet card quite awhile back.  Upon delivery I discovered that it was very poor quality and some of the lettering "Solutions Associate" was very faint. 
    I contacted arvato digital services LLC to report it.  They requested that I send them a scanned copy of the wallet card. 
    They then agreed to replace it.  I was told that it would ship 12/17/2013 and after a month or so of not receiving it I contacted them again and Daniel apologized and said it had gotten lost in production. 
    I was then promised a ship date in January.  I had to contact them again and I finally received it today 2/7/2014. 
    The papers that came with it said my credit card would be charged. 
    To summarize:  I was shipped a poor quality card which took them over 2 months to replace, 
    no improvement on the card still looks like the first one they sent me and finally they said my card would be charged .... AGAIN? 
    I want Microsoft to know what very poor service arvato digital services LLC is providing to their Members and how I can get a quality card replacement without any additional charge. 
    I offered to  send the second poor quality card received and also the back and forth emails requesting that they resolve the problem. 
    By the email time stamps they will see the very long length of time it has taken to resolve this issue and the fact that it is still not resolved.

    Same here. I just received them today (21/02/2014). Very very disappointed.
    I ordered the Solutions Expert & Specialist Card. Both are terrible beyond all recognition.
    Both photos in the cards are blurry, unlike the ones I previewed in the design page. Just like you said, the lettering ('Solutions Expert' & 'Specialist') on BOTH cards are very faint.
    I even ordered the 'Specialist' card in German just for curiousity's sake.
    On the bottom at the back of the card where you find the "Download the Tag reader app at: http://gettag.mobi" sentence, I found this incomplete (and perhaps just to show their level of incompetence) sentence:
    aden Sie die Tag-Leseanwendung hier herunter: htt
    Missing the first "L" and the incomplete "http://gettag.mobi"
    First, you discontinued the MCM/MCSM program and the whole works last year. I know this is a very different thing and has a very big difference (and revenue). Now you showed the (lack of) care even for the tiniest bit of a Microsoft Wallet Card.
    I see no use of contacting Arvato, just another time-wasting effort, third party subcontractor and all that.
    Guys, forewarned is forearmed.

  • Flash is a poor quality software

    Guys, after just short time (luckily) that I had to work with flash, during which time flash show what its capable of (not a positive thing), my thoughts on it.
    Flash is extremely poor quality software. Incidents working with flash involved
    1. thumb doesn't show up on slider when I click button once, but shows up when I click this same button twice. (code: thumb.visible=true), that all there was to it!!!
    2. movie clips moved out of scene are showing on scene anyway
    3. Simply copying the aforementioned slider and placing it on first frame on main scene brakes totally unrelated code somewhere else. But pasting the same slider on second frame doesn't brake that code anymore! Needless to say that slider has no code whatsoever so it couldn't possibly reference anything in my scene anyway!
    What else? Yesterday I was happily working till lunch. Saved my work, went, had a lunch, came back, try to open my file, nope, not so fast flash tells me that this is incorrect format of a file!!! I couldn't believe what I'm seeing. I've never during my 15 years of working as a programmer came across software which couldn't open file saved by itself. Apparently, this is very common problem with flash: Re: I cannot open FLA files in CS5 "UNEXPECTED FILE FORMAT" help!
    Luckily I've had save this file the day before so I've lost only half a day's work.
    Another phenomena, during debugging flash goes through lines of code and at last line throws error that child mustn't be null, which is really bizarre because on previous lines I've had that child object and flash didn't complain at all:
    child = new Item();//goes through this line
    child.setUp("myChild");//goes through this line
    addChild(child);//throws ERROR that child mustn't be null.
    Another incident, two buttons identical class, all is different is text on them, one says play, the other one says settings. First button do not respond to mouse events, specifically to mouse_over event, second button behaves correctly. Situation got resolved that I've added another, dummy button and moved it out of stage. Now both original buttons behave correctly!!! How is this possible???
    Another incident from before yestarday. Same slider. First frame, two copies of it. First one (top one) after publishing looks as it looks in editor, second looks completely different! parts are scaled up, far away from each other, total mess!!!WHY??? I simply put one slider from library and copied it once. Same frame, same slider, no code involved whatsoever and despite this flash messes things up.
    Another incident with slider. The same slider copied from one frame to other. One works perfectly on one frame (that is you can drag the thumb and the thumb follows your mouse), paste EXACT!!! copy of this slider on different frame and the slider becomes unresponsive!!! Un effing bellievable!!!!
    Oh, and one more thing, can this software and swfs produced by it be any slower and use more processor power?
    There were also plenty of others smaller annoyances how flash behaves, or why doesn't behave correctly. I'm so glad that will not have to work with this software anymore. It is so bad. And it is Flash CC. Unbelievable.
    So I suppose, my question is, why is flash so poor quality software, despite the fact that is on the market for so many years?

    Are you serious?
    Are you genuinely serious?
    Are you really...
    How can anyone think that this, out of box should compile? How?!?
    The child isn't declared, Item class isn't defined, how can you think that this could/should compile? How?!!!
    As I've said in one of my previous posts, this is simply snippet of my code with those problematic lines. And why I have problem with this is, again, as I've said previously flash does go through two lines with child variable, but throws error (during debugging) at the third line that child variable mustn't be null!!! while just before second didn't have any problems with referencing this variable, just one line previously.
    And no Amy, you are wrong saying that I've nulled this variable somewhere.
    If you look at the code (from one of my other posts):
    //[begin of example]
    //some function's body
         child = new Head_mc(); //Head_mc is a movie clip
      trace("child: " + child);//outputs some name of this child
      child.setUp(aHead);//goes through this line fine while debugging
      addChild(child);//GIVES ME ERROR TELLING ME THAT THAT child MUSTN'T BE SET TO NULL!!!!!!
    if I change this code to:
    //some function's body
        var c:MovieClip = new Head_mc(); //Head_mc is a movie clip
      c.setUp(aHead);//goes through this line fine while debugging
    child = c;
      addChild(child);//No problems, but why is it that this works and the first code doesn't work?
    //[end of example]
    you will see that the only function which could possibly nullify child variable is function setUp, yet this function is called in second example as well as in first and yet first example behaves incorrectly and second example works as expected. Why? What's different there?
    Oh, and @sinious, please mate, give me a favor and don't try to compile it, because it is impossible to compile. But also please note that I mention that the debugger goes through some lines so it must mean that at some point I did compile it first and then started debugging. It does make sense, doesn't it?
    As for working with complicated software/languages?
    Guys, please don't make me laugh.
    Maya, Catia, AutoCAD, 3DMax, Visual Studio, Blender, Photoshop, ZBrush, UDK, UE4, - (except Catia I work on weekly basis, every week of the year (except holidays and weekends that is) with each and everyone of those products), and of course as a language of choice I use C++. How do you think C++ compares with regarding difficulty, complexity, learning curve to as3 do you think?
    Flash (and as3) is a relatively simple but buggy, poor quality and unreliable software. I can say that not because I cannot learn it. I can say that because I've worked with it and experienced it's poor quality and "bugyness" from day one. I also worked with other software in my life, I also do work every day of my life with other software (the above mentioned), and flash simply proves to be of poor quality.
    None of the software I've mentioned couldn't open file it just wrote couple of minutes ago. With flash it happened. Not once now, but two times. And not just to me. Plenty of examples on the web. Guys, please, open your eyes. It didn't happen because I'm a bad/incompetent programmer. It happened because flash is a buggy, poor quality and unreliable software. And companies are ditching flash not because I say it is bad. They ditching it because through their own experience they realized that flash is a buggy, poor quality, poorly performing, unreliable software. That's all there is to it.
    And as for self-congratulatory behavior of yours:
    "Plenty of evidence is here to the contrary so, mission complete"
    What mission did you achieve?
    The one in which you proved to everyone that you don't understand that you cannot compile code snippet which is taken out of context?
    What kind of programmer you are, it just makes me wonder...

  • Text poor quality after Export

    I'm having some pretty poor quality text rendering after export. The video appears fine otherewise. I am exporting to YouTubeSD not HD, though I wouldn't think that would matter. [?]
    I'm pretty new to the complexities of film editing. So, I can't answer much about the video source files other than that they are MP4 converted originally from analog files written to DVD. I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with the titles at all since all text created thru PP Title Editor. [?]
    Here's a screenshot of settings. Any ideas?

    Sorry- I meant to add this is CS5.5
    Jeff- I've been using this same font for other projects without problem. This just started happening on this project. Yes, it is a serif font but no problems before. It's always rendered well [Adobe Arabic].
    Message was edited by: zech3  APOLOGIES-  when I searched this issue, I didn't see my exact problem and the post below [ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/705407?tstart=0 ] just got resurrected from 2010, it didn't appear in my search... though I'm not sure our issue is identical...
    Here's a better screenshoht:
    And some screen shots of titles:
    BEFORE text rendering problem. From a project last year, this typeface is skinnier but rendered much better!
    AFTER text rendering problem started. This is the current typeface that, even though a heavier typeface, renders horribly!!
    I should add that the titles seem to flicker a bit when transitions are applied to the start or end of title clip.

  • Poor quality of imported photos. Less colours/colors ? [Examples]

    Hi,
    I'm making project in iMovie'09
    I'm mixing movies with photos in my project.
    But in my iMovie project - pictures are poor quality.
    iMovie probably use less colors what you can see on dark parts of photos and movies.
    I read somewhere that it can be only in iMovie preview - when iMovie use worse quality movies for
    faster running. So I exported my movie to different formats to check how it will look like.
    I exported it to BIG, "HD" formats, and also using QuickTime with H.263 compression and without compression at all ( 20 seconds file takes over 800 MB !!!), but the result was almost the same.
    Here you can see some examples:
    http://pokazywarka.pl/imovie-quality/
    The same problem is according to movies - you can see similar bad quality on darker parts of imported movies... Movies in original looks fine.
    Any idea how to solve this problem and improve quality of pictures?
    Best regards,
    Patrick

    I too am having a problem. Mine's not even a picture with huge quality or something, just a an SD video in 16:9. The input format is Apple MPEG-2 SD Camcorder Video, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. I've exported to dozens of options with a share to media browser, iTunes, export movie, Quick time, etc. and every time I get color bands that aren't in the original. I thought I'd maybe fix the problem by using the "optimize video" feature which converts the file to Apple Intermediate Codec, 704 x 480 (834 x 480), Millions. Still, this video (when selecting reveal in finder) looks great, no banding. Again I export, even export to 16:9 DV (no compression right?) and the banding appears. Everything looks good until I get to that export stage. I don't expect perfection, but if iMovie can handle HD movies I would expect SD to come out looking basically like it went in. Please help.

  • What is the best format to save in computer playback to match the quality of my camera ( MP4 1080p) - NTSC provides poor quality, MPEG2 files are too large?

    I am editing video and would like to share these at the same quality and size as  the original file - MP4 1080 film clips. I am downloading these files to Google, or to another network. Choices under computer viewing result in the following - NTSC provides poor quality and the MP2 1080 more than doubles the file size. Any better choices?

    What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system is it running?
    What is your camera? Can we assume your videos from the camera are AVCHD.mp4 (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second?) What is the bitrate and duration of the file?
    What is your file size requirement for the export?
    H.264.mp4 is a frequently used format used for uploads to various web sites. You can find that format in Premiere Elements in the Share or Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD (most often used) or Share or Publish+Share/Mobile Phones and Players.
    Please explain what you mean when you mention NTSC versus MPEG2...I understand MPEG2.mpg or MPEG2.m2t, but what do you mean by NTSC.as an export format.
    I will fine tune (customize the reply) with some more details as indicated.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thank you.

  • Poor Quality Images/Slides - is there a solution?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm putting together a simple video that uses the occasional slide from a powerpoint presentation. I import the slides as JPGs, matched to the frame size of the video. It looks OK when I preview the movie... but when I export, it quality is very poor. It's hard to read the text in the images, and the overall presentation looks quite unprofessional.
    I have some experience in video editing, but this is my first project in Final Cut Express. I am trying to render the movie first (but it only takes a few seconds for a 15min clip.. so i wonder if I'm doing it right?).
    The main issue is the poor quality slides. I don't have to use JPGs... as I'm a designer, and can use a variety of formats. The most important thing is that the powerpoint slides look clean, crisp and professional.
    Any help, suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I know nothing about Powerpoint slides but could this be the same problem you get when trying to put the Computer screen on a video?
    It looks horribly blurred and jittery because you are squeezing a screen of at least 1200 x 900 pixels onto a DV frame of 768 x 576.
    Any detail is totally lost and the overall effect is blurred.
    There is no cure unless you can edit and display in high definition.
    So could that be your problem?
    A normal JPEG photograph should look fine on TV, especially an LCD or plasma one.
