Off colors and giberish from video - flgrx ??

i get off colors and sometimes green giberish on some videos, regardless of player or codec. I though maybe it was compiz but i turned it off and still had the problem.
I have created two screenshots; the 1st one shows a video frame zoomed in twice, so you can see what happens, and the second one shows how colors are all off in a podcast.
1st (zoom 100%, 105% & 110%):
2nd:
So ... what do you guys think it might be ?

As a data point, I have had similar problems when using fglrx. These problems were solved by upgrades to fglrx. If you are using a framebuffer console with fglrx, first try using the normal console. Sometimes there are weird interactions between the framebuffer and fglrx. If you still have problems, try using the ati driver to see if your problems go away. If they do, fglrx is your problem. If they persist, I don't know what to check then, perhaps the hardware?
Good luck.

  • Get colors and text from Legend or chart?

    It seems to be impossible ( or at least I cannot find a way to ) to wrap the labels in the Legend control.
    so I will have to write my own legend control that can do this.
    In order to create a Legend control I will need to get a array of the colors used in the Chart ( or legend) and apply these to the new legend control. Can anyone advise how I can do this?
    thanks

    Hi Natasha
    I have tried:
    for each(var item in myChart.series.legendData ){
    trace("series item is : " + item);
    And
    for each(var item in myChart.series.items){
    trace("series item is : " + item);
    UPDATE: I have also tried:
    trace ("legendData is : " + myChart.series[0].legendData); 
    trace("items is : " + myChart.series[0].items);
    for each(var item:Array in myChart.series[0].legendData){ 
    trace("series item is : "+ item);
    And again the trace statement in the for each loop is never reached, and the other trace statements are empty (besides the initial string), yet I can see in the variables window of Eclipse that there should be data.
    And I have a breakpoint on the trace statement, yet in both cases the breakpoint is never reached. I am not getting any error message.
    Also, when editing, when I put the '.' after myChart.series I do not get either legendData or items in the 'intellisense', just methods. Perhaps the intellisense is very limited.
    Anyway, can you advise on another way to get the colors and labels from a chart so I can create my own legend, which can wrap the labels?
    Many thanks

  • Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

    Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

    first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
    the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey. 
      example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive)  the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
    but that is very occasionally,  most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed  ,  I don't know how that effects qt.
    qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)  
    I have gone to VLC  and MPlayerX  for direct playback for drones and cameras.  

  • For the second time in one week, my dowloaded film stopped and disappeared from Video. apple apologized and will refund me.have some,others the same problem?

    My dowloaded films stopped after a while and disappeared from Video. How come can this happen?

    I cant explain it but this bizarre "fix" works many times if your videos "disappear". I have passed this on to a number of people and it has worked for them. You can try it if you like.
    Go to your home screen and swipe to the right to bring up the spotlight search feature. Type in the name of the movie that you were watching. If the movie appears in the search, tap on it to begin playing. If it plays, let it go for a few minutes and then hit the done button to stop it. Then go back to the Videos App and see if the movies and TV shows have reappeared.

  • Color and Printing from LR

    I'm a commercial photographer and spend much of my time photographing fine art for galleries and their publications. Color matching, therefore, is a critical part of my business.
    I have calibrated my camera with a greytag colorchecker; I calibrate my monitor at least every week with a spyder. At each shoot, I capture the image with the greytag grid in frame. I shoot RAW .CR2. My workflow is to import using the camera calibration presets I developed for similar lighting conditions. I adjust whitebalance using the grey tone scale on the greytag grid in the shot. I adjust exposure and tone curve as necessary in LR, apply clarity, crop etc. Then I edit in CS3 for the final adjustments. I edit in RGB with a working profile that emulates the final CMYK/ICC profile of the 4-color press printer we use. I save the file and return to LR.
    Th gallery wants proof prints from me. Here's the problem:
    I print on a 9800 Epson wide format using semiweight matte paper. I print to a color burst RIP. I switch off color management in LR leaving that for the RIP. In the RIP, I print using the correct ICC for the paper. Prints are OK BUT there is a distinct over emphasis on the red/orange color range. This is a problem, since many of the images are of southwestern themes with redish hues.
    If I take the same saved TIFF files, and print them from CS3 via the RIP using the same settings throughout, the output is excellent and mimics my moniot exactly without the color cast.
    LR's work flow is ideal and convenient, but this printing feature is a major problem. Anyone have any suggestions?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

    Lightroom is sending the file to your RIP with the ProPhoto colour profile hence the colour shift.
    LR is great at printing when you let
    i it
    handle to media profile. Most printer drivers and RIP software cannot handle ProPhoto so you if you must use the RIP, you're best exporting a version for proofing and print straight from Photoshop.

  • Netting off Customers and Vendors from Credit Mngt point

    Hi Guys
    I like to net off Vendor and customer balance to decide Customers' credit limit before selling anything.
    We have done this at payment level but will like to drill down to credit management level.
    Thanks
    Hiren Mazumdar

    Hello,
    I already tried this, but if I try to post a customer payment it is posted with posting key 11 as credit memo, but I wanted to post with posting key 15 for incoming payment.
    Is there any possibility to do this?
    I havn't found a parameter to influence the posting key. Is there another BAPI to post payments? Or is there no difference in the treatment of such postings in FI?
    Regards

  • Removing color gradient background from video - help needed

    Hello everyone,
    I shot my son playing the violin against a white backdrop today, and what was pure white didn't turn out to be very white, I have gray
    areas, off white areas because of incorrect lighting.
    I want the background to be more white and more even than what it is right now.
    I thought of moving the video from track 1 up to track 2.
    I added in a title, which consists of a big box of white ( using the retangular tool I just drew a large white retangle that covers the entire movie area )
    Now to remove some of that white backdrop, I thought I would try some of the tools below, to remove the real backdrop, and let the white retangle
    from track 1 come through. ( so that the pure white comes through from track 1. )
    I've been going through the various options,
    - Chroma Key
    - Color Key
    - Change Color
    - Change To Color
    After 30 some minutes of fldding around, I thought I would just stop, and ask for help.  How would you proceed with this ?
    What process would you use ?
    I'm just puzzled as to which tool is best suited for a job like this, because right now my results are not to my liking, and it's just hard to get anything
    that looks good at all.
    Thanks for all help,
    Dave.

    Hi Harm,
    Thanks for the great response, I don't have Ultra CS3, but will look into Keylight.  I'm going to try the garbage mattes and chroma key route
    for now and see what I can do.
    You are indeed a weatlh of info.
    Thanks again,
    Dave.

  • Encode and broadcast from video file

    Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before I did some quick searches and didn't find anything.
    Is there any way to use a static video file as supposed to a camera as the source for the flash media live encoder? This is for the production office I work at - a lot of the videos we make take a long time to encode to flv so it would be great if we could broadcast a video as it is being encoded.
    Thanks in advance.

    I use the Black Media Intensity Pro Pcie capture card and a Panasonic HDC-SD10 cam. The Black Magic card show up in FMLE so I can play back video from the cam. In fact even my cheap Easycap USB capturecard works to capture my cam, though it does´nt give the same quality as the BM card but still pretty ok.

  • How can I turn off the automatic sound from videos on my iMac?

    Just recently, videos on Safari start to play without my turning them on.  How can I stop this?  I was able to turn it off on my iPad, but do not know how to do it on my iMac.  It is horrible.....I have to quit Safari in order to get the video stopped. 

    Forgot to mention  that this is the videos on FACEBOOK. 

  • Firefox scrolling and images from videos getting stuck on other tabs

    Ok lets say a youtube video is embedded on a forum or i'm on youtube.com when the video starts to play my up and down keys used for scrolling will only control the youtube players volume the page will no longer scroll (yes i know you have to click outside the video i have done that makes no difference) I have to go to a different tab and back to the page with the video in order to scroll like normal but if i have to restart the video or skip forward or backwards a little bit i have to switch tabs and back again to scroll.... Also if i close a page with a video playing or just switch tabs with the video playing whatever the video was showing last gets caught on the new tab i have to scroll up or down to clear it. So for example im watching a basketball clip showing a dunk i close the page when he is holding the rim that image goes over to the current tab that's open and i have to scroll to clear it that didn't happen before this whole scrolling issue. Main thing i want to fix is the scrolling tho..

    Try to "disable the hardware acceleration" in the Flash Player and maybe in Firefox as well.

  • I accidentally turned off wifi and ran some videos overnight on my mobile and used all of my data allowance on day 3 of the month. I screwed up... I acknowledge that... do I bump my plan up 1gb at a time or wait to the end of the month to adjust the bill.

    I just need to know my best options to control the amount I pay in overages since I messed up. Been with Verizon for at least 15 years and I haven't really had this come up before. Not sure how I messed up this bad this time

    Personally, I would wait until ~5-7 days before the end of your billing cycle to make the adjustment RETROACTIVE to the beginning of your current billing cycle. That way you can add what you need with a bit extra for the last 5 days. Of course you would want to make another adjustment on the last day of your billing cycle to drop your data allowance back to normal, only have that adjustment made effective on the 1st day of your NEXT billing cycle. You don't want to have to pay for the extra data NEXT month.

  • Google homepage doesn't display properly on only 1 computer. I turned off addons and upgraded from 3.6 to 7 but the problem persists

    All other websites appear properly, it is only the google homepage. The top and bottom banners appear with just a white band in teh middle. No widgets (mail, weather, stocks, etc) appear. It is only on one computer running XP. I have 2 other computers running XP and one running Linux and they work and display fine.

  • Loading colors and attributes from an external file?

    I would like to provide someone with an application as a SWF, but allow them to set the colors of items upon deployment.
    That is, provide them with an XML file with the colors specified in it, perhaps like: <texbox textColor="#ff0000" background="#ffff00" />
    How would I best approach this sort of strategy?

  • Mac Pro and DVI to Video Adapter

    I just received a new Mac Pro with a GeForce 7300 card and was planning to use it in part to display video on a set of TV monitors using the Apple DVI to Video Adapter. Try as I might I have not been able to get the computer to recognize a TV regardless of the DVI port and using both S-Video and RCA. I now see that in Apple's store the converter is classified as Requiring a "MacBook Pro, Mac mini or Power Mac G5 with DVI port". Not sure if there's any way around this. The adapter has worked fine in the past with both a Mac Mini and a G5 tower. If anyone knows a possible workaround or if an updated adapter is forthcoming I would appreciate the information.

    Just to be clear here: There is no way to get S-Video
    output from my $~2700 machine (with the stock
    7300gt)? Not even with (maybe forthcoming) additional
    adapters? This is pretty embarrassing. Actually I'm
    sorta angry.
    Are there any other options like DVI->VGA->S-Video
    maybe? I surely won't dump $150 into the trash just
    to have that (supposedly) noisy beast of a x1900
    screaming around here. Just for S-Video. This is
    silly.
    There are VGA to S-Video converters but they cost more than the Apple adapter. Here is one. Probable a bit fancier than you want. There are others.
    <http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/PC-TVvideoadapter.html>
    The Apple adapter is cheap because all the work is being done in the video card when it detects the adapter. The video card outputs the S-Video brightness and color, and the composite video on the DVI pins that would normally be used for analog red, green, and blue, using the A/D converters normally used for a CRT. The adapter just sends the signals to different connectors. The adapter won't do anything with a card that wasn't designed to output TV video.

  • HT1657 Rented movies won't disappear from Videos on ISO 7.0.4

    I recently downloaded an iTunes rental to my iPhone. Previously after watching it, a swipe was all it took to delete the rental and image from Videos. Now it's not that easy. It stays under Videos with a little white cloud icon in the corner. It's not taking up space on my iPhone but I'd like to delete it. Upon synching to iTunes, no rental tabs or info is shown on the device. There is no way to delete it. I asked a Genius and he thinks it stays on the phone like music that's now downloaded, almost like a history of rented/purchased stuff. It's annoying how Apple chooses to constantly make things tough that worked simply at one point. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If it has the cloud symbol then that indicates that it's in the cloud and not on your phone, but is available for redownloading - if you go into Settings > iTunes & App Store and turn Videos 'off' (under the 'Show All' heading) it should stop it showing in the Videos app. What you can redownload will still show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
