Picture playback quality

I have downloaded pictures (jpeg) files into Iphoto, then create a slideshow in Iphoto and it will start Idvd to burn the project. All works well. But when viewing the DVD on TV if you have alot of horizontal,vertical or diagonal lines you seem to get movement in that area of the picture when veiwed on TV. The playback seems to be perfect on the computer.
Any ideas

Sounds like an interlacing problem. A TV image is actually made up of two slightly different images containing the even number scan lines and the odd number scan lines that alternate every 1/60 second. With a sharp digital image, switching back-and-forth between the two slightly different images results in flicker.
There are several programs (Photoshop is one) that will let you deinterlace your still images - deinterlacing replaces the even scan lines with the odd scan lines or the odd scan lines with the even scan line. The resulting image won't be quite as sharp on your computer, but won't flicker when put on a DVD and viewed on a TV set.

QuickTime shortens time of pictures playback created in iMovie ...

Hi,
I exported 150 pictures from iPhoto to iMovie. Each pictures is timed to 4 seconds.
When finished, I exported the complete movie to QuickTime 7.1.3. When played from QT, almost 1 out of 2 pictures cuts the time to 1 or to 2 seconds instead of playing it for 4 seconds. Somebody as a clue ?? Maybe a configuration to apply ??
Robert

I got the movie into FCP a couple of different ways, hearing no audio the first way then trying to bring it in another way to see if it gave me audio. First I imported the QT movie that resulted from my iMovie project. I found it in my external drive where I had it stored, and I imported it.
When I detected a problem, I undid that and opened Finder, selected the external drive, found my movie and dragged the icon into my bin.
In either case, when I opened it in the canvas, it played -- video only. When I dragged it into the timeline, it separated the media into one channel of video and two channels of audio. It would play -- video only. There was a red render bar that I eliminated by rendering all, to no effect for recovering audio, and then by rendering 'audio only,' which also didn't work.
I then tried dragging in a second iMovie QT project to see if the same problem existed. It did. With that project, however, responding to the red render bar by hitting 'render all' gave me a window saying it would take two hours. Why that wasn't the case for the other movie, I don't know. Perhaps it's the only one that might have worked, should I have had two hours to wait. It freaked me out a little 'cuz it didn't even appear to start working on the render after several moments of watching my cursor turn into a rainbow on and off. So I just closed it out and posted my question.

Picture playback order in iPhoto

when I have created an album in iPhoto and I press the "slide show" button at the bottom center of the screen, iPhoto plays the album last picture first (in reverse order). This never happened until the most recent release. I have tried to change this, but can't. Am i doing something wrong?

Larry,
This will work but it means I am setting up a slideshow in addition to the album. In the prior version of iPhoto an album would display the pictures in the order they are in ithout requiring this additional step. Yuor solution works. thanks.

Problems With Audio/Picture Playback in Director

I'm pretty new to Director and I want to refrain
from getting into scripting for this simple task:
I am animating frame by frame with no vectors. I put a .wav
file in one of the sound channels and stretch it across the entire
animation (few thousand frames) for a scene. Then, no matter where
I am in the animation, when I press play the sound starts from the
beginning.
There is no way in hell I'll be able to sync lips with
dialogue by playing the entire scene from the beginning every time
just to see the sound synced with audio. I want to be able to play
the same fraction of a second (several frames) while animating and
KNOW WHERE IN THE SOUND I'M AT. I would have thought this expensive
program would at least display the spectrogram or something, much
less not play the audio from the beginning when I'm in the middle
of the sound sprite. I've prerecorded the entire sound score in one
Audacity file and exported it as a .wav to Director. I don't want
to use any other sound channels or ques, etc.
PLEASE HELP, and thank you.

Director is a program that can be used to make interactive
multimedia
and software.
What you want is make a linear video.
You are much better off with a video editing suite or
specialised
synch software.

FCP and 24' Cinema Display

I'm using FCP with ProRes Proxy. When I view the playback full screen on the 24', I get a stutter on the picture playback. Is there anything I can do to eliminate this aggravating problem?
Thanks

Play it back on a system that a) has fast enough hard drives and b) includes the ability to send a video signal out to a proper monitor.
Lacking that, no other ideas.

Sound dropping when iPod connected to stereo - iOS 4.1

Why is the sound dropping when watching videos from the iPod when connected to a TV?
I have a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K AV receiver with this nice setup (cable and functionality) that lets me watch videos on my TV with the iPod connected to the AVR (USB + composite video cable). The result is not bad, with better video than audio.
HOWEVER after upgrading to iOS 4.1 the sound (not picture) is dropping after various intervals of time (1 - 20 minutes) while plugged into the AVR. When I unplug the connection the video stops and the iPod goes back to the menu. The audio plays normally when restarting the video without the cable and continues to play normally when I plug the AVR cable back into the iPod. On occassions when plugging the AVR's cable into the iPod the sound does not come back, though unpluggin and plugging in again usually does it.
Anyone else have similar issues? I see some issues with apps and battery life under iOS4.1 and a few issues with audio / picture playback:

Have people had similar problems when iPods are connected to AVRs or TVs through composite or component cables? I realize the quality of sound / pictures from the iPod is not superb though it is as good as my sattelite dish. I could just have a computer connected to the AVR via HDMI or similar but well that would mean having a computer just for iTunes.

Thanks for posting this because I too have the Pioneer VSX-1019AH and have just noticed this problem. I rarely listen to my iphone (ipod) through my receiver and this problem never occured before until yesterday.
I am experiencing a sound loss at random times, and it takes restarting the receiver, or disconnecting then reconnecting the iphone cable to get the sound back again, only for it to go off again in a few moments time.
Whilst the sound is off, both the iphone and receiver are continuing to play music because you can see the title of the tracks change on both devices. So where the fault lies is hard to tell but I'd say it's with the ios4.
I don't know whether Apple will provide any support regarding this problem but I do notice the receiver has been endorsed "made for ipod" which means it meets Apple performance standards.

Slide show on DVD. How?

I have made a slide show in Lightroom 4.4. I want to make a DVD that I can watch at my DVD player. How do I do it?

Most DVD and Blu-ray players will create a slideshow for you using JPEG image files on a USB thumb drive or SD memory card. You'll get the best results using a Blu-ray player and 16:9 TV.
1) Create your slide show using the LR 'Widescreen' template.
2) Use 'Export JPEG Slideshow' with 1920 Width x 1080 Height for Blu-ray players, 1280 Width x 720 Height for DVD players, with 80 Quality to keep the file size smaller.
3) For the 'File Name' use the number 1, which will number the images 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 to maintain your slide order.
Check the player's User Manual for details on its 'Picture' playback features and setup.

Play audio files simultaneously ?

I only have iMovie '08, Garageband '08 and and regular Quicktime. I'm trying to recreate a song by recording the guitar1 part, the guitar2 part, bass, and vocal parts and then putting them together. I tried doing this using iMovie and Garageband, but it wouldn't let me have more than one video file. I don't know how to export just the audio from iMovie, and I know with Quicktime Pro you can view multiple clips at once, which would be perfect, but you can only play one audio at a time.
I would be more than willing to buy Quicktime Pro, but iLife is a little too rich for my blood. Anything in the $50 range that would help me accomplish my goal would be MUCH appreciated!! Thanks!

I was actually referencing your video, in which you deleted all of the audio except for one. If all your movies had different audios, had you not deleted it would they have all played simultaneously?
Thanks for posting the link so I would know to which movie you were referring. Answer above assumed you were trying to play multiple movies in separate players simultaneously. In this case, where I placed several, differetnly compressed video tracks in a single player, I did only use a single audio track since they were all the same AIFF (Linear PCM) content and I wanted to save what little file space I could for online viewing purposes. To answer your question, yes, if multiple audio trackes are layered to the same player over the same time interval and all of these tracks are activated (simultaneously checked for playback) then all of the tracks will play simultaneously.
Here is an "S&G" example of a file in which selected segments of the audio and video content from one movie are layered over the audio and video of another movie for simultaneous "picture-in-picture" playback as requested by another QT forum user. SAMPLE 012
There is also a third interactive, multiple audio/video track option in which the viewer can switch between the display of individual video tracks in the same player display area while either playing all of audio tracks simultaneously or only playing the audio associated with the currently displayed video track. While this is emplimented relatively easily using QT Pro, the switching of playback content is not always all the smooth and the file size overhead can quickly maunt up. Still, it might be an interesting effect if you are playing all of the various instruments and doing all of the vocal parts. Biggest proble would likely be the synchronization of all the content of the various tracks. The hook here, of course, is the fact that the viewer can, at his or her whim, cycle through the various tracks unlike cutting and pasting various track segments in a fixed playback order. Oh, well, just some more "food for thought" for the creative QT Pro users.

Lets Be Honest Creat

Creative please allow us some true honesty about the zen touch. I do recall jermey saying that the firmware would be worth the wait, for some it was and other not, are our petitions not even looked at? or are they looked at but the development team couldnt even be bother to throw in a few simple features? obviously the zen touch wasnt close to being a priority and was obsolete from the st day it came out. Creative always hiding behind their vague responses, of we dont have any information and we are not allowed to say dates. Creative just be honest with the touch owners, we have been abandond in all honesty. Apperently there is alot of MTP Firmware problems and its not even downgradeable, what is the point of having that? Also Creative in cause you are both blind and deaf i am mentioning for the millionth time, the EQ is broken. From a company that prides itself in selling top notch sound equipment, you have really blown it this time. I hereby vow to never buy creative again.

Here's what I found so far.
Sensory touchpad SuperScroll for fast music navigation
/2" 65K color LCD screen supports ID3 tags
Digital FM tuner with 20 station presets
FM and voice recording
JPEG still picture playback with music slideshow capability
5 preset equalizer settings
2 /8" W x 3 7/6" H x /6" D
Includes earbuds, rechargeable Li-Ion battery, cradle connection cable, and AC adapter
AND you can Listen to the Radio while doing something else, for example searching for a title in the musik library. you can not do this with the Micro. You can also watch photos while listening to musik. There is a very interseting interacti've guide of the latest Philips DAP on the Philips site. It is worth a look.
However I am very pleased with my Zen Micro, and i still think it is one of the best DAPs overthere (not the photo though). It has a lot of comfortable features like playlist creation (it is not the most advanced, but hey it is stil an audio player, not a musik management utility), the Keyword search funktion ist great when you do not have proper id3 tags, and the look up artist and a decent FM receiver. Now a year later after its launch, it is still one of the few good DAPs (AUDIO) on the market.

Can I create an iDVD slide show and keep the picture resolution high so the pictures will be HDTV quality or near HDTV quality for playback on a DVD player?

How do I create an iDVD slide show that does not compress the photos making them low-res? When I insert the iDVD I have made into a DVD player connected to an HDTV, the playback quality of the pictures are very low. Is there a way to correct this when creatinf the iDVD?

The post by Bengt Wärleby in this topic describes a workflow for producing a high quality slideshow but not an HD one as macpmaus pointed out isn't possible: Create HD slideshow: Apple Support Communities

My playback screen in iMovie '11 is always blank or a still, broken picture. How do I fix this?

Picture of my screen: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/88/screenshot20120623at929.png/
Sometimes it ends up like this: a still, broken picture: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/screenshot20120623at929.png/
I don't know what happened. It was fine until I tried to play back a video I was making and it didn't want to. Imported videos play fine, but when I drag a clip to the editing part it doesn't play.
I also made a short project a while ago, but no matter what I tried I couldn't delete it. I also couldn't play it again or even access the editing screen
I don't know if I imported too many videos, or have too many videos in the Project Library, but the playback screen is just not working!
The audio is completely fine, however.
What happened?

Hi
Have no clue - but You might try some of this
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

How can I playback iphone 5 videos without jerky picture?

All the videos I have taken of my son on iphone 5 will not playback properly on my laptop - they have a really jerky broken picture. I think this is because of the speed issue but is there anything I can do to sort this out on my computer. I don't know how to save the videos as lower resolution. It doesn't seem to give me that option unless i purchase quicktime 7 etc...
advice gratefully received

You will have to wait until unlocked iPhones are available (and it has not been announced yet when that will be).

Toshiba RDXV60KB - On playback only sound but no picture

If I understand you right you can see the menu and everything else but only video material is not visible, right?

How to ungroup a set of pictures in playback on powershot sx60

I often hit the wrong button an a group of pictures I shot get into group set playback. I cannot find in the manual how to ungroup these pictures - which then stops me from magnifying a image in playback to check it out. Is there a way?
