Poor resolution and random order of images

Im using idvd for the first time. I have noticed that the image quality on stills is very poor.
Also the load order seems random. Is there any way to set a higher res on the images and also,
without going thru all of the images one by one, to set the order as "in order they were shot"
thanks
tony

tony:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To get the photos in the order you want assemble them in an iPhoto album and put them in the order you want.
In iDVD locate the album in the Media/Photos pane and drag the album icon into the slideshow pane on the left.
Where are you seeing the lower resolution, in iDVD or after burning? Are you cropping the photos to the 4:3 ratio before adding to iDVD. Most cameras produce photos at that ratio but photos from other sources may not be. The encoding process produces images that are 640 x 480 in size. That's standard for DVDs. If you play a DVD full screen on the computer it certainly won't look as good as the displaying the photos on the monitor by another method.

  • Quicktime poor resolution and large file how to improve

    I've been trying to use Quicktime Version 10.3 (727.1) to record a screen session.
    It works OK, but the quality is terrible. The characters are all fuzzy on playback. Despite that the 10minute recording takes up 85MB in .mov format.
    I'm not changing screens much, and the content on the screens is very simple, so I'd have thought that it would be possible to get a really clean and small file.
    Is there anything that can be done to make this better?
    If not, is there a better tool to use to do this?

    Is there anything that can be done to make this better?
    This type of question is difficult to answere since you have not indicated eactly what you are doing or using. (E.g., are you on an older, slower or newer, faster platform, are you recording the entire screen or just a portion thereof, and what is the specific recording and plaback resolutions?)
    It works OK, but the quality is terrible. The characters are all fuzzy on playback. Despite that the 10minute recording takes up 85MB in .mov format.
    85 MBs is actually a very small file for 10 minutes of video, (I.e., a 10 minute 1080p MPEG-4 AVC file would probably be on the order of 3.75 GBs and a 10 minute 1080p Apple trailer would like be in the 600 to 900 MBs size range.) Your 85 MB/10 minute file has a combined total average data rate of only abour 1.13 Mbps which would normally be used for an SD (640x480 to 853x480) file of "good" quality.
    I'm not changing screens much, and the content on the screens is very simple, so I'd have thought that it would be possible to get a really clean and small file.
    Screen recording quality primarily depends on on your system's CPU power and the screen area being captured. The smaller the area for a give level of CPU power, the faster the frame rate of the capture at the data rate targeted by the capturing software. Unfortunately, the screen recording feature for QT X v10.3 is contextual and does not give the user any options other than changing the area of the screen to be recorded.
    If not, is there a better tool to use to do this?
    The free QT X screen recorder is often not the best tool here. Some third-party apps are more efficient, allowing a better "intermediate" capture that is then scaled during a targeted export which allows the user to "set" a quality level up to the maximum of the captured content. Unfortunately for you, the higher the quality—the larger the final file will be. Basically, there three facets to recording/exporting content—efficiency in terms of speed, quality, and file size. With good source content, you can optimaize any two facets but never all three. Unfortunately, QT X under Mavericks does not provide an optimum souce file to do this using the Mavericks built-in Finder "Convert" service routine.

  • Screen turns black and returns with an orange tinted window with poor resolution

    Im running on a Presario S6700NX. Windows-xp It has been running proper until about two weeks ago. Nothing has been added or taken from the system. However, lately I've been getting a black screen that last several seconds and when my window reappears however, It's with an orange tint and with very poor resolution. Several seconds later my window reappears with the proper resolution. This happens whether I'm running an application or not and it's continuous. I've searched microsoft knowledge base and I've gotten no response it's as if it's never happened to anyone else. So now I'm trying HP Forum in the hopes that someone out there may have encountered a similar problem or has heard of a simular situation. This is a cry for HELP. Please if anyone out there can help me it would be deeply appreciated. I want to give my thank you beforehand and hope for a response.

    @jck & @awaller well not literally every other time, it occurs randomly. sometimes I can work for like an hour or as long as I want and nothing happens, sometimes after 5 minutes *boom* the screen goes black, except of one column with random pixels, i tried to switch to a different console with ctrl+alt+(F1-F6) but it did not work...
    do you know where I have to look for errors? I also tried to reinstall the drivers, but it did not help..
    I see something like this on my T420 Thinkpad sometimes. It turns out the backlight is just going out. I'm reluctant to say it's a kernel issue and not hardware - I have vague memories of it happening on Windows 7 as well, but that was years ago ...
    It happens on Arch and Debian definitely, and the following fix works on both for me:
    Opening a terminal (which I have bound to a key) and running "xset dpms force off", then moving the mouse or something to wake the display again brings it back to light.
    Try that the next time it happens and see if it helps. Will at least confirm whether it's the same issue as me or not.

  • When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

    When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

    Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
    I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
    One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
    But still thanks, nevertheless.

  • I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated.

    I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
    thanks!

    I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
    Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down?

  • Any fix for random art and song order problems after adding new music?

    If I sync my touch with itunes as a restore, all cover art, albums and playlists are correct. Once I add anything new or make a change and re-sync, random cover art is missing and random songs are in the wrong order. The only way to fix the problems is through a complete restore. Has anyone else had this problem or figured out a fix? I am using the latest itunes on a PC with XP.

    A few issues, but sorry let me try to understand.
    Adding new music, 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' can you let me know the number. most likely music format is not iPod Compatible like HE-AAC.
    started skipping songs  - these are normally due to corrupted ID3 tags, try converting them -File-> Advance -> IPOD version or use MP3 validator to fix all songs in the library. (My Apologies, only work for MP3 music that skipped)
    As for item 2, you can try Hard Reset if you like to download MP3 validator.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • Changing resolution and image size doesn't change result on screen?

    I'm using Photoshop CS3. I am trying to change the resolution of several images that will be printed in a newspaper. So the current images are 72 ppi and really huge -- for example 36 x 27 inches (document size), and when I change them to 300 ppi, the image sizes shrink to about 8 x 6 inches, as I expect. But the image I see on the screen doesn't change. So, for example, when I open up the image originally, it's at 33% and the entire image is visible. After I change the resolution, and the image size has changed accordingly, the image still appears the same and it remains at 33%. Shouldn't the image shrink on the screen since its size has shrunk? Or if it remains the same on the screen, shouldn't the percentage shift? I mean if the document size is now 8 x 6, it should be able to be displayed at 100% and not fill my whole screen... I'm so confused. Thanks...

    gradded,
    The "Document Size" area of the Image Size dialog is just to indicate the size (in inches) that your document will be printed. The ppi adjustment has nothing to do with what is displayed on your monitor. Your monitor doesn't care anything about ppi. The monitor contains a certain number of pixels and after you change that ppi setting, the monitor will still have that same number of pixels.
    As long as you leave the "Resample Image" box unchecked, your image size (Pixel Dimensions) will not change. You will see no change on your monitor. If you check the "Resample Image" box, then your image size (in pixels) will change.
    Hope this helps.

    Why, when I sync my iPhone does it always take all my apps out of their neat sorted little boxes of twelve Apps organised by a commonality and rearrange them over a dozen screens in random order? Each time I sync, I have a 1hr long task of relocating apps.
    Why no tleave them spread out I hear you ask... That is not practicable. I then have 12 pages to scan rather than just two. I need a solution... :-P

    I realize this is an old thread but I'm having the same problem after upgrading my software today. Kinda surprised there are no solutions at all with 88 views.  I have an iPod touch btw, not an iPhone, but it prob wouldn't make much difference in this case.
    The thing is, I get the screen(s) looking EXACTLY as I want on iTunes...just perfect (which is what I believe everyone else is experiencing as well).  When we go to sync tho, it does whatever it wants to do.  After syncing, all the apps are there, it's just that for me, it puts them in some type of random order.  I have 72 apps and this is absolutely ridiculous!
    Thanks in advance for any fixes anyone might have...

  • How i reduce the resolution and size or bytes of an image??

    Hi all,
    I want to reduce the size and resolution or bytes of an image?Is anyone knows the solution of my problem??
    Plzz help me out.
    Thankss

    Darryl's suggestion is the best first course to reduce the image size. You might also experiment with reducing the color depth (e.g. - 64 million colors-> 256 colors/16 colors) of the images - which works particularly well for GIF (almost mandatory) or PNG - though it is relatively pointless for JPEG.
    BTW - adding dukes indicates 'interest level', but adding '4 dukes' indicates the problem is not very important. Do not expect me to make a second post on this matter unless the dukes are raised to '10' - I don't have the time.

  • Relation between image size, resolution and pixels

    I would like to increase the size of image by using PSE9.
    For sample existing image had: width (W) 6.073", height (H) 7.683", resolution 300, pixels W 1822, H 2305.
    A situation) when I changed the image to W 8, H10 and click on RESAMPLE the resolution on changed but number of pixels increase to W 2400  and
       H 3036
    B situation) Image size W 8, H 10 and NO ACTIVATED RESAMPLE. Now resolution reduced to 227 and number of pixel NO CHANGED from original
       W 1822, H 2305
    In my understanding if image blow up the number of pixels will be same as original and only the distance between pixels will be increase. So, resolution should
    be dropped.
    Now the question: How in sample A increase number of pixels? From where they come?
    More realistic looks sample B.
    Now other way: I used crop - make original image smaller. So, the number of pixels should degrees and resolution NO CHANGED. But PSE 9 shown number of pixels same and resolution increased.
    Is it right?
    What is wrong or right in above explanation?
    Can visible find the difference between samples A & B on computers monitor? I tried blow up sample B by 10 times and still no differences on screen,It is because resolution of monitor to low?

    A. Resample means elements adds pixels to the existng pixels to increase image size
        and\or resolution and subtracts pixels to downsize. Usually resampling to make an image
        smaller is okay, but resampling to make an image bigger can result in loss of quality.
        Of course that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, just something to keep in mind.
    B. Leaving the resample box unchecked, elements only changes resolution (print size)
        and doesn't change the actual number of pixels (harm the image) so the image will
        be and look the same on your monitor.
    Usually a resampled image will be of lower quality than a non resampled image because
    elements has to make pixels to upsize and subtract pixels to downsize.
    Elements uses the resampling method choosen in the image size dialog to determine how,
    with one of the bicubic choices being the best for photos.
    Elements, as far as i know, uses the standard bicubic mehod for the resampling with the crop tool.

  • Image resolution and ipad3 retina

    I have just screenshot an ipad home screen from an ipad3 (with app buttons etc) and wish to place this into indesign as a mockup for a client.
    I have tried so many variations on resolution in Photoshop, making sure its placed in at 100% in indesign but it never looks crisp?
    Any suggestions on resolution and pixel size would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    Thanks for your reponse Bob,
    The image is fine in photoshop and a little worse in Indesign (display performance: High Quality), but when viewed on an ipad3 retina it isn't as hi-res?
    The image I screen shot is 2048x1536. Placed in an Indesign 1024x768 document at 50% with Actual 72ppi and Effective 144ppi.
    Is there something I'm missing?
    Thanks,
