Poor resolution using sony sr5

I recently bought a Sony SR5 HD handycam and shot a party in 1080i. I am disapointed that the quality seems worse than my sony minidv standard definition camera upon import. Anyone have this problem?

Same exact issue. I have a 2013 Airport Extreme router and no matter what channel the airport is on, apple tv has low resolution and will often pause playback and show the loading bar/spinning indicator. This is very unexpected. I thought the APE and Apple TV would be great together, but my old Linksys router (circa 2006) works better than this.
What is going on apple? I feel like I paid $199 for a low grade router when both of these products should live up to Apple's reputation of excellence. So far, this has not been the case.
I've tried every channel on the APE, restarted everything multiple times over the past several months, but still the playback with Apple TV continues to be poor.
I would say I've been having this issue for about 5 months with the APE. This is the 2nd one. I took the first one back because of the same issue. The guys at the store were surprised to hear about this, but I find that odd since this is happening with both routers.
Aside from the issues for the past 5 months, ever since the latest Apple tv update, things have been even worse.
If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. On the verge of taking everthing back and getting my money back!

  • Poor resolution connecting my MBP to TV via HDMI. visable vertical lines.

    hey!
    so I've been googeling around for awhile and it seems A LOT of people have this issue. but I haven't been able to find a solution yet. Story goes... connecting the MBP to the TV via DVI to HDMI gives poor resolution. the weird thing is this only happens every other time. I've tried it on my macbook pro (2007) and another macbook (2010) and it has the same issue with both (but only sometimes). any thoughts?
    thanks!
    Grant

    To Csound's good advice, let me just add that there may be a specific HDMI port on the TV that you must use if you're going to send audio to the TV separately. This should also be explained in the TV's manual.

  • How to keep a High Quality Movie Resolution using IDVD ?

    Hi,
    When I connect my camcorder to the TV directly, I can see very sharp resolution video (in normal TV screen format).
    If I download the same recording to Apple in widescreen format, add music to it using iMovie and then burn it using iDVD, I get very poor resolution when I watch this movie on the same TV.
    Would you know how can I do to keep my sharp resolution after burning my movie using IDVD?
    Kind Regards.

    Hi
    This is due to iMovie and really iMovie'08 or 09
    They are aimed for quick editing to web-publishing - not high quality DVD.
    iMovie 1 to HD 6 and FinalCut Express or Pro are the tool of choise for DVD or
    even Blue-Ray (needs Roxio Toast™ and ev. a Blue-Ray burner/disks)
    iMovie'08 and 09 discard every second line = less quality very close to VHS.
    I never managed to get full quality from them to feed iDVD.
    • Pro Quality encoding in iDVD is very sufficient to my needs and
    burning out with Roxio Toast™ as Blue-Ray to standard DVD (max 20-30 minutes)
    gives an even better result BUT ONLY PLAYBACK on Blue-Ray player or PlayStation 3.

  • Importing pics from a friend's Facebook album - poor resolution

    I am making a photo book in iPhoto and am saving pictures from a Facebook albums ... but resolution is too poor to use. Any suggestions??

    Only one. Don't use photos from facebook albums. When a pic is uploaded to Facebook it is "processed", which means almost all the metadata is stripped away and it is heavily compressed. Simply, they are such poor quality that they won't print well.
    Regards

  • On my pc I used Sony Vegas to edit video, what's a similar program I could use on a Mac??

    I used Sony Vegas on my desktop PC, and I got it free when I was in college from our online downloads website...but now that I graduated last year, And just now got a Mac, I was wondering what the cheapest alternative would be for Sony Vegas.  I don't really like the imovie so far compared to it just because Sony did a ton of stuff and I miss it.  Can anyone help me out?
    Thank you.

    Heh, heh, welcome to the Real World, where Adobe practically rapes you for everything but the free Reader plugin. Yes, you'l remember fondly the fun and carefree days when good stuff was on the campus server...
    If you've still got the Vegas installer at hand, could try and set up a virtual PC running an appropriate flavor of Windoze and run it there. Oracle VirtualBox is free, you'll just have to supply your Windows activation and install media.

  • Using Sony's IDC in combination with Lightroom

    I would like to use Sony's IDC Raw converter that comes with the Sony A700 camera, to be able to process through Sony IDC the RAWs with DRO's (Dynamic Range Optimalization) applied (as shot with the A700).
    However I would like to keep LightRoom as my archiving base.
    Question:
    Can I bring RAWs after importing in LightRoom, to IDC?
    Can I after converting the RAWs in IDC, bring the resulting PSDs (or JPEGs) from IDC back to Lightroom (for archiving)?
    I appreciate your help!

    Yes, and No!
    Lightroom won't allow you to use IDC on the Raw file, Lightroom only allows ACRaw to be used to "develop" a raw file. However, you can use Lightroom's ranking and review functions to help you decide which files you want to work with. Then right click and select show in explorer. Then select the file you want to develop, and tell Explorer to open in IDC. You then can develop, save as a Tiff and import.
    Pain in the Arse isn't it?
    Frankly if you have access to Bridge then this is faster and more convenient. Import the ARW and use IDC to make Tiffs.
    But why do you want to do this?
    Frankly DRO only becomes special when you use DRO Advanced. Anything else can be easily duplicated in Lightroom. DRO Advanced can not be done by IDC,(it's like Lightzone on Steroids) it's done by the camera, the processor looks at each pixel and compares it with adjacent pixels and makes adjustments in the jpg. So the only way to utilise DRO Advanced (and it's astonishing what is achieved) is to shoot in Jpg (and probably in cRaw + Jpeg) I shoot everything in cRaw only but have a MR setting to utilise DRO Advanced - cRaw + Jpeg, ISO 200 (remember that DRO advanced effectively locally amplifies the pixels, so if you start at say ISO 800 certain pixels could be amplified to ISO 6400!
    I can then import both the cRaw and the Jpeg.
    Hope this makes sense.

  • Does apple have update to idvd so I can use Sony dcr-sx44 camcorder

    Does apple have an update to idvd so I can use sony dcr-sx44 camcorder?

    If you already have iDVD then run Software Update, if there are any updates available for iDVD they will be posted. While that doesn't answer your question directly it is your best option. Looking at the software specifications for the camera it doesn't look like it was ever intended to work with OS X. This is what I found on Sony's website:
    Software
    Supplied Software : PMB Ver.5.0 Supports Windows XP Service Pack3 (SP3)(32bit), Windows Vista Service Pack2 (SP2) (32bit), Windows 7, 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported. Not supported by Mac OS.
    Operating System Compatibility : "Windows XP SP3 * /Windows Vista SP2 ** /Windows7 * 64-bit editions and Starter (Edition) are not supported.The Windows Image Mastering API(IMAPI)Ver.2.0 or later is required to use the function for creating discs. ** Starter (Edition) are not supported. Standard installation is required. Operation is not assured if the above OS has been upgraded or in a multi-boot environment. "
    I suspect a camera upgrade may be what you need to do.

  • Can you use Sony NS400 speakers with Apple Tv

    Can you use Sony NS400 wifi speakers with Apple TV
    Thanks
    Hugh

    The iPad/iPhone need to be on the same section of the network as the Apple TV. connect the Apple TV to the wireless router instead of the AT&T router. If you can, connect the other devices as well...

  • I have a desktop iMac,within a yr old, I had iPhoto 9,downloaded to iPhoto 11, now lost my export to Shutterfly link, & looks like all my photos went to thumbnails, with poor resolution...help!!

    I have a desktop iMac OSX 10.6.8, had iPhoto 9 & downloading software update to iPhoto 11, (9.1.5??) I can't find the way to reset up the "Export to Shutterfly mode" and it looks like all my previous photos went to a thumbnail size...with now poor resolution. If I would have know my pictures were going to turn into poor quality pictures, I never would have done the software update.  Need a real person to talk to. This complicated method is not user friendly.

  • Poor resolution after importing to iMovie 10

    I've just upgraded to iMovie 10 and Mavericks from 9 and my old clips are now displaying with what appears to be a poor resolution. When I watch them in 9 they look much richer.....thoughts?

    i am having the same issue. tried "adjust colors" in the video FX and the preview looked great, but application of the effect left the clip unchanged.
    did you get any help from another source (since this seems to be without responses)?

  • Regarding role resolution using evaluation paths in workflow

    hi all,
    Could anybody guide me on the steps needed to configure role resolution using evaluation paths in workflow. IF u could provide me with a sample it would be great.
    Thanks in advance,
    steve

    Hi Steve,
    Why dont you check the Standard rule <b>168</b>. I am sure, that will give you some idea of Agent Determination. I mean, please refer the SWX_GET_MANGER function module.
    In this,you can see RH_STRUC_GET is the function module that determines the required Agent/related Org Object using the Evaluation path(see the parameter - ACT_WEGID), here they have used SAP_TAGT.
    I hope this helps.

  • Poor resolution on playback of PNG slides

    I'm making a video presentation consisting of *.MOD segments and PowerPoint slides that have been converted as 25-90 KB *.PNG slides.  I burn the DVD. On playing the DVD on TV,  the slides have very poor resolution. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help you can give.

    Welcome to the forum.
    What are the pixel x pixel dimensions of those PNG images. File size does not really mean anything in video.
    What is your Project's Frame Size in pixels, say 1920 x 1080?
    Exactly how did you convert the PowerPoint "slides" to PNG?
    Good luck, and please let us know a bit more.
