Poor visual quality connecting PB 15" to LCD tvs ( both HD and non HD)

I can connect my 15 " G4 PB to both my LCD tvs - one is a 19" non HD Sharp Aquos, the other is a HD 37" Sharp Aquos-
however, the visual quality is terrible- no matter what res I choose, mirrored, non- mirrored, - the fonts are fuzzy are totally illegible, making the operation essentially useless- even the screensavers and desktop pictures, icons etc. are very fuzzy
I know I have the right wires, connections etc.- the on screen action follows exactly what is on my pb- for example, opening files, etc. but the visuals are horrible-
I have browsed the posts but none seem to address this particular issue-
any suggestions would be of help-

OK, that's what I thought. Of all the ways you can connect to a TV or monitor, here is the quality from best to worst, from top to bottom:
HDMI/DVI (computer display quality via digital)
VGA (computer display quality via analog)
S-Video/component (TV display quality via analog)
Composite video (TV display quality via analog)
You are using the second worst type of connection. Nice TVs often have VGA, DVI, or HDMI ports, which can carry the high, sharp resolutions produced by computers. S-Video is but a step up from VHS videotape quality and can only be fuzzy. Technically, S-Video is only around 640x480, a fraction of what your PowerBook screen can do.
Check your TV ports again. If it has DVI, you can connect with your PowerBook's DVI port and the quality will be the best it possibly can. If there is no DVI but there is HDMI, then you can get a DVI-HDMI adapter and the quality should be just as high. If those two aren't available, look for VGA next, the quality will be good but not best. You can use the DVI-VGA adapter that came in the box with your PowerBook.
Going out the S-Video port is a last resort. I have an old TV that only takes composite video through the S-Video port, if I use the S-Video-to-Composite adapter that came in the PowerBook box. Going all the way down to composite video is the absolute last resort of all. (I'm saving up for a new TV!) However, S-Video might be the only way to connect to an affordable non-HD set.
One last thing: If you're mirroring the displays, the two resolutions must match. But if you're using extended desktop mode, the best resolutions to use are to set each display to its native resolution.

thank you roger. i have attempted to connect my mbp now 3 times (all different ways with different cables purchased) but unfortunately no success. i understand that with me having an older mbp it can be a challenge. i have found this page http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-a-Macbook-to-a-TV but with my unsuccessful history, i have become skeptical. i will try your suggestion and let you know. thank you again.

Data source for application using both pooled and non pooled connections

Hi guys.
I am integrating Oracle's connection pooling into an existing application that had formerly used dbConnectionBroker. It looks like this task should be quite straightforward. However, for consistency, I would also like to replace other Connection logic within the application to use Oracle classes. This will involve using OracleDataSource to obtain a Connection object. ( without pooling ).
So in this case, the application will use both pooled and non pooled Oracle connections. They will be connecting to the same database. The question I have is in regard to the use of data-sources.xml.
Are there any special considerations for the required attribute values within data-sources.xml under this scenario ?
Help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Steve.

Hi Steve -
It should be feasible for you to define a single datasource using multiple location entries to indicate what sort of pooling behaviour you wish to use.
If you lookup and use the "location" attribute, you will receive a javax.sql.DataSource object which will not provide connection pooling.
If you lookup and use the "ejb-location" attribute you will receive a DataSource object that will support connection pooling operations.
Note that this is using the emulated datasource approach, and transaction support is limited to a single resource (one database) for these datasources - you won't get 2PC support for transactions.
If you need a transaction to span two separate resources (ie two databases in same tx) then you will need to use the non-emulated datasource approach.
There is a chapter in the J2EE Services Guide which describes the datasource model we have with OC4J. This might provide you with some more useful information. See Chapter 11 - http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/903doc_otn/generic.903/a97690/ds3.htm#1004903

Can't connect to D-Link router. Both Wireless and Wired connection.

Hi guys,
So I've had this problem for a really long time. I am unable to connect to my D-Link router. My laptop used to be able to connect to this router before. I was using my laptop then all of a sudden I was disconnected from the wifi connection.
I tried to connect back to it but it said that I needed to be in range. I'm tethering off my phone atm to write this post. I'm currently right beside the router but it still gives me the same message. Sometimes it'll just say that
windows cannot connect to the hidden network. I tried using an ethernet cable to directly connect via LAN, it worked for awhile, but recently now it says that I don't have a valid IP configuration. I've looked through many forums and threads and
tried their "fixes" but I guess it still wasn't my "fix". I have gone into CMD and did the ipconfig /all command and here are my details:

Not sure if this "Tunnel adapter" should even be there. Anyways, my laptop is a MSI-CR600. I've had it for awhile now, past warranty and whatnot. Never called and brought it back to the manufacturer. D-Link router is
DIR-825. And to narrow it down even more, I can connect to my friend's router, aslo at my church, and my girlfriend's place. If there is any other info needed to help solve this problem, just let me know. I'll do what I can. Thanks!
(Oh, and everything is up to date! Drivers, etc.)

HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.

Connects with 460.8 Kbps in both 2G and 3G in Noki...

Hi,
I am using Nokia 500 and the problem is – whenever I connect to the internet by using 2G or 3G it gets connected with 460.8 Kbps always. I am able to browse and download files in good speed when I connect it via 3G but just wanted to know that, can it affect internet speed when I am on 3G?
I get around 100-500 KB/sec. speed when I use internet in just my phone. But when I use it in PC I get around 50-150 KB/sec. using Internet Download Manager software. So, is it because of the speed shown when I connected it?
So, please help me in the following problem. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yeah, it automatically increases its link speed with the increase in the internet speed. See the image for more info.

I need to connect Lightning to RCA componet for both Video and Audio

I have an Ipad 2nd generation and use a 30 pin to RCA Componet adapter from rockfish and its work great for video and audio. I now have a IPad mini 5 gen and I bought a lightning to 30 pin adapter and tried to use my Ipad mini to watch video and audio. Audio works but video does not. Does anyone have a solution for this for the new Ipad Mini and iphone 5s.

Nope.
There is no lightning to RCA.
The 30 pin adaptor clearly states it does not support video out.

I cannot access the App Store, iTunes on the iPhone. I get a generic message "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store", etc. Both Safari and my e-mail work fine, as well as all of my other internet-using apps.

Kindly repy for the above from Apple Experts......
Thanking you in advance...

are you signed in to those stores? do you have them restricted in settings, restrictions?

Why the extremely poor sound quality in playback with itunes?

I am having problems with the sound quality of itunes music. this applies to both downloads and cd's. This problem is new, I believe, and affects bluetooth speaker, earphones, and macbook pro internal speaker. All have extremely poor playback with itunes. This Problem does not happen with playback of youtube videos.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I would be worth playing some tracks with Quicktime so see what the quality is like there.
iTunes uses Quicktime to play music.

Poor Photobooth quality after Maverick

Well hello community. After i installed Maverick from Mountain Lion i realized my macbooks built in camera went down in quality. I already tried to reinstall Maverick but it didn't work. how do i fix this?

Adam, I have the same issue. I recently got a new computer, downloaded iTunes 8 and moved all my songs over using my iPod. Songs play slow, skip slightly and just have poor sound quality. Music still sounds great on my iPod and on my old computer. I also followed Jason L's recommendations, without success. Hoping someone will have an answer.

MacMini - LG 32" (32LB75) Problem - Poor video quality and now no picture.

Hi there, apologies for the length of this post....
I purchased a mac mini 1.8Ghz with 2Gb RAM yesterday with a wireless keyboard and mouse and hooked it up to my 32" LG 32LB75 using VGA. On startup the display looked ok, I managed to click through the various Leopard initialisations. I bought the machine for use as a front room media player for mainly DivX movies and the occasional bit of music.
Once I had installed the DivX codec I opened a DivX file in Quicktime and selected "full screen mode." As soon as the movie started I became quite disappointed. The picture quality was quite pixelated ("noisy") and certainly not as good as when I play the same movie file from my old dell PC on the same LG tv (the dell PC has a 64Mb PCI radeon 7000 which connects to the tv using the same VGA port as the mac).
Anyway just to give the mac a fair go I thought I would try out some genuine quicktime video samples from the itunes store (this time viewed from front row)....again not brilliant.
So I thought I would investigate the screen resolution to see if I could improve things. It appeared the resolution was set to 1900 by 1200ish I say "ish" because I can't remember exactly. I then attempted to reduce the resolution and eventually I settled on one that looked quite clear with the font size big enough to be easily read. Again I tried the movie and there wasn't much (if any improvement). Whilst changing resolutions the screen would go blank for a few seconds but on one particular setting (can't remember exact numbers) the display went blank and never came back. The tv now just displays "no signal".
I despaired and connected the mac to a 17" Iiyama montior that I use with a PC and it worked ok. However each time I tried to "hot swap" back to the television I would end up with no picture.
I'm really disappointed because everything else about the mac I really like. Particularly the remote for frontrow which is precisely what I wanted it for. The problem is I've spent over £500 and now seem to have a lesser quality picture than I had to begin with (ignoring for the moment that I don't have any picture!!)
Anyway my questions are these, answers to any or all most appreciated.
1) what is the easiest way to get my mini to start displaying on my tv again?
2) what would the optimum resolution be? My television mentions 1366 x 768 in the manual
3) If the mini doesn't offer this resolution in the pick list is it advisable to "force it" using some alternative software (ie 3dexpress.de)?
4) Is the video quality affected by the software player? ie would VLC give better picture with DivX over quicktime/itunes/front row?
5) How likely is it that the video resolution of my new mac mini isn't "as good" as my old dell machine with its PCI graphics card?
6) Finally if I don't get results as good as my existing PC setup, how accomodating are apple with refunds? I bought it from a UK high-street apple store. The back of the receipt mentions a "14 day not satisfied" return policy but then goes on to say something about being "unopened"...which seems a little confusing. Ie how do you know if you're satisfied until you've actually used it?

Hi there
the solution was to remove the various display config files in leopard and then restart the machine, this got my display back on the tv (albeit off centre). To fix the "off centre issue" I used the LG "auto correct" feature from the remote control "menu > screen" options.
The apple support site describes how to remove the affected leopard display files here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2213?viewlocale=en_US As you will see their resolution consists of 2 main steps, the first one involves starting your machine in safe mode, if this doesn't work then you proceed to the second step where you remove the files using a terminal prompt.
I didn't bother with the first step mainly because I don't think I can start my mac in safe mode since my only keyboard is wireless (bluetooth). So I connected the mac mini to a 17" LCD monitor (which thankfully did display the video signal ok) and removed all the listed files using terminal. I then shut the mac down, swapped the VGA cable back to the LCD tv restarted the mac and it detected the tv and set a resolution that worked. I then very carefully reduced the resolution down to one that was recommended by my tv (1300ish.. x 768ish??).
At this point I was back to having an acceptable signal but still a little off centre. So I used the TV remote, pressed menu, went into screen options and chose "auto correct". Picture then filled the screen perfectly.
The problem seems to be, leopard lists a bunch of resolutions that it believes your tv/display can handle but it would appear that in fact some of these resolutions are not supported by your TV and if you choose one of these your signal disappears and you can't get it back.
I would still say that I'm not 100% convinced with the mac mini's onboard graphics (I have a 1.8GHz version). I'm going to download some HD content and see if that improves things, but certainly my existing DivX collection looked a little sharper and clearer and better coloured using my old dell PC with its radeon PCI card. But the difference in picture quality is outweighed by the convenience of its size and the font row interface. I might tinker with putting Windows Media Center on it one day, perhaps that might improve things.

Poor image quality elements 12 slideshow preview

As I can't find any reference to my original post I thought I'd re-do it. I created a slideshow in elements 12 and found the image quality to fall far short of high definition. The source folder for the images used is contained in Windows Pictures. The pictures were taken with a Canon t4i camera with the image quality being excellent. For whatever reason the quality of the slideshow images are poor. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't purchase a video editing app to work with just still images. They are meant to be used with DV and really don't do a still image any justice.
The final source format should determine the software used. You are suggesting a DVD distribution of your work.
iPhoto is meant to be used on still images (not iMovie, in my opinion).
You don't really want to convert a single frame into multiple frames if you don't need to.
You may want to try the Photo JPEG, Motion JPEG or Animation codecs from iMovie and see if they improve the visual appearance of your work.
Since you want to use a DVD as the distribution method then iDVD may not be the best option either. It is meant for set top boxes using a poor 720X480 dimension in MPEG-2 video format.
You may want to consider a bit different approach and use a "data" DVD and use QuickTime Player as the playback engine. These will only play on a computer but your could use the higher dimensions to your advantage and also the visual quality of computer displays to showcase your work.
Since HD DVD players are not yet ready for mass use it may be a better way to distribute your work.
There is no 720X480 dimension limit (only the limit set by the viewer on the display size when viewed on a computer monitor).
Your "still" images would remain "still" except for transitions.
Heck. You could probably put the whole file onto a CD and save even more in production costs.

Poor picture quality in crystal reports

Post Author: marina
CA Forum: .NET
Hello,
I need insert high-quality photos of some products to a crystal report dynamically and then export this report to a PDF file to be printed by the customer as some proposal of products.
Some time ago I developed a web-application using MS Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 to generate PDF reports. I added images to reports generating BLOB objects at runtime. But the customer complains on poor quality of images in exported reports. The images in the exported reports have a problem of lost smooth color gradation. Now Iu2019m investigating if Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 would help me.
So, now Iu2019m using MS Visual Studio .NET 2005 and Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2005 for a test and nevertheless I have the same problem with poor image quality in a total report and an exported PDF file. If I insert a photo file (e.g., TIF or PNG, RBG/8) to a report template, I see an original good-quality picture (RBG/8) on the template screen. I do not use any scaling in the test. If I just switch to the Preview tab to preview the report, I see a bad-quality picture instead. It has the same width and height but has lost smooth color gradation and looks like a 256-color picture. The option "Retain Original Image Color Depth" does not help. I have the same problem with image quality in an exported PDF or MS Word file.
Is it possible to manage total image quality in crystal reports and how?
Your prompt reply will be very much appreciated.

Hello,
Iu2019ve found how to solve this problem in Crystal Reports for MS VS.NET 2005. The option u201CRetain Original Image Color Depthu201D in the Report Options window helps u2013 the preview screen and the exported PDF file contain images of suitable good quality.
Iu2019ve found information on the u201CRetain Original Image Color Depthu201D option here: http://support.businessobjects.com/library/kbase/articles/c2016162.asp?ref=devzone_rss_net.
Unfortunately, I donu2019t have the full version of Crystal Reports 9 or 10 to check if this helps to solve image quality problem in the application on MS VS.NET 2003.
So, I try to edit source report templates in Crystal Reports for MS VS.NET 2005. I set the u201CRetain Original Image Color Depthu201D option in the Report Options window for them. Then I use these updated templates in my old application on MS VS.NET 2003 u2013 I donu2019t edit the templates there, I just load these updated templates at runtime. Dynamic images are added as BLOB objects to a data set at runtime to bind the reports. But I still have the same problem of lost color gradation in generated reports and exported PDF files. I also insert static images for a test to the report templates in MS VS.NET 2005 and then generate reports again by the application on MS VS.NET 2003. I have the same problem of lost color gradation for the static images too.
So, is it possible to use u201Coriginal image color depthu201D in an application written on MS VS.NET 2003? Or should I remake the project under MS VS.NET 2005 to retain original image color depth?
Your prompt reply will be very much appreciated.

Visual quality questions

I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I want to be as clear and detailed as possible about my process and goals using iMovie and iDVD.
I read posts on this forum frequently and know that many users are having problems with the visual quality of the final product and are looking for help in finding the best method of sharing.
I use still photos exclusively in my projects. I shoot using jpeg fine or raw and I use a variety of transitions as well as the KB effect on a few of the photos when creating projects. My goal is to create a slideshow movie that I can burn to disc and give to friends.
Currently I am involved with an Apple Tech Support trying to solve a problem that is beyond the scope of these forums. Last week I was asked to create a 10 slide project using a variety of transitions and the KB effect on 2 or 3 photos, share through Export using QT, and to send it to my contact through her Mobile Me. The quality was appalling - as I knew it would be because I have tried various methods of sharing - all with poor results, with one exception. Sometimes the quality after the share is excellent but deteriorates in iDVD; sometimes the quality after the initial share itself is poor. It all depends on which process I choose. Reverting to iMovie HD has not proven successful either.
The one exception for me is to share using "Export Movie". I end with a product icon on the desktop with a title.mov signature. (I used this method last week to resend my 10 slide test project to Apple Support and my contact person commented on the high quality.) The time difference creating the project to me is telling: for example, for a slideshow project that is 24 minutes long in iMovie it takes almost 2 hours to create a movie using "Export Movie", but 36 minutes or less using any other sharing method.
I certainly have not read every post on this forum, nor do I have the expertise or skill of the people who respond to questions from others about visual quality. But I haven't seen the process I use suggested by anyone else. (I have offered my solution to the problem once or twice when I am certain that the questioner is using still photos.)
So my questions are these> Is there a difference in how iMovie/iDVD handle video vs still photo projects? Is the solution I have found to retaining high visual quality just a fluke that won't work for anyone else? I would like to be helpful to others if I can be, but don't want to waste other peoples' time if my solution really isn't a solution at all.

The problem is with imovie'08 or 09 and their way of discarding every second line
in interlaced video material. Not suited for DVDs.
Never got anything alike iMovie HD 6 or FCE/P from them.
Notes on DVD quality
*DVD quality*
1. iDVD 08 & 09 has three levels of qualities.
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
2. From
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not selfcontaining, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly eg x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with (Apple) Disk Util tool.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc).
5. Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW)
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
8. Don’t burn more than three DVD at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while befor next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JESDeinterlacer3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are plabacked by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choise before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU
Yours Bengt W
