Reversing video, 1 pixel shift = smoothness?

When reversing video, I know you should apply the shift field option to make it crisp/smooth. I'm just curious as to whether shifting the image 1 pixel up or down would have the same effect.

Graeme Nattress has a G-reverse filter that does a much better job than FCP's internal effect.

good luck.

Which method implementation of Pageable interface should return the page number ?w.r.t. your first question: don't return that number but return page n-1-i when page i is requested; your document will be printed in reverse order. Your class should implement the entire interface and wrap the original Pageable. (for that number n your class can consult the wrapped interface; read the API for the Pageable interface).

Video Pixelation Issue - New HP Pavilion 15-P008TX Notebook - Windows 8.1

Ahoy,
I've seen topics regarding this issue - i.e. first day running a new HP Pavilion 15-P008TX, using Windows 8.1...
However the video quality on videos being played from the DVD Drive, HDD, and streamed videos (e.g YouTube) are extremely low quality.
Unfortunately I can't screenshot the issue - the best way to describe it would be to say that the videos look like YouTube videos being viewed on 144p
DVDs, and even 1080p videos are low quality and pixelated...
So far I've tried the following to no avail:
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling intergrated video drivers (Intel HD 4400) and Nvidia 3D drivers (Geforce 830M)
- Switching scaled views in the display section
- Installing VLC (with the latest codecs) to test if it was a codec issue
- Running a windows update
- Changing Graphic settings that may intefere with issues in quality (both Intel HD settings app and Nvidia 3D settings)
Windows Apps and programs aren't affected, only video playback.
First day of using my new HP Notebook, and i'm hoping to resolve this issue promptly.
Cheers.

Hello Whoissyntax,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
In terms of the video pixel issue, it seems like there might be a hardware failure. You have also done the majority of the troubleshooting. The only other steps I can suggest are here: Display Quality Issues
If you are not satisfied, I would contact HP phone support, or return the product if possible. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide

Reversing Video (and video out)

I need to do a rear projection setup but my older Epson projector does not have a reverse video setting (that I can find). Does anyone know of a setting or some shareware that can reverse or flip the screen image and have that altered output go through my laptop's DVI port?

Found the advanced settings on the projector. Never mind.

MPEG2 Video is not smooth in Quicktime Pro Player

I have a MBP with Core2 2.4Ghz (2GB RAM, 250GB SATA HDD).
I have a bunch of mpeg2 files downloaded from my Canon HV20 HiDef camcorder. When I play the files with Quicktime Pro with MPEG2 Component, the video looks very very jerky. The CPU usage is not too bad, all other applications behave OK.
On the other hand, if I use VLC to play the same file, the video is lot smoother. CPU usage is roughly the same.
FYI, the video is 1080i.
Can someone suggest some solution? My problem is, I want to watch these videos from Frontrow and VLC is not a solution.
The video plays fine in Windows XP, Vista and even in Linux in any player I tried so far.
This is really killing me, any solution is appreciated. I definitely do not want to go back to Windows for my media.

Quicktime does play DVDs OK. Its not as smooth as VLC, but very acceptable.
However, my MPEG2 video files are Hi-definition files from Hi-definition camcorder. These are 1080i (1920x1080 interlaced) files.
These files play perfectly smoothly on the same Mac when I use VLC player.
When I use Quicktime player, they are very jerky. Its hard to quantify how jerky it is, but just a naked eye guess would be 2 frames out of 5 are vanishing. Sound is smooth though, no hiccups in sound.
I hope that describes my problem better.

LCD display in reverse video, B&W, can't seem to reset

The LCD display on our PowerBook G4 kicks into reverse video, black & white, after a normal boot where we see regular colors, including the desktop for a moment. We have walked through all the possible display settings and can't find anyplace where we could accidentally put our settings to reverse video.
The fact that we can see normal colors until the end of the boot would indicate that nothing is physically wrong with our LCD panel.

Hi, Gaydpdx. Press the following key combination: Command-Option-Control-8.
Someone has inadvertently typed that key combination on your computer, invoking one of the display settings for visually-impaired users that are found in the Seeing tab of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences.

How do I get u-tube videos to run smoothly. They stop and start and jump.

Sounds like they are buffering because your internet speed is way to slow.
To check your internet speed, go to: > Speakeasy Speed Test
or > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Plus you can also check your internet speed using the Activity Monitor, which is in your Utilities Folder.

Determining Video Pixel Size from Still Pixel Sizes

Hello
I posted a few questions here in regard to establshing good Pixel Sizes in stills for use in FCE.
Tom, and Studio X were very helpful, and I picked up a few pointers.
One thing I still didn't grasp completley was how to determine (perhaps from a simple formula), what the Video Pixel Size would be from a photo's pixel size.
As Tom pointed out:
"A 2400x3000 pixel image may be perfectly adequate and not produce as many imaging problems when scaled in a video application"
And as I discovered in regard to print size:
"An 8" x 10" document that is scanned at 300 dpi has the pixel dimensions of 2,400 pixels (8" x 300 dpi) by 3,000 pixels (10" x 300 dpi).
So then all this being said, is there a way to easily determine what the Video Pixel Size will be from the given Pixel dimensions of a still image?
(Like from a re-sized Tiff in Photoshop)
My version of Photoshop doesn't seem to have that conversion option for determining NTSC Video image quality.
Thanx
Mike

And if I need to zoom in really tight to a small area in a particular still, I should allow myself an image size a bit larger than 1280x720. Correct?< </div>
If only it was that easy. The video screen is roughly 800 by 500 pixels. That's all there are. If you bring in a 1600x1000 JPEG (might want to try TIFF instead) and you wish to see the whole image, it will be scaled down to 25% to fit onto the small screen and all of your pixels will be thrown away or mashed together. It's terribly inefficient and the image gets mushily softened.
If you need to zoom in to a particular spot on the image, imagine that spot as filling the 800x500 pixel screen. You can use a simple ruler and measure the area you wish to be full screen (without any scaling being applied by FCP because that will destroy your image). Now measure the largest part of the image that you want to be on screen at any one time when zoomed all the way out. The ratio of those two numbers is what you will need to scan. Example (highly simplified don't try to argue about the precision) if your big image is 10x8 inches and your desired tight shot is 4x3 inches, you must provide a TIFF that is 2.5 or 2.75 times the size of the tightest area. That tight area is going to be 800x500 pixels. You will scan the 10x8 image to obtain a TIFF that is almost 2.5 times 800 pixels wide or 2000 pixels, by 2.5 times 500 pixels high or 1250 pixels. Do not bother to convert that into DPI. You are targeting an image size measured in pixels. It's got nothing to do with the size of the original image or the DPI. Repeating: Absolutely nothing.
This will give you an image into which you can zoom and suffer no image degradation. It will also give you a tremendous processing hit. FCP just doesn't like to do that kind of scaling.
Umm, doesn't look like I helped much. This issue is highly misunderstood and it's quite confusing if you come from a Photoshop background. giving up concepts like DPI is almost impossible. The only way to get it is to work through the many options Photoshop and video people offer up and try to figure out why some of them don't work for you.

Batch convert to video pixels

Is there an easy way to convert a bunch of JPEG files from square pixels to video pixels?
I need to convert 2000 images so they don't look distorted when rendered as a video animation. (I'm using the ImageFlow plugins to animate in Final Cut Express.)
I know how to do this by opening a file in Photoshop CS2 and changing the pixels, but I don't have time to do that individually for 2000 files. I was hoping there was a (relatively) easy way that a Bear of Very Little Brain could manage…

CS2 has batch processing capability. If necessary, you could couple batch processing with a recorded Action of you resetting the pixel aspect ratio. Couldn't you?
ps. Lynda.com has a whole series of tutorials on this.

Accordion with horizontal pixel shift

Aside from irregularities with IE yet to be solved, the
accordion I've created for a page appears exactly as desired
locally, but on the remote server there is a horizontal pixel shift
to the left for the entire accordion list. This shift is
accompanied by fine lines at the left and bottom borders.

I have problem in FCP while playback in Sony TV, it only shows freedge frame, Video can play smoothly in FCP but in TV it shows only Freedge frame.

i have problem in FCP while playback in Sony TV, it only shows freedge frame, Video can play smoothly in FCP but in TV it shows only Freedge frame.

Come on gents and gentesses...... I'm really sweating on this one. Can't properly display my combined audio and pic when showing the Timeline contents of FCP in the MacPr's TV monitor Only the pic is appearing without any proper sound, as reported above. Just a mono row.
Does nobody have any idea on the problem or am I too far up to date with the MacPro and FCP 5.1.4 for even Apple to let me in on the way to rectilfy. Bloomin' upgrades...... !

5900XT Pixel Shifting

Hello,
About a month ago I started having problems with my 5900XT. While running HL2 or CS:Source my computer came to a grinding halt, flashing me a blue screen, and kicking me out of each program (this happened with both). It took several trys to reboot, but once I got XP up and running and returned to the desktop, the pixles of the text for my icons were shifting as well as the pixels in my desktop. Rebooting did not fix the problem, until several reboots later. Now, the pixels shift, but not consisitantly. I can run okay for 5 days out of the week. Two days I will have pixel problems.
Two things came to mind as possible causes - either my LCD monitor, or the videocard. I have tried another monitor , as well as update the latest drivers/software for the LCD, and still encountered the pixle shifting problem. I have also upgraded to the latest version of the NVIDIA videocard drivers (66.93) (making sure to uninstall the previous drivers before putting in the new ones).
I also know that HL2 has known problems with NVIDIA cards and have the latest versions of HL2. But even if HL2 is the problem, my computer is still "pixel shifting" on me on start up in windows.
I have found that if I reboot, it will fix the problem 50% of the time. I have also found that if i shut my monitor off, and turn it back on, or if I change from 1280X1024 @ 60 hz (the monitors native resolution) to a lower resolution, and then back up, the shifting goes away.
Next course of action: update the videocard firmware? Flash BIOS? Change out NVIDIA drivers for MSI drivers?
Does anybody have any ideas?

I think the first thing I would do is list the corresponding amperages for the +12v, +5v, & +3.3v lines found on the sticker of the power supply.
Some of the newer sonata cases have a better power supply than the ones that previously shipped. The newer ones I believe have 20+ amps on the 12v rail, then you should be OK. I've seen even the weaker ones running systems similar to yours but I don't recommend it.
How long was it running OK before it happened?
I am not sure exactly what you mean about pixel shifting. Quote

A screen shot might be helpful.
BIOS updates aren't going to help here.
Sounds like something failed or blew...

My next step (cheapest) would be to remove the card and closely inspect it for any burn marks or anything that looks suspicious, the same goes for the motherboard, then if all looks good, try the card in another PC capable of running it and see if the problem can be duplicated. If the problem follows the card, then it is likely the card. If not, then there is something wrong with your board and/or related peripherals & power.
