Extremely poor Xbox One Video Quality

Having problems with Skype video quality from the Xbox, extremely grainy video while the Audio is just fine. I purchased the Xbox as a replacement for facetime.
At my home we have a 120mb comcast business line. Speed tests show 80-90 dl, 30 up. At the office I have a iphone5s that using wireless, 50mb centurylink. Facetime is crystal clear between the two locations. It is only Skyping with the Xbox One the quality is disgusting, not sure what the cause may be. I assumed Skype with the Xbox One could do HD video, did I purchase this in error.
Anyone else having similiar issues, or solutions?

Thanks for your feedback. We are tracking a similar (if not the same) issue on this forum post. We have been in contact with some users and are continuing to investigate the problem.

IPhone 6 Plus video quality is extremely poor when on Facetime and when sharing via text/message

I upgraded to the 6 plus from the 4S. Everyone that I facetime with and send videos to via text/message tells me how incredibly horrible the video quality is....especially in comparison to the way it was before I upgraded from the 4S to the 6Plus. These are people that I have always sent videos to and Facetimed with before, and they all say they can really tell a difference. So frustrating that my three year old iphone 4S is better than the new 6 plus 128gig that I just paid $500 for. We have little ones at home and this is one of the main things we use the phone for....to send vidoes and to Facetime with grandma and grandpa.
I'm on the same carrier (Verizon) that I have always been and have not changed anything. Is there a setting on the phone I can change that will help with this? I love the phone otherwise, but if it can't do this right, I'm going to return it and get my money back.
Can anyone help? Anyone experiencing this???
Thank you.

I have the same issue!! Why isn't there any answers to this problem? I became the laughing stock who owns a $1000 iPhone that can't share videos with family and friends. Please help!!!

Why is playback video quality not as good as the source?

Hi. I'm not new to PrE but am new to the forum.
I've been using PrE 2 for about 7 years. I got a newer computer running Windows 7 and basically was forced to upgrade to PrE 12 because PrE 2 didn't run very well on the newer machine. Once I installed PrE 12, I was eager to jump into my first project on this machine.
I expected that with a newer machine and the latest software, I would get outstanding results--hopefully much better than what I always got with PrE 2 on the old machine. With PrE 2, it was not uncommon that the imported video seemed lossy on playback or for whatever other reason seemed not as good as the source video.
Unfortunately, the results on the new/new were no better than the old/old. So I switched to my wife's (even newer) machine running Windows 8 and got the same results. Then I thought that perhaps the output to DVD would be better than what I saw in the PrE editor. No dice.
The video quality of the source isn't the greatest (see below), but I expected that the PrE 12 would be no worse.
What went wrong?
Here's what i'm working with on the current project:
Machine 1:
HP EliteBook 8560w
Intel Core i7-2640M 2.8 GHz CPU
Window 7 Enterprise SP1
2 GB RAM
360 GB available HD space
Machine 2:
Dell Inspiron 3521
Intel Pentium 2117U 1.8 GHz CPU
Windows 8 Touchscreen
4 GB RAM
400+ GB available HD space
Video Source:
iPhone 4 video (MOV format)
Thanks for ANY help you can give me.
BTW, I noticed that Steve Grisetti is one of the frequent commenters on this forum. In case you're reading this, Steve, I want to thank you and Chuck E. for your PrE books. I purchased one several years ago and found it extremely helpful. And surprisingly, I found that with PrE 12 I could still use the book that I purchased before because most of it was still relevant to the new software. Still a great purchase!!

Please excuse if I mention things you may already be aware of, but I did not want to take anything for granted.
The installed RAM on Machine 1 is too low for HD work, and I wonder about the processor on Machine 2 even though it has more installed RAM than that on Machine 1. For now, I will bypass the usual drills and get to the source media and project settings.
1. From what I can put together, your source media from iPhone 4 are 720p up to 30 frames per second. That usually translates into a variable frame rate which can be problematic for Premiere Elements. The variable can lead to audio out of sync, but not necessarily. If all else fails, then it is onto HandBrake or the like to change the variable into a constant frame rate.
2. One of the features of version 11 and 12 is the program taking over the setting of the project setting based on the properties of the first video drag to the Timeline. Some times it does it OK, sometimes not. When not, then you set the project preset manually yourself based on what you know to be the properties of your source media. Please refer to the following which includes how to set the project preset manually.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
Based on what I have read about the properties of the iPhone 4 video, I would suggest the project preset (assuming a NTSC set up)
NTSC
AVCHD
AVCHD-LITE 720p30
One of the important things to remember is that Premiere Elements 11 and 12 have as their default project preset
NTSC
AVCHD
Full HD1080i30
and not the NTSC DV Standard of versions earlier than 11.
When 11 and 12 do not get the automatic project preset correct, they do not give you the closest fit, rather they give you their
default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 which is not going to be appropriate for 720p video.
Classically it is written if you have the correct project preset you should have no colored line over the content when you bring the video to
the Timeline manually set. But, just the variable frame rate can trigger the unrendered indicator (orange instead of red in versions 11 and 12).
So, rendering the Timeline would be indicated to get the best possible preview under these circumstances.
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on either of your computers?
More later.

URGENT - Screen Capture Video Quality

Hi,
I need to create a movie for a client that shows the computer system that was developed for them. The system is a web application and is accessed using Internet Explorer. I need to be able to put the movie onto a dvd for viewing at various client locations.
I created a number of screen capture videos using Snagit 9 showing the user experience in Internet Explorer. I took these with my screen resolution at 1440x900 and, when I put them into my Premiere Elements project that is setup as a NTSC DV format, the video quality is unreadable. I have tried to use several tools to compress the video to a size that is lower than the 720x480 resolution of my NTSC DV format Premiere project and the files themselves look great when I view them using Windows Media player. However, when I add the files to Adobe Premiere they become extremely blurry regardless of whether I've scaled the video or not. I have tried different aspect ratios in the Interpret Footage and have even removed the scale to frame option.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this problem? I need to have this video completed for tomorrow evening and am stuck with the illegible screen capture videos. Please help.
Thanks,
Scot

Burn your project to DVD (or first to a folder then onto DVD) and see how it looks on a standalone DVD player. It may be a problem with your screen resolutions v native resolutions, or a lack of preview rendering (is there a red line above your timeline - if so press enter).
On top of this you have the absolute problem that your are asking PRE to reduce from a 1440 x 900 screen resolution to a 720x480 DVD format. How well it does this you'll really only see by burning a DVD - but if it doesn't look good enough you might consider using a 800 x 600 screen resolution to record your screen captures and reduce the amount of downscaling PRE does.
Which Snagit Export format did you use to import to PRE? What other export formats are available?
Cheers,
Neale

Video quality is questionable

I've recently reinstalled windows on a new hard drive as well as reinstalled Itunes and imported my libraries from my secondary drive. The video quality in ALL of my videos seems a bit questionable. It's a darker hue (maybe a bit of blue) and not as sharp as I remembered it. I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and graphics drivers trying to correct it but no help.
Other media files (like AV for Windows Media) look fine. Is there a setting in windows I need to change so I can see my videos in the picture quality I remember? Is there anything I can at least use to adjust the contrast?

Bad video quality over WiFi?

iChat seems to be trying to out-think me by lowering iChat video quality when it's on WiFi, but using great video when I'm on ethernet. This seems silly, since I have great WiFi connectivity, but I can't seem to disable the behavior. Does anyone know how to disable iChat's WiFi preferences?
More details:
I'm on an 802.11g WiFi network through an AEBS with "full bars" and the quality looks terrible over Bonjour to someone else on the LAN (wired or wireless). As soon as I disable AirPort and plug in to wired Ethernet, making no other changes other than restarting iChat, the quality looks fantastic.
My WiFi speed is always in the tens of megabits per second, with ping latencies below 1ms to the other clients, so it should be plenty fast.
Ideas?

I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality. Now if I can just get it all working again following the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.1.
FYI: I have even used iChat AV on Tiger using DUN on my Treo650 (Sprint), which worked fine as well.

Bad video quality on Atom over Internet, but not o...

I have an Asus netbook with a 1.66GHz Atom, 1GB DDR3, and XP. The video quality when in a call over the Internet is almost always bad, and Skype complains the computer is "slow". There is no virus scanner or any other garbage running that sucks up resources. I keep it lean.
So I tried using a different computer to make the call; an 8 year old Sempron laptop, also with XP and 2.2GHz or close to that. Video quality is great. So it's obviously a computer performance issue, right?
It gets stranger. I set up a video call between these two computers over my LAN (i.e. within the same house). Video quality is great on both.
The results have been similar over a span of a year or more, calling people in different parts of the country, and even dropping Wifi and using a cable.
So what causes Skype to think the computer is slow when video calling over the Internet, but not when calling another computer on the same LAN? I have a theory, but I'll hold that thought for right now.

Importing from Sony DV into iMovie & getting Darker video image

Importing from Sony DV (Video quality looks great on video LCD screen) into iMovie & getting Darker video image. After I import into iMovie the video image is darker, making in harder to edit. I appreciate any help with understanding how I can improve the video quality when importing.
Thank you

Welcome to discussions!
You may just need to adjust your monitor.

Last-minute help! Video quality drops after burn

I'm exporting a video out of FCP using Compressor, saving directly to the DVD format for burning inside DVD Studio Pro. When I preview the video inside DSP, it looks amazing. After I finish burning the disc and view it in DVD Player, the video quality looks horrible.
See a screenshot here:
http://www.door62.com/temp/DVD-quality.jpg
The one on the left is DVD Player, the one on the right is the preview inside DSP.
Any advice? This is actually ridiculously last-minute... Any help would be hugely appreciated

I have been having simliar trouble, esp. with textured backgrounds in the video.
Specifically, someone sitting in a board room delivering a short message (2 minutes) on camera. The background is a textured wood panel with a continuously changing color gradient.
I encode in Compressor, NTSC lower field, 2-pass VBR, 6.1 Mbps avg., 7.2 Mbps max., AIF audio. I have also tried a number of bit rate variations including CBR and AC3 audio.
I drop the clip in a DVDSP track and it looks fine in simulator. Also open the m2v in QT Pro, it looks fine.
After building, I check the TS_Folder in Apple DVD Player, and the background pulses, shifting from light to dark and is filled with artifacts. It looks even worse on a set-top player.
I have had problems like this a number of times, and end up having to use other programs on Windows to get around it. Kind of a pain.
Has anyone else seen anything like this?
G5 Dual 2.3 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2.5 GB RAM, ROM v5.2.4f1

Keynote Video Quality Deteriorates when exported to IMovie

How does one export a keynote presentation to IMovie without losing the video quality? It is extremely blurry after export. Or how does one "clean up" the quality, after it becomes blurry?

Is that the only way to transfer keynote animated videos to imovie? Use something else besides IMovie??? I thought the new apple program was supposed to be able to do these "basic" kinds of things really well, in a user friendly way.
How do I get Final Cut, and will I be able to use it as a neophyte?

Compressor 4.0.3, Dark Video

Compressor 4.0.3, Dark Video; now any video I load into Compressor appears too dark in the Preview window and compresses too dark. QuickTime, FCPX, Motion, (and Avid) all play these files fine, but in Compressor, too dark.
Not a simple 1.8 vs 2.2 Gamma issue. All codecs and color profiles are dark, tested on 2 MacPros w/different monitors. Videos that I compressed a week and a half ago (PR422 files to h264) were fine, but now those same source videos (PR422) are dark in Compressor (only). Again, ANY video that I load into Compressor is extremely dark. I've tested this on two different Macs. I can't be the only one experiencing this... Help?

Using Compressor 4.0.3, I submitteda job from a ProRes Quicktime file. I have added a Timecode filter and Text Overlay filter (which you can see) and this is a screenshot of the Preview window.
After the h.264 compression, I get this result in Quicktime:
This shot is a little underexposed anyway, but you can see that the Preview image is noticeably darker than the resulting Quicktime image.
BTW, in Quicktime 7 I have the Preference "Enable Final Cut Studio Compatibilty" checked. If I uncheck it, the resulting image becomes even lighter - as seen here:
Finally, when viewing in Quicktime Player, it appears similar to the non-FCP-Compatibility enabled version of QT7 - seen here:

IChat Video Quality Low - Stumped

Hi all,
The basics of my problem is my Ichat video quality is very low.
I have a 10mb connection and im in Tennessee, USA, the person im trying to reach has a 8mb connection and is in California, USA.
When I chat with this person my connection doctor always says im getting a 150 to 300 bit rate. The video quality seems very low to me. Which I would think is super low for such a fast connection between our computers. It never goes above 300.
I've read over many posts here on the forum and we have done the Set Quicktime to 1.5mb & Set my Ichat Video Prefs Limit to "None" and restarted, on both ends. Still limits at 300.
I've also checked the connection speeds on both ends, via pings to various places around the net & across the country and hold down a decent to good 3.5 to 8.5mbs connection.
A little system info:
My Side:
- G5 Dual 2.5GHZ
- Isight (external Camera via Firewire port)
- Airport Wireless Card
- Airport Extreme (with DHCP on to route my multi machines wirelessly on the network)
- Cable Modem - Plugs into Airport - up to 10mbs connection
- iChat 3
- OS X 10.4.8
Other side:
- Intel Imac (brand new)
- Isight (built in)
- Cable Modem direct - up to 8mbs connection
- iChat 3
- OS X 10.4.8
It seems like there is something im overlooking.
Please help as im a bit stumped on this one! :P
- Guru Kismet

I have 3 machines on the Airport network (though none of the others where being used during the testing).
I connected my Cable modem directly to my G5 via Ethernet my speeds jumped! Then I discovered it was being caused by my Airport Extreme. Which loves to knock me off the network from time to time.
In my Airport Extreme "wireless options" I changed the Multicast Rate and then clicked on "Enable interference robustness" my chat speeds jumped from 200k to 800k+. The quality of my video improved dramatically.
After further testing with just one machine and then later restoring all machines back on the Airport Network, I found that there was some sort of interference from other wireless devices around the house, even the ones downstairs.
I would suggest this for anyone having trouble with your Airport Extreme knocking you off the internet or network from time to time or if your Ichat speeds & quality are really low.
Problem solved!
Best wishes to all,
Guru Kismet

ZEN (Video Quality)

ZEN (Video Quality)? hello
a while back i stated how crappy videos looked after the conversion to .avi
doesnt seem to matter where the video came from, either a straight up rip from DVD or videos from youtube.
they all looked very pixeled, especially during night/dark scenes.
i?wanted my videos to look like the preloaded videos that came with the ZEN when you first buy it.
thoses videos look amazing! crystal clear!? even during dark scenes.
i've tried all kinds of programs/free trails! spend many days/nights... NOTHING!
why does?Creative?give you these beautiful videos, yet theres no way to?replicate that?
the software that comes with the ZEN, horrific!
everyone says the ZEN doesnt have enough power, the LCD cant produce good blacks.... blah blah blah
it can!!!
i downloaded some movie trailers from a website (hd-trailers.net), converted using BADAK, and WOW!? crystal clear! beatiful!
dark scenes look fantastic!
so i guess the problem is the source, convert HD to avi to ZEN, great results!? DVD to avi to ZEN, not so great. (vhs quality)
does anyone know why? Creative?

The video quality of the Zen is fine. The hardware is fully capable of a high quality 24-bit 320x240 30fps 44.k Hz stereo clips (although 5fps looks just about as good). The quality and configurability of the bundled video conversion application is the object at issue. The solution is to use something else that is both faster and more capable.
The fact a highly capable video encoder is freely available as open source software (MEncoder, which is part of the MPlayer package) leaves little reason to use the Creative software for this task if you want decent conversions. For people intimidated by command line tools there is BADAK (a gui front end for MEncoder). When you select options in BADAK it even shows you the real command it will be issuing to MEncoder. However, since BADAK doesn't expose everything possible, if you really want control over the conversion you'll have to learn to use MEncoder (at least once to set up a batch command that uses your preferred settings) or some other tool.
There is nothing intrinsically better about a HD movie clip. If you have a similarly "clean" SD clip it should convert just as well. The issue here is that the HD clip is simply better source material than the video from a DVD or "captured" YouTube video (which brings up certain ethical concerns).
DVDs and YouTube videos have already gone through at least one pass of lossy compression. Noise and artifacts have already been introduced. Compressing them another time will only aggravate the situation. For that matter, if the artifacts are bad enough at the beginning the encoder may fully decide they are "significant detail elements" and try its best to preserve them in all their glory. Overly aggressi've compression will only make a bad situation worse. Areas that developed blockiness the first time around will probably be extended further. Camera pans over areas that developed banding will help make them jump out. All these problems come from making unwise compression choices for the source material. Even so, most middle-road compression settings are fine if you're watching the video at a reasonable distance from your eyes. If you're holding the player inches away then, sure, you're going to see them. The only way not to see them is to make them not exist.
The Zen screen resolution is approx half the size of a standard SD video frame. If you convert a DVD file to AVI where you ONLY perform the requisite scaling to 320x240 it should look nearly identical to the DVD. It will also be a very large file. That is the relationship: high quality = huge file, low quality = smaller file with artifacts. That isn't a uni'versal truth but does cover 95%+ of pragmatic reality.
Adapti've encoding tries to be "smart" and use extra encoding bits where they are needed most (in detail scenes) and skimp in places they are not (dark scenes where you can hardly see things anyways and areas of pretty uniform color). It is more complicated than that but that is good enough for this discussion. If the encoder strips too many bits from dark scenes on a somewhat "noisy" background it will collapse things too far and you'll get harsh banding. The OP is mostly complaining about harsh banding.
The solution is to prevent the encoder from overly compressing these areas. The simplest way to do that is to use adapti've algorithms but tell it you don't care so much if the file gets bigger. If you still see problems you may have to tell it to use an adapti've algorithm with at least a specified bit rate. If that doesn't really catch it you may have to tell it to use a constant bit rate (which could negati'vely impact scenes that really could use more encoding bits for details). And if that doesn't work you may actually have to tell it specifically what it should do for specified frames of the video. That last is basically a very intrusi've "use human guidance" approach. But if the quality matters that much it is sometimes necessary. That kind of attention is usually reserved for "masters" (like the original master for that DVD you started with).
What you won't find is a single button push, one-size-fits-all conversion that consistently produces ideal results regardless of input. It takes some work and often trial-and-error attempts to find what works best. If you think you're willing to put in that effort them look up the MEncoder documentation (it is available as HTML on the internet) and be amazed by the sheer number of parameters and parameter values it supports. None of them are fluff. They all serve a purpose in real-world situations. Coming up with the proper combination for a given source is the fun part.
Believe it or not, I actually tried to keep this relati'vely brief and avoid excessi've jargon. It's at least my third attempt at a cogent response that probably wouldn't make the reader get defensi've. We'll see how it goes.

Video quality on macbook with retina

I am curious what current owners think of the video quality on the MacBook Pro with Retina. How does it look compared with video quality on a non-Retina laptop? Curious about:
1. Netflix quality
2. YouTube and other websites
3. iTunes downloads and other downloaded media.
I've heard some say that they need a higher bitrate to experience the same quality of video, subjectively. You'd be unlikely to find 1800p video from these sources (for maxing out the Retina resolution). I'd be concerned if blowing up lower-quality video (like 720p DVD quality) looks bad, because that's what you're most likely to view in 2012. Curious what your experience has been.

Maybe I should make my question clearer: I have read many reports of non-Retina apps looking worse on the rMBP screen, due to the pixel doubling+interpolation that the Retina does for these apps. My question is specifically whether this same issue could make video look worse on the rMBP than on a normal MBP laptop.
For example, does 720p video look blurrier on a rMBP screen than 720p video on a non-rMBP screen?
The issue is well known for apps, for example in Chrome until recently as shown here: http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/31/google-chrome-21-stable-release-adds-retina-m acbook-pro-support/.
My impression is this could also happen with video, and the problem is that "Retina-ready" video is not really available since it would have to be an extreme resolution.
