Some 1080p movies upscaled from lower resolutions?

I purchased the 1080p HD version of The Right Stuff. When watching it at full screen size on an 1080p display, either on my old 21.5" iMac or my new Windows 7 PC with an 1080p display, I can clearly see jagged edges in any scene with sharp details. It looks like they are selling a lower resolution copy of the movie poorly upscaled to 1080p.
Here's a crop of a screenshot:
Compare with Das Boot, also a 1080p HD movie:

Not yet. I'm checking the iTunes store occasionally. Last time I checked, the 1080p HD movie size was shown as 7.17GB. But checking this now, I see a different size in iTunes 10.7 and 11! iTunes 10.7 still shows the movie size to be 7.17GB but in iTunes 11 it is 7.70GB, about 600MB larger! I'm not sure why the iTunes store shows different sizes when viewed in two different versions of iTunes. I'll wait for both to show the same size before buying it again.

Velocity measurement from low resolution encoders

Hi, I have 1024 pulse/1rotation encoders. I want to calculate or estimate angular velocity from this low resolution encoders. When I use dx/dt(derivative.vi) there are high and low readings which obviously seem wrong to me.I want to have a more smooth and accurate reading(and without much delay). Is there an efficient and accurate way of reading velocity measurements from this low resolution encoders? FOr example does Ni/Motion help? Or is there a velocity measurement .vi ?
Thank you.

As far as I remember (*) , the FP-QUAD will measure the velocity by counts during a fixed time slot. The maximum time is (was?) 26.??ms.
Your resolver has 1024 pulses (I assume 2 pulse streams with 90° shift) , the QUAD will count pulse edges, so you get 4096 counts per revolution. Together with the integration time (26.??ms), you get a resolution of 38.15 counts/s (See manual of the FP-QUAD) or an error of +/- 0.559 RPM
Of course you can read the 32bit counter of the QUAD in a user defined time periode and calculate the velocity.
If you have real slow movements, you can measure the time between each pulse. The accuracy will depend on the quality of your resolver and the resolution of your timer, however I think this couldn't be done with the FP-QUAD.
* My last task with FP-QUAD was 4 years ago, maybe new firmware and driver give you more choices now

Force 1080p Movie Downloads from iTunes Store

Hi everyone, my first post here.
I know that you can change preferences for HD movies between 720 and 1080p in iTunes settings, and mine is set to 1080p. When I am about to download a movie I can see on the movie page that it says "Available in 720p and 1080p, downloading 1080p", and then it displays the size in GB of the 1080p file.
HOWEVER, my concern is that when attempting to download a movie in 1080p with a device with a sub-1080p resolution (which includes every macbook except the Retina I believe) iTunes will automatically decide for you that the movie is larger than your screen and so it will download the 720p version. I have verified this by checking the resolution of the finished download, and also the size of the movie is ~1-2 GB (depends on the movie) smaller than the labeled 1080p size on iTunes store.
I borrowed a 1080p monitor and tried again, and I was able to get a full 1080 download. I am positive that my settings are right, and that the movie in question is available in both resolutions. (I have tested this with many movies actually).
So, yes it's true that my MBA screen resolution cannot handle 1080p movies, but my iPad can and so can my Apple TV so I don't think this arbitraty restriction is warranted. Anyone know of a way around this? I will not be buying movies from the iTunes store anymore if they are forced to 720p instead of 1080p resolution because of my Macbook Air. You pay the same amount of money for either resolution but one is significantly better and I am not able to download it (not trying to discuss whether 1080 is actually better than 720, with my TV setup it is).
Worth mentioning: The above issues have been with RENTED movies only, I have not tried downloading a full length movie because I'm not about to spend $15 instead of $4 just to have this issue again.
Try this yourselves!!! Many of you have probably had this same problem for ages but not even realized it. This should make you angry! Would also be interested if the problem persists for purchased movies, if anyone has tested this.

Same issue. I've been buying TV shows and movies on iTunes for a long time and copying them to my iPhone to watch on my TV. A few days ago, I tried to move a rented movie to my iPhone the same way I always did, click the "move" button next to the movie under the movies tab for the iPhone in iTunes when iPhone was connected and then click "apply". It would do a quick sync without copying anything.
I thought I had a bum file, so I e-mailed Apple support and they reset the purchase so that I could redownload, which I'm doing now.
But my recently downloaded episodes of Lost will also not copy to my iPhone. AND they will not even play on my iMac. When I try to play them, it shows only a grey screen with a progress bar. TV shows and movies purchased and downloaded weeks or months ago still play fine.
No changes have been made to my system. After the rented movie didn't play and copy, I did a update check and downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPhone firmware. That didn't fix it. I have the newest versions of the Quicktime and iTunes. The computer is authorized for these purchases. The iPhone is authorized.
I've looked at similar threads and have not found a solution. I'm stumped. If anyone has a solution let me know.

From Low Resolution Recording to High Resolution SVCD or DVD

I am wondering, if I record from a VHS tape at the lowest resolution onto my hard drive, then use WinProducer/Wincoder 2.0 (bundled together now) to convert it to a higher DVD quality resolution and burn it to a CD, will the quality be at least near what it would have been had I have recorded it as a high resolution file to begin with?
I thank any responses in advance.

hplsbyufan
The point of recording in low resolution is that it takes less data than high resolution. So if you save something in low resolution you have lost the extra data that was needed to describe the images in more detail.
By way of analogy, if I describe the plot of a film I have just seen (low resolution) you cannot use that description to retrieve the detail of each scene (high resolution).
So, unfortunately you cannot get a higher resolution than that in which you originally recorded it.
Sorry

Exporting a movie in a lower resolution

Hi there,
I have made some demonstration movies of one of our business
applications. This movie has been made for different countries in a
resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels.
A Spanish colleague mentioned that this resolution was too
high and that they still use 1024 x 768 as common resolution over
there. So i am now required to deliver the same recorded movie in a
1024 x 768.
Is there any functionality in Captivate 3 for this?
Only thing i could think of is export the movice as a SWF
file and then create a separate new HTML file which contains the
SWF movie and make the window resizable...
Any other options that i could use for this?
Thanks in advance!

You can edit the html to define the movie size you want. Open
up the
generated html in notepat. Look for the Width and Height
values (there's 4
of each) and edit them to whatever you want.

Movies play in low resolution ... ?

Just got the ATV2, and set it up. Movies stored in iTunes on the iMac upstairs were listed and played just fine, but noticed that the resolution of the movie itself was very low. I started off playing some of the Pixar animation movies and saw noticeable compression in the graphics, color was off, etc. Even the kids asked, "why is the movie so fuzzy?" Almost as if the quality of the movie was significantly downgraded to optimize streaming over Wi-Fi.
Anyone else experience this?

Just received ATV2 and rented The Spy Next Door (in HD). I have to say I was very disappointed to see quite a few artifacts and excessive graininess. My LCD is full 1080p and relatively new so I know it ain't the TV. (I know the ATV2 is 720p). I have 8Mbit DSL - a quick sniff indicated movie was streaming at about 3Mbs - so not a b/w issue and indeed if I paused the movies I could see the buffered stream was quite far ahead compared where I was in the movie (if you get me).
Curiously when I previewed whats on In The Theaters - the promos were free of any noise / artifacts.
Hope this issue related to that particular rented title only. If other titles suffer same then ATV2 is going back.

Can you download 1080p movies straight from new iPad?

At the moment when I try to download it only gives an option to download SD or HD - and if you choose HD it will only download the 720p version.
Is there a way to make it download 1080p only like you can specify in the itunes store on the mac?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can select them all and download them at once but you can select by artist or album, which saves quite a bit of time. Once downloaded, they will stay on your device.

Upsizing project from lower resolution

Sorry if I'm a little blunt but I'm in a bit of a panic and have to get this video ready for a university project
on Tuesday and I can't find anything that helps elsewhere.
My problem is that somewhere along the way, my project has been saved as 720x576 when it started
out as 1280x720 (the max that the uni projectors will take). I created a new sequence of the correct size
and took everything in to it. All of my images and video in the project were created with 1280x720 in mind
so general upsizing has meant that nothing has become pixelated.
However, four images have become cropped down the left and right sides, two of them weren't even up to
the edge of the frame in the smaller project (one is a nested loop in case that matters for that one).
Could anyone suggest anything to help me fix this please?
Using Premiere Pro CS4.

Yes, it's just that element in that particular screenshot.
Removing one of the images, turning Default Scale to Frame Size on, and then re-inserting worked
for one of the images but a second one wouldn't have it. I've had to re-build the nested sequences
(an awful job!) but in the upscaled sequence unfortunately, so now they're on top of everything else.
I'll look in to this more after this project is done because I can't afford to waste any more time
Thanks a lot though, your suggestions still helped and now I know what I need to learn more about!
EDIT: I've worked out what the problem is. I actually found the same issue with a few other elements
that were hidden under other layers and it turns out it's the crop effect to blame for my woes.

How can i get low resolution pictures to print

I just bought a office jet pro 8600 and got on hp e-print for the sole purpose of printing pictures off of my iphone and ipad. I just sent an e-mail to the printer and it only printed "sent from iphone." It says there is some technology preventing printing of low resolution images... usually from camera phones. Any ideas or help.
Thx

Hi DChip56,
Here are some printing tips for printing from your iPad and iPhone (particularly items in bold):
All photos e-mailed with HP ePrint will print at a default size of 4 x 6 inches (101.6 x 152.4 mm).
If your HP ePrint-enabled printer does not have a separate photo paper tray, just make sure that photo paper is the only paper loaded in the tray when printing photos.
Make sure your digital images have a high enough resolution, or dpi (dots per inch). Image files (like jpeg, bmp, tiff, etc.) need to be at least 100 dpi in order to print via HP ePrint.
Make sure your image attachments are smaller than the 5 MB (megabyte) limit.
If you send a photo that is less than 100 dpi, it will not be printed. Instead, you will see a message in your job history on the ePrintCenter that says “Failed”.
To print a photo or image that is less than 100 dpi, insert the image file into a Word document before e-mailing. Your image will be printed on paper from the main printer paper tray.
If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

Some QuickTime movies won't play after 10.4.4 upgrade

Hi,
I recently upgraded to 10.4.4 and now some QuickTime movies - mostly from Safari won't play any more. I do online training and none of those QuickTime movies will play. They load perpetually. They also work fine on my other machine (which I haven't upgrade from v10.4.3 yet)
According to System Profiler, I'm running QuickTime 7.0.0 - but I can't find 7.0.1 in the Apple downloads section. I'm not even sure if that will help.
Any ideas?

Most current version of QT is indeed 7.0.4, but Apple has removed that update and instead posted one that backs 7.0.4 back to 7.0.1.
Apple is now passively recommending against 7.0.4
One of the links that no longer works is any of VTC.com's training videos.

My address book and iPhone pics have become low resolution. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening when I start out with a higher resolution picture?

I guess I squeezed my entire issue into the subject line. lol When I sync my iphone to my laptop I notice that all my address book pics and iphone pics have become lower resolution, even though I started out with the resolution that I really needed to produce decenty address book printouts. I doubt I can correct the losses of resolution that have occurred but can anyone help me figure out how to prevent future losses? Thank you!

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they come up in camera roll as low resolution. How do I fix this?

I transferred some photos to my iphone via email and they have very low resolution. First I sent them from iPhoto with highest resolution, then I transferred them to my desktop in highest resolution and added them to an email, opened the email and saved to my Camera roll. They all look like low resolution photos.This is the exact method I have used to transfer photos in the past with my 4S and never had a problem. What am I doing wrong? Is this a bad camera? HELP please! Thank you!

My husband has the same phone, we purchased them at the same time. I sent him the same photos in the same email that I downloaded them from and on his phone they show up with the normal higher resolution. Is it possible that there is something wrong with my iPhone or is there a setting that can be changed? I'm still learning to use it. All my other photos are of normal resolution. Does this make any sense to anyone?
Please help!

Low On Space - How to Move Apps from phone to SD Card

Yes, I have a Pantech Breakout and I'm having a little problem with it, It shows under my Storage settings with Total Space stating 7.50GB, Available space 7.16GB and Internal space 42.19MB. Now when I go to my Storage settings under Application settings where All is highlighted is shows on bottom of phone Internal Storage 297MB used and 49MB free, when I select On SD Card it shows on bottom of phone 3.55MB used and 7.2GB free. My problem is this I recently downloaded an app right and after I downloaded the app I received a Message telling me this: Low on Space...Phone Storage is getting low please move applications from phone to SD card to secure enough space. Ok, I just don't know how to move applications from phone to SD card.
Thanks in advance :-)

Clear the cache. Menu > settings > Applications > manage applications > all tab > menu button > sort by size
Go through each application one by one and press the "clear cache" button.
Uninstall any application you don't need on the phone. Sorry the pre-installed applications can't be removed.
If an application has an option "move to SD card" you can press it to move the app to the SD card. Be aware that any application with a widget stored on the SD card will not be able to use the widget.
I would also check the size of your email application and if large, deleted any old emails from the trash. An easy way is to remove the email account, reboot the phone and then add the account back onto the phone.
Text messages are another storage hog. I would suggest getting a SMS backup or full text message (SMS & MMS) backup application to backup your messages. Then you can safely delete your messages and clear up some space.

Music from PC I loaded some CDs onto my PC and want to know if, and how, I can move them from my PC to my IPad2. Also, if I get them moved can u delete individual songs from those moved to IPad

I loaded some music CDs onto my PC. Can I move them from PC to my IPad 2? If so how? I loaded the CDs into ITunes on PC and when synced with IPad I saw them on the IPad, but once the PC was disconnected here seems to be no music on my IPad. How or canons move music ? Other than hat u purchase? can editing be done onIPad if music is moved there? IE deleting songs from list?

Do not look at the library on the left. You want to use the iTunes window on the right - after you select the iPad. This illustrates how to select the iPad. In this screenshot I marked it iPod but it works the same way for the iPad.
Click on the iPad's name on the left side of the iTunes window - under devices - in order to select your iPad.
Then click on the Music Tab in the window on the right side
Find the songs in the music section
Click on the boxes next to the songs - or click on the album or playlist that the songs are in
Make sure that the Sync Music heading is selected at the top of the tab
Click on Apply in the lower right corner.
You can read this as well for more help.

Can't move emails from one account to another, some accts greyed out.

I am using the iphone 4s and ios 6 I have two gmail accounts and one outlook exchange accout through work. I used to be able to move messages from 1st gmail to the second or even to the outlook exchange acct just fine. Now depending on which acct I am starting in, some of the other accts are greyed out and I can't click on them. What has happened and how can I fix this? I think this may have been in another thread but I didn't see anything specific or any fixes.
Thank You

I have similar problem here which problem began this morning. When attempting to move an image file to a folder (something I've done a kazillion times) an error message pops up:
The item "*.jpeg" could not be moved because "Raw Images" cannot be modified.
No amount of changing file permissions makes any difference. Redoing the image with PhotoShop doesn't help. Tried to move an image file I created years ago and get same message. Also changed permissions on destination folder - no effect.
I can however move the same recalcitrant file to a backup HD or a memory stick without problem. Can also move same file into iPhoto with no problem.
Ran Applejack utility - no difference.
Is this a virus or Trojan Horse of some kind??? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
