Unwanted visual artifacts with mastered DVD

My mastered DVD has unwanted visual artifacts resulting from a video recording of a dance recital that contained taped markings on a stage floor This visual disturbance does not appear with raw footage or compressed file but only with mastered DVD. Tried changing field order with each subsequent build but still get wavy lines that fluctuate. Any one dealt with similar situation before? Any suggestions?

We had the same issues with artifacts which appeared wavy, especially during fast movements. We read several forums and attempted different methods with no results to solve the issue. Finally, we discovered a solution!
We use Adobe Premiere CC and 6.
Recorded footage AVCHD 1080i
AVCHD 1080i30 (60i)
Make sure you have your footage in the correct editing sequence setting.
When exporting the auto settings appeared to compress the footage in interlace format which made artifacts on the screen on a progressive TV.
In Premiere Export in MPEG2 (Not MPEG2-DVD)
Select HDTV 1080p 29.97 High Quality (Or the format you recorded at but select P for progressive)
Export your video.
Afterwards import into Encore or your DVD authoring program.
Unfortunately, if your using Premiere with the dynamic link option to connect from Premiere to Encore there's a known bug that prevents from fixing this issue.
For an average dance recital the compressed file should be larger than the 4.7GB DVD size but once imported into Encore the program should allow the footage to fit onto the DVD. Otherwise, depending on your program you may need to change your export compressing settings to allow for the video to fit.

Visual artifacts with IMovie11 after moving to Lion

Hi, I have recently moved to Lion and created a new IMovie11 project, but now the project videos are complete with visual artifacts ( vertical lines ) they are also shown in the exported movie:
I haven't experienced this before as I did few movies with IMovie and it worked well.
The initial video is shot with Canon 5D Mark II at 1080p 25fps, the project is also set to 25 fps:

[SOLVED] rxvt-unicode 9.17 + tmux = visual artifacts on resize

Getting visual artifacts with the latest urxvt update.
Thinking possibly an upstream issue, but would like confirmation first.
Using dwm 6.0 with resizehints = False, if that matters.
Can anyone reproduce and/or recommend a fix?
Reproduce:
- Run tmux in rxvt-unicode 9.17-1
- Fill terminal with text, e.g. `ls -la`
- Resize window
Expected:
Actual:
Observation:
If affected window is placed behind another window (e.g. by changing tags in dwm, or by dragging another window over it), the artifacts disappear.
Edit: Solved
Temp fix:
Downgrading to rxvt-unicode 9.16.

I'm also encountering this issue after upgrading rxvt-unicode to 9.17. I'm using xmonad w/ an accordion layout so the instance of urxvt in which tmux is running is resized on focus resulting in the tmux status line not being removed from the position it was at prior to the resize. I can reproduce the problem while enlarging a floating urxvt+tmux window as well.
The problem doesn't exist after downgrading to rxvt-unicode 9.16.

Visual artifacts in old AIR projects running with beta 15

After installing the latest AIR runtime I am seeing a lot visual artifacts in older AIR apps that seem to be related to BitmapData.draw() in conjunction with a transformation matrix. It pretty much always happens when applying a rotation or skew and it also happens with certain offsets.
Here is an example created with Nodewerk (Nodewerk):
From left to right: original, skew, rotation, offset

I sent a similar report to non-labs forum. In my experiences these artifacts only appeared on Flash Builder's AIR simulator. Didn't see them on Android or iOS device.

Odd visual issues with Xorg

Hey all, recently, after restarting post-upgrade, X loads my DE (Gnome), but fails to display it correctly. There are also quite a few visual artifacts. I've been running Arch on it for months, and I saw nothing in the update that would have broken anything. And the only errors/warnings in my Xorg logs are regarding vesa, fbdev, a fonts directory and ACPI (See code below).
$ grep EE Xorg.1.log

A thumbnail of a screenshot is below. Should anyone require a higher resolution of the image, I will provide one on request. For the record, the mouse and some of the icons on the shell appear. The whole screen also flickers as if broken on mouse move.
All the best,

Connor, thank you for your reply. EXA is a no-go. If by RenderAccel, you mean AccelDFS, it's also a no-go (if not, I don't know what you're referring to). I am also not familiar with the Composite extension. As far as I'm aware neither the driver or the xorg server were in the update which preceded the issue.
As a final update, I managed to get GNOME into Fallback mode to see if that would help at all. Though it does display my background, which doesn't happen in standard mode anymore, the icons and shell are all still messed up. As I need my laptop to be in fairly functioning condition before Wednesday—and because I'm fairly sure this whole thing was due to a mistake I made somewhere along the way—I'm just going to do a clean install tonight.
Thanks for all the help as always folks. Have a good night!

[SOLVED] Artifacts with EXAPixmap ON and KMS with ATI OSS drivers

I had some problems for many months on my Arch Linux installation and I couldnt figure out what was causing it, so, because I found the sollution, I wanted to post it here and share it with you.
I, like others, was experiencing huge artifacts with KMS and EXAPixmaps on, on various cases, visuals and textures. After fiddling with all radeon options in xorg.conf and KMS on/off I found out thats its best for me to have KMS on (I couldnt play wine games otherwise) and EXAPixmaps off. But then again, when EXAPixmaps was off, I had poor 2D performance with KMS on, Xrender acceleration wasnt working and was falling back to software engine. Solution came from something that was brought to my attention in this topic. I ve set ARGB visuals off, raster engine for rendering and tried EXAPixmaps on.
It worked! Everything are as they supposed to be. Xrender engine and composite manager are finally working, no more artifacts. Framebuffer memory on my radeon card was somehow cleared. I then later found out an awkward solution on how to clear it by demand... Start X with vesa driver... then fix again xorg.conf back to radeon driver and reboot.
Now I have both 2D and 3D acceleration, I am logged in with KDE and have good performance. My glxgears output is 1000 to 1150 fps (vsync off) and I am using Xrender for the KDE desktop effects.
EDIT: I must clarify that I have an ATI Radeon 9200 Mobility M9+ (R200 serries)

I 've made some more edits and this is my current xorg.conf
http://pastebin.com/x6ubG80K
I have ColorTiling set on for performance, be careful as it may be resource hungry in 3D apps but it increases dramatically fps.
You can try setting off EXAPixmaps as well and see how it goes, but then you ll have poor 2D performance and yet videos will play just fine either way.

Visual artifacts in Captivate 6 .mp4 file

When I publish Captivate 6 simulations as .mp4 at 10 fps and view in Windows Media Player 12, I see visual artifacts, such as vertical black lines, rainbow colors, or holdovers of portions of the previous slide, even though everything looks fine in Preview. One co-worker doesn't see the visual artifacts on playback, another does, and we all have Windows Media Player 12. Publishing at a higher frame rate of 15 fps did not help. Any suggestions?

It's not so much a known error as just a fact of life that some things work better when you use them the way they were designed to work. If you publish a course for a SCORM LMS environment and then don't run it in a SCORM LMS environment, there are bound to be issues. Captivate content published for SCORM will be looking to communicate with a SCORM API. If it doesn't find one, it won't work properly.
Additionally, when testing content containing linked videos from your local hard drive, you need to remember that Flash Global Security can be an issue:

Is there a way to create a slideshow viewable with a DVD player?

Hi there, is there amongst the Apple programs (or else) something that would allow me to show my digital photos on TV with a DVD player? Manually commanded with the remote, or with auto time lapse, fading or transitions?

I tested both Photo Magico and iDVD. Both produce a nice slideshow with good image quality when previewed on the computer. PhotoMagico has some really professional grade blending and zooming effects, and allows placement of multiple sound tracks, which is not possible with iDVD where you just drop one file and it plays in buckle.
The problem with both is that when the slide show is encoded, it looses too much quality! Images loose their detail, their colour depth, and they flicker inacceptably. The worst is with PhotoMagico who sends the already compressed file to iDVD to be compressed again and burnt. The loss of quality from the very neat preview to the resulting DVD is enormous. Sent to Toast Titanium, it's a little better but aliasing effects are still very annoying.
I then tried a slideshow made directly in iDVD. The quality is merely acceptable, still not professional. The images are so compressed that they loose their details, and the edges of the frames and every straight line in the images flicker...
Compressing an original 5 Gb slideshow made of JPEG files to 1,5 Gb seems an enormous rate of compression. Is this the way it is with those programs, or have I missed some settings somewhere? Is there no way to preserve the initial image size when passed to DVD? Alternatively, would the pro version DVD Studio Pro have more flexibillity? It's there on my computer, but the interface is turning me away! ...
Thanks again for any hints!

Can't figure out what is wrong with recovery DVDs

Last year, right after turning my laptop ON, I've created 4 DVDs as such: http://i56.tinypic.com/6i79rn.jpg
Recovery DVD Disk 1
Recovery DVD Disk 2
Recovery DVD Disk 3
Windows Recovery Environment 64-bit
My Laptop is Qosmio F60-14R, with Windows 7 Home Premium.
Now all I want to do is format my laptop and re-install windows 7 Home premium using those 4 DVDs. However I can't figure out why I cannot re-install or get the laptop back to the factory state.
This have wasted 8 hours straight of my time and frustrated me by great deal. Can you kindly tell me what I have to do? I am lost!

Here is what I have done so far:
I inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
First thing that loads up is a window with two options:
- Toshiba Recovery Wizard
- System Recovery Options
Taking Toshiba Recovery Wizard as choice, clicking Next.
It asks me: "Please set 1st Recovery Media and press Next to Continue.
So, I insert Recovery DVD 1 and then click Next. However it ejects the disc drive (seems Recovery DVD 1 is not the correct Disk!).
So I repeat the same process with Recovery DVD 2 and Recovery DVD 3 and again the Disk Drive ejects the Disks.... As a desperation attempt I even put the Windows Recovery Environment Disk inside but that as well get ejected.
Okay, so the Toshiba Recovery Wizard is not the right choice 'it seems'.
So, I restart the laptop and inserted 'Windows Recovery Environment (64-bit)' DVD and booted the laptop from it.
First thing that loads up is a window with two options: (First choice failed, now trying second choice)
- --Toshiba Recovery Wizard--
- System Recovery Options
So, choosing System Recovery Options this time and clicking Next. I Choose US as Keyboard, then click Next. A small window appears which gives me two further options:
- Use Recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an Operating System to repair.
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
So, I already tried the first choice and it takes me to another window with several recovery tools. One of the tools is System Image Recovery but when I click it, it gives a Warning messagebox that says:
Windows cannot find a system image on this computer. etc.
But when I insert every disk, still the warning messagebox shows up as if all the four recovery DVDs are irrelevant.
So, it seems the first choice doesn't lead me anywhere. So, remains the second choice:
- Restore your computer using a system image that you created earlier.
Turns out it is exactly the same 'System Image Recovery' from first option mentioned few lines earlier. So, there you have it, checkmate.
Please guide.

How do i install a new printer with no dvd?

how do i install a new printer with no dvd?

Hook it up and see if it works. If it is one of the more common printer brands/models, it could very well have it's drivers installed, depending on how your OS was installed. If not, you can always go to the support site for your printer and download the drivers, if necessary.
What kind of printer do you have? What OS and how was it installed?

Install Windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive

My superdrive have broken, anyone have experience installing windows 8 on macbook pro with external dvd drive?
Last night, I tried but end of with black screen.

It can't be done. If your computer has an internal optical drive, working or not, that is the drive you must use. Only computers such as the Macbook Pro Retina/Macbook Air that have no internal optical drive can install Windows from an external drive.

On windows 8 and itunes I have importing problems the DVD is only reading the music cd from 1.5x to 4.0x for 95% of the time, it does hit speeds of 30x for the other 5% of the time. Is it a driver issue with the DVD or is it a windows 8 issue?

No. You have no alternative but to plug it into a computer running iTunes and restore it.
