Very poor quality capturing standard-dv from an HD-DV camera

I used a Sony HDV-FX1 to record standard (non-HD) dv video at 16:9 which looks fine in the camera and on the screen during playback but when I actually capture the footage, the video quality comes out very poor ( http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2636/videocaptureen5.png ). HD recordings from this camera capture perfectly but I can't seem to capture standard-dv video at any acceptable quality. I've tried this in FCP5 and iMovieHD and both are equally bad. Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks,
-Tom

DV video is VERY compressed. 5:1 and in a 720x480 frame. OF COURSE it will look worse than HD. HDV is 1920x1080, A LOT more pixels to work with.
And never ever EVER judge the quality of your footage using FCP or quicktime. EVER. That is NOT what your footage really looks like.
Shane's Stock Answer #2: Blurry playback
ONLY JUDGE THE QUALITY OF YOUR MATERIAL ON AN EXTERNAL NTSC MONITOR, OR AT LEAST A TV.
The canvas shows you what happens after the codec you are working with has been applied. The viewer shows you the material in its native format.
1. Disable overlays on the canvas
2. Make sure you've rendered everything (no green bars at the top of the timeline
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=24787
Video playback requires large amounts of data and many computations. In order to maintain frame rate and be viewable at a normal size, only about one-fourth of the DV data is used in displaying the movie to the screen. However, the DV footage is still at full quality, and is best viewed thru a TV or NTSC monitor routed thru your camera or deck.

  • I must be doing something stupid: Very poor quality DVD rendering!

    I am new to Apple products and after trolling this forum, I was able to create a DVD using iDVD on my Mac mini Core Duo - 2Ghz model. But, the video is of very poor quality (compression artifacts). I am lookging for guidance to creating a better video quality. But first, let me give you some background...
    I have created enough DVDs for my home videos captured both from my S-VHS camcorder and min-DV camcorders (both PAL and NTSC) using Pinnacle Studio (buggiest software in the world) and Adobe Premiere Elements under Windows. I have clear expectation of video quality and understand the quality differences between various standards.
    I have a fairly new toy - Canon Powershot TX1 digital camera which is an amazing compact camera that shoots 720p video @ 30fps and stores them in MJPEG format. Very good optics (10x optical image stabilized zoom). The only con is that it has very poor low light shooting ability.
    The steps I took to create this DVD...
    1. Import the .avi and .jpeg files from my camera into iPhoto library.
    2. Use iMovie (all part of iLife'08) to stitch the avi clips and also some of jpegs. Added transitions, titles and music in iMovie.
    3. Also, added some of my old low resolution avi files (from my older Canon camera - probably in 640x480 resolution).
    3. Exported it in the largest file mode (960x540) which created a 1.8GB file.
    4. Opened this movie file in Garageband and added the Chapter markers.
    5. Shared it with iDVD which automatically launched iDVD and showed the chapters in very nice scene selections menus.
    6. Invoked the Burn menu to burn the movie into a DVD using iDVD.
    Am I using the right methodology (I want the chapters)? I also observed that an earlier project which was pure 15 minutes of 720p content created a 4.7GB size exported file from iMovie whereas this current project has 51min of avi (of which about 10min is low res and the rest is in 720p format) and 12min of still photos produced a 1.8GB file when exported. This clearly tells me that the exported file is of poor quality. Why did that happen? Was it because I mixed the content and included low res videos?
    I should probably try creating a DVD from the pure 720p content and see how that looks.
    Any pointers would be a great help. BTW, the mac mini, iPhoto and iMovie forums are just awesome. The quality of posts and responses is very high.

    Thanks a lot, F Shippey.
    I exported it as a .dv file and then I was able to produce the DVD correctly with the Revolution theme and 11 chapters. I haven't done any editing any clips yet in iMovie. In most cases, I will not need to do that in most cases as the Canon TX1 creates individual avi clips every time I record and stop a recording. Having used a camcorder for over a decade now, I know how silly most of the recordings are.
    I will be rendering most of my videos as h.264 so that I can use the mac mini as a media server instead of using DVDs. I have to rip my own DVDs as h.264 soon (back to handbrake).
    PS: While creating my first DVD in OS X + iLife'08 tools, I noticed the following bugs:
    1. The clips disappear from the display in the editing window when the project becomes large and I had to zoom in and out to make them reappear. I verified that I wasn't viewing past the end of the last clip. If I hover the mouse in the blank window, it will show the clip in the preview window on the right.
    2. I had 11 chapters marked in Garageband and then I shared it with iDVD, it created two pages of scene selections with 6 chapters in each page. In the 2nd page, it added a random window (unconnected) for the 12th chapter that I didn't have. I didn't check for that and so my finished DVD has this weird 12th chapter with a copied moving clip in the window, but when selected, it doesn't do anything.
    These two bugs are way few compared to what Pinnacle Studio threw at me.

  • Very poor quality ichat video

    I am new to ichat and I have very poor quality video links with my family. One in CA and the other in TN both are on macs. They are both very fragmented and broken up. Also there is a huge delay in the audio. Please help....I can't see my new nephew. Thanks

    i am also having issues with my ichat video quality, and there is a delay on audio sometimes. i chat with my friend in philly; i am in brookyn, ny. sometimes the audio is in sync, and then sometimes we have a delay. but the video quality is so blurry on my end...i can barely see her. but her video of me is fine. my preview screen looks great, the connection doctor says everything is good.
    i'm not very good with macs tho and computer jargon. i need someone to help me, but who can walk me thru this stuff like im in first grade.

  • Very poor quality on photos made with iphone 4

    Since a few weeks i've noticed that photos made with my iPhone 4 have a very poor quality. I've upgraded to IOS 4.3.2 thinking about a software problem, but the quality is still very poor. It´s like out of focus. I submit a just made photo. Any answer? Thanks a lot.
    This photo is made with original photo app and no zoom.

    Only thing I can think of is a focus problem (which could be software) or a lens with some junk on it that causes some blurring.
    Can't offer a solution but can make some suggestions.
    Take  different types of pictures and, just for variety in case it reveals something, take two of each - one touching the screen and then one after touching for comparison.
    Do close-ups and distance shots.  Do indoor and outdoor, with and without flash on the indoor - again, of the same thing so you can compare.
    Might reveal a pattern.  If all are bad, then it probably goes back to the lense or software not working.
    If some come out fine, it would seem to reduce the chance of it being the lens being dirty or something.  On the other hand, if close up shots look good but distant ones don't, it could be either software or the internal focusing hardware isn't adjusting enough for distant shots.
    Just some things to consider.

  • Export to HQ DVD very poor quality

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to export to an HQ DVD, meaning I've chosen the highest settings, ending up with a 5552Mb File for 75 mn... which I believe would be enough to have a very high "normal"definition .
    ok I know it wouldn't fit but I burned 10mn of timeline with these settings, to check, and the quality is very poor. I believe as bad as a VHS second generation copy... My titles appear like a very low photoshop jpg compression, and all lignes and shapes are surrounded by some kind of compression artefacts not acceptable even in normal def. (not mentioning the interlaced lines at the edit point when the clip has been altered in size or color etc...) You get the picture...
    I had a look at the calculator, that is not much help finally when exporting from premiere.
    What I want to do is export my (xdcam hd 50mbps 1080 50i).mxf timeline to a beatiful dvd that everybody can play....
    Should I go for a third party encoder?
    Also, It seems that when I export and burn through Encore, I get a slightly vertically stretched frame, that ellipses the perfect circles I have on the timeline. Although I respect the pixel ratio of 1.0, 16.9 screen... wide screen etc... I always get this stretching. (Playing the file from the pc is correct.)
    What puzzles me is to see some nice SD DVDs around, burnt from HD files and I'm not able to get at least the same results from a broadcast approved camcorder and premiere CS6.
    Export settings are:
    Help please... Thanks.

    Glad to help.
    I have been using Encore every since it was first released and on many occasions I have pruduced MPG files encoded at different rates so that I can demonstrate to the audience at my presentations how the different settings can affect the end MPG movie
    With Encore I have found that the settings I gave you earlier give the best compromise results, in my tests having the max setting at its max position and the target above eight can produce flawed mpeg files. this is not as a resullt of one off encoding but I have repeated it with each version of Encore with varying results, certainly using Encore in my CS5.5 Suite produces softer DVD's than earlier versions, in my opinion that is..
    With HD source my Panasonic HMC 150 Encore produces reasonable MPG SD files but the Canon 7 D produces more artifacts.
    Enough of a remeniss and ramble, good luck
    Addiitonally with the completed DVD there is a distinct difference depending upon which DVD player is used, using the same DVD my Sony 3D bluray player upscales better than my Panasonic Bluray recorder, whereas at a club I go to the Pioneer AV amp upscales the DVD even better, therefore I would conclude that the device playing back the DVD can have a vast effect on what you see.

  • Very poor quality with imovie

    hi all
    i have a canon hf200 that records mts file. 1920x1080
    when i export my movie with imovie the quality of the video is very poor,i export as quicktime movie and i lose a lot of quality.
    need i to convert mts file before import it on imovie?
    ps:sorry for my english

    To increase the quality of a video, one of the things you can do is by instead of exporting the video using Quicktime just select 'export movie...' from the share menu. You can then select what level of quality you want, after selecting what you want to name your movie and where you want to save it.

  • Help please -My HQ photos are being rendered in very poor quality in iMovie

    Hi there
    I have a problem I cannot solve in iMovie (HD 6.0.3).
    I am making a movie/slideshow of photos using very high quality photos imported from Aperture. I'm finding them incredibly BAD quality when it comes to the rendering of finished product, the most obvious problem being the pixellation (seen as wavy lines) when the Ken Burns effect is used. It looks the worst on a plasma television, which it is being made to watch on.
    I have burned it at the highest quality I can find, but there is still no improvement. Can anyone help please? I'm doing this as a gift for my parents, but don't want to send them something of inferior quality.
    Thanks!
    Carly

    if you've burned it to DVD, then its probably a standard definition iMovie project which means that is 480 lines interlaced. it makes no difference how high quality the originals are, they'll still be re-sized down to 480 lines and since its interlaced, that means that you're only ever showing every-other line. and because standard definition alternates between the odd and even numbered lines, you'll probably see lots of shimmering in the highlights. it will look worse when you try to stretch it across a high-definition TV because there's interpolation going on to up-convert the whole thing back to the 720 or 1080 lines of high definition.
    in short, you'll never really get super-high quality from a standard definition TV and you'll only get good results on a high-def TV if you keep everything high def (720p or 1080p) throughout the entire workflow. and until Apple updates its software to handle Blue-Ray or HD-DVD authoring, it'll be very expensive to master those kinds of discs!
    best of luck,

  • MBP Retina FaceTime HD Camera has very poor quality and artifacts.

    Hey guys, the camera on my 2012 MBP 15' Retina has ridiculously poor quality. After recieving it I had got major artifacting while using the camera for skype, facetime and Google+. Usually the artifacting would continue (many multi-colored horizontal lines across the screen of the camera) until finally the bars would disappear maybe one or two bars would remain, regardless it was usable. I noticed, however, the quality was attrocious, but I assumed it was just how it was supposed to be (very surprised for a $2300 laptop). Recently my friend purchased the same laptop, after looking at his FaceTime HD camera, I realized mine was simply an attrocious fluke, my camera had ridiculous blurring and grain and awful light sensing. I am still under warranty until November 23rd, 2013. What are your opinions on how to get this resolved?
    Here are some pictures:

  • IMac 27 - very poor quality audio when using analogue headphone output

    Hi,
    I've had my iMac 27 (i7 quad core, early 2010, OS X 10.6.4), hooked up to my hi-fi via the headphone output jack (analogue) since i bought the machine a few months ago, and its worked fine. However, the audio quality has suddenly deteriorated. The volume is very low, meaning that I can only hear anything if I turn up my hi-fi volume all the way, and then the sound is distorted (as you'd probably expect). Turning up the volume on say, iTunes, whist playing a track, combined with turning up the iMac's output volume does cause an increase in overall volume, but it only makes the difference between totally inaudible and very quiet! Its as if there is some internal output- level setting within the iMac that has 'stuck' at a very low setting!
    Troubleshooting actions carried out so far:
    Removing the audio cable from the iMac's headphone socket allows the Imac to play via its own internal speakers, and this works fine! (The sound is good, volume is decent, no distortion). So, its just the headphone audio that is affected!
    I've verified the sound settings in system preferences. They look fine.
    I've performed several soft and hard reboots (with up to 24-hours separating power-off/power-on cycles), but to no avail.
    I've booted into Windows XP (bootcamp) and the same audio problem persists (so its not the O/S that's causing the issue).
    I've checked the cable and my hi-fi by removing the 3.5mm terminating plug from the imac and sticking into my mp3 player's headphone jack. All works fine. I then inserted the 3.5mm plug plug into my laptop's headphone jack. Again, perfect sound reproduction through my hi-fi. I then returned the plug to the imac's headphone socket and the audio problem re-surfaced, so its definitely the imac that is at fault.
    I've ran the extended hardware tests too - no faults found.
    I reckon its a hardware fault, but just wondered if anyone else had experienced the same problems?
    Incidentally, my Imac is well within its 12-month warranty, but the complimentary 90-day Applecare cover has expired. Looks as if I'm going to have to make an appointment with a 'Genius', but I didn't want to go through the hassle of transporting the system unless necessary. Thankfully, I've had none of the other widely reported quality issues, and apart from this audio problem the machine has performed flawlessly.
    Kind regards.

    I have 30 new imacs running Snow Leopard. They replace 30 emacs that were running panther. I have 30 headsets (labtech) that worked beautifully with my emacs. Used them so my kids could create imovie projects using imovie 6. Well all that has changed with my new imacs. I went to use imovie 9 today and what a disaster. NONE of the headsets would work as they had on the emacs. The kids had to wiggle the plugs and that would sometimes create sound out of one channel, no channels, or would create a crackling sound. Worse than that is that it would give the kids the spinning beach ball. They would unplug the headsets and after about 1 minute imovie would return to normal. I took some of the headsets and tried them out on an emac I have in the room and they all work. I tried them on my macbook pro and they all work. So, it is not wiring or a plug. The sound prefs are setup correctly. Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Here I have new imacs which will allow more sophisticated projects with the iLife apps, but can't use them due to inoperable headsets. I have tried three different brands of headsets and 2 of them will not work at all. These were brand new imacs - right out of the box, and brand new headsets. This is very frustrating to me and the students.
    Any help would be appreciated. How can apple not design a fully functioning headphone jack as they have in the past?

  • Poor quality of PNGs exported from Illustrator, in documents that are then PDF'd

    Hi All,
    This is a strange one, which has taken up a lot of time to try to solve.
    I crreated a package of variants on the company logo and exported them from Illustrator as PNGs. I even tried them at 150dpi - then 600dpi.
    When I put them into MS Word or Apache Open Office documents they look perfect: sharp, crisp, perfect curves. Hurrah!
    However, when I export those text documents as PDFs from MS Word or Open Office, the logos look terrible and ragged.
    I have all the settings correct when I export as PDF - lossless compression, print quality etc. If the logos are SVG images [vector], they are perfect PDF'd from Open Office but I can't use those in MS Office. Aggh!
    After a lot of experimentation and discussion over at Apache's forums - there was no solution, until...
    I pasted the logo artwork from Illustrator into Fireworks - of all things - and saved it as a 300dpi flat PNG from Fireworks. That PNG works perfectly when in a document that's exported as a PDF. I wouldn't be at all surprised if one from Photoshop would be good too.
    So - I think that - the common denominator/crux of the matter is the PNG files that are created by Illustrator. They appear great inserted into documents but don't survive a subsequent PDF export well at all.
    I'd love to read any comments on this?
    [Also, for laughs, I tried high res/high quality TIFFs and JPEGs from Illustrator, and had the same problem]

    Hi John M,
    Microsoft .WMF format. [.WTF?] is pretty good in the resultant PDF. However, when you zoom in to the PDF, the curves get a bit rounded-polygonal, in a smooth-bumpy way. Odd - not a huge issue unless people zoom in. However, it is evident if they print it. And they will.
    Right. What you're seeing there is the Windows Metafile format's lack of support for bezier curves. Close inspection reveals curves that are made up of many small straight line segments.
    However...
    That's why I asked about platform. Running Windows, it's possible to Copy from Illustrator and Paste Special > Enhanced Metafile in MS Office apps. With that procedure, the result is vectors that land in Office without the full WMF conversion and resulting segmentation.
    To demonstrate; I made a small circle in Illustrator with a black stroke and yellow fill.

  • ITunes only mono / very poor quality audio via Airport Express

    I have a relatively old (3-4 years?) Airport Express, which had been working perfectly to play iTunes over my hifi system wirelessly. However after a year or two of not using it (and upgrading my OS X Tiger regularly in the mean time) I am having problems. Initially iTunes would not connect at all (unknown error -3256) so after reading various discussion posts I (a) downloaded AirPort Utility 5.3.2 for Tiger and (b) used it to upgrade the operating software on the AX unit (now 6.3 I think?), successfully I think.
    Following this iTunes finds the external hifi/speakers and music plays wirelessly through them BUT the audio quality is terrible, varying from treble only with no base to playing only out of one speaker.
    The audio quality is perfect if I plug my Mac / iTunes directly into the hifi using the same cable as that connecting to the AX unit, so I figure this must be a problem with the bandwidth/connection from the Mac to AX.
    Can someone please help me? Much appreciated.

    If it's bandwidth probelm I would expect to hear the music cutting in and out (as the AX trying to fill its buffer up and then the buffer becomes empty as not enough data coming in to fill it). Rather than becoming mono only or treble only.
    I think you should check your analog connections.

  • Very Poor Quality after Importing from Time Machine

    I lost iMovies for some reason when I upgraded to Maverick.  I imported my iMovie events from Time Machine into iMovie 10 but the quality is now horrible. Anyone know how to correct this?  DO I have to import a differnet way?
    Gratefully yours, Daniel

    I'm not quite clear exactly how you imported - if your events were from iMovie 9 the correct procdure would be first to recover your iMovie Events and iMovie Projects folder from Time Machine.
    You would then check that they open OK in iMovie 9 (which you should still have available in your Applications folder). 
    When this OK you can close iMovie 9, open iMovie 10 and update your media into iMovie 10.
    See help at: http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0/#mov902ad0c31
    If you have already done this,  have you allowed time for iMovie 10 to re-render your clips in the background?  (can take a long time).  The quality immediately after importing may well be poor at first.

  • Images on Robohelp are very poor quality/blurry or don't appear at all

    Hello,
    Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated as I have been attempting to solve this for several hours a day for the past week.
    I have a simple employee handbook in word (about 20 pages with images) that I’m trying to turn into an html-based document. I've tried a couple if things in order to get this file into robohelp. I've linked the word document to RoboHelp and worked with that, and I've also imported the word doc into framemaker and then linke my framemaker document to Robohelp.
    I’ve managed to create the html version with a table of contents doing it both ways, but there are a few images in the word document that turn out really bad in the html version. They look fine in the word document and in pdf version, but when I view them in RoboHelp or  in the html version of the document they’re very blurry and choppy. It almost looks as it pixels are missing. I’ve tried everything I could think of but nothing changes the quality of the image. As soon as I link the word document or framemaker document, when I click "view" on the specific image, or just view it from the handbook in Robohelp the image looks terrible.
    Someone suggested that I checkmark "do not re-generate image" under project settings but now some of my images aren't appearing at all. All of my images are the same type but I've also tried changing it to png, or bmp, jpeg but nothing changes. They're either blurry or don't appear at all.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions!

    I don't know if this will help you, but I've had issues with poor image quality when importing Word documents into RH7. I see a fuzziness problem with most images--screen shot or not--but it seems really pronounced if the image in Word is reduced to less than 100%. To resolve this, I've opted to manually copy any Word images to another application (I use SnagIt), save them at 100% to PNG format (JPG and GIFs also work), and import the saved image files to Robohelp. That sounds like that's what you ended up doing with Photoshop.
    Also, I wonder if it makes a difference how much the text was magnified/reduced when they took the original screen shots. I just did an experiment--using SnagIt, I took a screen capture of a block of text at 100% magnification. I then pasted the screen shot directly from SnagIt into my Robohelp document. It came in perfectly clean--couldn't see any obvious difference between the Robohelp text and the image of the Word text. I got the same results when I saved the screen capture to a PNG file and imported it that way. That leads me to believe the problem you're seeing is a result of having Word images automatically converted to RH.
    (In the example--unfortunately hard to see-- the text in the red box is from a screen capture; the rest of the text was entered in RH8--there's no discernable difference in quality.)

  • Buggy DV-tape = poor quality capture in FCP! Or does it?

    Hi all!
    I'm in a bit of trouble. The thing is as follows: I've shot some video of my 5 month old son, two 60 minute FUJI tapes. My wife and I would like to make a DVD as a Christmas gift for our parents. The first tape is good, no problem what so ever capturing it into FCP 5.2.1, it just runs like a charm! However, right around tape two, is where my life becomes less funny. FCP simply refuses to capture anything beyond the first 25 minutes. It claims that something is wrong with the tape, and then it stops. If I try to carry on, FCP will continue for about 3 seconds, then 11 seconds, then 1 minute and so on. So I kinda gave up on that approach.
    I also have iMovie HD, and just for the fun of it, I gave the same tape a spin in iMovie ... It went for it - the very first time. The quality leaves a lot to be desired though. The image quality is buggy as if frames are being skipped or dropped, the sound is poor, it keeps breaking up, in the same spots as where the frames goes bye-bye! However, it is now on my computer. It should be mentioned that I DID NOT extract the audio in iMovie HD
    Having a huge amount o faith in FCP + Soundtrack Pro, I did the unthinkable: I imported the iMovie clips into FCP, and there they are, just sitting there, lauging at me!
    I think I have some of the breaking-up sound issues under control with the ambient sound footprint-thingie. It sounds a lot better now that I have been able to fill in the "blanks" in the STP editor.
    Here comes my real question... Finally:
    Is there a way to (as easy as possible) fix/cut out the video problem areas as well? In STP the sound is represented in a visual, very easy to understand kind of way, where I'm able to spot the gaps as flat lines in between the sound. Does FCP have a similar view, or anything as usefull?
    Is it clear at all what I'm trying to say, or is it just plain garbage??
    Anyway, thanks in advance!
    BTW: Can you guys recommned any DV-Tapes as being superior to others. I'm not really too keen on FUJI right now, and if there is a problem with the tape, you only find out when it's too late: at the editing table!

    You should use the head cleaner every 100 hrs. or so and ideally you would take it in once every few years to get a professional cleaning, depending on the camera.
    There's also cleaning of the lenses and light dusting of the camera body every week or so, depending on how often you shoot. Make sure you use a microfiber cloth that's safe for use on camera lenses, since other subtly-abrasive cloths that may appear to be acceptable may scratch and subsequently damage the lens.
    Start out with a head Cleaner. The ones that look like a tape that you play in the camera for a few seconds. That'll probably fix your problem in the future. It it doesn't you might want to think about sending the camera in to be cleaned.

  • Very Poor Quality of Soft and Hard Cover Books in UK

    I recently had 2 soft cover books printed-both originated from Aperture. Both showed severe crinkling on the cover on all areas of BLACK ink. The covers have also curled outwards badly. After speaking with the Apple Print Services helpdesk I was assured it must have been just a 'one off' problem. The replacement was not quite as bad but was still what I would say was of unacceptable quality. The pages inside are printed on very lightweight paper with a poor finish on all printed areas.
    I then tried a hard cover book. This had a crinkled dust jacket caused presumably also by over-saturated ink on the paper.
    The system of binding looked amateurish.
    I would be interested to know whether my experiences are echoed by users on other continents. These books had a Dutch postmark on the package so I guess they were printed there?
    These books may be priced attractively, but personally I would rather have a quality product than something I am embarrassed by - or certainly in a professional arena.

    Hi, I have also ordered photobook through Aperture. Received with Dutch postmark. Quality is not good, the pages are very thin, use thicker paper than this for everyday printing, looks saturated, colour reproduction is not good in some photos also have some that are blurry. Have reproduced photos at same size on printer at home and they are totally different, do not know if this was a download issue.
    As they come from Holland was wondering if it is through KODAK.
    Also Aperture update 2.1.2 says that it will improve printing quality of books ordered through the printing services. Does this mean that a problem has been admitted and all photobooks ordered previously using Aperture 2 will have the oportunity to redownload and reprint? Somehow I think not.
