  • 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.

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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.

  • CD Got Stuck and Got Very Poor Support for this issue

    I Have a mac mini Intel Duo core. This is the second time My cd is getting Stuck.
    First Time It was my mac OSX Recovery Disk. I inserted My disk and restarted the system before i got the cd loaded. The Cd Got Stuck. None of the standerd recovery procedures worked. I called up support and took the system to apple care solution They took a day to take it out.
    This Time I Inserted an audio cd during Screen saver mode (Forrest Screen Saver) and when resumed to work I found out the CD was not recognised. I have Installed the eject shortcut on the top right menu bar. When i clicked eject after a long wait Nothing happend. The Drive was listed in Utilities> Disk Utility But I was not able to Eject. When I restarted by clicking the mouse button also nothing worked. Once I have restarted I have No drives Listed.
    By Callon Customer Support I tried all trouble shooting steps again. Now I will Have to take my mac mini back to service it mak take a day to fix it.
    I think cd gets stuck then we insert the cd in screen saver mode or insert it and restart before cd is recognised. Can Some one try out these scenaios and tell me whether my diag is right?
    reg Apple support It is very poor (Compared to this dell has very good support. The are having their tech ppl coming home with all possible replasement components that might have gorn wrong trouble shoot fix the issue do replacements and leave the place compared to this apple care is just very poor ). One has to carry his mini to authorised service every time this occurs and wait untill the support ppl ejects it for me (This gives me no Option other than handing over my pc and wait without one for a day). The slot drive does not have a manual eject hole accessable to end user (Thats a cool design flaw).
    In short Apple Service is very poor all arround the world
    Mac Mini (Intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Siva,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You just happened to have gotten some bad support by fluke. On the whole Apple's support is rated better than Dell worldwide:
    http://forums.maccentral.com/wwwthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=6 18987
    There are a couple articles which I recommend reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106752
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58641
    The latter article may not explain directly why your last couple of disks failed to eject, but if you used a non-standard disk, or one that had an adhesive label on it which suddenly got into the drive, it might have affected the ability of the drive to eject properly.
    Yes occasionally you do get bad support, and occasionally a repair is flawed, but that's why when you call AppleCare and you have a problem with a repair, I recommend you speak to customer relations. They'll set you right.

  • Itunes match sync album art work problem and poor quality art work issue

    Hi There,
    I have two issues with apple itunes and itunes match:
    I seem to have a number of albums with poor quality artwork, now i have gone through the removed downloaded artwork and the right click and select the art work toggle box to remove the art work, after doing this I then ask to get the album cover from Itunes indervidually and high quality art work is down loaded and looks great for around 10-20 minutes then it seems to update slowley and revert to the old poor quality art work. Any Ideas? A simular thing that happens is that some art work that ive added manually is deleted. I have also gone into the itunes folder and deleted the album art work folder to force it to download new art work. Is there any way to lock in the art work that you know is good?
    Itunes match after making changes to itunes albums I have then updated itunes match and my work is undone? This maybe complaations or album coers any ideas.
    I am using itunes version 11.01
    I have looked through the forum and read meany feeds about album covers but I havent found one that is reverting covers.

  • 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:

  • 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,

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • Very poor quality when viewing DVD on TV

    Hello,
    I have searched this forum high and low, but every response I have tried to this issue does not seem to work. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I am using FCS2 on a new 8-core Intel Mac Pro desktop. All of the footage is shot on High Def AVCHD Cameras and ripped from Log and Transfer in FCP. My video is about 1 hour, 5 minutes. The problem I have is that the quality looks great in the MOV file export, but when I burn it to a DVD, it looks like garbage. It's all grainy and the quality a really poor. Here is my workflow:
    1) Video is created in Final Cut Pro (no chapters at this point), its all 1 video
    2) Video is exported using Quicktime. I use the selected settings, and uncheck Recompress All Frames, and select use chapter markers
    3) I compress the video for SD DVD in Compressor, using 120min Best Quality DVD, default settings with this option.
    4) I put the audio and video file in my assets for DVD Studio Pro, then Drag them onto the video. I removed the menu item, and changed the video to "play first". I then click Format/Burn.
    The DVD formats and burns, and it plays fine. But the quality *****. The raw MOV file looks great. It's clearly interlaced yet at the time of export from FCP, but I am assuming that is normal. Any ideas, or am I doing anything wrong?
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Brandon,
    I suspect we are missing a few factors in your situation. Let me ask a few questions and make a suggestion or two so we can figure this thing out.
    1) What is the make and model of your TV?
    2) Are you telling DVD Studio Pro that the movie you've converted to SD is anamorphic?
    3) You did tell Compressor you wanted the SD movie to be 16:9, didn't you?
    4) To help troubleshoot, try this: In FCP, mark In to Out around a ten second portion of the Timeline, and go to File > Export > QuickTime Movie. Make it self contained but do not re-compress all frames.
    5) Quit FCP, open DVDSP and change the Preferences in DVDSP to create an HD DVD title. Import the QT Movie you exported from FCP, drop it into a vidoe track, make it a First Play on the disc and Format it onto your hard drive. Play it in DVD Player and tell us how it looks.
    6) If it looks fine, burn it to a DVD disc and play it in your Apple computer. How does it look?
    7) Now create a new project in DVDSP, make it a SD DVD project, import the same QT Movie you exported from FCP. Drop it into a video track, make it First Play on the disc, and Format it. Play it in DVD Player. How does it look?
    8) Then burn it to a DVD and play it on your Apple computer. How does it look?
    9) Now, play it in an external DVD player on am SD television. How does it look?
    Please do all that, then reply back to this thread with the answers to all of these questions. I think we'll be closer to resolving the problem after that.
    Do not reformat your hard drive or reinstall your OS yet. It is far too soon for that over-reaction. Maybe later, but I seriously doubt that will help anything.

  • 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?
