Video Artifacts

Hi, I've got a question about codecs and compression. I'm using a Sony DV VX-2000 to shoot video and I'm wondering if in Final Cut Pro if you can use codecs/compression like DVCPRO50 to reduce video artifacts? I know that DVCPRO50 is made by Panasonic, but it's a DV format. I guess I'm more curious as to whether or not you can use any DV codec/compression with a DV tape? (except for PAL since it's not used in North America). I know this sounds silly but it would really help me for future projects.

DV is a 'codec' in its own right... in the sense that everything digital is a compression of the natural acoustic world. Since what comes thru the glass HAS to be compressed to fit as digital information to the tape, different cameras going to different tapes can do it differently... DV25, DV50, HDV, DigiBeta etc. All of these are FORMS of codecs... but not what we generally CALL codec. Plus, apple throws in it's own codec in the form of a QT wrapper to the material captured/read off the tape.
So -- you really need to be capturing with the same FORMAT (we'll call it format now...) as the material was encoded to tape.
Does that help you?
You're mixing terms and getting yourself confused, I think.

Intel i915 Video Artifacts with Xorg 1.9

Hey everyone. I set up Arch with my girlfriend on her Asus U81A earlier tonight, but we're getting some terrible video artifacting and I can't seem to find us a solution. Basically the screen often fails to refresh after things even as simple as typing - lots of black boxes. Is anyone getting the same behavior? Has anyone come across a solution? Here are her versions of the pertinent packages. I'm not sure if this is just a conflict with the new xorg 1.9 or what... I tried specifying the intel driver manually via both mkinitcpio.conf and GRUB (where you modeset=1). Neither helps at all.
gnome-desktop 2.32.0-1
xorg-server 1.9.0-1
xf86-video-intel 2.12.0-3
Thanks to anyone who has info on this subject.

ouch...noone wants an angry gf
the 60ish fps is perfectly right since the intel drivers are now syncing to vblank

Video Artifacts: Radeon 9800 Pro + ACD 23 (Clear) + G5

Hi guys.
I've been experiencing some video artifacts with my retail version Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB (not the OEM "XT" version from Apple) which is driving my ACD 23" (Clear Enclosure), which is connected to a Dualie 2.5GHz G5 running Tiger 10.4.2.
Prior to installing the upgraded video card, I never had this problem, so I am pretty sure it's the card.
It has only happened to me when the G5 wakes from sleep. And it doesn't happen very often, either. Maybe 1 out of 20 wakes from sleep. The only way to get it back to normal is to turn off the G5 completely, disconnect the ADC connector cable from the back of the video card, and then reconnect it and reboot.
I also have a second display connected to a Radeon 7000 via VGA and when the artificats appear, the other display is just fine. The weird thing is that I can actually take a screen shot of the artifacts, which I thought wouldn't show up. I am not sure what that means, but I think the fact that I can take a screenshot of it tells me the display is being corrupted at the system level. Right?
Any help would be appreciated. TIA.
Here's a screenshot:

Hi Bryanus,
Did you have an ADC port on your old card? Do you still have your old card? If this is the case, you can verify that the new card is implicated by re-installing your old card and seeing whether the problem repeats itself.
If you only have DVI on your old card, you would have to borrow an adaptor, but then you are relying on the adaptor to function properly.
If the problem doesn't repeat itself with your old card being used, then the new card is the culprit, in which case I'd ask to have it replaced, or get a refund.
If the problem does repeat itself with the old card, then you might want to consider other possible contributing factors such as the physical state of the monitor connection (dirty or tarnished contacts, bent pins etc.).
If the problem repeats itself with a new (replacement) card, you could add AGP slot issues to the above paragraph.
"Sleep" in an Apple Mac often generates issues with third party hardware, so your primary consideration that it is probably the card is (to me anyway) still the most likely.
All the best with the diagnosis!
Cheers!

Video artifacts when dragging file to desktop

im having strange video artifacts when dragging a file from any finder window onto the desktop.... this youtube video shows it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXhzTDbuhIA (this is not my video and the lion used there was not the commercial release but its exactly the same behavior)
i use an imac 27 i7 2011 with clean lion install and applied 10.7.1 update (it happened the same prior to update)

Try both of these Resets:
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Imovie 9 "far far away "video artifacts on render

Trying to a 30 second clip in iMovie 9.0.9 using the Stars background and "far far away" text fx. I can add the text no problem but when it renders, I am getting a whole bunch of video artifacts. After I render, the same artifacts show up in iMovie in the preview pane. They never actually show uo until I render. Any thoughts? This is on a macbook air (original) but I have tried it on different systems with the same result. The text is short phases (for grade 1) all center justified. Looks like a bug in the far far away script.

You need to change your project to 16:9 in File/Project Properties.

H.264 export video artifacts with regular background pattern

I'm generally very pleased with the flexibility and quality of the H.264 video encoder provided by Premiere Pro.
However, I have one scene, with a graph-paper-like background that generates video artifacts when zooming in and out, no matter how high I set the bitrate.
I'm including two images created by grabbing frames from the exported movie from Quick Time Player. The first shows the scene without artifacts (at the end when the
zooming is over) while the second shows the effect when I'm zooming in on the scene. As you can see, the artifacts consist of graying out of the black lines and appearance of some "tick" lines along the lines, which I assume is due to the compression algorithm used by the codec. Does anyone have experience with such problems and can suggest a way to avoid this? It's a relatively short segment of the video that is effected.
Thanks in advance!

Hmmm... the second file ppVideoArtifactOn.jpg appears by name in the original posting after the first, visible image. I'm not sure why it's not showing up, but I'll include it here again:

Jagged application menu's edges, video artifacts in Dock (in Lion)

Um, I'm getting all kinds of weird video artifacts, especially along the left hand side of menus as I scroll over them (the pull down menus like "History" "Bookmarks" etc.) in Safari, Mail... well every application. And in the dock some icons will show artifacts that are, in fact, images of the dock of icons not even near that dock, and super small (like you can see three icons of apps from about six over to the left of the one you are highlighting) peeking out from the back ground. Some mess up video going on here. Pull downs within Safari itself stick and show the same jagged edges problem as well it turns out.

Try MPEGstreamclip (free), there are others as well, but this is the one I use and these are my settings.

TF2 Caused Persistant Video Artifacts

I installed Team Fortress 2, and ever since playing it, I get video artifacts that persist even after rebooting. I'm pretty confident the graphics card is not broken.

Also note that I get similar artifacts when enabling hardware acceleration in flash. They go away when disabled.
I have a feeling it may be related to xorg. Relevant log below:

Are there any modules or extensions that might have been enabled by TF2 that I can disable?
Any ideas?

Update: No video artifacts when using the nouveau driver. Still looking to get proprietary driver to work again.

Video Artifacts During Heavy GPU Operations

Hello,
I have a Mid-2014 Macbook Pro 15-inch, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, GeForce GT 750M 2 GB.
When I perform GPU-heavy operations, such as rendering in Adobe Media Encoder using CUDA, I start to get video artifacts onscreen. I have attached an example.
The computer is sitting on an iCurve elevated stand, and I can hear the fans running. I suspect this is being caused by heat but I'm not sure. The problem is exasperated when I'm using 3 displays so I am now only using 2 external displays.
The problem also gets worse as the gpu-intensive tasks progress.
There are no meaningful messages in the console logs that would indicate software problems.
I would like to check my GPU temperature, but there is no straightforward way to do this with the NVIDIA GPU.

Have you tried iStat menus?
http://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/
You also might make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a FREE evaluation. Bring the screen shoots with you.
Ciao.

MBP won't boot. When starting there's weird video artifacts, but it never makes it past the apple logo.

My MBP is an early 2011. At boot the screen is full of a strange video artifacts and never usually makes it past the boot screen. I tried this in windows with the same result. I've reset SMC, PRAM, uninstalled and reinstalled my ram, etc with no luck. I had this problem before and luckily was able to make it to the recovery menu to reinstall OSX and they did the trick. But this time I can't even get that far..... Check out the pic below. It's kind of crappy but you can see the artifacts if you look at the apple logo closely.

That clearly indicates that your computer's GPU is damaged, and you are not the only one.
If you have got a 15-inch MacBook Pro, Apple has started recently a free replacement program for all MacBooks Pro affected by defective GPUs like yours. You only have to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller to get it fixed for free. If you want to know more about the replacement program, have a look at the Apple site -> https://www.apple.com/support/macbookpro-videoissues/
However, if you have got a 13-inch MacBook Pro, there is no replacement program, so you will have to pay for the repair.

Mid 2010 Macbook Pro 15" crashes with video artifacts then chimes SOS

This just started happening. I had Windows 7 installed and it began to blue screen on me, so I deleted the partition and opened bootcamp assistant to re-install Windows then the screen began flickering with artifacts and everything froze... It will no longer boot half the time and if it does it crashes shortly after. I also tried booting from the USB OSX installation and it crashed there too.
When it does boot to Yosemite, it displays a progress bar under the apple and takes a while.
Occasionally I can enter my password and get passed the lock screen, but usually it dies there.
Is this a firmware issue?
I think the computer has been acting a little funny after Yosemite install.

You have the MacBookPro6,2—the Edsel of Macs. It may have the logic-board defect that was covered by this recall.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider, to have the machine tested. The routine hardware diagnostics used by service providers do not detect the fault. There is a specific test for this issue that Apple calls "VST" (for "Video Switching Test.") Ask for it. A "Failed" result means that the fault is present. However, according to reports, some units may pass the test, and yet still be deemed eligible for repair under the program. Your experience may vary.
Print the first page of the panic report, if any, and the support page linked above, and bring them with you.
Note that the recall only applies within three years of purchase. After that, Apple may refuse the service. In that case, you may be quoted a price of about $300 (in the U.S.) for a "depot repair," which involves shipping the unit to a central repair facility and takes about two weeks. For that flat fee, anything found wrong with it should be fixed, not just the logic board.
The model was discontinued on February 24, 2011, so the recall has nominally ended. Some units may have been sold after that date by Apple as refurbished, or by resellers as new, and they might still be covered.
Residents of the EU may be entitled to warranty service for up to six years after purchase.
Some owners report that their unit was repaired under the program after the deadline had passed. Others report that the repair was covered by the extended warranty from a credit-card issuer. Again, your experience may vary.
Sometimes the replacement part is also defective, so be prepared for that possibility. If you decide to pay for a new logic board, test thoroughly during the 90-day warranty period on the repair. Some owners have reported that they went through as many as three replacement boards before getting one that worked.
If it's too late for your unit to be repaired free of charge, and you don't want to pay for the service, you may (or may not) be able to stop the panics by disabling automatic graphics switching. To use the discrete graphics processor, you'll need a third-party utility to switch to it manually.
Often the problems start after an OS upgrade. If the upgrade was recent, and you have backups, then you can revert to a previous OS X version.
If you're dissatisfied with Apple's response, please keep in mind that no one here represents the company or can help with customer-service issues.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

Flash video artifacts when using discrete graphics

So I have a 2011 MacBook Pro with Intel and ATI graphics. When watching flash video (YouTube), I have weird artifacting going on when using just discrete graphics. While using Intel graphics, the video usually plays fine, just a little choppy. I am using gfxCardStatus to switch between them. Is this a flash bug or something else? I've added an image to show what I'm talking about.

I don't see any evidence that you used Dreamweaver to insert
the
player. Normally, when you insert Flash with Dreamweaver, it
inserts
code I can readily identify. Did you use GoLive?
The pages you show are consipicuously missing the
<object> code and
the JavaScript that DW uses.
And I don't see any differences in the players. The pages
both link to
files named flvplayer.swf (in different folders) with the
same look and
the same file size. I am late in this thread, so maybe I
missed the
boat.
Anyway, I don't know if this would make a difference with
that player,
but one page uses a relative link to the .flv, while the
other page
uses an absolute link, including
http://. See if changing that one to a
relative link helps.
I only watched about a minute from both pages and, although
872 Kpbs
for the video track is VERY high, I did not see any glitches.
(Did you mean to use two slashes in the second link?)

Intel X3100 + 10.6.3 = video artifacts?

Hi,
Few days ago I upgraded to 10.6.3 and yesterday installed vmware fusion. After that sometimes strange artifacts shows up - http://img15.imageshack.us/i/screenshot20100417at171.png/ . This is Snow Leopard problem or hardware fault?
Thanks,
kristapsb

Well guys, after some research and long time "toilet meditation" I figured out this problem should be caused by 1) bad drivers or 2) some video plugin.
My research suggested that one group with the same hardware and software configuration has the problem and other one has not. So, it had to be some other software that was causing problems.
After reviewing everything on my mac, I found out I was using Flash 10.1 beta. I just changed back to the stable version of Flash 10.0.someting and the problem was instantly solved.
To remove the beta software, use the removing tool available for download on Adobe's website.
Again, sorry for my English.

Encoding (video artifacts)

I'm having trouble with artifacts in the video I import into idvd 6. I am editing HDV in Final Cut Pro 5 and have been exporting my video as a Quicktime Movie. I have also tried using Quicktime conversion, and various codecs but no matter what I do, there are severe artifacts any time there is movement in the video (plays just fine as a Quicktime file though, I only see the artifats in iDVD.
Would appreciate any help!

Hi
Karsten pointed at one important factor NTSC or PAL and keeping the
same setting the whole project trough.
I wonder about - How much free space there is on Your internal hard disk ?
Should be > than 20Gb. Less than 10Gb can give various strange behaviour
like extreme long coding-times and I got some DVDs with strange quality
reductions.
Just a thought from Bengt W

X800 XT Video artifacts! Any help?

I've been wanting to upgrade the video card on my G5 and finally found a good deal on an open box ATI X800 XT Mac Edition video card.
1st generation 2.0ghz G5 running 10.5.6
5.5GB RAM
24" Acer LCD using DVI connector
Immediately after installing, I see artifacts all over the screen. After shutting down and reseating (and still having the problem) I removed the card and put the old card back in. The card was an open box item but the video card was still sealed in the original static bag.
http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/sad05/?action=view&current=X800-1.jpg
http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y259/sad05/?action=view&current=X800-2.jpg
My question: What is causing this?
A brief search online tells me it might be an overheating issue. I removed one of the metal port covers to improve air circulation but that didn't help. The card was very warm when I removed it and had only been in for under 10 minutes.
If it is a heat problem, how can I fix this? Other people with G5s have been able to install this card without immediate heat problems. Why is my G5 different?
I understand there may be a fan I can add to the card to help cool it down?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That card is shot.
Return it pronto.
