Video Quality over 3g and Wifi

I just noticed that the iphone has a wonderful screen!! THats until......
You go to the youtube app and decide to watch the videos you just uploaded from your iphone! Or any video for that fact......
try this watch a video over 3g........... nice and grainy huh?
Then watch the same video over wifi........right now you might say ***
Thats what I said....even more embarrassing having a friend pull out their iphone 3gs and the video looks exactly like it does on wifi on the iphone 4 minus the pixel couont.
Whos to blame? This seems unbelievable. I know of the Truveo app....
But really is google flexing their muscle? Att? For now when people ask to see my amazing screen. I have to show them a video i bought from itunes and not on youtube........
SMart!!!!!

Instead of using the app go to m.YouTube.com. You can watch videos in HD on 3G or wifi. Then just bookmark to your homescreen and use that instead of the YouTube app. I never use the YouTube app. It looms like crap.

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

Bad video quality over WiFi?

iChat seems to be trying to out-think me by lowering iChat video quality when it's on WiFi, but using great video when I'm on ethernet. This seems silly, since I have great WiFi connectivity, but I can't seem to disable the behavior. Does anyone know how to disable iChat's WiFi preferences?
More details:
I'm on an 802.11g WiFi network through an AEBS with "full bars" and the quality looks terrible over Bonjour to someone else on the LAN (wired or wireless). As soon as I disable AirPort and plug in to wired Ethernet, making no other changes other than restarting iChat, the quality looks fantastic.
My WiFi speed is always in the tens of megabits per second, with ping latencies below 1ms to the other clients, so it should be plenty fast.
Ideas?

I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality. Now if I can just get it all working again following the upgrade to Leopard 10.5.1.
FYI: I have even used iChat AV on Tiger using DUN on my Treo650 (Sprint), which worked fine as well.

Bad video quality with AMS and Citrix

Some clients connects to our network with vpn Citrix and get the screen presentet from Citrix.
The video quality is bad, choppy and sound out of sync.
Is it possible to set a specific quality for clients connecting with Citrix in AMS?
Do you have a best practice when using Citrix.

Hi Drago
It is very bad situation. Toshiba with every notebook must offer functioning product and because of that offer tested drivers. Those drivers are adapted for each notebook model and also have protecting function. That means the graphic card will not be forced to run on the highest level.
As you can see with original driver you have problems playing some games. For me it is nothing unusual for mobile computers. Problem is that every modified driver is not supported and tested by notebook manufacturer. I recommend you to use tested Toshiba driver. At the end maybe you must make compromise between gaming and watching movies.
By the way: are original DVD movies also so bad while you use preinstalled WinDVD?

Video transport over network and missing classes

hi everyone,
i found a way to send and receive video over the network but it doesn't work.
can you help to find any documentation or book or a piece of code for this work?
also there is another problem.
i have downloaded the documentation of jmf twice.
but i cannot find the classes RTPManager and CaptureUtil.
the platform(netbeans 6.0) which i work finds these two classes but i can't find them inside the documentation.
am i doing sth wrong?

I have a media box connected to my TV in the living room (via ethernet) and some times I like to watch movies or such in my bedroom. I've noticed for higher quality videos sometimes wifi just can't handle the throughput required.
I like VLC but quicktime (by default) seems better at buffering and dealing with slow connections, you might have to resort to using ethernet though.

IMac 24" video quality issue (streaming and non)

I have searched the forums extensively and not found anything that quite matches the issue I'm currently having. If you know there's a previous thread with a solution please direct me there.
This issue first popped up when I tried to watch the season finale of 30 Rock on Hulu: the focal points of the scene weren't as sharp, everything in the background seemed seemed to pixelate intermittently and if there was any kind of motion, there was pixelation around that. I chalked it up to Hulu's new player, especially since anything else I watched on Hulu had all the same attributes.
Then, after taking a break from not using my Netflix, I noticed that anything I streamed on there did the same things. I checked my ISP download speed and it was 20mbps (way above the suggested amount for DVD-quality picture). It also seemed fishy that when streaming Netflix through my Xbox 360 (and the same router), everything looked beyond crisp.
The final straw came playing DVDs. I noticed some of that same degredation around motion that plagued the other two examples, although on a much smaller scale (my assumption being that the quality starts out much hire from a DVD source than streaming).
Has any one ever had this issue? The machine is not even 2 years old yet (Purchased March 2008).
Thanks in advance for any and all responses,
Leo

The general question of whether to use interlaced footage is a topic for another forum (e.g. the Video Lounge) but one thing to bear in mind when embedding video into PDFs is that it won't usually play at 1:1 pixel scale. Resampling will occur, and that can introduce visual effects.
You have two options to make the video play at '100% size' - either set the Rich Media Annotation to play in a floating window and define it to match the footage dimensions, or use a custom version of the videoPlayer widget that turns off scaling.

Video transmitting over TCP, and play

Hi all
I have to build a video chat application.
I want to get video data from a webcam, compress the data, send the compressed data to a TCP port of a server (live).
Then the second user is connecting to the server, the server send them the data (live), and the user has to be able to play the video.
How can I do that?

Dear Waseem, i am also using AVTransmit and AVReceive for transmittig audio and video over\ a network.
Now problem is how can give the address of audio i.e. javasound://44100 when i have already given the address of video i.e. vfw://0.
So how can i transmit audio at the same tim when using webcam.
thanks.

Video calling over 3rd party apps

As an avid apple believer I want to do everything with my apple products, including make video calls to my parents overseas. Now while I understand that apple is bringing facetime to 3g in the furture for now no such luck. Normally there is "an app for that" but there isn't any third party video calling app for Iphone 4. What are my options.

Accessible through either iTunes App Store or from the iPhone App Store:
Tango: Supports both iPhone 4 and Android phones. Video calling over 3G and WIFI. Easy set up and access your contact list showing who you can video call. No desktop version at this time.
Skype: Supports iPhone 4 and soon to support Android phones. Video calling over 3G and WIFI. Requires registration with Skype. Offers desktop version. Provides options for discounted international voice calls to landlines and cellphones.
As for FaceTime Apple should seriously reconsider updating the iOS to support video calling over 3G instead of just WIFI which is not readily available. Most international carriers already support HSPA+ which provides sufficient bandwidth and speed to allow video calling over 3G as already proven by Tango and Skype.

Will ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G?

Will there be improved video quality on youtube and other video streaming on 4G compared to existing 3G connctions? The ipad appears to dumb down video streaming in 3G compared to streaming the same thing on wifi. It is often highly pixelated and blocky, Will the new ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G, i.e. the same quality as wi-fi?

The YouTube app is made by Google. Any suggestions you have about that app should be directed to them.

Video quality from ipod touch over wifi

It is to my understanding that you can watch video (downloaded from itunes and home video made with ipod touch) through apple tv 2. How is the quality of it, 720p HD or does it get distorted going from little to big screen? Does that include music videos downloaded from itunes?

Providing the content on the iPod is 720p then it will be 720p when streamed via airplay to the Apple TV.
Yes Music videos in iTunes will stream to the Apple TV.

Bad video quality on Atom over Internet, but not o...

I have an Asus netbook with a 1.66GHz Atom, 1GB DDR3, and XP. The video quality when in a call over the Internet is almost always bad, and Skype complains the computer is "slow". There is no virus scanner or any other garbage running that sucks up resources. I keep it lean.
So I tried using a different computer to make the call; an 8 year old Sempron laptop, also with XP and 2.2GHz or close to that. Video quality is great. So it's obviously a computer performance issue, right?
It gets stranger. I set up a video call between these two computers over my LAN (i.e. within the same house). Video quality is great on both.
The results have been similar over a span of a year or more, calling people in different parts of the country, and even dropping Wifi and using a cable.
So what causes Skype to think the computer is slow when video calling over the Internet, but not when calling another computer on the same LAN? I have a theory, but I'll hold that thought for right now.

I have been using iChat exclusively over WiFi (Airport Extreme) from my iMac, and via Ethernet and WiFi from my Powerbook. I have not had any quality issues when connecting in this manner. Connections within my local network from WiFi to WiFi, as well as to outside connections over Broadband have all been of very good quality.

MacMini - LG 32" (32LB75) Problem - Poor video quality and now no picture.

Hi there, apologies for the length of this post....
I purchased a mac mini 1.8Ghz with 2Gb RAM yesterday with a wireless keyboard and mouse and hooked it up to my 32" LG 32LB75 using VGA. On startup the display looked ok, I managed to click through the various Leopard initialisations. I bought the machine for use as a front room media player for mainly DivX movies and the occasional bit of music.
Once I had installed the DivX codec I opened a DivX file in Quicktime and selected "full screen mode." As soon as the movie started I became quite disappointed. The picture quality was quite pixelated ("noisy") and certainly not as good as when I play the same movie file from my old dell PC on the same LG tv (the dell PC has a 64Mb PCI radeon 7000 which connects to the tv using the same VGA port as the mac).
Anyway just to give the mac a fair go I thought I would try out some genuine quicktime video samples from the itunes store (this time viewed from front row)....again not brilliant.
So I thought I would investigate the screen resolution to see if I could improve things. It appeared the resolution was set to 1900 by 1200ish I say "ish" because I can't remember exactly. I then attempted to reduce the resolution and eventually I settled on one that looked quite clear with the font size big enough to be easily read. Again I tried the movie and there wasn't much (if any improvement). Whilst changing resolutions the screen would go blank for a few seconds but on one particular setting (can't remember exact numbers) the display went blank and never came back. The tv now just displays "no signal".
I despaired and connected the mac to a 17" Iiyama montior that I use with a PC and it worked ok. However each time I tried to "hot swap" back to the television I would end up with no picture.
I'm really disappointed because everything else about the mac I really like. Particularly the remote for frontrow which is precisely what I wanted it for. The problem is I've spent over £500 and now seem to have a lesser quality picture than I had to begin with (ignoring for the moment that I don't have any picture!!)
Anyway my questions are these, answers to any or all most appreciated.
1) what is the easiest way to get my mini to start displaying on my tv again?
2) what would the optimum resolution be? My television mentions 1366 x 768 in the manual
3) If the mini doesn't offer this resolution in the pick list is it advisable to "force it" using some alternative software (ie 3dexpress.de)?
4) Is the video quality affected by the software player? ie would VLC give better picture with DivX over quicktime/itunes/front row?
5) How likely is it that the video resolution of my new mac mini isn't "as good" as my old dell machine with its PCI graphics card?
6) Finally if I don't get results as good as my existing PC setup, how accomodating are apple with refunds? I bought it from a UK high-street apple store. The back of the receipt mentions a "14 day not satisfied" return policy but then goes on to say something about being "unopened"...which seems a little confusing. Ie how do you know if you're satisfied until you've actually used it?

Hi there
the solution was to remove the various display config files in leopard and then restart the machine, this got my display back on the tv (albeit off centre). To fix the "off centre issue" I used the LG "auto correct" feature from the remote control "menu > screen" options.
The apple support site describes how to remove the affected leopard display files here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2213?viewlocale=en_US As you will see their resolution consists of 2 main steps, the first one involves starting your machine in safe mode, if this doesn't work then you proceed to the second step where you remove the files using a terminal prompt.
I didn't bother with the first step mainly because I don't think I can start my mac in safe mode since my only keyboard is wireless (bluetooth). So I connected the mac mini to a 17" LCD monitor (which thankfully did display the video signal ok) and removed all the listed files using terminal. I then shut the mac down, swapped the VGA cable back to the LCD tv restarted the mac and it detected the tv and set a resolution that worked. I then very carefully reduced the resolution down to one that was recommended by my tv (1300ish.. x 768ish??).
At this point I was back to having an acceptable signal but still a little off centre. So I used the TV remote, pressed menu, went into screen options and chose "auto correct". Picture then filled the screen perfectly.
The problem seems to be, leopard lists a bunch of resolutions that it believes your tv/display can handle but it would appear that in fact some of these resolutions are not supported by your TV and if you choose one of these your signal disappears and you can't get it back.
I would still say that I'm not 100% convinced with the mac mini's onboard graphics (I have a 1.8GHz version). I'm going to download some HD content and see if that improves things, but certainly my existing DivX collection looked a little sharper and clearer and better coloured using my old dell PC with its radeon PCI card. But the difference in picture quality is outweighed by the convenience of its size and the font row interface. I might tinker with putting Windows Media Center on it one day, perhaps that might improve things.

Video quality difficulties with Vimeo and Youtube sites and with smart phone

Ever since the Vimeo and Youtube sites have changed, it has been pretty difficult to get the video quality I had before. I'm using Final Cut Express to edit, Quicktime Player to resize the video to 640x480 (is too wide when saving FCE project as Quicktime movie), and Jes Deinterlacer to remove all of the jaggies that the original deinterlacing on FCE doesn't fully do (skateboarding video). I'm aware Final Cut Express 4 is a discontinued product, and Apple support over the phone can't help me. The quality is TERRIBLE on my smart phone, and used to be really good before the site changed. The Vimeo app played my videos very clear. I'm using a MyTouch smart phone. I want to know if the quality being bad on mobile is because of the sites being changed, and if there is anything I can do to get the quality I want. I've worked on this the past three weeks, and this is my final option, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here are the steps I'm using to export (still trying more export options in Jes Deinterlacer).
Step 1: In FCE, click "File", "Export", "Quicktime Movie". In "Include:", choose "Audio and Video", "All Markers" for "Markers:", and check box "Make Movie Self-Contained".
Step 2: Open file in QT Player. Click "Window" (at the top between "View" and "Help"), and choose "Show Movie Properties". Click "Video Track", and click "Visual Settings". Change the dimensions (which are supposed to be 720x480 4:3 but the video is stretched). Enter "640 x 480" for "Scaled Size:", then same with "Offset:" Keep "Preserve Aspect Ratio" unchecked, then when finished entering numbers check it (doesn't let you uncheck it which would be best). Check the "High Quality" box if it hasn't already been checked. Close the window, and click "File", and then "Save".
Step 3: Open file in Jes Deinterlacer. In "Input", check box "Reinterlace Chroma", choose "Video range", and check "Remove Jaggies". For "Project", choose "Deinterlace" and "Use Bottom Field". Check "Adaptive", "Local", and "Filter Chroma". In "Output", choose "Video range". Choose "Export", and "Mpeg-4". For "File Format:" choose "MP4", for "Video Format:" choose "H.264", and for "Data Rate:" enter "2000" for "kbits/sec". Leave "Optimized for:" "Download" as is. Choose "640x480 VGA" for "Image Size:", and "Current" for "Frame Rate:". For "Key Frame:" choose "Every", and enter "24" for "frames". Click "Video Options". Leave the "Main" box checked, and check "Baseline" for "Restrict Profile(s) to:". Choose "Best Quality (Multi-pass)" for "Encoding Mode:". Click "Ok". Click "Audio" (since done with "Video"). For "Audio Format:" choose "AAC-LC (Music), for "Data Rate:" choose "320 kbps", for "Channels:" leave as "Stereo", for "Output Sample Rate:" choose "44.100 kHz", and for "Encoding Quality:" choose "Best". Click "Ok" (leave "Streaming" alone).

First, I would do a Search on this forum for "FRAPS." There are several articles with comments on the best workflow and also settings for Import and for Export.
Next, YouTube is trobulesome. First, they re-encode everything and their specs seem to change weekly. It's tough to find out what they want on any given day. I'd go to their site and get the very latest instructions and attempt to duplicate those perfectly, knowing that they might be different tomorrow.
Good luck with this one, and good luck with the FRAPS footage.

Airplay Video quality and buffering

I'm new to apple TV and am trying to watch my home movies (holidays etc) over airpay. However, I've found that if I try to watch in Full HD there's a considerable amount of buffering (2-3 mins) before the movie will start to play, and if I skip if buffers again. Basically is seems any file over 1.2GB struggles. I can convert the video using a lower bitrate etc which reduces the file size, but then obviously you lose quality.
Is there a way of playing Full HD video of large file sizes without buffering, or a way of compressing the video files without losing picture quality? I've tried MP4 and .MOV but the file sizes are very large.
TIA

Thanks for the help, but this did not solve my problem. I have found a workaround though which is satisfactory.
What I've found that ideally the bitrate needs to be around 15, 20 and above it struggles regardless of file size. I tried converting with wondershare with a lower bitrate (eg original bitrate 23, converted 15) but the quality was noticeably worse. I tried passthrough using quicktime pro 7, but as you'd expect the bitrate didn't alter.
What I found by trial and error was to open the original .mov file using quicktime player 10 (10.2), go to file > Export and in the format dropdown select 1080p. The exported movie has a lower bitrate with no/VERY VERY little loss in video quality. These then play over airplay with no lag/buffering
