Video quality/resolution

I downloaded two videos and was quite dissapointed to find that the resolution is so low. Are these just meant to be played on iPods?
You sure can't watch them full screen on your computer unless you really love blocky pictures.
Especially with the new Apple codec this is quite a letdown.
Any free (at this point) movietrailer on the Apple page is incomparably better!
Question is if I missed something or if it is what it is...
Thx

One starts a "trend" these days and the sheep follow...
Is this Apple's answer to the UMD discs on the PSP?
I mean is anyone seriously watching movies and stuff on these tiny screens?
I don't see how this can be usefull. Ok, it's great to show off...for a week or so, but then it's back to the couch I betcha.
Give me good quality video content to download so that I can watch it on my computer! And, yes, better controls would be nice too!
I don't think the content is only meant for the iPod (watching videos on the iPod...still can't get over that one..) I just watched Steve looking at a downloaded video with his remote controlled iMac G5.

  • 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.

  • Publish+Share signifcantly reduces video quality in Premiere Elements 13

    As the title states, whenever I publish and share a video in Premiere Elements 13, the video quality is drastically reduced to an almost unwatchable level compared to the original video  This is even the case before any effects are added to the video.  If I add the media to the timeline and then directly publish+share before any changes are done, the video quality is still ruined.  When I click play full screen in elements, the quality and resolution is exactly where I want it, but once again, when I share the video, it's essentially destroyed.
    When I play the newly created video there is giant black space above, below and to the sides of the video (where there is none in the original) and movement in the movie causes the video to grain with black lines.
    I have been playing around with settings and researching online for a long time now but I can't seem to find the solution.  What I have been doing is going publish+share, ---> Computer, ---> AVI.  Then in advanced settings the video codec is selected to DV NTSC, and the basic video settings which are locked in (which I can't change) are set to quality 100, width 720, height 480.  The Aspect is D1/DV NTSC (0.9091).  I have selected render at maximum depth.  I have also tried saving it as MPEG and other video types but the result is the same.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I understand that I am new and have lots to learn, but it seams so strange to me that the simple process of putting a video in Elements would essentially destroy it.  Thanks again.

    It was not until Mary Lou Frost posted in your thread today that I realized that I did not see and reply to your questions in post 4 of your thread (dated December 15, 2014). Sorry about that.
    If you want to match up the properties of the export file with the properties of the Timeline source media, often you need to direct your attention to
    a. Publish+Share/Computer/......and trying to match up the video (especially) and audio compressions of the import with those of the export choice.
    b. A frequent cause of a difference between import file size and export file size is the bitrate used by these files. The higher the bitrate, the greater the quality, but
    the larger is the file size. So, trying to match import file and export file bitrates is also on the agenda. See the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and the settings
    there for bitrate. The units for bitrate will be either kbps kilobits per second (also seen as Kbps) or Mbps megabits per second. We can go into that further if necessary.
    Premiere Elements allows for the setting of one project preset which should match the properties of the source files. If you have "mixed source files", setting up the
    project can become a challenge. The rule of thumb that I typically use involves setting priorities...
    1. If videos and stills, I will set for the properties of the video and then size (or let the project size) the still to the frame size of the video
    2. If just stills, I try for 1920 x 1080 stills and import them using a DLSR 1080p project preset...that seems to give sharper end product results when doing burn to disc.
    Please review and consider and let me know if I have targeted your questions. Any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I try to respond daily to questions, so, if you do not see a timely, response, please send me an Adobe Forum private message asking me "What happened to you?".
    Best wishes.

  • Did Apple fix the video quality issue in iMovie '09?

    I am a casual video editor and iMovie 08 had the perfect user experience / functionality for what I want to do.
    However, the known video quality issue (throwing away interlaced scan lines) made the result unacceptable since I archive our family video on DVDs. I have been forced to use iMovie HD for that reason. I have tried tricks such as converting the original DV files to AIF and deinterlace prior to import into iMovie08 but that did not seem to work either.
    So does anyone know if Apple fixed the video quality issue in iMovie '09.
    MESSAGE TO APPLE IF YOU ARE LISTENING:
    Please fix the video quality in iMovie09 if not already. Yes, the quality is ok for YouTube or Internet video but for those of us who want simple editing to archive our family video we cannot accept poor video quality. Dropping an interlace field effectively halves the vertical resolution. Thank you.

    Please explain this in more detail when you say Adaptive Deinterlacer. Are you talking about another program? If so, what program and what are the specific steps.
    Also, sounds like you are recommending imovie09. By saying to do the above, are you saying imovie09 still causes you too loose significant quality like imovie08? Are you saying you can use imovie08 or imovie09 with these steps to get high quality video or just imovie09? I guess I just need more specifics on how you do what you are describing and how imovie09 fits into this versus imovie08. I joined this whole discussion trying to figure out if upgrading imovie09 made a difference regarding the whole quality issue. I know it has more features, but I am more concerned about he quality of the video right now. Thanks.

  • Video quality of burned DVD way inferior to content viewed in iDVD program

    I notice the video and menu quality on my burned DVD is VASTLY inferior to video and menu quality when viewing menus and content in the iDVD program while building the presentation.
    Having encoded at "Professional Quality" to a single layer DVD which didn't look so good, a number of posts in this forum suggested that "Best Performance" actually renders the best video quality.
    I'm using high-quality media from Verbatim so that's not a problem. The DVD's burn fine.
    The content -- all high-quality QT movies with great resolution, color and crisp text and animation, look great in and of themselves, and when viewed in the iDVD program. The menus and clips embedded in the scene select buttons, all look crisp and clean.
    Burned to DVD however, the video looks noticeably "worn" and the clips in the buttons lack any kind of crispness or resolution. Definitely disappointing. The animations look herky-jerky.
    Anyone know what the problem is?

    Hi
    No iDVD has a fixed quality - as old time TVs
    • PAL 625 lines (720x576)
    • NTSC 520 lines (720x480)
    so Your Mac screen are way higher resolution.
    There are NO HD version of iDVD - yet
    *DVD bad quality*
    copy of an answer on a similar question - may be of help
    the iMovie 08 & 09 don't apply
    There are two problems in this question.
    • iDVD
    • iMovie'08 or 09
    iDVD - can only handle Standard definition TV quality - NO version can handle HD !
    SD-TV
    EU - PAL system = 625 lines analog display (no pixles) 25fps
    US - NTSC system = 520 lines and 29.97 fps
    That's the best iDVD can do.
    iMovie up to version HD 6 - could handle interlaced video (displaying every second line
    first then start over with the rest - 25fps = 50 frames of interlaced video
    less flickering.
    iMovie'08 and 09 has destroyed this by deleting every second line
    Result a resolution of
    PAL 312 lines
    NTSC 260 lines
    So photos displayed this way will look crappy.
    Improvment
    Use iMovie HD 6 or FinalCut Express or Pro
    Else only way I know of to get "full" quality is by using other tools all together.
    Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro (incl BR-component) and here the included FotoMagico™ for SlideShows.
    Toast™ also can burn Blue-Ray - even on standard DVD (but much less eg 20 min movie)
    These BR-DVDs Can only be playbacked on a Blue-Ray Player (eg PlayStation 3)
    But they look super.
    A more specific part reg. FinalCut
    I do in FC-Express or Pro
    • Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
    • Not selfcontained (not important but saves time and spaces)
    • NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (Important)
    I use
    • Verbatim DVD-R disks
    • Burn at a reduced speed x1 or x4 recommended by many)
    • Secure a minimum of 25Gb free space on internal boot hard disk for 4x3 SD video
    and my guess is that I would secure 5 - 6 times more for 16x9 HD
    (Still no version of iDVD can do HD)

  • Bad video quality of final product when viewing on computer in full screen

    It looks like a picture does when you blow it up and it's a low quality image. Everything I'm reading says the problem would be with the video capture...but I have the same bad quality when I'm viewing the menu! Around all the text on the menu, it's fuzzy and same with my video on the menu. So are my video clips in the movie itself.
    I have tried playing it on Windows Media Player, the apple DVD program, and WinDVD and I get the same problem when I view it on full screen.
    I assume my family will mostly be playing it on a TV. Do you think it will play properly or worse on a TV? I don't actually have a DVD player myself to test it out. Any suggestions on why this could be happening?
    Thanks!

    when I started using iDVD, one of the hardest adjustments for me to make was video quality on TV screen vs on computer screen. (I am used to satellite to S-Video TV and HD screens on my computer.)
    My camera it a miniDV, and playback via SVideo to an Svideo TV screen is awesome.
    I was sorely disappointed when I played the same tape back on the computer. It was grainy/fuzzy, etc. Same with the DVD I made.
    But when I played the DVD back on the TV, the image quality was the same as when I connected the camera to the TV - crisp, sharp, video and text.
    I've since burned numerous DVDs, and the result is always the same - blah on the computer, sharp on the TV.
    As someone else in this thread stated, the average TV is low-res compared to the computer screen.
    If I recall the spec correctly, standard NTSC is 240 line, SVideo is up to 500 line. HD is 720 line and higher...ergo an NTSC source is roughly 1/2 the resolution of the typical CPU screen, or 1/3 the resolution of low end HD screens. So yes, NTSC output on your computer screen will always be fuzzy compared to your TV screen.
    I think you will likely be very pleased with the DVD when you playback on your TV.

  • Apple tv video quality vs hd tv and high def dvd's

    ok...i know it supports 1080i, but does the video quality of video in itunes really look good compared against say a blu-ray disc, or hdtv signals? i'm sure it will get better (with a hardware or software upgrade?) if its not close to high def quality but want to know what i'm in store for if i buy appletv now...thanks. PS: i currently have directv HD and a ps3 for blu-ray, and my tv's are all HD...

    Based on my own testing, the distinctions between an HD-DVD movie (which are true 1080) and an Apple TV video converted as its own maximum settings (which is 720) is actually quite noticeable if you have a 1080 TV set, but at the same I don't consider it a show-stopper. I watch a lot of HD broadcast content that's only 720p, and it's still very good.
    An HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD will normally be in 1920 x 1080 resolution (1080p or 1080i, generally depending on your equipment). The Apple TV's maximum resolution is 1280 x 720 (basically 720p). Therefore, even an original HD-DVD or Blu-Ray DVD converted to Apple TV will need to be scaled down to 720p for display on the Apple TV.
    Further, Elgato EyeTV actually scales these down somewhat lower, so HDTV recorded content could be even worse-off, depending on the original source. The standard Apple TV export settings use a 960 x 540 frame in order to keep the bit-rate and frame rate within tolerances (since a 720p signal is approximately 60fps, and the bitrates will generally exceed 5-6 mbps, which pushes the limits of the Apple TV).
    Even more interestingly, Elgato's new turbo.264 dongle will only encode in "Apple TV" format at a maximum resolution of 800 x 600 (and if you do the math you will realize that this will be considerably less for a 16:9 aspect ratio video).
    The result is that videos converted from an EyeTV Hybrid are technically much worse off on the Apple TV than viewing the original source material. Whether this is significant enough to be noticeable will depend on your output medium, but on my 62" DLP, the difference is quite apparent (although still far superior to an SDTV signal).
    You can get 1280 x 720 content to play back at 60fps at 5mbps bit-rates on the Apple TV by using ffmpeg-based encoders and manually selecting higher settings, although it's been hit-and-miss in my own testing, and of course it creates gargantuan files. Elgato and others have obviously tried to stay with the more conservative settings to ensure that they can guarantee the broadcast possible range of support.
    In fact, although most of the standard encoder settings max out at 2.5-3.0 mbps, I've successfully pushed up to 6 mbps through the Apple TV, although such content has to be synced rather than streamed, since even an 802.11n network has a hard time keeping up (it worked, but there were some drop-outs and glitches in the process). Of course, 6mbps content is going to fill up the Apple TV hard drive pretty quickly as well (you'd only be able to fit around 11 hours on the internal 40GB hard drive).
    The other thing to keep in mind with DVD movies is that they come from film, which is a 24fps source (based on the physical nature of film). As a result, the distinctions between a 720p and 1080i signal are less prevalant when dealing with film content, since you won't get the full 60fps HDTV capabilities anyway. Interlacing can still create some nasty side-effects, but it's far less of an issue when you're dealing with less than half of the normal frames.
    In my own experiences, I have an Apple TV that is connected to a 1080p upscaling DLP TV (native 1080i input, internalized de-interlacing), and a second Apple TV that is connected to a 720p LCD TV. With the first Apple TV, I can notice the difference between 720p and 1080i output settings only when viewing photos, since the remainder of the standard content doesn't exceed 720p anyway. Further, because my TV de-interlaces a 1080i signal to 1080p, I don't get the flicker that is normally associated with a 1080i signal.
    On the second Apple TV, I leave the setting to 720p, since that's the native resolution of the second TV, and I get noticeable interlacing-based flickering on the 1080i, particularly with photo slideshows (mostly in the transitions).

  • URGENT - Screen Capture Video Quality

    Hi,
    I need to create a movie for a client that shows the computer system that was developed for them.  The system is a web application and is accessed using Internet Explorer.  I need to be able to put the movie onto a dvd for viewing at various client locations.
    I created a number of screen capture videos using Snagit 9 showing the user experience in Internet Explorer.  I took these with my screen resolution at 1440x900 and, when I put them into my Premiere Elements project that is setup as a NTSC DV format, the video quality is unreadable.  I have tried to use several tools to compress the video to a size that is lower than the 720x480 resolution of my NTSC DV format Premiere project and the files themselves look great when I view them using Windows Media player.  However, when I add the files to Adobe Premiere they become extremely blurry regardless of whether I've scaled the video or not.  I have tried different aspect ratios in the Interpret Footage and have even removed the scale to frame option.
    Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong or how I can fix this problem?  I need to have this video completed for tomorrow evening and am stuck with the illegible screen capture videos.  Please help.
    Thanks,
    Scot

    Burn your project to DVD (or first to a folder then onto DVD) and see how it looks on a standalone DVD player. It may be a problem with your screen resolutions v native resolutions, or a lack of preview rendering (is there a red line above your timeline - if so press enter).
    On top of this you have the absolute problem that your are asking PRE to reduce from a 1440 x 900 screen resolution to a 720x480 DVD format. How well it does this you'll really only see by burning a DVD - but if it doesn't look good enough  you might consider using a 800 x 600 screen resolution to record your screen captures and reduce the amount of downscaling PRE does.
    Which Snagit Export format did you use to import to PRE? What other export formats are available?
    Cheers,
    Neale

  • Having problems with video quality in iDVD 09

    I have created a slide show in iMovie with audio. When saved it is in a .mov format. I burned it to DVD using the burn folder option. It has great video quality in that format. Since most DVD players won't accept the .mov format or some PC's, I wanted the most common format for viewing. I exported the movie to iDVD and used these settings..
    Video Mode-NTSC
    Aspect Ration 16:9 widescreen
    Encoding-Professional Quality
    DVD Type-Single-Layer (SL)-4.2 GB
    When going from the .mov format to the MPEG-2 format ( I think this is the output format for iDVD)
    The quality is very poor. It seems to have wavy lines throughout the file, especially when someone is wearing patterned clothing.
    Anyone know how to get the same quality of the .mov file to something that will be viewable across multiple platforms???
    Would using moviegate conversion software be an answer????

    a mov can contain all kind of codecs and esp. resolutions..
    a videoDVD, by standards, has a 720x480 res, and is interlaced.
    => quality HAS to be 'lower' than any 5Mpix on a HiDef computer screen..
    but, I did tons of slideshows with iMHD6 and iDVD.. for me, quality is superb.. for sure, tiny 'checker patterns', 'sub pixel lines' etc. HAVE to flimmer..

  • Why is the video quality for AVCHD when uploaded to youtube higher...

    when submitted from a mac?
    #1
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8d-fQxdBmQ
    I sent this video directly from my Macbook using iMovie 8.0 and that's the video quality results
    #2
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U3dDmAX7C0
    I uploaded this using Adobe Premirere Pro CS 4 H.264 - youtube HD widescreen preset and those were the results...?
    Why?

    "I suspect you simply didnt wait long enough for youtube to fully process  the video before you watched it."
    Incorrect. After I uploaded the second video, I went to sleep, without watching it once.
    So if I set the 2nd video to low resolution, would it end up looking like the first video? Because I still think the first video has better quality.

  • 30" cinema display video quality

    Just wondering. Maybe its just me but the video quality on the 30" when I'm playing a dvd isn't the greatest. I was expecting a lot more. The image is quite pixelated. Is it the monitor or the dvd or the G5 or everything. I would have thought a monitor would have superior image quality over any other screen.

    please realize that DVD's use a resolution of 720x480, your 30" display is 2560x1920 or something like that, so when you are running a DVD full screen of course it is not going to look to hot.
    That is just how it goes unfortunately.
    Unless you have it connected to a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player, etc. runnint at 1080p (1920x1080) DVD's are not going to look like they would on a lower resolution TV.
    Until they release DVD's at a resolution of 2560x1920 or higher, you aren't going to see super quality video from a DVD, on that display.
    hope that answers your question. it is not just you either, DVD's don't look very good on basically any computer screen out their actually, the resolution is just much much lower unfortunately.

  • Macbook air 2013 video quality is poor?

    I just purchased this laptop and the video quality seems, overall, dull. I was expecting an exremely smooth resolution, but when I play videos form youtube on full screen, the image is not defined and clear. I have run the available updates and I have changed quality details on the actual youtube video, but nothing changes.

    can you post a screen shot.
    Also.....as stated....process of elimination ...
    watch a ITUNES movie PREVIEW of a recent high definition movie as a test.

  • Video quality is less than expected when playing inside Flash

    iam using flv video. i played it back in many ways , with flv player that comes with flash ,as embedded in the time line and using external class that use  NetStream ,the video quality was less than playing the same video  outside the flash invironment using any  stand  alone video player like media player classic .
    why is that happening , did i miss some thing ?
    is there a setting  that i should do to play hd video in high quality ?
    i have tried setting stage.quality to BEST but it didn't affect the video quality ?
    any help  ?

    can't I just change the "Easy Setup" settings so it would work without degrading the input and subsequently the output? Sorry, I don't quite grasp "fixed-resolution" yet so may be asking something that doesn't have an answer.
    FCE only works with certain presets available in the Easy Setup menu. If your footage isn't one of these resolutions then FCE will conform it to the sequence you have selected, downgrading the footage in the process. Final Cut Pro gives you the option to make a sequence set to the dimensions you want it to be, without worrying about whether your image matches a preset.

  • Video quality bad!

    Ok, so I bought my 30GB iPod video like close to a month ago. Just a few weeks ago i threw some movies on it, but the video quality is horrible. Well not with resolution or anything, because the video is detailed. But it has black x-ray looking resolution in shadows and stuff. All that comes in normal and clear is well lighted parts of the movie and CGI such as lightsabers in Star Wars show up excellent. But I put a movie King Arthur on it which is a very shadowy movie (not very abundant in bright colors anyway) and I can't watch any of it cause its all like black. Can I take the iPod back because I put the same movies on my sisters exact model of iPod and it looks fabulous. I'm sick of being jealous of hers so I want mine fixed! Any advice!?

    Yup! sounds like a manufacturing problem. take it bck and give em **** until the take it and give you your money/give you a new one just to get you to shut up. thats the only way to get things now adays.

  • Poor Audio and Video Quality

    Using IDVD to burn iMovie containing pictures and music and am getting very poor quality audio and video. The video is very low resolution, lacking clarity and definition, and the audio comes out really flat with over-saturated vocals that is unpleasant to listen to.
    The content was made from iMovie 11, importing photos from iPhoto and iTunes music.
    I exported the movie via Share->Export Movie-> HD 1080P
    In iDVD 7.1.2 I imported the movie (actually several) into a slideshow menu item.
    I used the iDVD encoding preferences set at 'Best Performance' and 'Professional Quality' with no difference between the two
    Then to ensure it wasn't the DVD disk causing the problem, I used the 'Save as Disc Image', and validated the file image saved to disk had the same quality issues as the burned DVD.
    Then to eliminate the iMovie as the problem, ran a test and used an iPhoto slideshow in place of the iMovie, and it also has the same low quality issues.
    I have observed that using the iDVD viewing capabilities, the A/V quality is fine. Its after the burn to disk the problem occurs.
    At this point I'm not sure what to try. I'm viewing the DVD on my 50" widescreen TV using Sony DVD player.
    A year or so back I did similar steps and the DVD came out fine... the sound quality was excellent and the video quality while not outstanding, was reasonable.
    Any ideas -- I'm really stumped.
