Video resolution preference

This is a question about the iPhone but it relates to how the iPhone operates differently than the AppleTV. Here's a picture of how I have our AppleTVs at home configured:
Although we use nothing but HD TVs, I prefer standard resolution -- I don't really see that much of a difference, and it's cheaper to go with standard, so that's the way I prefer to operate. Because I have my AppleTV configured this way, if I were going to buy a movie or TV season pass on the TV, it would do it in standard resolution.
My question is: does anyone know of a way to configure the iPhone to work like this as well? I've looked in the iTunes & App Store settings and Video settings, and neither of them have a resolution preference option. I can use the "Also Available in SD" link at the bottom of a movie or season pass window to switch over to SD purchase price, but it's annoying to have to do that all the time when I'd rather just set my preference permanently to standard resolution.

Poor video resolution??

I've got a mac mini with iSight that works beautifully with my sister and her iMac. I bought a new iSight for my father-in-law and am setting it up for him. However, the video resolution that he receives, and sends out, is extremely poor. Lots of pixelating going on, even on apple's test servers. I just tried with my sister, with the same results. The video I see is zoomed in, and poor. This is on a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 with Mac OS X 10.3.9. I did a speed test with 384 kbps down, and 118 up for results. Bandwith limit is none, and I set the quicktime system preferences setting too. Any ideas on setttings to change? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Tracy
iSight - iChat 2.1 (v153) Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Hi tagalloway,
OK this is iChat 2 we are talking about (According to your Specs)
This means that iChat will take about 80% of the Bandwidth it can find.
Now the incoming pic is based on the download speed but does have a relation to your Upload speed -it tries to balance the two - in this case that is 118kbps (80% of that is close to the 100kbps practical minimum).
I would try several things.
Increase the lighting.
Point the camera at something else and see if it refocuses.
Put you hand right up to the camera then pull it back to the distance you face is away from it and see if that does the same.
Make sure no other app is running such as Mail or Web browsing.

Force boot to universal video resolution?

I have a G4 running OS9 and it boots fine. It displays a video image until late in the boot sequence when the screen goes black. This condition occured after I chose a video resolution that the LCD display apparently does not support. It would seem that the G4 is remembering that setting and I can't change it because the screen is black. I have switched to another monitor where all is well, but the problem persists if I return to the problematic monitor.
Is there a way to force the Mac to boot at 640 x 480 or some other universal resolution?

Hi, iBob -
Try this sequence.
While booted using the monitor you can use, throw away these preference files - Display Preferences and Monitors Preferences (both can be found in Preferences in System Folder; the second is in a folder named Monitors Preferences in Preferences).
Empty the Trash, then immediately shut down.
Swap monitors.
Boot the machine - zap (reset) the PRAM on this startup. To do that, immediately upon booting press the Command-Option-P-R keys, keep them held down until you've heard three additional sets of startup chimes. Then release the keys and let startup resume.
This should result in the machine booting using the hardware default resolution, which is either 640x480 or 800x600 depending on model.
Once it has finished booting you should then be able to make any needed adjustments in the Monitors control panel.

Change the video resolution when capturing a WEB-cameras

Language: Java
It is used in addition: JMF
When capturing video from WEB-cameras with JMF - getting the video is at the lowest resolution.
Can you please tell how to change the video resolution?
The code by which the captured image (no SWING-forms):
MediaLocator getWebCam = new MediaLocator("vfw://0");
private Player player;
Timer timer = new Timer(40, this);
public BufferedImage grabFrameImage() {
Image image = null;
FrameGrabbingControl frameGrabbingControl = null;
if (player != null)
frameGrabbingControl = (FrameGrabbingControl) player.getControl("javax.media.control.FrameGrabbingControl");
Buffer buffer = frameGrabbingControl.grabFrame();
if (buffer != null)
image = new BufferToImage((VideoFormat) buffer.getFormat()).createImage(buffer);
if (image != null)
return (BufferedImage) image;
return null;
public WorkWithWebCam() throws NoDataSourceException, IOException, NoPlayerException {
initComponents();
player = Manager.createPlayer(Manager.createDataSource(getWebCam));
player.start();
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
timer.start();
public static void main(String args[]) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try{
new WorkWithWebCam().setVisible(true);
}catch(Exception ex){}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
panelMain.getGraphics().drawImage(this.grabFrameImage(), 0, 0, 400, 300, null);
P.S. Can you please tell how this forum can be identified code \ listing?

Hello,
I don't know if there is a way to change the video. But I think you can easily use your own videos by using a local .mpg or .3gp file via InputStream. Just change the player's parameters in video/mpg instead of capture://video.
Hope it helps...

Video Resolution, and Windows Reset?

Two quick questions.
1. Where, if possible, can I set the settings for the videos resolution (i.e. 16:9, pixels, ect)
2. Is it possible to reset all the windows to their default opening layout and size? (I screwed up something on my timeline so now only half of the horizontal slider bar is showing until I click on it)

From the menu: Window>Arrange>Standard.
This will only reset the Layout.

Cannot Change Video Resolution in Youtube

When I try to change the video resolution in YouTube, the screen goes black and it automatically goes to 240p regardless of the resolution that I choose. It will play the video so long as it remains in its default resolution i.e. 360p or 240p. I also have Chrome downloaded and it has no issue changing between video resolution so I am assuming it is an issue with Safari. I reinstalled Flash and I tried resetting the computer but had no success with either of those attempts. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Dan

Thanks dschinkal! When I view You Tube clips on Safari and click the resolution adjuster to increase it (say, to 720), the screen goes black and I have to click refresh in order to reload the page. After which, it plays again at a low resolution.
This has happened since I bought my new iMac 27" a month ago.

You can't change the video resolution. The resolution is 720P

Maximum video resolution and/or bitrate/fps

could anyone tell me the maximum video resolution, fps, and bitrate suported by the video player on asha 210 and asha 310?

Do you face an issue? Does this help?

FCPX: changing the resolution preferences when burning a dvd?

FCPX: How do you change the resolution preferences from 720 to 1080 when burning a dvd?

DVD standard is 720X480, which is why you don't have a resolution choice.

How do I select a lower video resolution through iTunes store

How do I select a lower video resolution through iTunes store?

Unsupported video resolution

I changed to an unsupported (by my monitor) video resolution and now I can't see the screen. How do I change it back?

I believe if you reset PRAM, it will revert to a default setting. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242 & http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379?viewlocale=en_US

Apple TV 2 does not switch automatically the video resolution (60 HZ / 50 HZ)

My apple TV streams the content from a Mac Mini. In my iTunes library are mixed content from the iTunes store. Some are 24 fps with 60 Hz and some are 25 fps with 50 HZ. All was bought on iTunes. The video resolution is set on my Apple TV to AUTO. This mens for me that my Apple TV will change the resolution by itself depending on the movie.
And this is the problem. The Apple TV does not change the resolution. It is only on 60 Hz. A lot of people has the same problem. My iPad wokrs fine and displays all movies correct.

Thank you for the eplanation. What might cause that activity as the TV was off and no other HDMI was on? Only WiFi was available but nothing connecting to the apple TV.... I tried to "wake it up" with iTunes on my macbook - and it works (I was not aware of). But it could not be iTunes and it was not really "used". So it might be iPhone or iPod waking it without we want it to.
I'll check all items potentially connecting to it. Txs!

Lower the video resolution on iphone 5 for Apple TV?

Can you lower the video resolution on iPhone 5 so that it will play on Apple TV. Now it takes forever for a short video to buffer. I know I can convert it to a lower resolution myself - once the video is complete - but many videos, such as kids' birthday parties are fine at lower resolution, and I'd love to be able to show them immediately on TV.

Which kind of iOS you have
if iOS 7.1 then it's software issue and many users complaining from its battery life
I hope apple fix this issue in the next update
for now you can disable any settings that running and you aren't using it (apps/games, wifi, bluetooth...etc)
only keep what you need.

Change Video Resolution

Hi at all
I want to change the resolution of my video. As far as I know this is possible with IAMStreamConfig.But all the samples I see are handling with a Webcam Input.
What about changing the resolution of a video file?
That's how I would do it, but it doesn't work
Code Snippet
Guid iid = typeof(IAMStreamConfig).GUID;
object outPin;
hr = cgb2.FindInterface(PinCategory.Capture, MediaType.Video, fileSource, iid, out obj);
DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR(hr);
IAMStreamConfig config = outPin as IAMStreamConfig;
AMMediaType mediaType;
hr = config.GetFormat(out mediaType);
DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR(hr);
try
VideoInfoHeader vih = new VideoInfoHeader();
Marshal.PtrToStructure(mediaType.formatPtr, vih);
vih.BmiHeader.Width = 640;
vih.BmiHeader.Height = 480;
finally
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mediaType);

You both understood what I wanted. Yes I want to the change the video Resolution, not the display resolution!
But when you look at the DxLogo sample you will see this method:
Code Snippet
private void SetConfigParms(ICaptureGraphBuilder2 capGraph, IBaseFilter capFilter, int iFrameRate, int iWidth, int iHeight)
            int hr;

            AMMediaType media;
            IAMStreamConfig videoStreamConfig;
            IAMVideoControl videoControl = capFilter as IAMVideoControl;
            // Find the stream config interface
            hr = capGraph.FindInterface(
                PinCategory.Capture, MediaType.Video, capFilter, typeof(IAMStreamConfig).GUID, out o );
            videoStreamConfig = o as IAMStreamConfig;
            try
                if (videoStreamConfig == null)
                    throw new Exception("Failed to get IAMStreamConfig");
                hr = videoStreamConfig.GetFormat(out media);
                DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                // copy out the videoinfoheader
                VideoInfoHeader v = new VideoInfoHeader();
                Marshal.PtrToStructure( media.formatPtr, v );
                // if overriding the framerate, set the frame rate
                if (iFrameRate > 0)
                    v.AvgTimePerFrame = 10000000 / iFrameRate;
                // if overriding the width, set the width
                if (iWidth > 0)
                    v.BmiHeader.Width = iWidth;
                // if overriding the Height, set the Height
                if (iHeight > 0)
                    v.BmiHeader.Height = iHeight;
                // Copy the media structure back
                Marshal.StructureToPtr( v, media.formatPtr, false );
                // Set the new format
                hr = videoStreamConfig.SetFormat( media );
                DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                DsUtils.FreeAMMediaType(media);
                media = null;
                // Fix upsidedown video
                if (videoControl != null)
                    VideoControlFlags pCapsFlags;
                    IPin pPin = DsFindPin.ByCategory(capFilter, PinCategory.Capture, 0);
                    hr = videoControl.GetCaps(pPin, out pCapsFlags);
                    DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                    if ((pCapsFlags & VideoControlFlags.FlipVertical) > 0)
                        hr = videoControl.GetMode(pPin, out pCapsFlags);
                        DsError.ThrowExceptionForHR( hr );
                        hr = videoControl.SetMode(pPin, 0);
            finally
                Marshal.ReleaseComObject(videoStreamConfig);
What do I have to do that this (also) works with a File Source?
Because this method only works with a Live Source (from webcam etc.)

IDVD video resolution?

Hey Guys
Maybe this is a stupid question - but here goes:
What is the best video resolution that can be put on a DVD disc by iDVD?
such as 480i or 720 ( i or p ) or 1080i ???
With HDV source to Apple intermid code (FCE HD) to iDVD QT MPEG-4 = ?????
Thanks

Yes. Standard (i.e. not HD) widescreen video is a kludge. The widescreen movie is simply squashed horizontally into the same space taken up by a normal 4:3 image (720x480 pixels for NTSC, 720x576 for PAL). When your TV switches to widescreen it just stretches the image again. This gives you highly non-square pixels but then standard TVs have no concept of pixels anyway (they're effectively analogue). It works but it's still a kludge. HD video uses square pixels like a computer so a widescreen image has more pixels horizontally.
