Webcam Instant Distorted Images

I have recently successfully installed Webcam Instant, but the image I see on my own screen during Skype calls is distorted to show 4 of me and 2 of who I am speaking to. The image on my screen is also very poor quality and of a pale green colour. Apparently the image received from my camera at the other end is AOK. Any ideas on how to solve the problem ?

Hi Batlasi,
If memory serves me well, the Webcam Instant supports up to Windows XP. You may verify by referring to this link as well.

Big problems with creative webcam instant (sample included)

yesterday i purchased a creative webcam instant, and i am dissapointed in the quality of the video.
The frame rate is great, however there is artifacting and the video jumps around all over the place.
I have never had a problem with any other imaging devices before, so i cant see why this is happening with this camera.
This happens with the creative webcam center, and also in any other application that uses video from the camera (such as any instant messenger program)
Here is a .88 meg file to show you how the video jumps around.

Blah! The WEBCamInstant is "cheap" & nasty & for beach light only.
1. You have a USB-2?

P4: icuuc40.dll P5: 4.0.0.3207
You're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file. (Apple Application Support is where program files that are used by more than one Apple program are kept.) Some XP systems aren't liking the 4.0.0.3207 version of the dll that is included in Apple Application Support 1.5.0.
The workaround at the moment on XP is to either:
(1) Swap out your existing version of the dll for the 4.0.0.3205 version that was included in Apple Application Support 1.4.1.
(2) Alternatively, you could download the icu4c-401-Win32-msvc8.zip from:
http://icu-project.org/download/4.0.html
... extract the 4.0.1.0 version of the dll from that package, and replace your current 4.0.0.3207 with that.
The location of the existing file on your system is at:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\icuuc40.dll
Drag the copy you find there out onto your desktop, and then drag in the version 4.0.0.3205 or the 4.0.1.0.

Photoshop CC distorted image when zoomed out. Text, edges and Straight lines.

I get this distorted image when working on a file. When I zoom in its fine. But as soon as I zoom out all the lines, text , and edges start to become distorted. I've checked that all my drivers are up to date. I've re installed photoshop and still the same thing. Any Suggestions. ( files look fine when saved or exported, this just happens while Im working )

That looks like a Moiré pattern. Did you scan the image?
If not, can you tell us what operating system?
And is your video card driver fully up to date from the maker's website?

My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen!

My Built-in Webcam has my image in a horizontal split screen. How can I fix this???

Let me explain more - when I use skype for example, my image is displayed in a horizontal split screen. I have tried another chat product and the same thing happens - so it must be something to do with the built in camera or configuration of the camera. Would it be best to contact Apple about this? Will somebody have to get a spanner out to fix my quite new macbook pro? (3 months old). I teach languages online so I really depend on a decent image. Can anybody help me?

My i phone 4 screen suddenly starts showing funny and distorted images then goes blank. how do i get the screen back to normal.?

my i phone screen starts blinking and showing funny and distorted images before going blank. now it's blank,how do i get it back to normal.?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.

FCE/DVD Slideshows - Distorted Images

Despite reading the many posts regarding pixel aspect ratios and distorted images, I remain very confused about how to solve my problem.
I use FCE to create slideshows on DVD from still photos, but try as I might, I cannot figure out how to avoid the distorted (squashed) images in the finished DVD.
I use Lightroom and/or Photoshop to edit the images, then simply import them to FCE. I export the slideshow using Quicktime Conversion, H.264 Compression, Dimensions of 1442x1080. I use iDVD to convert the QT movie to DVD, for viewing on a widescreen TV.
I've tried the different options in QT Conversion to preserve the aspect ratio, to no avail. Most recently, I used Photoshop to change the pixel aspect ratio to 0.9 in the jpeg files, but that seemed to make no difference in the distortion.
I would very much appreciate any help you could offer.
Thanks,
DBennett

I export the slideshow using Quicktime Conversion, H.264 Compression, Dimensions of 1442x1080. I use iDVD to convert the QT movie to DVD, for viewing on a widescreen TV.
This is a significant part of the problem. If you intend to make DVDs then you must export from FCE to QuickTime Movie. DO NOT export to QuickTIme Conversion. While useful for many things, QT Conversion is not useful for transferring your video to iDVD or other DVD authoring tool.
And as has been mentioned above, if you want your photos to fill a widescreen TV (ie, 16x9) then you need to start by creating a sequence using one of the highdef Easy Setups in FCE. I'd recommend either one of the 720p30 or 1920x1080i60 Easy Setups. (1440x1080 is an anamorphic Easy Setup and is probably also a source of your distortion.) Of course, your images must also be 16:9 aspect ratio if they are to fill the screen. Don't scale up the images once they are in FCE. As for image size, 1x to 2x the video frame size (in pixels) seems to be the sweet spot unless you are using a Ken Burns type of effect and need to pan across a very large surface area.

Distorted images???

I've just restarted aperture today and on the timeline all the thumbnail images that are portrait/upright in shape have distorted. If I click on them they gradually become normal but does anyone know why aperture is doing this and what I can do to get them all back to normal??

I am experiencing distorted images too, but my problem seems to be restricted to just some of the images from one download - all in the same project. I am keen to attempt the suggested solution above (ie generate thumbnails), but since I have just over 210,000 images in this library wonder will this solution work if I just select the photos in the affected project.
Any advice??

Right click on anything opens a distorted image of the website and options are not visible.

Please help! Every time I right click options are not shown and instead I'm greeted with a distorted image of the current website. This happens when I want to open a link on another tab and when I go onto the firefox settings in the top left corner. When I go in the options in the top left corner, instead of an image of the website, a magnified image of what I clicked appears. This doesn't allow me to see the options and if I'm lucky and move around the mouse they appear for a second and the image reappears. Please help! I've erased Firefox and reinstalled it and nothing, the problem still persists. Thanks for helping! :)

Distorted images in internet explorer, chrome, and firefox

Hello everyone.
it's my first time writing in a forum.i have just bought a dell notebook inspiron 15 which i upgrated from windows 8 to windows 8.1. (First time working with windows 8.) i'm having distorted images at some sites, double or blurry either in internet explorer
firefox or chrome. also very often i'm getting an error message that the web page cannot be viewed(in explorer) and in firefox that i should communicate with the web page in order to inform them that . when i refresh the page loads normally..so why does that
happen..is there a problem with the browsers or are the websites outdated?
In addition, web players other than youtube, like for example JWplayer start playing for a moment and then stop.After refreshing they stop at the same spot. i have the latest update of adobe flash and no problem with my internet connection.
thank you in advance
Anna, Greece
p.s i should note that i'm not very used in computer language so a simple explanation will be very welcomed. :)

Hi，
This pages all display fine in my PC, for IE, you can click Tools\Internet Options\Advanced, then under "Accelerated graphics" enable or disable hardware acceleration to check for hardware or software compatibility issues with viewing certain Internet websites.
Or under "Multimedia", enable automatic image resizing, check the result.
or clear browser history, temporary internet files, tools\internet options\general\delete... or reset IE as a test.
These are solutions for IE, since this issue happend on all browsers, I guess that it might be related with your video card--hardware device, if so, it's recommended to take this pc to a local shop to repair it.

"Show Photo Settings" distorts image.

Load image into timeline.
Select "media"
Select "Show Photo Settings"
Image is immediately distorted
see example of distorted image here:
http://www.thecriticalcrab.net/postits/imov_distort.html
I've had this problem before when rendering an image.
Sometimes restarting iMovie helps.
But things seem to have gone worse.
Help appreciated.

Thanks for this response

Think I've seen this too - several Years ago.
General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
I have 829 GB specifically to address this limitation.
Delete iMovie pref file
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
Did this to no positive effect. same problem persists
Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
Did this. Still no fix.
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
Never use Garageband. so bypassed this for now.
Screen must be set to Million-colors
Check
Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
That would be unfortunate and somewhat difficult to locate, I think.
iMovie updated ?
I didn't know there was a 6.0.4. Looking for a download now.
QuickTime updated ?
Have QT 7.6.4 installed
Mac OS version ?
10.4.11
All that being said and done, I think I determined the problem.
i.e. IMAGE SIZE.
Typically, I downsize & export images from iPhoto to a separate file and drag them from that file to the Clips or Timeline. Recently, being lazy I was trying to import directly from iPhoto via iMovie's Media/Photo area.
I think iMovie just doesn't like large files, because when I followed my previous procedure, it seems to work without the corruption.
Experience of others would be interesting.
thanks again for your help
