Weird Lines through Video when playing

Hello,
I was importing video from Canon HF10. It was in 1080i60. When I imported it all in with HD settings in Final Cut the video appears to play with lines running though it when something is moving. I played same video on Quick Time and its the same. I think I shot in weird setting or imported in weird setting, but all was set on Normal and Usual Setting. Anyone knows why video plays with lines though it?

From the way you describe it, it sounds like you are seeing the interlacing of the images. Which of course makes sense given that you shot at 1080i.
Computer monitors are not made to handle the interlaced images. But if you were to watch the image back say on a Television, you should not see those edges.
Anyone can jump in and correct me if I am wrong.

Why do i get a thin tear moving thru my video when playing on my lcd?

Why do i get a tear thru my video when playing on my lcd? I have tryed 60mhz monitors & 120's but I still get a single thin tear moving through the image. It happens mainly with HD footage when there is a lot of camera movement. I have an invidia gtx580 card, 24 gigs ram, cs5.5, 6 core proc. I'm using HDMI as I have a 42" tv hooked up to it at the moment. When I open the invidia software, the highest it goes to is 60 hertz & that is what it is set to.
Is there a setting that will take away this moving tear?

Different monitors, totally dif systems. They are DVI.
This sys is 3 ft sheilded hdmi. I only see the thin line tear when the camera moves fast. The monitor is 120 refresh rate & i tryed a 60 & it did the same thing. Mainly on HD foot when the camera moves quickly the thin horizontal tear appears temporarily then disappears when the action slows

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie. Any suggestions to fix?

Thanks for the reply. I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long. After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix. I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

HELP! CANON 5D MARK III TO FCP 7- WHAT IS CORRECT COMPRESSION? LINES THROUGH VIDEO-HELP!

Hi there, so Ive just upgraded from the T2i to Canon 5D Mark III and this is the first time I'm importing footage to final cut. I have FCP 7 (Mac computer) and my video files are 1920x1080, h264 codec shot at 30 fps (29.97). Previously, when importing from the T2i, I used MPEG Streamclip to convert my video files to Apple Prores 422, and then import those compressed files into FCP 7, with field dominance being UPPER, pixels SQUARE. I never had an issue of quality loss or lines through my viewer and canvas using these settings. However, after attempting to do the same with my footage from the Mark III, I got lines through my footage. After researching a bit, I was convinced that the way to eliminate the problem was to download the 5DTORGB app for $50. This has not fixed my problem! Have tried multiple combinations of different field dominance settings and nothing is working. Is this an interlacing problem? I attempted to catch a screenshot but everytime I pause the video or take a shot, the lines do not show...I do not know what is going on! My original mov files are fine, it is only once I convert and import to final cut that they get these little lines... I am desperate for answers, please someone help!!!

Still no change....However, I did export a trial and the vid looks fine, no lines. I guess fcp is just being a little *****! It is just really frustrating me to have to work with these lines going through my clips, even if they do not appear in my exported file....I feel that there must be some hidden issue with my sequence settings....Could you possibly provide a screenshot of the appropriate sequence settings you would use to match a 1920x1080 file with 29.97 fps (already converted from h264 to apple prores 422 thru 5DTORGB) ? I know that usually it is fine to import the newly compressed prores files, and then set sequence to match clips, but since I'm having issues, maybe setting the sequence directly would help?
This is what my sequence settings look like right now, after being matched to my prores clip....
I am concerned because it shows Aspect ratio as HDTV 1080i (16:9) though you have told me my clips from the 5D should be progressive (so shouldnt it be 1080p not 1080i??) Being that there is not option in frame size for 1080p, i tried selecting the "Custom (16:9)" option, but it will not allow it...Just sets it back to 1080i......Any thoughts?

I can hear the video when played on iPhone5 but when emailed the audio is very low

I'm unable to hear the videos when they are emailed from an iphone5. I can play it on the phone but the volume is extremely low when sent to email. Any answers on how I can hear the video played louder when I open it from email on pc?

To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
Operating   system
Browser
Flash   Player version
When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details. Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
Windows
Mac
Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

Getting Videos to Play as Video When Playing Randomly with Music

I haven't been able to figure this out or maybe it can't be done. Is there a way to get music videos (or any video) to play as videos when they're intermingled with regular songs (MP3 or MP4a), playlists or otherwise?
When playing songs randomly in a playlist or if I play all songs, my videos with show the first frame of the video like it would album cover art and then just play the audio from the video. I hope this makes sense, thanks.

Thanks, I put the suggestion in last night. Hopefully it will be considered, I think it would be a nice feature to have. They could even add it in settings to play music videos as video when plaing among songs or not. Not sure if that's the best way to word that or not, but I'm sure they can figure it out.

My Mac has a circle with a line through it when I try to turn it on it's plugged in to a charged but will not go past this point and no startup chime

When I try to turn on my Mac it has the apple symbol that later turns into a circle with a line through it and it won't turn on I need help.

Go step by step and test.
Restart.

[MSI RS480M2-IL] jerky video when playing mpeg2

My new msi rs480m2-il mainboard with venice 3000+ cpu and 512 mb twinmos ram shows problems when playing mpeg2 content. When playing recorded mpeg2 file the video is jerky (I already checked the video source, but it is random)
After first install of windows mce I found out the image was jerky and flashed the bios from 3.3 to 3.8 to see if it improves some things. The only improvement was that the CPU was recognised and that I could enable C&Q.
Then I did a fresh install of windows again (diabled all unneccesary stuff like firewire, second ide channel, onboard sound in the bios), but no improvements. It is totally worthless for usage as htpc.
After fresh install of windows I did the following:
- installed all windows updates
- installed ati catalyst 5.7 drivers
- installed nvidia purevideo decoder 1.02-150
The playback is in VMR9 with hardware acceleration enabled, this results in a CPU load of 40-50% (which I think is pretty high).
Where can I look?
- VGA card
- drivers
- Memory
- Bios
- RMA mainboard?
Is there anyone facing the same problems? Did anyone succeed to eliminate these problems?
I am also facing the temp problem (venice core) which shows a cpu temp that is way too high

Realtek A3.74 drivers from realtek website
There are a few threads in the Forum on problems with the more current Realtek driver sets and the board, e.g. poping and stuttering. It's always possible that the video playback is affected by audio. The set on the MSI CD that came with the board is good.
I tested newer and also encountered problems. I tested several of the Catalyst IGP sets without problems, but recommend you try the Realtek set on the CD. Make sure you uninstall the current set before you move back.
FYI.....I tested ALL TYPES of media with the rig in my profile and video was very smooooooth on all tests. Even streaming video from the net was good. It's now my daughter's system, and she says it's running perfect.

My macbook pro volume is locked. there is a circle with a line through it when i press the volume buttons but no volume will sound. music and videos will not play and there is no red light on in the headphone jack.

Any suggestions of what could be wrong? or how it can be fixed. I have not updated it or anything. this just randomly happened about 2 hours ago. I tried looking for answers but nothing has worked so far.

I tried all of the fixes above and quite a few others like resetting the pram and nvram and what finally worked for me was resetting my sound card from Terminal. Open Terminal and enter the command sudo kill -9 `ps ax|grep 'coreaudio[a-z]' | awk '{print $1}'`. It will ask for your password, enter in your password and press enter. The sound card will be reset and your audio and volume control should be restored..

[GeForce 6] Lines across screen when playing games.

Hi all,
I've upgraged from a Ti4200 to a 6600GT about 5 or 6 months ago. All was well for a while, although it wasn't quite the jump in performance I was expecting (rest of the system bottlenecking it I suppose), but just recently when I'm playing some games, namely SWAT 4 and to a lesser degree BF 2, after a little while, say an hour or so, I start getting these lines across the screen. They are usually horizontal or diagnol and appear to be related to the polygons (or something) in the game as one line might start at the edge of a door frame and run to the corner of the room. I can walk around these lines, so they are actually in the game not like a monitor problem. The more I play the game the worse they get and Swat 4 ends up looking like some giant spiderweb, I can also start to see through different parts of characters too, like behind their knees and stuff. I've lowered the video settings to no avail and overclocking the card seems to bring the problem on quicker. It seems to be getting worse too, .ie. it's happening sooner and sooner each time I play. When I play other games like V8 Supercars 2 or Full Spectrum Warrior I have no problems.
So I guess either the card is faulty or more likely it's a heat problem. If it's heat, why is the problem only surfacing now? Could it be power supply? Or could it be the CPU or some other component?
My PC specs are :
P4 2.53 Ghz
1 Gig RAM @ PC2700
P4S8X Asus m/board
120 gig HD
MSI GF6600GT - AGP
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies.
I left 3D Mark 2001 on a loop the other day. It asked me if I wanted to leave the resolution at 1024 x 768 so I did and it crashed and restarted. Not sure how long it long it had been running tho' as I left the room, no more than an hour but. I ran it again at the recommended (640 x 480) and it ran for about an hour and a half with no probs. So I then ran it again at 1024 x 768 for an hour or so and when I came back I watched it for a while and couldn't see any issues. No white dots or anything, certainly no lines like in the games. Bit wierd. So I then played Swat 4 (the worst offender) for probably an hour and a half with no probs at all. Almost like when it crashed it reset something. My PC is a bit like that tho', sometimes I turn it on and have no problems, other times I do even tho' I haven't changed any settings.
I haven't been able to get back to it since (got two squids) so I'll have a play over Xmas holidays and see what I can find. I think it's a heat problem. The weather's warmed up an that's when the problem started. I'm pretty sure when I looked in the case last time it only had a pissy little single 100mm fan, plus one or two in the power supply unit. So will do the portable house fan thing and see.
Thanks again. Will let u know what I find.

Green Layer on Top & Bottom of video when played on Comp. & TV after Encode

I shot video in HD (1080 60i) and captured it into FCP in that format and edited the whole project in that format. It plays fine in FCP when I preview it on my computer monitor.
I then went to Compressor and made it a SD (not HD) MPEG 2 Widescreen. I then imported it into DVD Studio Pro and set it up the proper way. When I went to simulate it, I noticed there was a green video layer on both the top and bottom of the screen right above where the black widescreen bars are.
I went ahead on burned the DVD as I always do. When I play it on widescreen TV I cannot see the black bars on Top and Bottom because it is a full picture and takes up the entire screen. When I play the DVD on a CRT Television, the black bars appear on top and bottom, like they are supposed to, and the green video is there on both the top and bottom like it is in DVD Studio Pro when I simulated it.
What is this green video doing there and how do I get rid of it? I never had this problem before. It seems only to be happening during the encoding process.
I am using a Mac Pro
Snow Leopard
Mac OS 10.6.4
Final Cut Studio 3
Thanks in Advance

What I like to do when testing is to create the action safe and text safe lines in photoshop and burn them on a test DVD so I can see how much overscan shows.
My HDTV only cuts off a little bit while my older TV's really cut allot and almost go to the text safe lines.
Just something fun to test out.
Im hoping one day we will just have no PAR's and no overscan just like our computers.
Have our TV's just like our computers so if looks good on a computer it will look the same on TV's but that day im sure is far off.

Captured video when played becomes a crazy complex pixel mess! HELP! ASAP!

Hey,
I am importing images that work fine and play on my camcorder (Canon ZR65) and play well when previewing during the capture process (or import process)...
However when I try to play the clips in either the timeline or the right hand side where they rest they are coming up with NO SOUND, NO PICTURE except for a pixelated mess of various different colored blocks, like when a television goes out or they do a warning test. I have used the same machine with the same camera for various other projects and have no idea what is going on. Could it be the camera? I did drop it but it seems fine as does the firewire cable? I'm getting a new camera soon....
Oh..and if no one can tell me why that is happening can anyone tell me if I can put a movie from Windows Movie Maker into an IDVD project? (Then I can just use my other computer instead....)
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
"..a pixelated mess of various different colored blocks.." sounds like the picture has become scrambled: those pixellated blocks are incomplete digital data which can't be properly presented as video because bits are missing.
It might be that this was recorded at LP (Long Play) speed, and there's some slight tracking problem, especially as it was dropped! LP recordings have a far narrower width of recorded track, and any slight fault in head alignment will produce "dropouts" - which you're seeing.
Some camcorders detect these dropouts during replay, and "fill the gaps" with data from the previous frame of movie, so it may look OK on the camcorder. But the actual data transmitted down the cable - but do check the cable on another Mac, or with another device instead of the camcorder - may have "holes" in it.
If it's not an LP tape, but just ordinary SP (Standard Play), try playing the same tape in another camcorder, and importing from that. Try another FireWire cable, too ..maybe that one has a fault. (..Maybe there's a faulty connection on the in-camera FireWire socket if it's been dropped..)
This pixellation often means that the camera's heads need cleaning (..with a cleaning tape..) but in that case you'd see the pixellation in the camera's viewfinder, too, so that's probably not the case here.
If there's another Mac handy, try importing to that with a different FireWire cable. If the result's the same, then it's a transmission-from-camera problem, and the cause could be:
(1) LP recording ..try to stick with SP
(2) Head misalignment after being dropped
(3) Bad connections in camera's FireWire socket, through being dropped
In those cases, try importing from a different camcorder, but that may also be a problem with an LP tape, or if the recording was made after the camera was dropped - and so the recording has been made with a misaligned head and may not play back properly in an uninjured camcorder.

Sound through HDMI when playing a Keynote Presentation

When I link my 4th gen iPad to a TV with Apple's HDMI adapter I get really good sound and vision through the TV when looking at iTunes videos or Youtube. But when I try to play embedded video in a Keynote presentation sound is only available from the iPad's headphone socket. Any solutions?

Sorted, thanks to the iWork Team at Apple. I had the mute button on.
To be fair to me, I use the side button to lock/unlock rotation and it didn't affect those other apps. But still, highly embarassing.

No video when playing QuickTime MOV file in iTunes

I received a QuickTime MOV file from a business associate who transferred it from his Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to his Mac. When I load up the file in iTunes on my Win XP machine, it will play back the audio, but there is no video. When I try to play it back in QuickTime, a window comes up telling me that additional software is needed. When I click the button to go download the software, a browser window comes up listing about 15 different products -- with no indication of which if any will solve the problem. I don't know for certain that any of them will, and I don't have time to download 15 products to test each one. Is there not a more simple way to find out what I need and where to download it? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this file to a friendlier format? This is video of a business event that we need to edit for distribution.

Thanks. That explains it. The person who made the .wmv file says it was made with Camtasia Studio. Do you have any idea what he might have done for it to choose this MSS2 codec over something more universally compatible?
Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.
