What about movie and picture quality witht he GMA950?

Hello,
I have seen many posts talking about the performance of the macbook when playing games.
Since I am mot a computer geek, I was wondering how the macbook was when playing movies and watching pictures? I mean, will the quality of the video (or pictures) be different if I were to watch the same movie (or pictures) on a macbook and a macbook pro?
I do not play games so, gaming is not a concern. But movie quality is important for me.
Could anyone share his/her experience?
thanks,
JM

Movies quality and playback is fine, but you may have to put up with some fan noise depending upon the video you are watching. Of course that can be solved with headphones. You may want to listen to the movie with headphones anyway, because the MacBook doesn't have the best audio coming out of the internal speakers--especially concerning volume level.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Why is the quality of movies and pictures exported to the external hard drive lowered?

    Are you speaking of manually moving these files, or using an application to export?
    When you use the the term "export", it usually entails an application performing some kind of file conversion, rather than a simple transfer. It is during conversion to another file format that information may be lost through lossy compression, or by settings of the export.
    Anytime you convert a file to another format, there will usually be some loss or degradation. Tghis can't be helped, as one format may not support every information characteristic the original one did.

    I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

    Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
    If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

  • How to move Documents, Music, Movies and Pictures (only) to a separate internal drive?

    How can I move just the Documents, Music, Movies and Pictures folders to a separate internal hard drive? I am running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro (2,1) with three 500GB Intel ESB2 AHCI internal drives. I do not want to move the entire Home folder, as I wish to keep the Applications forlder on the boot volume. Thanks!

    The Applications folder is not part of your Home folder -- it is available to all.

  • Automator droplet to filter movies and pictures into separate folders?

    Hey everyone, I'm a frustrated photographer and I've got a camera that gives me a SD card that looks like this:
    I want to create a droplet that after importing into my computer, I can organize the .rw2, .JPG and .MOV files into their own respective folders so the end product looks like this:
    I know I can sort by filetype and create a folder based on that, but I just want to highlight everything, throw it on the droplet, and end up with folders.
    I came pretty close with this:
    but it only copies the jpegs into a new folder, leaving the old ones.  I want to MOVE the pictures to the new folder I created.  I have to do this for a lot of "example folders" so the "Same Folder as Input" feature is what I need to utilize.  Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks so much.

    Awesome, thank you so much! That's exactly what I was looking for.  To take it one step further, it would be great to make it universal not for just my camera, but for all cameras.  I have a Panasonic (.RW2), but I went ahead and added Canon (.CR2) Nikon (.NEF) and a bunch of other RAW photo types and other video types as well:
    jpg_folder="JPEG"  
    raw_folder="RAW" 
    mov_folder="VIDEO" 
    for f in "$@" ### loop, for each dropped folder 
    do 
        if [ -d "$f" ]; then ## this item is a directory 
           cd "$f" 
           /bin/mkdir -p {"$jpg_folder","$raw_folder","$mov_folder"} ### create sub-folders, if not already exists 
           /bin/mv -n *.JPG "$jpg_folder" ### move .JPG files (important: matching case ".JPG" does not equal ".jpg" ) 
           /bin/mv -n *.RW2 "$raw_folder" ### move .RW2 files 
           /bin/mv -n *.CR2 "$raw_folder" ### move .CR2 files
           /bin/mv -n *.NEF "$raw_folder" ### move .NEF files
           /bin/mv -n *.ARW "$raw_folder" ### move .ARW files
           /bin/mv -n *.ORF "$raw_folder" ### move .ORF files
           /bin/mv -n *.RAF "$raw_folder" ### move .RAF files
           /bin/mv -n *.DNG "$raw_folder" ### move .DNG files
           /bin/mv -n *.MOV "$mov_folder" ### move .MOV files
           /bin/mv -n *.MP4 "$mov_folder" ### move .MP4 files
           /bin/mv -n *.AVI "$mov_folder" ### move .AVI files
           /bin/mv -n *.MTS "$mov_folder" ### move .MTS files
       fi 
    done
    It functions great, but for some reason gives me this error message every time:
    Any ideas as to why?  I can live with clicking OK every time, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something easily fixable.
    The other thing I was wondering how to add was a move to trash function.  Canon cameras create a .THM reference file that's useless once transferred to a computer:
    How would you add a function to automatically move the THM files to the trash?  Your brilliance is greatly appreciated on behalf of all photo geeks like myself.

  • Yet another question about exporting and video quality

    Kind people,
    I know this question has been asked many, many times, and I have searched and read up of the topic, but I would also like to ask it.
    I shot my video on a Canon Vixia HF10, downloaded it to Final Cut Express to edit, exported it as Quick Time Movie, dropped it in iDVD, then played it on my TV and the quality was…..not good. The video was a little fuzzy and there were ghosts. Are there any settings I should go back and check in iDVD.
    Wolfgang

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    What is the format recorded by this camera?
    How did you capture/ingest your video material in FCE?
    What was your sequence format in timeline?
    How did you export your sequence (specify exact steps, menus and command)?
    What was your iDVD project settings?
    What was the iDVD quality setting?
    Did you monitor your DVD on computer screen or TV set?

  • N79 Sound and Picture Quality should be improved l...

    I just recently replaced my N82 to a new N79 because I really love the design and features.
    One thing I noticed in the MUSIC PLAYER using the same modified equalizer in N82 is that the sound is too bad and horrible. Please do the same programing in N82 V.30 Music Player sound. We'll be expecting that on the new firmware.
    Even the picture quality of N79 is not good. Do something about it because I don't want to be frustrated.
    Thank you,

    PUT AN EQUALIZER IN N900

    I agree that the bass is deep compared to the previous Nseries but I noticed that it balances the output of the sound when it reaches the highest peak. Tendency is to lower or balance the sound. I can't bear this. Compared to the my previous N82 music player, the sound is excellent Both bass and treble are clearly defined.
    Try to adjust the 53Hz to the highest point which gives the bass sound, you'll notice the automatic adjusting of sound which is to me, very annoying.
    Cheers!

    Honestly speaking, the sound quality of N79 is vastly improved over the previous models of Nseries like N82, N95, N95 8GB etc. Of course personal opinions about SQ is different but the improvement on SQ of N79/N85 is obvious and significant, and the N96 is now the best of em and a worthy replacement of N91/8GB.
    The bass is deep and rich in N79, N85, and N96 considereing all other S60 devices, I tweaked the 8 band equalizer in my N79 to my own preset, the volume is louder, and treble is much clearer.

  • From hdd to ssd: what about os and all data?

    Hello everybody.
    I know there are a lot of discussion about it and i read lots of them,
    But maybe because english is not my first language, i have some problems in understanding the right things to do.
    Also, i am pretty new with mac world as i just have my mb pro since last november.
    so i hope you can help me with easy words, thanks.
    here's the list of what i have:
    - MacBook Pro 2.5ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb hdd
    - os x mavericks (installed 2 days ago)
    - all my documents/photos/music in my MB Pro
    ... and:
    - crucial ssd 480gb
    - an external hd enclosure usb 3.0
    - the 17 in 1 tool kit
    What do i have to do first?
    And how will i transfer/install the os x from hd to ssd? or it "remains" somewhiere in my MB Pro?
    I know there is a link from crucial with the procedure for removing hd and installing ssd, is this all i have to do?
    Really hope you can help me... thanks in advance!
    F.

    Follow these steps:
    Make certain that you have your data backed up as a precaution.
    Attach the SSD to the MBP and open Disk Utility>Erase.  Format the SSD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Open Disk Utility>Restore and in the 'Source' field drag the internal HDD from the left hand column.
    In the 'Destination' field, drag the SSD from the left hand column.
    Click on the 'Restore' button.
    Depending upon the amount of data, this process may take a couple of hours.
    When finished, restart your MBP holding doen the OPTION key.  The display should show the internal HDD and the external SSD (yellow in color).  Click on the SSD and if it boots the MBP, the clone has been successful.
    Perform the physical swap.  Your MBP should be ready to go.  All of your data will be on the SSD exactly as it was on the HDD.
    Ciao.

  • HDMI into Amp not Working and & Picture Quality Is...

    Hello all,
    I'm a first time user of the BT Vision+ service and got it all hooked up today. My kit is a Samsung UE55D8000 with Onkyo HTX22HDX amplifier.
    Over the years I've had multiple Virgin V+ boxes, Xbox's, Playstation's and PC's plugged into my amp without any problems but the Vision+ box refuses to work. When I plug in the power on the Vision+ I see an initial light blue screen with a boot count number on the bottom left and then it goes blank and I get a no signal message on screen. When I plug the HDMI cable directly into the TV I get a working picture.
    I've tried resetting all devices, setting picture between 1080 and 720 but all without any luck.
    Has anyone else seen this before?
    On a side note, so far I'm not that impressed with the picture quality. Even the freeview HD channels come out noticably worse from the Vision+ box then when I just use my builtin freeview HD. Having moved from Virgin HD, I can see the BT Sports HD channels suffer the same fate with noticale artifacting.

    1. Yes - The Vision 2.0 HDMI output does carry 5.1 surround sound when available and should work with any A/V amp. 5.1 is available on some Extra TV channels and we hope to enable more channels for 5.1 soon. The on-screen TV Guide indicates which programmes carry 5.1 surround sound.
    2. Freeview HD channels are delivered via Multicast across the broadband network as the box has a DVB-T tuner and not DVB-T2 which is required to receive HD broadcasts in the UK. (Although customers in Norther Ireland can actually receive some HD broadcasts from Eire via DVB-T).
    The HD picture quality on the multicast Extra TV channels is generally regarded as excellent and as good as, if not better than, other HD services in the UK as BT use very good video encoders and a high bit-rate.

  • What about CMOD and SMOD

    hi
               I am satish, i want to know the user exits transactions what is SMOD and CMOD. What about the functionality of those.
    I will be thankfull to all

    Hi,
    CMOD is the Project Management of SAP Enhancements (i.e., SMOD Enhancements). SMOD contains the actual enhancements and CMOD is the grouping of those SMOD enhancements. 
    User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a function module. The code for the function module is written by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module. 
    The naming standard of function modules for function module exits is: 
    EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix> 
    The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as: 
    CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix> 
    For Example: 
    The program for transaction VA01 Create salesorder is SAPMV45A
    1. If you search for CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION program SAPMV45A you will find ( Among other user exits): 
    CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '003'
      exporting
        xvbak   = vbak
        xvbuk   = vbuk
        xkomk   = tkomk
      importing
        lvf_subrc = lvf_subrc
      tables
        xvbfa = xvbfa
        xvbap = xvbap
        xvbup = xvbup. 
    The exit calls function module EXIT_SAPMV45A_003 
    2. How to find user exits 
    Display the program where you are searching for and exit and search for CALL CUSTOMER-EXIT 
    If you know the Exit name, go to transaction CMOD. Choose menu Utillities->SAP Enhancements. 
    Enter the exit name and press enter. 
    You will now come to a screen that shows the function module exits for the exit. 
    or use this ABAP program to search for user exits :-
    Finding the user-exits of a SAP transaction code
    3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements 
    You want to create a project to enhance transaction VA01
    - Go to transaction CMOD
    - Create a project called ZVA01
    - Choose the Enhancement assign radio button and press the Change button
    In the first column enter V45A0002 Predefine sold-to party in sales document . Note that an enhancement can only be used for 1 project. If the enhancement is allready in use, and error message will be displayed
    - Press Save
    - Press Components. You can now see that enhancement uses user exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002. 
    - Double Click on the exit.
    Now the function module is displayed. Double click on include ZXVVAU04 in the function module
    Insert the following code into the include: E_KUNNR = '2155'. 
    Activate the include program. Go back to CMOD and activate the project. 
    Goto transaction VA01 and create a salesorder. Note that Sold-to-party now automatically is "2155" 
    Kindly reward points by clicking the star on the left of reply,if it helps.
