Will Elgato Turbo converter/encoder fix the posterization issue in iMovie?
I know this is a well-known issue with iMovie. Dark spots and shadows look posterized or color-banded in iMovie. I've scoured the internet in search of a solution, but short of learning how to hack my computer and install different codecs, I can't find a reasonable solution. I know the elgato turbo USB stick is an encoder. My question is, if I used the elgato turbo to export my videos, would that get rid of the color-banding issue? Does that even make sense? (I'm not a video expert.) If anyone has tried this, let me know. If you don't know what I'm talking about and what I'm trying to get rid of, see the image below.
Ok..here are some files to help demonstrate the problem I am encountering.
access my iDisk here: https://public.me.com/testpilot58d
*RC Stuff.mov* is the footage from my camcorder in iMovie.
When I export it to HD 720p setting using turbo.264 HD, the resultant file is *RC Stuff.mp4*. This file is beautiful...perfect...crisp...looks just like my HD camcorder. It is 1280x720 progressive (Apple TV spec), avg bitrate 4,907 kbps (Apple TV spec) but it is 59.940 fps (NOT to spec) size 3.2mb
When I choose the "Apple TV" output option, I get file *RC Stuff.m4v*. It is flat, not crisp, doesn't "popp" on either my iMac or when viewed on Apple TV. It too is 1280x720 progressive, avg bitrate of 3,438 and 29.970 fps. I changed output size to 1280x720 in the Apple TV preset and it still looks flat and crappy.
So....who can get me from point A to point B? How do I need to process RC Stuff.mov to that it will LOOK like RC Stuff. mp4 but is compatible with Apple TV specs and looks as good on a HDMI LCD flat screen TV? How do I deinterlace/what field order, etc to cut the frame rate in half and still look sharp and crisp?
Thank you anyone in advance!

Will there be another softerware update SOON to fix the syncing issue iOS 6.14 caused?
Will Apple offer another update SOON that will FIX the syncing issues?
I have tried EVERYTHING: backups, restarting phone, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, etc. . NOTHING WORKS
I look forward to having my phone sync to my computer so I can save all my information on my external hard drive.
This issue has been occurring ever since I downloaded and updated the iOS 6.14 software.
Everyone is having this same issue, if anyone knows a way to "fix" it please let me know, if not. . . APPLE I need you to begin working on a solution. Thanks!nbrown wrote:

How Can I Fix The Graphics Issue...?
After having my computer for a few years, it started getting an artifact around the mouse, and when it did that, everything was frozen, key commands didn't work, and I would have to manually shut it down.
I went to the Apple store, and they couldn't get it to boot, even with their external drive. The guy at the Apple store took my computer into the back, and a few minutes later, brought it out. He said he had gotten it to boot, without their external drive, but wouldn't tell me how. He said there was a problem with my video card. He said $400 to fix it.
Not having the money, I left. A friend told me how to safe boot the computer, and now it will turn on, despite the artifacts and graphics problems. Why didn't the guy at the store tell me this? It's obviously the only way he could have booted it. He wanted to charge me $50 to back up my data, when I could do it myself under the safe boot.
The thing is, when using safe boot, I have no audio or video functionality- the camera doesn't work, the speakers don't work, and the disc drive doesn't work. I've read up on this, and it's an issue for a lot of macs, from about the time I bought mine. They say there was too much glue used somewhere in the computer (2 or 3 little chips with too much glue or something), and over time the glue/ adhesive gets too hot, and spreads to other areas and ruins them (ie. my graphics card). That's my simplified understanding of the issue, anyway.
Why won't Apple replace it for me? They won't let me trade it in, because it won't boot right, but this is an issue they were aware of at some point. I spent a lot of money on this laptop and it's really nothing more than a digital typewriter now.
Does anyone know how I can fix the graphics issue? Aside from shelling out the money I don't have for something that's really Apple's fault? It'd be really nice to be able to, I don't know, watch things and listen to things. That was the whole reason I got this thing.
Thanks for any ideas, feedback, sympathy, empathy or other comments.
<Edited by Moderator>Ok, you are right, maybe I don't know it for a fact . . . but from all the things I read in various forums, there was a batch (or something similar) of macs (the exact kind I have) that did have too much glue on some parts, and it caused all sorts of problems for different people, most of those problems being with the graphics card. Apparently the excess glue overheats and leaks out of where it's supposed to stay, and whatever it has the misfortune of getting on goes to pot.
I got very brave, thinking my computer was shot- I opened it, and there was, indeed, crusty glue coming out from under some ... things ... three square chip like things ... and it had seeped onto the edges my graphics card. Having seen the inside of other laptops, I know it was not supposed to look like that no matter how old it is.
This whole issue happened just a few months after my (overpriced, unused) AppleCare expired. Irony?
I did backup all my data and files (no thanks to the Apple people; and on safe boot the disc drive won't work, so I had to borrow my friend's external hard drive for backing up), and did a clean install with the original discs. It was a huge hassle, and when it was finally done, I booted my computer normally. It worked for about 10 minutes before it got artifacts all over and froze, at which point I had to force shut it down. I've tried the clean reinstall a few times, but the problem (I think) is that the glue inside already did the damage, and my graphics card is shot. So, I've been running it on safe boot for months. No music. No video. No disc drive. OH- and the best part- on safe boot, the airport won't work. I can't use wi-fi, and I can't take my laptop anywhere because I'm tethered to a modem. It's the worst thing ever. All of it. It's horribly depressing.
I'm just really frustrated and irritated that this happened, and Apple won't do anything. I do realize they don't HAVE to do anything- buyer beware and whatnot- BUT as a reputable company they should at least let me trade in with the discount or whatever. I didn't have to choose Mac, it was the most expensive computer I looked at- but it has so many awesome functions and things . . . that I can't even use . . .
As a poor college student I don't have the option to get a new computer or have Apple replace any parts in this one, so I just kind of feel like Apple screwed me over. Their fault? Maybe not. Their product? Yes, so they should want to keep me as a future customer. At least I think so.
I guess this isn't quite a question. But I would love more feedback, ideas, anything. Has anyone else had this problem? Can I replace my own video card? Will Apple do anything at all? I love macs but I might never get another one, since this could happen again.
And- unrelated- who changed the title of my post, and how, and why? -
HT5642 Does 6.1 fix the wifi issues?

There are no WiFi fixes explicitly listed in the content of iOS 6.1.

Has Apple ever fixed the fan issue that results from upgrading the hard drives on 2009-2010 iMacs?
Has Apple ever fixed the fan issue that results from upgrading the hard drives on 2009-2010 iMacs?
My CPU fan defaults to 3000RPM. I can rev the fan higher with 3rd party Fan controllers, but no lower than 3K.OR you can short out the original temp sensor, to make the fans rev at quieter speeds.
You can also install an optical temp sensor in place of the old one, it will still read temps and adjust the fans accordingly, just not as good as an internal sensor.
Use something like this:http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-922-9229-Cable-Temp-Sensor-Optical-iMac-27-inch-Late -2009-2010-/111106349896

So far in our own testing, we have not found any High CPU Temperature issues.
We have gone through the threads you have provided to us and we will co-work with AMD to see if anything needs to be updated from our side with the New Castle Core.
Once again, MSI appreciates all the findings/reports you have provided to us and we will update you once there is any findings becomes available.

Subject: RE: 3 -- Customer Problem Description Form
I know you guys think you fixed the Newcastle temperature problem. But there are still a LOT of us out here who are having trouble, using latest BIOS. People are reporting this all over the MSI forums. The behavior is as follows, flashing the BIOS might help initially, but soon after the temp shoots way back up.
Please see the following threads:
Temps and BIOS 1.42
ggrrrrr, is there any that bios that fixes the temp issue? [solved]..spoke too soon [NOT SOLVED]
Possible fix for CPU temp problem found.
The same old problem with temperatures (K8N Neo Platinum)
K8N Neo Temps :( -
MSI didn't fix the temperature issue for AMD 64 processors. I'm sure.
For people who didn't read my previous posts;
MSI claims in BIOS 1.4 (for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum) that they fixed the problem that the CPU gets (for example) 54 degrees idle and 74 degrees load.
They didn't. They just made up a fake solution.
Here are my arguments.
- When I start my computer, after a cold long night in which the computer was turned off, I see 42 degrees for my CPU in the BIOS. This is when I go DIRECTLY to the BIOS in the POST. 42 degrees? That is impossible. The temperature in my room is around 20. It can't get so high so fast. My Northbridge is 21. In the old BIOS 1.3 it was the same; when you started your computer the BIOS showed temperatures like 52 etc.
- When my computer has started Windows XP, I start Core Center. There I see my CPU temperature. It is 39 degrees for my CPU. Ridiculous. My old AMD XP 1800+ started with a minimum of 29 when Windows started. After that the 1800+ increased to 48 degrees.
But ok, when I use the trick which some people used in BIOS 1.3 to get true readings (restarting their computer with a soft boot), I see 34 degrees for my CPU. This reading is the only true reading. Isn't it weird that when I have my computer turned on for about 4 hours, with whole the time readings like 42 degrees idle, and I restart, I just get 34 degrees... WITHOUT fluctuating temperatures to hell and back...
My conclusion is that MSI just made something up like '74-20 = 54 degrees in load and 62-20 = 42 degrees idle'.
Also, the temperatures are fluctuating to hell and back. It goes from 58 degrees in load to 54 to 50... Whatever...
This board is great, but this problem really, really s u c k s. FIX this. We have the right of correct temperature readings. We spend money for it.

MeQuote

We are users helping each other. If you must speak with an MSI tech you can always contact them from the MSI main page. Oh and it is not likely they will answer if you attack them the way you are writing in this forum. Now would I for that matter.
I do agree that some in this thread have crossed the line and need to watch it .

So play nice folks or there won't likely be a second warning.
Very good advice!

Yes there can stilkl be temp issues especially with the newcastle core CPU's. The new Bios is still a work in progress. There are a lot of combinations they need to work out. But if you contact MSI with a complaint in a cival manner and let them know what experience you have you may even get a new beta bios to try and see if it will solve your issues. Or they may have other suggestions. However they can't fix stuff they are not aware are broken and most of the problems disappeared when they released 1.4. So let them know about what you have.
Been there done that. They were responsive in the beginning. Continued to send them very polite and factual updates as I tried new BIOS updates but have long since ceased to receive any response at all. Again, I say I don't blame MSI. Just want a fix.....

Oh yes and running these chips in the 50C+ range at full load is still within reason.
I reread the thread a few times, and I don't see where anyone is claiming that they feel like that's a problem, so I'm confused about the relevance of this statement . The problem that's been mentioned here is that the temperature is being REPORTED at 50+C at IDLE load conditions when it obviously is NOT that hot. Restart of the machine immediately then shows an IDLE temp of 30C. Even though 30 seconds prior it showed 50C with just as low of a load since it was right after cold start? THIS situation is NOT within reason.... And it's very repeatable, cause I see it every single day -
How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?
This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

iOS 7.0.3 did not fix the mirroring issue with ATVs and AirServer. Anyone have an idea what needs to be done? The only solution we have found is to reboot the iPad. We don't have the option of restarting the wireless as so many people are on and it would further disrupt classes.

Does the Imovie 6.0.3 update fix the stability issues?
Hi,
Been using Imovie 6.0.2 a fair bit lately, and have had quite a few crashes. I see from this forum that I'm not the only one.
I haven't yet been able to update to the latest version (6.0.3) released last week, and would like some user experience opinions about whether the update has fixed the stability issues. Anybody noticed any improvements or otherwise?
My crashes seem to happen pretty randomly, it could be when you're putting a transition in, or just when you click Play or move the playhead. Any time really. I get the little spinning circle and Imovie is hung. Tried leaving it for ages just in case it was eventually going to return, but it doesn't.
Has the patch fixed it?
cheers,
IanSoftware Update says I have nothing that needs updated. Since I know this isnt true, I went to Downloads and attempted to install both updates--it stopped and said I had to go back to the previous download. After a couple journeys back to nowhere, I gave up.

There is a problem with autoHeightRows and columnStretching used together in 11gR1.
Have you tried without columnStretching?
Or have you tried if it works in 11gr2?
TimoHi Timo, Thank you very much for taking time to respond to my question.. :)
Back to my question...
I tried removing the columnStretching although my requirement really requires this but no effect really happens even if I remove this.
Based on my investigation on the generated HTML, I notice the following items:
1. A table is being wrapped in a div that is being set at a fixed height.
2. On first load, if your autoheight rows is set to 6, the framework is setting a height of 96px to the div. This height would almost cut the last row of the table.
3. If you try to refresh the page or try to re-PPR the component, the framework resets it to 102px which causes the last row to be fully displayed.
My only concern is that IE is perfectly displaying this while Chrome and FF are having problem.
Based on my understanding, the framework is messing up the height only on first load. Not sure but this is how I see it. I am really not confident also on my findings
and I would most likely hear other's comment.
Thanks. -
