Xv giving bad quality

Hi,
I'm currently using the opensource R300 drivers instead of the fglrx drivers. This makes beryl possible :-)
But I have a problem playing video's: the image quality is rather bad. It seems like it uses too few colors for playing a video. When I take a screengrab of the video, the screengrab is perfect. It also works fine when I use the fgrlx drivers, so the video isn't a problem.
To make clear what I want to say I made 2 images. The first one is the normal screengrab, and it looks good. The second one is the first one converted to an indexed image with the gimp and limited to 75 colors. This is very close to what it actually looks like when I play the video.
I have the problems in every player: Totem, gxine, vlc, mplayer.
I do think I have an explanation for this problem. But I'm not sure if this is correct, and I have no solution.

So it is using YV12 for video playback, which is 12bits according to xvinfo. I think that might be my problem?
Can anybody confirm this? and does anybody know how to fix this?

Now that I can do. Don't use beryl though

[SOLVED] Logo on the website in bad quality?

Hello,
Since some days I've noticed that the logo on the website is very bad quality:
Screenshot taken in debian lenny (at the office) with iceweasel 3.0.1
Has something changed or am I or my setup to blame?
Zl.
/EDIT: the img-tags on the forum seem to enlarge the image, also worsening the image quality AND giving the impressions my whole screen is F***ed. No such thing though: only the image itself has jagged edges...

Sounds great in theory, but unfortunately the logo would then looked squished when viewed at normal font sizes (e.g. false resizing).

ACNS 5.5 / Troubleshooting bad quality VIDEO (MMS-over-http)

Hello community,
For an unexplanable reason I have to deal with an ACNS problem which is not my domain at all ! ACNS 5.5.15 is on a WAE-512-K9 working with CDM.
Please can someone advice me on how to start the basic troubleshooting steps on the following issue :
============================
- Users in Sydney are complaining of bad quality when they watch a video from an Intranet server in Frankfurt.
Video flow has bad quality (buffering ..) and/or stops before the end of the video.
- Users browsers are configured to use the WAE as local proxy on ports 3129 (.pac file). Requested Video on the intranet is in the Windows Media format and flows are MMS-over-http.
- No multicast distribution is used, neither content pre-positioning.
============================
We did a wireshark trace on the user PC watching a video which ends up unexpectidely with error code 500 => We follow the TCP stream, Time/Sequence graph is linear until ACNS sent [PSH,ACK] tcp flags to the user PC. Then PC answers with [FIN, ACK] etc...and the stream ends.
I have checked the show-tech (i have attached some commands from the sh tech) especially TCP statistics but I do not if the values are normal or not.
I am thinkink to open a TAC case but before contacting Cisco I prefer to try some basic tests if they can help.
Any recommendation on how to start a troubleshoot or any advice would be gretly appreciated.
Thanks.
Karim

Hi Defcom,
Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried changing and resetting the bandwidth limits at both ends last week at both ends but no joy!
I am going to try the solution on the Gerry's link above later but have to wait for my brother to be free as he has an airport as well(had a baby yesterday (hence why we are setting this up)).

Bad quality preview via HDMI

Hello together!
After searching for days in the www and on this board I hope somebody here knows a solution for this problem:
Im looking for a quality solution to preview the program monitor as a full screen picture on my Panasonic HD-Ready TV. I got it running, but there is a really strange quality problem:
When I just use the TV as a second Windows display and I move the program monitor onto it (no full screen but at 100% display level) the preview looks nice but I can not see the complete picture, because 1280x720 plus the program monitor itself is too big for my screen When I change the display size of the program monitor to something lower than 100% the scaling looks very bad higher than 100% no problem with scaling.
So this is my problem:
When I switch it in the playback settings to playback on extern monitor to view it full screen there is a problem. Diagonal lines get a bad looking aliasing. My idea was that CS3 is scaling something (and this does the program not as good as I tried the preview with trailversions of Edius5 or Vegas8c). Just at 100% CS3 preview looks nice (the same when I just watch the program monitor on the Notebook display).
My Nvidia Card is set to HDMI 720p output. The TV says it is a 720p signal what is coming form my HDMI cable, and last but not least my footage is also filmed in 720p60 (Sony Ex1) and I used the 720p60 EX1 setting in CS3.
So again, when I just watch these clips for example with the Sony clip browser on my TV (also form this Notebook via the same HDMI output) the diagonal lines start not to flicker and are displayed very sharp. So it cant be the graphic card, the TV or the footage at my knowledge.
So why does CS3 scale there something in the full screen preview although from input to output everything is in 720p? Furthermore why is the scale in such a bad quality (Edius does this perfect so maybe I have just a wrong setting somewhere in my CS3 settings). Is CS3 not using the graphic card for scaling?
My system:
Asus V1S Notebook
NVidia GeForce 8600M GT 512MB
Duo T7500
2GB Ram
Windows Vista
Hope somebody here is able to find a solution for this problem, because I dont want to buy an extra video board (like Axio) for it.
Best wishes,
Swen

But often with these cards, you can not work in the CS3 normal nativ settings for Ex1 footage.
At my knowldge when I would like to open a project which with a Blackmagic Card for example and I like to finish the editing on an other computer without that card you'll have a problem (because BM or other cards allway use their own presett window-right?). So you lose a lot of flexibilty by using a card or a third party codec like this. So it's not so future proof as just to work with the NLE Software itself.
I see this now with my old Premiere 6.5 Projects. I used a Canopus Raptor RT2 for this with the Canopus codec. That worked very very well, but now I can't use this project anylonger on a new editing CS3 station, because it doens't support these Canopus transitions and codecs. Also the only Windows Notebook based output solution is the MotuV4 box... not a very cost effectiv solution for a preview.
So again. There must be a sloution to get the problem with the diagonal lines fixed. Why does CS3 scale the preview when 720p footage should be displayed over a 720p output onto a 720p Monitor? No need for scaling? Or am I wrong with this?

Screen is slightly blurry / has bad quality

I bought new Samsung 24" LCD monitor S24C300 and new video card Nvidia GT 630. Monitor is connected with DVI cable.
Problem is that when I'm using native resolution 1920 x 1080, the screen is really small and I have to use the DPI setting thing to make screen bigger, but, when I apply the DPI settings, some programs come annoying blurry.
At the resolution 1280 x 720 the screen is good size, but the text has slightly bad quality and is little blurry, so what to do?
I have adjusted the monitors sharpness settings and I also have ClearType on, but that doesn't help.
Could somebody help me with this issue? Thanks in advance!

Please first install the latest drivers for video and moniotr.
Some times a blurry screen can be caused by a poor cable, check with anothe if possible.
You can also try other port to test this issue, like HDMI.
I'd like to share the following articles with you as a convenience to yuo.

Bad quality after converting to PDF and direct emailing of form letters from MS Word

Hello,
when using the the "form letter" option (for creating personalized PDF files from form letters, that are then directly emailed as attachments via outlook) under the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word I keep getting PDF documents with bad quality (e.g. a logo that is inserted in the document becomes very pixelated). When directly converting the same document to a PDF file using the "create PDF" option unter the "Acrobat" add-in tab in MS Word, I get a high quality pdf file with a perfectly smooth logo (very much the same as it looks in the original MS word document).
Does anyone have an idea what causes the discrepancy in quality of the pdf files that are created via the two options "form letter" and "create PDF" in the "Acrobat" add-in for MS Word?
Any help is highly appreciated,
thank you,
Hans

Maybe I have not made myself clear in the first post. What I am trying to say is, that I keep getting bad quality PDFs (e.g. pixelated logos) when using the "form letter" option (blue box in the image above) but not when using the "create PDF" option (red box in the image above) from the Acrobat add-in in MS Word. Changing the settings for pdf conversion (green box in the image above) only affects PDFs created from the "create PDF" but not the "form letter" option.
Does anyone know how to create high quality (e.g. high resolution) PDFs using the "form letter" option (blue box)?
Best regards,
Hans

Bad quality of web images X1 Carbon 2015

All images (especially the small ones) and icons from internet and some applications have very bad quality as if they had very low resolution. For example, all avatars on Facebook look really bad, I can hardly recognize people. The same holds for all logos and banners with text images. I understand that the images get distorted because of extremely high resolution of the display (2560x1440) - by the way normal text and all Windows images have excellent clarity - however I can hardly beleive that a 2000 EUR machine is not able to provide appropriate image quality even for simle internet surfing! Is that a fact you have to accept when having 2560x1440 or is it somehow possible to get normal image quality? (Otherwise I'll return the laptop).

Here is a screen shot of how it looks like when you open private modus in IE.
At the top you see the blue block [InPrivate] in excellent quality and at the bottom you see how the same thing is displayed when it's an image. Actually both should look the same.

Bad quality pictures in dim light

When I'm in dim light situations, (Bar) my pictures are grainy and really dark. When I used several of my friends iPhones to take additional pics, I noticed 1) the image on the screen before taking the picture is brighter. 2) the picture is is better quaility, more vibrant. My comparison was against 2 other iPhone 4S'. Also, when using my flash, the pics have a blue tint. I always assumed that this is because of the use of an LED as the flash. Compared to both my friends iPhones, theirs is more normal looking.
Should I just take it into the Apple Store and let them deal with this?

You answered your own question. It's the low light.
What is the solution to this issue?
Are you using the flash?
You might also want to try out an app called King Camera. It allows a bit of control over exposure that might help.

When publishing characters get bad quality

Hi!
I'm trying to use Captivate 6 characters, but, when I watch the slides in the editing version, it's OK, when I try to preview or publish them, they get a very bad quality.
Can you help me, please
Thanks, Mariana

Those characters are high quality images, with transparency. I suppose you are still on 6.0.1 and didn't change the default slide quality, which is set to low. That is the reason, finally the team listened to my begging and in 6.1. the default quality is set to Optimized. Try to change that quality, and if that doesn't solve the issue, uncheck all compression settings when publishing as well.

MiniDisplay Port (Thunderbolt MacbookPro) to DisplayPort Dell U2410m don't work! The signal only comes as YPbPr, no RGB and bad quality. Is there any solution?

I want to connect my new MacBook Pro via DisplayPort to a Dell U2410m monitor.
But the signal only comes as YPbPr, no RGB and bad quality. Is there any solution?
It works with the mini display port to DVI adapter from Apple but I want to use the DisplayPort.

J~
cmelbourne91 was suggesting HDMI because many of the MDP/Thunderbolt to DVI adapters come with an additional DVI to HDMI (not Apple's) and you likely won't find any MDP to HDMI becuase of something weird with one of the Apple or HDMI related patents and the type of cable/jack/plug required for it.
As for my computer (15" MBP mid 2010), it almost seems as if I have your problem but intermittently. When connected to an external monitor or projector, the thing will project just fine, but then after some time (and no movement of the computer, cables, or screen) the connection quits. Sometimes it comes back on, sometimes it does not, but it basically registers as if there is no external display.
Any additional info on this?

And after everything is loaded, one of the ethernet banks will almost immediately log the following alarm, "Bad quality received from network module." Does anyone know what criteria/logic is behind the triggering of this alarm?
We have been unable to find any issues that would cause this alarm to go off.

it is power cycled it works again. We have another FP1600 on same network with no problem. Ethernet drop is 230 feet. Part# is 185690E-01, firmware 4.11. I have swapped it with a spare unit we have of the same part number, 185690E-01 and firmware release.Mike,

My exported 2015 iMovie file has bad quality.

Hello.
I just got a new MacBook pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.3. Using iMovie 10.0.7 (the latest version to my knowledge.)
I realize that this question has been beaten to death all over the internet, but I haven't made any headway STILL. I just completed an edit that looks AMAZING in iMovie, and when I export it, the file is very distorted. I'm exporting at the highest quality (1080p) and the file ends up being 8GB (8 minute movie) which I would think a big file like that would produce good quality.
I'm stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the upload (notice the distortion and grainy-ness during motion, again looks AMAZING in iMovie.)

iMovie file has bad quality.
hmmm, really?
I pick up a scene ...
<click for fullsize>
This is a 'killer' for any encoder! Those ultra-soft gradient in the sky shows no banding!
Not to say: superb! Compare to a less encoded version:
<click for fullsize>
you see? THAT is bad quality! Tons of banding in the sky...
... post a scene, which doesn't fullfill your standards …
btw: what camera in use? settings? a GoPro I assume, those 'cinema' settings?
PS: you let YT play it in as 720/1080? ....

Bad quality preview in Bridge versus photoshop preview

Okay here's my problem. When I view my photos using Bridge CS4 I get a bad quality preview even when preview is set to "Always High Quality" The first photo you will see that there is a greenish yellowish tinge on the side of my daughters cheek. However, when I open the same image in photoshop that tinge is gone! You can see this in the second image. Is there a setting that I need to alter here in Bridge? And here's a weird thing....since that file is a raw cr2 file, when I open it up in camera raw, I see the exact same greenish tinge in camera raw as well. Does anybody know what's going on here?

Gosh darnit! It's happening again. I'm getting that murky yellowy tinge in the shadows again in the preview panel in Bridge AND Photoshop!! I downloaded the CS5 trial and when I was previewing some .CR2 RAW and jpeg files in sRGB color space in Bridge CS5, I see that in the preview box, the image looks awful with that yellowy tinge in the shadows. I open it up in Photoshop CS5 and zoom way into it, and sure enough, I see that yellowy nightmare. But when I open it up in picture viewer or in internet explorer, the yellowy tinge is gone. Man this is frustrating! I know it can't be a monitor calibration issue cuz if that was the case, the image in picture viewer would indeed, also have the yellowy tinge, correct? Any ideas? When the problem mysteriously went away with CS4 when I originally posted this thread several months ago, I thought updating Bridge was the solution. However, I don't believe that was the real answer. Anybody got any ideas? I was curious if it was an "Adobe" issue so I opened up one of the jpeg problem photos in AE CS5 and zoomed in. Fortunately, the yellowy tinge does NOT show up in the preview panel. PLEASE HELP!!!

Bad quality when play mov or mp4

I want to play mov or mp4 by quicktime. In my laptop it play well but in my another computer the quality for video is very bad!
Following is the features of that computer:
Windows XP Pro SP2
VIA C7 Processor 1500MHZ 512M RAM
Graphics card: VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP
I upload the screen snapshot of this problem on my blog. Please look at the following url:

Thank you very much!

My first thought was a video card driver because that will produce the streaks across the screen but usually more extreme.
Then it could be hardware related, do you know the history of the computer, as to any recent changes?
I don't really have a solution and don't want to string you along. But I swap around hardware, and me, I'd pull the video card out and make sure it's seated properly in the AGP or PCI slot on the motherboard. If it's not a on-board video card.
You seem to be showing a dual monitor set-up? If so wouldn't the primary be on the right?
