REDWAGON Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Your uploaded video did not come through ?? Try again. You talk about "pictures" ? In the video or ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimicher Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Why Divx? Just to try., to compare Unfortunately, MyDVD does not accept that format. I want to make a standard DVD, to play on my TV. For that, I need to create some Video files. One for each item on the menu. The best quality I can get. In this sample,some pictures come up with blurred areas, in some areas of the pictures. As if that area was totally out of focus. It does not affect the whole picture, nor does it affect all the pictures. I uploaded the video. Pls watch it Outputting to DivX would be a waste of time anyway if you are trying to create a video DVD. To get the best quality you have to select "HQ" quality in myDVD. A standard 4.7GB DVD can only hold 60 minutes of HQ video Of course you must have also selected "DVD, best quality" in Videowave when you are outputting to a video file there.

Holuigue Posted November 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 I start with a set of still pictures (JPG) They become"views" If you like when viewed through Videowave 3 o 5 seconds each The blurring I talk about happens while going through "export": it is not there when I use Preview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDWAGON Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 If you saved your Videowave production (dmsn file) in a folder somewhere, go to where you saved it and find the same name file only with a "dat" extension. Delete only the dat file and then go back and re-open your videowave production and see if you have the same problem. Videowave will re-create the dat file again.

Holuigue Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Issue closed I will use Microsoft Movie Maker I just re-created the same short sequence that I uploaded. MPEG-4. No problem. No smudges. Sharp images I will use MyDVD, but with MS manufactured Videos I thought I was reporting a significant bug, that developers would be interested in. How silly !

You posted a text file with a link to 'One Drive' with a video. 2. I told you I edited that post and placed the link in your post. 3. Then you post a ms word .doc that contained nothing. 4. If you look at the video properties on 'One Drive' they are in the pic below. 5. I don't know how you made the video in Roxio but the 1Mbps is why your video on 'One Drive' looks and is so bad!

Holuigue Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I am using Videowave, not MyDVD When I click Export as, there is no option such as "High Quality" or "Fit to disk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bimicher Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 You picked one of the lower quality formats "ARCHOS MPEG4". Since you want to create a DVD, why not pick the DVD quality right away in Videowave? There is a DVD mpeg2 (Best quality) in the Videowave output setting. All DVD video is in a 720x480mpeg (or 720x576 for PAL) format. Why degrade quality by doing any intermediate steps, especially since they reduce the qulaity. Everything has to be re-rendered again to DVD mpeg! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
