Neoslim22 0 #1 July 16, 2009 I have a PC-101 and when I hook it up to my TV and watch the playback the quality looks good. But when I imported it into Windows Movie Maker and post it on the web the quality looks like crap. I used a mini usb cable to transfer from camera to pc. Anyone have any ideas to make the quality any better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #2 July 16, 2009 Need to use firewire to transfer the video. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #3 July 16, 2009 In addition to Dave's comment to xfer via firewire vs USB, bear in mind that your computer shows only progressive scan information, and your camera is interlaced. Watched on a computer, interlaced content is quite often bad. Some NLE applications de-interlace for you during the editing application. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neoslim22 0 #4 July 16, 2009 Buddy of mine has a PC 109 I know its a newer cam, but he uses Windows Movie to and his videos are very good quality. I will try the firewire tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #6 July 18, 2009 I wouldn't have expected it to. I believe you're seeing interlaced footage on a computer monitor. Play it back on a television monitor, your problem won't be visible. In other words, edit the footage, then print to tape. Play the tape on a standard television, it'll be fine. If you use a higher quality editing system, you'll be able to deinterlace the footage in the app, although there are few reasons to deinterlace when the source is SD. Does this make sense?

Neoslim22 0 #7 July 20, 2009 Yeah I think so. Do you have a video editing program you recommend?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSE 5 #10 October 13, 2009 To what codec are you rendering that is being submitted to youtube? After a LOT of experimenting, we've found that full SD resolution MP4 @ 2Mbps or full SD resolution WMV files at 1.5 Mbps are best. We submit HD in MP4 only, at 1280 x 720, 10Mbps. Search for VASST on YouTube or vimeo to see the quality. Youtube squeezes it small, but they have very good encoders to Flash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neoslim22 0 #11 October 13, 2009 Dont have a clue about the codec, where would I look for that? but my setting are MPEG2 720x480 29.97 drop frame here is the link to youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t84_orr4YU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #12 October 13, 2009 youtube doesn't do well with MPEG2 as the source. output to MPEG 4 instead. You'll have a better result. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
