Best Video Viewing
We at hi-defworld
strive to produce the best video experience possible.
To do this there are a number of issues to consider.
NOTE: When watching
a video on the the internet, keep in mind that almost all video blurriness is
inherently caused from the auto-focus going nuts during any active scene and
may not be
any of
the following and...no matter what camera is used there is always a time lag
in
auto-focus during any active shoot. Auto-focus does not stop moving until the
camera does.
Hollywood type video will always look better because of controlled focus.
Auto-focus is great
for
everything except resolution.
1.
De-fragment your computer.
2. Virus Protection software running in the background will jerk or
freeze a video.
3. Too many programs running in the background. Check your system tray,
(lower right by the clock)
If you have un-needed programs
running...right click on the un-needed program icon and choose
exit to shut it down.
4. Always! Do an ad/spyware scan...symptoms- video jerky or freezing plus slow
internet speed.
(If you use a "free" adware remover the
quarantine will not work...you must scan every time
you go off line. Adware is
re-installed every time you visit just about any web site, because it's
not illegal. You can get as
many as a dozen adware bugs by visiting just one web page.
One adware bug can effect the video
playback of any computer no matter how new and fast or
what the internet connection speed
is).

5. The video you watch on your computer doesn't necessarily look the
same as on the
computer monitor where it was edited. A
video editor would use a high-end graphics card, computer
and monitor which could produce different
resolution, color, contrast and bright/dark display. Each
monitor has it's own display settings for
bright/dark, contrast and color saturation.
This is why we suggest Windows Media
10 or 11 ... it has the adjusters on the front of the player unlike
smaller players. A "perfect video"
will only be as good as
the settings of the display it's on, you need the
ability to adjust it for "your" computer and monitor.
Some laptops especially may need video
enhancements.
When the video starts, click on "view"
(next to "file, edit"- upper left) then select "enhancements" and
then "Video Settings" ...adjust as needed.
For full screen, right click on the screen, when
the menu opens...select "full screen".
6. If you have broadband DSL and the video was encoded for cable
broadband it may buffer more.
(No matter how new or fast your
computer is).
7. If you use cable or DSL and still can't get good video, the processor
in your computer may not be
powerful enough, especially if you
don't have a graphics card to go with it.
8. The dimensional size of the video may be too large for your processor
to handle smoothly.
