Hello,

I am a new Mac owner - moving off of MS - I just couldn't take it anymore !!!

Here is my set up - I have a 42 inch LG Plasma (3 years old)
Dennon AVR
Mac Mini Running through receiver (DVI to HDMI) and from the receiver to Plasma HDMI

My setting for my disply within the mac mini is set to 1028 X 764 resolution of my TV -

-----------------------------------------------------------

last night I uploaded about 20 min of HD video from my Sony HDR H3 Handycam - Play back of that same file in IDVD looks fine - Imovie looks fine too when I load up the file to edit-

however, when I play the file with frontrow when ever the camera moves it becomes jagged - when the camera image is still it looks perfect - its just when there is motion the picture becomes jagged -


I hope that i am clear - glad to be part of this forum I have already learned a ton - just not enought i guess-


I installed VLC and It does the same thing -

the mini plays .AVI files fine - so I know it has to be a setting -

has anyone experienced this in the past ? any other information you need -

2gb of memory installed as well -

- If I shrink the window size down - I dont see any jagged edges when there is motion -

man and my Drobo will be here anyday now - I have to get this fixed .... I have about 100 Video_TS files ripped as well has about 300g of HD Footage ...



Any Help would be greatly appreciated

its very possible the camera is recording interlaced content.
If you don't want to re-encode, one of your choices is to use vlc and ensure its set to deinterlace.

good luck.

What is Vide? I'll assume it's a typo of either Wide or Video?

:confused:
