There is a measurable improvement in the quality of the footage transferred by Better Pictures from video to DVD. This is achieved by using professional image enhancement technology (including Line Time Base Correction - LTBC) that stabilizes and enhances video footage before it is transferred to DVD.

Kaleidescape Movie Players and Music Players provide reference-quality audio and video output that is comparable to the very best CD and DVD players that are available today.

The quality of the recordings is really based on your original material. Usually the DVD's image will be the same as the original but we cannot garuntee what quality you will get. The longer the film footage then the quality will reduce slightly.

No. The Kaleidescape System imports an exact digital copy of the DVD or CD onto the Server, without removing any copy protection. No additional compression is applied; therefore no quality is lost. The same exact bits (including copy protection) are streamed via Ethernet to a Player. Kaleidescape's Players use state-of-the-art DVD and CD playback hardware and software to provide reference-quality video and audio playback.

Musevox Multimedia we transfer video to DVD in high quality MPEG2 format. The video signal remains at a full 720 X 480 pixels and 30 frames per second. No frames are dropped during DVD recording. For TV viewing the DVDs will play as high as 525 lines of resolution, 60 fields/sec, depending upon the TV system used for playback. The audio is recorded in either PCM stereo or mono, depending on the original sound on the videotape being transferred.

DVD has the capability to produce near-studio-quality video and better-than-CD-quality audio. DVD is vastly superior to videotape and generally better than laserdisc (see 2.8.). However, quality depends on many production factors. As compression experience and technology improves we will see increasing quality, but as production costs decrease we will also see more shoddily produced discs.

No. The Kaleidescape System imports an exact digital copy of the movie or album onto the Server. No additional compression is applied, therefore no quality is lost. The DVD and CD bits (including copy protection, if applicable) are streamed via Ethernet to a Movie Player or Music Player in the home. The Kaleidescape Movie Player and Music Player use state-of-the-art DVD and CD playback hardware and software to provide reference-quality video and audio playback.

For video, Cinematize 2 alows you to choose whether to keep the full original quality or to reduce the quality to save disk space. You can save full quality uncompressed video, or choose among any of the video compression codecs supported by QuickTime. For audio, Cinematize 2 decodes audio to AIFF or WAV but preserves the full original quality. No, you don't need the actual DVD disc. Cinematize will work fine with DVD data stored on your hard drive.

Yes. For video tracks, you may choose to decode the video into any of the codecs supported by QuickTime. Using the decoding options provided by Cinematize, you can control the trade-off between file size and video quality. You can also extract the video data in full original quality. For audio tracks, Cinematize will always preserve the full original quality. You may choose to decode to AIFF/WAV/MOV or to save the audio undecoded.

Although we can send you an audio and video signal over the Internet, the Internet does not have the capacity to send you enough of the video and audio signal to give it television or CD quality. This is especially true if you are using a modem and dialing into and Internet Service Provider. If you are with a great Internet Service Provider, you have never had to wait for anything to download from the Internet.

DVD has the capability to produce near-studio-quality video and better-than-CD-quality audio. DVD is vastly superior to videotape and generally better than laserdisc (see 2.8.). However, quality depends on many production factors. Until compression experience and technology improves we will occasionally see DVDs that are inferior to laserdiscs.

DVD-Video is primarily a visual medium that offers more than twice the picture quality of VHS. In addition, DVD-Video offers stereo and compressed multi-channel surround sound utilizing Dolby Digital or DTS encoding. In the same way that DVD-Video offers improved picture quality compared to other video playback formats, DVD-Audio offers improved sound quality compared to what is possible with either DVD-Video or CDs.

A DVD video player is a set top device designed to play video titles such as movies, music videos and instructional videos. It offers high quality video and audio with limited interactive capabilities. A DVD ROM drive connects to your computer and offers similar capabilities to the DVD video player with additional complex features programmed to run on the computer itself. A DVD audio player offers higher quality audio than today's Compact Disc.

The quality of the recordings is VHS video quality. The audio output is MPEG I audio quality. The output of the recorded media depends on your input source. Example if your input source is from a VHS source, then you will get VHS quality. If your source is from a DVD source, you will get MPEG I video quality. The machine also accepts digital audio source in to be recorded onto CD.

The number one thing is to get a faster modem, or a DSL connection! Other than that, pressing the pause button increases the buffer size. The longer you pause the video, the better it will look and sound once it begins playing.

Yes, both AVChat 2 and AVConference offer total controls over the quality of video/audio. Here's what you can change Yes you can, and as a webmaster with access to the configuration files you can also limit how many video streams users can view at one time.

When DVD was released in 1996 there was no DVD-Audio format, although the audio capabilities of DVD-Video far surpassed CD. The DVD Forum sought additional input from the music industry before defining the DVD-Audio format. A draft standard was released by the DVD Forum's Working Group 4 (WG4) in January 1998, and version 0.9 was released in July. The final DVD-Audio 1.0 specification was approved in February 1999 and released in March. DVD-Audio is a separate format from DVD-Video.

The SACD and DVD-Audio formats are not supported by the Kaleidescape System at this time. It is unlikely that we will support SACD or DVD-Audio due to the tepid market acceptance and declining sales of these audio formats.

We want to provide you with the best quality results. Our charge for either our High-Quality or our Standard-Quality is basically the same, except for encoding and burning additional DVD discs. Our High Quality encoding improves picture quality by increasing the average video data rate over of our Standard 2 hour encoding. This additional data can fill the DVD disc twice as fast.

Primarily the audio specs. The DVD-V has a maximum audio data rate of 6.144Mbs while DVD-A's bit rate is 9.6Mbps. DVD-A has provisions for MLP lossless encoding to enable multichannel 96/24 audio program. DVD-A can also contain two channels of 192/24 program.
