Low quality when importing through Media Go album art

When the album art is added manually in Media Go, it is scaled to 640 x 640 and recompressed in a<150 kb="" image="" with="" 4:2.0="" chroma="">

The result seen on a smartphone with a screen high resolution range from disappointing to terrible. On the Xperia Z3 with the current application of the Walkman for example, album art is displayed on screen to 787 x 787. 640 x 640 would end up a bit soft but acceptable, but with the extreme comrpession it looks hideous.

During extraction of music FLAC or high flow MP3 or AAC, it is not essential to this work be compressed as much. When I prepare the album art I resize it to 787 x 787 and save it in the format JPEG with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, and depending on the complexity of the art and the setting of the quality, the result usually ends up range from 200 KB to 400 kB. This gives a perfectly acceptable quality to this resolution and is of a reasonable size in 2015.

I don't know why Media Go emphasizes the art of recompression in quality of phone service mid-' 00s era. But I would like the possibility to embed the original JPEG Media Go ' such what» Currently, I have to go through the music with Mp3tag to replace art. It works, but then I have to close Media Go to avoid conflicts of files.

Let the Media Go fetch worst Gracenote art still produce results.

Don't know why photos are put on the scale / compressed in a way but as you say, it's probably because of the size and compatibility for Media Go is used for many different devices. Currently I can only recommend that you use your current solution or use another software to rip your CD.

  • How to get previews of lower quality when working with Full-HD?

    I work with Full-HD video, but I don't have to preview the files (rendering) to be too the 1920 x 1080. It takes a lot of disk space and a lot of time to make the preview files.

    Is it possible to ensure a lower quality? For example, resolution 720 x 405 would be sufficient.

  • How to improve the poor quality when importing the .mts files?

    Hey there,

    This is my problem in a few words: I did the sequence with Canon camcorder, not course specifications about but I could dig them out if necessary. Files/clips are in format .mts and are so open bearable quality on my Windows PC.

    However, when I import them into Adobe Premiere Pro (trial version), they lose spectacular quality, can stop at any second, but more important-, they are all "wavy", with almost scratches on the screen, so the resolution suffers a lot. This can be seen in the Timleine, and it's the same when you export.

    When I create a new sequence, there are options to choose the parameters - maybe this could help? Also, maybe I need to indicate some specific settings during export.

    Sound is OK, though the same as in the source video.

    Thank you, any advice/guess will be highly appreciated!

  • Low Audio when using Windows Media Center

    Hello world.  I have a question.  When I play a movie DVD or CD or anything audio Windows Media Center on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition.  The Audio output is always half of what it is in other programs.

    For example.  When I play music with windows media player, I let my volume of the speaker to about 2.5.  If I play a DVD movie on my computer, I put the volume on the speakers until about 5 # in order to hear the movie.  Then when I return to windows media player volume is very strong (of course because I turned it upward).

    I checked all the audio properties (on the PC under windows), but I can't seem to get the audio level as well as the rest of the Windows Media Center computer?

    No one knows what it wrong here?

    There are many different CODECS out there and search online, using your favorite search engine like www.live.com to "VISTA CODEC PACKS" can find the codec that you need to improve the sound on the videos that are currently playing.  When the right codec also be determine some codec download from a reliable source as the codecs are not created by Microsoft and can be obtained by a third party.

  • How to increase image quality when importing from Illustrator?

    I have a logo that I created in Adobe Illustrator that I try to place in the Muse.  Whenever I do it, it is of very poor quality, blurry and pixelated.  After doing some reading on the discussion Forum, I tried to resize the image in Photoshop and Illustrator, so that I wouldn't have to do it in Muse.  That did not help at all.  I also tried adding transparency 1%, which was not good.  I know it's a high resolution image, so I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing wrong.

    Thoughts?

    Is there a solid white rectangle behind the logo in AI? If this isn't the case, please try again after put an opaque white rectangle 100% behind him.

    When the smoothing of the edges of the content (anti-aliasing), the options are limited, if the background color is specified (transparent). If background colors are known and 100% opaque, much anti-aliasing of higher quality can be obtained.

    PNG preserves transparency. JPEG is opaque. When you go to the JPEG format, I would have expected I have made high quality anti-aliasing, but perhaps this is not the case. If you open the output PNG or JPEG of AI in Photoshop it look pixelated there?

  • Premiere Pro freezes when you import MTS media

    Hello everyone, I have a problem with my Premiere Pro when you import MTS media.

    Last week, I had no problem with this situation. The files are very large, 4 hours of images and about 20 GB, no problem with the import and export, not even an offset when editing.

    But for the past 4 days, I had this problem with the same videos, I try to import their dragging and everything but my guard freezing program and then crashing, I can't with other video formats, just the Multilateral trading system, I work with. I read a bunch of solutions, but they do not work for me. I tried to uninstall and install the first, but nothing. I think it had to do with the last Adobe cloud update, but I'm not sure.

    IM using Windows 10, but as I said before, this has not happened before. I don't know what to do, I hope someone can help me, please.

    Thank you all for the help, you are kind enough to help me.

    I contacted Adobe support and they told me it was a problem with the update, and it would be fixed by the following.

    What I did to just reinstall the previous version. The MTS files worked smoothly, do not freeze import.

  • Loss of quality when sharing

    I've recently updated to Windows Movie Maker for first Elements 8 and when I burned my project, I noticed a significant loss of quality.  The source media is pretty poor, I use a Panasonic VDR-D160 DVD from camcorder mini (Yes it's a nightmare do total import images), and when I import images is a. VOB file.  The stats for the. I work with VOB files are photos of 704 x 576 which goes to 25 frames per second.  The flow is 9558 kbit/s and the total flow is 9814 Kbps.

    The first project that I did is very simple, with minimal editing and without effect.  However, when I burn it to a DVD or a DVD file it modifies the image and 720 x 576 and reduces the data rate and bitrate 7464 Kbps 7656 kbit/s respectively.  This creates an obvious pixelation of the image, especially for the parts of the video that move and can be seen on TV in lower resolution.  Sharing/editing the video, how to keep the same quality as the original?  I have been through the help, and due to my lack of understanding of the elements of the first, I was not able to determine if it's just a matter of changing the settings.

    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, you start with a material that has already been compressed heavily to the format/CODEC MPEG - 2. Then you are editing and a Scaled upward (the DVD spec for PAL) out and then re-compressed in MPEG-2. It is a triple whammie. Because the pre does not have "smart Rendering", what you see is what you get.

    A better choice for the limited edition, basically just cut the material, would be a program that "smart," where all the material, which is not changed, except to remove parts of it, would NOT be converted a second time in MPEG-2. I think that some of the products Sony Vegas, but there are others. If you Google "smart rendering", you will see several programs that have this. I would choose those.

    You will always have the question of the scale, unless you allow your more completely than the electric material specific to be surrounded by black. If evolve you in editing software, even with a smart rendering, it must then be transcoded into MPEG-2 all over again.

    With images, the choices are very limited.

    Good luck and sorry for the bad news.

  • Album art of poor quality in music 9.0.1.A.0.1

    On my Sony Xperia M2, some album arts are a very low quality displayed in full screen in music. Fortunately, most of them have been fixed by downloading the album art in the music app is unfortunately not find some albums and some of the arts are downloaded by the music are a low quality.
    If I mark the file (are all my MP3 files) and add a cover to the music still displays low-resolution track. This happens with 500 x 500 and even 1000 x 1000. And Yes, I deleted the previous coverage through the music and then it displays a new.
    If I choose a photo that I have saved on my phone and add it to the file .mp3 through music, he is always displayed in low resolution.

    In fact I don't use Media Go to copy my files .mp3 on my SD card, but instead I copy using Windows Explorer with a SD card adapter.

    Does anyone know how to get the music to show the album art in high quality?

    Or the art of the album needs to be in a specific resolution if I tag my music files, so that they display correctly?

    The version of the music I use is 9.0.1.A.0.1.

    I hope that my problem can be solved.
