Recommended Codec/Frame Size for Enhanced Audio CD

I've just been asked to render a music video compatible with Enhamced Audio CD format. basically it's an Audio CD with a portion set aside for data where the video will reside.
The file has to play in real time off of the CD.
Anyone know of some rock solid, widely available codecs/recommended frame size that will work?
The net seems devoid of good solid info on this.

Having done some digging, it seems an .M4v H.264 encoded and running at about 640x360 should do the trick. Some indication on the packaging needs to specify QT 7 or above either Mac or PC to view the video side of the disc.
This happily plays off a 8x CD drive.
SVCD is old technology, superceded by DVD. H.264 is the way forward!
Thanks.

  • Advice on sequence settings - frame size for VHS video in FCP

    Hello,
    I was hoping that I could get some advice on editing and output for video captured from VHS Tapes to ensure the best quality possible.
    My current workflow to digitize the VHS tapes is:
    VHS signal from JVC S7600u with TBC into ADVC 300 (no de-interlace or other filters set) into a Mac Pro via firewire.  Capture preset in FCP is DV NTSC 48khz.
    Once in FCP - the captured VHS video frame size is 720 X 480, Vid rate is 29.97, pixel aspect is NTSC-CCIR 601 and field dominance is lower (even)
    My questions are:
    If my final destination is for You Tube sharing , are these the best sequence/ frame size settings or should I convert the sequence frame size to 640 X 480, or should I leave at 720 X 480 while working in FCP and then output to Compressor and select the H264 you tube sharing video setting and change the frame size to 640 X 480? 
    Should I de- interlace for internet/youtube destination?
    Should I de-interlace for DVD/TV destination?
    If I want to burn the finished project to DVD and watch the video on a progressive montitor/ TV screen, what would be the best settings/frame size for that?
    If any of you out there have experience with editing vcr/analog video in FCP and have a good workflow to ensure best quality, I would really appreciate  any advice/suggestions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Digitize to 720X480 frame size in FCP. In compressor, your YouTube preset will automatically deinterlace and a square pixel aspect ratio.No deinterlacing for DVD.

  • Is it possible to set frame size for a new project ?

    Hi all,
    i would like to create a video in which there will be 2 videos playing the same content from a different angle.
    Each video is 512 x 384 .
    So i would like to set the frame size of the project as 1024 x 768 in order both videos to exist.
    I searched around for tutorials regarding this but i didn't find anything similar.It seems as if i cannot set the frame size of the project from the start.
    So,is there a way to do this?
    Thank you for your time reading this.
    Regards,
    nikits72.

    Hi and thank you for your answers.
    @->shoternz
    It will be displayed in my monitor and probably on you tube.Btw your remark on size was very accurate.Didn't think of that.
    Although i could use a little bigger height to use it to display a logo or something....
    I am very premiere newbie as you can understand.

  • Converting Frame Size for Final Cut

    I have XDCAM HD .mov files that are 1440x1080, which I converted through Streamclip to 1920x1080.  And 2 problems arose:
    1)  the 1st time I imported them in the Project I had the right Frame Size : 1920x1080, but the wrong Pixel Aspect : HD (1440x1080) instead of Square.
    2)  the 2nd time I looked for an Option in Streamclip to select the Pixel Aspect, but there is none.   I imported the 1920x1080 files into the project, and they appeared as 1440x1080 files!!!
    I also tried creating a sequence with the desired specs (Frame Size and Pixel Aspect) and said NO when asked to conform the Sequence to the Clip.  It worked but the RED Rendering will take forever.
    Do you have a better solution?  
    Could the problem be my Version 6 Final Cut?  Or am I missing something?  I would be most grateful for any suggestion.

    If you have iTunes 9 or higher, go to +iTunes > Preferences > General+. Under 'When inserting a CD' select any one of the three import options. Then click +Import Settings > Import Using > AIFF Encoder.+ In the same panel, click +Setting > Custom.+ Select +Sample Rate = 48Khz, Sample Size = 16 bit, Channels = Stereo.+ Then click +OK, OK, OK.+
    Then in your Library, select the song you want to convert. Then do +Advanced > Create AIFF Version.+ iTunes will make a copy of the song & convert it to AIFF.

  • Frame size for a project to be displayed on a projector

    I'm doing a project - probably all photographs - that will be shown on a 1024x768 projector. Is there an advantage to making the project frame size 1024x768? If I also want it on a DVD, will the shrinking/cropping affect the quality at all?
    Thanks!

    If it's a slide show, why not use software designed for it? Photoshop, Arpeture, or even iPhoto will work for this, and it will look great.
    If you then burn a video DVD, it will degrade it obviously because the frame size, and image quality loss will be noticeable... you're going to SD video after all.

  • Compression: what's right frame size for anamorphic film using H.264 Lan?

    i have an anamorphic (16:9) 25 minute film i want to export using Compression's H.264 Lan option (for web-posting purposes). What settings do I need for the frame size to keep it at its original proportions? i thought that 720 x 405 would do the trick, but it is slightly off, makes some of the images rather oval.
    thanks much....

    x & patrick,
    thanks for your help & desire for further clarification.
    i am dealing with a sequence composed largely of footage from a panasonic pv-gs500 using the widescreen mode. i don't know if it's "true" anamorphic or 16:9, but it's on an anamorphic timeline and looks just fine there.
    i experimented all nite last nite trying to get the right ratio for the compression type i mentioned. it looks like i finally succeeded using 740 x 416. i have no idea WHY this works, but when viewing the final exported product, it looks pretty perfect. i think it cuts off a teeny tiny bit of the height, not even noticeable.
    any explanation of WHY this ratio works would be welcome, to help along my understanding....

  • To calculate Header size for an audio file.

    HI ALL
    Iam displaying the wave form for an audio file opened(.wav, .au ...etc) and doing any edit operation (cut for example) my waveform is shown with extra header (bytes) added to this wave form, i want to get rid of this. That's why i want to calculate the Header Size, which i heard that header size is not constant for all the files(even same two .wav files).
    Any Ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    find the documentation for the .wav file format :P

  • Creating custom frame size for ProRes?

    This would be an addendum to my previous question about frame sizes.
    Say I have a bunch of odd-sized png files ... and want to convert them to a ProRes HQ clip ... but they have this odd size (which we need to keep). 1428 x 1050. Can I make an odd frame size ProRes HQ 8 bit clip? And if so, any tips on how to do it right?

  • Why no option to choose frame size for shooting?

    I would like to shoot with 16x9 to begin with, so I can frame it up and use the whole screen as I hold it up to shoot.
    So why is there no option to choose the frame size to begin with? Why do we have to shoot it then edit it later to the suited frame size?
    Thank you!

    I ask again...... thanks

  • Image Size for Enhanced podcasts

    Hi
    I've started producing enhanced podcasts but the images never look good. Most are grainy. I've stuck with iTunes recommendation for art work of 300 x 300 pixels at 72 dpi. Is ther a better size/setting?

    I've never understood why Apple recommends only 72dpi - perhaps to reduce storage space on their servers. ...Your G5 and PC screens are probably much higher resolution. MacBooks are around 110ppi. Try upping the image setting from 72 to 110 and see if that reduces the grainy appearance.

  • Recommended Media File Size for 56kbs connection

    What would be the largest single media file size when
    developing an adobe presenter course deployed through and LMS
    keeping the min connection to 56kbs in mind?
    Our current standard is trying to keep each media file under
    200k. Our courses typically have audio and this is where it becomes
    an issue. The audio quality suffers by publishing it out to a low
    quality. I would love to be able to publish our courses with the
    best setting, but this bloats the mp3 file to be quite large. Is a
    200k file to strict for a min connection of 56kbs? Should the mp3
    be optimized before being imported into the breeze presentation?
    Any tips or best practices would be helpful.
    Thanks in Advance!!!

    Yes, reading other articles, record in MP3 outside Presenter
    and then import the MP3 audio. MP3 audio is already compressed and
    Presenter may add a little more compression.
    I would also try to optimise other bits and pieces in the
    PPT, like having the same font rather than all different ones and
    optimising image qualitly, lessen the qualitly of your back ground
    images.
    The other option is a hassel but an option, have 2 PPT files,
    one high res and one low res.
    Remember that Breeze does stream to internet connections. The
    end result of the user being able to play the Presentation will be
    the same regardless of the internet connection. Internet speed is
    only about the speed of whihc it can download.

    Is there any recommended filesystem blocksize where redo log should be placed?
    We have tested with 512 bytes and 4096 bytes. We got better performance on 512 bytes in terms of avg wait on log file sync.
    Is there oracle/Aix recommendation on the same?

  • Adjusting frame size for drop zones

    I posted this question in the Final Cut Forum, but I thought this might be a good place to ask as well.
    I exported a wide screen movie out of fce and plopped it on a drop zone on the main theme page in iDVD. The movie has that black band at the top like like it would if it was being played as a wide screen movie on your tv. It there a setting I can adjust to make that movie completely that drop zone?
    Thank you,
    Scott

    I wish I had good news for you but I do not. I've been working for the last hour trying to find a solution for you and I cannot within iDvd alone. This particular theme is highly limited on my own system as well.
    I'm wondering if there might be a way to resize the movie in QT Pro but it will take me considerably more time to find this type of solution for a movie as opposed to a still image.
    I won't have a solution for you today but I will keep this in mind.

  • What do the "Automatic" settings do for Frame size and Frame rate in Compressor 4.1.1?

    Can anyone tell me, very specifically and with technical detail, what the "Automatic" settings do (in Compressor 4.1.1) for the following setting attributes: (1) Frame size and (2) Frame rate
    Thank you!

    Hi, in addition to Russ's advice for the VIDEO PROPERTIES in the Inspector, you might consider the "automatic" options being proposed by compressor.app V4.1.x as OPTIMAL for the destination codec you have specified that deviate (or differ in some way) form the MASTER (source) from where your are transcoding. There's no real TECHNICAL detail. These UI values simply are passed as parameters to the codec. The image/audio results can be PREVIEWed ofcourse in the compressor.app V4.1.x UI (Current PAne) ... us the slider and the timeline to determine final taste!
    Suggested Examples may include:
    REDUCED frame rate for a slower device or stream or bit rate or destination dleivery platform
    reduced bit rate for older devices
    smaller FRAME SIZE for say SD devices specified
    INCREASED frame size with added "padding" in a situation like LETTERBOXING (4:3 in a 17:9 for example.. may others)
    ye old PAL to NTSC conversion
    inter-frame group of pictures (GOP) for distribution.
    Scaling
    retiming
    cropping verses scaling
    or simply what compressor.app "thinks" would work best - usually the best for most work.
    others will have many more suggestions.
    Also note that there are some nice  overidding settings in the inspector/Video for resizing and retiming and Cropping you might consider.
    For client based production distributions, many of us use CUSTOMISED settings. You may create and delete these on an AS NEEDED basis.
    Lastly, There's likely a good write up the defaults in the latest Compressor.app V4.1 Users Guide PDf - you might want to pull it down from http://manuals.apple.com and shove it in ibooks.app. I recommend getting a copy. Also get the latest FCPX 10.1 Users Guide and Motion while you're there. Great for iPAD and iPHONE too if you get bored.
    FWIW.

  • Working with many different formats/codecs/frame rates within one Sequence.

    Good Afternoon,
    As an editor for an ad agency I am being tasked with cutting a demo reel together. Nothing too difficult.
    The reel is to include video footage of past projects, going back a couple years or so. The footage that I will be given will undoubtably be in a variety of formats, codecs, frame sizes, frame rates, etc (all SD, though). Delivery is SD DVD.
    My question is this:
    What is the best way to set up my timeline for a barrage of clips with differing specs?
    Do I encode all the media assets FIRST to conform to my Sequence Settings? Or do I just deal with the large amounts of timeline rendering as I work with different formats and codecs? Or do I....?
    I am running FCP 5.1.4, so I don't have the Open Timeline feature going for me.
    I appreciate any advice and tips you can offer!
    Thanks!

    Your final format is NTSC SD DVD, so you're going to have to go to 720x480 at some point. This is what I would upscale to. Make sure your "client" knows that the 320x240 wmv's may not look to good in the final production.
    Personally I use MPEG Streamclip (an excellent FREE application that's part of many a pro's arsenal) for this kind of conversion and/or upscaling. It's not particularly intuitive (especially for upscaling) so read the manual.
    You may need to get hold of Flip4Mac or Episode for the wmv conversions.
    I would tend to convert to a lossless codec like Apple Uncompressed or Animation. You could try going to NTSC-DV but you're going to lose some quality initially and again when you do the final mpeg2 compression.
    Experiment.
