"target" file size for streaming?

Newbie question #2 (Many thanks in advance!)
I understand that the answer is relative to the uncompressed file size, but I'm trying to figure out a target file size (how small) for a 250 Mb file (a 30-second movie) to stream on the web. Should I be aiming for 25 Mb? 100 Mb? 8 Mb? Just looking for a ballpark, if that's possible.
If this question misses a critical point, feel free to let me know!
Thanks, e

If your going to use h.264 try 400 or 600 kbits/sec for the video (2passes, B-Frames). To tests, copy about 30 seconds of the video into a new Quicktime. If it look good to you then compress the original video. You can go as low as 300 kbit/sec. It all depends on the content of the video as to what bit rate you should use.
As for the audio use AAC at no higher than 128 kbps. You can go lower and use mono. There again it depends on what the audio is.
I just compressed a 320x240 at:
300...1MB
400...1.3MB
600...2.1MB

Applet for figuring bitrate based on target file size?

Occasionally when I'm exporting quicktimes for emailing to people with known restrictions on incoming file sizes, I'd love to be able to specify the target file size as opposed to the bitrate.
Does anyone know of any applets that can generate a rough estimate of what you should set the bitrate to in order to achieve a target file size given the length of the clip?
Sounds like a widget in the making to me...

Target File Size Too Large?

Hello,
We have an interface, that takes a Source File-> Transforms it in the Staging Area ->and outputs a Target File.
The problem is the target file is way too large than what it is supposed to be.
We do have the 'Truncate Option' turned ON, so its not duplicate records..
We think its the Physical and Logical Lengths that are defined for the Target files.
We think the logical length is way too large causing substantial 'spaces' between the data columns thereby increasing the file size.
We initially had the Logical Length for the data columns as 12 and we got the following error:
Arithmetic Overflow error converting numeric to data type numeric.
When we increased the Logical Length from 12 to 20 the interface executed fine without errors. But now the target file size is just way too large 1:5
Any suggestions to prevent these additional spaces in the target columns??
Appreciate your inputs!
Thanks

Since 'File-system' does not have a property 'column length', ODI will automatically set a standard 'column length' according to the datatype of the column. In your case, as both your source and target is File, check the max length of each column in your source ( Ex: if your file is huge then open the file in excel and verify the lengths) and set the same 'Logical length' for your target file datastore.
drop the temporary tables (set the 'delete temp objects' option to 'true' in the KMs) and re-run the Interface. hope this helps.
Thanks,
Parasuram.

What is the recommended maximum file size for a VI ?

1.) I am involved in documenting a project that includes LabView developed controls for a built from scratch test instrument. The LabView I am wading through involves multiple VIs, many of which are large files that are difficult to decipher. I would like the programmer to consider reducing the VI file sizes by breaking the large VIs up into sets of smaller VIs. What would be a target file size to shoot for?
2.) Is it possible to avoid the use of global variables in LabView projects made up of multiple sub-VIs?
Lost in Code

Probably better guidelines that dictates 'size' of a vi are:
typically no more than 1 video screen in size
is it legible
and is it's function and operation clear.
I have seen examples of '1 vi does it all' that were many screens wide and tall, totally a flustercuck, and nearly 1 MB in size.
Globals and local variables (except for LV2 style) are typcially shunned for they can create a host of problems (race conditions, indeterminant data).
Use connector pane to wire controls and indicators to. Then use wires between vi's to transfer data. I tend to use clusters to hold shared data.

Target file size and Bitrates help

I am trying to make my 2minute 40 second video become a file size of no larger than 100MB. Right now it's 470MB and that was after I converted it with MPEG Streamclip to a smaller version that I could upload. Is there an easy way to calculate the maximum bitrate to make your existing video the right size? I noticed some bitrate calculators but none of them are for web video's and I don't see any that have a target file size. Short of taking an encoding class for this project I could use some suggestions.

Export from fcp with current settings and bring that into compressor. Use one of the apple: otherworkflows: web: quicktime 7 compatible.. When you apply them they'll give you an estimate (just an estimate) of the file size in the summary window. It's a good place to start. If you're going to be resizing, I'd strongly recommend that you turn on frame controls in the frame controls panel and set the resizing filter to best.
Once you've found your ideal settings, you can save this customized preset and apply it to other files.

What is an idea of maximum file size for a film in Captivate?

Hi there,
I'm creating an elearning course in Captivate 7, and it is being published as HTML5. This means the films I've imported are being converted to MP4s, and they are around 10-20mb in size once they've converted. They seem very slow to load on some computers - do you think the file size is too big? Or could it be another issue? Does anyone have a recommendation for maximum file size for films? They are 572 x 322px and around 1-2 mins in length.
Thanks in advance

How do I find a file size for a project in its entirety ???, How do I find a file size for a project in its entirety ???

How do I find a file size for a aperture project in its entirety ????

You can't. The Aperture library is a combination of database and flat files, a project can be split among multiple files in combination with other projects. The size of any of those files (or a sum of the files) would have no meaning concerning the size of a project.
BTW typing in a large bold font like you did is seen by many in then on-line community as a sign of shouting and is considered bad form. I'm sure you didn't mean to shout at us here as we are all just users here freely giving of our time to try and help folk like yourself so please in the future use the standard font.

Maximum file size for export into MP4?

Hello,
I am not able to export 2 hour HD video into standard MP4 file. It seems that reaching 100% export algorithm gets into loop. I was waiting for hours and still had seen progress at exactly 100% with final file size on hard disk to be 0 bytes. I am using CS5 on MAC OS X. I had to split my timeline to 2 parts and to export them separately (which is embarrasing). Is there something like maximum file size for export? I guess that 2h video would have about 25-35GB.
Thank you
jiri

You are right.
So I am running AP Pro 5.0.4, Adobe Media Encoder 5.0.1.0 (64bit). Operating system Mac OS X ver 10.7.3. All applications are up to date.
MacBook Pro Intel i5 2.53GB, 8GB RAM, nVidia GT 330M 256 MB, 500GB HDD
Video is 1920x1080 (AVCHD) 25fps in a .MTS container (major part of timeline), 1280x720 30fps in .MOV container (2mins), Still images 4000x3000 in .JPG
No error message is generated during export - everything finishes without any problem...just file created has 0 byte size (as described above).
This is my largest video project (1h 54min) I dont have any other problem with other projects.
I dont run any other special software, at the moment of export all usual applications are closed so that MacBook "power" can go to Media Encoder. No codecs installed, using VLC Player or Quick Time.
Attached please find printscreen from Export settings (AP Pro). Writing this ppost I tried to export only the first 4mins from timeline where all kind of media is used...and it was OK.
As a next step I will try to export (same settings) 1h 30mins as I still believe problem comes with length of video exported.
Let me know your opinion

Maximum file size for importing into Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I'm considering recording raw video, no compression at 720p, 30 fps for 20-30 min. This woudl result in a file that is close to 80 Gbytes. I'm wondering what the maximum file size for importing into premiere Pro is and if I need to split this file up into smaller pieces. Any recommendations on how I may deal with uncompressed raw video that is pretty long in length?
Thanks,
Serena

There is bound to be some limit somewhere in the program, but you should be well below that. The biggest issue might be whether your computer is up to the task of handling it. If you will post your computer specs., someone will give you comments on that aspect.
Good luck,

Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" failed to start with the following error: 0xC0000035
As suggested above I assume this is a microsoft issue? It has been discussed here and other forums for quite some time. I never have seen a fix? I wish when we received errors of this nature microsoft would tell us what they were. How is this related to superfetch? What is superfetch? Why would superfetch have changed?
BY THE WAY.... Superfetch is on(started) is on automatic and logs on as local system. So this is not the cause of my issue. Also what is readyboot? Does the average computer really know what these programs/services or unique microsoft words/terms are?

Can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac

i have ripped a lot of my cds to itunes on my MBA. i used the aac high quality setting.
is there a way that i can upload lower quality/smaller size versions of the songs that i will put on my new iphone ?
Q2: once i rip cd into itunes (on my MBA)... is there an easy way I can later decide to save space and re encode them at 128 instead of 256 (for example).
i notice that you cant just willy nilly copy/delete from the itunes media folder because itunes doesnt seem to 'refresh' with the new files.
thx!

1. the ONLY place i see where you can set the sampling rate,etc is under preferences/general/'when a cd is inserted".... am i missing something?
No.
2. when i want to add an existing mp3 file (from outside the apple realm) , i am using itunes "add to library" and browsing to some mp3 file(s) . it doesnt give me a option to convert it to an m4a format... it seems to just add it to the itunes library without changing the mp3 file .... do i have any option here?
You don't need to convert formats and I would not recommend you do so. You will simply lose quality.
To answer your original question...
can i have a smaller file size for songs that i put on iphone vs mac
If you want smaller files on the iPhone, see my post above which converts them when syncing to theiPhone.
If you really want to convert when adding songs to iTunes...
iTunes prefs > General - Import settings as you want.
Hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and choose File > Create New Version > Convert AAC (or what your settings are in previous step).
This will convert and add the file instead of adding the file then converting and having 2 of the same song in iTunes.

What is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

what is theoptimal file size for stills, and dpi?

In video dpi is not relevent. What counts in video is pixels. In FCP most recommendations I have seen is to size your stills so they have no more than 3 times the pixels in your project aspect ratio. For example if your project is 1280x720 then stills should be no more than 3 times the 1280x720. This allows you to crop the stills and still have good resolution. If no cropping is anticipated then they could be the same size as your project.

Average file size for an app

Apparently the smaller the file size the better but I would like to know what's the average or "ideal" file size for an app that contains videos/audio?

That will depend on the platform you are aiming the game for. File>New will give you some ideas in the presets.
