What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch?

What is the best way to format Videos for ipod touch? Used Quicktime Pro/ Export (iPhone setting). Videos aren't as crisp as downloaded Videos. Compressors /ipod video Setting also looks crapy (with bitrate med & High). What should I use?

Visualhub is a transcoder with multiple input and output formats with specific setting for iPod,iPod touch. Costs around $19-used to work great but recently everything I convert suffers audio crash than closes out the player. Hopefully they will fix it.
Elgato H.264 hardware transcoder is $99 dollars(USB stick that plugs in to Mac)-speeds up encoding of any file quicktime can handle, settings for apple tv, iphone/touch, ipod,Sony PSP. Worth the cost if you transcode a lot of video for the Touch or own an elgato HD tuner. Files work flawlessly and look great.
Mpeg streamclip-free. Works great, has presets or can customize the output.

  • What is the best way to create videos for my website?

    Hi,
    I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia.  I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers.  I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
    What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers?  I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...?  Any suggestions welcome.
    Thank you

    Trevor:
    This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
    Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder.  Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent.  CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
    I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size.  You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
    As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
    This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
    to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

  • What's The Best Way to Load a Replacement iPod Touch?

    I just received a replacement iPod Touch 3G for my daughter. Her iTunes library for the Touch that we returned to Apple is on her MacBook Pro. What is the best way to load the new Touch? She plans on using the same name for it. Should I restore from a previous backup or just plug it in and let in sync? Do I need to set anything on iTunes for disk management?
    Thank you,
    Bruce

    If she wants it like her old one the previous backup, if there is anything she wants to change though, now would be a perfect time to just resync it and start over. It really depends on what she wants.

  • What is the best way to format a novel w headers  w/o changing the ...

    what is the best way to format a novel w headers w/o changing the following pages. I've used Microsoft office initially, but publishing house uses a program called word perfect. I find that I have too many blank white pages no matter what i do! Have to fix pagination as well...Paul

    When you start you are offered templates under 2 categories "Word Processing" and "Layout", choose wisely.
    For header and footers yes, you will have to:
    +Menu > Insert > Section break+ at the bottom of the last page of the section you wish to preserve.
    Then you can change the next section and the 2 will stay different.
    Please read the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf, you need to know a lot more than this if your novel is ever to hit the streets.

    what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

    I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.

  • What is the best way to upload videos to your PC.

    What is the best way to download videos from your iphone to your PC.

    There's no "best" way per se, and there's differences depending on what application created the video.  If you used the standard Camera app to take the video, simply connect your phone to your computer, after iTunes syncs you can close iTunes or minimize it, and open My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista/7), and in the folder window you'll see a removable device called iPhone with a camera icon.  When you open that window, you'll see the contents of your Camera Roll where you can cut or copy the item, then paste onto Desktop or into another folder.  Other applications have different methods.  Some save to the Camera Roll so you can move those the same way, others, like iMovie, you have to first "share" the video to your Camera Roll after the film is complete, then remove the same way.  Other apps, like Silent Film for example, set up an FTP connection to your LAN and you retrieve the video via an FTP client (or a web browser as web browsers can log into FTP connections).
    Hope that helps.

    What are the best ways to create space for the download of Yosemite.  I can't install it as I don't have enough space.

    Did you empty Trash?  Very important!
    How much space do you have available?  Click in the HDD icon on the desktop, COMMAND+I.
    Also try a Safe Boot:

    what is the best way to turn on my ipod after it has been in water? should i just turn it on or should i plug it in and let it turn on on its own?

    Firstly, give your Pod a lot of time to dry out before trying to use it - at least a week, a fortnight might even be advisable. Water takes a surprisingly long time to evaporate from inside something.
    For a case, what you want is the Griffin Survivor:

  • What's the best way to sync video and sound?

    If I'm going to make a music video with performance shots (lip-syncing) interspersed with story-line shots, what's the best way to line them up. I mean, I start with some video shot from a car while the song is playing, then transition to a shot of me singing. Say I get the singing clip lined up perfect, then when I add the transition, isn't that going to mess with the timing? And of course, I'll be doing this multiple times throughout the video. Say I get the first one right, then add some more storyline video and another performance clip and I lock that (second) clip to the audio. Isn't that going to shift my first performance clip when I add a transition? Am I making sense?

    First look at all your material ..'review' it.
    As you say so rightly: "..then when I add the transition, isn't that going to mess with the timing?.." ..yes; but only if you haven't allowed for the length of each transition when you first line up your clips.
    So watch your footage, think where you want to cut it, and then immediately think "what kind of transition there, and for how long?" ..Imagine it, in your head, so if you think "that would work best with a quick two-thirds of a second dissolve" jot down that you want to leave an extra two-thirds of a second at the start of the clip which you want to transition into.
    In the US of A, at 30 frames per second of NTSC video, two-thirds of a second is 20 frames. (..The frame counter gets up to 0:29 and then changes to 1:00, because the 30th frame changes it over to the next second..)
    In Europe the frame rate is 25 per second - so after 0:24 comes 1:00 - so two-thirds of a second is about 0:16.
    So when you start to cut your video clips, if you're going to have a two-thirds of a second dissolve between your first two, you'll need to leave an extra 20 (NTSC) or 16 (PAL) frames at the start of your second clip, before the action you want begins onscreen, so that those frames will be "eaten away" in the dissolve between the end of the previous clip and the start of the clip which follows it.
    If you definitely want to see the last few frames of "lip-sync" - for some reason - of the first (outgoing) clip, then leave the extra frames on the end of that clip, instead of at the start of the following clip, but it usually works best to ensure that the follow-on clip starts with those extra "sacrificial" frames.
    If you want to use any embedded audio that's in the video clips - and you're not simply matching up the video to external sound (..such as an iTunes track or your own material which you're pre-recorded..) then be sure to Extract the audio from your clips as soon as you've cut them, and before you apply any transitions. This keeps their audio safely "marooned" on an audio track, where you can edit it separately, and then match it to the edited video.
    So prepare all your video first, and cut it to have excess "tops and tails" which you can eat away during the transitions. (The only transition which doesn't eat away material is iMovie's "Overlap", which freezes the outgoing clip, and dissolves the incoming clip into that freeze-frame. But that - in my opinion -doesn't look to good with music videos, because it freezes the flow of the video, and makes it seem too pointlessly 'jerky'.)

  • What is the best way to manage Videos from the iPhone 3GS

    I want manage videos like pictures.
    All vids is stored in my iPhoto Library.
    What is the best way to sync them ?

    iPhoto supports importing photos and videos from a digital camera that supports capturing video as well as photos.
    If the videos were deleted from your iPhone after the iPhoto import process was complete, and you want to transfer a video or videos back to your iPhone for viewing, you need to transfer the videos to iTunes that you want transfered to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other video.

  • What is the best way to store videos using Macbook Air?

    I have a Macbook Air and I don't want to store videos on the hardrive because it will fill up fast.  I have a lot of videos - for people that also take a lot of videos - what is the best way in your opinion or best place to store video? For example, on a server, on a cloud server, etc?

    Ok, so do you have a recommend brand and space capacity?
    You mentioned that one of your primary needs is to store video, which demands large capacity. As a consequence I'd suggest a drive with at least 1Tb, perhaps greater, capacity. I don't have a preferred brand or manufacturer - it's a bit like recommending which is better between Ford and Chevy - but I have a couple of Western Digital external USB drives which have proven very reliable, and a Seagate which is used as a daily backup and has worked flawlessly.
    DWB's point about backups is important too, because when you store files on any drive there is a risk of that drive failing - and indeed, all drives will fail at some point. The question is, can you live with the total loss of those files if the drive does fail? If you are storing files that you value, then a backup is needed to help protect those files. Ideally that would mean two drives, not one. One to use for the storing the files, and the second to use to back those files up.

  • What is the best way to make video and audio the same lengths for posting on Web?

    YouTube recommends doing this to avoid sync problems. Maybe it will also make my videos run more smoothly. I'm talking here about random pauses I see in my movies on YouTube, not the uniform stuttering problem which I pretty much solved by redoing the movie at 30 fps instead of 24 fps. (Original is 18 fps Super 8 movie film.)
    Anyway, there is no sound during my titles. The soundtrack starts about 17 seconds in, and ends when the ending titles begin. So what's the best way to add silent audio? The best I can figure is to take some existing sound, put it in where the titles are, and turn the volume down to zero. Seems real workaround-ish, so to speak, to me. It seems to work. I even cranked it up on headphones to make sure there was no residual noice. But I'm curious if there's a better way? No biggie if not.
    Thanks.         

    I should have included the following:
    1.) Why can't I make a silent project in GarageBand? I have to instead find a project with a long enough song, make an "iLife preview" of it (see (2) below), copy it from the iMovie Music and Sound Effects browser to the end of the movie, and then open the audio panel and turn the volume to zero. And all this so that video websites don't get confused by a soundtrack that starts in mid-movie.
    2.) Why do I have to "render" them by the following process: Double-click a song in the iMovie Music and Sound Effects browser. You get a dialog box saying "The project "The Great Race" cannot be used because it was not prepared with an iLife preview. Would you like to open "The Great Race" in GB so you can save it with an iLife preview?" What I don't understand is why this new thing was introduced and why I have to do it via iMovie.
