16bit uncompressed video files to large what media manager setting is best

Hi all,
I am working with some uncompressed video clips they come in at 25 gb a clip. These are profesional animation clips I am looking to save some disk space and still get near the same quality. I am editing the clips for mobile use so i need to start with a high quality master. any suggestions for what settings i should use with media manager.
Thanks

Why .avi?
Final Cut Pro works with QuickTime .mov files.
The video card in your MacBook Pro will be fine. The way to avoid rendering is to make sure that your Easy Setup and Sequence Settings match your source material.

Deleting the uncompressed video file once m2v and aif have been created

When I create a dvd then close the project.
I then later delete the uncompressed video file captured from tape.
I reopen DVD studio pro and it tells me that it cannot find original file.
I tell it to used m2v encoded file as new video file and aif encoded file as new audio file.
But i am then given an error message and these two files disapear.
Can anyone help me out. Surely i should not have to keep the original captured video file for every dvd I want to make. The idea surely is that once DVD studio pro has made m2v and aif files then the project should be able to use those to create any further DVD of that project.

I've still never seen any problems with a single video track and uncompressed audio.
I won't argue that it never happens to anybody, of course, but I've made DVDs for a lot of people, and usually the only problems I hear tend to be a problem with their brand of player not being able to recognize the media. Those are relatively rare and almost always has to do with cheaper brands of DVD players. If they can get it to start at all, I haven't heard of any trouble with playing the whole thing.
I would like to know if that's the problem I had with trying multiple video tracks, though. DVDSP would refuse to even finish the build. It would start to mux, then partway through, say the bitrate was too high and abort. It was a long time ago, but I would've been using uncompressed audio and probably fairly high bitrate video (3.2Mbps, possibly even 3.5). Seemed stupid to me; I would've thought the muxing would be a smart enough design so that only the video and audio tracks in use at any given time (one video, one audio, one subtitle) would count toward your maximum allowed bitrate.
But that brings up another point you guys might try. I heard people mention 3.5Mbps. I use 3.2, and I don't see any noticeable difference in the quality of the video. But switching from uncompressed audio to ac3 definitely is a noticeable (downward) difference, at least using the stock Dolby 2.0 encoding preset included in DVDSP4 / Compressor 2 and a standard stereo (2-channel) source. I did several different tests where I encoded the audio both ways and burned a test DVD with multiple audio tracks, switching between them to compare. Even normal conversations on the ac3 (Dolby 2.0) track sounded quieter and less dynamic, and there was (naturally) an even more noticeable difference in any kind of music.
So you might give that combination (3.2Mbps video with uncompressed audio) a try in the future, especially if you're picky about the audio. If that fixes the problem, I think it's a reasonable sacrifice since the audio difference is more severe. Basically, if you're doing a professional enough job that the difference in video between 3.5Mbps and 3.2Mbps is important, then you should already be doing a professional 5.1 audio encoding from individual channels anyway.
BTW, I have my 3.2Mbps labeled "120min", since that's about what I can fit on a DVD with uncompressed audio. My other often-used settings are 2.8Mpbs for 135min (three hour-long TV episodes with commercials cut out), and 2.0Mpbs for 170min. (And I can't remember for sure, but the 170min may even be a slight overestimate, so be careful of cutting it too close if you use those settings.) I usually don't even notice a video quality difference with 2.8Mpbs, though I have only used that with a less-than-pristine source anyway, so the lower bitrate isn't the bottleneck for quality in that case.

AVCHD to Uncompressed Video File Conversion Factor

I have a Canon HF S21 camcorder and I'm looking for a conversion factor from AVCHD to Uncompressed Video Files when filming in maximum video resolution of 1920 X 1080. I want the conversion factor to size an eternal firewire hard drive for editing my videos in Final Cut Express.

Whilst I have no experience of AVCHD other than a few clips from the DVD in Tom's book, I have used ProRes and Apple Intermediate Codec which is what all AVCHD is converted to before editing in FCE/FCP and the USB 2.0 Hub and Hard Drives combination has worked flawlessly.
Of course, until I have actually used an AVCHD camera I won't be able to comment either way with any certainty.
For a while I have been wondering whether PAL or 25fps based cameras act slightly differently from NTSC or 30fps ones with regard to ease of editing my way.
Here's an example I posted some time ago, though be aware that the image has been reduced to 1280x720 and a very low data rate was used in order to keep the file very small because of a monthly cap on my internet use.

Download video file and open in media player

I need to set a link to a video file (ideally one that can be
opened on both PC and MAC) that, when clicked, will download the
video to the viewers desktop and open it in their media player.
Can this be done?

Okay, fair enough. Is there a way I can have the video file
automatically download to their desktop? I tried getURL with a path
to the file, but then it tried to open in the browser and just
brings up the #404 error. If I zip the video file it automatically
downloads, but the client doesn't want the videos zipped.

Video Black on V Cast Media Manager

When I synced my videos to vcast media manager, the thumbnails show up and the videos will play on my phone. However, when I try to play them on my computer and when I burned them to a DVD, they show up black. the audio plays fine, but no video. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I posted this a while back and it should help...
Playing the Fascinate's videos on a PC:
DivX Plus Player At first I couldn't get the Fascinate's mp4 video files to playback with any of the players on my PC including Verizon's VCast. After rechecking the phone's video specs, I saw that it was DivX Certified, went to the DivX website, downloaded the free DivX Player Plus, and "bingo" my video files finally played - beautifully - and I didn't have to modify or convert anything.
Windows Media Player I went to the Microsoft website and looked up Media Player and found out that it does not support mp4 format, however it did list the audio/video formats that it can play and one of those was WMV. I then dragged one of my mp4 video files over to the desktop (created a short-cut) and RENAMED the file extension from .mp4 to .WMV, then double clicked on the new icon, and "voila" it PLAYED. Now I didn't run this thing through any conversion software converting it to another format, I just changed the file extension and fooled Windows Media Player to play it, and it did. I'll admit I got a warning message after renaming the file but I ignored it, and the file played just as nicely as it did in the DivX player.
QuickTime Player This is Apple's player and anyone who has a Mac is using this player, however, you can also get a free PC version from them which I downloaded and to make a long story short, I renamed the file extension of my video to .MOV and guess what? It played and just as well as it did on the other two players.

Quaicktime Videos will not Play in Media Manager/FIOS

Quicktime videos taken on an iphone are not available to select from using "browse" in Media Manager. FIOS/Windows7. Other older videos taken using a Blackberry work

I don't think Quicktime video is supported. See http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/tv/fiostv/guide/enhanced+tv/questionsone/124966.htm.

Media Manager set up

Got all my pictures/music to the media manager. Now it seems to not work as the firewall won't let it through. I have the Verizon/Norton Protection center and cannot figure out how to change the exceptions so the Media Manager works. The help window just does not get it done...Thanks

You can also delete over the internet.
There is no way to delete from an STB that streams from the DVR.

Premiere Elements: Video file too large

i have adobe premiere element 9. i have try 2 down load picture to my timeline but it keep saying "the file video dimension (width/height) to large. can anyone help me. ps. it will accept old picture but not one that i take with my new camera. Jpeg image size says (5184x3888)
Edited by: Kevin Monahan
Reason: More descriptive title needed

nikoatu
Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 restricts that user from importing a still image with greater than 1677216 total pixels.
I have explained the situation in full detail (post 6) in an older thread which dealt with the same issue in Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/624979
In latest versions of Premiere Elements, that block is removed. But, that does not mean because you can exceed 1677216 total pixels that you should. The classical not to exceed pixel dimensions recommendations that you see online include
for SD project, 1000 x 750 pixels
for HD project, 2200 x 1238 pixels
In later version of Premiere Elements and greater computer resources, these classical recommendations can be stretched to a certain degree.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

NVM shows the video file more than what is in the ...

Hi,
I recently took a video from my Nokia 6300 which was a 15 sec file and then in Nokia Video Manager 1.7.0 the same file after copying to the PC. In NVM is shows as 17 sec file.. all the videos in NVM shows more than what is the actual size in the device.
Anybody else seen this
Cheers,
Sandy

A video file too large for iweb

iweb suggests a max of 10 mb for the video added to the video pages. How can I put a 188 mb video created in FCE HD on the web? thank you joankvh

iweb suggests a max of 10 mb for the video added to the video pages.
True. But you are not limited to 10 MBs. I have placed 2 files just under 167 MBs on iWeb. You would do better to check your total video data rate when considering the posting of larger files like this. If the total video data rate is on the order of 1.0-1.1 Mbps and are targeted for high-speed Internet users, then your targeted users should be able to watch them via the "Quick Start" cache option and will probably not be bothered by long loading times.
How can I put a 188 mb video created in FCE HD on the web?
If you have a reasonably good high-speed ISP service, publish the movie page normally.

Video file too large

Hi
I want to submit a 2 minute video to a BBC competition. They stipulate max file size 50MB. My video is HDV 405MB size. A downscaled DVD version is still 95MB, probably because most shots involve a lot of movement. I tried reducing the target bitrate to 1.5Mbps but even that gives 75MB size. Reducing the max bitrate from 9MB to 6MB actualy increased the file size to 102MB!!! Can anyone recommend suitable software/codec to downconvert it to 50MB while retaining as much quality as possible?
Thanks

Thank you both
they accept avi mov wmv mp4 mpg flv 3gp wav mp3 wma
I can't find the Youtube preset in PPro

How do you rip dvds to uncompressed video files?

you would rip a cd to a .wav or a .aiff
what is the dvd equivalent (mpeg2?) of doing this and which software can do it well?
(im talking about non copy protected dvds here obviously)

Export to AVI file too large! The secret setting to smaller AVI files is?

The recent death of a internationally respect friend has put me in a position of creating a memorial video for an upcoming event—and it should have been finished 2 days ago! So I'm pressed for time.
The problem is the display format: a large digital picture frame that also shows stereo video, but only in AVI format. We've tried .mov, .mpeg, .divx, .wmv, .vcl, .mpg1 to 4... Nope. It's got to be .avi or the picture frame balks. (Really, any .avi movie plays fine and no other format works.)
So I've taken the 5-minute memorial video, exported it as AVI and it comes out okay—except the smallest file size I can get is over 1.12GB! Whew! By comaprison, exporting to DIVX would get it down to around 100MB with decent quality. But 1.12GB is simply too huge for such a short video.
What's the correct export in FCE for lowest possible AVI yet still have good video?

Note: All video was transferred from a Panasonic NV-GS250 digital tape camera. It's 5 years old.
I've played with three codecs and the lowest file size I can achieve is roughly 400Mb in Cinepak Low Quality at 25fps, but regardless of the Cinepak setting (very low or very high) the picture quality is awful and washy, colors pixelate and come and go—and it doesn't matter if the video is showing still images or motion. Not useful at all. The colors are "millions" and changing that to 256 immediately shoots the file(s) up to over 12GB! (Yet I'd think it should be the other way around.)
Cinepak, DV-PAL, and DVCPRO-PAL are the three compressions I've tried, and the PALs convert with good picture quality and good sound to a minimum 1.2GB all the way up to over 20GB for a 5-minute video; Interlaced or Progressive doesn't reduce anything; of these None is the lowest. I +haven't tired+ DVCPRO50-PAL and neither any NTSC compressions (because I live in Germany). But this is for a digital picture frame—that I cannot change and for some weird reason will only support AVI—and it's not a T.V., rather it's no different that any modern flatscreen computer display. So how should PAL or NTSC make a difference?
Sound compression has been tried at ALaw 2:1 and µLaw 2:1, but they also seem to keep the overall file size too large. So I've been working more with None. Using 8 bit actually increases file size over 16 bit, and I've noticed little difference between mono or stereo.
I've worked with FCE for nearly 2 years and have never had such a headache over file sizes. But now I've met my match with AVI.

What color correction setting is best

I just bought the Canon Pixma IP4300. I'm using a lot of ink trying to figure this out, so I thought I'd ask in case there was a default. In Advanced>Color Options>Color Correction, the choices are;
1) Driver matching
2) ColorSync
3) None
Is one of those generally better to use
Also, is it generally better to print from Photoshop(Elements 4) vs iPhoto or Preview?

choosing colorsync over adobe color management is not a popular choice
The only place I chose ColorSync is in OS X print dialog/color options/color correction. I have 3 options to choose; Driver matching, ColorSync, None. Which of the other 2 would I choose if I wanted to maintain Adobe Color Management? Also by Adobe Color Management, I assume what you mean are the adjustments I made in PSE. Is that right.
Have you tried using printer color management
Do you mean not using PS at all & just using the Color Options from the OS X print Dialog. If that's what you mean, I don't like using that because the adjustments are made on a generic OS X provided picture. You can't tell what the adjustments are doing to your photo until you choose Preview. If you don't like what you see, canceling causes you to start from the beginning.
keeping an sRGB image flow if that's what your originals are?
Most of the photos from my Canon SD 700IS are RGB. The others are scanned older photos. I'm embarrassed to say I'm not familiar with an sRGB image work flow
Barbara, To tell you the truth, if I could get 2 things down to a general rule of thumb it would be helpful. 1) In PSE/Print/Color Management, what to save the printer profile to (Same as source?) & 2) In OS X print dialog/color correction, what to save it as, out of my 3 options.
Feel free to tell me when you've run out of answers to all my questions, as I have many!

Sending large video files from a Mac to a PC

I have a Mac computer. My son has a PC. I want to send him some video files - some individual files are 12GB in size. I understand that 16GB flash drives will not help me because they have a limit of 4GB per file.
I thought I would put the video files on a hard drive with my Mac computer and send the hard drive to my son so that the video can be seen or downloaded on his PC computer. The video files are in HD high definition. But I'm sure there are compatibility problems I can't begin to conceive.
I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
thank you
Pete

The 4GB single-file size limitation is because of the FAT32 file system usually used on these flash drives.
An alternative would be to use the NTFS file system on these flash drives since it does not have the file size limitation and is also native for Windows PCs.
But, while MAc OSX can read and write from/to the FAT32 file system, it can only read from NTFS file system.
To enable write access to NTFS drives, you have to install a third-party file system driver like the free NTFS-3G http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/ or the commercial Paragon NTFS for Mac or Tuxera NTFS for Mac.

See my answer above. You run into the same compatibility issues as with a flash drive.
I know I could use TOAST to make a dvd-r of the video files that can be played on a dvd player- but they would no longer be HD. I have Toast 9.
Personally I wouldn't do this: too pricey (the discs) and not very praticable.
Also - about these media drives - could I just put my HD video files on these new 'media' drives which can be connected to a TV ( that's the only other option I can think of ).
Sorry, I don't know. Haven't looked into these devices that much.
I've also heard of software called MacDrive8 which supposedly makes a hard drive accessible to both PC and Mac computers. Has anyone used MacDrive8?
MacDrive is the "counterpart" so to speak to the above mentioned NTFS file system drivers for Mac OSX.
It enables Windows to read and write from/to drives (harddisk, flash drives, etc.) that use the Mac OSX file system (MacOS Extended).
How do Mac PC people share mega HD files these days?
Either NTFS drivers for Mac OSX or MacDrive for Windows.
More info - This video file of the recent Little League Championships is in mpeg-4 format. Would Real Player or QuickTime on a PC play them ?
Don't know. Don't use video files that much. Sorry
As a last resort I could break up the video file into segments of 4GB or less and put them on a Flash drive - I think Mac/PC compatible Flash drives exist right ?
When using FAt32 file system every disk is compatible to Macs and Windows PCs.
