2 Questions - Low Bit rate output. Low frames per second FPS, HELP! Live show sucked!

I thought I had all of my settings set for a stream using FMLE running through stickam. Everything was looking good but when we went live our bit rate output went down below 100kbs. I had set it for high kbs but allowed it to drop size to keep frame rate. As you can imagine our video stream went from really good looking to choppy and almost freeze frame half the time. I have no idea what I did wrong. Is it my Cable Internet? My modem? I will say that I ran a speedtest.net test and although the download looked abnormally low I had 1.6Mbs upload which I thought should be sufficient? I'm not sure what to do.
2nd question. I set FPS frame rate at 25fps but the output only allowed 15fps to the live stream. What is causing this? Is this a default number? It didn't seem what I set the frame rate at, the output was at 15fps. I saw ways to change the fps on the input but nothing on the output. What is the deal here?
So... to recap. How do I keep the bit rates high and constant on a stream and how do I increase my fps on a stream. Or, to make it real easy, how do I get the best video stream picture that is not choppy or freeze frame. Our show is now starting to be sponsored by entities and I can't have bad looking shows. Can anybody lead me in the right direction?

Whats your Encoding machine's configuration? I feel a low configuration machine can cause choppy streams.
Did you try with any other video source?
I feel you have enough bandwidth to stream.

Why do I see random Frames Per Second (fps) in the QuickTime Inspector?

Hi there could anyone help
I opened up some DV pal footage that I captured FCP then I opened it up in quicktime.
I problem is that in the inspetor it does not state the right fps for the clip for example 24.96, 24.98, 24.99 the clip does play at the right FPS 25. i final cut is says that the footage in 25 FPS so who am I to belive
Any hlp would be great
thats
sam

Not uncommon to have small variations in the frame rate when viewing in QuickTime Player.
Ignore it.

Re: How many frames per second (fps) has 3120 clas...

I've read in other sites that it performs 15 fps, but I'm not sure...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

not possible to record at less than 15fps. there is no way that the 3120 classic supports video recording of 640x480, or even 320x240 for that matter. i have a N78, and it records 640x480 at 15fps, its a bit choppy at times since its not 30fps recording like other N series, but it does the job reasonably well. there's no 30fps recording on Series40 devices as of yet, so 15fps will have to do for now . but 6303 looks good
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

Frames per second vs timecode

Small question
How do I get the frames per second indicator at lower left of canvas to show timecode instead?
I have looked all over for what is probably staring me in the face.
cc

Preferences > Project > Display Time As, change it to "Timecode". Or, just click on the little stopwatch to the left of either the current time, or the duration.

Frame per Second drop after iOS 7.0.2

Hello;
Has anyone noticed that after upgrading to iOS 7.0.2, Frame per Second (FPS) in games has dropped?
I noticed that when i swipe from bottom to top for control center(small box with arrow appears) and FPS returns to normal when the box is still there; after box disappears the FPS drops again and I swipe up and FPS increases;
I disabled Control Center access from settings (in app access) but this time fps always stays low..
I believe there is a bug with Control Center..

It also says there is no memory to sync and there is 5gb free.
Its happening with music too when I tried that. Getting worse.

Feature request: Frames Per Second info for clips / Warning when exporting

I know that this may not be the right place to post, but I think many of us users would agree that this feature would be useful in iMovie. Especially for new users who are not even familiar with terms like "frame rate".
Let's assume you import a video from your digital camera. You are not an expert in this field, so you edit the video in iMovie. Then you export it using QuickTime. The final video is jerky... and this can be due to incorrect frame rate settings.
It would be nice if iMovie provided some warning if you are trying to import video at a different frame rate setting than your original video source. Just a pop-up saying "Your video was recorded 29.97 frames per second (FPS) and you are trying to export it into 25 FPS. This can cause some playback issues."
Maybe even suggest the correct frame rate setting for the export. Apple's software is always trying to make things easier. I think regular users do not even know about "frame rates", so it might be a good idea to warn them.
Also, how can you tell what FPS are your sources in iMovie? There is no way to tell what FPS was the clip recorded in. To find out, you have to go back into iPhoto, then drag the clip into QuickTime and only there you can select "Get Info" and find the recorded FPS for the specific clip.
This seems like a lot of trouble to go through, just to find out a very basic information about the clip.
I would like to see some functionality like this added to iMovie. I think many of us users would welcome this feature.
What do you guys think?

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

What I may do is start a brand new library there, copy my tracks from my work laptop using Home Share and then the script to get things in sync before starting over again there too.
Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.
crichton007 wrote:
I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

Re-sync at lower bit rate

decided to re-sync my downloaded music at a higher bitrate , and by doing so i used up nearly all of my available storage space on my phone. I would like to return to the lower bit rates for my entire collection of downloads, but not finding any tools to do this, any thoughts?

kiho - You got it! As you probably noticed, "Convert" in iTunes actually means "create a new copy." After conversion, you will have both versions in your library, so if you don't want the 320s any more, delete them. If you have playlists with the 320 versions in them, you can manually replace the songs with their new lower bitrate counterpart - that does not happen automatically. -Ed.

Better compression at lower bit rates

I've not had much luck getting good h.264 compression from AME at lower bit rates. Are there some secrets that someone has shared? I used to be quite adept back in the day, so it's frustrating having to upload giant files to Vimeo. Any good guidance?
I should be more specific. It seem like close to 5 Mbps is need for full HD, but I remember Flash expert Fabio getting great results in less than 1:

It would be great if AME had some addition controls.

Wayyyyyy back when I first started encoding MP3s I was using 28 with an inferior encoder. At the time I couldn't spot the difference, but now the difference is stark. Particular types of music (and more specifically instruments and combinations) do emphasise it though.
Actually, you cannot hear the difference when the background noise is loud, or example, public transport. I suggest that one uses a noise cancellation headset. $$$

How do I convert Ineligible (low bit rate, language lesions) to be eligible

I have a huge amount of language lessions that are 64kb encodings. They are absolutely fine for my use.
But my paid iTunes Match subscription refuses to upload them. I tried converting one to AAC but that did not help.
As I understand it, there are two problems: the low bit rate, and the genre is Books & Spoken .. both of which are not uploaded.
The genre is fine, I can change that to something that is "eligible". But the bit rate is a problem.
So how do I manage these language lessions so that the ones I want in iTunes match are elegible? I don't have all the original CDs and certainly don't want to re-rip them anyway, there are too many!
My guess is that I have to find an audio converter program and have them upgraded to whatever bitrate iTunes Match needs, and to change the genre to an elegible name, right?

Thanks guys. It apparently works to simply convert to AAC 128kbs. The genre lable seems to be OK as Books & Spoken.
There were some bumps along the way, ending up with 3 of each lesson at one point! .. But I think this is all going to work just fine.
It does seem bizzare that this rule is in place, and certainly is going to end up with a LOT of unhappy customers.
Folks should be aware that the AAC conversion creates a copy so the originals can be saved after the conversion, then deleted from the Library.

Very Low Bit Rate!!!

Ok, iTunes is not the best program of the computer planet music, far away…
All music sites offering the possibility to choice the format and downloading with a quality what we wants, no iTunes Store, WHY? I have professional equipment and disgust me to listen my music in 256kb very (LOW BIT RATE).
I spend the max in the MacBook Air (the best configuration), the must of sound card etc. for what??? It’s time to change and make a true revolution on iTunes and iTunes Store. For ex: when we listening one song on iTunes, the folder don’t come to the principal window if you are in artist’s mode! We need to search in the library to find the folder and get information or modify something!

Is the file stored in iTunes as a music file?
If so then the one way of getting it on your phone would be to convert it to a podcast or audiobook, which I believe will work.
It isn't a full conversion as such, all you do is change a tag in "get info".
Another way would be to choose "create AAC version" which should make it eligible.
I understand why you don't want to do this sort of messing around, but nfortunately at this stage in the release there are still lots of these sort of issues, most of which will likely be resolved in the next few updates.
If you don't want to do those steps then another option would be to turn match off until these issues get fixed. Obviously, we have no idea of timescales (or if that particular issue will ever get addressed). There are enough people being affected by it that I'd be surprised if it isn't a reasonably high priority though.

Low bit rate 4k offline files

I'm editing 4k on a 720p timeline. Its a bit slow and painful. Is there any advantage to making offline files that are still 4k but lower bit rate? (so that I can still do the crazy 3x zooms!)
(I suspect the limitation on my system is more processor than hard drive. Its a xeon 3560x @3.6ghz, 12gb ram and a 7-drive raid5)

Thanks both! I read that page Ann. It doesn't help me work out how to deal with zooming images (like if I pan and scan and then replace footage ill need to modify the pan and scan). The problem is I have mixed 4k and 1080 on the same timeline. I only need the 4k reduced in size

Encode at a lower bit rate when uploading to iPod nano 2nd gen

There is a feature that I liked when I used to put my music on my Motorola SLVR. When I synced my phone with iTunes I had the option to re-encode my files at a lower bit rate (I believe it was aac 128). I there a way to enable this feature for the iPod nano 2nd gen?

On-the-fly conversion is only available on the iPod shuffle. The iPod shuffle (probably because of it's limited capacity) has the option to "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This option is not available for any other model iPod. For the larger iPods the files have to be converted in iTunes first or indeed have to have been imported in a compressed format prior to transfer

Apple Lossless lower bit rate than AIFF - why?

Why is the bit rate of Apple Lossless lower than that of AIFF for the same song?

Chris2881 wrote:
I can understand the file size thing but why the lower bit rate?
Chris2881,
In your iTunes library, the figure shown for bitrate is just the file size divided by the duration of the song (with adjustments for bytes to bits, and mega to kilo). If you look at an Apple Lossless file, the size and the bit rate are each about half of a standard AIFF for the same song.
As noted by fullcream, the Apple Lossless format is compressed but not lossy; it contains the full audio content of the CD (or AIFF) original but in a more compact file. Unlike AAC or MP3, Apple Lossless does not remove any audio content.

HT204406 how do I download higher bit rate songs from itunes match to replace the lower bit rate I have on my itunes library?

I have itunes match and I have about 500 songs that were ripped at 128kbps. I have been tolf that I can replace them via itunes match to improve them to 256 or 320?
I have put them into a playlist in my itunes library and I want to know how I can upgrade their bit rate via itunes match. Can anyone help me?

Sid,
With the device connected, click the Summary tab and you will see the "Convert higher bit rate..." option. Set it to 128. See picture below:
