Anyone made any compressor settings for iTunes Video yet?

I am planning on it, though haven't had a chance of yet. I see the new iPod Video's specs are:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
And I purchased a Music Video to check it out, and it's stat's are m4v, AAC Protected, with 44.100 kHz AVC0 Media, 320x224 at 30FPS and the data rate is 702.24, which looks pretty good, and scales fairly well. Want to make my own setting and test it out. I wonder if the audio is 128, or have they decreased it for the videos? The files seem to be about 4.3MB per minute of video.

big Burro is correct. I used a 300 kbps menu item but upon checking the movie, it was actually about 660 kbps,
This movie was run through Compressor2 & dropped into the itunes library, then dragged to the ipod video list.
Try it but also do "movie info" to check the specs.
the data rate is about 660kbps, I originally thought it was 300 kbps.

  • Best  compressor settings for web videos shot on canon 7d?

    Hello,
    I've started shooting video on the Canon 7d.  I usually compress my videos for youtube as MP4 at 300 Kbps.  However my last video had a presenter with background music track added.  When I did my first export to compressor without the music background all the audio of the presenter was perfect.  When I added a soundtrack in the background the presenter's voice was distorted, sounding like a Dalek!
    I got better results with less distortion when I re compressed the video as MP4 800 kbps.  Can anyone please recommend better settings that would give much superior sound and picture with zero distortion?
    Much appreciated.
    thanks

    Did you try using the YouTube preset?

    Hello All...
    Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
    I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for the replies.  Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems.  I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work.  I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic.  When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones.  This actually helped.  I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems.  I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac.  I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed.  Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else. 
    If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

    When you open the application you will have the opportunity to select software update.
    You can also go to the App store and check under Purchases and Updates and if the update still does no appear select Store > Check for unfinished downloads.  
    Having said all that, please do think carefully before you do upgrade. For a great many users the latest version has been a bitter disaapointment (see various other discussions here), as it has lost considerable functionality in the drive to ensure compatitbility with iOS.

    thats way too vague of a question... best what?  quality? size? playback?
    best quality then use high bitrate, small size use low bitrate.

  • Best Compressor settings for HD720 16:9 to cell phone OTHER than iPhone?

    Hey there,
    Does anyone know a good set of compressor settings for exporting HD720 16:9 29.97fps to a cell phone compatible format other than iPhone? Do most cell phones use an MPEG format? I guess I should start there. New to this one.
    Thank you,
    ed

    There are different MPEG flavours and compression for DVD, mobiles or web often means creating some flavour of MPEG file. Even H.264 is an MPEG file. One of the most advanced.
    Go to Compressor settings and look for a folder named Mobile devices then do a bit of your DIY (test, test, test).

  • Highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;ylt=AooGuxvheq40oC0etoPY8yvty6IX;ylv=3?qid=20090909143724AALIlSP
    *What are the highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?*
    I just got iTunes 9 and I want to know what the HIGHEST quality import settings are with the exception of Apple Lossless. I usually import cd's as
    AAC
    Stereo Bit Rate: 320kbps
    Sample Bit Rate: 48.000 kHz
    Channels: Stereo
    Now when I go into the custom menu and try to set these settings, it gives me an error message that reads the following:
    "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed."
    I was thinking about using WAV but I want a format that will be compatible with other/future personal media players as well such as Zune's and Creative MP3 players. Right now I have an iPod and don't plan on changing anytime soon. I just want the highest quality sound for my ears to hear.
    so, *What is the highest for AAC?*
    *Should I switch to WAV?*
    & if you could, *What are highest quality settings for the other formats as well.*

    well i personally think you should go with mp3 at 320kbps (max for that file format) main reason for this is that mp3 is compatible with pretty much everything, where as aac isn't although it is getting a bit better. the main difference between aac and mp3 is in the lower bit rates, i.e aac 128kbps sounds equivalent to mp3 192kbps (suppoesdly) but when you go from 192kbps and up both file formats sound basically the same, just a variation in file size. ig you want the highest quality for you ipod i would say 320kbps mp3. anything higher isn't worth it becuase most earphones cant even pick it up, only if you have high quality ones.

  • Is it Possible in JSF? Can anyone recommend any java Technology for this?

    I am doing Post Graduate Degree in Computer Science. This is my final semester and doing project work.
    Any body having idea about my requirment, help and guide to me
    My description and questions are as follows:
    Current Approach:
    PHP has been used to achieve the flexibility of creating custom images on-the-fly. Using this approach we were able to create a web-interface similar to the application client, where we could display links and get the exact look and feel of the application client.
    Drawback:
    This approach forces us to use two different technologies Java and PHP, since our system uses 'Java' accessing all the API's from PHP becomes a problem. while PHP provides a way to invoke any java method. It comes with a draw back, the method calls are little slow. This delay's are loading of web-page.
    Requirment:
    1. Creating custom images on various locations of the screen
    2. The Exact look and feel of the application map should be achieved
    3. Place elements and links correctly as in application-client reflect any changes
    4. Generation events on the Links and Elements
    5. Setting Backgroud images for different maps
    Questions:
    1. is it possible in JavaServer Faces (BETA)?
    2. If it is possible is JavaServer Faces(BETA) How to create custom images and create interfaces among them?
    3.Can anyone recommend any java Technology for doing this?
    Anybody having idea, help and guide me for doing my project

    Check the age of the files you wish to open.
    Keynote 6 (the latest you downloaded) will opne Keynote 5 (KN09) files but nothing earlier. For that KN5 will act as an intermediate format (you save KN4 and earlier as KN5), then KN6 can open the resultanr files.
    Make sure you have a backup of your original files, in case KN6 cannot replicate some of your earlier builds and transitions.

  • HT4352 I can not find any settings for iTunes where are they?

    I have set up home sharing on my Apple TV and now I am supposed to turn on home sharing on my ipad. There are no settings in iTunes on my ipad. I have spent hours looking for them, they donotexist. I have all sorts of options to look formusicandmovies and photos butthere is no"advanced" settings, and thereis no "file - settings - advanced". There is also no setting forhomesharing, no icons. I can not find any of these options the help files are talking about. Can some one please tell me how to find the settings in iTunes on my ipad.

    now I am supposed to turn on home sharing on my ipad.
    Where did you see this ?
    But it is Settings > Music (or Videos) - Home Sharing.
    Can some one please tell me how to find the settings in iTunes on my ipad
    It is not in iTunes on your iPad.
    I have all sorts of options to look formusicandmovies and photos butthere is no"advanced" settings, and thereis no "file - settings - advanced".
    Because it is in iTunes on your computer because that is what AppleTV uses to play videos.
    Notice the paragraph heading and paragraph 2
    Setting up Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer
    Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes.
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates.Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates.
    Choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
    Note: If you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, choose Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.

  • Has anyone made any work for CiA Draft standard proposal 406 for Encoders?

    We are asked to program a test application for encoders. The encoders have a varity of interfaces. One of them is CAN which uses the CiA Draft standard proposal 406 for Encoders.

    Hi,
    This seems like a application layer protocol. Is that right?.
    If so, NI doesn't have VIs to decode this particular protocol. At the moment the NI-CAN driver provides the Frame API or the Channel API.
    Let's see if someone else has worked with this protocol.

  • Best export settings for HD video to DVD

    hello, I now use premier pro cs5, from cs4 on my mac, love it, but I shoot with a cannon XL H1s HD video, my questiion is when viewing video from camera or on the screen in cs5, perfect hd picture, but when I export to DVD, i see in the media encoder if I choose mpeg2-DVD it goes output to 720x480, how do I export to dvd for the best HD seetings for DVD to get a HD playback on the DVD, now I see an OK video on the TV playback, but not the same as the original recording, can anyone help,, thanks in advance for any help.....

    I found (via a friend who is experienced in Pr & En) that it all comes down to the export/authoring settings.
    In Pr, my export settings needed to be adjusted as follows:
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Preset: PAL Progressive Widescreen High Quality
    Selected 'DVD' in the Basic Settings section of the
    Multiplexer tab (this creates a single mpeg file rather than a m2v file which has a separate video and audio file)
    Selected the highest possible quality (5) in the Basic Video Settings section of the Video tab, changed the TV Standard to PAL (to suit Australian TVs) and then
    Set the minimum/target/maximum bitrate settings to 8Mbps (when I set it at 9Mbps, the final file had too high a bitrate for DVD)
    In the Audio tab, I selected PCM as the audio type.
    I also ensured that the Use Maximum Render Quality checkbox was ticked at the bottom of the export settings window.
    Then I exported.
    Once encoding was complete I opened Encore, started a new project, selected DVD as the authoring mode and PAL as the Television Standard within the Basic settings for the new project. I then imported the final mpeg file as a timeline into Encore, set all the appropriate first play/title button/end play functions as necessary, then I opened the Edit Quality Presets window from the File menu and made the following settings;
    Format: MPEG2-DVD
    Presets: PAL DV High quality 8Mb CBR 1 Pass
    Basic Video Settings - Quality: set to maximum (5)
    Basic Video Settings - Field Order: None (Progressive)
    Basic Video Settings - Pixel Aspect Ratio: Widescreen 16:9
    Basic Video Settings - Bitrate Settings - Bitrate [Mbps]: set to maximum (9)
    Basic Audio Settings - Audio Format Settings: Audio Format: PCM
    click OK
    Then I authored the DVD and was quite pleased with the result. Still not quite to the quality I was hoping for (i.e. the quality of a DVD movie), but still a significant improvement on my initial attempts using default Pr & En settings.
    Hope it helps

  • Downgrade Compressor Settings for longer DVD

    I work with very simple standard definition 4 x 3 aspect video and sometimes make DVD's Compressing with the various Stock DVD Compressor settings.  I have never made a custom setting with Compressor.  Now I would like to put a 200 minute video on a standard DVD (not dual density).
    Can I modify a default setting like the 150 minute, and downgrade the quality enough so that the 200 min results would fit on a 4.6 gig DVD?  (maybe room for a very simple menu.)  Do I have to make a new setting from scratch, or could I modify and save, working from a default?  Like I say, I have never made a compressor setting, so I could appreciate a sort of step-by-step.
    Thank You
    Richard Miller

    Duplicate the DVD preset you want to use; it will show up in the custom presets in Compressor.  Clcik on the new custom preset so it will show in the Inspector window and make any needed adjustments.  Give it a name you'll remember then save it and apply it to the file you want to encode.
    You can use one of the available online bit rate calculators to determine the best bit rate based on your program's duration: http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=dvd+bit+rate+calculator&sourc eid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
