Best codec for web?

I have a QT file, H.244, 720X480 and 27.9MB. I need to get it web friendly. Doing the QT export to web but I can't get it under 10MB. Any suggestions to get this smaller without it breaking up?

If the bitrate is low enough the size will be lower as well, so the size of the video really doesn't make the size of the file bigger or smaller.
720X480 at 500 kbps is going to be really a small horribly blocky file, while 320X240 at 5000kbps is going to be 10 times larger and look better of course. But 720X480 at 1400 might be a better compromise.

Best codec for web use - 15 min corp video

Hi
I have a 15 min DVD that a client also wants converted for use on their corporate website.
Could you advise me of the best settings/codecs to use to make this file small enough, but still good quality.
The video is PAL.
Thanks. I haven't had to do this before and thought I'd ask the experts before trying.

I really like just using Broadband High...
File - Export - Quicktime Conversion ... change default compression to BROADBAND HIGH then go to OPTIONS and change SIZE if you are working with anamorphic...
I like 480x270.
About 3meg per minute.
Here's a sample...

Best codec for export from FCE?

Heya, I'm sort of a newbie, so please be patient with me
I'm trying to export a video from FCE using QT conversion. I'm going to be putting it on Youtube. What is the best codec for export? I've always heard that H.264 is the 'best', but my videos have always been pale and washed out. I tried exporting using MPEG-4 video, and it's not washed out. Is H.264 better and I should just deal with the paleness, or does it not matter too much?
Thanks

All the Web video sites re-compress your videos. So it's generally best to upload high quality files – typically determined by bit rate.
My suggestion would be to export as a Quick Time movie at current settings. (Guessing that you edited an AIC sequence,)
If you don;t have MPEG Streamclip, do a search and download it. In Streamclip, open the file you exported from FCE. Export to Quick Time. For Compression, choose H.264 from the drop down menu. Don't change Frame Size. If your movie is interlaced, check De-interlace. Check the Limit Data Rate box and type in 12,000 if the size of your movie is1080; 6,000 if your movie is 720; 3,000 if your movie is 480.
Use the YT uploader and you should be good to go.

Best Codec for exporting animations with alpha channel from FCP timeline

Whats the best codec for exporting animations (hopefully using loseless compression) that will retain alpha channel, and use the current sequence settings for fps and size?
Currently Im exporting image sequences, but I'd prefer a wrapper.. I don't know much about the 'Animation' export codec.. I did notice that set to current size had some funky value of 753x450 or something.. instead of my current project size of 1920x1080...
Anyhow.. Just seeing what others are doing..
basically Im reading out some titles that I'll end up dropping over video later.. but since they render out so slowly (**** lower 3rds is slow) Im trying to get a jump on the process..
Tx..

PNG should do it. I think PNG is lossless (that's what they say, anyway). But realistically, if you use PNG, Animation, or JPG2000 set on highest quality, I'd dare you to tell a difference.
I use PNG because it's supposedly lossless, renders twice as fast as Animation in a FCP timeline, and is usually about half the size.
If you use "Export Using Quicktime Conversion", you will need to check all of the settings manually to make sure they match your sequence settings. This is always true, no matter what codec you use.
If that sounds risky, your other option is to go into your sequence settings and change the codec to the one you want to render to (this will probably turn your whole timeline red), and then choose Export -> Quicktime movie.

Best book for Web Services

Can you suggest me what's best book for Web Services and XML to study? I'm planning to buy..
Thanks in advance..

Why does it need to be the best one? What would that even mean? Just buy something reputable, like an O'Reilly book, it's not going to be so horrifically poor that you can't learn from it

Best codec for DVD export for editing

If I want to burn DVDs for a client who will want to edit the footage later, what's the best codec for that?

What editing application will they be editing with?
DVD's aren't the best archival solution. They hold 4.7GB of info, and that is like 20 min of DV quality footage. Forget about HD quality...Oh, unless you use HDV. That's the same data rate

Best codec for out to stand alone HD video playable through VLC on PC

I finished a wedding in France recorded in HD on a Sony XD CAM EX-1
I am editing in Final Cut 6.0.6
I had photos from Photoshop CS4 imported into the film and did not
interlace them. They were accepted into the timeline with the Sony footage: XD Cam EX 1080i 50 35mbs VBR.
I would like to deliver an uncompresssed version on a hard drive playable on VLC through a PC. I would also like to see if I can compress this half hour and put it on a DVD?
Final cut and Compressor had trouble with this footage to make the Quicktime
stand alone video and a 39 Program stream.mpeg
When I did get a successful copy_ they will not copy to an external Hard Drive_ it reads disc error.
Is this because of the mix of interlaced and non interlaced? Should I go back
and interlace all the photos and try again???
What is the best codec to export a full res from Final Cut? ( Quicktime, which ProRes??)
and if I try to put the half hour on a dvd not blue ray ... which codec is best? MPEG2?
Thanks very much,
Bill Phipps

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for your input. I shot the wedding in France in PAL on the Sony EX1 using
XD Cam EX 1080i 50 35mbs VBR. And want to deliver to bride and groom
a full HD copy on a hard drive to be played on a pc using VLC software.
I was able to load my foootage and Sony allows me to select this in Final Cut
as a setting when I edit. I imported some
still photos from Photoshop and these are not interlaced. Something I am
now concerned about. I could easily interlace them, however, I was thinking
it would be better to de-interlace the video footage instead as everyone
viewing the film would do so on a pc.
I went on Creative Cow and have gotten a thread
from Creative Cow which tells me:
Re: To deinterlace,or not to deinterlace
by Ed Dooley on Jan 8, 2009 at 11:01:35 am
Not necessarily true. Yes you'll lose the resolution if you use the simple de-interlace filter in FCP (and many other programs). If, however, you use Frame Controls in Compressor (do a search of this forum and you'll find lots of instructions), you do not lose res, the fields get blended. There are 3rd party products that do the same thing (Nattress has one).
Having said all that, I wouldn't deinterlace unless you need to (like for the web for example), the program's going out to TV? Leave it interlaced.
Ed
I at the moment cannot find where Frame Controls in Compressor and saved my project just
before my last step of using the Final Cut Pro de-interlace filter on all of the HD Pal footage.
I had to try 3 times to make a stand alone Quick Time which normally goes smoothly for me, so
I started to wonder if the interlaced video with non-interlaced photos was the problem?
The stand alone Quick Time and the MPEG-2 both gave me trouble and I got an error when
trying to copy them to a drive that was formatted in the only cross platform format I know
being Fat 32. It is a 7200 rpm drive.
I got an answer from Creative Cow on this where the person advised me to convert the file
to Pro Res.
I would appreciate any input.
Thanks for your time and attention.

Best book for Web Developer learning flash

I've gotten far on my own just using online tutorials and dinking around in Flash on my own but my boss(es) are starting to ask for more complex stuff that I simply can't learn by just piecing together my Flash education.
I know there's many, many books out there that will teach you Flash but can anyone recommend any particular one(s) that are more concentrated in creating Web elements as opposed to game or animation development?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I hope this link would be helpful for you books For web developer Using Flash by "William Sanders"

Best program for web development?

Hello everyone
I was just wondering what is in your opinion the best tool for creating web based applications (or even desktop based applications).
I have used Jdeveloper and Dreamweaver before and Jdeveloper had a lot more functionality out of the box but Dreamweaver seemed to give me more freedom (especially when working with the design part of my page).
Also Jdeveloper is a lot more complex but I think without fully understanding every aspect of it you can develop some pretty nifty applications. My main gripe is the deployment which has to have the same version of weblogic and Jdeveloper and you have to install Jdeveloper on the server (the weblogic server alone isn't enough) to support ADF etc.
I don't have experience in the other ones (NetBeans, Eclipse, Visual Studio etc)
So the question is which is the best for web development: Visual Studio, Jdeveloper, Apex, Dreamweaver, NetBeans, IntelliJ, Eclipse etc???

Dreamweaver is for the view part only, as in the (X)HTML and CSS stuff. You aren't going to do Java development using Dreamweaver.
There is no definitive answer to your question as you are basically asking this: what are my personal preferences? Nobody can answer that, only you. So there is nothing you can do but download everything you want to try and actually do that: try it out. See what feels good and what doesn't. Only then will you be able to make a choice.
All I can give you at this point in time is MY personal preferences, which do not have to be the same as yours at all. I use Eclipse for full blown JavaEE development because there are a few plugins available for Eclipse that are not available for Netbeans that I really like and use to good effects (mostly related to JBoss). For everything else however, which includes Swing development, game development and plain Java web development I use Netbeans because to me it is a more "polished" product where things such as Subversion and Maven integration just work without conflicts.

Best codec for data discs?

I want to clear a large project off my drive by burning it onto data discs. What's the best codec to use for later FCP editing?
On a slightly different topic, is there a best "universal" codec that can be edited in other popular NLE systems, e.g. Avid, Pinnacle, etc.?
Thanks.

On a slightly different topic, is there a best "universal" codec that can be edited in other popular NLE systems, e.g. Avid, Pinnacle, etc.?< </div>
Read up on H.264, it's for distribution, not editing. The only codec that approaches platform agnosticism or universality is MPEG1 which is also useless as an image preservation or editing codec. After that, maybe plain ol' DV. There is a different flavor for each operating system but getting the files unwrapped and imported into all NLEs cannot be assumed.

Best codec for dvd release

I'm finishing two extras for a dvd re-release of a film I made in 1980, and am very new to codecs and HD, would like to know the best quality transfer/conversion and/or codec for putting into a DVD release format with a digi-beta master.

Thanks for all the suggestions; to clairify, I wrote, directed and produced Ghostkeeper, am editing the extras which I want included on the DVD, so distrib said go ahead but he's not paying for it. So I'm doing 2 extras (actor & DP) on my own. I've had FCP3 (DV) for years and finally upgraded some time ago to, still not all that familiar with HD needs and requirements.
Distrib will make the dvds, he made a digi-beta copy from a 35mm film print and said all he needs is a QT file, but he's not really tech-savvy, thus my enquires. I will definitely be speaking with whomever is actually making the DVD's, they'll be re-released in a week or two.
I'm editing on FCP Studio 3 and downloaded two different files; the movie itself from a dvd straight from the digi-beta copy and the extras interview ftg comes from a Canon 5D with separate sound recording, thus having to sync it (got someone better than me to do that). I made the mistake of conflicting codecs, but still managed to stumble my way through.
Movie was released in 1980 via theater and VHS and was lost in obscurity until a cult following began. You can see my first cut on youtube at:

Best Codec for WMV?

Wich is the Best Quality Codec for .Wmv? (1080p or 2k) I need to know (only for that format) for my work.
The videos always loss quality,and there are visible pixels.
Please if anyone knows, please tell me, and also how to get the codec if it doesnt appear on the software by default (hope it's free).
Thanks in advance, i'll be waiting for any reply

You're gonna laugh.. but years ago I bought the first " videoblaster " card and actually 'captured' video with it from cable tv....( at 15 fps , dropping every other frame basically )... and had a lot of fun with it.. and that was when AVI was introduced...
=======
Audio Video Interleaved (also Audio Video Interleave), known by its initials AVI, is a multimedia container format introduced by Microsoft in November 1992 as part of its Video for Windows technology
======
So , anyway, just cause it's " microsoft " doesn't necessarily mean it's junk...

What is the BEST BEST format for web?

Hi everyone,
I've been reading a lot lately and I found that PNG should be the best format. However, in our website (www.popticular.com), when I save them as web and pick PNG with best quality the logo seems pixalted. Is there another setting?
Feel free to log in to the site and check the lop left logo.
Thanks.

In answer to the original question - the absolutely very best format depends on content being saved. Different image formats use different compression algorithms, so PNG are ideal for images with transparency or solid colors block (like text) without any gradients. JPEG are great for photographic images because JPEG compression references start / end pixels in a gradual color shift (like skin tone or clouds) and discards all pixel data in between. Use preview mode in "save for web" to identify formats that work best for each particular image in terms of resulting size and quality. You do not need to save at 100% quality, human eye cannot tell the difference between 60% quality JPEG and 70% quality JPEG.
As you get close to finalizing your design, you might want to run it through Web Preflight that will give you some guidance on any potential issues you might get when converting file into HTML - https://www.oss-usa.com/web-preflight?promo=adobe
