Best codec on Windows platform for archiving

What's your codec of choice (besides cineform) on the Windows platform for exporting a finshed copy of your project? Essentially this would be your master.

I use lossless UT codec .avi files for archived masters.

Lagarith is also lossless, and good for archiving .avi masters.

Unix or Windows platform for large configuration

Hello,
Im working on a scoping phase for a new SAP project. Targeted SAP users will be between 3000 and 4000.
Like every time the standard discussion is opened: which platform to use?
I would like to go above the classic point of view: UNIX for large system and Windows for small system.
So Im looking for success stories with large system running on Windows plateform.
Thank you for your feedback.
Alain

My opinion UNIX flavors are always good for BIG implementations,It also depends on the database as well,for example with DB2 on AIX (where SAP also moving forward w.r.t DB) has got better performance compared to other combinations,and we have experienced that...

What is the best Codec in Adobe CC for Multicam Playback and edit?

I have been editing in FCP 7 for years and decided to make the switch (But I didn't want to ruin my old system (which is still good and seems to run better than the new one) so I bought a Mac-Mini as a test to play with CC). I admit my new CPU is a little weak, but it should run a few tracks of video in a sequence.
I tried switching 5 multi-cam tracks of video on the mac-mini on Apple-Pro Res LT running off a Firewire 800 drive. I have read that 4 streams is better, but whatever, I don't mind pushing a system. It didn't work. Video was to laggy and impossible to switch with.
My old system could edit about 5 pro-res LT video tracks simultaneously with decent results. Not great, but decent or good enough to see what the heck was happening. Though, the footage was on an internal drive.
My question is... Is there a power-user low cpu intensity codec that i should use for multi-cam mode? I am tempted to just switch in SD and Reconnect, but it would be a great thing if there was a codec that could be default for transcoding...
Mac-Mini
10.9.4
CPU Mac-Mini 2.3 Intel Core I7

Older System
Mac-Pro Tower

I do not know if this will help but here is a work by Harm from our PC-centric benchmark web site that show the complexities of Codecs

Best input methods framework/platform for Korean typing?

Hello, I am using DWM and have read the wikis for iBus, SCIM, and Fcitx, but it was hard to understand pros/cons and easy of use for each of method just by reading, so I am just looking for personal experience from those who have used one of these (preferably as many as possible) who can give me suggestions?

This might not help you a lot, but if you want a stable system, try using packages from the repo wherever possible, look at the news before you update your system and don't mess things up (like bad configuration etc.).
When it comes to performance, you won't gain much by compiling linux by yourself! Just use the linux package from [core] or if you want a bit more performance, install the ck-kernel from
[repo-ck]
Server = http://repo-ck.com/$arch
(this has to go to the bottom of /etc/pacman.conf)
(use that one which is best for your cpu (in your case this might be the package linux-ck-corex).
Hmmm, Linux-ck-corex doesn't even load.. I am now trying to install the generic one. Hope it works.
Edit: I will first try linux-lqx...

Best codec to Export AVCHD for Storage on Blu-ray

I'm just beginning to edit with Premiere Pro CS5 and I'm working with AVCHD footage natively for the first time (previously used FCP). I just shot a wedding and the client would like the Raw Footage that I shot. Normally I would just copy the AVCHD folders onto blu-ray discs and burn them as data discs with no issue. However, the Ceremony lasted longer than anticipated, so I have three 32GB cards that were filled up to about 26 GB (with only one clip on each camera as they just rolled the whole time. I actually have about an hour on each card that's worthless because the ceremony started an hour late since I did not have another Camera Op to go to the balcony to turn them off and back on.)
Instead of having to buy 50GB blu-ray discs (which I believe are a good bit more expensive than the 25GB discs I have), I would like to bring the AVCHD files into Premiere Pro, edit out the worthless hour of footage, then export it to a format that I can give to them on 25GB Blu-ray Discs. I have not figured out if I can export AVCHD footage and create new AVCHD files. I'm guessing that is not possible, and if it is not, what would be a recommended format to export to?
Basically I just need something that will be less than double the AVCHD file size and is an editable format that the client could potentially use again for editing if they want. My first thought was ProRes but I know that will be way too large. I've not worked with XDCAM, so I'm wondering if there is a type of XDCAM that might fit my situation? I'm open to any and all suggestions!
Thanks,
Mike

If it were me, I'd just give 'em what I have. At some point, I know I'd be using the 50 GB disks anyway, so having a stash lying around is not a bad thing.

Best settings for archiving HDV

Hi, I've done a lot of searching on google and can't really determine the best way to do this. I am trying to find out the best way to export video for archive. I shoot on HDV. What export settings do you find to work the best for you and why. I use both Final Cut and Final Cut express. MUCH THANKS!!

Is this who I think it is....I am sbcooler...go to youtube and look me up...hey...did you figure out how best to archive this footage yet?
You know a super fast way is to go from 1 HDV cam to another via firewire. I did that for that last video I did...and in real time you can clone a perfect digital copy onto another tape. You can use cheap Sony Premium tapes (blue wrapper - under $3 each if you buy them in quantity) or you can just use that 1TB drive and perhaps another 1TB and have it in 3 places. Frankly 1 copy on tape and 1 on a non RAID drive I think is safe enough for most stuff.

WHat is the best platform for SAP EP ?

Experts
Can any one help to share some information about what is the best platform for portal ?
Windows or UNIX
I have personally seen most of the customers are using windows as thier OS for Portal. When it comes to R3 BW SRM CRM and other application,its UNIX.
Interms of Performance , Windows is not right choice . I am not sure about life cycle management for the Windows.
A big advantage of using Windows hosting is that.NET technologies: ASP. NET, VB.NET easily works on these Hosts. If, the website is built using these technologies then opting a Windows server is most suitable
Microsoft Sharepoint is yet another application, which needs exclusive, Windows hosting. The only option available for users using this application is Windows server
Appreciate your inputs

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 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

Whats is the Best platform for CiscoWorks installation.

Hello,
Please advise whats the best platform for CiscoWorks installation. We are currently using the windows 2003 32-bit and CiscoWorks is slow.
We are currently using the LMS 3.2, RME 4.3.0, CM 5.2.1
THANKS

We are using 2008 R2 for LMS 4.0.1 - runs great - need loads of RAM and page file but we have not had many challenges. Java seems to run away with memory at times and we cycle out the services but it runs great.

The best Codec for Premiere CS4

I am trying to learn more about codecs, but still having trouble understanding it fully. I have a new computer, so it makes sense that I need a certain codec to install in order to view my video as I edit on Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My footage works on Windows Media Player, and the quality is somewhat Poor when I play it on Quicktime (but at least it works).
Now a few questions I have. First, does anyone know the best codec to use for Adobe Premiere Pro? I import DV files from my camcorder, and almost all of my video files are ".avi"
Also, I notice that the codecs are different for each media player that I apply this footage to. And I simply see instructions to download the correct codec. Well first I dont know which codec would be best for my setup, plus my second question: Once I do install the correct codec, will Premiere automatically know to use that codec? Or do I have to adjust a certain setting in Premiere to make the correct codec function? I could not see any setting that allowed me to change the codec...
Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ok, back from my break from all this, now time to get back to work. I will respond to everyone's post with the hopes that everyone will continue to be awesome and help me through this:
Glenn - I would upload a clip, but all of my video files are well over 5MB, and to do this I would have to recapture a clip, and spend alot of time making sure I upload it correctly, when i have already spent so much time trying to fix this and I simply do not think it is relevant at this point.
Harm - I'll see if I can get your questions answered properly. The only item under my Display Adapters is the Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family. I contacted HP about how to find out what my Graphics and Video drivers were, and all they could say was that they are all components of this Chipset Family.
I do not know how to determine which Codec Adobe is trying to use (or needs for that matter). And I have downloaded so many suggested codecs it's not even funny, I dont even know which ones are in use at this point.
The camera I am using is a Canon GL2 MiniDV Camcorder, with a firewire cable. These are my Sequence Settings:
-DV NTSC
29.97 Frames/Second
Frame Size 720 x 430 (4:3 ratio)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC (0.9091)
-Lower Field First
Display Format: 30fps Drop-Frame Timecode
Preview File Format: NTSC DV
Codec: DV NTSC (will not allow me to configure)
So G-Spot will not properly identify the codecs that come with Premiere ProCS4... Then why in the world was I instructed to download it?... I have so many things to delete from my computer as soon as I have the solution.
Keano66 - I agree with you completely, I am positive that it is a driver issue. I downloaded Driver Doctor/Driver Detective (and paid for it, eeek...) and it shows that my graphics driver does indeed need to be updated. I have downloaded and updated all of these drivers, However Premiere Pro has not changed a bit...
But the reason I think it is a driver issue: I was instructed by HP support to completely uninstall this chipset Driver, and then to reinstall it from the HP website. So i did that and restarted the computer, and guess what? Premiere was FINALLY WORKING!!!! but then I had a different problem, all the icons on my computer and diplay settings were messed up, and I was then Instructed by HP to install updates to this driver. When I did this, all of my display settings were set back to normal, and everything seemed fine, except now, once again, I am back to square 1 with my problems on premiere Pro... Like before, it plays the sound, but not the video...
Any suggestions? Thanks everyone!

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.
Bill

Which codec and settings (HD) for both QT OSX and QT Windows ?

I make short HD (1280x960 or 1280x720) movies with FCE 4.
But my files don't play in QT for Windows. They are encoded with AIC and I just have a black screen with audio...
Which HD encoding will be "universal" and played on any computer?

AIC is an editing codec and not intended for use as a delivery codec.
H.264 video codec and AAC audio is the best combination.

What is the best backup plan for Archive Databases in Exchange 2013?

Hi,
We have Exchange 2013 with Hybrid setup with O365.
We have On premise exchange 2013 servers with 3 copies of primary Database & Single Copy of Archival DBs.
Now we have to frame backup policy with Symantec Backup Exec which has to backup our primary & Archival DBs
In 2007 exchange, before migration to 2013, we had policy of DBs - Weekly Full backup & Monthly Full Backup
Please suggest what would be the best possible backup strategy we can follow with 2013 DBs.
That too, especially for Archiving DBs
Our Archiving Policy are - 3 category - Any emails older than 6 month OR 1 Year OR 2 Year should go to Archive mailbox.
Keeping this in mind how to design the backup policy ?
Manju Gowda

Hi Manju,
you do not find best practice different from the common backup guidelines, as there is no archive db specific behaviour. Your users may move items to their archive at any time as well as your retention policies may move items that machted the retention policies
at any time. The result is frequently changing content to both, mailbox and archive mailbox databases, so you need to backup both the same way. You also may handle archives together with mailboxes together in the mailbox db
Please keep in mind that backup usually means data availability in case of system failure. So you may consider to do a less frequent backup with your archive db with dependency to the "keep deleted items" (/mailboxes) setting on your mailbox database.
Example:
keep deleted items: 30 days
backup of archive db: every 14 days
restore procedure:
* restore archive DB content
* add difference from recover deleted items (or Backup Exec single item recovery) for the missing 14 days.
So it depends more on your process than on a backup principle.
Regards,
Martin
