The topic comes up weekly, sometimes daily, so you've got lots of advice to rummage through. However, you must determine if you want streaming files, which require the QT Streaming Server application, or you're actualy downloading with quick start. Huge difference.
Be aware, the term "best" is not applicable to compression for Web video. You can have image size, frame rate, and image quality be better but only one at a time. Pick one, the others suffer. It's a question of bit rate, not file size. Time to take your Compressor manual to the gym with you. Transcoding is a difficult and complex process.

  • Best conversion for the web site

    Hi Folks
    I made a Video with my HD camera and made a nice movie in iMovie HD 6 in 1080i-30. what is the best conversion to view it on my web site. I have tried a few of the settings but none thrill me. all either too small or too square. What are the best settings for wide screen conversion for the web?
    Thanks
    Don

    hey everyone
    just wanted to say thanks, I have been working on my 1st iMovie project and had a few questions and everyone here was great
    I finished my 1st iMovie project yesterday and posted it to the web site today
    http://www.pspartyband.com/Live%20Video%20Clips.html
    I just bought the Cannon HV20 camera on Monday 5/7/07 and shot this Video on Tuesday night 5/8/07. I have never owned a Video camera before and true to the advertisement the canon was just point and shoot and I got pretty decent Video. We passed the camera around to everyone in the band so that everyone could shoot a little and everyone could be in the video. next time I think i'll bring a friend to shoot so we can just play.
    I had no problem at all importing the video from the HV20 into iMovie as some here have been experiencing. I thought iMovie was very easy to use and since I am used to working in Logic Pro I know to hit save every couple of edits, just in case of a crash, which it did a couple of times
    anyway thanks again and let me know what you think of my video

  • What are BEST settings for the WEB?

    Hello, I have a short in RED Hd 1920/1080 finished on FCP 6. I made a QT and then used compressor to make a 800mbps Quicktime for the web, deinterlaced and checked BETTER tab, others stayed with regular.
    I also made one through FCP into a QT in 640/480 which is size I need.
    On the web it looks clear and plays fine. Problem is when there is motion or
    lots of movement, it stops and goes, jitters like ****, not smooth all.
    What settings are best to make it SMOOOTH, just like when watching it on computer or as best. I know you got much bigger things to talk about but if you know please let me know.
    H.264, Mpeg4 or Sorenson ect...just looking for smooth as can get it for playing on web.
    THANKS.

    800mbps Quicktime for the web,< </div>
    The compression is reducing the number of pixels being shown in order to maintain the bitrate. So rapid motion, which requires nearly all of the pixels to be redrawn, causes things to stutter.
    Compression is really, really hard to do. Really.

  • Best Practice for Securing Web Services in the BPEL Workflow

    What is the best practice for securing web services which are part of a larger service (a business process) and are defined through BPEL?
    They are all deployed on the same oracle application server.
    Defining agent for each?
    Gateway for all?
    BPEL security extension?
    The top level service that is defined as business process is secure itself through OWSM and username and passwords, but what is the best practice for security establishment for each low level services?
    Regards
    Farbod

    It doesnt matter whether the service is invoked as part of your larger process or not, if it is performing any business critical operation then it should be secured.
    The idea of SOA / designing services is to have the services available so that it can be orchestrated as part of any other business process.
    Today you may have secured your parent services and tomorrow you could come up with a new service which may use one of the existing lower level services.
    If all the services are in one Application server you can make the configuration/development environment lot easier by securing them using the Gateway.
    Typical probelm with any gateway architecture is that the service is available without any security enforcement when accessed directly.
    You can enforce rules at your network layer to allow access to the App server only from Gateway.
    When you have the liberty to use OWSM or any other WS-Security products, i would stay away from any extensions. Two things to consider
    The next BPEL developer in your project may not be aware of Security extensions
    Centralizing Security enforcement will make your development and security operations as loosely coupled and addresses scalability.
    Thanks

  • Best way to save HQ video for the web?

    What´s the best settings for great video-quality for the web?
    I have a 5 min long clip I´d like to put on my website.
    I would like it to be 480x360 and with good quality. It´s ok if the file gets 30-40 MB.
    I have tryed the Expert Settings, Quicktime Movie, Broadband - High, but the movie gets "striped".
    What´s wrong?
    A lot Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    Hi Magnus40,
    I'm not sure what you are doing to create this problem. I create web movies all the time and have never had this problem, although, I never use the advanced settings cos I have never had to. When you go to the Quicktime export pane in iMovie you have the quality choices from full quality to web. When you select one of these it gives an estimate of the file size. For that length clip you should not need to use any setting besides full quality. I'd say the problem is coming from the 480x360 aspect ratio. This is what is compressing the file. Have you tried exporting it as full quality and then uploading it? The only problem you face by doing this is, it will take a long time for the movie to load on your website. For a short clip you may find that the CD ROM setting is sufficient.
    Good luck.

  • Best way to encode Quicktime file for the web?

    Hello all and thanks in advance for your help with this problem.
    I need to know the best way to encode a quicktime clip for the web.
    This was my first try:
    http://www.denmothers.net/trailer-big.htm
    It works fine in safari, firefox, and ie for mac, provided they have quicktime 6 or later but it seems not to work on pc browsers. The file is encoded as an .mp4 using compressor and played with the browser's quicktime plugin. I've read that encoding files as a .mov provides greater compatibility but when i compress it as a .mov using the mpeg4 codec the file sizes are huge and when i use the photo-jpeg codec the quality is poor. h.264 looks great and has low file sizes but then my viewers have to have quicktime 7 which i think is too limiting because many will have older computers.
    How should I encode my file such that it works best across browsers and platforms and has the highest quality at the lowest size?
    Best,
    Keegan

    If you open an .mp4 file in quicktime pro you can then select File->Save-As and you are presented with two options:
    Save as self-contained: This will create a .mov that is the same size as your .mp4 but is playable on any system w/ QuickTime 6 and the Mpeg-4 codec. (PC's included).
    Save as reference: This will create a small (>500kb) file that will simply reference the .mp4. If they're in the same folder the .mov created will open the .mp4. Without the .mp4 the .mov in this case is useless.
    For what you're trying to do I suggest going with self-contained.

  • Best Video Compression for the web???

    I have read a number of discussions about which codec to use to compress video for the web and I’ve done my own tests and bar the longer encode time, which is not a problem to me, H.264 seems to come out as the best. I can get a superb quality, small enough for a quick download EXCEPT… this website needs to be friendly to the PC community.
    What do you all suggest I do?
    Go with lower quality MPEG-4 or Sorenson 3 and have my work look “not so good” or use awesome H.264 and provide a link to download the codec, which busy PC people will probably not bother to do.
    This is my dilemma.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    I love the results I get when using H.264. Even low data rate files look good (even when I display them double size).
    But it requires your page visitors have QuickTime 7 installed to view your QT files.
    QuickTime 7 is nearly a year old and most of your Mac viewers will have it installed. It is also "bundled" with the iTunes software download that many PC users have installed.
    H.264 is the only codec that requires version 7. Any other choice can be played using older versions of QuickTime.
    As much as I like H.264 its installed viewer base doesn't reflect the visitors system settings for Web work. If your crowd is savvy to QuickTime they will not mind the download to upgrade. If you use tracking software on your visitors you'll be able to see if they hang around for the download.
    MPEG-4 may be a better Web use choice.

  • Getting best possible look for the web!

    I am using Compressor for compressing my footage for the web. When I export out of FCP my footage looks nice and crystal clear however when I compress the footage then upload to the net its not as nice looking as it was. Now I recently bought a Compressor DVD Tutorial by Ripple Training Series. I pretty much knew just about everything on that DVD. I did try some suggestive settings that have made somewhat of a difference but its not crystal clear like many videos I see uploaded to DVXuser. The settings below might be okay it might just be the hosting site I have my videos on. Currently I am using www.sharkle.com
    Here are some settings I use:
    Compression Type - Sorenson Video 3
    Frame Rate 15
    Key Frame Every 75 frames
    Quality - Medium
    Restrict Data to 400kbps (this is for DSL modems) around 1500 for cable modems
    Audio
    Q Design Music 2
    Channels = Stereo
    Sample Rate = 48k
    Streaming = Fast Start
    Geometry
    320x240
    If anyone sees anything that I should change or try out differently please let me know. Again I am using Compressor and can also compress using Quicktime as well.
    Here is a link to the latest video I completed for the web:
    http://www.sharkle.com/video/78755/
    I am not sure if SHARKLE is recompressing the footage. If it is then thats why its not as good of quality.

    Their making a FLV file from your sent in video.
    Push your video back up to a high quality movie and send that in to them.
    What you have sent in has all been squeezed highly with compression. Then they take and further compress it in the FLV format. Double compressing...not good.

  • Compressing video for the web

    I have had people ask me to make a short 30 clip for the web say of some of there sporting shots, what is the best way to go about knowing what kind of compression you use and what type of file is best.

    Bill bill bill... billy B... Will!!! Willy.... BillyWill...
    Search is your friend. This comes up three to two thousand times a week.
    Don't expect me to spoon feed you... but export it as a quicktime conversion and use one of the presets.
    I really like Broadband High... will be in h.264 and will be roughly 3 megs a minute-- will look a whole lot better than the demo reel you have up on your site right now.
    Good luck,

  • Clip for the web

    Hi. A client has asked us to create a clip suitable for the web for a project we recently edited for them. What the best programme to use to this? I heard Mpeg Steamclip is good but there is sooo many settings. The clip was edited in FCP 7 its 5 minutes longs. Client simply wants the file so they can upload to their site. could someone please advise settings which result in the clip loading pretty fast while keeping the quality good.
    Thanks.

    Any serious converter will have many settings for your indulgence. Before you do any conversions ask your client of the size he requires. You can use compressor to convert to H264, or a load of other programmes such as MPEG Streamclip. The problem with other converters is that they cost money whereas compressor is part of FCS and MPEG Streamclip is free.

  • HD video compressed for the web

    I was doing some testing trying to figure out the best way to compress the HD video I get from the Sony XDCAM HD for the web (streaming). I shoot in HD (1080/30P) because it's needed for our videos. The web streaming is secondary.
    I would prefer to make the web videos .flv because it works best and most easily cross-platform. In the real world, the majority of users have Windows PCs, which made me hesitant to use h.264 (.m4v) because it probably would require the average user to download things they may not wan to. Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browers.
    So, I took three 10 second clips of steady camera video with audio from the camera that I used in all tests. I will refer to them by clip number...
    Clip 1: 30P 16:9 High quality, 10sec=45mb
    Clip 2: 30P 16:9 Low Quality, 10sec=24mb
    Clip 3: 60i 16:9 High Quality, 10sec=45mb
    First I tested making FLV is Adobe CS3 Encoder using the High Quality (700) setting.
    Test 1 used size 848x480 (16:9)
    Clip 1: 1.3mb
    Clip 2: 1.1mb
    Clip 3: 1.2mb
    Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
    Test 2 used size 480x270 (16:9)
    Clip 1: 1.2mb
    Clip 2: 1.1mb
    Clip 3: 1.1mb
    Comments: Looked very crisp, audio was clean, slightly darker image than original on default settings
    Next, I tested making .m4v using the h.264 iPod settings in Compressor.
    Test 1 used size 640x370.
    Clip 1: 240kb
    Clip 2: 1440kb
    Clip 3: 204kb
    Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... why? I don't know, but I don't shoot on LQ for things anyway.
    Test 2 used size 320x180.
    Clip 1: 160kb
    Clip 2: 865kb
    Clip 3: 865kb
    Comments: Image wasn't quite as clean as the Flash files, but still good. Much lighter/brighter than the Flash files also. Low Quality HD video had high file size... also the 60i file...why? I don't know.
    In conclusion, I'm lucky that I shoot 30P since it worked well in all areas. The h264 codec provides a much smaller file size than Flash, with a good image. Amazing considering we started with a 45MB clip. What are the standards for aspect ratios for putting 16:9 video on the web? I haven't heard much set in stone like you have for 4:3 video. Nonetheless, the 640x360 or 480x270 seem to be a nice size for most uses.
    I have heard that in Flash 9 you can chance the m4v extension to flv and it will work. IF that is true, that would be great because now my concern is that a base Windows PC cannot play these .m4v images without plugins/codecs. I suppose right now its a tradeoff between smaller file size/less compatibility with h264 or larger file size, great compatibility with Flash.
    Any comments or suggestions to help out would be great. I typed this fast so forgive me if I left out any important info.

    Hi APPLE27:
    One comment from your post that immediately caught my attention was this, "Nonetheless, it has to be viewable on all computers in all browsers."
    Unfortunately, it is unrealistic to expect one digital video file to be viewable on "all computers in all browsers" as there are simply too may variations in both hardware and software.
    A common approach when offering digital video is to provide two formats to choose from and then within each of those two formats a few versions of the video for different bandwidths.
    For example, a web site might offer Video for Windows and QuickTime. For each of these, there would be a low bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file and a high bandwidth Video for Windows file and QuickTime file (four files total). Of course, there's also Flash Video, Real Video, MPEG1, and so on.
    For better or worse, YouTube.com has allowed video content creators the realistic expectation of creating a digital video file that is viewable on "most computers". But, the video is unavoidably tied to that web site.
    When it comes to online distribution of video, it's still very open ended.
    Also, computers are not all that's out there. Mobile devices are a huge market and you'd be hard pressed to create a single digital video file that will play on all mobile devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, Palm Treo, Sony PSP, etc.) either from local storage or from a mobile browser.
    QuickTime offers a solution for creating a referencing movie - one file that links to other digital video files, but it too is imperfect at best when it comes to reaching the broadest audience possible.
    With my few comments here, I'm just scratching the surface. But, it all starts where you are right now: caring about the image quality when exporting from your edited master.

  • Exporting FCP 16:9 to QT for the web in 16:9?

    Hello everyone,
    I recently began doing my projects in 16:9 mode. I shoot them with my GL2's in 16:9, then capture to FCP as usual. FCP then automatically recognizes the 16:9 footage and adjusts everything perfectly for me. I figured out how to get the footage to DVDSP by 'forcing letterbox'. This plays the true 16:9 footage on a widescreen TV perfectly.
    Now, I've come to another bridge that I can't seem to cross... that is... exporting the video to QT for the web in 16:9. I did a lot of searching here and all of the topics related to this did not help me at all. So, what I'm going to do is explain what I used to do when I shot in 4:3 mode:
    1. In FCP... File>Export>QT Conversion
    2. Format: QT Movie> Options
    3. Settings> Sorenson Video 3
    4. Frame Rate>15
    5. Key Frames: Every 150 frames
    6. Compressor> Medium
    7. Data Rate: Automatic
    8. OK
    9. Sound>Settings>Mpeg-4 Audio, 16bit, Stereo
    10. OK
    11. Prepare for Internet Streaming> Fast Start
    12. OK
    13. SAVE
    This usually turns a full sized 5 minute clip into a nice little presentation for the web no larger than 35 or so MB's. You can see a boat load of files like that on my website at (www.buerhausdesign.com).
    Now, what I want to do is get a similar sized video for the web, only in 16:9 as I'm now shooting and editing in 16:9.
    Does anyone have step-by-step instructions on how to do this? I know it's possible as I see movie trailors in 16:9 all the time in QT.
    Any help would be appreciated:)
    Matt

    Nope, tried all of that. It stretches the image way beyond 16:9. Currently, if I export as a 4:3 file, the widescreen displays correctly, but I get two black bars at the top and bottom of the frame. Manually sizing to a 16:9 size, to say 720x404, stretches everything... including the unwanted black bars.
    When I export to DVDSP, the black bars go away when I 'force letterbox'. There's gotta be a way to get it to work in QT.

  • Best practice for consuming web services

    Hi
    we are consuming web service in orchestration by "Add Generated Item".By using this option it creates 1 orch,1xsd file and some bindings.
    we have different projects for schemas,maps and orchestration under our solution in visual studio.
    Now i need to know that what will be the best practice for consuming web service in orchestration i mean in which project should i use "add generated item" (in orchstration project or in schemas project) coz it generates both 1 orch and 1
    schema.
    thanks

    From a service orientation perspective you should abstract the service artifacts from the other artifacts. Otherwise it will be very difficult to update the service interface without affecting the other artifacts. For example you don't want to have to redeply
    your entire application if only one field changes in the service you consume.
    So I typically generate the items, remove the unnecessary stuff, and put them in a separate project.
    Depending on the control you have over the services you want to consume, it would even be better to create another layer of abstraction. By that I mean create your own interface (schema) and map that one to the one the service exposes. This basically
    is only necessary if you consume external services that are beyond your control. By abstracting the interface it exposes, you limit the impact of changes of that interface on the rest of your system. All changes are abstracted behind your own interface.
    If you consume internal services, you can probably control the way the interface is defined. In a service oriented world all internal services expose a well known interface, based on the domain objects you have within your organisation.

  • Advice on saving DVD video and re-sizing for the web

    Hello...
    I'm looking into purchasing a copy of Adobe Premiere - but I need advice on which version I need - and if it can do what I'm after.
    I want to transfer my own video work from DVDs and save them as MPEG4 files. I then want to upload them on to my website. They'll be about 10 minutes each each DVD will have several videos on them.
    Is Adobe Premiere able to do this...? If so which version would suit me best? It's simply to do the above with no editing, just re-sizing for the web and saving as an MPEG4 file.
    Thank you for your help and time in advance.

    For web video creation, I use a program called V2F. It creates Flash rather than mp4, but if you're not stuck on that format, the files are very good quality.
