Best setting for compressor-JVC Everio Hard Disc Camcorder Quicktime file?

Hi,
I am still having trouble figuring out why compressor is taking so long. Maybe I need to call Apple Support. I tried the web source setting-medium quality, but it is still taking 4+ hours, and continues to increase in length till completion. It is imported from fcp quicktime movie. What is the best setting to use ?#Agghh this is frustrating. I only want to upload this onto a file share web data base system, I don't even need to burn it to a DVD. Should I choose the H 2.6.. for iPod, the web source setting, or something else? These are just 1 hour/ 1 1/2 hour movies that fit on a 4.7 GB DVD before I imported them into fcp>now the fcp file has expanded up to 69GB. What is the deal? I re-installed fc studio. Any suggestions?

If a file from a DVD is now 69 GB then it must have been converted along the way from the original DVD.
How are you importing? What are the specs of the file? What is your work flow process?

  • What is current best practice for backing up a hard disc?

    With the availability of various cloud applications, I would like to know if backing up an hard disc is now best done to the cloud?  For example, should you buy space in Amazon.com, or somewhere else on the Internet,  and then backup your hard disc to that space? Could you backup an entire harddisc to iCloud?  Your knowledge and experience is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    iCloud doesn't provide storage except for pictures
    and your music, and only under limited circumstances.
    Merchant online backup services such as Carbonite
    and others exist for this reason. And you can sync
    your files with/to Dropbox. Many users keep a local
    copy of their files on  Time Machine or other hard
    drives in addition to remote backups (in case of a
    fire or other event compromising the local solution).
    Backup software or cloning programs are useful in
    all the above. You have to work at backup a bit -
    it's like insurance, a bit of expense now to save a
    lot of heartache later.Good to see you're determined
    to forestall potential disaster - too many lack it.
    Good luck, Tom

  • What's the best setting for a best shades quality?

    Hi!
    I would like to know what are the best codec and the best setting for a video with 1920x1080 of resolution.
    I've tried them all but nothing because the shades...are not shades.
    I want a video that is like a uncompressed video but lighter. Same quality, same shades.
    I've tried with Canopus Lossless but the video is darker and huge (7 min for >17 gb),
    then with Canopus HQ, same quality but a little bit lighter (6 gb),
    I've tried with all of codecs and settings but I haven't found what I want.
    Who can help me for the best settings for the best shades?
    Thanks so much.
    P.S: Sorry for my english!

    I used the PNG codec but the video is too big.
    New Question:  I've tried to encode the video with Canopus HQ but to 720p and now the video is more lighter, I wanted to upload it on YouTube but is not compatible with the standards.
    If I encode this video by changeing the codec to Microsoft Avi uncompressed, can I have the same quality and the same weight?

  • What is the best setting for export movie in widescreen format?

    Please tell me what is the best setting for exporting movie in Widescreen format?

    Like in After effect we use "NTSC D1 Widescreen Square Pixel".,
    Carefully examine the codec and pixel dimensions of that output file. That's certainly easy for an experienced VFX person like yourself.
    Then carefully look over the presets in FCP to find the same attibutes. You can also use the online help system for FCP and search for "D1"
    However, your question remains unanswerable because we don't know how you're getting to the monitor. What are you playing back you AE sequences on that displays them on your LCD? You're assuming we know what you're doing and, I assure you, we do not.

    New Imac/New Final Cut Ex/New JVC Hard Disc Camcorder
    Please help me. I have been editing on a tiny little pc, and finally made the switch. Now, I can't access any of my videos, can't edit or even open the files. If all the files are moi or mod, what does final cut express need to open the files? How do I go about converting them? Such a big powerful machine, such limited accessibility!
    Thanks!

    FCE4 on an Intel Mac can only edit DV, HDV and AVCHD video.
    All other formats will not work.
    You will have to download an app like Streamclip to convert your non-standard files to DV.

    Are you holding down the "d" key, all by itself, just after the system shuts down for a restart?
    And how long did you hold it down?
    I held mine down for about 40-50 seconds. Then I lookat at my routers WAN light and it was flickering so I let up on the d key.
    If that does not work then maybe there is something wrong with your MBP. Is that the reason you want to run this test, something isn't right with your unit?

  • Best settings for professional printing quality .pdf from Microsoft Publisher file?

    Hello,
    I have created a couble of design documents in Microsoft Publisher, and would like them professionally printed. The printer who will print them has asked me to send him the artwork as a .pdf, with crop marks, color density bars and registration marks.
    I have Acrobat X Pro, and have tried to use the print AdobePDF function from within Microsoft Publisher but I am struggling to get the best quality result with all the printer marks. Can anyone suggest what are the best setting for a professional .pdf?
    I have chosen 'Press Quality' print settings and that helps to make the images look good. But I cant make it work with CMYK? The Adobe printing function doesnt seem to like the 'Composite CMYK' selection needed to make the printing marks available?
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Liz

    Try the "Smallest Size" Preset. As a side note, you can reduce the ppi from 300 to 150 in Image > image size (resample on) to reduce file size and keep quality.

  • HT1926 When I click "download" a window pops up that says "Thank you for downloading ..." but the QuickTime file is not downloaded.

  • What is the best setting for compressing to a Window Media Player?

    I now have the latest Compressor, just now need to figure out which is the best setting to use for compressing to a Windows Media Player. Does anyone know which is the best method?

    I'd propose you buy a licence for Telestreams FLip4MAC (flipfactory) Quicktime components to enable ENCODING for HD and SD as you need. It works ok however none of my work requires specifics for windows player. I have a licence just the same.
    If you have Flip4mac already installed, you can use the system preferneces  panel to order a an ENCODER component licence. There may be others around as well.
    You can just use compressor.app and change the inspector video to use "quicktime components/windows media encoder" in the batch job.. its pretty easy.

  • Best setting for exportin a frame-based codec MOV?

    Hello there,
    I have been asked to provide a video (.mov file) in a format with a frame-based codec. I also need to make sure to export it in progressive at the original fps rate. But I am unsure which one would be the best format?
    My project has an aspect ration of 16:9 at 25fps. When I try exporting for example with Compressor, it does not work. So I only have a chance to export using Quick Time Conversion.
    The last one I used was HDV 1080p25. Is this one a frame-based codec format?
    Thanks!

    I would have to agree with you gogiangigo. Photo JPEG sounds like a very good idea for a lightweight i-frame only codec.
    Here are some facts.
    Photo JPEG @ 75% Quality
    PhotoJPEG at its highest 100% quality setting is actually a 4:4:4 codec. When reduced down to 75%, it switches to 4:2:2 to help with the compression scheme. So why is it included here? The AJA Kona SD and Blackmagic Design DeckLink use this codec at 75% quality for its default offline compressed mode and with good reason. Virtually no banding in the gradients and average mosquito edging on the RGB colors. The compression artifacts are really only noticeable in the NTSC color bars and a little in the color filter test. And look at the x10 generation test... almost a pixel-perfect copy of the first generation! It actually passes through generations better than Kona's own 10-bit Trillions codec. Amazing! And look at that file size! Only 2.7 MB per second! That's better bandwidth (and way better quality) than DV can ever dream of. This codec truly can pass for an online codec with no problem. Best part is this codec is free to any QuickTime user, can be used on any platform and runs great even on PowerBooks.

  • Best setting for my set of devices

    I would like to know what would be the best settings to get the maximum throughput for my set of devices.
    Last night both Airport Extreme and Airport Express were updated with firmware to 7.5.2
    1) Upstairs I have an Airport Extreme. Newer version with 2.4gz and 5ghz bands. This is connected to my AT&T Uverse router/modem. My iMac is ethernet connected to the Airport. Running speed tests I get almost the expected speeds of 12mbs download and 1.5mbs upload.
    I had setup a 2.4ghz network and a 5ghz network but may not have used the best settings for my environment.
    2) Downstairs is an Airport Express. I is a "n" version
    3) Connected to the Airport Express via ethernet is a small ethernet hub and connected to that are 2 Dishnetwork 722 DVRs. Each 722 has a Sling Adapter to allow viewing the contents over the internet via iPhone, iPad or web browser. This was the goal for the Express, to supply that info.
    Getting max speed out of this Express is important to get the DVRs output out of my house and to my iPad or iPhone.
    4) These are the following devices that are connecting at the house via wifi:
    a) iPhone 4
    b) iPhone 3g
    c) Apple TV newest model and is downstairs next to the Airport Express
    d) iPad
    e) Macbook Air first generation and this is used downstairs in the same room as the Airport Express
    Using Airport Utility it appears that all devices show 80211.n and 5ghz except the iphone 3G, which shows 802.11 b/g AND shows it attached to the Airport Express even when I'm next to the Extreme.
    From the Airport Utility, I've seen the values fluctuate but here is what shows Signal, Rate and Noise for each device as a snapshot on the Airport Extreme
    iPhone 4 -44, -96, 65
    Airport Express -59, -96, 144
    Apple TV -70, -96, 52
    iPad -50, -96, 65
    Macbook Air -24, -96, 216
    Using the Airport Utility, the Airport express show these values
    iPhone 3G -66, -85, 54
    Airport Extreme -54, -86 104
    Let me know if you need any other details.

    Any advice on the best Airport Utility settings for the Extreme and the Express?
    The default settings work very well, so unless you have a specific reason to change them, I would stay with those settings
    Should the Express extend a network or join a network?
    "Extend" provides more wireless coverage in the area where the Express is located. "Join" provides better bandwidth if you are using only for iTunes, etc. Most users want more wireless coverage.
    If I were to extend at network, should the Express extend to the 5ghz or the 2.4ghz
    If you have good signal strength at the location of the Express, 5 GHz will support up to 270 Mbps bandwidth. 2.4 GHz will support up to 130 Mbps. You want as much bandwidth as you can get for high definition video performance if you are using wireless. If you have an option to connect the DVRs using ethernet, that will provide the best performance.
    The iPhone would have to connect back to your main router if you set the Express up for 5 GHz. It is not easy to extend 5 GHz. You literally have to have very close to a line of sight situation between the main router and the Express for this to work.
    If I were to get another Extreme, should it join or extend the network on the Extreme upstairs.
    The Extreme does not really do anything if you set it up to "join". The ethernet ports are not active. All you would be able to do with the device in this setting is attach a printer or hard drive to the USB port.
    Any documents that would explain the best choices for linking 2 Extremes together?
    Apple AirPort Networks is a very good guide.
    If you are linking two routers together, an ethernet connection is always the "best" way to do this because it provides maximum bandwidth performance. Up to 1000Mbps with ethernet. "Extending" using wireless only can work well if the "extending" AirPort receives a very strong wireless signal. Ideally, there would be a line-of-sight situation between the devices or close to that ideal.
