Best settings to put 2 programs 2+hrs on 4.7 GB DVD

Hello,
I just wanted to find out the best settings to squeeze two programs (one is 45 min and the other is 1 hour 30 min)onto a 4.7 single layer disc? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi:
You can use the standard DVD: Best quality 150 min preset. Remember you must encode your audio to Dolby 2 (AC3) to get that size into a single disc.
For future reference you can use this Bitrate Calculator to build a custom preset to fit your program lenght.
Hope that helps !

Best Settings for Audigy 2 ZS Recording Out to S-VHS or DVD Recor

I?m recording some very machine intensi've video & sound to outboard devices. I'm using these outboard devices so that the recording process itself does not impact the demonstration performance.
Concerning the sound out, I?m using the line & 2 out of the card, and running it through a pro level audio board (Mackie) for any adjustments & monitoring before taking the line out of the board into the recording device. When returning the sound for monitoring, I?m also running from the external device directly to the board and directly from there to either headphones or control room monitors. Thus, I?m using the Audigy for initial sound generation. So far, I've not really made any ajustments at the board other than level or balance. I like to keep things pretty flat in recording.
I?ve looked around for recommendations as to the best settings for the Audigy card from its internal software for this situation, but find no ready reference. My concern is that I have the ?hottest? signal from this device, while being very concerned with audio quality. I?m looking for both ?punch? and ?clarity? of signal.
Is there a document or source that would give me this direction? While I can move from this SB card to other more studio based cards, I?d like to keep the demo product in line with what the actual target audience would have in their machines, and be able to replicate at their workstation.
For example, does the card function best at 00% (0db) output, or 50% (-5db) output?
Or some setting in between...most likely...
Or, is there some other setting I?m not aware of?
I have what I believe are the latest card drivers and software suite, XP Pro, with every possible OS and other machine hardware update available.
Thanks,
Rich

Best settings for desktop i7?

I installed After Effects CC 2014 on a computer with i74790k, Radeon 6850 and 8 GB of RAM.
The program runs smoothly but it makes Windows 8.1 a bit unresponsive, for example opening and closing folders take longer, also browsing files, opening the start menu, etc.
What are the best settings for decent editing and desktop stability?

Check your memory and multiprocessing settings. The RAM reserved for other applications probably needs to be higher.

Minimun requirements according to Adobe:

According to almost everyone who uses it. The 4GB is the bare minimum for it to run. However, you need more than 8 for it to run well. I'd consider 16 as a minimum for it to run well, but considering how cheap and easy it is to upgrade RAM, I'd put more than that in your system if possible.

Best settings for importing to iPod classic

Have a lot of music on my ipod that I have imported at low quality settings. Am going to take some time re-doing this so would like to know the best settings for the best quality sound. Have plenty of room and would prefer a richer sound rather than more quantity.
Many thanks.
(I assume I would put the old track in the recycle bin and then import the new track.

Best Settings For Converting Audio Music CD's To MP3 Format

I have a huge collection (between my dad and I) of music CD's that I want to add to iTunes and put on several iPods (my 80 GB Classic, his 16 GB Nano and my mom's 8 GB Nano). What are the best settings to accomplish this and have it sound the best when loaded onto the iPods?

Depending on how good your headphones are and how good your hearing is different settings will yield acceptable results. The old, years ago, MP3 setting was always 128k. This is generally a decent compromise between file size and audio quality.
If all devices are iPods the you can get slightly better audio with same size files by using AAC format set to 160k.

What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format?

I have researched and found out that the AAC format rules over the MP3 format as fas as sound quality goes with lossy formats. Example: AAC at 128 is better than MP3 at 160 as so forth. My questions are: What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format? Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format? Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format? Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format? Please help!

It is a matter of opinion, but I suggest 256 kb/s, CBR, and leave all other settings on automatic.
Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format?
Yes. Just put them in a playlist and burn.
Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format?
Yes. You will see it as an option in the Import Settings.
Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format?
EAC does a better job of correcting errors in damaged CDs, but for normal CDs iTunes does a fine job of ripping to AAC.

What's the best settings to Export movie for smaller file sizes?

Hi, I've been working on some helmet cam footage which was taken with Xvidmpeg4.avi and was advised to convert it to dvavi for editing in PrE, this created a huge file to work with, the original footage was 206mb and the finished edited dvavi file is now 1.56gb, what settings can I use to export the movie with a much smaller file size, but hopefully try to retain some quality, to upload to places like Vimeo? I thought I would try to export it in the same as the original footage Xvidmpeg4.avi thinking this might compress it again to something like the 206mb of the original and the original was good quality footage, but PrE just hangs up with a box stating 'Xvid Status (Not Responding)' and when I try to cancel that the whole thing crashes and closes? So when I go to File > Export > Movie, what would be the best settings in:
General > File Type ?
Video > Compressor
lots of options under compressor if I select the file type as Microsoft AVI, so I'm guessing something under that would compress it to a smaller file size but what, I could spend all night trying different settings so hoping for some advice?
Or, if I'm completely in the wrong place for the settings and should be doing something else please tell me?
Thanks, Gav

Thanks for the replies, but to me it's still confusing - simply because there are so many settings, if I go to Share/Personal Computer I'm then presented with a whole load of settings
NTSC Flash Video
MPEG
DVAVI
Windows Media
QuickTime
and under each of those is a lot more advanced settings?
I'm guessing I wouldn't use flash or quicktime, so which of the others would I use and what are the advanced settings to use as I can't find anything that is .wmv or .mov
What I've done with other videos that I've exported from PrE as dvavi is then to put it through Windows Movie Maker, Publish Movie, This Computer, then put the settings to Windows Media DVD Quality (PAL) (3.0 Mps) - this seemed to be the only setting that reduced the file size considerably but still had good quality, but it's still about twice the original file size?
This all seems long winded to me, open original file, convert original file, output another file, then output the file again in something else which then results in loss of quality and a larger file than the original? I'm ending up with lots of files, was hoping just to edit in Premiere then export/publish that edited clip and that would be it, then upload to the net.
Is it not possible to just edit my original footage and save it, just like you would with something like a word document, should I be using something else and not Premiere?
Thanks.

How can i take Better pictures from my Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V like DSLR?Kindly Best Settings...

How can i take Better pictures from my Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V like DSLR?Kindly Best Settings...

Taking better pictures on an HX9v isn't something you can just 'do'. It takes learning and creativity.
Understanding how the camera works, and having a good imagination to use it.
Look at phone cameras for example, amazing photos.
If you're talking about image quality, that is, less noise, crisp sharp photos, etc, compact cameras in general just won't match the DSLR.
If you're talking about photos that look stunning, again, learn how to use the camera, and be imaginative (creative)
I have a couple of articles to understand the basics to a camera (I really need to find the time to add more) on my website:
http://d3studio.com.au/
One thing I'm definitely lacking on there is composition, and that's something you can learn on YouTube - compositions in a photo is very important when you're first starting out.
Put your 9v onto M (manual) mode, and try out the different things - learn how the camera works, think about what you want to shoot, and then do it.
Good luck.

Best settings??

what are the best settings for importing if i am going to put library on video ipod AND burn greatest hits cd's from same library???

That question is a big can of worms. It really boils down to personal preference. If you plan/want to be to use non-ipod with some of your music files then you will want mp3. If you know that it will always be an ipod then I'd suggest aac. The bitrate is totally up to you and your ears. I have mine set at 192 aac.
Keep in mind that these formats are lossy. Which means some quality is lost when the song is compressed into that format. Burning a cd from here does not get that quality back.

Best settings for xtremegam

Is there any webpage that gives the best settings for each of the modes for specific purposes?
For example, I use the HD555s and I mostly play cs .6. What would be the best settings for .6? Especially for the best positional sound?

There's not that much to it, really. Just put it into 'Game' mode, turn the Crystalizer on if you like it (use 50% or you risk distortion), and enjoy. Having 'Game' mode enabled will let the card use EAX 5 whenever it's available, as well as fully accelerate the sound; the other modes stick on something like EAX 3.
There is CMSS, which manipulates the sounds to try and emulate how your ear affects the characteristics of sound coming from different directions (if you run a fast tap and listen to it with your head looking in different directions you should notice the pitch changes slightly -- CMSS tries to do this).
Only problem is that the CMSS technology isn't perfect, as everyone's ear is slightly different and your brain is used to how <i>your</i> ear changes the sound depending on direction. CMSS can only guess, so while it's close your brain may very well spot the imperfections and ruin the effect. Also, CMSS lowers sound quality which may be painful on your relati'vely high-end HD555 headphones. I choose to disable it.
One tip though, if you <i>don't</i> use CMSS then use two speaker mode rather than headphones. The headphone mode messes with the sound slightly (including the volume) but is more designed to make your bog standard cheap headphones sound good, rather than high-end ones that deli'ver speaker quality like yours.
Other than that, not much more to know. If you're feeling brave you could go to the Equalizer (EQ) and try dragging some of those sliders around. The left slider is the deepest sounds, and the right slider is the highest; the ones in-between obviously go from deep to high. I use this:
[img"]http://serve.ryanjohnwilliams.com/images/x_fi_equalizer.jpg">
It's best to work incrementally from the inside out, so start in the middle and then drag each slider up a little. Working up the right hand side will make the sound crisper, while the left hand side will bring out the explosions and gunshots. You could just use my settings and then perhaps tone some of them up/down to taste (since I use different headphones/speakers). EQ is essentially just a more complex bass/treble (or rather, bass/treble is a simplified EQ), but the added control can really let you get the card working perfectly with your headphones/speakers.

For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Best settings to export media to adobe media encoder

Hi I am after some help
what is the best settings to use to export footage to media encoder from premiere cs4 to adobe media encoder as a flash file.
at the moment media encoder continually stops after about 10 minutes with 30 or more minutes to go.
the footage is 3 mins long HDV and I have used after effects to key out the footage.
I have tryed flash 8 and higher with the bit rate set at 900
thanks Rodney

It's pretty easy. Once installed, the Cineform codec becomes available to any video program that accepts new codecs.
For handling HDV material Cineform products come with a program called HDLink with which you can batch-encode previously captured HDV .m2t, .mpeg, or .mov files OR capture straight to a Cineform-codec encoded .avi. The HDLink program also allows scene detection -unavailable when capturing HDV material in Premiere.
It also creates a preset in Adobe Media Encoder which, for me, came in useful when I had an h.264 .mov that would not convert in HDLink.
The more expensive Cineform products include an advanced rendering engine for Premiere which significantly improves handling of Cineform-codec material.

Best settings for 1080p 24fps footage

Hi all,
Shooting great stuff at 1080p 24fps with a Canon DSLR. My audio is 48 at 24bit. I am wondering what my best settings would be for:
1) Full size, full quality
2) A more manageable size (50%?) at full quality
I realize that the end use matters. I am shooting webisodes, so they will wind up on my own website as lightbox videos and eventually on sites such a YouTube.
Thanks!
Scott

It's about efficient and fast workflow, not about quality.
But, FYI, you can't see true video quality on your computer screen. Put it on a professional production monitor, and use video scopes to see a difference.
The image quality is not what is the issue here. It's file management. ProRes HQ makes a very large file size, stresses your system out more, and gives you no extra advantages. XDCAM is a Long-GOP codec, which stresses your system out more, but you keep small file sizes. ProRes 422 (or ProRes (LT)) will give you a good balance between the two, and help your CPU, data pipes, hard drives, RAM, etc handle the very taxing data flow of video streaming in RT that is desired for video editing.
Long-GOP formats will require more rendering (less RT performance), and when you do render, they will have to "conform", making things fie the Long-GOP frame structure again. When you export, it takes longer, due to the specific and complex arranging of specific types of frames in proper order due to the Long-GOP format. Compressor transcodes will take much longer to perform.
Again, it's about efficient and fast workflow, not about quality.

What are the best settings to make a DVD?

Hi!!!
I want to make a DVD. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. My video uses a image (i havent chosen the width x height yet because i do not know what is the best for picture quality on DVD, any advice?). I also use text which is made by clicking on Add Titles in Premiere Pro. Also i have a mp3 which plays throughout. (There is actually no moving video, just an image still, and the text I add which changes every few seconds)
My question is: For optimal picture and sound quality on DVD, what are the best settings to begin the project with? (i.e. PAL? HD?, etc). Second question is: For optimal picture and sound quality on DVD, what settings should i have when exporting? (i.e. Format: MPEG2? MPEG2-DVD? H.264? ect, Preset: 1440 x 1080i? PAL DV High Quality? etc)
Note: after exporting the file, i will send the master to a DVD duplicating company who will put the file onto DVD for me.
Many, many thanks!

To give you just a bit more background, for DVD-Video (well, if it's burned, it's officially DVD-ROM, but you get the picture), the Transcoding will be done to MPEG-2. For the best Audio, I would stick with PCM/WAV, which will be slightly larger, but with better fidelity. Note that with BD, you have some other choices, but fewer for DVD-Video. Also, even though MPEG Audio was optional in PAL-land, it is falling out of favor. The two choices are DD AC3 (a flavor of MPEG), and PCM/WAV, which will give you the best Audio.
With Adobe Dynamic Link, you do not need to be too concerned with the Transcoding yet. In Encore, you can choose the parameters for the Transcoding, or leave it set to Automatic and Encore will calculate the space on the disc, and come up with a very good Transcode setting. If you decide that you want to do those settings yourself, please spend some time on the Internet reading about "bit-budgeting." There are also 3rd party Transcoders, that some feel are superior to those used in the Adobe products. There are several recommendations in this forum. Again, you will want to study bit-budgeting first.
Good luck,

Which are the best settings for exporting comps before edditing in Premiere Pro

Hello everyone!
As the title says, which are the best settings for exporting comps from AE to Pr.Pro and then edit them?
Let me explain: I have two comps in AE (intro and outro) and want to export them in Pr.Pro for edditing along with a fottage i shot.
When i render them the size of the files are huge (30 sec= 7GB).
Which is the best method (and settings) i can export the intro and outro to a 'normal' file size and then put them in Pr.Pro without loosing any quality??
[Comp settings: HDTV 1080 29.97 (1920x1080)]
AE and Premiere Pro both CS4

If you're rendering and exporting an intermediate video file to go from After Effects to any other piece of post-production software (such as Premiere Pro), you want to make sure that you're not losing any quality.
Most compression methods, which make movies smaller, also lose some of the image data---i.e., quality. There are a few compression methods that don't lose any image data; these are "lossless" codecs. These lossless codecs do decrease the size of a video file, but they're nowhere near as effective at decreasing size as the lossy codecs are. But file size isn't important when you're doing post-production work. Big files are a fact of life in post-production.
Examples of lossless codecs include the PNG codec and the Animation codec at the highest quality settings, both of which can be used in a QuickTime (.mov) container. I prefer the PNG codec; it's more efficient for photorealistic images, whereas Animation is more efficient for things like cartoons. There are lots of other lossless and nearly lossless codecs. A lot of people that do video editing like the Lagarith codec, but that is something that you'd have to go and get; it's not part of a standard CS5 or QuickTime installation.
See these FAQ entries for information about compression and why file sizes are big for losslessly encoded files:
"FAQ: Why is my output file huge...?"
"FAQ: What is the best format for rendering and exporting from After Effects?"
By the way, keep in mind that you don't always need to render and export an intermediate movie to go from After Effects to Premiere Pro. There are other ways to move data back and forth between these applications, including Dynamic Link. Which is best depends on the specific circumstance. See "Working with Premiere Pro and After Effects".
