Best video file type to export for iPod?

Am using Premiere to edit movies, and was wondering what is best file format to export for eventual iPod conversion to get the best quality?

I am not familiar with Premiere, but below are the limits which are supported:
H.264 video up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 KHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
H.264 will give the best quality and smallest file sizes, but the price of this is time, H.264 conversion is time consuming as it is very processor intense.

  • Best video file type to convert for Apple TV???

    I just got the Apple TV and love it, but I have a ton of AVI's and whatnot that obviously won't play.  What would you all recommend is the best thing to do with them?  I have converting software, but want to choose the right file type that will not make it 2-3X the size.  Appreciate tips!!!!

    Old thread for others, but,,... It isnt necessary to convert a bunch of files, if you have Plex on your pc, and on your iphone/ipad.
    I would have spent a month converting the terra bytes of all the video files that I had but i just airplay and my Plex app to send nearly any type of file on my Imac directly to my Apple tv.
    It converts on the fly any file that isnt supported.

  • What Video file type is required for upload to Captivate 8?  I have uploaded an .mp4 video to my slide and the HTML5 tracker indicates that the slide/object is unsupported

    Need help asap on this question - does this need to be an .FLV file?  There seems to be a lot of conflicting information on this.

    Hi
    I am using a MAC
    Captivate 8.0.1.242
    Multi-slide synchronized so I can set the slide timing to accommodate length of video
    The problem is specifically with .flv video files when publishing a responsive project or even trying to play the slide.  The video encoder pops up trying to convert the file to .mp4 for output but does not work.  My understanding is that the ONLY video file type I can use for responsive projects is .flv
    Is this correct?

  • Best Video File Type For iTunes and Xbox360

    I have an extensive digital library and I am trying to have one file for all devices.
    What I am looking to do is to have one file that can be managed by iTunes, play on my iPhone and stream to my xbox360 via Connect360 and look good. File size is not a concern. I dont want to do multiple encodes.
    The important features are one file playable by iPhone and Xbox360 via Connect360 that can be managed by iTunes. I would like the video to be of very high visual / audio quality.
    I use handbrake to convert video files.
    My question is, what is the best file type for this scenario? I have used mv4 but more recently I am using MP4 with 264...
    Again, one file to rule them all....
    Thank you in advance!

  • Best video file format to email for use in imovie09

    Does anyone know which video file format is best to send by email so as to be able to then use the file in imovie09. For a business project, I have to request short videos to be emailed to me from a variety of individuals, and then I will put them together as an imovie project. Should Youtube be avoided as a source ? Thanks.

    Emailing video can be a real drama.
    You can easily convert YouTube video if you have the free software MPEG Streamclip: http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Download version 1.9.3b4 and install in your applications.
    Open then File > Open URL and copy/paste the YT clip address.
    Then File > Export to QuickTime and select Apple Intermediate Codec for the compression.
    The converted file will import into iMovie.

  • Not sure about derviatives, file types, and export for lightroom

    hello:
    I am a new LR user and new to the DAM process. I am confused about something that is probably basic and fundamental to this process. My computer setup is two internal drives (working drive and a photo archive), as well as external backup and burning to dvd. Using LR for both image adjustment and catalog management (not using Photoshop).  For raw I will be converting to dng on ingestion. I will add bulk metadata on ingestion and then bring images into LR to rate images and make basic image adjustments. These images will then be archived as originals.
    Now, if I perform additional work on any of these archived images (addl. image adjustment or metadata) would these images be considered derviatives?  If so, would I then go to export in LR to add to file name (e.g., masterfile, master.dng or .tif) before sending to, for instance, a working derviative folder before sending off to the archive?
    Also, if I am sending these images to archive, but not sending out for email or web, do I need to change the dng to another file type (e.g., tif)?
    Lastly, I have some old jpegs on media cards that I want to put through this process. Is there anything special that I need to do in handling these images versus dealing with raw?
    I have read the DAM book as well as reading through various online resources, but this whole process is quite confusing for a beginner.
    Please respond anytime.
    Thanks
    joe.

    Lightroom is a non-destructive editor. This may be different than anything you have used in the past.
    With non-destructive editors, there is no concept of original and derivative (unless you choose to use a 2nd program like Photoshop, sounds like you're not planning to do that). With a non-destructive editor, you make your changes in the editor (Develop Module), and these instructions are stored by Lightroom as a "recipe" and not as a distinct file on your hard disk. These instructions about your edits are applied whenever you use Lightroom to view your image (or whenever you choose to print from Lightroom or make a slidesehow from LR or make a web page from LR). The original is completely unchanged, and there is no edited derivative photo exported or saved. Thus, there is no need to segregate original and edited photo, because there is no saved edited photo. Additional edits in Lightroom are handled the same, original is unchanged, your edits are stored, and there is no derivative or saved photo.
    The only time you would save a copy of the photo is if you wanted a copy for some non-Lightroom purpose, in which case you use File->Export... to make a file on disk in a "temporary" folder, then you use the file created in whatever non-Lightroom purpose you have, and when completed, you can delete the file in the temporary folder, knowing that LR can re-create it exactly if you ever need it again. If you are going to print from LR, or e-mail from LR, or create a web page from LR, or create a slideshow from LR, you do not need to create an exported photo.
    JPGs and RAWs and DNGs are all handled the same by you, the user. Yes, there is internal differences that aren't important to your workflow.

  • Needs to support additional video file types.

    I would like to see LR 4 support additionals video file types. I have CS5 Premiere Pro and use this to capture video from a Sony HDR-HC7. PP 5 captures video from camara in mpeg format that LR 4 is not surporting.
    I would like LR 4 to suport the capture formats of CS5 Premiere Pro.

    You should put a feature request in the official forum.
    For the moment I find over there just one idea, which asks for less than you want:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/viewing_dv_files_in_lightroom_4
    So if you open your idea over there and post the link here, you get broader notice and hence more votes to support it.

  • What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

    What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

    Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.

  • Float4() causes "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player

    Simple test
    <languageVersion : 1.0;>
    kernel untitled
    <   namespace : "Your Namespace";
        vendor : "Your Vendor";
        version : 1;
    >
        input image4 src;
        output pixel4 dst;
        void
        evaluatePixel()
            dst = float4(sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));
    The above code will produce a "error saving Pixel Bender Byte Code file" error when exporting for flash player in Pixel Bender Toolkit 2.5.449694.
    "dst = (sampleNearest(src, outCoord()));" works fine. And anything like "float4 a= float4(b);" will give same error.

    Thank you for the error report.  I'll put it into our bug database.  We're bottling things up for the current version.  Gven the workaround, it is unlikely we'll be addressing this bug soon.  Please accept my apologies for the annoyance this will cause.
    In your second example, float4 a = float4(b), does it return an error if b is only a float4 or regardless of what b is?  If b is a scalar float, for example, is the conversion performed correctly? If so, this could be an error that only crops up when using constructor/conversion syntax when the thing being converted is already the correct type.
    Thanks,
    Chuck.

    Hi Mazdauk, To convert ASF to AVI, I recommend you the iorgsoft video converter which I have been using. It claims to support ASF as input and AVI as output. Anyway, I haven't converted ASF to AVI, most of the time, I convert MTS to MP4. You can have a try first.

  • What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2008 Mac Pro?

    What is the best Video Card I can get for an Early 2009 Mac Pro3,1?

    A 3,1 is "Early 2008" with DDR2 FBDIMMs, Intel 54xx Harpertown, and not 2009 Nehalem with DDR3.
    http://www.barefeats.com bench tests. A 3,1 does not improve as much due to its old PCIe 2.0 implementation for one thing.
    "Best" is hugely subjective. For what? cost versus performance and whether you need CUDA support or AMD - dual AMD's for FCP-X for instance.
    I think GTX 970 right now is close to "best".
