Bit Rate settings for compressing to iPhone

Hello-
I have Compressor 3.05 and I'd like to use a bit-rate setting that is not available in the Apple-provided iPhone presets. I'm looking for something around 150. Is there a way to create a custom preset for iPhone compatible video? I can't seem to figure this out.
Thanks,
Mark

Yes there is!
*Step 1:* Create a preset will all the other settings how you want them. In my case I started with File Format: H.264 for Apple Devices, Device: iPhone (Local/Wifi) Drag the data rate down as low as it will go (700Kbps). Save it as a new custom setting.
*Step 2:* Those are stored in User>Library>Application Support>Compressor open the preset you just created (it will have the same name) in a text editor, I used TextWrangler. Find the second <data-rate> (the first one is for audio) the number in there should be 87500. Lower that number to the desired amount.
*Step 3:* Save the file. Go back into Compressor and then apply it to your source video.
That should do it!

Bit rate standards for Compressing video for Captivate

I have been trying to decide whether rto use constant bit rate or a variable bit rate when compressing my video to embed in Captivate.
I have been told by Connect support that a constant bit rate is better for deploying video in Presenter but I am wondering if anyone has information as whether that is also true for Captivate. We are using captive as a means to offer a series of video question and answer sequence for a client of ours, and I am interested in getting the best quality with the smoothest performance in a progressive download flv format
For a simple talking head I am tempted to use a variable bit rate but, I cannot find anything in the seaces I have made that talk about the spec or any pros an cons to that quetsion for Captivate.
Doee anyone have any expereince with that?

I have always used constant bitrate for videos imported into Captivate and that has worked fine. However, I never tried using variable bit rate so I don't know if it will work better or worse.
My guess is that it would be better to go with constant bitrate though because Captivate do have some funny issues with FLV's sometimes and it's probably better not to "stress" captivate ;o)

What are the best data and bit rate setting for uploading from final cut express to Youtube?

Can anyone suggest the best data rate and bit rate presets for uploading footage from final cut express 4 to Youtube? What settings will provide the best resolution, quality, and match the current youtube requirements?
Thank you in advance for your help,
Susan Kayne

It depends on whether you are using aspect ratios of 4:3 or 16:9.
Below is some simple guidance that will provide good quality with reasonably small file sizes.
The first part is for 4:3 video:-
1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it to YouTube.
If you are making 16:9 video (Standard or High Definition) do steps 1 to 3 above.
Then when you have selected "LAN/Intranet" press the "Options" button and in the new
window that opens press the "Size" button and change the "640x480" to "853x480"
To do this you will have to click on the 640x480 and a dropdown menu appears.
Select "Custom" from the bottom of the menu and in the window that opens
you will see 2 boxes.
Put 853 in the first box and 480 in the second.
Click OK.
Then Save it.

In the iPhone, please explain the requirements in settings for Apple id, iPhone and iCloud

You can use 1 unified Apple ID for iTunes so you don't have to repurchase apps. That part is fine.
For iCLoud/iMessage/Facetime you should each have a unique ID so the 2 phones will be separate and you won't accidentally erase each other's content and overwrite settings, nor will you get the others messaages by mistake.

Constant Bit Rate CBR for HD

Why is there no option for HD MPEG-2 streams with a constant bit rate (CBR)? This is standard across broadcast formats, so why no option? And why no answers to this question? It's been asked for some time here.

Email - settings for gmail on iphone; Gmail or Exchange?? what's the dif??

hey there, can anyone itemize the differences between using Exchange for GMail, versus just using the GMAIL setup for email on the iphone4?
In the past i have had IMAP and GMAIL, and the single exchange.. NOW I am using exchange for access to all my gmail accounts. why should I use the GMAIL settings, instead of Exchange? for my gmail activity?
thanks

Thank you for your help.
I've read in numerous places that Safari should play .mp4 files fine and many of the iPhone presets output .mp4 files. In general, I've read, including at Apple's website, to enode using H.264 MPEG4 part 10, AAC audio, etc. I have tried creating custom presets and different subsettings, such as bitrate, frames, etc.
I cannot get anything to work correctly when trying to view the video using Safari on iPhone or iPad.
Anyone else know of any specific settings that will work?

Best settings for export to iphone?

Hello, I wonder if anyone has found the best way of doing this, I couldn't find any recommendations on the apple site.
I'm editing HDV PAL, should I resize in FCP before export or let compressor do all the resizing?
Should I deinterlace?
Square pixels?
I tried exporting a 16:9 vid at 640x360 and it automatically cropped it when played on an iphone until I double-tapped the screen. Is there anyway to avoid this
Thanks for any help.

Using the iphone export settings in compressor, I can't get a minute of footage to be less than 8 megs. The QVGA setting is bad quality, the VGA setting is a large file, even after dropping the bitrate down. If i export the same file as an H.264 through compressor the file size is tiny. What is the iphone preset adding that makes it so massive?

Preset or settings for video on iPhone 4?

Hello, I've been trying every preset in AME that I can find that's related to iPhone. No matter what I use, the output video will not play on my iPhone 4 (or iPhone 4s or iPad 2 for that matter).
Can anyone tell me exactly what Preset and settings I need to select in order to produce a .mp4 video that will actually play on my iPhone 4? On my example webpage, I'm using the HTML video element. In Safari on my iPhone, I see a black box where the video should be, and a play button with a slash through it.
I've read numerous articles and searched forever regarding how to make a video that will actually work. I've seen repeatedly info about using MPEG-4, AAC, etc. I've tried creating my own custom presets and all of the ones in AME that I can find. I just can't seem to get anything to work!
Please help!

Best Presets and Export Settings for GoPro and Iphone Footage?

Is there a good preset that will handle Iphone 4/4s/5 video footage (720P on the 4 and 1080P on the 4S/5), and My GoPro HD Hero2? I typically record on the GoPro in 1080 30FPs, or 720P 60FPS. I generally produce videos with both types of footage.
What about exporting the footage? I prefer max quality. I store files on PC, and typically upload to youtube ( I have no restrictions to length or size on YT)
Using Adobe Premiere Elements 10 W7 64bit, 8GB RAM, I7, NVS4200M, etc.
Thanks

APN settings for KDDI Japan iPhone 4S

Does anyone know what APN settings iPhone 4S from KDDI in Japan uses? They seem to have 2 different data plans, Simple plan Z and Plan F, but the iOS version is locked and these details are not shown directly to enduser as in unlocked models.

were you able to figure this out? I would like to know this too. Thanks

Quartz filter settings for compressing pdf file

I have used the nominal quartz filter setting (reduce file size) to compress pdf file. It reduced the file
size significantly--but the text resolution was considerably blurred.
What is an appropriate setting to reduce pdf file size and not destroy the test resolution ?

See if this helps...

Export Settings - Minimum Bit Rate Question (MPEG2-DVD)

Hi,
Curious...just came over recently from FCP and I don't remember Compressor giving me an option to adjust the MINIMUM bit rate when exporting HD projects for DVD. I figured I'd just leave it where the preset has it (at 2.8mbps minimum)...BUT...then I hovered over it and saw an interesting popup/explanation of what it does which kind of confuses me. It says:
Higher values set a higher minimum quality, but reduce quality of more difficult scenes.
The first part makes sense so I figured I'd raise it...but then the second part makes me think I should keep it low. Sort of confuses me. Any thoughts??? FYI: My projects are Weddings with a fair amount of action, etc.
Normally, these are my settings depending unless I can't fit the project onto the disc in which case I adjust:
DVD
CBR at 7.5mbps
...or...
VBR 2pass
Target Bit Rate: About 6.8 or 7mbps
Max Bit Rate: Usually 8mbps
BLURAY
VBR 2pass
Target Bit Rate: 25mbps
Max Bit Rate: 30mbps
Unless someone tells me that I should raise these settings higher for better quality output (if the project size allows of course) these are what I've been using to get maximum quality out of my videos without jepordizing playback due to bit rate max for each media (which I think I read was 10mb and 40 or 50mbps respectively. I was just thrown by the minimum bit rate description above.
Thank you in advance for your help!

The whole notion of a minimum bitrate is crazy unless you have specific broadcast requirements that require you to pad out video to keep the connection alive.
If the encoder can express the image with zero loss in less than the minimum bitrate why would you pad it with zeros to get the bitrate high enough to meet the min?
The idea of a nominal/average bitrate is easy to understand.
The Maximum bitrate is often misunderstood though.
On some encoders the max rate sets the wiggle room (max - average) that can be used if there is a burst of required information.
On other encoders it sets the maximum rate at which the video buffer is allowed to fill as per the specifications. eg Blu-ray is capped at 40Mbps. The Video encode itself MAY EXCEED THAT 40Mbps for a split second but will only LOAD into the video buffer at up to 40Mbps.
For example, if you set constant bitrate at 20Mbps and no Maximum rate when the video first starts loading from the blu-ray disc to the video buffer it loads faster than the blu-ray maximum of 40Mbps. Thus you MUST have a maximum rate defined (for blu-ray compliance) even though it's a constant bitrate. Some encoders do this for you but some leave it up to the user to get right (and thus should provide a max slider and constant slider to set both).
Jeff- absolutely agree. It's very rare that you need to use all 40Mbps available to you. 20 and 30 can look great (depending on the detail in the sceen and how much motion there is).
VBR 2-pass does have value if you're trying to get down to lower rates like 10Mbps to fit a long title on a disc. If you don't action shots with sceen cuts will leave artifacts as they are bit starved.
I'm actually a big fan of Constant _Quality_ (CQ) vs CBR or VBR. You then know what quality you're going to get on every frame and from experience will know how big it will come out to be. CQ is also considerably faster to render because you have no rate control computations to do. x264pro has a CQ option for this very reason.
hope that helps.

MuVo N200: recording fidelity and bit-rate for podcasts

Hi,
My plan is to use my MuVo N200 for recording podcasts--I'm wondering what the fidelity and bit rate is for the line-in recording capability.
Is it 64k bps? Something else?
Any one else using the line in?
Thanks,
Larry
