Built-in support for web streaming camera?

Hi,
I have a Sony MiniDV camcorder that supports web streaming.
Is there any built-in software support for web streaming?
If not, could someone please recommend software that will allow me to setup my camera in my house and view the streamed data over the internet?
Thanks!!
BT

You can download Quicktime broadcaster for free to do this. See http://www.apple.com/quicktime/broadcaster/
We've used it to stream a live event from an art gallery and then to a Quicktime Streaming Server (available free in the Darwin version) to broadcast to the world.

HD or SD Camera for web streaming application

Looking to buy a couple of cameras (and FCE) purely for creating video for web streaming.
Given the video will be highly compressed for streaming, is there any benefit in going HD over SD?
With thanks
Bob

CosmoPod downloads the original file format (which can be retained), then converts to either MPEG4 or H264 (Best or Better). The file conversion is dependent on your Preference settings.
For functional purposes, CosmoPod places a Tool Icon on your Toolbar. Plus, the download/preference panel can be accessed via the Window menu. Videos can be directed to a Download location, or directly to iTunes.
Whether or not a file can be downloaded depends on file accessibility permissions on the provider's end. Trial version gives you 5 days/10 videos, which ought to give you a sense of whether it serves your purposes.

Exporting for Web Streaming...

Hello - what are the best specs to export a file for Web Streaming? My client gave me the specs of 640x320, and it's too stretched. Also, would it be in Sorenson? MPEG-4? Something else? Thanks so much!

But H.264, good to know that that's the 'standard' setting for Web Streaming... ,
There are no standards for Web streaming. None. H.264 is a convenient place to start but only because Flash will see it and Microsoft's latest products sometimes do.
Streaming is often confused with but can be wildly different from unicast, multicast, download, and live viewing.

Hello Alex,
I don't have an answer for you.
But, can you try to use http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/Content/anonymous.f4v with locally hosted OSMF player? This content doens't require user/pass info.
I'm wondering that Google TV's flash player doesn't support prompt dialog.
http://drmtest2.adobe.com/AccessPlayer/player.html requires flash player 11. That's why it won't be loaded with flash player 10.x.
Thanks,

Ni-imaq for 1394 camera support for sony dv cameras

Hello,
I am wondering if there is any way to capture images from my sony mini dv recorder (DCR-PC101 NTSC) to Labview. Is it possible through ni-imaq for 1394?
Thank You.

Hi charliec,
Support for mini dv cameras is not currently available with the IMAQ 1394 driver. The only way to access the files captured by the camera are to download them to disk then open them with LabVIEW (or some other programming environment).

Does Websphere(WAS) V3.5 has support for web services ??

Hi all,
Please let me know whether Websphere Application Server V3.5 supports Web Services. If any one has used it for V3.5 then please let me know.
Thanks
-Satyendra

I suppose not, as out of the box.
If you look into the classpath and the lib directories, there are no traces of any support for Web-Services.
However, you can set up the environment to do so, It seems to be easy to handle.
Cheers, and keep posting your progress.

Does OS 9 have built in support for external Iomega Zip drives?

Hi,
Does OS 9.x have built-in support for external SCSI Iomega Zip drives?

Yeah, you are correct, but Iomega's drivers & APPs were one really destabilizing factor for OS9, as well as ruining a few ZIP Disks with that Death Head crash, and being a nuisance. Intech's drivers gave twice the R&W speed, never failed, never crashed, could Format & Partition them... also worked for MOs, JAZZ, SyJets, other Syquests from 44MB to 550MB, and any other drive regardless of IDE, SCSI, FW, USB.

Do we have a built-in option for web based tool in Nexus 5548UP switches for management purpose?

I have purchased Nexus 5548UP switch, i want to know if we have a built-in option for web based tool to manage and configur it just as ASA have ASDM. If there is no such options then what are the options available that can be freely available and can be used to get performance monitoring done.

DCNM (Data Center Network Manager) runs on a server (Windows, RHEL or Solaris) and can be used to manage Nexus devices. It's free for Nexus 1K through 5K devices (paid license required for Nexus 7K management).

There is not a "built-in" management product like ASDM for ASA.

Can anyone help me with compressions for web streaming? So lost!

Hi there
I am so confused !
I have the task of getting HD footage from my camcorder ready for quality web-streaming on a website. The clips need to be in mp4 format using the H264 codec. As we are dealing with HD footage, I want the viewer to be very happy with the picture quality. I must admit that most of my compression settings were kind of guess work and I was only judging my results by the final file size in relation to the video quality. I was getting file sizes of about 16mb per minute of video/ audio footage.
I had been keeping my frame size at 1280x720 and my bit rates were about 2000-2500kbits/s. Bandwidth is a real concern as there will be alot of people streaming these videos and there might be over a hundred videos on offer at any one time. I found that bit rates any less than this were resulting in a poor picture quality.
I have since learnt that what I was doing is completely wrong!
I was told that my frame size was way too big for normal web-streaming of HD footage and also that my bit rate was too high and bandwidth hungry. I never knew that the bit rates I set when compressing my videos would have an effect on the bandwidth that would be used. I am obviously showing my ignorance!
If anyone has anytime to help out someone who has no idea, I would absolutely love to know the answers to these questions:
1. What is considered a good acceptable frame size to show HD quality footage? Maybe a size that if the quality is OK, they can also stretch the frame afterwards to fill their screen without losing too much quality?
2. I want to use mp4 with the H264 codec for streaming, what is an efficient bit rate to set the compression at, so that the quality looks nice, but wont drain my bandwidth unnecessarily?
3. Can anyone explain how the bit rates that I set for my compressions affect the way they are downloaded once they are on a website. Just cant get my head around this logic for some reason?
4. What other compression settings should I be aware of (eg. keyframes etc)
I feel so lost in all of this and would appreciate it tremendously if anyone can help me out.
Dan

If I select a bit rate of say 2500 to compress my videos at, what will that now mean for the end user? Will that mean that his connection will be forced to download that video at 2500kbp/s thus using alot more bandwidth?
Yes and no. If the end user has a connection that allows them to receive data at 2500 and the source from the web can supply data at that speed then they'll be able to stream in real time. However, if either end doesn't hold up (the client's connection can't receive data that fast or the source can't send it) then end users will be forced to watch it on delay - letting a good portion of the movie download first. QuickTime will do this anyway - if you (as I do) embed a movie into a webpage, when you visit that page QuickTime will calculate how fast data is being sent and received, and decide when to start the movie based on that calculation.
I was told that the bit rate I set when I compress these files locally on my machine, tell the streaming software how to allow users to download them - is that true or have I got all mixed up?
You keep saying streaming and I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Streaming can either mean having a finished file on the web that people can watch with minimal downloading in advance, or streaming can mean sending a live event out over the web. I think you mean the first. In that case, there is no streaming software on the server side - it's just a file that gets sent to a client just like any other file. The bitrate however does tell the client software, like QuickTime player when to start playing the movie (As I alluded to above).
If you really want to "stream" content - in other words allow people to go to page and start watching then I'm going to suggest you distribute in multiple formats. QuickTime has a number of presets you can use for "streaming", and these are usually small (320*240 or 640*480) videos that are under 1 Mbps (often less than 500 kbps). These files can normally be watched in real time by most clients.
The other catch with the route you're going is that some computers simply can't handle 720p content that is encoded in h.264 - they just don't have the power. If you look at podcasters many of them have chosen to go multiple formats in part for this reason - they have video embedded on their websites for watching in real time, small iPod formats for lower-power computers and iPods, and HD formats for platforms like the Apple TV that offer the best quality.

Binary file support for web application in 10.3?

There is such paragraph in Release notes for Flash Player 10.3:
Binary file support
Add more power to your web application with direct byte access to binary data. Control and access data in new ways, such as adding support for new file and data types or manipulating sound data in real time to create new sound effects.
Does anyone know what do they mean by this exactly?

Real programmers do it in binary!! ;-)

CS5.1 support for new DSLR cameras (D600)

I would like to understand the business decission (if there is any) why Adobe decided that for new DSLR cameras support they will update only the Camera Raw version for the current release CS6 and not respecting the legacy for the n-1 release (updating the Camera raw for CS5.1). This is a serious concern and disapointment. Does it means that each time Adrobe has a new release , if i chnage the DLSR i am FORCED to upgrade and pay 190$ eventhus I do not need the new release features?

Ah, thanks guys - I am very very happy to eat crow on that one!
The actual point of my post was to make me feel better, and boy did it work! I did not expect any actual relief, so actually now the post is twice is good as I thought - I was actually wrong!
Anyway, I might mention (I didn't get into all the details) that I actually canceled the order for the d800e (the "e" version was backordered until just recently), as the d600 was just announced as my order was about to process.
So actually I am in the same bad situation as the previous poster, but maybe now I will go back to the d800 - saving a $450 upgrade to CS6 actually saves half the difference in price between the cameras.
And sorry for the rant on the 2 analogies. It was not a troll. I vaguely remember in my research that Lightbox comes with ACR, is that true? Lightbox doesn't come with CS5.5 MC, but I wonder if i were to buy it ($99??) that'll give me the latest ACR that supports the d600, and problem solved. I assume once i have the latest ACR it'll let me open straight into PS and not make me go through Lightbox and then PS?
Anyway, if that is correct, that would be a much better answer to the original poster (and it saves him $100). Other good answers (if this Lightbox hack won't work), might be:
"It's an incredible amount of work to support nearly every camera and lens ever made in ACR, so even though it comes free with your software, you don't get free updates once your software moves to a new version."
or
"The d600 began shipping nearly immediately upon announcement, and it takes a while to update the software." (perhaps the responder didn't realize it, but this was the situation with the d600.)
But the car-story and "if you can afford a new camera, you can afford to pay adobe" were pretty tragic answers - someone needed to call you on it, or you would have only served to upset the original poster.
Ha, PEBKAC, that is pretty good. Not very easy to pronounce, though.
I must say my last dozen interactions with adobe have all been negative, except this one, so maybe things are turning a new leaf. You're lucky I didn't get into the story of when my HD crashed, and I had to call Adobe to re-activate my old CS4 PS. It's awesome getting literally laughed at by the activation help desk person. (I had owned the software for 3 years at that point, and had only ever activated it once.) ...who just assumed I was lying. "here now let me tell you how to deactivate the old version" "the HD is dead, it ain't going to happen" "well let me show you again, because you need to do that..."
Oops, I did get into that story, didn't I?
Best,

Color managed workflow for web and camera raw

I recently calibrated my monitor and was wondering what is the preferred workflow for the web? I shoot with my camera in sRGB and my working space in Photoshop is sRGB aswell. The problem that has arised now is that the color managed colors in Photoshop are way different than the non-color managed in my web browser. Is this normal? And what I don't quite get is how a photo that has an embed sRGB profile looks the same in Firefox (that understand embed profiles) and Photoshop, but in Google Chrome (that does not recognize embed color profiles) shows the colors very differently, although the browser should understand the photo is in sRGB by default and show the same colors that are in Photoshop, right? So what happens here, because the colors are not the same? What information does Photoshop assign to the embed color profile that makes the colors so different?
Anyway, I assume the problem here seems to be my newly calibrated monitor profile. The only way I can get the same colors to my photo in Photoshop and to a photo in web is to use soft proofing set to my Monitor RGB AND save without a color profile. Is this the way to go? But here comes another problem. I shoot in RAW and use camera raw to edit my photos. Camera Raw doesn't allow soft proofing, so I'm stuck with these color managed colors that are so different from non-color managed colors I get in my browser that any color correction in Camera Raw is simply useless. Unless everyone was using color managed browsers and I could start to use fully color managed workflow, but that's not the case I suppose. So, what's the solution here?

First off, you need to be working in sRGB, or converting to sRGB when you save out files that are destined for the web. You can change the color space that Camera Raw (ACR) send your raw files to by clicking the blue text in the bottom center of the ACR window. This is probably that safest workflow for you until you get a handle on color management. If the color of your images is very important, you might consider embedding a color profile in them, which will help color managed browsers render your color properly.
If your display's color gamut is different than sRGB (many are), you'll find matching colors for non-color-managed browsers to be impossible. But consider the average display and take heart. The best you can do is correct to a standard and hope for the best.
Both the convert to sRGB and embed color profile options are in the save for web dialogue box.

Best settings for web streaming

I made an 11 minute film in imovie. I want to put it on my website. I am told that loading it into Quicktime Pro, and then exporting it will give me lots of choices for settings, to optimize the quality and the speed for web viewing. A friend told me to use mp4 at 30 frame at 640 X 480 for acceptable quality. Youtube seems to agree with that. Unfortunately, The resultant quicktime export was a 74 mB file. That seems awfully large for the web. I also tried saving it directly from imovie as an "email", which doesn't allow any tweaking, and that version was 18 mB, and a bit small for web viewing.
This morning, I've looked through many posts here, but I can't find one place that gives clear opinions for settings for streaming video over the web. I realize there's a lot of choices, so opinions will differ. Nonethless, , but I'd really be happy to have just two or three choices, with all the Quicktime Pro settings spelled out for me. Can someone do that?
And lastly, what size — both file size and screen size — should I be using for this 11 minute web viewable film?

I have a similar problem with excessively large files resulting from use of the "export for web" function.
I have a range of self-contained quicktime movies averaging about 20MB in size. They are all encoded in MPEG4 or H264.
Exporting for "desktop" results in some files being over 75MB in size.

Flex/ActionScript3 support for web services using WS-Security

Does Flex/ActionScript3 have support for connecting to a web
service using WS-Security (Policy Creation). I've tried using the
Flex Data Service "Import WSDL" method and it does not allow me to
connect. Is there Flex/AS3 package that can handle creating the
Policy information for a web service that utilizies WS-Security?
Thanks,
Tom

quote:

Yes and no. The "Import WSDL" doesn't create AS3 classes that
allow header injection of the appropriate WS-Security elements.
I've managed to work around this using straight mx:webservice tags
and AS3. There is an open bug at
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-15398
that I voted on, the more the merrier.
http://www.jroller.com/wookets/entry/ws_security_in_flex
Has a useful class for creating the soap header elements for a
username token,
In general though, it's been a challenge to get the simplest
of WS-Security pieces working.
