Capture Settings Ideal for SD DVDs and flash, coming from HDV to save time?

Hello, I have 14 hours of HDV footage shot at 60i, using my Canon xha1. I need to create footage which will be put into a standard dvd and most importantly, be put online as relatively small files.
My questions is, what would be the best capture preset to minimize file size as well as maintain quality good enough for nice flash video?
I usually go with the HDV-Apple ProRes 422 and sequence preset Apple ProRes 1440x1080 60i.
Should I stick with this set up, and just deal with the huge rendering and export times? Or are there any settings ideal for my needs to make everything easier right from the beginning?
Thanks,
Erik

Don't reduce the quality of your footage before you have even started to work on it.
What you should do is edit in ProRes and complete your project in that format.
You would then export a master file of the finished piece and generate your deliverables from it.
A DVD uses MPEG 2 video and ac3 audio files. Those are made in Compressor and imported into a DVD authoring application such as DVD Studio Pro.

    After installing Adobe Flash Builder 4 needed install AIR? Adobe Flex 4 SDK IS ALREADY INCLUDED?
    Adobe Flash Builder 4 licence is for one desktop and one laptop, only one at a time run or...?

    hi,
    Flashbuilder has the ability to create and run Air content from the IDE, to actually usean Air App outside of the IDE you need to install Air.
    Flashbuilder install includes 2 sdks, the 3.5 sdk for 'backward' compatibility with Flexbuilder and for targeting flashplayer 9, the 4.x SDK for Flashbuilder and  targetting flashplayer 10.0 and above.
    As far as fair use is concerned Adobe have had fair use software licensing for a while, single user 2 devices is not a problem, what is not clear is if you can use the software on both devices at the same time.

  • Elitebook 2540p: Faint sound and static coming from speakers...Need Help!

    I am having issues with my new 2540P. I can hear faint sound and static coming from my speakers as well as my headphones when I plug into the jack.  I first started having this issue when I plugged additional speakers into the jack and USB while talking on Skype..
    I am running Win7. I tried troubleshooting drivers and hardware, disabling and enabling, and a system restore going back one day...but no luck. When I disable the speakers, I stopped hearing even the faint sound. I also tried plugging and unplugging the jack 20 times. 
    Is it possible that this is a hardware failure (jack and/or sound card)?
    Does anyone have other suggestions?

    I am running XP and have same problem.  Sound now gone after "pop".  Customer services suggests hardware failure and send back to factory.  Flashing BIOS and updating IDT audio driver will not fix the problem.
    Possible speaker failure or audio chip failure.

    There is no built-in setting for redirecting a bookmark to a new tab.
    Is it possible that the computer which does that has an add-on such as the Tab Mix Plus extension installed? TMP has a setting for that (Events > Tab Opening).

  • Import settings needed for importing AVI and DVD into a DV project (FCE)

    I'm new to FCE but have come from an Adobe Premiere background and I'm struggling a bit as I have a project that is half complete and I have exported from (windows) Premiere as an AVI (which I know I will have to put through Streamclip - btw couldn't export to quicktime for some reason).The rest will be mainly from DV camera and a small amount ripped from DVD using Aimersoft's dvd ripper. The problem is that I am trying to put it all in the same format so that the project runs smoothly but also keeping the number of conversions to a minimum. I am having trouble matching them all up and am using DV Pal as my main format.
    I have 3 main queries:
    1) When I import from DV camera it appears to convert it to a .MOV format (it lists that as a quicktime movie) using a DVC-PAL Codec, is this right?
    2) I have imported my half complete AVI project through streamclip as a DV (DV25) PAL 720x576 16:9 clip but it needs rendering (it does play on the canvas though)...is there something I've missed?
    3) I am trying to import the dvd parts through Aimersoft DVD Ripper and there seems to be no option for DV Pal. Do I need to import into another format and then use streamclip (once I get it working properly)? Or should I use another compatible app?
    I have looked at handbrake but this seems to not support any of my needs for now. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for your help. I do have a few more queries if anyone can help. I've overcome the issue of transferring mid project by writing the project back to tape which seems to work well. I am having a problem importing from DVD now though using streamclip, I have imported it to the MAC no problem at all. However the project is a DV (PAL) Anamorphic project and despite importing the dvd at 720X576 (Unscaled and DVPAL settings both at 4:3 and 16:9) the clips still need rendering. I have further tapes to import which are anamorphic so need to keep the project settings as they are. I feel I am so near yet so far!

  • What do the "Automatic" settings do for Frame size and Frame rate in Compressor 4.1.1?

    Can anyone tell me, very specifically and with technical detail, what the "Automatic" settings do (in Compressor 4.1.1) for the following setting attributes: (1) Frame size and (2) Frame rate
    Thank you!

    Hi, in addition to Russ's advice for the VIDEO PROPERTIES in the Inspector, you might consider the "automatic" options being proposed by compressor.app V4.1.x as OPTIMAL for the destination codec you have specified that deviate (or differ in some way) form the MASTER (source) from where your are transcoding. There's no real TECHNICAL detail. These UI values simply are passed as parameters to the codec. The image/audio results can be PREVIEWed ofcourse in the compressor.app V4.1.x UI (Current PAne) ... us the slider and the timeline to determine final taste!
    Suggested Examples may include:
    REDUCED frame rate for a slower device or stream or bit rate or destination dleivery platform
    reduced bit rate for older devices
    smaller FRAME SIZE for say SD devices specified
    INCREASED frame size with added "padding" in a situation like LETTERBOXING (4:3 in a 17:9 for example.. may others)
    ye old PAL to NTSC conversion
    inter-frame group of pictures (GOP) for distribution.
    Scaling
    retiming
    cropping verses scaling
    or simply what compressor.app "thinks" would work best - usually the best for most work.
    others will have many more suggestions.
    Also note that there are some nice  overidding settings in the inspector/Video for resizing and retiming and Cropping you might consider.
    For client based production distributions, many of us use CUSTOMISED settings. You may create and delete these on an AS NEEDED basis.
    Lastly, There's likely a good write up the defaults in the latest Compressor.app V4.1 Users Guide PDf - you might want to pull it down from http://manuals.apple.com and shove it in ibooks.app. I recommend getting a copy. Also get the latest FCPX 10.1 Users Guide and Motion while you're there. Great for iPAD and iPHONE too if you get bored.
    FWIW.

  • ITunes-LAME settings ideal for voice.

    Using iTunes-LAME Encoder v2.0.9 (34) & LAME v3.97
    I am having trouble with some past suggested encoding options for voice or audiobooks. Of the settings below, only -b 48 produced an encoding. I expected adding -m m to the end of that would get me a mono of the same but got a spinning ball instead. The others below all got stuck on "gathering info" with a spinning rainbow. I'm wondering if the latest lame has a change in the command line for encoding options?
    I am looking to end up with a small file size for Audiobooks (ie 48 kbps), and yet resolve the voice "s" harsh digital sound.
    Using Audio Hijack Pro off a CD player set to CBR - 48 kbps - mono, I got a good sounding file much better on the "s" than iTunes (built in import) set to the same settings. Thus I was trying to see if iTunes-LAME could do as did AHJPro.
    Looking for speed as well. The -b 48 sounded ok on the "S" but lost some of the higher frequency thus a little muted sounding. Also important not to make this a long encoding process as there are many discs to do. I realize the list below has a few different bit rates and CBR VBR and ABR. Some I do not understand the setting as they did not appear on the usage guide.
    Suggestion desired.
    Anyone know a most current list of encoding settings (usage) that will work?
    So far tried:
    --preset 22 --noshort --scale 1.05 -q0 -mm --resample 16 --lowpass 7.0
    -b 32 --resample 22050 --lowpass 8000
    --alt-preset 64 -mm -b32
    --abr 64 -mm -b32
    -b 56 -m m
    --preset voice
    -b 48

    Using a different iTunes library I was able to use the settings posted in my last message without a spinning ball. I think iTunes-LAME was just not finding the source. (I tried to edit the above for a 3rd time but forum wouldn't allow.)
    Thus the problem is not in the settings, and I was able to compare the results.
    Though I'm still interested in a good discussion of settings both for voice and music.
    I cannot explain the settings of the first two listed above.

  • Why hasn't the crashing of iBooks been addressed?  You cannot read a book as it crashes after every 3 or 4 pages, dims for no reason and changes background from white to dark.  Please address our issues.  Using iPad Air. Thank you

    iiBook, iPad Air, repeatedly crashes since recent iOS updates.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    What, if anything, have you tried to see if it fixes it e.g. closing the app via the iPad's taskbar, soft-reset, turning Settings > iBooks > Online Content 'off', backing up (and copying purchases over to your computer's iTunes library) and restoring ?
    For the brightness and background, what settings do you have i.e. if you open a book and tap the AA icon at the top right do you currently have 'auto-night theme' set 'on' ?

  • Search script generator for all objects and data (!) from a user/schema ?

    Is there a way to create a script which (when run) creates all the existing
    TABLES; INDEXES, KEYS and DATA for a specified user/schema ?
    This (PL-)SQL script should contain all INSERTS for the currently existing rows of
    all the TABLEs.
    When I use e.g. export to Dumpfile I have at first find all TABLEs and components
    which I want to dump. This is rather uncomfortable.
    I just want to specify the user name similar to
    createscript user=karl@XE outfile=D:\mydata\myscript.sql
    Is this somehow possible ?

    So that I understand your requirements exactly, are you asking for your script to ...
    1/ export from database A the entire schema of a specified user
    2/ drop all objects owned by that user in database B
    3/ import the objects from database A into database B
    If so, it sounds to me that a shell script that does a schema level export as Nicholas suggested, and then drops the user from database B using the cascade keyword (e.g. drop user username cascade), recreates the user and then imports the export file into B should do the trick.
    I don't think searching for individual tables and creating the statements to recreate them is the best idea.
    Hope that helps

  • Creating aliases on a smb volume for 10.5 and using aliase from 10.5 in 10.7

    We are accessing a Windows File Server (SMB (NTFS)) with some Mac Pro's using Leopard and some Mac's with Lion. Aliase created with Leopard and older Mac OS Versions can not be used with Lion. Aliase created with Lion can not be used with Leopard. Clicking at the aliases from the other Mac OS version will open the Terminal, but not open the original file or folder.
    Leopard creates two files, for example myAliase and ._myAliase. The invisible file contains the data.
    Lion creates only one file myAliase with the data.
    How can we use and create the old styled aliases from older Mac OS Versions?
