Compressing (mpeg4?) a movie with static images and fades. Best settings?

Hey there,
I'm using compressor with Final Cut HD and a Powermacg5.
I have a movie made mostly of static images (experimental piece with landscapes) and fades between them.
Firstly, does anyone have any great tips for compressing a quicktime movie for the web (so probably mpeg 4) that works well with images that are mostly still? The mpeg4 setting with h264 are okay (ntsc image size, 30fps), but every so often there's sudden blocky-ness when there is a little bit of motion in the frame. Any ideas?
Secondly, the images go really chunky when there is a slow dissolve between the images, any compression ideas there?
I'll be experimenting myself but I thought it best to ask you guys first ... any tips?
Thanks
Richard

Hi everyone
Is it possible to compress a movie ( 83 minutes long
) for a Single DVD without any pixellations ?
If so I need to know what is the best settings...
I keep compressing with a bit rate about 6 and my dvd
still looks bad (pixels on transitions and sometimes
pauses).
I don't know what I could have done wrong !!!
I don't want to use double layer and I can't split my
movie into 2 dvds.
Can someone walk me through this step by step ?
Many thanks
I think it should be, the setting I always use are:
Vide: 7.4Mbps, One pass, Motion Estimation: Best
Audio:Dolby 2.0 Datarate 256 kbps.
I have tried a lot of combos but this is the only settings I can get with no pixellations. I'm always happy with the result and its fast! You might need to knock back the data rate to make 83 mins fit.

Optimize php page for browsers lacking flash, so that it replaces flash objects with static images

Hello,
I basically want to have my php pages with flash swf objects to be smart enough to replace the flash swf's with static images or other content for the non-flash user (iphone, ipad, etc.) who visits the website. I guess this would be an option or perhaps a script that just sent the visitor to a version of the .php page that is tailored to them, a version of the page designed for non-flash users.
I've done a little bit of reading up and have found that some people like to use DOM scripts like
Unobtrusive Flash Objects (UFO) v3.22
or what seems to be the successor:
SWFObject 2.0
What is better? Is there a better script out there to use at this point? Advice would be much appreciated.

I guess I will reiterate this.
I would like someone to tell me which one of these scripts that I have mentioned above would be best to use.
What am I trying to do? Well from my understanding these scripts allow me to have multiple versions of the website, so that it loads up with static images in place of the flash swf's for... NON FLASH USERS.
The script will be able to detect whether the flash capabilities of the browser are sufficient, and if not display the web page accordingly.
SO. I'm looking for an answer as to what is the best script to use, if it's not one of the scripts I am asking about.
@The Shocker.. if I wanted to research it on the net by googling, which I already have, I wouldn't be using this forum. I'm looking for someone who is knowledgeable in this area of expertise to give me a recommendation, based on information they can give me that is logical and clear. And then I can do further research once I feel I'm being sent in the right direction.
Thanks in advance to anyone who would like to offer me some direction on this.

Send HTML Email with Embedded Images and CSS

Hi All,
I have a html page. I want to send that html page(not with attachment) with all images and css. i search and try but I cant find a good solution. can any one help... plz..........
Thank You.....

If you want to send the html page and have it
reference the images and css files on your web
site, that's pretty easy. Just create a message
with text/html content that is your html page.
If you want to include all the images and css files
in your message along with the html page, you'll
need to create a multipart/related message and
you'll need to change all the html to reference the
images and css files using "cid:" references.

How to mix time lapse with still images and imported movies ?

Hello
I have been shooting photos (time lapse with Camera Pro) and movies with a Nokia N8 and would love to use iMovie to mount all that.
Unfortunately, for the time lapse I cannot get the duration of the photos to 0.03s, it just won't accept it. I have been looking around the forum and could only find sort of solutions when you have a transition or effect on the pictures but not when they are just fit to the screen...
So now the time lapse looks much slower and broken than the movie itself... and it does not look nice.
Another way would be to make the time lapse with QT Pro and then import it but I am affraid I am loosing quality in the process.
Anybody knows how to fix this duration problem ?
Thank you in advance for any helpful answer.

iMovie : 9.0.4

Able, Jim,
thanks a lot, both solutions work just fine.
Take the first image, adjust the Effects, copy it, select the other images and past attributes
and
just put all images together, make a new sequence and use that first sequence as nested sequence and put the effects on that

Make a audio controller file move with a pan and zoom.

I am using a few folio overlays for a digital publication.
I have an image that uses the pan and zoom overlay.
I would like to add several play buttons for audio that are linked to the image so when you pan the image the audio files move with it.
So far I can only get the audio controller file to be static and the image move under it.

Here's a little trick for you. Before creating a scrolling frame, group the
text frame with a small no fill/no stroke frame. Now you have group in the
frame, you can drag additional objects in using the layers panel.

Crash with still images and keyframes?

Has anyone experienced a HARD crash on Premiere Pro CS6 (v6.0.2) mac when working with still images on the timeline & adding keyframes to add slight movement to those images?
without adding keyframes, the images seem to sit happily in my sequence but as soon as I add keyframes, it crashes so hard I can't switch to another application, force quit, or anything except a hard restart.
Premiere has been pretty damn solid for me since the latest update and since I went to 16GB RAM so this is surprising and frustrating.
any advice will be appreciated.
I'm on
OS X 10.8.2
MBP 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7

No Internet Access with Static IP and RVS 4000

I have an RVS 4000. I have several PC's to which I have assigned static IP addresses. I have recently upgraded most of the PC's to Win 7 (64) machines. I updated the firmware on the RVS4000 to 1.3.3.5 in conjunction with this. After such update (and actually before as well) I could not assign a static IP address to a PC and have access to the internet. It connects fine to my LAN, just no internet access. This is also affected on several other machines running Win XP and Win 2003 Server, so it's not just this computer.
I have:
     1. Shut down (powered off/unplugged) everything, router, DSL modem, switches, server, etc.
     2. As I said firmware is current.
     3. Yes, DNS servers and gateway, subnet, etc. are all correctly specified on the PC.
     4. Router is set for gateway mode.
     5. Set to only IPV4.
The only way it allows internet access is to use DHCP. I've even tried taking the IP address via DHCP and manually assigning the DNS servers and that works fine, but as soon as I assign a static IP internet access is immediately gone.
There must be something I'm missing, but I can't seem to find it.
Everything worked fine prior to the conversion of the Win 7 machines, i.e. I had several PC's with static IP's and no problems.
Any thoughts appreciated.

As an addendum, if I turn off the Firewall (internet access policy to disable) it will allow the static IP computer to have internet access. I have the DHCP range set to be .5 - .54 and am using a static ip outside this range. The Internet access policy is to restrict those PC's getting IP via DHCP.

Was reading book official appearing pop up came up asking if I wanted to upgrade-I pressed to do it and iPad is frozen with iTunes image and image of charger cord

Was reading book on iPad
Pop up asked if I wanted to upgrade- probably stupidly I agreed- now iPad screen is frozen with ITunes symbol and image of charger cord on screen- tried turning it off - no help.

Carolyn explained how to reset the iPad. You don't need a tool or clip to do this...just your fingers.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
I do not think that is going to work, but try it.
You are getting the connect to iTunes message and that usually means that your iPad needs to be restored.

Quicktime movies with both pics and videos don't upload correctly to YouTub

I have a Quicktime movie with pictures, video clips and music. The quicktime movie plays fine in Quicktime, but only the video parts upload to YouTube. How do I fix this? I have tried converting from mov to flv before uploading and same problem.
I have uploaded Quicktime movies successfully with just pics and music and it has worked.

I'm hopeful this explanation will fix this same problem I've been banging my head on for several days now as I thought I would get fancy and add some graphics from .jpgs but stretch them into video segments by properly adding them to the working video in QTPro on Windows. Both Youtube and Yahoo Video removed my graphics (tracks) so hopefully flattening will solve it however I am concerned about quality.
Before the graphic .jpg adds I was doing the following:
1. My vids strart off as MP4's from various clips taken from nother device. I load them into QT Pro in segments and then end up saving so they go to the .MOV format.
2. I upload to Youtube and all is good.
Now with the flattening of .MOV back to MP4's how much quality will I lose? Should I really add the graphics as part of step one and then the one time save to a default .mov cause me one generation less of video quality loss?
Tks for the help.
