Compressor HD 1920x1080 settings for an average PC laptop as display

Hi all,
i need to compress an 18 minute Prores422 HD sequence to be displayed on a HD-LCD screen connected to a PC laptop. i have used the H264 settings of compressor and limited the Data Rate to 16200 with stuttery results. i think this newer HP laptop is not powerful enough for decoding H264. What is the best compression recipe for getting HD quality without too much precessing demand from video card and the chip ?

Hi
*HD to DVD*
No version of iDVD (Yet) can do HD.
alt. is to use
1
• Roxio Toast™ 10-Pro incl. Blu-Ray component
• Blu-Ray burner and disk
• alt. Toast™ can burn full Quality to DVD but then just 20 minutes maximum in Blu-Ray standard
STILL - This the need a Blu-Ray Player to be viewed.
(May be a PlayStation3™ - not all Blu-Ray players play them)
2
Playback via Mac to screen. Should give a full quality Playback ? ? ?
3
DVD Studio Pro - in FinalCut Studio bundle - should be able to do HD
but can only be played on a few Toshiba DVD-players and a few Macs (not all of them).
4
Take out movie on USB-memory - Put into PlayStation3™ ==> Very good quality (it’s said)
Yours Bengt W

  • Compressor 3.5 settings for BD encodes?

    I've been experimenting with creating BD media in Compressor by using the provided templates or creating my own.
    The current BD template calls for H264 as the codec, however I'd like to use MPEG2 as encoding is substantially faster. A 60 minute encapsulated QT file straight from FCP7 takes almost 3 hours to process on my 2008 8-core Mac Pro, whereas encoding in MPEG2 (QMaster set up correctly) takes roughly 30-45 minutes!
    The problem arises when its time to create the BD disc image. Batch Monitor usually returns with an error stating that either the audio or video settings aren't correct for Blu-ray.
    My most recent attempt utilized DVD Dolby Audio for the audio portion, and an MPEG2 elementary stream for the video. Inspector settings for video were set to Blu-ray for Stream Usage.
    Could anyone please provide insight as to what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm not sure about this, but you may only be able to use h.264 for video to make a blu-ray inside of Compressor.
    I would suggest encoding in MPEG-2/AC3 in Compressor and then using Toast to author and burn.

  • If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, laptop and android, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?

    If I choose sync settings for my add-ons, between my Windows XP laptop and android phone, will one device' s add-ons go on the other automatically?
    For example, if i add a password manager add-on to my PC, will that same add-on go onto my phone? Or will i have to separately add it again to my phone?
    If I do have to add it separately, then what exactly IS the add-on syncing doing?

    hmmm... i have no idea what the "install.rdf file" of an extension) is? or how to check that?
    thanks!

  • Best Compressor 3.5 Settings For Blu Ray Authoring in Roxio Toast

    I want to export a 2 hour FCP7 project for eventual burning onto blu ray (BD-R DL) disk using Roxio Toast and I was wondering what are the settings in Compressor 3.5 to be able to achieve the absolute best quality file to take into Roxio?
    As an aside, is Compressor even required for this or can I import the full res FCP7.mov file?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Best settings for 4:3 material to be displayed in widescreen

    I'm creating a movie that will combine digital images and digital video captured in 4:3 aspect ratio.  The movie will be played on high def wide screen monitors that are capable of 1080i.  I've created several test movies and the images and video continue to be squashed or flattened.  Should I create the project in 4:3 ratio?  Should I burn the DV in widescreen format?  Any help is appreciated.

    The will depend on first, how you wish the non-standard material to display and then on how the user's systems are set up.
    In general, I would choose doing a 16:9 Project and then handle the 4:3 material with Motion>Scale and crop the top and bottom to suit, with a tiny hit on quality. This would give me the greatest control.
    Good luck,

  • Live Tiles settings for Nokia Lumia 735.

    It seems its no option for the largest Live Tiles in my Nokia Lumia 735 with Lumia Denim.
    I want for example the msn weather app/tile cover the display for 100% from left to right in the largest option, not only about 70 %
    If I go in to the settings that is not avaible.
    (see the photo)
    Photo not from my phone but just to show what settings I mean.
    In my old Nokia Lumia 630 with Lumia Cyan that is not a problem to change the settings for full size live tiles at display or the smaller options.
    Is it only my Lumia 735 who got this issue or is it on all devices with Lumia Denim firmware?

    Sorry, I was a little bit confused from the attached picture.
    Lumia 730 does not have any option to enable 2 tile colums. So your only can hope if microsoft enables this feature in future updates again.

  • Compressor settings for YouTube for 720p 12 minute 10GB project created in FCPX?

    Hey All
    Would anyone care to share some settings for compressor please?
    I have a 720p 50fps 12 minute 10GB file created in FCPX that using "Publish to YouTube" settings in Compressor is still coming out at 721MB.
    It will take me 4-5 hours to upload this to YouTube so need to make the file smaller and who knows how it will play once its up online.
    Any suggestions of some other Compressor settings without using too much quality?
    Thanks

    shippo,
    When you reference "50 fps", do you happen to know if that's fields per second or frames per second?  Depending on the answer to that, you may or may not need to adjust that.
    When it comes to file size, you have frame rate, frame size, compression type and data transfer rate affecting the final size.
    As Russ and darby have suggested, data transfer rate is the main thing to experiment with (since you're publishing for Vimeo, the other setting are pretty much locked in).
    I have found that when it comes to playing with the bit rate, a video with a 1280 by 720 frame size needs between 4,000 kilobits per second and 5,000 kilobits per second to maintian good image quality.  While you might get good results at a lower rate, high contrast areas in the picture are very, very, very likely to show loss of image quality.
    If you need to get your video up asap, start the upload late at night.  As long as your internet connection doesn't drop out (knock on wood), you file will be uploaded by the morning.
    Also, (for what it's worth) is there any place close by that has fast internet that you could use?  If you have access to a computer lab at a local community college, a 1GB file will probably upload in minutes rather than hours.

  • Playstation 3 compressor settings for h.264/mp4 and avchd and 5.1 audio

    Hello this is my first post on this forum. I am a cameraman by trade, but do a lot of editing. I am pretty good on an Avid and with color correction software, but since I sold my sony f900 and picked up a couple or RED cameras - I was forced to hop on the FCP studio2 wagon. So I apologize for the newbie questions.
    I have a PS3 and not a PSP. I find more and more clients have a PS3 for their media and blu-ray... etc. So my question is what are the settings for compressor to encode for the PS3 and there ever so nit picky and poorly documented parameters.
    There are plenty of non-pro answers, but I have searched high and low for what they need specifically. I see lots of questions but now answers.
    So how can I take my final cut footage or any video file for that matter, and put it into something that my PS3 can chew? What are the H.264 (mpeg4) settings?
    Can I also (but not exclusively) encode in AVCHD from compressor?
    Lastly is there a way to put on the 5.1 or surround info into these files for PS3 playback? if I want to take one of my work DVD's (reel, projects, etc) and put it on the PS3 or bring in surround encoded (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) tracks into FCP and put it with my footage?
    Thanks for any and all help...
    the only vaguely technical info I have found was on the PS3 forum, here is what it says:
    from:
    http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3media&mess age.id=22987&query.id=96226#M22987
    For those of you who want to put .MP4 videos on a PS3 with a Macintosh, this is how you do it with ffmpegx.
    VIDEO
    - X264 Encoding
    - framesize can be any
    - framerate can be any
    AUDIO
    - any MP3 or AAC track
    OPTIONS
    - Use CABAC on
    - Constant bitrate on
    - Trellis on
    - Decode with Quicktime (not always necessary but if your picture is out of sync with audio, try this)
    - AVC level 3.0
    This produces a good .MP4 file that the PS3 will happily play.
    Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? if not can we figure it out on this thread? there are a lot of questions I find when I google this subject out there - so a lot of people would be happy to find the answer.

    I have created files to play on PS3, and the secret is to use MPEG Streamclip. You can encode to whatever you want in MPEG2 or MPEG4, then open that bad boy in MPEG Streamclip:
    If it's MPEG2, File > convert to TS
    If it's MPEG4: File > Save As MP4
    That's it. MPEG Streamclip doesn't re-encode so no quality loss. All it does is change the container. And PS3 is very picky about containers.
    As for 5.1 audio, you can do this by encoding separate MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files like you normally would for a DVD. For hi-def MPEG2, use one of the Compressor presets for HD-DVD. Make sure they both have the same name ("xxx.m2v" and "xxx.ac3", for instance) and are in the same folder. Then open the video in MPEG Streamclip and it will automatically mux the streams together, which can then be converted to TS.
    Note that this is only possible encoding video to MPEG2. I don't know of any way to create an MP4 with 5.1 audio.
    PS3 is a great way to deliver HD video onto your TV without the frustration of trying to author Blu-Ray or even burning discs.

  • No settings for Apple Lossless Audio Codec found in Compressor

    For archiving reasons I have to convert many audio files to Apple Lossless (ALAC). So I thought it would be easy using Compressor 4 and and a suitable droplet. I was astonished that here are only settings for the following audio formats: AAC, AC3, AIFF, CAF, MP3 and WAV.
    No Apple Lossless Codec in the settings?
    Does anyone know how to create ALAC files

    Thomas A. wrote:
    This setting generates a QuickTime file with the extension .mov
    Of course it does. Why would that be a problem? "Apple Lossless" is not a file format, it's a codec.
    OK, if I change the extension manually to m4a it seems to be an ALAC file, but I am not sure if it a "correct" one in regard to the specifications.
    There is no "ALAC" file format specification. What are you going to use the files for?
    ALAC isn't specified at all. The audio codec is called "Apple Lossless", and it is a set of algorithms to encode audio data, and a specification for a bitstream of audio data encoded such. It can be put in various containers, the most common being MPEG-4 and Apple Quicktime, but nothing will stop you from using AVI, .mkv, .ogg or anything else as the container format.
    If you're unhappy with Compressor, which only seems to offer the QuickTime container format for Apple Lossless-encoded audio, there might be other tools that will transfer it into another container while leaving the actual encoded data untouched.
    Since the Apple Lossless codec is now free, mencoder might work, even for the encoding itself. I haven't checked MPEG Streamclip, Handbrake, VLC or others, which might also offer such options.
    Quick tests didn't yield any success, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't work.
    An alternative for lessless encoding is the "FLAC" (free lossless audio codec), which is usually stored in an ogg container file. I don't think Compressor offers that, although VLC does.
    It seems that the exact thing you want is not readily available (i. e. mpeg-4 audio-only with Apple Lossless audio codec.)

  • Best Compressor settings for HD720 16:9 to cell phone OTHER than iPhone?

    Hey there,
    Does anyone know a good set of compressor settings for exporting HD720 16:9 29.97fps to a cell phone compatible format other than iPhone? Do most cell phones use an MPEG format? I guess I should start there. New to this one.
    Thank you,

    There are different MPEG flavours and compression for DVD, mobiles or web often means creating some flavour of MPEG file. Even H.264 is an MPEG file. One of the most advanced.
    Go to Compressor settings and look for a folder named Mobile devices then do a bit of your DIY (test, test, test).

  • Compressor settings for web

    Hi guys,
    I just finished a promo for a club and exported it in ProRes 720p50 and it looks pretty bad ***. I then compressed it with Compressor (Quicktime 7 LAN) for the client so it would be easy accessible... 23MB instead of 3GB
    The only problem is that my shots where I use the focus don't get compressed very well. And some of my shots look kind of blury.
    So my question is what I could do to adjust these small 'mistakes'...? Adjust the bitrate...? A clip of 50-60MB is doable for me
    Thanks!
    PS The length of the promo is about 2 minutes
    To view the promo clients.kh-media.be/fabulous/red_cafe_promo_compressed.mov

    You either start with the LAN preset and adjust the settings up or start with the Apple: Formats:  Quicktime:  H264 preset which is full quality and lower it til you get the file size you need.
    Another thing you might try since the LAN settings are resizing, is to customize the preset in the frame controls panel so the scaling is set to best.  You can do a test on a short problematic section in compressor by setting an in and out in the preview window.

  • Need advise on best settings for FCP 7!

    I am looking for some advice on the best settings for FCP 7 when I am syncing sound using pluraleyes, exporting into quicktime as one file and then importing that new file into FCP 7 for editing. I have noticed that sometimes my Quicktime files are very large (20 gb) and sometimes they are much smaller (130 MB), but I never changed the settings.
    I am working on FCP 7 and shot using my Panasonic GH3 at 24 fps (which comes to 23.98). My frame size is 1920x1080. Compressor is H.264. Data rate: 8.6 MB/sec. Audio rate: 48.0 KHz.  I have heard that FCP 7 does not properly deal with H.264. So, I am wondering, what should my settings be?  Should I set to "Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920x1080 24p 48 kHz"?  Is there anything I need to know when I export to Quicktime 7 Pro in order to not reduce the quality of the video? Should I be changing my video files first before I even start to work on them?
    I haven't edited in almost ten years so I am desperate need of some guidance!
    Final Cut Pro 7, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

    Hi Shane Ross,
    Thanks for your help.  So, I already synced all of my interviews in FCP 7 (using pluraleyes) before I changed the video to ProRess 422.  Can I just go into FCP (in the same project) and compress the video footage, import the new video files and throw it into the timeline? Or will this cause issues? I tried this as a test and it seems to be okay but I just want to check that there aren't any issues that I am not considering.
    Also, when I do compress, it seems to take forever (sometimes two hours). Is there any way to make this move along faster?
    Thanks so much!

  • Best Export Settings For Fast/Low-Res QuickTime Movies

    I couldn't find a discussion room for FCP 7 so I figured if anybody is proficiant with FCP X, they could help me.
    Hello,
    I really could use some help with my export settings using FinalCut Pro 7.  Most of my shows are no more than 20 minutes and I pretty much know the best QuickTime export settings for uploading to Vimeo, Exposure Room,YouTube...etc.   But now I am trying export a lengthy project at 53 minutes.
    The footage is mixed and some of it was not converted to ProRes but it plays great and renders fine in the timeline. The sequence settings were picked automatically at 1920x1080 because of the main footage that was brought in.
    This upload is for client viewing purposes ONLY so I really don't care about the quality as much as the export speed.  As far as what I’ve tried - I am using the H.264 codec.   I tried lowering it to NTSC 720x480, then tried 1280x720 HD.  I set the compressor lower than medium and the Kbps (?) settings to AUTOMATIC when I typically set it manually, between 3000 and 5000.  My audio is set at AAC.
    It’s a crappy project because of the way it was frankenstein’d together in the field (I’m just cutting it), but I'm committed now and have a huge deadline.  I'm getting a bit nervous because of how many hours it’s taking to export.  The client is going to make inevitablec hanges and will want to see those changes quickly again - online.
    NOTE: My Compressor does not work and I’ve never needed to use so far so that option is not available.
    I could really use could some wisdom today!
    Thanks so much to whomever can steer me in the right path.

  • IPhoto Slideshow Export Settings for FCP 7

    I made a slideshow using iPhoto '11 that I need to import into Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 so that it can be merged into a longer sequence with a few other things that will eventually be burned onto a DVD using Studio Pro and then set to play in a continuous loop.
    My question is, what settings should I use exporting out of iPhoto? The photos were all taken with a Canon 5D. The sequence that I'll be importing the slideshow into will also have a sequence in it that was shot using the Sony HXR-NX5U. So, the native settings for that clip will be 1920x1080, square pixels, 23,98 fps, Apple ProRes 422 codec. I exported my iPhoto slideshow to match the settings as best as possible - 1920x1080 HD 16:9 was the closest option. I think the one difference is that the slideshow plays at 30 fps while the sequence matches the main video at 23.98 fps.
    My issue is that the slideshow plays fine in iPhoto and even as a stand-alone movie loaded in QuickTime, but once I import it into Final Cut, I get motion artifacts. Even if I bring the slideshow into its own sequence, with the sequence settings matching those of the slideshow, the artifacts are still there. I can get rid of them using the Flicker Filter, but is there a way to resolve this issue during the iPhoto export? Should I be Deinterlacing the source video, leaving it as a progressive movie or selecting interlaced scaling? If it needs interlaced scaling, should I select upper or lower?
    Or, are there better settings to get this slideshow to play better in Final Cut?

    Yes. What we're setting up a booth at an upcoming event and have some promo videos we made, as well as the slideshows. The purpose of bringing them all into FCP was so I could put them all together in the timeline and export them as one big movie, which I'd them bring into DVD Studio Pro and set it to loop over and over.
    Unless, of course, I could keep all the movies separate and create a "Play" button that plays movie #1, but modify the end jump to go to movie #2. Modify the end jump of movie #2 to go to movie #3, the end jump of movie #3 go to #4 and have the end jump of #4 go back to #1.
    Would that work? If so, I can just put everything into Compressor.
