Cs5 embbeding video question

Hi
I have embedded a couple of video clips in my design document, it will be eventually exported out as a swf. Although my videos play nicely within the exported version, once they get to the end, i would like the video to return to the beginning poster frame and stop. The only option to make it return within indesign that i can see makes it loop, but not stop... Can anyone advise on if this is possible within an exported indesign swf file
Thanks

That's into the area of legal interpretation, but you don't need to overthink it. You may have purchased the license, but technically the activation is per computer, is it not? So one could simply assume that this is perfectly intended or at least within the freedom that the EULA provides... It's not like you're letting your neighbors use it for a buck an hour, or is it?

CS5 html pack video question

I'm now getting more and more clients both old and new that want their sites built for I Pad abd I Phone / smartphone viewing. Been working inside the html pack and seem to be getting the hang of the separate css. My question may or may not be in the right forum but I'l ask anyway, I have a few photogallery solutions for html 5 now comes the video solution. I can surf for hours and get different info on open source html5 video players, is Quicktime html 5 compatible?
Where do I go from here?
anybody?

Hi
html5 is a spec and not limited to any specific plug-in, device or browser, you can even use flash in html5.
To use html5 just change your doc type to the html5 doc type, and then insert the video tag, however using quicktime will immediately eliminate more users than using flash and eliminating iPhone/Pad users would.
The 'simplest' solution is to use the slideshow pro and director for html5 video compatibility, (when it is released see- http://slideshowpro.net/news/archive/2010/07/announcing-slideshowpro-mobile.php/) or upload your videos to a site such as UTube and link directly to the video on that site.

Apple TV Streaming Video Question?

I don't know where to post this question but seeing ITunes is part of this query I will try here. I have a combination wired/wireless home network. Two laptops, one a IBook G4, and a Dell desktop. The Laptops are wireless while the desktop is wired. I have a Linksys wired/wireless router for this configuration. I have a passing interest in the Apple TV but I have everything related to ITunes on the desktop as that is my primary computer. My wife and daughter use the laptops. None of the computers are configured to communicate with each other. They just have access to the internet via the router and cable modem. My question is this...If I want to stream from the desktop to the Apple TV how would I do it? Is the fact the the router can do wireless enough and it would automatically sync to the Apple TV or do I have to modify my network for sharing? I question whether the two units will see each other without some changes in my network. If so, how do I do that? I thought about getting a USB wireless adapter for the desktop but I don't want to have to keep disconnecting the Ethernet cable every time I go wireless just to stream the video. I also hate to buy an adapter in addition to the Apple TV. Just an added cost. Any thoughts on this.
IBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Never mind. I re-posted in the new Apple TV forum.

CS5 Mixed video formats in same sequence

New user here, coming from 10 years of Pinnacle Studio.
I have at least 3 different video formats to edit in a single sequence/timeline (iPhone, 720 from a Sony point and shoot, and 1080i from a Canon video camera). Depending on which format I use for the sequence, when I drag the videos to the main Video1 track, the audio will go to whatever track is appropriate for the mono or stereo. The iPhone and Sony are both mono and will be on one track and the Canon is stereo so its audio jumps to a stereo track.
So my question is, am I to make all my audio adjustments on both mono and stereo audio tracks depending on where I am making the volume changes on the timeline. In Pinnacle, the video and associated audio was always on the same track pair. I was just wondering about workflow and the best way to make the audio adjustments.
My project typically is a year's worth of video footage from the 3 sources, making a Year In Review. There will be soundtrack music from MP3's playing most of the time, with occasional original audio from the video being raised in volume for a few seconds, then fading back down to hear the soundtrack again. Keeps the audience more engaged.
One more question, what format should my sequence match, the 1080 stereo Canon, 720 mono Sony, or mono iPhone. The end result will be for viewing on widescreen big screen DVD or Blu-ray. I would like to make the mono on both channels, and upscale to 1080. Not sure the best way to do this.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks everyone. I will continue practicing and learning.
Another question. After editing, I will be authoring with Encore, which I have used for many years now. How should I structure the audio tracks in Premiere if I want the mixed audio track (master track) to be the main audio track in Encore (on the DVD) and the original video's audio to be the alternate audio track in Encore (on the DVD). While playing back the DVD, the default audio track will be the mixed audio. If the viewer wants to hear the original audio only, then they just hit the audio button on the remote to switch tracks.
Funny how this requirement came about. For years I always just had the mixed audio. But while watching the videos, my kids started telling me they wanted to hear the original audio. Knowing the video would be too boring to adults without a soundtrack, I came up with the idea for multiple audio tracks. That requirement eliminated the consumer lever authoring tools, which is what pushed me to Encore back in the version 1.0 days. Since then I have been using Studio to edit, and Encore to author. Now I am trying to dump Studio and use the Premiere/Encore pair.
The way I did this in Pinnacle Studio was to output the video and mixed audio as an AVI or MPEG2 file, and import this as the timeline in Encore. Then from Pinnacle Studio, output the original audio only as a .wav file, and import this as a 2nd audio track in Encore. Worked perfectly...as long as Pinnacle kept the audio in sync, which at times was difficult, but with the newer releases of Studio, it worked much better.
Thanks for all the guidance.

64bit os video questions

I've put 2003 64bit on an old ide drive. Used the workstation set up guide from another thread-- video accelerated, dx9b in place. Audio works, lan works (thx for the driver links) -- picked up satellite internet through ICS on another machine (W2K) automatically. But took a while to find the right security settings to let other puters access 2003. OS even correctly installed a logitec wireless joystick I forgot to unplug, without asking for any drivers! Oh, installed the via beta drivers.
A few questions/issues:
How can you tell if the via drivers installed? The via setup program lists audio codecs, but no others.
How can the OS video drivers work? Why don't they need to be 64bit?
I've installed nothing from ati for the 9700pro --- and get 5100 on 3dmark2003 (340). Two issues -- first, 3dmark shows direct x as version 6. I saw the thread about 64 bit vs regular dxdiag, but either way I try it, I still get dx6 in 3dmark, while it's dx9b in dxdiag????
Second, I toyed with agp aperture size in bios to see if the score could climb to other's posted levels. Systems reboots constantly (during the first windows startup screen -- the one that has the little bar moving across the screen) if set above or below 128???
Sorry for the rookie questions.... thx, Mark

Thx Bas,
yea, time to toy with xp64 now.
But, other than a score of only 5100, and dx listing as version 6, things work pretty well. Kinda surprising, given the driver situation. Mark

PPro CS5 no Video output to external monitor

I am using Pr Pro CS5. I have a Sony HDV DVCAM deck (HVR-M25U) that is plug into my computer with firewire, then from my deck I have a JVC DT-V20l1 HD monitor with companent cables.
In PPro under the program monitor, I put the plackback to show the deck.
On the deck the iLink is turn off. (no video with it turned on as well).
I worked on one project and the video was there in the ext. monitor. Opened an old project that I was working on before and there is no video on the monitor.
The settings have not been changed. the only difference is a brand new edit system, but I had video plackback.

Colin,
I don't know if i am using MPE/GPU acceleration.
I have an Dell XPS 9100 Computer.
3.33 ghertz
24 gigs of ram
Quadro 4000 graphics card.
I figured that if CS5 had all the requirements. Mercury Engine playback, rendering would just be screaming on this machine. It works great, Multi layers of video seem to take a bit longer to render, but no video through the deck and on my ext hd monitor.
it was once there, now it is gone. I have updated PPro with all the updates.

Mpeg-2 flags, dvdsp, and 23.976 video question

just got through this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9786956
and have a remaining question. i looked at the m2v file in
mpeg streamclip and i see:
Video Tracks:
224 MPEG-2, 720 × 480, 4:3, 23.976 fps, 7.70 Mbps, upper field first
is the 'upper field first' just a flag to tell how to deal with
this file? or is it stating that the file is interlaced with the
upper field first?
the intent is to make a progressive dvd at 23.976. the original
material is film, captured and edited at 23.976, progressive. the
material was captured off of an old projector, a frame at a time,
with a digital still camera, so the original has no interlacing
or fields. this went to make an image sequence, which was rendered
to a qt movie at 23.976, also progressive, no fields. it was then
output through compressor to the m2v file which produced the mpeg
streamclip stream info dialog quoted above.
thanks,
BabaG

Yes, it's just a flag.

Mac pro video questions

I'm thinking about getting one or more of the mac pro videos to supplement the logic manual in my attempt to get a better grasp of the program and its capabilities and am looking for some advice. Although I'm partially temped to just buy the whole bundle, adding $200 to the amount I'm spending on music gear in the next couple months (I'll be buying monitors and a firewire interface) is probably not a good idea, and there are some videos that I don't expect I'd use at all (at least not any time soon). Addionally, I am aware that a great deal can be learned through experimentation, but that a good course or reference guide will provide a much faster learning process for me, and teach me things I won't figure out on my own.
Basically, I'm trying to decide whether to simply get the 101 video or the producer's bundle. Here's a basic overview of what I've used Logic for so far, and what I expect to do in the near future:
-primarliy small projects--only a few minutes in length, no more than 12 tracks
-exclusively Logic's plugin instruments and effects thus far, but intend to start using some live audio as well (though VIs will still make up the majority of the music)
-I've started to work on a couple short student film projects, and plan to do more in the future--for right now, I'm content with scoring for smaller instrumentation while still developing compositional skills.
My big question is about use of the environment and whether or not I should get the corresponding video. I know that this is an extremely useful tool, and yet with what I've been doing so far, I haven't needed to deal with it. Perhaps I'm missing things that I could be doing using it for, but so far I've found that everything I've needed can be found in the audio mixer. I'm sure that somewhere down the road I'll want to be familiar with the environment's functions, but I'm not certain that I need it now with my current setup. If someone could clarify some of the environments uses that would be beneficial to my current needs, that would be super. This may determine whether or not I go for the producer's bundle.
I know the obvious answer is most likely "the bundles are worth the added expense," and would certainly agree, but I'm going into poor/in debt student mode soon, so I need to be careful. Thanks.

I guess the main issue here is whether I should get them all now or get them gradually. Obviously, the general feeling here is that I should just go for it, and given the money I'd save all around by getting the main bundle, it makes sense. However, I feel that, for the projects I've been working on until now and will have in the near future, there are videos I could do without. And given my financial situation (aka I work at a video store and will soon have massive student debt), it might be best to wait on those.
So I'm wondering how essential certain elements are to general versatility in using Logic, so I can decide whether or not I need them right away. For example, I'm planning on using the native instruments bundle for samples, so I'm not sure that I really need the EXS tutorial. And I've just realized that I do actually use the environment all the time, I just forgot that the audio mixer is technically part of it--so that tutorial would probably be very useful.
Hypothetically, if I were to choose 1 or 2 tutorials (in addition to 101) to buy, and given the general overview of how I've been using Logic, which ones should they be?

Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.

Help!!! HD video question, answers needed

Hey guys.
I just received a 5th generation iPod Touch as a Christmas gift, but I have one quick question about it. When playing videos on YouTube, how can I make them not HD? On my old iPod Touch (it was a 1st gen iPod) it didn't have a Retina Display, so videos weren't played in HD. I assume that videos on my new iPod automatically are, because everything looks very, very crisp on the Retina display. I have selected "Never play HD videos" on my computer in my YouTube account, but I can't find a button like that on the iPod.
I did a test to make sure it wasn't the internet receiver of my new iPod, and indeed it isn't. In fact, other things on the internet besides YouTube videos seem to load quicker on my new iPod touch. It's just these infernal videos causing the problem.
I'd post about this on the Google Forums, but the Apple Forums are much better. ^__^ Thanks in advance!

most of the cards are HD SDI out on BNC connectors. blackmagic makes a box called HD link that allows an HD SDI signal to be mapped 1:1 pixel wise to either DVI-D or HDMI. Your monitor will need to be 1920 x 1080+ for it to work. It Appears you will need both the card and the adapter. I'm using a Kona2 and the hdlink for the client monitor and it works fine. I use a real HD mon for critical evaluation. the info re this adapter and recommended monitors is here http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/hdlink/

Equium L10 300: DVD burning & S-Video question

I have a Equium L10 300. I have 2 questions.
1: It says that it is a MULTI recorder but it does not burn to DVD+RW, is this correct ?
2: When I connect to the television via the S-video cable to play a slide show from the laptop the TV screen is blank.
Please help.

Hi
1. it is correct
2. I dont know how you do this slide show but I presume that it can happen if you use LCD display and TV at the same time. Try to set TV only.

Basic VT / Video Question

I am upgrading my CM to v4.2 this month and looking to do a limited implemenation of some video. I have read the basics on VT Advantage solution and had some questions I can't seem to find the answers to:
1. Besides the obvious desktop software and hardware (camera) installation, what additonal configuration changes do I need to make to CM/Unity/gateways to get video working in the environment?
2. What kind of additional load is now placed on the network with video and what will this do to my current bandwidth configurations?

Michael,
First off you should check out the IP Video Telephony SRND if you are thinking about deploying video. Here is the link. (It's a 4.1 reference but should be 99% the same for 4.2).
http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/netsol/ns268/c649/ccmigration_09186a00804ff6ba.pdf
Somewhat brief answers to your questions.
1. QoS for video on all network devices. The above guide discusses this but the Enterprise QoS SRND is the best reference. Switched only VT advantage isn't that hard. If you have WAN links then the LLQs should be configured independantly for video and voice(still only one llq though but this will ease admin and give the ability to police the video). Call Manager locations can be created to help enforce Call Admission Control of video calls. Provisioning the bandwidth is going to be one of the harder things to configure.
ACLs will need to be adjusted for PC/Cam to Phone communication. The phone proxies the connection for the Camera and determines the camera via CDP (local on the phone switch) and then sets up a TCP connection traversing L2 vlans to L3 router and back. So if you have Phone acls they need to be adjusted. Again this is referenced in the above document.
Regions for video types. You have a few options on video quality. This response will also answer 2. You can choose Cisco wideband, 7mps each direction for the highest quality and low amount of system overhead on the pc cpu. Of course this takes up a total 14mb for video. Should only be used on local lan. Then you have increments of h263. They range from 128 up to 1536. The higher the bandwidth the better the quality and more cpu on the local pc. You will need to use regions to set the desired video codecs and locations to enforce the bandwidth the codecs require.
Lastly multipoint conferencing and other video endpoint integration. If you want conference with video you need to add MCUs. Currently (not sure on 4.2) CCM has a limitation on determining Video conference resources in an intelligent fashion. Essentially you need to have any video MCUs at the top of your MRGLs in CCM. This leaves the potential for Audio only conferences happening on very expensive video conference bridges. This calls for Device Pool and MRGL design changes for people who really only need multi-point video conferences.
Read that SRND, great resource.
Please rate any helpful posts
Thanks

Quicktime playing multiple videos question

Hello Everyone.
This is probably more of a html/java/flash based question but I thought I would start here as it revolves around the QT Player.
I have a webpage
http://www.drewwfilms.com/Temp/Ket/KetWedding.html
On this page is the QT Player.
Beneath the player are 3 buttons. When a viewer clicks one of those buttons I want it to load the respective video related to that button into the player without the browser loading a new page. Is this possible?
Can someone steer me the right direction? Or help me out? I'm not even sure how to google search this. I tried Multiple Videos, 1 QT player Web - and I didn't get anything that helped.
Thanks!

I've been having this truly obnoxious problem ever since I installed Lion. Whenever I open a Quicktime video or a preview jpeg (and sometimes a Word document) - the last two or three documents I've viewed in these programs also open.
This is the normal default mode for Lion which now "remembers" what documents (files, movies, images, etc) were opn when you last "Quit" each application. Either learn to close the documents before "quitting" the app or turn this feature off. (I.e., deselect the "System Preferences > Personal > General > Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" option.)

New Switcher digital video questions

Hi all,
I am a new switcher as of 2 weeks ago when I picked up a new iMac. So far I love it but I do have a few questions. I imported a TON of miniDV video (150GB). I noticed on one tape that the clock had been set wrong. It now shows up in the wrong folder under iMovie. Any way I can change the files to reflect the right date so it gets put in the right place?
Also, I just tried to run iDVD. It will not run, it seems to just start and quit. Anyone else have this problem?

Unix provides a function known as Touch which will modify the dates modified and created for files. You can learn more about it here:
http://www.osxfaq.com/man/1/touch.ws
If you open the application Terminal in Applications -> Utilities, and drag the said file after inserting the touch command of your choice (providing a space between the complete command sequence and allowing the path of the file to show up), and then hit the enter key, you will be able to modify the date created and modified on the Finder. I don't know how iMovie sequences its own folders, but that's how to change the Finder info for the file.
If iDVD doesn't work you may have insufficient space to create a temporary file, or something else is the matter. How much free space do you have? Is your new iMac one with a Superdrive according to the box?

Syncing Videos Question

If I sync a video that's on my PC to the iPod, I believe iTunes shrinks it as it's copying it to the iPod which makes sense since you don't want huge videos (or pictures) copied there.
My question is, what happens when it syncs back to the PC; will it destroy by overwriting the original video on my PC to that from the iPod (which is much smaller)? Same thing for pictures.

Hello Rediance,
If I sync a video that's on my PC to the iPod, I believe iTunes shrinks it as it's copying it to the iPod which makes sense since you don't want huge videos (or pictures) copied there.
Yes that is correct. iTunes will shrink/optimize the resolution for both photos and videos so that they will display correct on your iPod.
My question is, what happens when it syncs back to the PC; will it destroy by overwriting the original video on my PC to that from the iPod (which is much smaller)? Same thing for pictures.
If you copy these videos and such back to your computer, these versions will still only be in their smaller resolution and iPod format. Why would you sync photos and videos back to your computer if they already stored on your computer?
