DAM: video conversion alternatives to FlipFactory

Hi all,
my goal is to implement a video conversion solution using UCM+DAM.
As an alternative to FlipFactory i found info on how to configure and use FFMpeg (gpl license).
I have 2 questions:
- are there any alternative to FFMpeg?
- what are the limitations of FFMpeg versus FlipFactory?
Thanx in advance
F.

Hello!
I'm interesting for the video conversion with FFmpeg. Can you show me info on how to configure and use FFMpeg, please?
Thanks,
Viktor

Problem in DAM video conversion

Hi,
I am using Webcenter Content 11.1.1.8.0 and I configured IBR for video conversion.
When I uploadmp4 video file, I am getting below error,
Content item 'Content000242' was not successfully checked in. Unable to set the default rendition set for DAM conversion
I have seen the below instructions in documentation that I need to update config file.
1. Open the following directory of your Content Server instance:
<IntradocDir>/config/
2. Open the config.cfg file in a standard text editor.
3. Under the #Additional Variables section, add DefaultVideoConversionSet and set
it equal to the factory you want as the default rendition set. The default must
match a rendition set in the choice list of the VideoConversions metadata field,
defined using the Configuration Manager applet.
4. Save changes to the config.cfg file and close the file.
5. Restart Content Server
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10800.pdf
Pg 85 and 86.
What is the value I should put in config. file.
DefaultVideoConversionSet = {What Value Goes Here}.
Please let me know if I need to do any other configuration.
Thanks

Faster video conversions than itunes?

ive tried usind the itunes video conversions and its agonizing slow is there any program i can download thats faster at converting videos to mp4?

ive tried usind the itunes video conversions and its agonizing slow is there any program i can download thats faster at converting videos to mp4?
The QT preset used by iTunes is a high quality, H.264, multi-pass conversion and, therefore, very slow. If you have QT Pro installed, you can always perform the conversion in the single pass mode which would take half as long or switch to the MPEG4/AAC converter in either single or multi-pass mode -- both of which are faster than the more complex H.264 codec but require larger files for the same level of quality.
If you don't have QT Pro installed, then you can download MPEG Streamclip (free) and use the iPod H.264 preset which is, by default, a single-pass converter. If you go this route, be sure to read the instructions carefully regarding the QT Player vs the alternative QT and MPEG2 codec installation.

Is my video conversation hacked?

Hi
I was having a video conversation with my gf and after that she has been getting random add requests from many people. This is scary because she never got any requests in the past and it started happening only after the video chat. I fear our conversation was hacked and recorded by some hacker. I also suspect that her machine was not completely secure as later when she tried to change her account information and privacy options, skype closed unexpectedly several times and changes didnt get saved. Although, she has an Antivirus installed and a complete scan yielded no suspicious virus/malware. I cant think of any other reason why a person at the other end of world is able to find her account.
I am really very scared that the video could be leaked on porn sites if it may have been recorded. Is there a way to ascertain this? Need help on this urgently.

How can I change the default video conversion applied when I copy an AVI file from my PC to my Android HTC One M8 phone?

Here's the situation...
I have an Android HTC One M8 phone which I connect via USB cable to my PC, then I use Windows Explorer to drag and drop an AVI file from my PC onto a target folder on the phone. When I would do this after I had first purchased my phone a message box
would come up with the heading "Convert and Copy" and ask me "Do you want to convert <filename> before it's copied to your device?" and give me the options "Yes, convert and copy (recommended)" or "No, just
copy Your file will be copied, but might not play on your device."
If I chose to convert it converted the file to MP4. No problem, that's what I wanted.
The problem I now have is that after doing some work with other video applications a while ago where I was outputting WMV files I now find that the default conversion for the above described copy from PC to Android phone now converts files to WMV.
I simply want it to go back to converting video files copied to my phone as MP4, but I can't seem to find where I can set this!
It appears that the copy/conversion process in Explorer is being handled in the "Portable Devices Shell Extension" dll - WPDSHEXT.DLL
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set the default video conversion back to MP4 ???
Thanks

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

Is there a way to shorten iMovie video conversion ?

I am starting with a "m2ts" video file.
I purchased a video conversion program from the Mac App Store.   It is called “AnyVideo converter HD". It is well reviewed.
So, I dropped in my "m2ts" file. I set the conversion to "Computer MOV 720p HD". "AnyVideo converter HD" converted a 1 minute video in about 15 seconds to a "mov".   The converted file had excellent picture quality and sound, it played perfectly using QuickTime.
When I dropped this 60 second clip into iMovie 06 (set for 720p) it's conversion process took 35 minutes ?!?!   The result was flawless! However, a two-hour video conversion would not be complete until about the time Capt. Kirk joins Starfleet.
How can I speed this up ?

baltwo - thank you for the expert advice.
I did as you instructed and the situation is better but I don't believe it's solved.
I still get 3 versions of Photoshop when I right click on a PSD. I also get Dashcode and Textwrangler - which are the oddest associations. All together I get 25 apps responding to "Open With" on a PSD. And this is an improvement.
Do you think I would get even better results if I ran the same command again?
Thanks again.

ZEN Vision M 30GB Video Conversion problem: black scr

My husband cannot display any video on his ZEN Vision M 30 GB. Any video converted comes over with ONLY audio, black screen (? no video display )This happened with the original firmware and software. I updated firmware and did all available software updates; no change. I had a previous ZEN Vision M 30GB, which did not have any problem with video conversion and display.Are there any known problems with specific Media Player versions, or QuickTime ?which may be a potential cause of this problem?( I have heard that this product works best with Media Player 9. )Anyone had similar problems, or have any ideas?Thanks,Ravenquille

Problem apparently solved: Last night, I downloaded and installed the free program, SUPER. My husband has not had a problem so far; been working beautifully! Ravenquille

Can't get video conversation to work

Hey, I'm still trying to switch from Windows to Mac.
I set up two AIM accounts and logged in on a PC and a Mac respectively.
But whatever I do, the video conversation icon just won't light up.
Does anyone have any clue?

Hotshot video conversion resolution? No full screen ever?

I have the Pantech Hotshot. The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high. When I convert a video to that resolution the phone always reduces it to 320 wide instead of filling the screen to the 400 wide and makes the 240 high even smaller. If I convert the video to a larger size it makes the video on screen even smaller. The only video resolution that works decent is 320x240 which fills the screen top to bottom but leaves black bars right and left. If its the phone software that's doing it than what's the point of having a screen 400x240 if you can never view a video in that screen filling resolution? And the video player has no option to zoom or fill the screen. What is the best resolution to convert a video to view on this phone to fill the screen completely like every phone I've ever had was able to do? Thanks

"The screen resolution of the phone is 400wide x 240high.

If I convert the video to a larger size it makes the video on screen even smaller."
I think you have not found the solution to your situation. We have a non-smartphone (Samsung u370) that, like your phone, has a screen resolution of 400x240 and, like your phone, seemingly won't play a video at the correct resolution when the video is a resolution that exceeds 320x240.
On this u370 phone while playing a video, there are icons on the screen one of which looks like an "X" with arrows at the end of each of the ends of the "X". Tapping this icons causes the video player to expand the video so that now it's playing at the full horizontal resolution of 400.
The video player on our flip phones works the same way. Our LG vx8370 has a 320x240 screen. When I play a 320x240 video, initially the video players plays the video at a resolution of 240 x something. When I push up on the directional pad, then the phone expands the video and then plays it at 320x240.
One more thing. My experience on two different Verizon non-smartphones is the same when it comes to playing widescreen videos -- when I play a video of a resolution such that I have to select the option to expand the video so that the video is playing at the full horizontal resolution of the video, the video player won't show the correct vertical resolution of the widescreen video. Instead, the video player stretches the video to fill the vertical resolution of the phone's screen. While that is tolerable to me for a 16x9 video, my preference is that I find a stretched 2.35:1 video to look unwatchable. The only way that I can preserve the aspect ratio of the widescreen video is to use a video conversion tool that lets me pad the video with blank lines. FFmpeg and mencoder are two tools that have this padding option. So this is what I came up with. Suppose I have a 16:9 widescreen video. The video would need to be about 400x224. Since the video player software on the Verizon non-smartphones will play incorrectly by showing a video stretched to fill the whole screen, I'll need to use the padding command in ffmpeg and add 16 blank lines -- 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video. The ffmpeg command for that is
scale=400:224,pad=400:240:0:8
ffmpeg will scale the video to 400x224. The pad command tells ffmpeg that the converted video will have a total of 240 vertical lines of which 224 are the video and 16 of which are blank lines. The "8" tells ffmpeg how to center the video -- there'll be 8 lines above the video and 8 lines below the video.
Since ffmpeg uses a command line interface, two free graphic user interfaces for ffmpeg that I like are Avanti and Pazera:
http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Avanti
http://www.pazera-software.com/products/audio-extractor/
Pazera uses an older version of ffmpeg which can be updated after installing pazera by, if I remember correctly, just deleting the older ffmpeg file and replacing it with the new one.

Video Conversations with PC

I found similar questions, but I still am not clear on this topic. How can an iMac have a video conversation with people using PC's?? (Without having to pay for AOL on their side {AIM}, or having to sign up with AOL or Javver on my side).
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)
iMac & MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi,
AIM is actually free to use for both Mac and Windows PC.
(There's no need to sign up for the AOL service). You can register for an AIM screen name on this page. Once you have registered, ignore it when it asks you do download the AIM client. Instead, configure iChat with your new screen name.
As an alernative to iChat, you could use Skype, which is a free download for Mac and PC.
Both programs have their ins and outs. I would suggest trying both to see which one works best. I hope this helps!
Thanks,
Glen

Creative Vision:M, best video conversion program(freeware or softwar

I recently got a creative vision:m and love it, but i cannot figure out whether or not my recently purchased "23 Copy DVD Gold Edition" software is worth the fifty bucks i had to pay. Does anyone know of online freeware etc that works well and produces good quality video conversion (esp. from .mp4 to .avi etc.). I know there is a free converter that comes with the program but when i tried it the videos played slightly choppy on my vision:m. When i used .avi format, there was no such problem. Thanks

Problem apparently solved: Last night, I downloaded and installed the free program, SUPER. My husband has not had a problem so far; been working beautifully! Ravenquille

Best practice video conversion from download

I am looking for best practice for video conversions.
I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:
http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip
From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).
My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.
I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.
What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's
Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in
standard video editing software for editing.

Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is
signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I
sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need
first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then
lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.
Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process,
but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last
file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has
serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common

Compressor Simple Video Conversion

I simply want to covert QuickTime video to Real Media or Windows Media... the instructions for this are nothing but a maze of run around confusion.... "add plug-ins" that can't be found... compressor won't let me select Real Media as a choice even though Real Media shows up in the applications section.
I am extremely sorry I invested in a Mac after years of successful, simple video conversion on my old pc. I needed a new machine because my pc was getting old. My Mac experience from sales, consultation and beyond has been an absolute pain in the... kester!!!

Hi:
You can use Flip4Mac to encode to WMV:
