Download speed for videos and high quality videos

Hi everyone...!!! I've just ran the speedtest app on both my I pad and I pod touch and the results are the same. Download is 1.72 Mbps and upload is 0.57 Mbps. I'm guessing that this is pretty poor and is the reason a HD video on you tube takes ages to load and freezes after the film is started?? Work pays for my broadband but I would gladly pay for my own if that would enable me to get a faster connection and better downloading speeds??? Is this the case??? Thanks in advance for any guidance on this matter.......cheers. Scott.

I presume u r on 3g at those figures. My ADSL on iPad is 12 mps down and around 0.8 up BUT like others here streaming is still slow, as is browsing. I have tried everything here and I do mean everything. It's been 6 weeks now since 4.2.1 was 'let loose' and personally I've had enough. My analogy is I bought a 'car' to commute on a highway at 110kph and after its first service it now does 40kph and the service dpt wont return my calls for help. I have tried servicing it my self, changed oil, rotated tyres etc all of which were vain attempts, heck I've even BLAMED THE BOWSER the fuel comes out of.
Well if my iPad was a car I know what I would be doing. Take it back and have it replaced???? not when I know the same model has the same issue. If it were a car I would be saying "mate I'll walk to work till the new model comes out". I know this is a rant but I have had enough. I will include my latest service attempt tip and perhaps this post wont be deleted.
The following tip helped somewhat .... I am now up to 48kph.
Set router to Wireless G only.  Set Router to WPA2 only. (make sure you dont have any old devices) (WPA2 is the most secure, and uses AES encyrption which has no overhead or slow down on your data) Set router to Manual channel selection, then pick channel 6, I actually found 3 slightly better, see if it helps, if not go back and select channel 11, if not then put it back on automatic. Go to router toolbox and then turn off Extended security which is found in UpNp settings  Also try turning browsing interception off (its normally in the configuration page).
cheers

Best Settings for YouTube's HIgh Quality Video

I see YouTube has a new "high quality" video option that uses H.264 video at 480 x 360. If I want to take full advantade of this format how should I build my videoo to upload? I assume I should use H.264, but Premiere doesn't have an option to do so at 480x360.

After numerous trials and extensive searches on forums (with solutions way too complicated for me) this is my recipe.
(After upgrading to PE 7 I hoped that PE would do the trick, but no.)
1. Premiere Elements.
Export ("Share") to harddisk, DV-AVI, 4:3 or Widescreen doesn't matter.
2. Windows Movie Maker.
Import this AVI-file. You won't need to change or edit anything.
Just "publish" (to disk) in
WMV-format, dvd-quality (4:3 size) PAL 3,0 M.
3. You Tube.
Upload to YouTube.
Then wait (approx 10 min. per minute movietime) until the uploaded movie is released and online in high quality.
Happy uploading!
Max size is 100 Mb; but there are work arounds for that too.

FCE export settings for higher quality video

Hello. I'm a self-schooled newspaper video features producer and relative newcomer to Final Cut Express, shifting from Premium Elements. I've just begun using it to upload videos to my newspaper's finicky web system, which will only accept .flv files of a certain size. My modus operandi has been to export my videos as large .avi files, using Quicktime conversion and DV/DVCPRO/NTSC, with medium quality, with 16 bit sound set at 32 Khz. Then I run that .avi through the Adobe Flash Media Encoder with a frame rate of 15 fps, deinterlacing and resizing the screen to 640 by 480. This procedure (outlined by our former video editor) produces serviceable web quality video (You can see video that results from using these settings at http://wvgazette.com/multimedia). So, two questions: 1) I have created an 8-minute FCE music video for my band and wish to export it at a higher quality (for use on Vimeo) than these newspaper settings. Which of them do I change so that a higher quality video results without waiting all night for a massive file to upload? 2) And wthere might I turn for guidance on better understanding the Sanskrit of FCE video export settings for newbies? Thanks for any help.

The simplest way to produce good quality video for the internet is:-
1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it.
Do not mess about altering audio settings, frame rates etc.
Using the above settings an 8 minute video would be encoded in around 20 minutes (depending on computer speed) and would be well under 100MB.
Is that too big?

What has happened to download speed for any video....tv, movies

Since about 2 days ago, the download speed for purchased video has become ridiculous. A 30 minute tv show takes MORE than 30 minutes to download......it used to take about 3 minutes...or less. I rented TRON yesterday and it took over 3 hours to download......it used to take 10-15 minutes. This happens on both my 2 Macs and 1 Windows machines. My Internet connections report a solid 20MB down and 1.5 up.....on every machine and device I have. It is NOT a problem in my home system or machines. All other downloads are fine.
Something is seriously wrong with Apple's iTunes websites. I am certain that there is nothing wrong locally......no machines have changed.....and they all experience this abysmally slow service.
Netflix streams full HD fine on all machines, by the way. I wouldn't even begin to download an HD movie from iTunes until someone at Apple figures out why their service suddenly is not useable.

My box has similar issues with Multiplex D (which Film 4 and 4 Music are on). My TV is absolutely fine but my Vision box is less happy. I have the channels listed but no picture. I keep meaning to replace my aerial leads but haven't got round to it. Strange thing though is that my aerial goes to my vision box which then goes to my TV so it makes no sense as I would expect the reception to be the same or worse on the TV as with the Vison box.

How to export a complex Keynote to high quality video for DVD?

I have had dozens of attempts to turn a complex Keynote into a high quality video.
Either they turn out disappointiingly way low res
or they are very choppy with half the transitions gone
or they Cannot make the video at all
HELP.
I need to turn this project in to my client today.

If you use the DVD export in Keynote 3 with a self playing movie, the quality will be fine...just don't trust what you see on your mac screen, play it on a DVD player to check the quality. I did a test a while back and it was only the pauses that looked bad.
Read about it here:
http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=135
pay close attention to what I complain about...it's just the slide pauses, not the normal motion playback, which means selfplaying stuff looks pretty decent (though never as good as the original, but that's the fault of the DVD format, not Apple).

I am looking for a high quality video converter from MTS or M2TS format to MAC...there are loads of softwares claiming they can do it but all turned out to be disappointing qualitywise...any idea?

Please advice if you know of any solution or serious test forums.
Thanks!

Also, you didn't say for what purpose you need them converted, but this thread might ofer a clue:

IPad video editing app for HD video and Flip HD video

Hello,
Has anyone found an editing app for HD video and Flip video? I've downloaded ReelDirector only to find out they don't recognize Flip Video format and they don't really do HD, only output to HD...which is silly.
I want to be able to edit my little Flip videos and post to FaceBook and my blogs....
Help!
Thanks,
Sara

The iMovie app is for the iPod touch and iPhone. As for editing flip videos on the iPad. Now that i can use the CCK to import flip videos into the ipad. Would be nice if there was an app for editing these videos on the iPad.
Fair warning about the free Flip app in the app store. If you use it to upload videos to YouTube, it only uploads a low quality video, SD. Best bet is to use the photo app which uploads a higher quality video, night and day comparison in quality between the two apps.

IPhone High Quality Video Formats?

In our app we need to run a video that is high quality. Higher quality than the settings that quicktime pro presets output at. Does anyone know of what format settings I can use to export a high quality video to play?

I use 15 fps, because it looks better when used or converted into flash. If you just try uploading 30fps & 15 fps of the same file on youtube, you will see a change of the quality of the video.
I have never used the broadband settings for the FCP compressor .. But I will try it out.
my bad for the bump.
and I know that there are tons of post like this, but I was trying not to get this post into a huge discussion. I was just trying to get people to just post their specs just like I have. Then we could have 1 post that answered all the questions of the specs of what people use & then people wouldn't have to search through everything..

Importing high quality video through a lower-quality camera

(Final Cut 5 in a G5, 10.5.8)
The camcorder I'm using to shoot video for my Final Cut projects is a Panasonic PV-GS400, a good 3-chip mini-DV camcorder that shoots high-quality DV (original price $1500).
I would prefer not to use this camera to play the video into Final Cut, to save wear and tear on its tape drive (with tape, of course, one hour of recorded video takes one hour to play into Final Cut).
I have an inexpensive little Canon Elura 100 Mini-DV camcorder (original price $400) that could be used to play the tapes from the Panasonic into Final Cut, but if I did that, would the higher quality of the Panasonic's video be degraded to the lower level of the Canon's video when passing through?
To put it another way, can a Mini-DV tape with high quality video on it be imported through a relatively low-quality camera into Final Cut and still retain its high quality?
Thanks for any help.
Tom

Thanks much, guys. Yes, I'm using firewire. Glad to hear there's no loss of quality when the video is strained through a lesser camcorder on its way into Final Cut.
So now I'll go ahead and use the little Canon Elura as my playback/ingest camera with no worries.
I appreciate the help!
Tom

Can the MacBook Pro 15" Retina with 2.0 GHz processor handle editing high-quality videos?

Will the 2.0 GHz processor version be able to handle editing/exporting high-quality videos?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The processor can handle HD video editing without any issue, but the problem comes with the GPU, the Intel Iris Pro GPU.
That GPU is a bit better than the Intel Iris GPU included in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but it is still not good enough for serious video editing. If you make videos as a hobby or it is not an important task for you, the MacBook Pro with the Intel Iris Pro GPU may be enough, because it works with HD vide editing. However, if you need the best performance, you need to go for the most expensive MacBook Pro, that comes with a NVIDIA GPU

Will ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G?

Will there be improved video quality on youtube and other video streaming on 4G compared to existing 3G connctions? The ipad appears to dumb down video streaming in 3G compared to streaming the same thing on wifi. It is often highly pixelated and blocky, Will the new ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G, i.e. the same quality as wi-fi?

The YouTube app is made by Google. Any suggestions you have about that app should be directed to them.

Recording high quality video using a local buffer with FMS 3.5

Hello, I'm currently working on a webcam recorder to record high quality video. I had the recorder working before, but the video quality was quite poor. Instead I'm trying to use a client side buffer and then upload the buffer after recording has stopped. I thought after I unattached the video and audio from the NetStream that either a NetStream.Buffer.Empty or NetStream.Record.Stop event would be sent when the buffer was finished uploading. What is actually happening after I start recording is two NetStream.Record.Stop events are being sent in a row, so recording never really happens. Also, on the server side I'm trying to save a user name and password into a variable, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since the application script is just a bunch of callback functions. I hope someone has done something similar so they might be able to help...

Here is the client application; it's quite messy because I'm just testing things at the moment, but the functions causing the problem are probably onNetStatus, recordButton_clickHandler, and stopRecButton_clickHandler.
http://pastie.org/private/vpk6naojmvagikgxkaffha
Here is the server-side application, as you can see I commented out the variables and the code using them.
http://pastie.org/private/gp5loh1wowbzvtusspxg
I hope my code isn't unreadable. Ask me to clarify anything if you don't understand the code. Thank you.

I am having problems with video and high content webpages freezing. I am also getting pixel lines across my webpages. Maybe two or three lines. I was running os 10.4 but I just up graded to 10.6 the other day. I have 2GB of RAM.

Exactlly which model iMac do you have?
see > How to identify iMac models
Unfortunately that is not all that uncommon for the Early Intel iMac's given there age and the fact that the air intakes are probably choked with dust. Then add the extra heat caused by running a more intense OS X which is causing it to run a little warmer than normal and putting extra stress on the graphic and display components.
My 6½ year old 17" Early 2006 Core Duo w/2GB of RAM is also running 10.6.8 and is also starting to get a single line that (knock on wood) goes away after a few minutes, while many others started getting permanent ones after 2 or 3 years. One thing that I think has helped, is that about every 3 or 4 months I shutdown and vigorously vacuum out the bottom grill work and small vent under the stand to keep it running cool.
On that note: unfortunately I can only suggest that you clean your intake vents and hope that no permanent or irreversible damage has been done.

Grainy subtitles and credits in Professional Quality and High Quality mode

I need some serious help. Last year I did a movie which came out perfectly fine on my iMovie HD 08' version.
This year I just did a movie on iMovie 09' because I could not find iMovie 08', and to my surprise when I burn it on iDVD the subtitles and captions come out grainy, or in lower quality (the words are a bit cracked on the corners and edges) and I can't seem to fix it.
I tried everything:
Sharing project with iDVD - quality settings Professional and High
Exporting on HD quality to iDVD and burned on Double Layer disc w/Professional and High quality
That's four different tries and 2 days of rendering. I'm going crazy here and don't know what else to do to make the video look just like it looks in iMovie - with high quality and no grainy subtitles. Even the picture slideshow looks a bit degraded when burned from iDVD.
The entire project is 95 minutes in total. Please help!!! I need to deliver this DVD to a client next week. Thank you very much.

I'm having the same problem. Any help for this would be good!
