Embed video or stream video which works better

Can anyone give the differences between streaming video or embeding it in a web page. Why would you do one above the other. The only major difference I see is that with streaming, the server doing the streaming can be anywhere. This means less bandwith used for you web server. What other things are there.

I have about 8000 feet of very old home movies I am
going to get scanned by one of the many companies out
there that provide this service. Some will scan and
dump DV format, other will dump HDV format.
Since I'm not doing the capture and I want to use FCP
to edit and do the final composing what are the
advantages/pitfalls of the different formats? I am a
nuibe when it comes to FCP and video editing for that
matter but it appears, at least to me from what I've
read, that DV works with FCP better for editing as it
is true frame by frame reproduction. HDV on the
other hand I can only edit the i-Frames and I believe
I need to do a transcode or something on that order
to work with it FCP. Is this true?

I think you should make the most of this situation and go with Studio X's suggestion to DVCPRO HD and find a way to archive to tape or Blueray for backup. You will like the all I frame editing. If you can only find HDV 1080i you will be able to down convert with a rental Sony HDV camera to DV. Edit now in DV and have HDV on mini-dv tape for your family’s future needs. This is a no brainier. HDV is only the beginning of highly compressed formats to come and it really looks beautiful. HDV is a great acquisition method. Plus you can have HDV captured to DVCPRO HD. Have one reel done at the local place and see for yourself.
Good Luck

The problem magically solved itself by an accidental drop of my phone on the floor. Maybe you should not try this at home

H.264 vs. MPEG-4 video, which is better quality?

Which is better quality? H.264 or MPEG-4? Is one more compressed than the other? I'm putting video on my iPod and also may want to output to television from the iPod, so I'd also like to know which is better for that as well in addition to which is better in general.

H.264 is significantly more compressed than typical MPEG-4. MPEG-4 naturally would be better quality to the discerning eye, and is not as dependent on the speed of your processor and the strength of your GPU as H.264 is. I managed to get a 320 x 240 video of H.264 compressed to be 200 Megabytes for a 2.5 hour video. On a G5 iMac 1.8 Ghz the playback was fine. Trying the same video on a slower Mac there was significant amount of stuttering of the video itself. Experiment with some one minute shorts and measure the file size and see which has better quality on what you are playing it back on. If you can tell the difference, then go with the higher quality format. Certainly keep a higher quality format burnt to DVD in case you need to recreate from the original.

Why does streaming video not work?

I have almost always had trouble streaming video....form Youtube and Netflix and other streams...and I don't know why! What needs to work better for streaming? Is a 3G hotspot connection not fast enough?? What do I need to do to make this seemingly simple operation run smooth?

3G is a painfully slow cellular connection. You would be much better off with a high speed internet connection. Cable or DSL depending on what may be offered in your area.

Which is better...s-video or Apple AV cable

Anyone care to share their experiences with which cable brought better results...the s-video from a Universal Dock or the Apple A/V kit that plugs into the headphone jack?
How do those compare to the DLO product? I have a 56" DLP widescreen TV so I'm not sure anything is going to look that great but I wanted to see if anyone could steer me in the right direction. Thanks.

Well,
I'm not trying to insult, but s-video should be better than composite seeing as s-video separates color from b/w, while composite has it all on the same line. S-video should produce a higher quality image than composite. As for it vs. the DLO product, I'm not sure, but I'll let you know after I return my Apple AV kit to CompUSA today and see what else they have. They belkin version looks pretty nice...
I'd completely exclude the apple AV kit for the simple fact that you can't navigate the ipod's standard menus. You can only go back and forth through playlists. It *****! Very un-apple. Shame.
My 2 cents...

Audio+Video Chat works but one small problem.Pls help.

HI..
as i had posted once before in a different query's thread, i have implemented audio and video chat using AVTRansmit2 and avreceive2.
audio and video chat work well.By video chat i mean not only video but VIDEO+AUDIO as well.. just like usual yahoo video chat.
But the problem is like this:-=
I have given an option for user to switch from audio chat to video chat.
now if a user first goes to audio chat and then switched to video chat,
then the problem comes. When he's shifted to video chat i close down previous Audio chat by RTPManager.dispose() , i close the player and everything..
and then i start Video transmit/receive "ALONG WITH" audio transmit/receive..
No this time video starts but audio doesnt work ..
it says"waiting for rtp data to arrive.... "
The problem is that when this new stream of audio data comes, the receiver somehow thinks that its the same old stream since its from same transmitter IP.. and so it tries to UPDATE the previous stream.
It means there is some problem with the close method or RTPManager.dispose() which should have disposed off all the stuff much before the new connection was made.
PLS HELP ASAP>
this is crunch time for my project.

Hi anandreyvk . .
well, i had tried doing removetargets and also, i had disposed RTPManager well. As it turns out the problem was not with any of it but it was the problem of me incorrectly passing RTPManager from AVReceive2 to AVTransmit2.
Actually i am using just one RTPManager.. since i am receiving and transmitting on the same port.
i've solved the problem but i am not sure if this is the right way .. what do you think ??
is creating just one RTPManager {by that,i mean initializing it only once} a good idea ?? Since we are supposed to call both AVTransmit2 and AVReceive2 with the "LOCAL PORT" .. {which in itself is a matter of discussion though! } i and my project mate thought initializing RTPManager only once is a better option .
Whats your take on all of this ?

Embed Video options??

Hi all,
I have a little video i made, which i embedded into the
timeline. This video has a build up at the beginning, then doesnt
have "an ending" ... because im hoping to be able to make a loop
kind of effect.
this is what i've got right now...but it doesnt work quite
right...
i have the video embedded into another movieClip. called
video_mc
The video goes on for 150 frames.
on a Layer above that, i have another instance of the
MovieClip, on Frame 100
on Frame 150, of the first instance, i have the action
video_mc.gotoAndPlay(51);
when the (gotoAndPlay() ) command is reached, it takes
roughly 2seconds for the playhead to start playing....not a verry
good loop. =)
Im trying to get the second clip to start playing the first
50 frames (above the other instance's last 50 frames), then go back
to frame 51 of the first instance.
i hope that makes sence... Each MovieClip has a LayerStyle of
SCREEN, so that i can see through it.
Im hoping someone has a better suggestion for achieving this
loop im looking for.
Let me know if this is too hard to understand....because im
not verry good at explaining things. =)

IChat Video Not Working since PSP3 bought!!

Hi guys,
ichat video not working since I bought and installed a new Playstation 3. I have a BT HUB that connects wirelessly with the imac. I have BT Vision running from the HUB too via ethernet wall boost adapters. I had this problem with video when i installed the BT Vision. And turned out to be something to do with Application Sharing settings on the HUB. I resolved it by correctly sharing AIM TALK with my wireless imac. Now the same problem has arisen since the psp3 was put on. But even with all the things I've tried I am stuck as how to get the video up and running as before. The devices running off the hub include:
1. imac (wireless via Airport Extreme)
2. BT Vision via ethernet and wall adaptors
3. iPod touch via wireless
4. PSP3 via wireless plug and play
I have checked all the ip address for these devices and have enabled app sharing for the imac wireless to AIM TALK in BT HUB manager. I have also opened my firewalls; changed the port setting to 443 in ichat preferences; re-set the HUB/Router;
Is there anything else I can do or check? As I said it worked perfectly before the psp3 went onto the
network. Should i assign AIM TALK to the imac wireless or to some of the other devices? (though I think I've tried that too!!)
Help would be much appreciated as this is driving me to insanity, if I wasn't there already!!!!
Take care, and thanks in advance for your help.

"speedtouch modem!"
Yes you do.
Thomson-Alcetel who make the Speedtouch range make this device for BT.
The Firmware is Thomson-Alcatels with BT Logo-ing.
This Ethernet 3 connection is probably internal.
Have you got System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming set to 1.5Mbps ?
If not then do and restart iChat to see the new speed.
In Leopard the Automatic setting is read by iChat as 384K.
This may be allowing the PS3 to have too much of the bandwidth.
I or rather my son has a X-Box 360 which can be on-line when I video chat and it works for me, as it does when he uses his PlayStation 3
If the AIM talk setting uses the same port here as it is listed elsewhere then it has only opened/allowed port 5190.
This would have appeared to have been coincidental to any iChat use when you changed it.
Are you not using UPnP in this device ?
Which firmware is it up to ?
Anything above 6.2.2.6 should work.
Anything starting with 6 and containing letters is later.
In the .telephony section does it mention which port are open ?

Embed Video in an App.

*Hi Community,*
I'm new in development and just started with Xcode and Objective-C.
I had first experiences with the interface, and handling of the dev-tools.
I want to make an app which plays an video which is split in 3 parts.
When you start the App, the first Video should start immediately. After the Video is finished with playing, it should freeze in the last frame.
Now if the user touches the screen, the next Video should be shown without a brake among the Videos.
The second Video should play to the last frame too, and freeze aggain.
Then after a touch, the third video should appear, without a brake too, and afterwards the app should end automatically.
I hope I've described my problem close enough.
Please don't flame me to death, I've used the search function,
but found nothing what was really usefull.
Hope that someone could help me!
Greetings
Florian

Anythings possible....
But I'm having a hard time imagining the current hardware/software supporting three discrete video window playbacks - it is still one screen, so three unique streams may not be an issue tho. Maybe if/when the platform makes a leap in processing power etc. You didn't say anything about capturing video, so if that is a requirement for your project, you'll need to wait just a bit longer as well.
Get a prototype working with one video display first, then start adding more and see how far you get

Straming video doesnt work.

Streaming video doesnt work. Video in Skype is OK. Play locally stored video OK in MediaPlayer as well as iTunes. Downloaded Adobe Flash and Shockwave. Still no steraming after restart of PC.

Hi,
Can you please cross check the following :
1. The rtmp URL is edited accordingly to point to the correct FMS server instead of localhost etc.
2. The above code snippet should be bundled as an AIR app and published for iOS.
If you are using HTTP instead of RTMP, you need to follow HLS streaming for iOS which makes use of the HTML5 video tags instead of any flash/AIR based applications. Please let us know if you are looking for this.
Thank you !

Some videos not working on 60G (did not update). Hard drive issue?

Help! My Ipod hates me
Having big problems with some video files freezing up after anywhere between 30 minutes and some not able to even start. These same files worked fine a few months ago. However some movie files still work fine and all the music files still work.
When this problem happens it seems like the hard drive is trying to read the file because I can feel the ipod slightly vibrating but sometimes the video stops and sound continues and other times the whole file just stops.
Things I've tried so far:
1)restored and reset (multiple times)
2)reversed the update from 1.1 to 1.0
3)tried multiple dvd to ipod programs (cucusoft, videora, super ipod, streamclip)
4)MUX'ed with YAMB
5)tried different speeds of converting dvd to ipod
6)bought 1 hour video from itunes which works fine
7)screamed at and insulted my ipod multiple times. It didn't work but it sure felt good.
8)these same files seem to work perfectly on a friends brand new 60G ipod.
9)all movies play perfectly on my desktop with quicktime and itunes.
Maybe I'm jumping the gun here but I fear this may be a hard drive vs board issue but thought I would see if anyone else has any other suggestions or similar problems.
Ugh! As I sit here and write this I just reset (not restored) my ipod, and now all the files are gone. CRAP!
My ipod hates me.

Fixed Layout ePub - please help me embed video and/or use Folio overlay with web content

Hi
I have an In Design file used to create a print book (11"x11") and have decided to use CC 2014 to create a fixed-layout ePub 3 for a digital version. I converted the book over with minor issues of having to change the font and it looks beautiful.
I would like to add videos at the end of the book to take advantage of the flexibility of the digital format. I create a year-end slideshow of my photos and host them on Vimeo.
I have tried the following:
Using the Vimeo standard embed code in an HTML element
Using the old flash Vimeo embed code and converting to HTML - worked great on iBooks on Mac but not on iPhone/iPad as flash-based
Hosting and linking to videos on my own web server and using the Media - insert video link to the mp4 file
Hosting and linking to videos on my old photo server at smugmug.com
I can embed the actual videos but, at their smallest size they increase the file size of the ePub from 78MB to 400MB...
I then thought I would use a Folio Overlay - Web Content.
The idea is to use this blank page on my website which would look for all intents and purposes like another white page in the book - 2012 Slideshow - Oren Photography
The overlay works in Folio Preview but not when exported as an ePub
Is this a limitation of the ePub format?
Any help/advice/suggestions on fixing this are greatly appreciated.
E

Thanks again Steve and Bill
My interest in embedding videos was largely to minimize the final file size and amount of space used on each person's device. I ended up following your advice about using Adobe Media Encoder to minimize the size of each slideshow but it still increased the final ePub from 65 MB to over 200 MB. And that was with video quality that was far inferior from what I could offer through an embed or, my final solution, a link out to my website.
I happen to be of the same thought as Bill that most people are now connected to the internet and would favor a smaller file with access to online content over a very large file. I would have liked to embed the videos and allow 720p quality inside the ePub over the link I ended up settling for.

How Well Will Video Podcasting Work?

How well will video podcasting work on a Mac Mini, an iBok, and a PowerBook? I'm going to get a Mac (no doubts here) and I want to do some podcasting (preferably video podcasting) and i was wondering which to get I don't doubt that all of them could do it exceptionally well. I was just wondering if I could do it well with the Mac Mini or iBook, but I could get the PowerBook but I would have to wait about an extra month to get it (money reasons). Almost forgot to mention I've done video podcasting with a friend to help him test it out and it went well, so I thought i would do it too when i get my Mac, but I was wondering ehich would be best.

You have landed in the iSight Discussions area. I do NOT podcast, so I cannot answer your questions directly.
If you intend to use GarageBand for your podcasting, you may get better advice in GarageBand 3 Discussions.
If you intend to use GarageBand and the other iLife 06 apps for your podcasting, any computer that meets the iLife: System Requirements should work.
If you are considering different software, check the system requirements for those applications to be sure you get compatible equipment.

Embed Video in Word Acrobat 9

Okay, I've lloked at seom of the forum post, but could not find an answer. Here's my dilemna. We have a full license of Acrobat 9 Pro. When using Word, I try to embed a video via the Embed Video option in the Acrobat tab. However, that option is not avaiolabel. Insearching teh forums and internet, I found that Actobat 9 Pro Extended has that option. I downloaded a trial. While installing, it told me that I hasd a higher version of Acrobat 9 (Pro). So here are myu questions:
Is Pro better thatn Extended?
Is the Embed Video option availbale in Word with Acrobat 9?
If Embed Video options is not availabel, is there an add-in or plug-in to do this w/ Acrobat 9 Pro installed?
Thanks in advanced,
Clyde
