Encoding video with NERO 7

Anyone here use NERO 7 to encode video with the IPOD-AVC profile or IPOD profile? curious about success or not..

The AVC or Advanced Video Codec / H.264 the MPEG-4 Standard is as smooth as glass. Very hardware intensive and time consuming depending on the size of your file. I reserve this for music videos and family video that I have captured to DVI. I am running a Windows machine dedicated to video work, P4 HT 3.6 overclocked to 4.1 and running liquid cooling and 4Gb of Ram.

Video with nero problem

i want to know if i can make nero convert my dvds with a constant bit rate of 2.5 mbps and not a vbr, and make the audio louder than what nero default is.

Hi Harm,
For file playback on Nero or WMP on consumer systems. If I set the video render to 48k my convertor and montior system complain and sound best at 44.1k when the videow as renderd rendered at 44.1k. I am trying to just get the files out to folks to be able to watch. I figured they cannot adjust the rates like I can at the studio. Eventually we will render at 24/96 for the final DVD burn.
Thanks,
Eric

Encoding videos with closed captioning / subtitles

Now that closed captioning is supported on videos rented / purchased from iTMS, it is clear that the functionality is now supported on the Apple TV. Is anyone aware of any tool(s) that allow subtitles to be included? I already can embed the subtitles into the video using the various tools, but I am seeking a way to have true closed captioning that can be toggled on / off.
As far as I know, the MP4 container does not support any type of subtitles in the container format. Therefore, Apple must be using a different format for its videos. Is it proprietary or some standard container format?

Do not confuse Subtitles with Closed Captioning. For now, the only way to support subtitles is to place them in the video.

ATV3: Encoding videos with DD5.1 sound?

Hi,
I've started to convert recordings from my set top box (topfield satellite receiver) via PC and to move them into the iTunes libary.
The recordings are being taken from various FTA stations in Europe.
I'm using ProjectX to cut the raw files coming from my satellite receiver - and FormatFactory to convert it into MP4 format.
Afterwards, I move the MP4-file to iTunes - and play it (via homesharing) on my ATV3 in the living room.
This works fine as long as I take normal stereo (2-channel)-settings for encoding the MP4 file.
If I'm going to use 6 channels (5.1), ATV3 doesn't playback the file anymore - it gets stuck at the beginning of the movie.
The "fun" is: On my PC I can play this file within iTunes, which is in contradiction with the public opinion "if it works on iTunes, it works on your ATV as well".
So, can someone of you tell me, if it's a bug in the ATV software - or do I need to use some special settings, to be able to enjoy 5.1 audio on self-recorded shows?
(btw...the recording DOES contain 5.1 AC3 audio)
Thanks,
Boby

Hi AC,
thank you - since I've given up on FormatFactory and using Handbrake, everything seems to work fine.
Seems to have to do with the predefined settings for ATV3 - also, the produced mp4-file is 30% smaller than using other tools, even handbrake is a bit slower (approx 10 minutes slower per movie, but that's still acceptable).
Thanks for the hint - I'll keep using ProjectX for cutting (cuts out the ads of my .rec files within approx 60 seconds for a 90 min. movie, because it doesn't need a re-encoding). The cutted .rec-file will be fed directly into handbrake - and then later moved to iTunes - works perfectly.

Zen doesn't play .m4a encoded with Nero AAC encoder = Creative, please create a firmware f

The Zen doesn't play AAC encoded with Nero's AAC encoder, which is unfortunate since it's the best one out there. It does, however, support iTunes-encoded AAC. There was a brief discussion on it elsewhere, but I'd like to focus the discussion here on:. Request for firmware fix by Creative, so the Zen will read the files: ple2. A fix to get the files to play in the current firmware?Many of the references in this forum to wishlists, tools etc. are dead links, so hopefully?this thread will generate some answers for those of us out there with sizeable Nero AAC-encoded?music libraries.

Very Good!!
I'd just like to report that m4a files made with winamp and then repackaged with your application have a problem in fast forward and rewind. That is, (Sorry for my English, please try to understand) when you fast forward to a point, the player correctly jumps to the desired point, but, after that, the playback bar starts again from 00:00:00, even if the player is in the middle of the song.
Anyway, this doesn't corrupt playback quality and doesn't create audio gaps; moreover, it just happens with the zen, while winamp works correctly.

Stream video with Adobe Flash Media encoder

Looking for a video camera capable of streaming video with

What camara should I buy?

I'm not sure if the Vixia series can be used to provide realtime video to a PC. They're not really designed for this purpose - they are primarily recording devices.

DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
Here are the details.
1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
3) Start MPEG Streamclip
4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
(let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
11) Open iMovie.
12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

Sleep Display not staying asleep when encoding video

Hello,
I am looking for a way to turn the display off and KEEP it off with applications running as normal, until I want to wake it up. It is not always staying asleep.
I have a hot corner set up so that I can instantly turn my iMac display off (including the backlight). This works fine most of the time, but when running certain applications, activating sleep display works for a few seconds then stops working and the screen comes back to life.
Example applications which cause this are iTunes when encoding a video (e.g. converting a movie to iPod format), iSquint when encoding video, iDVD when encoding and burning a DVD - seems to be anything that makes heavy use of the processor.
I have tried all sorts of things to get around this:
1. setting the sleep display timer to 1 minute in the Energy Saving settings
2. 3rd party application and widget "Sleep Display" (http://linestreet.googlepages.com/home) which claims to make the display go to sleep and STAY asleep, suggesting "This version may work for people who experienced the monitor going off then coming right back on" - which indicates that it's not just me having the problem. This "Sleep Display" application doesn't work with Leopard though; the author acknowledges this and suggests he will update it if he upgrades to 10.5
3. different application - http://www.imalc.com/Site/SleepDisplay.html - this does the same as the hot corner and wakes up within a few seconds
4. sleep display tool in Dockables - same problem
5. "shades" system preference add-on, this makes the screen black and keeps it black but doesn't turn the backlight off
6. tried hiding the offending application, moving it to another space - nothing seems to work!
7. covering the imac with clothes - not ideal!
Thanks for your help!
Jim
P.S. the screensaver does stay on - so whatever is waking the sleep display isn't disturbing the screen saver - this suggests to me it's a bug. Obviously a black screensaver isn't the solution though - the backlight is still on.

I've got a very the similar problem. Brand new iMac 24" that shipped with Leopard -- my first Mac after jumping ship fom the Windoze side.
I had iTunes updating it's album artwork and since it was taking a while, I went to bed. When I turned out my light, I realized the screen had not yet gone to sleep (a good 15 minutes after it should have). So I set up a Hot Corner to put the display to sleep. When I put the mouse there, the monitor would go to sleep, but wake up within 10 seconds. At first I thought it was just the mouse moving as I walked away, but it wasn't.
I ended up turning the computer off because the big beautiful screen was throwing too much light. Since, I rarely turn my computers off and they're usually doing SOMETHING, this is really annoying.
Admittedly, I haven't tried some othe the potential solutions above, but this has to be the same bug. Screen saver stays on, monitor comes out of sleep.
Any help would be.....well.....helpful.

Encoded video doesn't work on Toshiba Blu-ray disc player

I have a problem that I am trying to encode a sequence of frames in a video container , but the encoded video doesn't work on toshiba blu ray disc player .. I am using the following ffmpeg command to encode frames and convert them to a video:
ffmpeg -i "C:\ManVsWigan\Frames\%d.png" -vcodec libx264 "C:\ManVsWigan\encoded.mp4"
I tried multiple video codecs but no luck yet
"-vcodec mpeg4"
"-vcodec mpeg2video"
If you have any idea please help me

The BluRay player leverages parts of Windows DirectShow but won't serve very well as a general player since Windows will load other players for the majority of media formats.
You can get away with a limited amount of tampering of the BluRay's players tolerance of media files until you violate some far away written DRM safeguard and kneecapping the BluRay player from doing anything.
If you're trying to validate your ffmpeg composed tests of your content as part of the editing process, you're better to avoid relying on the BluRay player that is purposed for narrow replay of licensed content and equipped with oversensitive safeguards susceptible to malfunctioning from the invasions of video pirates like you defined by studio executives.
You and I understand you're not a pirate but chances aren't being taken.
Whether you just dowloaded FFmep in the macho exe format or part of the millions of other packages that include it, you can tune your players to codecs pretty easily with the KLite Codec Manager or the Registry.
Chances are you already know about KLite since editing video on Windows eventually requires it and its hard to walk down the street without eventually kiceking over a copy. But just in case you've been living on a Martian cave with your hands over your ears, snag a mirrored copy from: http://codecguide.com /download_kl.htm
I like KLite more than others because it is fairly unobtrusive and avoids stomping over other media tools the way Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas enslaves Windows and can neuter BluRay codecs without always adequately replacing them. I can cite threads on the matter but just googling for anything such as "Adobe Premier killed my BluRay" or "Sony Vegas ruined Windows" will usually return desperate strings of posts long enough to wrap around Jupiters equator.
For general maintenance of Windows poor codec management, grab this noninstalling executable http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/installed_codec.html to determine if Windows believes it has the same codecs you thought it did and you'll likely be surprised by the fine tuning you'll need to perform.

Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264 encoded videos on my 10.4.11 MacMini

Hello:
This is my first post. I read through the forums and this seems to be the correct place to pose my question. If it's not, my apologizes.
I'm trying to find out why Quicktime 7.6.4 won't play h264-encoded video on my MacMini (G4 PPC). I'm running 10.4.11. I recently installed Perian 1.2.1 and it got some .avi files to play correctly, whereas before there was no sound. But the h264 files still get me a black screen, albeit with sound now. Some h264 files can be played in VLC Media Player (but that's a horrible player compared to Quicktime in my opinion, as it constantly drops frames and eats 100% of my processor time), but VLC even has the black screen problem on some h264 files as well.
I've also tried MPlayer OSX but that's really an alpha-type development and has a lot of bugs. Many movies it can't even open.
Sorry for the rambling, but again my question: Is there any way to play h264-encoded video in Quicktime 7.6.4 on my Mac?
Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice.

Mr Ram,
There is a group of Quicktime specialists in Apple.com ⇒ Support ⇒ Discussions ⇒ Quicktime .
The more data you give us, the easier it is to help us help you to diagnose your problem. Your disk space would be very useful. Contrary to some, I advocate iDefrag to assist VLC and MPlayer, which you were a little hard on.
GNU/Linux's free offerings
MPlayer was developed a decade ago, and I prefer it for viewing DVDs (for 'DVD Player') seems too dark. VLC (legally) copies many CRM-protected DVDs of yours, so you can play only the burned copy. When I'm having a problem playing a DVD, the VLC log tells me all: only perfect DVDs play well on VLC.
There are two ways of viewing everything.
Streaming MPEG-4
+H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ is a fancy codec based upon MPEG-4: it requires a powerful processor to de-compress it. I watched an MPEG-4 movie from a G3 iBook in 2005. It played flawlessly.
Your Problem
Quicktime 7.X applications can not play +H.264/MPEG-4 AVC+ streams. It was a bug Apple never fixed. Frames are dropped because H.264 is so slow that it requires special hardware. You, I'm sad to say, don't have it.
To quote the Wikipedia on Quicktime: 'QuickTime 7 lacks support for H.264's Sample Aspect Ratio .[67] QuickTime X does not have this limitation; many Apple products (such as iTunes and Apple TV) still use the older QuickTime 7 engine.'
My Quicktime Pro on a PPC PowerBook is 7.6.4. You can either use a Linux transplant or upgrade to Quicktime X. Those more familiar with Macs may have better ideas for you.
My best,
Bruce

HOW CAN YOU WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH CC ON? THIS FRUSTRATES ME A LOT. THANKS.

So, I am kinda confused. I searched around the net and all that, and I found out that there's this thing in setting where you turn on the "closed-captioning". So I turned it on and tried watching videos in YouTube but IT didn't work. Also, I remember one time that I can use CCin YouTube. it's weird.
I remember that they said if the Cc were encoded in quicktimes you can see the CC but if it's flash you can't. So I figured it's impossible to watch YouTube videos with CC. However, if anyone knows another way to watch with CC on YouTube, tell me please. Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't know if there is a way.
Also, just to be picky....would you be kind enough to avoid using all caps in your title?

Encoding Video for DVD?

I want to make a DVD that will play in home players, though I do not need to make a menu using DVD SP. Is there a way to encode video straight from FCP into a file that will play in a DVD player?
Thanks.

This is really a question for the DVDSP forum, but the sum of it is that you use Compressor to encode your video to MPEG2 and your audio to 2 channel Dolby, then import those two files into DVDSP as Assets and drop them into the Timeline in DVDSP.
That will be Track 1, so select the disc in the Outline and in the Inspector, and you should find a drop down menu to make Track 1 the First Play. That's basically it, but I usually do one or two other things.
One: If this is for a trade show, or even a client approval disc, I'll set the Jump To for Track 1 to be Track 1. That will cause it to loop until the user stops it.
Two: I'll create a simple menu with a single PLAY button in the center, and map that button to play Track 1. That way, if the client inadvertently drops out of the play loop and wants to get back into it, s/he can do it by hitting Menu on the remote and pressing Select.
More details on all of this are contained in your Fine Manual.

Export Video with Multiple Audio Tracks

I need to be able to export video with audio on multiple tracks. I have moved to CS6 from FCP 7 where this was rather easy to do. I can make a preset in AME with more than enough mono tracks but after the encode the video is always smashed to one mono track. I am not doing a 5.1 mix, there are different mic's on each track that need to remain independant of one another and mixing them down within Premiere is not feasable. Are there no options to just have the audio 'pass through' like Compressor? Sorry if there are other posts but I have been searching forever and can not find a simple answer on this topic.
Also, is there no way to have the source timecode burn in? Putting a filter on the video in a sequence is unacceptable, I am very displeased to find that this doesn's seem possible in AME or Premiere, it has been part of Apple's suite for years.
Example of my preset from Compressor:

Hi James,
For exporting a multitrack .wav file, you have to start a project with a multichannel audiomaster (3-16 tracks).
Copy and paste your complete edit to the new editsetting.
Now in the audiomixer you can route your audiolayers to the multichannel you like.
(CH1+2 pan to left is channel 1, pan to right is channel 2 and for a stereo track pan to center : channel 1 for left and channel 2 for right.)
Then you export your project to a 3-16 tracks multitrack .wav file.
When you need mono tracks you can import your multitrack .wav file in premiere. Then send it to Audition (edit in Audition) and then adobe will convert the file into mono tracks.
You'll find the mono tracks in your audio capture folder or can premiere search for then by 'reveal in explorer'.
The multi track .wav file has got timecode within the file.
When exporting in QT you can also choose for a multitrack audio file. It also contains your timeline timecode.
.avi or .mp4 video files cannot be exported with more than 5.1 channels of audio
MXF OP1a in XDCAMHD can also be exported with max. 16 channels of audio. It also contains your timeline timecode.
Hopefully you can get further with Premiere Pro with this info.
Succes with it!!

Program to remove sound from video and join video with audio file?

With which program can I remove the sound of a video and join/sync the video file with another audio file?
Thank you

Can I suggest using something that will allow audio capture from the external mic. to start with. Then you will have a video with audio in sync, in a format that you can re encode into whatever format you wish.
But, if you must do that. Dump the video from the handycam file, then put the mics audio file with it. ffmpeg -i video ffmpeg -i audio into whatever container and codecs that you want. You may have to adjust audio-video sync
ffmpeg -i audio -itsoffset 0.1 -i video
Search this forum and the web. There are hundreds of ffmpeg examples. And the ffmpeg man
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
ffmpeg will do just about anything, but is a little daunting. Ask specific questions and you'll get specific answers. Or find a front end for it. I never use them.
