H.264 + AAC is possible?

Hi,
There are some way to live streaming H.264 + AAC Audio
instead MP3 ?
Thanks.

Flash Media Encoder(FME) v2.5 supports H.264 with AAC however
you would need to buy AAC plug-in from MainConcept

Low File Size/Great Image Quality: H.264, AAC

1. I created a slideshow in iPhoto, exported it to a QT movie file. The properties of it is as follows:
Exibit A:
Dimensions: 720x480
Format: MPEG-4 Video, AAC, Stereo, 44.100kHz
FPS: 30
Data Rate: 7277.87 kbits/sec
Channel Count: 2
Duration: 02'46
Size: 143.58MB
2. I pulled a QT Movie file from the web with the following properties:
Exibit B:
Dimensions: 480x360
Format: AAC, H.264, Stereo (LR), 48.000kHz
FPS: 28.79
Channel Count: 2
Duration: 01'22
Data Rate: 868.14 kbits/sec
Size: 8.5MB
3. I tried to see if I could compress my movie and keep the quality as comparible to Exibit B. Here's what I ended up with:
Exibit C:
Dimensions: 720x480
Format: AAC, H.264, Stereo (LR), 44.100kHz
FPS: 30
Data Rate: 4826.73 kbits/sec
Channel Count: 2
Duration: 02'46
Size: 95.22MB
4. I tried again. This time creating the same dimension as Exibit B. Here what I got:
Exibit D:
Dimensions: 480x360
Format: AAC, H.264, Stereo (LR), 44.100 kHz
FPS: 30
Data Rate: 2577.17 kbits/sec
Channel Count: 2
Duration: 02'46
Size: 51MB
How can I create a very low size and image quality as Exibit B?
I have QTPro. Do I need something else?
Thanks.

Update:
Well playing all exibits on the Windows workstation worked just fine after the update. I now has QT7.
Next...I've exported Exibit A down to 8MB (Exitbit F)by recommendations from Capt. QTKirk. Here are the properties:
Exibit F:
Format: AAC, Stereo (LR), 32.000kHz, H.264, 720x480, Millions
FPS: 15
Data Size: 8.5MB
Data Rate: 429.79kbits/sec
Overall Quality:
Video: Fair at 720x480; much better at 486x324; overall choppy transitions as well
Audio: Fair -close to mono.
Anyone else have any suggestions?
How and what are others using to get the audio/video quality as crisp and sharp as what's shown in the QT Movie Trailer site?

Project Setting for H.264-AAC

Ok,
I think I overcomplicated things when I ask which file type or codec renders the fastest...
I'll ask an easy one...
What "Project Settings" will I use if I'm planning to edit a .mp4 file with (H.264 video AAC audio) for it to be recognized as 'native'?

You can drag the Clip in the Project Panel to the New Icon, and PrPro will create a New Sequence that matches, and place that as the first Clip.
This shows the New Icon:

Hope that this helps,

Playing H.264/AAC MOV files on G4 1ghz Powerbook

Hi all,
I'm not sure which forum is best for this question. I have a series of training videos, QuickTime mov format, that I need to watch for my work. Unfortunately my computer is only a G4, 1Ghz which doesn't seem to be able to handle the files. The audio plays fine, but the video only plays about 1 frame in every 100 or so.
When I view the info on the MOV files it indicates that the file uses Codecs H.264, ACC. Some initial research I did indicates that I need a dual processor to playback these files.
I'm wondering if there is a way to convert this MOV to another Codec so that I can play them on my computer.
Any and all input is much appreciated.

When I view the info on the MOV files it indicates that the file uses Codecs H.264, ACC. Some initial research I did indicates that I need a dual processor to playback these files.
You will need a dual processor to best view HD video. They will still play on a single processor but the playback will be slow and stutter (as you have noticed).
You can try Handbrake or VLC and see if they will convert to lower framerate/quality

I am experiencing consistent crashes with Quicktime, Safari, Soundtrack Pro and FCP. I can not create a new audio track or open a previously created audio file (or export an audio file from FCP to STP) with out all programs immediately crashing. Also, as with many others, I can not load or view any online quicktime movies without Safari crashing. I have tried most of the suggested fixes without solving this haneous crashing issue.
Any suggestions to solving this work stopping evilness would be greatly appreciated.

The file has no audio or video streams : error importing MP4 (H.264+AAC)

Hello, greetings from Spain.
I'm getting an error with all my mp4 files generated with the avermedia live gamer portable lite when i try to import them on my project.
All those files worked perfectly before the premiere actualization to 2014 version.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Clear Media cache data base. Also clean it out manually.
Rename folder the mp's are in and import into new project.
See if that will help.

Quicktime playback problems - Mpg4 (h.264/aac) out of sync only in QT

I'm having some trouble with Mpg4 playback in Quicktime for windows. All my videos play fine in QT on a mac, they play fine in VLC on PC. But playback on QT for windows goes in and out of sync. It doesn't matter what Mpg4 codec I use, it happens with all of them.
I've tried uninstalling itunes as I had read that could create this problem, but that didn't fix it. I tried adjusting the audio output device latency because I read this could effect the sync as well. The only way we've found to fix this is to bring the file into final cut, take the original file out of sync by 3-10 frames and export with the adjusted audio. But I can't do this for every video, I have thousands and thousands of files for distribution. I need some solution for the player. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a way to fix it?

Is the delay very slight...with the audio coming before the video? Are you using home theater audio separate from the TV's built-in audio? If so, more than likely, your TV is performing real-time video processing like rescaling, color & contrast adjustments, etc. This often takes several milliseconds, so the audio actually precedes the video. The TV's audio system is adjusted to compensate, but sending the audio to another system bypasses this feature.
Sorry to say that this type configuration can only be fixed with outboard digital delay. Some home theater boxes have this feature, otherwise, one can buy an outboard digital delay box. I actually have two...one on DTV/TiVo and the other on the DVD player.
This particular problem is usually evidenced by very slight delay of video...perhaps 2-3 video frames...which would be in the 30-90 millisecond range. This would be the equivalent of a news anchor's single syllable.

FCP recognizes some h.264 mp4 files but not others

I'm having a particularly frustrating experience with Final Cut Pro 7 at the moment. I've been working on a project for a while now, and I've been importing and cutting with mp4 files that are in h.264 codec with AAC audio. It's been working just fine for a long time now.
Now, I have three more video files to import into the project. They are THE EXACT SAME format: mp4, h.264 codec with AAC audio. Data rate is pretty much the same. Technically, everything I can see about them, format-wise, is exactly the same.
It's not recognizing them. I get "File Error: Unknown File".
I've tried playing them in multiple players. Quicktime, Quicktime 7, VLC... they all work just fine. The inspector in Quicktime tells me the EXACT SAME format information as the files that are importing just fine.
Can someone PLEASE shed light on what the **** is going on here? Why are all the rest of h.264/AAC/mp4 files that I'm importing working just fine while these three are not? I've looked at their logging/format information... it's all exactly the same. There's no perceivable reason that I can find why Final Cut is singling out these three files not to recognize. I thought maybe something had changed with Final Cut and it no longer works with h.264 or mp4 or whatever... but all the other files I already imported are still working just fine. And I can still re-import them just fine. So it can't be that FCP just doesn't recognize MP4 or H.264 or AAC, because it's recognizing it just fine with all the other files. Again, they're all in the EXACT SAME format!
And yes, I've tried re-coverting these files. I've converted them using different programs. They always end up working fine for playing in all the players I have, but when I go to import them into Final Cut, suddenly they ain't working. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why and I'm completely clueless.
Has this happened to anybody else and what did you do? I know I can just try converting them to another format, like ProRes or Apple Intermediate... but that would take up more space on my computer... plus, it's just the mystery of the situation that's really getting to me right now. I want to know WHY it's not working! For the life of me, it doesn't make any sense.
Also: I thought it might have something to do with Perian. I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Perian. Since I did that, Perian hasn't been working very well. Quicktime doesn't play the audio in mkv files, for example.
But if Perian not working is preventing FCP from recognizing THESE mp4/h.264/aac files, then why are the rest of the mp4/h.264/aac files still working just fine? Again, it just doesn't make any sense to me. It's like FCP got picked on by these three files and is holding a grudge.

I know h.264 is not ideal. And you're right, I have had issues with sync on export and such that I've had to deal with. But it still worked. I was able to import and edit with the files, despite having some glitches along the way.
Now it's just plain not importing. And I have no idea what changed. Final Cut didn't change. It's still importing all the files it likes just fine. They're mp4/h.264/aac, and they import. These three files that aren't importing are the SAME format, but Final Cut doesn't like them for some reason. I would love to know what that reason could possibly be. What could possibly make one mp4/h.264/aac file import, but another one not?
JUST talking about importing. Not editing or exporting.

How can I export 1080i in best possible quality for internet streaming?

Sorry, I'm not too knowledgeable about this but I have Final Cut 6.0.4 and use/captured in HD-1080i. What's the best possible way to export this in great quality for internet streaming? What dimensions should I use? Any help would be extremely appreciated. Thank you!

ok i used h.264 main profile with 10 mbps and i am using multipass and size is 1280x720. i tried 24 and 30 key frames. quality is still lower
iv been experimenting on a 1.5 minute video to save time. I imported the project from imovie into fcpx and changed nothing. looking at the file that was created by imovie for the same video it is 1280x720 and uses codecs h.264 and aac the file size is 115 mb the extension is .mov and the color profile is HD (1-1-1) and total bitrate is 10,512 kbps. and the quality is the minimum acceptable for me.
The file i created using your settings above in compressor 4 is 118 mb and of lower quality. codecs used are h.264, aac, and Hint (not sure what hint is but noticed it isn't used with the .mov file) color prile is the same as above. total bitrate is 10,405 kbps.
Im not arguing that compressor 4 should be able to surpass imovie but so far i have only been able to do it by making the file size rediculous (>50 gb for 30 minutes). I created a movie that was recorded with the same camera (25 mbps) 1080p 1920x1080. imovie made this 40 minute video just under 3 gb and with the same quality as the movie i am experimenting with.
There is a differnce between theory and practice. SO FAR THE RESULTS I AM SEEING IS THAT IMOVIE IS SUPERIOR IN QUALITY TO SIZE RATIO. imovie has very few options but the hd setting has surpassed what i have been able to do with fcpx.
i am willing to try any settings that anyone sugests.
personally i think i will try to export the movie at max quality then take the super large file to my windows laptop and convert to avi. as in the past i have had much success with that format using divx. i realize that that is not the best method but i don't really want to spend hours re editing this video with imovie since the source footage is about 10 hours.
Thanks for trying still_learning but i am afraid you are still learning.

Is it possible to upload and view DVDs to my 60GB ipod?

The feller who sold me this little gizmo said it would play movies, I even found movies listed on one of the menu pages but Apple says, no. They did kind of hint that a visit to this site might be an enlightening experience though. I have no clue about file types and that kind of stuff but I'd sure like to load a few movies. I have a music DVD from Dido that I'd really love to load is it the same thing??? Please let me know if this can be done.
Thanks and a belated happy thanksgiving.

The feller who sold me this little gizmo said it would play movies, I even found movies listed on one of the menu pages but Apple says, no.
It depends on which 60G iPod you have. If you have a 5th generation 60G iPod then "the fellow" was telling the truth. If, on the other hand, you have a 4th generation 60G iPod, then the people at apple were telling the truth. Since you indicate you found "Movies" listing in a menu, I would assume you own a iPod with video capabilities. The catch is, the movies have to be in either MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC format and meet specific regirements withing the format. No, it does not play DVDs, but it is possible and leagal back up your own videos (or commercial movies under the "fair use" concept) if you have a permanent lease on their use.
They did kind of hint that a visit to this site might be an enlightening experience though. I have no clue about file types and that kind of stuff but I'd sure like to load a few movies.
You may wish to start off with something easy -- like some movie trailers or public domain movies which are already in a digital file format and need only be converted to a proper format for loading to an iPod. (You can also purchase videos already compatible from the iTunes Music Store, but I assumed you might prefer to gain some experience using free files and applications first.) If you search this discussion forum on "Videora" file converter, you will likely learn many of the basics.
I have a music DVD from Dido that I'd really love to load is it the same thing??? Please let me know if this can be done.
Yes, it can be done. In this case, you may wish to search for references to "Decrypter," "ripping," or "extraction" software ireferences in the forum.
Once again, would recommend starting slowly by gaining experience in file conversion process first and learn to recognize what problems and mistakes other Windows users are having/making before delving deeper into the various multimedia format and how to rip, extract, and convert them to an iPod compatible format.

Software not loadaing my h.264 MP4 Files

This is my deal
I have this Sanyo Camera that records videos on the 29.99fps and 59.94 fps 1920x1080 Full HD and makes MP4 files on H.264 compression for the video and AAC Stereo 48KHz for the audio.
I have see very well the videos on my QuickTime software but when I Import them into FCPX then it seems the system is working of the background for a while but then it stops. And still I can't see the video only hear it.
I remmber I was able to import and transcode at the same time on FCP7. Any ideas?
Please help,
Thanks.

Audio/video sync with h.264 - players affected

Hi there,
I've been trying to do a sound mix in Audition CC and have been sent a video reference (h.264/AAC). I noticed the audio going out of sync with the video and so checked the file in a few players (PotPlayer, VLC, Quicktime). I found video was also lagging behind the audio with all these players so I was about to contact the person who sent me the clip but decided to do one more test. Weirdly, in Window Media Player the video stays in sync all the way through!
I understand this means that my problem's more to do with my system than Audition, but I find this problem occurs sometimes in Premiere with other source clips too and instead of tweaking it to work temporarily as usual I really want to get to the bottom of it.
I tried using AME to encode to different codecs and have tried uncompressed video and audio. This makes no difference, and I imagine that's because all my Adobe software is using a dodgy codec to read the video, could this be the case?
Has anyone else had an issue like this? And why is Windows Media Player suddenly the only thing immune to this problem?
Here's the mediainfo for the clip in question, thanks for any help!

Hi,
When encoding live in H264 with the FP 11 then playing it live on another client (through FMS r) the video sometimes (1/3 of times) has major skips or jerks. It's almost as if the video goes back to some older keyframes and then returns to live. Same experience with non-h264 produces smooth video.
If the server (FMS ) records the video, the replay looks smooth, which is strange because I would have assumed the FP was not encoding well with H264.
Has anyone had this issue? please reply
Thank you.

Compressor H.264 and Android devices

I'm looking to make videos on our web site as mobile compatible as is practical and have run into a specific issue with compressor. When I tried to play one of our H.264 videos on an Android device I got the picture but no sound. I did some experimenting and found that any video made with the Format of Quicktime (regardless of codec) had the same problem. I have been able to make H.264 videos with other tools such as Handbrake and ffmpeg with similar settings as used in Compressor and those work fine on the Android. Anyone have an idea what my problem is and if there is a work-around? So far my only option seems to be using ffmpeg instead of compressor.

I've had luck with H.264/AAC from Quicktime Player 7 and Adobe Media Encoder. I've never been able to export to Android out of Compressor. The AAC flavours Compressor offers aren't to Android's taste.
Here's the spec sheet on what is/isn't accepted.
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
Also, for the record, Google supports and actively contributes to HTML5. The hang up is the video tag in HTML 5 does not specify a codec. Google is dropping support for H.264 video in Chrome when using the video tag because H.264 is proprietary, not open. This is the same reason H.264 video support has never been in Firefox. H.264 will be supported in Chrome through Flash, just as WebM will be supported almost everywhere else via Flash.

Mp4 iMovie - is it possible without extra steps?

I can't import mp4 clips in to iMovie. I can see them listed, but they are grayed out and I can't select them. I also can't seem to get a definite answer as to whether or not iMovie will import mp4s without jumping through a bunch of hoops. I'd love to know. Thanks for your assistance.

Why Sometimes Can't Import MP4 to iMovie?
Reason One: iMovie only supports importing MP4 formats with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data, not all kinds of MP4 formats. Some MP4 files from like Sony, Hybrid camcorders and other devices cannot be accepted by iMovie.
Reason Two: iMovie contains all the essential codecs to read MP4 files. Any different codecs included in audio and subtitle will cause the issue. In the circumstances, we still cannot successfully import MP4 files to iMovie.
All in all, to smoothly import MP4 to iMovie, you'd better to convert these MP4 files to iMovie totally compatible MP4 or MOV (QuickTime) formats.

H.264 in FCE (from Xacti CG65) question

I recently bought an Xacti CG65 video camera that records to h.264 on memory cards. After copying the footage to my computer, I tried to bring it into FCE. The file will import, or I can drag it into the media browser. However, if I double click it I get a "file not found" error followed by a "out of memory" error.
I was saddened to think I can't edit in FCE. After a few tests, I finally decided to just drag it into the timeline, and it WORKED! The file played back, but unfortunately the audio and video needed to be rendered.
When I looked at the details of the file from with in FCE's media browser it listed that the file7s audio was 32bit floating point. This is what is strange as the Xacti records to 48Khz, 16bit files, and this is confirmed if I open the file in otehr audio programs.
If FCE recognized this audio as 16bit, then the audio wouldn't need to be rendered would it, as 16bit 48Khz is the standard.
Just wondering if anyone can offer any advice. I have read on this forum that h.264 isn't supported in FCE HD, but it is almost working! Any other tips would be appreciated.
Thanks you for your time.

I believe what you're seeing is an artifact resulting from H.264's use of AAC for audio. The 32/48KHz indicator in the H.264/AAC stream probably can't be seen or interpreted by FCE. imho I think you're lucky it works at all, as using H.264 as an input format is not officially supported by FCE. H.264 is a delivery format, not an editing format.
By the way, what are your sequence settings - DV NTSC which is 48KHz by default, or is your sequence DV NTSC 32KHz?

H.264 + AAC is possible?
