H.264 Containers

Hello,
I was wandering if anyone knew of any advantages/disadvantages of encoding in H.264 with a .mov extension vs. a .mp4 extension? Thanks.
Nick

Actually, h.264 encoded .mp4s exported by QuickTime Pro do not support chapter markers at all. (I mean QuickTime Pro because even though Compressor can create .mp4 files, those cannot make use of h.264 encoding, only MPEG-4 encoding).
Personally, I always use .mov files, unless I'm exporting specifically for the iTunes universe (iPod/iPhone/tv). I can't speak necessarily to QT having greater compatibility, but with so many folks having iPods (and iTunes requires a QT install), .movs usually aren't an issue like they once were in the Windows universe.
And yes, all other things being equal - frame size and rate, data rate, etc. - .mov and .mp4 files encoded with h.264 should look the same.

Quicktime movies subtitle format description?

Hi to all! Recently I've got iPod Touch 16GB - all is work fine, audio, video e.t.c. But I've read in the features (page 32), that there is subtitle support in iPod, if it's available in a movie. I tried to find in many forums devoted to movie encoding description of this subtitles (in mp4 or mov container), but found nothing. After long reading quicktime format documentation and analyzing some quicktime executables, I've found that subtitle support really exists in Quicktime and iPod - it must be 3gp timed text track marked with subtype 'sbtl'. Long experiments - and I've made real example of 'MOV' file with AVC video, AAC audio and one subtitle track. But there is semi-transparent bar, when subtitles is on.
My question addressed to technical support first - where I can find documentation about how to make this subtitles, and description of it's format? Why this usable feature not implemented on Apple site in documentation?

Probably because Apple doesn't want to encourage people putting DVDRips and illegally downloaded movies on their iPods. And actually, there is documentation available on how to do this, but it's only accessible through the developer's website. If you own a license for one of Apple's authoring tools, you can get access to that tool/software's developer website. Quicktime Pro does have it's own development tools and a developer's website. The documentation for doing this is found there.
Part of the reason there are not ALREADY third-party programs capable of putting subtitles into a the MPEG-4 or H.264 containers while converting a video or just with an existing video, is that it's pretty time consuming, it's complicated, and for most people converting video, legal or illegal, the third-party programs that simply do burned-in or hard-coded subtitles are perfectly fine for a movie for the iPod.

Supported containers for Videos app ? mkv ? ogm ?

Hello,
the "Videos" app only shows .mp4 files (those from my previous andro phone on the SD) ,it does not list .mkv or .ogm files i added via usb storage
The phone is the Zte Open C, FFOS 1.3.0.x (20140519) (localized in french, bought from zte ebay)
1) I understand only part of the brazilian ticket below, but does Mozilla plan to add mkv or ogm compatibility to the Firefox Video App ? Or other containers ? What about formats of contents inside containers (x264 ? Xvid ? aac ?)
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982536?esab=a&s=video&r=3&as=s
2) Are FFOS apps limited to the formats/containers listed in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats#Browser_compatibility ?
If FFOS apps are limited to these formats, can Mozilla extend the number of compatible formats for FFOS ? And is it planned ? In the design for webapps, i don't have the impression that a developer (except mozilla ?) can implement a port of a C/C++ app like VLC or mplayer to FFOS ?
I know it's a hard question, but having a phone device that can also be used as a video media player and play any video format is useful, and the less recoding/remuxing the better.

Hi potf,
I was finally able to track down specific details of formats, containers, and codecs that are playable in Firefox OS. This information is also applicable for Firefox browser, and Firefox for Android.
These are the file formats that are recognizable by Firefox OS ([http://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content/devicestorage.properties reference]):
* '''pictures'''=*.jpe; *.jpg; *.jpeg; *.gif; *.png; *.bmp;
* '''music'''=*.mp3; *.oga; *.ogg; *.m4a; *.m4b; *.m4p; *.m4r; *.3gp; *.mp4; *.m3u; *.pls; *.opus; *.amr; *.wav; *.lcka;
* '''videos'''=*.mp4; *.mpeg; *.mpg; *.ogv; *.ogx; *.webm; *.3gp; *.3g2; *.ogg; *.m4v;
Regarding the codecs and containers that are playable in Firefox OS, Firefox currently supports the following media formats where the decoding support is built into the browser ([http://bluishcoder.co.nz/2013/08/21/html-media-support-in-firefox.html reference]):
* '''Opus''' audio in an Ogg container on all platforms.
* '''Vorbis''' audio in an Ogg or WebM container on all platforms.
* '''Theora''' video in an Ogg container on all platforms.
* '''VP8''' video in a WebM container on all platforms.
* '''WAV''' audio on all platforms.
Support for the following formats in Firefox uses operating system decoder support. This means coverage is not available across all platforms. We are working towards this goal:
* '''H.264''' video in an MP4 container on Firefox OS, some Android devices, and Desktop on Windows Vista and up.
* '''AAC''' audio in an MP4 container on Firefox OS, some Android devices, and Desktop on Windows Vista and up.
* '''MP3''' audio in MP3 files on Firefox OS, some Android devices and Desktop on Windows Vista and up. Support for Windows XP is coming in Firefox 26.
We hope you find this information useful. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thanks,

How do i convert avi to h.264?

i have quicktime pro 7 and i would like to convert some of my home movies which are avi files to h.264 file but it wont play the avi files or convert them correctly. can anyone help with a solution?

Open your AVI in quicktime
Select window > Show movie info
This should tell you what video and audio codecs have been used to encode your AVI (remember, AVI's are just containers)
Go onto google and do a search for those codecs.
Install, reboot, and quicktime 'should' be then able to export your AVI as H264 (mpeg4, etc)
If you can get QT to play it, then you're most of the way there
If QT cannot give you the information you require, search for gspot which is a great utility for finding out everything about a piece of media.

Paul

Playstation 3 compressor settings for h.264/mp4 and avchd and 5.1 audio

Hello this is my first post on this forum. I am a cameraman by trade, but do a lot of editing. I am pretty good on an Avid and with color correction software, but since I sold my sony f900 and picked up a couple or RED cameras - I was forced to hop on the FCP studio2 wagon. So I apologize for the newbie questions.
I have a PS3 and not a PSP. I find more and more clients have a PS3 for their media and blu-ray... etc. So my question is what are the settings for compressor to encode for the PS3 and there ever so nit picky and poorly documented parameters.
There are plenty of non-pro answers, but I have searched high and low for what they need specifically. I see lots of questions but now answers.
So how can I take my final cut footage or any video file for that matter, and put it into something that my PS3 can chew? What are the H.264 (mpeg4) settings?
Can I also (but not exclusively) encode in AVCHD from compressor?
Lastly is there a way to put on the 5.1 or surround info into these files for PS3 playback? if I want to take one of my work DVD's (reel, projects, etc) and put it on the PS3 or bring in surround encoded (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) tracks into FCP and put it with my footage?
Thanks for any and all help...
the only vaguely technical info I have found was on the PS3 forum, here is what it says:
from:
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3media&mess age.id=22987&query.id=96226#M22987
For those of you who want to put .MP4 videos on a PS3 with a Macintosh, this is how you do it with ffmpegx.
VIDEO
- X264 Encoding
- framesize can be any
- framerate can be any
AUDIO
- any MP3 or AAC track
OPTIONS
- Use CABAC on
- Constant bitrate on
- Trellis on
- Decode with Quicktime (not always necessary but if your picture is out of sync with audio, try this)
- AVC level 3.0
This produces a good .MP4 file that the PS3 will happily play.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? if not can we figure it out on this thread? there are a lot of questions I find when I google this subject out there - so a lot of people would be happy to find the answer.

I have created files to play on PS3, and the secret is to use MPEG Streamclip. You can encode to whatever you want in MPEG2 or MPEG4, then open that bad boy in MPEG Streamclip:
If it's MPEG2, File > convert to TS
If it's MPEG4: File > Save As MP4
That's it. MPEG Streamclip doesn't re-encode so no quality loss. All it does is change the container. And PS3 is very picky about containers.
As for 5.1 audio, you can do this by encoding separate MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files like you normally would for a DVD. For hi-def MPEG2, use one of the Compressor presets for HD-DVD. Make sure they both have the same name ("xxx.m2v" and "xxx.ac3", for instance) and are in the same folder. Then open the video in MPEG Streamclip and it will automatically mux the streams together, which can then be converted to TS.
Note that this is only possible encoding video to MPEG2. I don't know of any way to create an MP4 with 5.1 audio.
PS3 is a great way to deliver HD video onto your TV without the frustration of trying to author Blu-Ray or even burning discs.

Quicktime .mov containers with multiple tracks not working on iPhone

Hello,
I have several .mov files (containers) that all include H.264 mp4 video tracks and AAC sound tracks.
Some of the .mov files only include one video track and one sound track, but some contain multiple, as I have joined a few clips together into one container. Each .mov file was saved as a Standalone file, so no reference files are needed.
All of them play perfectly in Quicktime and iTunes and all sync with both AppleTV and my iPhone. They also play perfectly in AppleTV, but my iPhone only plays files with a single video and audio track. If the .mov container includes more than one video track, the iPhone will play the first track and then freeze when it should transition to the next track. (Is this a known iPhone bug?)
My question is: Is there a way to merge video tracks and sound tracks within a .mov container without having to re-encode/export the file to an iPhone format?
The reason I do not want to export everything to an iPhone format is because I already tried that, and the total size of all the exported .m4v files is around 10 GB but the size of the .mov files is only 5.6 GB, yet I do not see any difference in quality. And my iPhone is only 8 GB, so I can't sync all of the files if I use the iPhone format.
I've also tried several different settings with iSquint, but the smallest I can get the files down to is 7.4 GB without compromising the quality, and that leaves very little space left on the iPhone.
Note: The iPhone is a 2G phone with the latest firmware.

I'm having the exact same issue with my iphone 4s.. I have a belkin wireless router with multiple other devices connecting effortlessly every time. I have my old iphone 3G, and ipod touch, and 2 laptops connecting with no issues. I am receiving the same error message as you. Lame.. If this doesn't resolve itself soon, I am returning the iphone 4s.

Trimming changes quality of H.264 1080/60p mov video

Trimming changes quality of H.264 1080/60p mov video
Hi,
I have the following 25 s video (according to QT X inspector):
Format: H.264, 1920 x 1080, Millions
Linear PCM, 24 bit little-endian signed Integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
FPS: 59.94
Data Size: 84.7 MB [= file size]
Data Rate: 27.08 Mbit/s
Length: 25 s
After trimming (latest Lion QT version) to 15 s it says:
Format: H.264, 1920 x 1080, Mlllions
AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
FPS: 30
Data Size: 17.9 MB [= file size]
Data Rate: 10.99 Mbit/s
Length: 13 s
I get AAC instead of the original PCM audio format,
I get 30 fps instead of the original 59.94 fps and the
file size and data rate (consequently) appear much too small.
Some weeks ago under Lion (and also still now on another Mac under Snow Leopard)
I didn't have this problem.
Which update caused this and what can I do to get the old, correct trimming behaviour?
Why do I have to "export" now? Previously trimming and saving without quality loss was possible.
Many thanks.

I would call this a bug (or at least a threat), when - after trimming a video - characteristics are modified without confirmation!
I would consider it a "bug" IFF (if and only if) the results were unintentional. Unfortunately, it is likely the engineers/designers knew exactly what they were doing and did so solely in an effort to remove what might be considered confusing options for the novice but which you and I consider options essential to our desired project work flow.
What if I would have trimmed my footage, deleted the originals, and later (in my editing software) noticed the problem?
My assumption here (and it is only an assumption), is that they gave no thought to the possibility that your preliminary "rough" edits might be a prelude to further editing in a multi-step/multi-app work flow. It seems they consider the QT X app edits to be both the alpha and omega in your editing process and only desire to provide the novice with a finished "distribution" product which does not require the novice to make any export decisions.
Last question: Is there a way to determine if the frames had been re-compressed too, or if only every second frame had been ignored? (But in this case shouldn't FPS be 29.97...?)
I would probably compare the QT v10.0 output against the QT v10.1 output using an app like "Dumpster" which will give you the exact frame count for both (i.e., does the latter actually have exactly half the number ± 1, as well as, check the distribution of data for Key/I-frames, etc. For very long clip it should be obvious if the data is being recompressed or merely copied to a new file container by the amount of time this write action takes. Also the file container itself is usually indicative with MOV file containers being used for the "copying" all data tracks and M4V file containers used when data is recompressed, track limited by data type, and finally remuxed to the M4V container.
Last question: Is there a way to determine if the frames had been re-compressed too, or if only every second frame had been ignored? (But in this case shouldn't FPS be 29.27...?)
It would depend on the algorithm used to drop the frames. For instance, the algorithm could simply drop every other frame but maintain the same timing reference or change the reference to provide a preprogrammed maximum 30 fps to maintain compatibility with devices having the 30 fps limitation. Other algorithms might look for "duplicate" frames (i.e., those displaying little or no change) for dropping and apply VFR time referencing to still achieve a 30 (or 29.94) fps target "average."

Imovie '11 - export format confusion - m4v = mov = H.264?

Greetings,
iMovie '11
When I use Share > Export I get the "Save As" dialog box. If I select Mobile, Medium, or Large, the file type is .m4v. If I select HD 720p or HD 1080p, the file type is .mov. When I view them with QuickTime Player 7, then according to the Inspector, they are all in H.264 format. The .m4v files open in iTunes by default, whereas the HD files open in QT7 by default. What is the point of this mess? Please explain.

'Format' is very unspecific when it comes to media as video.
There's CODECS and there's CONTAINERS, or wrappers:
h264 is a codec; a computer needs a wrapper, a box to identify such data as 'video', there's no such thing as 'naked' h264 in the wild. . such a box could be avi, or mov. Or m4v. Or .mts. Or AVCHD .. = all can contain h264. Different box, different purposes, some say 'standards' ...
Another example: mpeg2 ... is a codec. can appear as .mp2. can appear inside a mov. can appear inside a VIDEO_TS aka 'videoDVD'.-
Next: flv. NO codec. A wrapper. Can contain h264. Can contain VP6. If h264 is inside, no need for 'flash video', which is property of Adobe.-
Finally, just to confuse you: mpeg4. Is a codec. can appear as .mp4. BUT .mp4 is a wrapper too, can contain h264, as 'videos' for a Playstation4 ...
If you're not interested in what some lunatic engineers invent, simply use the presets in any export-dialog. does work.-

H.264 for HDDVD in DSP

Hello. I am having so much trouble importing H.264 assets *NOT* generated by Compressor into a HDDVD project in DSP, that I start to wonder whether it is possible at all! Has anybody got direct experience of importing H.264 from generic encoders?
No matter what I try I get the "Import Asset. Incompatible format" pop-up when I try to import. MPEG2 works very well, as does MPEG4 in all sort of containers. So, can anybody pls illustrate how to build H.264 assets accepted by DSP? (I mean other than with Compressor's HDDVD for DSP profile; I have tested both x264 and MC Reference, with no success at all.)
Thanks.

Argh, is that true? Can I please have a second confirmation? It's terrible, why on earth would Apple make that choice... ?!?
This is a real problem to me because as of now I haven't managed to create a single encode with the Compressor's DSP HDDVD setting: they all fail with a mysterious error -50 about which I found no documentation if not a reference to being a "wrong argument" generic error. Notice that H264 encodes work well, it's only the DSP HDDVD that fail. I suspect there might be some clash with one of my QuickTime plugins (eg Perian), but I do not really know. So please:
(1) can you confirm you're able to encode with Compressor's DSP HDDVD preset and no problems?
(2) can you suggest where I could look for logs and hints as to what exactly this QuickTime error -50 is, so that I could attempt to fix it?
Thanks.

Certain H.264/MP4 videos play without video on iPhone

H.264 playback too dark

Videos played under qt player are too dark. I have to manually set A/V controls for every new file opened.
Is there a way to permanently adjust image levels?
(Also, I've tried perian but stopped -- qt crashed sometimes with it installed. I'd rather not use other playback apps (vlc, etc) since my work has some useful tools with qt player pro.)

Hi there.
Are your H.264 files in Mp4/m4vs containers
Ive heard the codec quicktime uses does play them a little too dark. Not sure if this was solved in a recent update.
I dont think there is much you can do, but perian is pretty good, im surprised it is crashing. As to settings from what i can see it is file specific.
Sorry couldn't really help. At least your not the only one seeing the darker playback

Media Encoder CC exporting the wrong resolution in custom preset h.264

I have two custom presets in Media Encoder CC. The original file is an mov Lossless 720x480 from After Effects. One is h.264 mp4 720x480 and the other is h.264 640x480. When I encode the resolutions are 872x480 and 581x480 respectively. Not sure what I have going on here. The presets worked with the same settings just fine in Media Encoder CS6 on another computer. Any ideas?

Not able to change the data of test data containers in production system

Dear All,
We have created eCATT scripts in Development SolMan System and moved the transports to Production SolMan System. Customer wants to change the data at Test data containers and run the scripts in production system but we are not able to edit the data.
May be the reason is SCC4 transaction code has set the below option.
Changes and transports for client-specific Objects
u2022 No changes allowed
Customer doesnu2019t want to change the above option and wanted to change the test data containers to give different datau2019s and run the eCATT scripts.
Could you please let me know the solution for this?
Your help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Mahendra

eCatt has the feature where you don't need to transport the scripts or test configuration to our target system. We can keep all our scripts and test data in Solman and run this script any other system in your landscape using the System data container and target system.
Maintain the production as one of the target system in System container in Solman and point that system while running the script. Change the test data in Solman to run this script.
Let me know if you need more information
thanks

It works fine with VLC using the codec avc1 , so the fix might be to use coreavc codec with mplayer, unfortunately mplayer-coreavc-svn from AUR does not compile :S
Thank you

It actually worked!
Can't see what was the problem with mplayer but now it plays perfectly
Thank you!

Unable To Use DVDSP4 Presets for HD-DVD in the H.264 Format

I recently prepared a 23 minute slide show using Fotomagico from high resolution Hasselblad slides scanned in at 1200 dpi. Within Fotomagico I rendered the Fotomagico slide show to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, took it into Final Cut Pro 6.03 and added an intro and closing section. I then sent this to Compressor and selected the 30 minute HD-DVD preset which uses mpeg2. All went fine with the encoding to mpeg2 and I got a successful build and format out of DVDSP4 after importing the resulting .m2v file into DVDSP4. However, while the disk plays back fine in my Mac Pro it plays back with stuttering (audio and video) on my Toshiba HD-A2 HD-DVD player. I used a Verbatim Datalife DVD+R, but several other discs from other manufactuers including a DVD-R disc showed the same problem.
Please note that I have the latest firmware on my Toshiba HD-A2 and I have successfully burned RL HD-DVD discs using my PC and Windows software (Ulead's DVD Movie Factory 6+) which play fine without stuttering on my HD-A2.
I then decided to send the project to Compressor and use the 60 minute HD-DVD preset that encodes to H.264. Once again Compressor successfully executed the encode of my 23 minute slide show and it plays fine in QuickTime or MPEG StreamClip. However, every time I try and import this .mov file encoded in H.264 using the Compressor preset for HD-DVD into DVDSP4, DVDSP4 brings it in to the assets folder, but after a couple of seconds DVDSP4 crashes. Using console I get a message that DVDSP4 quit unexpectedly due to a "segmentation fault".
I also tried to take the ProRes Fotomagic project in Final Cut Pro 6.02 and send it out with Quicktime Conversion using the H.264 codec. Again I have a file that plays fine in QT, but when I try and import this .mov file into DVDSP4, I get the message "imcompatible format".
In summary, I am completely frustrated after many many hours of work at trying to prepare an HD-DVD on red laser of my slide show in DVDSP4. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong, and I would be most appreciative of any suggestions anyone may have.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Am I the only person who has ever tried to use the Presets in Compressor 3 for encoding HD-DVD disks? I would like to use these presets for burning HD-DVD's to standard red laser media as I have done on my PC. With the mpeg2 Preset I can get nothing but stuttering video when played back on my Toshiba HD-A2 and when I use Compressor 3 to encode with either of the H264 presets, the resulting .mov file causes DVDSP4 to crash when I import the file. Has no one else experienced this? Does anyone have any thoughts on addressing these issues other than to go back to working on my PC?
