Have 3 technical questions with QuickTime formats. Can you help?
Hi everyone,
I have 4 questions.
1)
If you were to rate the following file wrappers on a scale of 1 of 10 (10 offering the highest quality, 1 offering the lowest quality), what would you give the following file wrappers:
MPEG-1
MPEG-2
MPEG-4
MP4
.AVI
.MOV
.FLV
2)
Also, can you give a brief one sentence overview of how efficient each of the above file wrappers are. I've tried Wikipedia, but they don't really put it in laymans' terms.
3)
Which of the following file wrappers are lossy, and which are uncompressed???
MPEG-1
MPEG-2
.AVI
.MOV
MP4
MPEG-4
.FLV
4)
Is there an uncompressed file wrapper you can upload your video to?
Thanks,
rc444
please email me [email protected] as I need this information urgently for my school assignment.
Wrong methodology for your questions.
It's what's inside the wrappers (codecs) that determine file size and quality.
All of those file extension use some level of compression and all are lossy.
The real answer is another question. "What is the format of your source video"? A DV digital camera would come into the computer at 13 GB's per hour and this .dv file can be edited using many different applications.
When you use these .dv files there is no loss in quality from your source. But at 13 GB's per hour the file size make an impractical delivery dilemma. You're forced, in most cases, to export to a delivery media (DVD, Web based files or CD's) and then you much choose other codecs and wrappers.
So now you must ask other questions. "How will my files be viewed"? "How small must the file size be based on the delivery media"? "How much compression and what codecs should I use"?
What do you have and where is it going to be viewed?

I have downloaded iCloud control panel but when I sign in with my iTunes username and password it say they are valid but I don’t have an iCloud account and Iam lost can you help please.
JohnYou are getting this message because you are trying to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account using this ID on your PC.

Question
HP 8500 printer will not print fast on firefox, but does on Safari. HP support says it is a problem with firefox. Can you help me out? editThank you for posting your list of installed Extensions. One of them might be intercepting the menu command. Since you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, it's possible that an older add-on that doesn't actually work well with Firefox 5 could be to blame. Could you try disabling the "HP Smart Web Printing" extension and see whether that makes any difference?
Also, you can simulate a print button on a web site by pasting this to the location bar and pressing Enter. You also can save it as a bookmark for easier access (when scripts are saved as bookmarks, we call them bookmarklets). Hopefully you won't need it for long.

The 4Gs hardware, only 256 MB of RAM, prohibits updating beyond 6.1.6.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -

You (or your kids) inadvertently installed adware. You do not need to download or install anything to fix it.
Any tips on how to stop it from happening?
Yes. To learn how to avoid it in the future read How to install adware.
If you require them, Apple's removal instructions are linked in the Recovery Procedure near the end of that document. Read and follow them carefully. Pay particular attention to the easily overlooked passages directing you to restart your Mac when required. -
I just paid for this and it wont download on my laptop because it is not compatible with the format can adobe give me a different version or not?
And what exactly? you have not provided any system information or otehr useful technical details, so we can't know what is going on.

I created an iCloud account for my sons ipod tried to sign into the App Store and it just keeps coming up with unknown error can you help
Skip the iCloud sign in for now.
Once you reach the home page, go to settings and sign out of FaceTime and Messages. This should also sign you out of iCloud.
Go to iCloud in settings and sign in with the correct Apple ID.
If that does not work
Skip the iCloud sign in
Go to Apple ID.apple.com and sign in
Change your Apple ID to the old one
Delete iCloud account on your device with the old Apple ID and the same password.
Go back to the website, change your Apple ID back to the current one. You will receive an email to verify the account. Verify first.
Sign into iCloud on your device with the correct Apple ID and password
