Highest Quality Recording Setting for Canon Vixia HF R500?

What is the Highest Quality Recording Setting for Canon Vixia HF R500?
Is it AVCHD 60P 28 Mbps or MP4 60P 35 Mbps?
Does the higher bit rate of the MP4 format mean that it is a higher quality recording or not?

  • Best setting for Canon VIXIA HF R21 for YouTube

    I am looking for the best or most optimal setting for shooting video with my Canon VIXIA HF R21 camera.
    I am using a MacBook Pro laptop and Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
    My goal is to produce the best quality videos for a "YouTube" channel. The videos will be for a teenage car show shot outdoors and narrated.
    The current DEFAULT settings are:
    Recording Mode = SP, 1440x1080
    Bitrate = 7Mbps
    Codec = MPEG4-AVC/H.264
    Frame Rate = 60i
    Digital Image stabilization = standard
    Here are possible "alternative selections" - please let me know if any of these settings are better than the Default settings for YouTube.
    Change Recording Mode to
    1. MXP = 1920x1080 @ 24Mbps
    2. FXP = 1920x1080 @ 17Mbps
    3. XP+ = 1440x1080 @ 12 Mbps
    Change Frame Rate to
    1. PF30
    Digital image stabilization
    1. Dynamic
    2. Standard
    3. Off
    I will use Adobe Premiere Elemebnts 10 to upload the final edited video - what setting are the best upload compression settings if I want to upload for the ebst quality?

    BillFlorida, I'm not sure what you're not getting here. Have you tried any of the things we've suggested?
    There are two settings you need to worry about. One is your PROJECT setting. That must match your original footage, as I've indicated. If it doesn't, you're going to get poor performance and video quality.
    The second setting is your OUTPUT setting. That's the only setting YouTube is interested in. If you use the output settings I linked you to above -- working from a project that's been set up properly -- you will get excellent YouTube results.
    Try it. You'll see.
    You'll also see, if you experiment a bit, that there's virtually no difference in the quality of FXP and MXP -- especially if you're going to display your video online. The important thing is that your PROJECT settings match that 1920x1080 AVCHD footage and that you use the YouTube output settings recommended in the FAQs.
    Try it. You will see.

  • Highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;ylt=AooGuxvheq40oC0etoPY8yvty6IX;ylv=3?qid=20090909143724AALIlSP
    *What are the highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?*
    I just got iTunes 9 and I want to know what the HIGHEST quality import settings are with the exception of Apple Lossless. I usually import cd's as
    AAC
    Stereo Bit Rate: 320kbps
    Sample Bit Rate: 48.000 kHz
    Channels: Stereo
    Now when I go into the custom menu and try to set these settings, it gives me an error message that reads the following:
    "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed."
    I was thinking about using WAV but I want a format that will be compatible with other/future personal media players as well such as Zune's and Creative MP3 players. Right now I have an iPod and don't plan on changing anytime soon. I just want the highest quality sound for my ears to hear.
    so, *What is the highest for AAC?*
    *Should I switch to WAV?*
    & if you could, *What are highest quality settings for the other formats as well.*

    well i personally think you should go with mp3 at 320kbps (max for that file format) main reason for this is that mp3 is compatible with pretty much everything, where as aac isn't although it is getting a bit better. the main difference between aac and mp3 is in the lower bit rates, i.e aac 128kbps sounds equivalent to mp3 192kbps (suppoesdly) but when you go from 192kbps and up both file formats sound basically the same, just a variation in file size. ig you want the highest quality for you ipod i would say 320kbps mp3. anything higher isn't worth it becuase most earphones cant even pick it up, only if you have high quality ones.

  • How to build dynamic databases(record set) for mobile?

    Hi All ,

    how to build dynamic databases(record set) for mobile?

    In the load rule in the dimension build settings you would need to go to the tab dimension definition, choose the time dimension and right click on it. Select Edit properties. If you have not done so, set the dimension to be the time dimension. Then go to the generations/levels tab and set the generation names you need. For example if you want YTD, you would set the generation name to Year, if you want QTD set it to Quarter. You would set the number to the generation number that coorisponds to the generation. The DBAG has the list of names for all of the DTS members.

  • Canon vixia hf r500 streaming video?

    Hello all, 
    I recently purchased a Canon Vixia hf r500.  I bought it because I was told you could stream video with it.  I run a weekly podcast where we stream the video live on upstream.  I've been trying to figure out how to use this as a webcam but I've been left scratching my head.  Is there anyone familiar with this camera and how to pull this function off?  
    When I plug in via USB the camera is recognized as a mass storage device but when I opened ustream the camera is not found. 
    Thanks for any help you can give. 

    You may need to use the HDMI cable and a video capture device.  I'm not sure the USB port can be used for streaming video.  You might be able to use the optional STV-250N Stero Video Cable and connect it to a video capture device but I don't think the quality will be near as good as using the HDMI cable.  However using the optional cable and a compatible capture device would be less expensive than the HDMI option.
    Analog capture devices (not an all inclusive list):
    Elgato Systems USB Analog Video Capture Device
    Diamond VC500 One Touch USB Video & Audio Capture for Windows

  • Camera Setting for Canon HFM31

    I uploaded a whole bunch of video with my Canon Vixia HFM31 camera. I had set my camera for the second best setting recording mode FXp 17mbps, Frame rate 60i...I assumed this setting was 720 60i lite, but after I would upload I would place a picture on the work space and then I would get a warning that it wasn't the right setting. I think it reads HD1080. Anyway, my pans and tilts sometimes jumps or studders a bit, making the shot not smooth. When I watch in the preview it is smooth. I thought maybe by redering the clip it would show better, but it doesn't seem to render. So, I'm wondering if the work area format is correct. Can someone please let me know what the best uploading setting is for a Canon Vixia HFM31. I have over 2 hours of footage and 3 days of work, there must be a simple solution to make my camera movements look as smooth as they do on the camera.
    thanks

  • Poor quality noise reduction for Canon G10

    I recently bought a Canon G10, and I am disappointed at the quality of RAW conversions done by ACR/LR at anything approaching a high ISO. The out-of-camera JPEGs show much superior noise reduction to what I can get from RAW files, no matter how I tweak the noise reduction settings.
    At ISO 80-100 both look essentially identical.
    At ISO200 JPEGs show less and tighter grain than I can manage with RAW (unless I nuke the details with luminance reduction), but both are still very good.
    At ISO400 ACR/LR's RAW conversion starts to fall apart. Chroma NR in RAW is still handled well, the grain size in RAW is much larger than the camera's JPEGs. I need to apply a lot of luminance NR to reduce the RAW grain to match the JPEGs, and when I do that I lose a lot of detail. And even then, the larger grain isn't as attractive as the JPEG.
    At ISO800 this problem is even worse. Big ugly blobs abound in the RAW conversion. The JPEGs don't look great, but they're very usable, especially if you're willing to dip the shadows a bit to hide the worst of the noise.
    ISO1600 is interesting. The JPEGs don't look great; there's a healthy amount of noise, and NR kills a lot of fine details. But the image is usable for 4x6's or sometimes even an 8x10. But the RAW files are awful! Even cranking chroma NR to 100, there's color noise to be seen. And even with very careful use of luminance NR and sharpening I can't results that are anywhere close to JPEG's level of detail and noise.
    I understand that P&S cameras like the G10 are very noisy by DSLR standards and so this might not be a focal point of ACR/LR development, but I'm surprised and disappointed that the JPEG engine in the G10 can do a better job handling noise than ACR/LR. I guess my hope is that ACR/LR will at some point offer improved NR so I can create photos using RAW that look as good as JPEGs straight out of the camera. As it is right now I'm in the unfortunate position of shooting JPEG at high ISO to get usable noise performance. My dilemma is whether to even bother shooting RAW+JPEG when this IQ might be the best I ever get from ACR/LR for the G10.
    I suppose my favored solution would be to either implement or license NR technology that matches NeatImage/NoiseNinja/NoiseWare. That feature alone would be worthy of justifying a 3.0 version for me. :)

    Jeff, I won't debate that the output from the G10 at ISO800+ is poor.  It most certainly is!  And I know that simply eliminating the scads of noise in a G10 high ISO shot won't restore the detail the noise killed in the first place.  But with every other camera I've used with ACR and LR, the color noise slider eliminates all color noise at or before the "100" setting.  So I was surprised when that wasn't possible with the G10.
    I don't currently own a camera that puts out an image quite as noisy as the G10 at ISO1600, but what about the A900 at ISO6400?
    http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/AA900/AA900hLL6407XNR.HTM
    Or the 50D at ISO12800?
    http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E50D/E50DLL12807XNR.HTM
    Both of those are horrifically noisy.  Worse than the G10 at ISO1600, I'd say.  But those cameras certainly aren't crap. They just offer ISO settings higher than some consider acceptable. But then again, some people consider anything higher than ISO200 on a 5D unacceptable, so it's obviously all relative. Point being, I would expect ACR to do the best job it could for any camera it supports, not just the best job it can do for only some of the cameras it supports.
    In any case, I want ACR to be able to remove the color noise from my G10's images, just like it can with my other cameras.  I know the images are sub-standard when measured against a DSLR, but at least to my eyes, even very noisy images can look decent in small prints so long as there aren't big color blobs all over the place.
    As for the luminance noise, I'm happier to live with that.  I'd be happy to eventually pay for a LR upgrade that gives me NR similar to what the high-end third-party apps do, because that feature would make each of my cameras geniunely more useful--and retroactively!  But a simpler request it seems is to recalibrate what "100" means for the G10.  At least then I could dispense with the JPEGs and still make an 8x10.

  • Highest Quality DVD Encoding for 29.97 and 24p DVX Footage

    I want to make sure that in both FCP and in Compressor that I am setup to have the best possible quality SD DVD.
    I have edited footage that is both in 29.97 and 24p from a DVX100a in Final Cut Pro 6.04. My sequence settings are:
    720x480 -NTSC DV 3:2
    Pixel Aspect: NTSC
    Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
    Editing Timebase: 29.97
    Compressor: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC
    Quality: 100
    Video processing and render settings are on the highest setting.
    I am done editing and want to encode to SD DVD using Compressor. My settings are:
    Video Format TAB - Untouched (NTSC, 29.97, 4x3, Field - Bottom First)
    Frame Controls TAB -
    Resize - Best
    Output - Progressive
    Deinterlace - Best
    Adaptive Details - Not Checked
    Anti Alias - 0
    Details Level - 0
    Rate Conversion - Fast
    Set Duration 100%
    Are these settings correct? When I brought the mpeg2 into DVD Studio Pro and put it into a track, it said that it was 720x480i. Shouldn't it be 720x480p? I am a bit confused. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Look, you really need to wrap your head around 24p, 30p, 24pA and 30i.
    Interlace is not an ugly issue. It is a benefit. Interlacing normal on broadcast television. Your TV scans down and back up for each frame... alternating lines. When you shoot 24p on the DVX it puts it to tape where for every 3 frames of progressive it combines FOUR frames to give you TWO additional combined (interlaced) frames. So.. there are 6 sets of 5 frames per 1 second giving you 30 frames per second. If you take those 3 progressive frames by themselves 3x6 is 24 frames per second.
    You OBVIOUSLY want to final out to 29.97 or 30 fps so you'll need those extra 2x6 frames to get you to 30!! If you wanted to final out to 29.97 AND you wanted progressive frames for EVERY frame you should have shot 30p mode.
    Now... when are they ugly? When you are standing still on a frame. When are they unnecessary? When you plan to show them on a computer or progressive monitor. Remember, even when shooting progressive and playing it on a TV you will STILL have the TV doing interlaced scans... the only difference is the down scan is taken from the same point in time as the up scan.
    Plus... you don't capture TO a sequence... you capture the video and edit it IN a sequence. You can still capture the footage in 24p at 29.97 and remove those 2x6 extra frames and edit in a 23.98 sequence.
    Do some reading. It will only help.

  • Smallest / Highest quality DV Cam for iChat

    I'm looking to help my father setup an iChat "station" (hooking his mac mini to his plasma monitor in living room). After using iSight for a long while, I realized I would be much more comforatable having an iChat from my couch, so I hooked up my camcorder, and away I was, zooming, changing exposure, etc. I use a Sony DVR-PC105 digital video camera (camcorder) with my iChat. I'd like it if we could find a camera that fit the following "restraints":
    -very small size (ideally we can mount it tucked behind the monitro, or in the wall?)
    -very high quality (high quality optics, good optical zoom, etc.)
    -firewire out (of course there are ways around this in using usb for iChat, but I want the quality)
    -color
    -OSX compatable (or at least works in OSX)
    -can be either permanent (mounted), or temporary (on a sort-of tripod, and can be used for shooting family videos, etc.)
    Of course we could just buy a small Canon or Sony camcorder, but I'm wondering if there isn't something out there that's smaller, with the same quality. I looked at the JVC HD (hard drive) cams, but apparently only USB out.
    Anyone have any thoughts on what camera might work best for this?

    If you want to play your dvd on a big HD tv you need a dvd-player with upscaler otherwise it will look awful.
    Use DL or export your timeline directly to mpeg2-dvd.

  • Different setting for Canon 7D and 7D2 RAW files?

    Help!  I'm trying to decide whether to return my new Canon 7D2.  I shoot RAW and import my images into Lightroom 5.7.  I've done lots of identical test shots with my old 7D and my new 7D2.  The 7D2 shots usually look softer and cooler and generally of lesser image quality.  I can make up much of the difference using sharpening and tonal work in the Develop module, but this is a hassle.  Can anyone explain why this is happening?  Does Lightroom apply different settings when it imports RAW files from the 7D and 7D2?  Or am I seeing some inherent difference in the cameras.
    Thanks,
    Steve 

    The Adobe Standard profile is an attempt by Adobe to make the look of the camera be the same across different models; however, improvements in sensor technology and processing may lead to some differences so maybe you’re very sensitive to any color differences or maybe there is something wrong.  When the 7D Mark II is cooler is this after you’ve neutralized the WB by eyedroppering on a neutral object (gray card) or could it be the camera detecting a cooler WB, itself.
    A lot of what you’re wondering about could be cleared up by more careful description of the process you’ve followed to ensure the WB is the same between the two cameras—whether it could be a difference in camera detection of WB or a difference in LR rendering of colors other than neutral due to Adobe Standard profile inter-model differences or just a mistake where neutrals aren’t neutral in your comparison.
    If you’d like a separate opinion, post two comparable raw files, one 7D and 7D Mark II, and a screenshot of an X|Y  side-by-side in Lightroom that shows the differences you’re seeing.  Others would be able to say if the differences you’re seeing are within expectations or not.
