How to encode for 1080i?

I have my new HD camcorder and have created my first HD movie. How do I encode for full HD playback on TV? I don't yet have a Blu-Ray burner. I have AppleTV and PS3. No good going for the export to AppleTV option as AppleTV HD is only 720p; and PS3 won't play any .mov file, only mp4/m4v. The trouble is that when I go to export to MPEG-4 export, the higher value video export options, including 1080, are greyed out. I tried the divx HD profile but playback on the PS3 was plagued with little freezes. What to try next?

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I just tried this and I have to say that this produced the very worst video transfer I have ever seen! The pixellation and degradation were very, very severe - and that is an understatement.
Well, I got very good results with the settings I mentioned above. My source is the Apple Intermediate Codec .mov file created by iMovie HD in the project package (in Shared Movies > iDVD) which I guess you're using as well since you say your original footage is over 40 GB for one hour. Sometimes I limit the data rate to as high as 20,000 Kbps (which can probably increase the quality quite a bit), but I've been quite satisfied with the quality of the footage at 15,000 Kbps.
MPEG Streamclip produced a perfectly good MPEG-4 file that is an hour long and only 6.8 GB (the original .mov file is 40GB+), but even though it plays just fine on the Mac, the PS3 says the data is corrupt.
What (exact) settings did you use in Streamclip to create that "corrupt" file? Perhaps one of them is causing the PS3 to see the video as corrupt. Also, how are you transferring the file to the PS3 (DVD, USB key)?
Meanwhile I have settled for an AppleTV m4v file that works, of course, on the AppleTV, but is scarcely better than standard DVD quality. What happened to Apple's era of HD???
It seems (based on how long it takes to convert, compared to other, similar conversions) that exporting for the Apple TV in QuickTime doesn't do 2-pass/multipass encoding, so it looks like it gives priority to speed rather than quality.
Edit: Another question: how do you connect the PS3 to your TV?

  • How to change UTF-8 encoding for XML parser (PL/SQL) ?

    Hello,
    I'm trying to parse xml file stored in CLOB.
    p := xmlparser.newParser;
    xmlparser.parseCLOB(p, CLOB_xmlBody);
    Standard PL/SQL parser encoding is UTF-8. But my xml CLOB contain ISO-8859-2 characters.
    Can you advise me, please, how to change encoding for parser?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Do you documents contain an XML Declaration like this at the top?
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2"?>
    If not, then they need to. The XML 1.0 specification says that if an XML declaration is not present, the processor must default to assume its in UTF-8 encoding.

    Hi ogre,
    To set the encoding scheme for an XML document, you can use the createProcessingInstruction. Our CVIXML instrument driver (which
    is basically and user-friendly wrapper made around the MSXML interface) uses
    this method to specify the version of the XML document. So, what you could do
    is simply modify our existing CVIXML instrument driver to include the encoding.
    It's actually quite simple to do this.
    First off, open up the cvixml.c file
    located in the <CVI>\toolslib\toolbox directory in CVI. Then change the
    value of the constant XML_PROC_INSTR_DATA
    (located on line 42) from "version=\"1.0\"" to "version=\"1.0\"
    encoding=\"UTF-8\"". The save your source file and
    select Options >> Create Object file. This object file
    (cvixml.obj) is attached to your cvixml.fp function panel. 
    To test this out, you could simply use some code like
    CVIXMLNewDocument ("RootElement", &xmlDoc);
    CVIXMLSaveDocument (xmlDoc, 0, "C:\\Test.xml");
    Then the Test.xml document should say
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <RootElement/>
    Hope this helps!

  • How is Default Char encoding for WebLogic determined ?

    How is the defualt char encoding for a Weblogic server determined?
    We have two environments each running Weblogic 5.1 sp8 on Solaris 7. One is production,other
    is for testing.
    For testing german characters I use a TestGlobal.jsp to read parameters using
    servlet API. From the same browser I access this URL
    http://www.xyz.com/TestGlobal.jsp?userName=Tschüß.
    In one I get the param Tschüß correct in the other I get Tschýý
    I know for sure both the properties file are exactly the same.
    I also know that I can work it using the new char encoding property for western
    european alphabts. I want to know how does this work without setting the char
    encoding prop. How is weblogic recognising Tschüß without this prop being set.
    Does the underlying OS make the difference ?
    THanks
    Atish

    In this specific case there are no differences for code points storing character data because used character set is the same.
    But what is your Oracle 4 digits version ?
    Are you sure that database character set and national character set are the same ?
    In recent Oracle versions, database character set and national character set are different. For example:
    SQL> select * from nls_database_parameters where parameter like '%SET%';
    PARAMETER                      VALUE
    NLS_CHARACTERSET               AL32UTF8
    NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET         AL16UTF16Edited by: P. Forstmann on 28 sept. 2011 18:51

  • As a webservice client, how to set character encoding for JAX-WS?

    I couldn't find the right API to set character encoding for a webservice client. What I did is
    1, wsimport which gives me MyService, MyPortType...
    2. Create new MyService
    3. Get MyPort from MyService
    4. Call myPort.myOperation with objects
    Where is the right place to set character encoding and how to set it? Thanks.
    Regards

    The .js file and the html need to have the same encoding. If
    your html uses iso-8859-7, then the .js must also use that. But if
    the original text editor created the .js file using utf-8, then
    that is what the html needs to use.

  • How to encode sql string for SQL Server when using JDBC?

    in code, dynamically generate sql stirng like:
    String sqlstring = "select column from table where column=' " + var + " ' ";
    Question is: if var include char ' , it will cause error becuase ' is reserved by SQL Server for string reference.
    So how to encode string for dynamic sql string? for example, following sql(when var =" I'm tester"):
    select column from table where column like ' I'm tester '

    Use PreparedStatement. Use it all the way. It not only saves you from SQL injections, but also eases setting non-standard Java objects like Date and InputStream in a SQL statement.

  • What's the recommended import encoding for best 'practical' ipod use?

    I just really found out that you can change the import encoding for different quality sound and such and I'm wondering what is the best or most practical quality setting for use on my IPOD? Also how about the best, period? It would be nice to have my favorite albums on my ITUNES in the best quality I can have them.
    Most of my songs are AAC encoded, 128 kbps, 44.1khz, low-complexity, stereo.
    A while ago I was messing around and changed preferences settings and so some music is encoded as MPEG-1 Layer 3, 160kbps, joint stereo, ID3-v2.2.
    How would you import?
    Thanks!

    Meg has a good memory. I do rip in AAC@256 VBR. After experimenting around for about 2 years or so, I have found that this setting yields the best audio quality for my tastes. You have to keep in mind what kind of equipment you are using. If you are using Apple earbuds & internal computer speakers, then it's doubtful that you will be able to tell much difference. I use Shure SE310 earphones & Bose Companion 5 speakers with my computer, so I can most definitely tell lower audio quality files. The last thing to remember is that ripping at a higher bitrate or with a Lossless format will increase the size of your files & thus use more room on your iPod. My AAC@256 files are 2x the size of the same files ripped @128. This doesn't matter to me as I recently purchased a 160GB Classic a few months ago. Hope this helps.

  • How to encode a fileHandler to output french characters ?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to encode a fileHandler to create a file that contains french special characters (è, é, . . . .).
    I tried the following code:
    fileHandler.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1");
    and the following
    fileHandler.setEncoding("UTF-8");
    But still the output returns a question mark instead of the é and a square instead of the é respectively.
    Can anyone advice how to encode the fileHandler to have french characters in the output file ?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. I like this approach as Java is more familiar to me than other languages.
    Our DBA is out of touch today, so I could not grant the javauserpriv to my database user. I tried to run the script anyway in the chance that my user had the privs, and it seemed to have hung. I am now combing Oracle's site for more documentation so I can write some tests to see if I can get a basic Java object working. Under what heading would I find this?

  • H.264/AVC software encoding for cameras

    Hi All,
                 Please let me know, how can we activate H.264/AVC video encoding (new feature in Flash player 11 [H.264/AVC software encoding for cameras]) using actionscript 3 in AIR application, I think, it could not be by default as there are no updates available for flash builder 4.5. So, how can we pick the encoding option. Any new API or methodology for this?
    Any one any idea??

    H.264/AVC software encoding is not turn on by default.  You need to assign the NetStream.videoStreamSettings property an H264VideoStreamSettings object.  Here's a very simple example;
    package
              import flash.display.Sprite;
              import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
              import flash.media.Camera;
              import flash.media.H264VideoStreamSettings;
              import flash.net.NetConnection;
              import flash.net.NetStream;
              public class TestAVC extends Sprite
                        private var _nc:NetConnection;
                        private var _ns:NetStream;
                        private var _camera:Camera;
                        private var _h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings;
                        public function TestAVC()
                                  _h264Settings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
                                  _nc = new NetConnection();
                                  _nc.client = this;
                                  _nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
                                  _nc.connect("some fms server");
                                  _camera = Camera.getCamera();
                        private function onNetStatus(e:NetStatusEvent):void
                                  switch (e.info.code) {
      case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
                                                      _ns = new NetStream(_nc);
                                                      _ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
                                                      _ns.client = this;
                                                      _ns.attachCamera(_camera);
                                                      _ns.videoStreamSettings = _h264Settings;
                                                      _ns.publish("testAVC");
                                                      break;
                        public function onBWDone():void {}

  • Need HDV encoding for backup and encoding in windows.

    Need HDV codex for PC. rather than caputre back to tape then onto my PC with ASpect HD.
    I would like to encode a project and store it on my pc with little to no loss in quailty. Is there any type of codex that will keep te HDV quailty but plays and encodes with WINDOW MEDIA ENCODER? and what are the settings?
    I have done this with DV footage by going to export - Useing quicktime conversion: settings avi -Options - DVCPro. I can't seem to do them same useing HDV. I think the new FC6 can do this. but how?
    thnaks for your help
    Message was edited by: skatesurferdude

    You would need a utility that will encode to your desired format (AVI?). Such utilities would be Sorenson Squeeze, Autodesk Cleaner and Compression Master. Copy it to the Windows system after encoding. And yes, it will take a very long time unless you have a node cluster (render farm) of some sort so you are probably better off sending it back to tape and capturing it natively on the PC if you are wanting to work on the footage there. If you are just wanting to play the video on the PC then encode it.

  • Encoding for blank spaces in url in a sql statement in report

    1. What function or process do I use to encode for blank spaces in a url link in a report?
    I need to link from a report to a 2nd report and pass 5 variables. I believe that I need to do that by embedding my own url in the sql for the report, since the standard report sets up for only 3 variables to be passed.
    One of my variables PARTNER_FIRM has spaces in it, so how do I encode for that in the query. Currently, I have the following (... simplified).
    select partner_firm,
    count(distinct event) distinct_events,
    '<a href="f?p=18509:4:&SESSION.::NO:4:P4_PARTNER_FIRM,P4_QUARTER,P4_CATEGORY,P4_PRODUCT_CATEGORY,P4_EVENT:' ||
    partner_firm ||
    '%2C&P3_QUARTER.%2C&P3_CATEGORY.%2C&P3_PRODUCT_CATEGORY.%2C&P3_EVENT.">' ||
    count(distinct lower(attendee_email)) || '</a>' distinct_attendees
    from all_events ...
    but partner_firm has spaces which are returned. I think there is some way that I can encode for that?
    Thanks,
    Stephen
