How to export video that plays back smoothly?

I have an HD project in Premiere Pro CS4 that is about 9 minutes. When I render out to Flash for the web, once it's all buffered it plays back real smooth. So the client wants a copy of the "file" to be played on his computer running Windows and Windows Media Player which he will attach to a large 55" flatscreen via HDMI at a trade show. I rendered out several different files ranging from .MOV to H.264 in various resolutions (1920x1080, 1280x720p, 720x480 wide, iPod, etc.) and tested them on my Dell Inspiron i3 laptop running Windows 7 Home 64 bit connected to my 46" tv via HDMI to simulate what the client would have.
The 1920 file was huge (2GB) as one would expect and plays back jerky
The 1280x720p .MP4 file was about 400mb which I was excited about, but plays back jerky
The other two (.MOV and .MP4) at 720x480 play back smoothly
So I'm guessing that it's either a disk / processor issue with playing back the larger files or combo of that and the graphics card or am I having an issue with the way the settings are set in the export options?
The box I'm producing the video on is a Mac i7 quad-core, 8GB RAM and a nice ATI card. The full rez versions of the files play fine on it. BluRay is out too. Don't have a burner and they don't have a player.
So what file format and settings can I render out that will yield smooth(er) results at larger resolutions for my intended output?
Thanks,
Steve

And the answer is.... converting the footage to WMV. Tada. I exported a nice huge HD 1920x1080 H.264 file and then used iSkysoft Video Converter to convert it to WMV. Now the only thing is that iSkysoft Coverter only allows 1280x720 as it's largest resolution for WMVs, but even so, the quality on a 46" LCD TV coming from a laptop via HDMI looks pretty sharp. The video was running very smooth (and it was running off a USB key <g>) to boot.
The file size of the original HD H.264 file: 9.02GB
The file size of the converted WMV: 437.5MB
All in all I'm happy with this breakthrough. I was "this" close to buying a BluRay burner, media and telling the client to use a BluRay player.
Now... I love what I got, but it could be better. Does anyone know of a good video converter that will convert WMVs to true HD resolution (1920x1080) or is that 1280x720 a WMV limit?
Thanks all,
Steve

Hi Def video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly in FCPX

I have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X only an older, but fully compatible IMac, and have a new Panasonic AG-Hmc 40P video camera. I have shot video on my Gro Prop Hero 2 and the playback of the unedited video is perfect, but as I scroll through the unedited footage shoot by the Panasonic, the video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly. The video plays perfectly on the the camera in play back mode, but in FCPX it is junk.
Do I have an incorrect setting that is doing this? I adjusted the palynack in preference but that made no difference. I need help?

FYI...
There's a hidden feature in Mac OS X Lion that you can use to convert your video footage to Apple ProRes with very little effort and to the right specifications...
Bring your video footage into your desktop or hard drive and then select all of them, and then right-right click on one of them to bring up the options menu... select ENCODE SELECTED VIDEO FILES. Mac OS X will take care of the rest for you automatically.
If this option doesn't show up, make sure to install those codecs I recommendad earlier...

I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings, and although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

I am having trouble bouncing and creating an aiff file that plays back. I've checked my output settings which appear to be correct. Although I am able to create MP3s, the aiffs are blank. The happens when I try to export a track as an aiff file - it's blank.

When bouncing, do you use the Key Command or the button on the Output Channel Strip? The Key Command only bounces from the Stereo Output. The bounce button bounces from the Channel Strip it is on. So if you want to bounce out outputs 3-4 or higher, don't use the key command, but the button.
The strange thing here is that Logic, when it bounces an MP3, first bounces an AIFF, which at the end of the bounce process is being converted to MP3, so I can't imagine how you can get a silent AIFF and a normal MP3.
How have you listened to those bounces? iTunes? Quicklook? Quicktime?

I have done an icloud backup on my iPad mini. I now need to get back one of the iMovie videos that I backed up. How do I restore one individual file?

You can't. When you restore from a backup it will restore everything in the backup. You might be able to find a third party app that will allow you to extract individual files from an iTunes backup, but not with an iCloud backup.

Videos not playing back after importing

Hello everyone,
I'm trying hard to migrate my photo collection from iPhoto (and eventually Aperture, which I still use for professional work) to the new Photos app.
What I have noticed, though, is that, besides all photos from iPhone being imported rotated 180°, which is (annoyingly) fixable by hand, Photos will just delete videos from its catalogue. Needless to say, they open fine in iPhoto.
Basically:
On first launch (or consequent start-ups of the app when deleting the Photos library), Photos asks to import a library.
It goes through the import process.
All files are imported correctly (besides the 180° issue), including videos, which play back normally.
Under Preferences, I set the library as System library (in case I deleted the previous Photos library), and turn on the iCloud Photo Library feature.
Somewhere along the process, when I try to access some videos, it says "Photos can't reproduce the file" (translation from my OS X language). In some other videos, a small progress wheel appears on the bottom right, and gets stuck at about one quarter.
I have also tried to import everything by opening manually the "Masters" folder in the old iPhoto library, but then, Photos will give an error regarding duplicate files.
Honestly, all these problems are so un-Apple-like. I'm very frustrated; I've tried to give Photos a chance, but I can't even START using it.
Any suggestions?

I have this same problem, and I did a clean installation.
Hardware:
2009 MacBoook Pro 17" 3.06 C2D; 4 GB RAM, 256 Apple SSD
While loading the browser is quick starting up, I notice a delay to open any website, like it's preloading the entire page versus just loading. Safari seems like it's a bit sluggish overall with loading web pages.
Did a internet speed test and my U/D rates are the same after the upgrade.

My bluetooth seems to have stopped working in my car. Both phone and car audio says it is connected but nothing comes through car speaker. I no longer have screen on iphone that says to choose audio source. How do I get that screen back?

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

If I purchased a movie, from a computer a LONG time ago like 3 years but recently I changed computers how can I get that movie back? p.s. I bought the movie from iTunes

If you don't have the movie on the old computer and you don't have the movie backed up on a disc somewhere, your only choice is to purchase the movie again. Currently, movie downloads are a one time deal andit is your responsibility to have a backup copy.
If you have the movie on the other computer still, you can burn it to a DVD and then copy it over to the new computer.
Personally, I have two computers and when I make a purchase on one, iTunes automatically copies it to the other and I have never lost videos or music in this manner.

I've lost all my music since my last computer died. How do I get that music back without having to pay for it? I read somewhere that there is a "form to request to download iTunes purchases again", is this true?

Media should be included with the backup of the computer that all users should be creating on a regular basis as part of basic computer/data maintenance.
In the event that you do not have a backup (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files)
If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content. They are not required to provide this opportunity.
It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes. On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer. Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.
How do I "disable" or "un-install it"?

Previously Firefox would show a number at the end of the file name (renaming the file by adding a number) showing that I had already downloaded a file at least once before. Recently that isn't happening. How do I get that feature back?

I have somewhat of a similar problem. After iTunes last update, I am missing some of my purchased files of music,ringtones, and TV shows. Possibly movies, but just thought of that and did not look yet. Seems everytime there is an iTunes update, something happens, but usually an easy fix by just deleting music files from CD's that I loaded onto iTunes and no longer recognized after an update and reload from the hard drive. This time I do not have a current back up of all the music, ringtones, and tv shows I have purchased.
So I am also wondering how can I redownload purchases without being charged when there is no file left on the hard drive. It just stays listed in iTunes though.
