How to set/determine live recorded stream video quality?

Hi,
I was wondering if I were to create a NetStream object and publish it passing in "record" (allowing the end user to record a video via webcam which is then stored on the FMS), how would I specify the bitrate and frame rates etc of the video being recorded? Is this something I need to configure flash media server to do or can I do this through action script?
Thanks

FMS will record video at the bitrate/framerate which is published to the server. You'll set your encoding parameters on the client side from where the video is being published.
In the case of flash/flex, you would set this using the setMode and setQuality methods of the Camera class.

Recording streaming videos with sound

Can I use quicktime for recording streaming videos with sound? If not which Apple software can do it?
Bye Christof

You can use Quicktime to record streaming video +with it's audio+ by using a very simple trick. Using the same cable you connect your iPod/iPhone to your car's stereo system, connect your Mac's Audio OUT to its MIKE IN jack. I used FILE / OPEN URL to select the video stream source, then selected FILE / NEW SCREEN RECORDING. In the resulting 'Screen Recording' dialog box, I set the AUDIO slider all the way to the right, and under the arrow to the right, selected "Built-in Input Line In" for the microphone. I then used the appropriate controls to play the stream and record it. The resultant file was very acceptable. Good luck.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

Hi naturalfemale,
As mentioned in the referring article, closed captioning content has to be specifically added/enabled to a video for closed captioning to function:
Additional Information
Not all videos include caption or subtitle tracks. Check the documentation for the video you are using to see if it includes these features.
OS X: Using captioning features in Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5910
At the moment, I do not believe there is an option for universal captioning.

Program That Can Record Streaming Videos Off The Internet

I want to record streaming video

I want to record some streaming video from the Olympics. The sailing events were streamed live and are still available for viewing from some server through the NBC site. I can't figure how to do it.
Anyone know?

I have Toast Titanium 11 and I've never actually gotten the "capture web video" to work. Now I haven't done any extensive reserach on the matter as it's something I've only tried twice and have researched the manual, too - when I select Web Video the progress wheel just turns and turns. Would sure like to know if others have gotten this to work - I'd be interested.

How to merge multiple live audio streams into a single stream in FMS?

I need to merge multiple live audio streams into a single stream so that i can pass this stream as input to VOIP through a softphone.
For this i tried the following approach:
Created a new stream (str1) on FMS onAppStart and recorded the live streams (sent throgh microphone) in that new stream.
Below is the code :
application.onAppStart = function()
application.myStream=Stream.get("foo");
application.myStream.record();
application.onPublish = function (client,stream)
      var streamName = stream.name;
      application.myStream.play(streamName,-2,-1};
The problem is that the Stream.play plays only 1 live stream at a time.As soon as a the 2nd live stream is sent to FMS then Stream.play stops playing the previous live stream.So,only the latest live stream is getting recorded.Whereas i need to record all the live streams in the new stream simultaneously.
Any pointers regarding this are welcome.
Thanks

well i tried this once for one of my scripts and the final conclusion is its not possible to combine two streams into 1.....how would you time/encode the two voices......there is no know solution to this in flash. If you continue on despite me and find a solution please post it so we can explain to rest of world.

Determining progressive vs streaming video

What is the best way to determine if a playing video is Progressive or Streaming?
I see the Media player has the downloadableChange event:
org.osmf.events.MediaPlayerCapabilityChangeEvent.DOWNLOADABLE_CHANGE
MediaPlayerCapabilityChangeEvent has an enabled property. So I guess true means it is now downloadable. It would be nice if this was a property on the MediaPlayer class.
- Randy Troppmann

Hi Brian,
While I am sure other reasons will crop up ... the current one has to
do with displaying a "bytes loaded progress bar" in the control bar in
the case of Progressive video. Of course in the case of Streaming
video this bar would not show. I have not even started to think about
the PVR functionality of pausing live stream yet.
I've tried the events related to "downloadable" "bufferable" and
"loadable" but they seem inneffective in this case.
I did, however see that bytesTotal does not get fired for Streaming
and bytesLoadedChange fires but is NaN. I can use those to achieve my
goals.
A helper method for this would be useful!
Thanks!

Recording Streaming Video-Audio

A class I'm taking does not offer a permanent written syllabus or treatise to retain for reference, only a streaming video-audio. Is there any way to record or capture the show on either my iMac 20" Intel or MacBookPro Intel? This is strictly for my own use and reference.
I presume this would somehow go into iMovie HD, which of course I have on these machines as part of OS X 10.4.9.
Thanks for the help and suggestions.

How do you access the stream? I.e. what format is it in, and what applications can you use to watch it. Some players allow you to save (or export) the stream. Some streams are setup so that these options become disabled in the player.
Unless you want to edit the video after you captured it, iMovie will not be part of the solution.

Record Streaming Video from Computer

I need to "capture" streaming video that plays on a computer.
I can't seperate out the file, just need to record as it plays. If
Captivate can't do it, does anyone know of another program that
can?
Thanks much!

I have had this problem with TechSmith's software as well.
Try turning off video hardware acceleration.
Also, make sure you don't move anything once you've begun.
Oddly, even screen recordings made with TechSmith's Morae recording .NET 3 applicaitons can lose the content and present a black screen.
Here's the drill:
    Record a software interaction.
    Edit and export video. (If you move the editing window, the recorded image seems to stay where it was, but becomes invisible. Sort of like sliding a cropping guide off a picture and onto a table.)
    Launch video player and play recording
    Move video player.
    Recording disappears until you put player back where it was.
I've had similar problems with Camtasia and SnagIt.

How to set brightness and contrast of video please

Hi, how can I set brightness and contrast of video in OSMF please?
I tried add filters to MediaContainer and VideoSurface of VideoElement, but doesn't work.

I think I find the reason, OSMF uses StageVideo other than Video when StageVideo is available. StageVideo doesn't support filters or mask.
So the answer would be no way unless I switch back to Video.

Private Streaming Video Quality

I have been using the private streaming video feature and I've noticed that the video quality on the receiving end is degraded. If I stream video to the entire room it looks fine on all the subscribers, but a private stream to a single subscriber is degraded.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,
We don't do anything special for private streaming except showing it to just the required user. There is no change in the connection or streaming as Nigel mentioned. So, It's kind of weird. I will get along with QE sometime to see if there is any difference between the private streams and streams received by everyone.
Thanks

How do I record streaming video?

I want to record some programs on an internet TV site. It streams programs 24 hours a day. How do I do that? I tried using Safari and going to Activity to find the video but it didn't work for me.

This is the link of what I am trying to record.
http://kbsworld.rayv.com/Video/Live.aspx
Here is a screenshot:
I had a browse around and I found a few free ones. Jing is OK but it only records for five minutes. There are demo versions you can try out there for free but they are limited in features, so no sound, logo over the screen etc.
I wonder if I can use VLC. The instructions looked complicated though.

How to sync audio from recorder and video from DSLR?

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 9. How do I sync mp3 files recorded in a separate audio recorder (yamaha) and DSLR (Sony A7)?

JayMisra108
On what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 9? And, please install the 9.0.1 Update if you have not already.
Are you wanting to sync the audio to a video file from which its audio has been removed?
If so, right click the Timeline video, and, from the pop up menu, select Delete Audio.
Then import your .mp3 files to an audio file, and align them with the video file on the video track.
For fine adjustments, as you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once. One tap = nudge of one frame.
Or, as you hold down the Shift+Alt key of the computer main keyboard, tap the left or right arrow key once. One tap = nudge of 5 frames.
Consider: Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and setting Display Format = Milliseconds.
Please review. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
