IOS Client Video Streaming with Chapter Markers

Are there any ios client applications that will receive an h.264 video stream and provide a list of chapter markers for the video?
It seems AVFoundation definitely supports this: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/AudioVideo/RN-AVFoundation-O ld/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40011199-CH1-SW6
However, I can't find any client applications out there that seem to support this. I can't even really get a clear answer as to whether or not HTTP Live Streaming for iOS has a feature for providing chapter metadata.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

My most sincere of apologies. My "instruction redo" for clarity included a cerebral gaseous emission in the one place that was most important.
Step 6 should read "Select "Movie""
1. Go to iTunes->Home Videos
2. Right-click the video
3. Choose "Get Info"
4. Click the "Options" tab
5. Click the "Media Kind" pull-down menu
6. Select "Movie"
7. Click "Okay"
Fell into that trap where you read something over several times to make sure you got everything correct, but you aren't really looking because you KNOW you got everything right.
Not only that, but I got it wrong the first time as well, although Florbid got it right (for Windows) in spite of my initial blundering. If you read my first post, I say to select "Video", which was supposed to be "Movie" even then.
Hope this relieves your frustration. But if it doesn't solve the problem, I have no other answer.

Exporting video in 16:9 with chapter markers in fcp

I have been triyng to export a video in 16:9 with chapter markers but when opened with idvd I can only get either the format or the chapters by using two diferent procedures. Is there any way I can have it in the right format and with the chapter markers? If not, is there any other program, lets say dvd studio pro, that can do it. How should I export them?
Thank you all for your help.

Its SD, I found a way to export it so it would understand anamorphic but them I dont have the chapter marks.
I will try the other forum, thank you.

Problems with rendering a 16:9 project with Chapter markers to iDVD

Hi there
I'm having an issue where I'm trying to export a DVD for a client with chapter markers as it's required. Problem is when I put the project into iDVD the project squishes back to 4:3 ratio.
One solution that was on here was to use the Quicktime Conversion to create a 16:9 video however when I use Quicktime conversion I lose the chapter markers
I need to have both 16:9 ratio and Chapter Markers in the DVD how do I overcome this problem?

Anamorphicizer didn't work.
I can use Quicktime Pro cause I currently have Quicktime X on my computer (snow leopard) which doesn't have a Pro upgrade.
Any myDVDedit is really confusing to use do I have to export the DVD into a VIDEO_TS file to fix it? I'm still puzzled

Exporting QT with Chapter markers for iDVD

When I export a QT with Chapter markers for iDVD I get one movie file then a number of "AV" files - what are these and what do I do with them?
workflow as follows:
1.Place chapter markers in timeline using mm the Add Chapter Markers
2. set in/out points in timeline
3. export quicktime movie
4. select include Chapter Markers and include audio/video
5. do NOT select recompress all frames
6. DO select make self contained movie.
7. Open exported movie file in Quicktime and chapter markers are present
8. import ONLY the movie file to iDVD (NOT the AV files?) and answer yes to read all chapter markers
9. burn seems to work fine but when I playback on DVD player there is digital stuttering in the picture
Any ideas on how to remedy the problem?
thanks in advance
patrick

The project is only 75 minutes. Do think it is the codec that iDVD is using that is causing the stutter. I assumed that it always encodes using MPG2.
Any idea what the AV files are?
When I export as an uncompressed DV stream the file is 15 GB.
When I export as uncompressed QT I get one file (movie) at 2.5 GB then
5 more "AV" files that are each 2.5 as well. So when I import the movie file without the AV files am I missing something?
Should I look into DVD Studio Pro? I have version 1.5 but I am fairly unfamiliar with it.

Missing with chapter markers after Export Using QuickTime Conversion

I have my FCE workflow setup as follows:
I create the sequences using relatively large video source files, in Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
Then, I use Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion to H.264 Codec, but my chapter markers are lost.
If I use Export -> QuickTime Movie, the chapter markers are preserved, but the codec is still AIC.
I need a compressed file with chapter markers. What am I missing?

One more time: "Where are you looking at the exported file? After making a DVD or somewhere else?"
Can you answer this for me? How are you looking at this material? Off the DVD you've burned? Is that what you're saying? Comparing the QuickTime Movie export to a DVD burned from a PhotoJPEG export? Or are you playing it from the computer to HDMI? If so are you using the QuickTime player? Is the QT player set to high quality playback? Yes, PhotoJPEG (not JPEG Photo) is a very large file especially at full quality. You probably don't need any more than 75% quality. I'd be very surprised if you say you can see the difference between 75% and 100%.
The length of the video is important not the size of the disc. iDVD's compression is fixed by the length of movie and the amount of content that has to be encoded.

Hi
Got problem with Chapters too - It was my own fault.
A. Must Use Chapter Marks - not just only Marks
B. Must NOT - fiddle with the text in this box set - I thought me to be clever by renaming as I wanted them to be - Result = No Chapter Marks.
Do the re-naming in iDVD - here it's OK and works.
C. The export over to iDVD Export as
• EXPORT With Chapter Marks
• Not self-containing - not important but saves Time and Space
• QuickTime movie - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION - AT ALL ! !
D. This file I import (drop) into a BRAND NEW iDVD Project - Never go back to update as this set's off the iDVD BUG. If error in movie found and need of change - THEN Start a Brand New iDVD project and all will be well.
(E. Never let iDVD convert from NTCS to PAL or other way around and not feed it 24fps video - as result will be BAD) - If of need - Please come back for instr. on how.
Yours Bengt W

How to play live Video Stream with Flex?

I'm trying to get Flex Builder 3 to play a live video stream with Flash Media
Server and Flash Live Media Encoder.
I'm able to stream pre-recrorded (vod) flvs in flex from flash media server.
I'm able to stream live video using Flash/FMS/Flas Live Media Encoder, but not
with Flex.
This code streams pre-recorded Video on Demand flvs, but not live streams:
If I change source to "rtmp://localhost/live/livesream.flv, I get nothing.
What am I doing wrong?

Oh and sorry for the double post. I didn't know there was a seperate FMS forum.

That worked! Thanks *very* much. Stupid of me to forget to set the live attribute to true. Also removed the .flv. BTW: what video component do you prefer?

Using iMovie to Make a DVD with Chapter Markers

All,
Can someone explain the shortcomings of the following workflow to create a simple DVD with chapter markers?
1. Create each "chapter" as a separate project in FCP X.
2. Export each project using "Export project as QuickTime movie using current settings".
3. Import each QT movie into iMovie and place them into a single timeline in the desired order.
4. Add chapter markers at the start of each clip.
5. Choose Share>iDVD from within iMovie.
6. Choose desired templates, etc. then burn the DVD.
I have used this workflow successfully but want to make the best quality DVD possible and am concerned that I am making compromises with this method.
Thanks for your help.
Peter

As long as you aren't "optimizing" the movie when importing into iMovie, I think you aren't doing anything to degrade quality prior to sharing with iDVD.
I've read on other threads that you can add chapter markers using garage band. you might give that a try, as it would let you use just one project and would save you time if you have a lot of chapters. Export the same way from FCPX (quicktime, use current project settings) but open in Garage Band instead. Place chapter markers, then share to iDVD.
but want to make the best quality DVD possible
You should know weak link in your workflow regarding quality is iDVD, because you have extremely little access the settings that actually control quality. iDVD might end up creating an excellent quality DVD, but without knowledge of bitrate and whether it is VBR multipass vs CBR, you can't be sure.
Unfortunately, there is really no low cost option I know of (other than iDVD) on the Mac for creating "the best quality DVD possible" that also gives you flexible authoring tools (e.g., templates, menus, etc).

Capturing Video stream with JMF under LINUX??

How does exactly AMS sync a video stream with another stream of audio only ?

I have the following situation: 2 instances of FMLE on one machine and another machine with AMS Starter.
The instances of the FMLE are:
1. Video H.264 + audio MP3
2. Audio only MP3 - track 1
The application on AMS is a livepkgr/_definst_ and i am using HDS with a live event
I have an OSMF based player to consume the streams and to do audio switch using late binding audio.
When I consume the Video with the Default audio everything works just fine. The problem is that when I try to consume the Video with the other audio track, the audio tack has a 1 second delay compared to the video.
I have tried to fix this by changing the configurations on the FMLE, but it doesnt seem to work. So I really want to know how does exactly AMS syncronize differents streams, in this case a video stream with a different audio stream.

First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
Good luck,
Hunt

Trouble compressing with Chapter Markers

I have a very large (136 gigs) 10 bit uncompressed quicktime of a 17 minute movie. Knowing that DVD Studio Pro will only let me place chapter markers on I frames, I brought my quicktime into final cut and placed 5 chapter markers exactly where I want them. I've now tried to export that quicktime with DVD Studio Pro markers and then compress into an MPEG-2 in Compressor. I've also exported with chapter markers and then compressed into an MPEG-2. I've also tried sending my sequence straight to Compressor and, using one of the tabs, "maintained DVD Studio Pro meta-data." No matter what, every time that I bring my final compressed MPEG-2 into DVD Studio Pro, the chapter markers do not appear. Any thoughts? Am I doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Welcome to the Boards
When you open the movie in QuickTime are you seeing the markers? Have you tired using Export -> Chapter Markers (not DVD SP Markers?)
Take a look here shows selection of Chapter Markers on export

Also is a basic cheat when markers are causing issues...

Converting NTSC to PAL with chapter markers

Hey guys,
I have just a quick question.
I am making a home made video. I did all the editing in FCP and made a great DVD in iDVD. I would like to do the same thing in PAL format so I can send it to my parents in Europe. My original footage is in NTSC. I did my own research and tried using compressor to change format to PAL.
I tried several different settings (PAL DV, Mpeg 2 PAL) but the outcome movie is always missing chapter markers.
I also tried to import the PAL movie (after conversion in Compressor) to FCP and added chapter markers but did not work.
Does anybody know how to convert the format from NTSC to PAL and keep the chapter markers at the same time? I would like to mantain as high quality as possible.
Thanks for your help.

Well, this seemed to work. However, being completely new to converting to PAL, I was surprised to see the "jumpiness" that goes along with the frame rate drop. Looking at it taxes the eyes as it seems like its dropping frames every so often. I realize, through more research that this is due to the 25 FPS nature of PAL plus the fact that I'm converting and not just authoring from PAL material. Having said this, is there a tried and true way of "smoothing" this jumpiness that anyone would share?
A friend of mine suggested that when I place the file into DVDSP, I choose the TOP field in the encoding tab, prior to burning the disk. In the past I have always left the FIELD menu set at Auto. He says that setting it to TOP might help a little.
He also told me that a lot of the software based converters don't do the best of jobs. Although acceptable results may come from tweaking the settings, the best way to convert NTSC to PAL (with the most pleasing results) is by using a very high end converter (not a computer). Although you have to weigh out the circumstances such as how many disks will eventually be converted compared to available budget, is it worth spending a little extra for a master that will ultimately see 1,000 copies?
I'm planning on showing my client the burn with field dominance set to TOP, on Monday. Hopefully she'll find it acceptable and I'll be able to move on with this project. Thanks for all the help!

How to receive video stream with different codec

Hello Experts,
I am transmitting the video stream from a system using RGBFormat with dimension 320x240 but at the receiver side in the absence this CODEC I need to receive the stream with RGBFormat dimension 160x120.
I request you to please guide me that how can I do this.
Apart from this please let me know that is there a way through which I can add codec RGBFormat with dimension 320x240 ?

I am transmitting the video stream from a system using RGBFormat with dimension 320x240 but at the receiver side in the absence this CODEC I need to receive the stream with RGBFormat dimension 160x120.You need to do what exactly? Can you explain that better, because, that doesn't make much sense to me. You want to transmit a video stream at 320x240 and have the client receive it at a different resolution that you sent it at... that just doesn't make sense.
I'd like to mail you a letter on a legal sized sheet of paper, but I'd like for you to receive it on standard paper... See? Doesn't really make any sense...
Apart from this please let me know that is there a way through which I can add codec RGBFormat with dimension 320x240 ?The RGB format is already defined for JMF, it just doesn't have an RGB-RTP variant for sending over RTP...and creating all of the things you have to create to make JMF send in RGB is pretty complex, complicated stuff.

Self-contained QT with Chapter Markers

Hope this is the right forum:
I use FCE HD
My buddy uses latest versions of FCP and DVD SP.
I have an FCE Project/Movie with Studio Pro Chapter Markers. Can I make this into a self-contained Quicktime Movie, give it to my bud, and can he now drop that into DVD SP and create a DVD with Pro menus and my chapter markers?
Thanks in advance

Yes!
Once the QT file has been exported from FCE, you need to turn on the chapter text track of this QT file, so that the chapters show up in DVD SP. You can do this in QT Pro, by loading the QT file and pressing Command + J, then place a check in the text track for the chapter markes and then save/close the QT file before encoding with Compressor.
Once he gets the QT file, (self contained QT file) he needs to use compressor to encode the QT file into a Mpeg2, (.m2v) file. He will also need to encode the audio, (if he is using DVD SP 4.x) into .ac3, using compressor 2. This can all be done in one batch, using Compressor 2.
Once the video and audio are formated into Mpeg2 and AC3, those files can be brought into DVD SP and the DVD authoring process can begin.

All I want is a QuickTime Movie with chapter markers :)

Hi,
This should be simple . . . very simple . . . but I don't think DVD Studio Pro will do it? I have a QuickTime movie - shot with the HVX200, overcranked - stunning video with numerous chapter markers created in Final Cut Pro exported as a self contained movie. I love the way you can click the little window at the lower right side of the QT player, and the chapter markers just drop drown so you can choose which one you 'd like to see.
I'd like to create a DVD of exactly that . . . what looks like a QuickTime player where I just click the little play triangle, and it plays. To see chapter markers, just click the little number (chapter marker) at the bottom of the screen - and voila - the chapter marker dropdown comes down. Is there a way in DVD Studio Pro to simple let the quicktime movie look exactly like . . . the quicktime movie? No menus, no special screens - just the QT player window and movie in it !
Can this be done? Thanks very much for considering.
Larry
Thanks

Thank you, Eric. On one hand this is "Solved" because you're confirming what I want doesn't exist - so I can put it to bed! On the other hand . . . you were "helpful" because you didn't SOLVE the problem!
Welcome to life
Thanks for confirming what I believed, though - it's always nice to have other opinions in a decision.
