Is the MPEG-4 Export Quailty any Good?

I want to be able to use FCE4 to export a HDV 1080 HD movie to MPEG4 so I can put the video on a Vista Media Center PC and play it on my HD TV via an Xbox 360...
Does anyone have any experience with this type of export? (HDV to 1080 MPEG 4?)
Is there any noticable quality loss?

mpeg-4 right now is one of the most advanced formats for compressions vs quality. make sure to use h.264 to enconde the vid. put a good bitrate and a multi pass encoding and you'll see how good are the results sony's latest camera film is in avchd which is the same as h.264, but they use very high bitrates to get ultra quality. just set your bitrate in function of size vs quality.

cheers!

  • I want to download pictures from a Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo to my iPad 4. There is no cord for the camera and the USB dongle requires too much power through the camera connector kit. Any good solutions?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • I have discs but no longer have the laptop. Are they any good to anyone?

    Hi, all. While cleaning out my garage (doesn't everyone do this over the Holiday break?) I ran across the box that my laptop came in, and inside were all the original OS X installation discs and reinstall discs. Are these of any use to anyone? I no longer have the laptop, nor do I know where it is. Can anyone advise?

    Welcome to the Apple forum.
    The disks are usually specific to the computer, so you can probably trash them. They would not work on any computer.
    Also, since you are running Cheetah, you would have done better posting in the 10.3 and earlier forum:

  • MPEG-2 export in FC 4.5

    How do I regain the mpeg-2 export choice under quicktime conversions in my Final Cut export after I upgrade my Quicktime player to Quicktime Pro 7?

    Hi
    All info by Lennart - but in another way:
    A. don't put a mini DVD into Your eMac. You need a trayloaded DVD to do this.
    B. Read what Karsten collected:
    DVD back to iMovie:
    .. and here the complete 'full 9 yards' ... :
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3822853&#3822853
    DVDs are in a socalled delivery format (mpeg2), which isn't meant and
    made for any processing as editing... or, as honorable forum member
    QuicktimeKirk stated: I use the analogy of the old Polaroid
    "instant" cameras. Push the button, wait for the print to develop and
    show it off. ..
    for using the iLife apps, you have to convert'em first, in
    recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    • DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    • Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    • VisualHub (23.32$)
    • Cinematize >60$
    • Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    • Toast 6/7/8 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    • connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    • Drop2DV (free) a free tool claiming to convert DVDs into dv-stream...
    • Use iSquint for your conversions : www.iSquint.org

    none of these apps override copyprotection mechanisms as on commercial dvds...

  • Are these any good TP-Link TL-WR1043ND

    Hi,
    Just looking to replace the HH3 as I find my speed slows right down until rebooted. Once I have done this it works great for a few days and then slows right down again. I am only rebooting the HH3 and the modem stays on so makes me think it is the unit. Just wondering what experiences other people have out there and wheather the above box would be any good to replace the HH3 with.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Logic synths any good for producing ambient/meditative/spacescape sounds?

    Hi
    I'm thinking of switching from a PC/Cubase to Mac/Logic Studio. However there are loads and loads of smaller synths/vsts that only run on the PC.
    Are the synths in Logic Studio any good at producing ambient/meditation/spacescape/atmospheric types sounds?(or does anybody know of any VSTs that are? Atmosphere is a bit pricey and I already have Absynth).
    The sort of sounds I'm interested in are by synths such as these:

    Hi, I have to say I'm not familiar with parallels or fusion (I'll check them out though thanks). But it sounds interesting. I have held off installing windows on my mac because I want to become familiar with OSX before I get involved(if ever). I have tried running logic 8 and cubase 4 together and that was interesting. Mainly because the atmosphere plugin (which runs on a wrapper basis under logic / intel at the moment) actually worked within cubase 4 on my intel mac(as the old vst which did not use rosseta(I think?), and quite well. The problem I had was I could play atmosphere from within logic, in cubase with my virus ti as a controller but it would not play back after recording, but that was because the ti was setup in both progs as the midi input! I was amazed it actually worked to some degree. It really boils down to what it is you want to achieve I suppose. I have spent most of this year waiting for software updates so I can a) get stuff fully working on the intel mac platform, and of course, being the fool that I am, b) waiting for updates so they could once again work with leopard! When I think back to the days of me, my atari and my akai sampler, I used to get stuff done! Now i just seem to be looking for updates all the time.... No excuses though, they were my decisions! Ah well, it's all good fun I suppose. Not much help i'm afraid....Cheers.

  • I need to export Quicktime files using the PhotoJPEG, MJPEG-A, or DV codec.  Is this possible in Final Cut Pro X?  In the options under export I don't see any of these available.

    I need to export Quicktime files using the PhotoJPEG, MJPEG-A, or DV codec.  Is this possible in Final Cut Pro X?  In the options under export I don't see any of these available.  I'm a newbie to this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm importing .MOV files from my Canon 5Dmk2 at 1080p.  So should I just export using a different codec and then use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip to convert to an MJPEG-A or PhotoJPEG codec?

  • APE 12 exporting to MPEG only the audio is rendered not the video. Exports to other formats.

    When exporting (rendering) a HD video through Adobe Premier Elements  12 to MPEG only the audio is rendered not the video. Exports to other formats.

    I'm actually surprised that you can playback ProRes files in Windows Media Player, which normally exploits neither QuickTime components, nor reverse-engineered decoders from ffmpeg library... So as to be able to successfully import ProRes media into Adobe products you have to get QuickTime 7 installed (the latest version is 7.7.4). If your files are not corrupted and you didn't somehow install something like K-Lite codec pack on your machine, you should be good to go.

  • I have huge lag with Safari's Reading List using a rMBP. I have probably 80 articles saved, which is likely the cause of the lag. Is there any way to export that list of articles so as to be able to delete them from Reading List but still have a record?

    I'm currently dealing with this issue myself, except that my rMBP has NO articles in the reading list.  It's a brand new rMBP too, purchased just this week, with the 2.6 Ghz Processor & 16GB of RAM.
    Let's see what we can find.  I may just take it back to the Apple Store.

  • Any way to reduce the resolution when exporting to .pdf

    We are emailing reports.  On some reports with a large number of jpegs we are hitting a size limitation.  It would be helpful to reduce the resolution on the jpegs when exporting to .pdf.  Any way that would be possible?

    Hi,
    Need more info-
    VS version? or the developing application?
    CR Version? Are you directly emailing your reports from CR designer?
    Also once the image is fetched by the report, we can not make any changes in the image, as a work around you need to do required changes in the image before adding it to the reports, and as far as I know it is not possible through code, but we can wait for other responses though.
    Sincerely,

  • Any Good Ideas on the Best iPhone 4S...

    I have looked at so many covers, cases for the iPhone.  Does anybody know of an excellent case that protects the iPhone 4S without blocking any of the ports or display?  I recently saw this holster that looked cool but seemd not quite what I am looking for.  I have a strong tendancy to be hard on items like the iPhone even know I try not to.  I have tried the Otterbox, which did not really protect much.  somebody had told me about one that I looked at at Best BUy, but I saw their website too and it loked pretty good but right now I forget the name.  I would like to be about to hook it up to the Mophie Juice Pack without having to take it out of the case.  any suggestions?

    For the majority of the time, I go caseless. I don't like them because debris becomes trapped and requires cleaning every few days, not to mention random scratches. I would, however, invest in a screen protector. Just a basic one. Or, ZAGG Invisi-shield.
    I stress this however if you follow my advice: be careful. It isn't hard.
    Do you have the Mophie case already? If not, I discourage buying it. Battery life should be long enough with moderate usage. If you already do, you may want to look into a pouch for the HTC Evo, since I think it will be about that size with the case on.

  • In my Music Library the MPEG format files are greyed out and I cannot edit them, any ideas?

    I have imported both ACC and MPEG files into my Itunes music library. On the ACC tunes I can edit information through Get Info command. On the MPEG tunes I cannot edit the information through Get Info command as all entries are greyed out. Any ideas?

    I don't understand your last paragraph.
    "The home page also has a full bar ..." What does "full bar" mean? " ... instead of the tray it had before."  What does "tray" mean?
    Anyway, you might try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    I guess that cannot make things any worse.
