Is video possible over 802.11?

Due to mobility concerns I have the need to send video over wireless access points to clients. The application however isn't really a streaming or multicast video...its just a web page with hundreds of *.wmv video files served up via a web server. So the video itself is running on HTTP.
Of course wired works like a champ.
One or two clients on 802.11 b/g access points work well with no signs of degradation. But add just a few more all access the web page (training video) and there are severe problems.
Is this kind of application even possible over wireless? I know the application isn't the correct way to distribute video as I begged for multicast - but that isn't going to happen.
Is the inherent half-duplex nature of wireless and such low bandwidth the problem here? Our only solution so far seems to use 802.11a and make micro cells to give as much bandwidth as possible to a few clients.
The background on this is a training center, running a web based training application for 100 people or more. No, I can't do wired as the training stations need to be moved around a mock assembly line.
Thanks in advance. Would any kind of queuing or QoS help here? Access points in question are 1232s with G/A radios but this is more of a "can the technology acutally meet the application's needs?" kind of question.
Thank you again.
John

Hello,
what will solve you problem is the 802.11e standard that will support QoS. It will be an enhancement with 802.11a and b. However you might still have to have small cells to accomodate bandwidth requirements. I do not know for now of a lot of vendor implementing 802.11e. I hope we can get it real fast. Another way of loking at it is to have you streaming video encoding and decoding products (software) have less bandwith consuming streams.
Hope it help.

i'm still looking for solution, but if i there is no solution so i will throw My Own iPhone 4S in the nearest Trash.
(I had got a big problem and thanks for Nokia saved me. and if i don't care about apple products i will never send to you this, so kindly find solution or people in middle east will stop using iphone)

No clue why you cannot make video calls over your cellular operator... have you tried contacting them?
If you're referring to FaceTime, it is currently limited to Wi-Fi only.
Sending files via Bluetooth is not a supported feature of the iPhone or iOS. A simple search of the web or these forums would have made that abundantly clear.
Threatening to throw away valuable items in these forums only serves to make you look less than intelligent. No one here is an Apple employee, we are all users like yourself. As such, we could care less what you do. If you choose to be stupid, that's up to you.
Educate yourself and stop whining.

Distribute video output over three monitors (+ another)

Hi there,
I've got a triple beamer setup + a Cinema Display. My Mac Pro has two ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT cards. What I need to do now is use the monitor as an operating monitor and combine/distribute the triple beamers in such a way that I can play one 1920 x 480 video file over all three monitors simultaneously, for an event.
The two ATI 2600 cards are especially in there to be able to do this, but when I try to combine the monitors through display settings or through the Quicktime settings, it just doesn't seem possible. VLC won't play my ProRes 422 material, but I could re-render off course when the video is done.
Is my only option a bloody €200,- video splitter, or can I do this 'the software way?'. I find it so hard to imagine that what I want wouldn't be possible with all the hardware power I've already got! Friendly greetings, Douwe.

If you click the "?" in the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, it will tell you how to set three out of the four displays to mirror mode, leaving the fourth separate.

Video Chat over Dial-up Connection

Hi,
Is it possible to have a video chat over a dial-up connection? If it is, I'm interested to hear what is the experience like from anyone who has tried it. Is it acceptable? How about having 3 person AV conference, and one connection is dial-up?
I'm looking at buying an MacBook for my parents so they can chat and see the grandkids but they only have dial-up and getting broadband is not really an option since where they are it's still ridiculously expensive.
Thanks for your replies,
Alex

Hi,
Since I started with iChat in 2003 I have only ever seen one post about a successful iChat Video over Dial-Up.
As I recall it was from Britain to somewhere in Ireland and the Irish end was using IDSN at the time at about 66kbps and that it was late in the day.
The Minimum spec stated is for an Internet connection of 100kbps but iChat will give you an Error message when it detects a Bandwidth or Connection speed less than 50kbps.
Realistically this (above) was a fluke and the answer is NO.

How Smooth Should Flash Video Play over a 6Mbps DSL Connection?

Hello,
I am noticing a lot of stuttering on my Flash videos viewed over the internet, Win 7 64bit and IE 8, Opera & Chrome.
Here is a link to some tests - http://watchmymvp.com/Encoding%20Test/EncodingTest.htm
Please give some feedback on your playback experience if you would!
Some background:
I am a video producer who shoots, edits, encodes and manages a few websites. I am very familiar with bitrates and encoding.
The videos I am seeing stuttering on are created from HD content and were encoded in Adobe Media Encoder at a bitrate from 775kbps down to 400kbps. When I play these through my 6meg DSL connection there is a constant random stutter like the video is stuggling with a low buffer. This happens even after the download bar shows the entire video is downloaded.
So am I expecting too much from Flash video? Will it always be an "internet" experience and not smooth?
When I double-click the .swf files in Windows Explorer they play just fine, very smooth. Maybe a SWF Publishing setting?
The Flash player is the latest which was uninstalled and re-installed
Thanks!

Hello Vicente, thanks for your reply.
So the videos did not show stuttering when you watched them? Could I ask what your computer specs are? - Mac/PC, browser etc...
I get a random stutter which shows up more when there is camera movement.
I am trying to track down why this is happening when the .swf file played locally plays perfectly.
Since I an in the video industry, I would like these files to play as if they are on a television is that is possible.
Thanks for your input.

Thank you for your reply BDAqua.
Yes I ran short and the Extended Test. All pass. One of the first things I did is Safe Boot several times I also repaired permissions. Safe boot takes no longer than before the crashes and as long as I stay in safe boot mode it won't crash. What does that mean?I also ran MacJanitor and removed the SCCUZI card Apple put in when I bought the G4 as well as an M-Audio Delta 66 card which I do not use (both) anymore. I also started up on an external firewire drive 10.4.6. It also (crashes) does the same thing.
I was hoping somebody understands the crash report I enclosed? Isn't that suppose to say what went wrong?
Thank you again for your input BDAqua

Voice/video calling over BBM is no longer available for OS 10.3.1.1565

After updating to OS 10.3.1.1565 for my BB Passport voice/video calling over BBM is no
longer available. I CANNOT MAKE VOICE OR VIDEO CALLS OVER BBM neither I CAN RECEIVE CALLS
OVER BBM. I do use voice calling over bbm on a daily basis and I feel like I am now without
my phone!
I did update ALL the application offered for the update. Right now there are NO applications
available for the update - all are up-to-date.
BB World indicates I use BBM 10.6.4.10. I did REFRESH BB World with no changes. Yet NO UPDATES
are offered.
When I select the BBM application in BB World among the list of Installed application it
says in red color "Unavailable for this device".
I see some use BBM 10.6.5.10. Are there troubles with voice/video calling over BBM for
10.6.5.10 & OS 10.3.1.1565?
Maybe the bug is with BB World that is to be updated itself? But it does not offer me to
update one.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix that?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I wish I new how to update
I have purchased yesterday BB Classic for my wife and also updated OS for it.
BBM works flawlessly with OS 10.3.1.1565 and preinstalled BBM 10.5.15.19. However its also indicates in red that the application is "Unavailable for this device".
Anyone from Blackberry, would you please suggest how to update BBM in my case?! It is that vital for me.
Thanks.

Play dvd or quicktime video spread over multiple monitors

Okay, I have a Mac Pro with a 512mb ati radeon with 2x 20" monitors hooked up to it via DVI. What I want to do is watch a DVD or quicktime video spread over both monitors. Not just full screen on one of them, but spread all the way over both so that the center of the video appears in cross of the two monitors. anyone know of anyway or software to do this?

I am not sure about software options...it might work with a hardware device like this, depending on your graphics card capability:

Now, if you strech the video across both monitors, how can you multi-task and get any work done???

I deleted over 200 self taken videos and over 500 pictures in the Moments window in my photo tab. They deleted but still show in my setting in the About window and I haven't gained any additional storage capacity. What do I do now?

I deleted over 200 self taken videos and over 500 pictures in the Moments window in my photo tab. They deleted but still show in my setting in the Setting/About window and I haven't gained any additional storage capacity. What do I do now? Please help! Thanks in advance for any assistance!!!

Check the Recently Deleted album. Deleted photos will reside there for up to 30 days. This allows all those people who accidently delete photos to recover them, something they couldn't do before. To actually free up the space you might have to delete the photos in the Recently Deleted album.

Images in video become over saturated when exported

When I export the project as an AVI the images in the video become over saturated, ie the skin tone of people becomes bright orange in some cases. Is there a setting to prevent this happening?

andrew
Grand ideas or major duds...let us try the two different tests to see if we can pin point where the issue originates and its cause....
You may want to work from a copy of the problematic project....See File Menu/Save A Copy)
Open your existing project (the one that is yielding your DV AVI 4:3 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second, and displaying with color issues).
But, do not export this project's Timeline using Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard as you have been doing, assumed
with no export settings customization under the Advanced Button of the preset.
1. Go to Expert workspace File Menu/Project Archiver and its Archive and Copy options. Project Archive the project with the Copy option. This will result in a "Copied....Folder" saved to the computer hard at the location that you designated. Open the "Copied....Folder" to see copies of the source media that went into the project. These copies will represent all the source media that went into Project Assets whether they were used on the Timeline or not. Open each to determine if there is any color issues with any.
on to second test....
2. Go to Timeline Menu and select and click on Delete Rendered Files to do just that. Next, render the Timeline content by pressing the Enter key of the computer main keyboard. All video previews generated from Timeline rendering of a SD project are DV AVI files, be the files being previewed photos or videos.
Next, go to the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder (by default in Windows' Document/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0) and open that folder. Play back the preview files there to determine if they have color flaws.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

Anyone used VisionNet system "designed to provide real-time streaming video feeds over the Internet"?

I'm a Mac user and we only have Macs at home. My son just started preschool, which offers a VisionNet system--"a state-of-the-art system of cameras, servers, and software designed to provide real-time streaming video feeds over the Internet." However, on the VisionNet FAQ page, it specifies the following:
"You need a web browser that is Java-enabled, perferably Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you're running Microsoft Internet Explorer, it needs to be version 6.x or higher. We recommend Internet Explorer 6.x as this is the latest and most up-to-date product release. Some Windows XP and Windows XP Professional users will have do download a Java runtime environment in order to use the VisionNet system if they have not done so already."
We don't have any PCs at home, so I tried to log in using my MacPro desktop, my old MacBook Pro and my new MBP. Basically, for the last 3 weeks I've managed to access the site only ONCE from my desktop and after the time-out session, I wasn't able to log on ever again (I just cannot enter any keys on the Username and Password fields at login). If I hit the Logon button from the FAQ page, I get an "Unauthorized Access" pop-up message: "This site may only be entered from an authorized web site! Please enter this site from your childcare provider's web site." When I enter "OK" I immediately get a pop-up menu "Confirm Dialog Preference. Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" but I still can't enter any keys at login. It does nothing!
The "support guy" has NO knowledge of Macs, so I don't know where else to go. The fact that I had successfully logged on once makes me believe it's something I have to update/delete/add in my Preferences in Firefox (I've used Safari and Chrome with no success). I've also considered purchasing an inexpensive PC just for this lousy VisionNet system but I want to see if anyone has any ideas or advice.
Can anyone please help me? Thank you in advance!

Here is a link to the finished PSA at Vimeo. It is not an outstanding production or anything too special, but it is worth noting that while some of the stills were doctored in Photoshop, the entirety of the editing and motion graphics were done in Premiere CS6.02; and the timeline playback was RealTime thanks to the MPE Hardware Acceleration and a GTX 560 2GB.

Video calling over 3rd party apps

As an avid apple believer I want to do everything with my apple products, including make video calls to my parents overseas. Now while I understand that apple is bringing facetime to 3g in the furture for now no such luck. Normally there is "an app for that" but there isn't any third party video calling app for Iphone 4. What are my options.

Accessible through either iTunes App Store or from the iPhone App Store:
Tango: Supports both iPhone 4 and Android phones. Video calling over 3G and WIFI. Easy set up and access your contact list showing who you can video call. No desktop version at this time.
Skype: Supports iPhone 4 and soon to support Android phones. Video calling over 3G and WIFI. Requires registration with Skype. Offers desktop version. Provides options for discounted international voice calls to landlines and cellphones.
As for FaceTime Apple should seriously reconsider updating the iOS to support video calling over 3G instead of just WIFI which is not readily available. Most international carriers already support HSPA+ which provides sufficient bandwidth and speed to allow video calling over 3G as already proven by Tango and Skype.

Will ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G?

Will there be improved video quality on youtube and other video streaming on 4G compared to existing 3G connctions? The ipad appears to dumb down video streaming in 3G compared to streaming the same thing on wifi. It is often highly pixelated and blocky, Will the new ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G, i.e. the same quality as wi-fi?

The YouTube app is made by Google. Any suggestions you have about that app should be directed to them.

Is video possible over 802.11?
