JMF Video Player Frame Rate comes down to zero

Hi
I am working on video Player using jmf. I am playing .mov file in the Applet. The appled have been signed and this part is working fine.
I am able to get the video from server to the client using signed applet. But the problem now i am facing is that after few seconds of video download the frame rate and bit rate both comes down to Zero and the movie stops playing. I am using .mov extension with approximately 2-8 MB size of video.
As i feels problem is coming with the http protocol. Because while playing the local video file with the same code it is performing well.

This blog is written by one of the principle guys who writes the Flash plug-in.

  • JMF Dimension and frame rate

    Why I'm not getting success when I try to determinate the Dimension and frame rate of the VideoFormat passing the parameters to the constructor ?
    processor.setContentDescriptor(new FileTypeDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.MSVIDEO));

    tracks[0].setEnabled(false);
    processor.realize();
    ...getTamanho() return an Dimension that indicates de width and height.
    jcbQuadrosSegundo is an JComboBox.

    Skype is generally on autopilot.  I believe 1920x1080 (1080p) would be the max resolution as far as I can recall.  If the Internet connection isn't good enough at both ends, it will drop down to the resolution the call can handle.  The max resolution of the mobile device would be dependent on the hardware and the Skype client.  The webcam resolution compatibility is sometimes dependent on the version Skype.  Some people achieve better compatibility with the desktop version 6.1 vs the current 6.3.  If you want to monitor the resolution you can view the call technical info.  It will display the current resolution of both feeds and other call stats.
    This external site has some good info on it, though a bit dated, it should provide some insight.  I'm not sure if any of the mobile resolutions have been updated greater than 320x240.

  • Is the video record frame rate adjustable?

    I would like to set up an iPod - don't own one yet - or video camera to see what the dog is doing when I'm not around. I think 3 fps should be sufficient. Can the iPod touch do this? Does it require a separate app? Can anyone suggest a dedicated camcorder that does this and tell me why that might be better than an iPod? I would also like to make other videos at normal frame rates.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    You are welcome.
    You may want to consider it's replacement model, the 6220 classic. It does 30fps and 640x480.

  • JMF video player

    Has somebody an example of an xlet that can play a video (mpeg-2) with jmf player?
    Thanks.

    Hi guys,
    I'm not exactly a MHP-guru :-) but I can point out something you can use as an example of a JMF player:
    you can download the JavaTV Reference Implementation from:
    http://wwws.sun.com/software/communitysource/javatv/download.html
    (follow the instruction for installation)
    there you can find also a few sample xlets.
    This jTV-RI is actually missing the MPEG2 videos (and hence it won't present anything), but they are referenced by the code, so I tried to build a directory-tree corresponding to those ref's. Then I made up this archive with a bunch of padding videos, just to make it show something; you can find the videos (together with a BAT script) at
    http://gfcyb.org/videos_for_JavaTV-RI.zip
    after download, put all (=3) the files in the JavaTV-RI subdirectory:
    samples/tv/
    and run the batch script: if anything is well-done, you can select any channel and view a mpeg2 clip.
    NOTE: this video archive will be available till August 2003 (afterward it could be removed).
    bye

  • Mixed frame rates: settings to convert 29.97 to 23.98?

    I'm editing a family documentary and unfortunately have interviews filmed from two angles on XDCAM at 23.98P and on AVCHD at 29.97P. Other than the second angle, most of the footage is from the XDCAM, so I'd like to harmonize the footage at 23.98.
    It sounds like my best bet is to use Compressor to retime the AVCHD footage. A few questions:
    1) Is using Compressor the right solution to retiming?
    2) Can someone lay out specific Compressor settings for a good conversion?
    Format: ProRes 422, presumably(?)
    Encoder/Video/Settings frame rate: 24, right?
    Frame Controls: on?
    Frame Controls/Output Fields: Same as source or Progressive (or does it matter)?
    Frame Controls/Deinterlace: this doesn't seem relevant? what is the right setting?
    Frame Controls/Adaptive Details: checked?
    Frame Controls/Rate Conversion: Best? (is this optical rate conversion?)
    Frame Controls/Set Duration? 24 @ 23.98?
    3) Finally, this seems to output 24P, not 23.98P? (There is no 23.98 option in the video/settings/frame rate.) What should I do to get this to match the XDCAM exactly? Should I output 24P from Compressor and then conform to 23.98 in Cinema Tools? Does that just change the video files rate metadata without actually doing anything to the frames?
    4) Did I miss anything important here?
    I know this conversion will be time consuming and I don't want to do it twice. Any help you can provide is much appreciated—especially details!
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Although converting 23.976 to 29.97 happens every day with excellent results, I can't imagine successfully converting 29.97 to 23.976. If as you say these are interviews with VERY little movement you may not notice the video jumping forward every time a frame is deleted.
    I would add 3:2 pull-down to the 23.976 to make it 29.97 interlaced (very smooth) and edit those along with the 29.97p into a 29.97 interlaced sequence.

  • Why is my frame-rate lagging?

    I'm using Flash MX 2004 at the moment, and I've made an
    animation that is synced to music, but when I 'test movie' or
    'publish', the frame-rate slows down and the music becomes
    un-synced. How do I fix this?

    I wish I knew the answer, but I do know a way to solve it
    (sort of). In your publish settings, under the HTML tab, change the
    Window Mode to Opaque Windowless or Transparent Windowless. You can
    choose either one. Then re-publish/test.
    I don't know why this fixes it, but it does. The only
    downside to this, is that you can kiss your mac users goodbye. This
    causes your swf to lag even worse on a mac.
    Hopefully this help, but hopefully someone can provide a
    better answer.

  • Coverting frame rates

    I have a piece of animation in my live-action short which was created at a frame rate of 15 fps (I also have an alternative version at 10 fps). Every time I drop it in the 29.97 timeline as is, it drops frames. Do I need to convert it to 30 fps before dropping it in the timeline and how do I do that? Thanks.

    Have you tried looking in the manuals? I simply opened the online help in fcp, typed in frame rates in the search box and up popped:
    Volume 4 - Media Management and output... Also contains detailed explanations of settings and preferences and information on video formats, frame rate and timecode.
    Might be the place to start.

  • How to export a flash project with a changing frame rate to a video

    I have a Flash project that is a series of roughly 1000 images.  The result of the images is a simple animation, and there is music imported on a separate layer.
    There are moments in the music that I wanted to line up with certain frame changes, and there are sections of the music that I wanted to match up with a faster (double-time) frame rate.
    I used this code in several places in the a code layer:
    stage.frameRate = x;
    The result is exactly what I want in SWF -- the animation speeds up and slows down at the exact right moments to match up with the music track, but it seems like it's just not possible to export this variable frame rate project to a video file?
    According to the accepted answer on this post: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4019538, it seems that:
    The export function in Flash Pro doesn't transcribe *frames*, rather it plays the Flash animation and records it like a camcorder
    If that's true, then I would think there is a way to record a variable frame rate project into a video -- does anybody know if this is possible?

    That or Premiere would both get the job done. After Effects might be more desirable as it has a feature called Time Remapping (right-click on the video layer, Time->Enable Time Remapping). You can add keyframes to any point in a video and then drag them around to speed up or slow down the video. That'll allow for very precise tweaks.
    Finally all I'd suggest is when you jump into your next project, make a quick dummy test project to see if the software you're using is easily capable of producing what you want. It'll solve the headache of completing the project only to land where you are now. Now you know Flash won't play nicely with scripts and Export Movie. If your desired end result was always a video I'd probably use video editing software to make the video. There's some free stuff out there if you really look, but no, it won't be as nice as After Effects or Premiere by any stretch. Although when you see how amazing After Effects is, you'll probably want to buy it .

  • Video problems in DVD SP burned DVDs - FCP frame rate issue?

    Please help! We have a 99 minute feature project that we shot in 24p (NOT 24pa) on a DVX100, imported the footage into FCP in 29.97fps, and edited in a 24fps sequence timeline. When we exported the sequence through compressor (DVD High Quality 120min 4:3 option) to create the 23.98fps mpeg-2 and burned it to a DVD using DVD Studio Pro (with aiff audio because DVD SP had a problem importing the Dolby file for some reason), the movie image had blurring or ghosting when played on a dvd player and looked very "digital" (not like 24p).
    After reading several postings on here, we thought the problem may have been because we were coming from a 24p timeline. Following a suggestion made to another post, we exported the 24fps sequence into a Quicktime movie and then imported that back into FCP and put it in a 29.97fps timeline. It needed rendering and we did that. Then we exported the new 29.97 sequence through Compressor into a 29.97 mpeg-2 and burned with DVD SP. When played on a DVD player, the video looked better this time, but appears to be moving in a sort of slow motion.
    Because of the length of the project, we've been using dual layer DVDs, but the break point doesn't seem to be causing any problems. Also, we've slightly decreased the "Average Bit Rate" in Compressor from 5 to 4.5 before creating the mpeg-2, etc. files because the default description of the 120min high quality setting said "90 minutes of video with AIFF on DVD-5" and our movie is 99min. Taking it down to 4.5 changed the default description to "102 or 103 minutes".
    Each time we burn, the video and audio seem to be completely in sync... it looks as though the problem is with the speed and I don't know at this point if this is frame rate, bit rate, pulldown, method of burning (i.e. DVD SP rather than something like Toast).
    Sorry for the long post but I wanted to try and include all the info I could. If anything is unclear or I left anything out, please ask. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!
    MacPro   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Thank you, thank you, thank you thrillcat and Silal! Getting rid of the render files and then copying the 24 sequence into the new 29.97 sequence worked like a charm. There were some minor things to fix (small gaps between certain cuts, audio and video clips that needed to be lengthened or cut by a couple of frames) but overall very painless... especially when compaired with the prospect of having to re-edit or re-import all our footage (as the guy from Apple tech support suggested).
    On the advice of our sound editor, we exported the 29.97 sequence using Quicktime Conversion into a DV Stream choosing DVC Pro in the Options field. We then burned the resulting file onto a regular 4.7GB DVD using DVD Studio Pro. And PRESTO, our movie was back in its wonderful 24p state!
    I greatly appreciate everyone's help. Thanks again!

  • Video Frame rate problem.

    Hi experts,
    I am working with JMF to capture a video source and display it in a JInternalFrame.
    I set the frame rate to 30fps, but when running the program I only have 1fps. If I set the LightWeightRenderer of the Manager to false, then I have 16fps (not the 30fps requested).
    If I use JMStudio I get the 30fps.
    Do you have any idea of what's going wrong ??
    Your ideas are welcome.
    Matthieu

    Thanks for your answers.
    In fact, I am capturing a video source coming from an echograph with a Miro PCTV video card (bt848).
    My computer runs with WinXP on a PentiumIII 450Mhz, 256Mo of RAM, and a NVidia GeForce 2 GTS with 32Mo of RAM.
    I obtained the following results:
         -> Using RGB, 640x480, 24bits, 30fps :the real frame rate is 3-4 fps.
         -> Using YUV, 640x480, 30fps: the frame rate reaches 15 fps.
         -> Using JMStudio I always get 30fps.
    This frame rate is given by the video player.
    I think that the problem is not linked to the hardware configuration but in the way the video is displayed in the application.
    Indeed, I don't anderstand why JMstudio is able to give 30fps and my application only a few fps.
    The main difference is that I display the video in a JInternalFrame and in a Frame. But even if I supress the Manager.LightWeightRenderer support results are a little better but I never reach the 30fps.
    To build the video renderer I have used the MDIApp.java and JMFrame.java files given by Sun.
    My question is what can do the difference? How can the Sun code be so performant ?
    If you want more details on my code, I can put some piece of code on the forum.
    Thanks to find a solution because I am going to go crazy !!!!

  • Setting jmf bit rate/ frame rate

    Hi!!
    I'm with some problems configuring my video settings.
    Where should I go to set the frame rate od my video streaming?
    I'm using H263 format, and the frame rate is variable and I want to set it for a lower value so that my video streaming can be more "fluid".
    Should I go to Control Panel of the Windows and change there at Multimedia codecs?
    Regards from Portugal

    Here You have sample how to specify frame rate (in this exampke - 10f). I use here data from video caprure and create processor with ProcessorModel. Then I send it by network (RAW_RTP - in this dimentions it id H263)
    VideoFormat vf = null;
    Dimension size = new Dimension(176, 144);
    vf = new VideoFormat("RGB", size, Format.NOT_SPECIFIED,     null, 10f);
    Format [] formats = new Format[] { vf };
    ContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW_RTP);
    ProcessorModel proc_mod = new ProcessorModel(dsCapt, formats, cd);
    dsCapt is DataSource from my capture device.

  • Belkin Pre-N F5D8230-4 v2, slow video frame rate

    After years of faithful service from my D-Link DI-713P, the wired-ethernet switch (to which my iMac was connected) stopped working. I bought a new Belkin Pre-N F5D8230-4 v2 to replace it, and both the wired and wireless connections work fine... except with iChat. I can get a connection (e.g. to appleu3test01), but the frame rate is painfully slow. Running through the router, I get <15fps, <70kbps. Connected directly to my DSL modem through PPPoE, I get 30fps, >700kpbs; same performance as with my old D-Link router before it croaked. This seems to me to be a clear indication that the problem is the router, not my iMac, the DSL modem, or the ISP (SBCGlobal.net).
    Things I have tried to solve the problem.
    1. Port mapping all the iChat TCP and UDP ports listed in numerous locations in this discussion group, Apple support, portforward.com, etc.
    2. Enabling UPNP with and without the port mapping enabled.
    3. Operating through DMZ.
    4. Unbind SIP from port 5060 (see Ralph Johns' very helpful site: http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_text). I was not able to telnet into the router (connection refused), and I couldn't find any SIP configuration on the web interface to the router, so I actually didn't get to try this. I don't have VoIP, and I'm not aware that SBC offers it, so I doubt that this is the problem.
    5. Ensured that iChat ports are allowed in OS X firewall.
    Any of these configurations enable me to make an iChat video connection, but all with slow frame rates.
    One other bit of information that might be helpful to someone who understands all this a bit better than I is the entries that are generated in the Belkin firewall security log when I run iChat:
    DoS log:
    2005-10-16 08:17:59 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) LAN to WAN 192.168.2.2:16384->17.202.39.141:16384 [Drop]
    2005-10-16 08:17:59 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) WAN to LAN 17.202.39.141:16384->71.131.221.23:32784 [Drop]
    2005-2005-10-16 08:18:00 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) LAN to WAN 192.168.2.2:16386->17.202.39.141:16386 [Drop]
    2005-10-16 08:18:00 [HOST Attack: UDP Flood] (UDP) WAN to LAN 17.202.39.141:16386->71.131.221.23:33811 [Drop]
    It would seem that the firewall considers the iChat traffic on 16384 and 16386 to be denial-of-service attacks. Shouldn't the port mapping prevent this? If this were the only problem, wouldn't operating in DMZ avoid this problem?
    I have not yet tried changing the firmware version of the router, in part because there seems to be some confusion about what the latest version is: web site lists 1.01.03 with a date of September 2005, but my installed version is 2.00.06. Apparently a version 1.01.04 was released but then retracted, and 1.01.03 is from January 2005, not September. Revision control does not seem to be Belkin's strong suit. Right now I have nothing to lose, so loading 1.01.03 may well be my next step.
    Some configuration details:
    iMac, PowerPC G4 (3.3), 1.25 GHz, 768 MB RAM, 167 MHz bus
    OS: OS X 10.3.9 with all security updates as of 2005-10-16
    connection method: SBCGlobal ADSL through Speedstream 5260 ADSL modem through Belkin FSD8230-4 router through ethernet to iMac
    connection speed: 1214 kbps down, 306kpbs up
    software: iChat 2.1 (v153)
    camera: Canon ELURA70
    Router info:
         Firmware Version 2.00.06
         Boot Version 1.00.00
         Hardware F5D8230-4 v2
    Is anyone getting good performance with iChat and this model Belkin router? Any other clever configuration ideas to try?
    - Fry -

    Hi Ralph,
    Thanks for the reply. I re-read your page on SIP and realize that it was a modem (not router) issue after I posted. Dohh! Thanks for being so polite.
    I agree that the DoS seems like the key, and hopefully the specific security log messages will facilitate useful feedback from the Belkin tech support folks to whom I sent a copy of my post.
    I tried turning on WAN Ping Blocking - no change. The System Settings tab allows me to set the password, date/time, and enable/disable of remote management, NAT, UPNP, and auto-update for the firmware. Of those I have only switched UPNP on and off. Unfortunately there is nothing on packet size settings anywhere that I could find.
    I tossed the packaging for the router, so I may not be able to return it easily. If this is the case, and Belkin (or someone in the forum) doesn't come through with a solution, I was thinking of buying an inexpensive wired router to connect between the modem and the iMac, and also run the Belkin off of the wired router for wireless access. Are there well-known problems daisy-chaining routers like this?
    The obvious alternative would be to sell the Belkin (to some non iChat user) and replace it with something known to work well with iChat. I read a recommendation for the Netgear DG834G in another posting, which could also take the place of my Speedstream modem (although there is nothing wrong with it). Any other recommendations from this wise community?
    For the time being I am switching between the router routine tasks and direct-to-modem with PPPoE for iChat. Not elegant, not easy to teach to spouse, but it works.
    Cheers,

  • Video doesn't slow when added to timeline of different frame rate

    I'm having trouble understanding what's going on here.  I have a video shot at 59.94 fps, and I add it to a sequence that is set at 29.97 fps.  It plays back normally which makes sense if premiere is dropping frames by 1/2, but the drop frame indicator says that it isn't dropping frames.  The clip also runs the same length.  The interpret frame rate for the clip in the project window says 59.94 fps, so if it's added to a sequence that is set at 29.97 fps and it's NOT dropping frames, shouldn't it be slowed down?

    OK cool thank you very much.  So I've been doing some research to figure out the best way to edit this project.  The problem is that I have some GoPro videos shot at 1080X1920 and 59.94 fps and some at 480X840 and 240 fps.  But the catch is I want to make the final product work well for Youtube.  This is how I feel I should go about getting the best quality for my final video.
    1.  Set the sequence settings to 720X1280 (which is what I will export as so that the 480X840 doesn't loose as much quality compared to having to resize up to 1080X1920 to match the other clips).  I don't think there's much quality loss in down-scaling the 1080X1920 to 720X1280 (if any, or is there?), so it's kind of a happy medium for both frame sizes that I have and it's still good for Youtube.
    2.  Apparently Youtube really works well with 29.97 fps, so this is what I will set the sequence frame rate at.
           **Another side question I have is what if my sequence frame rate is set at 29.97fps and I interpret the frame rate of a 59.94fps clip as 29.97fps and add it to the sequence.  Now if I use the rate stretch tool to speed up the now slowed down clip to 200% so that it plays at normal speed.  Will Premiere remove frames to speed up the clip or does it really increase the rate of the frames so that I don't loose any frames?**  My guess is if I export at 29.97fps it will remove half of the frames.
    Is it not possible to have an exported movie clip that contains multiple frame rates?

  • How do I output the smoothest video when changing or mixing frame rates from the original footage?

    I have been experimenting with various Media Encoder settings, and wondered if there was anything else I can try to get the smoothest video output possible, especially when changing frame rate and possibly resolution.  For clarification, let me start from the beginning and explain what I'm doing and what I've tried so far.  I'll try to be as brief as possible, but if I do go into too much detail, I apologize. 
    My original footage is AVCHD 1080p - 60fps.  (my camera only does 60fps...specifically 59.94fps)  We're not talking interlaced video here, I'm staying away from that.  This is definitely full frame, progressive video at 60 frames (not fields) per second.  My output will ultimately be for the web.  I have been keeping my output codec (H.264) and bit-rate (VBR 2-pass, relatively high-bitrate) consistent, and have been trying numerous output options and even sequence settings to see what would yield the best results.  I am using Premiere Pro CS5.5 along with Media Encoder.  Here's what I've done and the results I've observed:
    1.  I created a sequence with 1080p - 59.94fps settings to match my original footage.  I then output both 1080p and 720p versions at 59.94fps, and at 29.97fps.  The 59.94fps output files looked absolutely great, as would be expected.  Extremely smooth.  The 29.97fps output files were generally smooth, but not near as smooth as the 59.94fps.  This is expected since it's half the frame rate as my original footage.  However, my question is this:  What exactly is Media Encoder doing when "down converting" from 60p to 30p?  From a technical stand point, is it dropping every other frame?  I'm just curious to understand exactly what it does.  I tried the Frame Blending option as well, and that only yielded a bit more blur to the images which wasn't desirable for any of the output files. 
    2.  Just to see what would happen, I created a sequence with 1080p - 29.97 settings.  I then output both 1080p and 720p versions at 29.97fps.  The video was much more choppy in these cases, even with Frame Blending on.  Now, I know not matching my sequence settings with my original media isn't ideal, but I again just want to understand why this yields less smooth video than the 29.97fps options above.  Why does cutting the sequence settings frame rate in half from the original, then outputting the same frame rate as the sequence yield video that is not as smooth?
    3.  Next, I wanted to try mixing frame rates to see how Premiere and Media Encoder handled the footage and output files.  Premiere handled it great, no issues there.  However, I had some interesting things happen when I output the files.  Here's what I did:  I created a sequence with 1080p - 59.94fps to match my original footage.  Then I took the same exact footage that was in my sequence, copied it in my project panel and interpreted it at both 23.976 and 29.97 fps, yielding slow motion video.  The slow motion video looked great in Premiere, so I went ahead and just added it to my sequences, along with the original 59.94 footage.  I also created separate sequences for the 29.97 and 23.976 footage respectively, each with matching sequence settings, then added a nested sequence to another original footage sequence (with 59.94fps sequence settings) to see which yielded the best results.  Basically, I'm trying to output 59.94fps that match my original footage, but also throw in some slow motion footage at different framerates.  I'll explain my results in a moment as they are a bit convoluted, however, here is my question:  When mixing frame rates and trying to output the smoothest video, am I going about this the right way?  I would assume you would use your sequence settings that match the original footage (which is what the majority of the footage will be), then bring in a nested sequence for the slow motion (as oppose to just dropping the slow motion video directly into my main sequence), and then output to the same frame rate of the majority of the footage, in this case 59.94fps. Is there a better workflow for this?
    The results to #3 above were as follows.  Initially, it looked like it didn't matter if I nested the slow motion sequence into my main sequence, or simply dropped the actual slow motion video into my original 59.94fps sequence.  It seemed to produce smooth results either way.  Frame Blending blurred the video a bit, but didn't seem to make much difference, and quite honestly I like the footage without Frame Blending in general.  However, when I closed down Premiere, and opened the output files later (opening in Quicktime), the footage looked choppy.  In fact, it would go from choppy to smooth and back, almost like it had an irregular cadence (don't know if I'm using "cadence" in the right context here).  I would then open up Premiere again, import the output footage into my project panel, and play the footage in Premiere, and it would play back smooth again. Is this a Quicktime issue?  I was playing 1080p 59.94fps files when this happened, so maybe it's just because it's a large file.  Doesn't seem to have issues with the 720p files I created.  But it sure threw me off with my testing because I then started second guessing the settings I was using.  My iMac is the latest 2011 model with plenty of RAM, so I wouldn't think it's the computer.  Thoughts?
    4.  Next, I noticed on ALL my output files (again, using the H.264 codec from Media Encoder) that the color of my video seemed to flatten quite a bit.  It seems that the original footage has more contrast and saturation than the output files.  I figured maybe this was just how it was, but when I re-imported the output files back into Premiere, they looked IDENTICAL to the original footage.  And in Media Encoder's Source/Output windows, I don't see any difference there either. Is Quicktime again the culprit here, doing some odd things to the color of my videos?
    5.  Regarding Frame Blending, when is the best situation to enable this option in Media Encoder?  I've read it is when mixing frame rates, but I honestly didn't see too much of a change except for a bit more blur, which I didn't care for.
    6.  Lastly, my conclusion is that 60fps yields the smoothest video, which is an obvious conclusion.  However, I know that 60fps isn't the best or easiet frame rate for web delivery.  It seems 30p is more the standard.  Are there any integrated web players that would play 60fps?  Can you get 60fps video on YouTube/Vimeo?  If yes to any of these questions, can they do 720p and 1080p at 60fps? 
    Those are all my questions.  I hope I am clear enough without being overly wordy and hopefully I didn't put too many questions into one post.  Thanks in advance for any insight, I really appreciate it.

    Did you ever figure out which output worked the best? I have the same original footage; trying to determine the best output settings to make a dvd for tv.
    thanks!
