Lossless video encoder

Hello,
is there a lossless video encoder available in Media Foundation? The H.264 supposedly supports lossless features but the documentation isn't really helpful in this way, other than it states only Baseline, Main and High profiles are supported, which would
suggest otherwise... any clarifications?
Thanks,
Jan

the one with the highest mgabyte rate or the one lower down but i think itunes already sells all songs at the highest rate

How can I play ABSOLUTELY LOSSLESS video on the iPad2?

Hi everyone!
I'm creating some test videos for a project I'm working on. I have a sequence of png test images that are 1024x768. I would like to have these images play back on the iPad2 as a video. The catch is that there needs to be absolutely zero mathematical loss in the final video - each frame should be an exact representation of the associated png image. This is not an aesthetic requirement, it's a scientific requirement. I'm doing a study on pixels. Any suggestions?
I've been using the free version of FileApp to load videos onto the iPad and play them through that app. I've been encoding my lossless video into Quicktime in AfterEffects using a variety of codecs, including Animation and PNG, both of which playback on my PC perfectly lossless-ey, but when I try to play them back on the iPad2 they don't play back at all. Some other codecs like the H264 or Jpeg get very close, but there are losses in the final version.
I'm not concerned with file size... I have the 64Gb version and I'm willing to use all of that for this project.
Any suggestions for video playback apps? Preferably free so I can test this lossless requirement without wasting some money first.
Any suggestions for encoders and codec settings?

Well, if you are not concerned about file size, then you can just encode the videos as APNG and then play the videos with https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apng/id447928057. All you need to do is put the xyz.apng file on a webserver somewhere and then copy and paste the URL into the bar at the top of the APNG app. The file will then be downloaded and played. Just be aware that a full screen iPad size video is massive and it will tax the IO subsystem to the limit, so the max framerate you will be able to get on an iPad2 will be about 20FPS. In case this was not clear, APNG is basically the same as a series of PNG images, it is completely lossless.

How big a drive for 3 hours of video encoded with animation codec?

Sorry if this seems a strange question - but I've run out of fingers and toes to count on.
I'm planning a video project that will have approx three hours of selected video to work with. Will be cut down to approx 90 minutes.
The video will be include a lot of chroma keying and also be graphic heavy. Many alpha channels.
I have determined the best work method is to upload the video using the Apple Animation codec. I am reliably informed that said Animation codec is a hungry bugger and eats up drive space.
Can anyone with more toes and fingers than me give me a ballpark for how big an external drive I should budget for this?
So to recap that's a a minimum of three hours of video encoded using the Apple Animation codec plus all the graphics, audio and rendering.
Many thanks.
A.S

The Animation codec isn't an editing codec. You'll have a DICKENS of a time trying to work with that. Besides needing VERY fast drives...I'm talking a 4-5 drive RAID with 300+MB/s throughput (Firewire won't cut it...eSATA would be pushing it..thunderbolt? Pushing it)...it'd still stutter on playback. No one edits with that codec. I mean no one. It's a good way to transport media LOSSLESSLY, but when editing...best to use an Editing Codec. As Michael said, ProRes 4444 would be good...even ProRes HQ is good enough quality. I deliver shows to air in that codec.

Flash Video Encoder Quit Unexpectedly

I have an Intel iMac and when I first loaded my Adobe Suite
everything worked fine, but then the Flash Video Encoder stopped
working with "Flash Video Encoder Stopped Unexpectedly" and I
cannot get it to work again. I deleted the files and reloaded the
program from the original DVD and that did not work.
When I was setting up a new user on my iMac, I tried running
the Flash Video Encoder in the other user and it ran fine, but when
I returned to the main user, it would not start and gave the same
error. I'm relatively new to Macs - a bit more than a year - so I
suspect it is some setting or preference or something that I have
wrong.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
-Brian-

I am getting the exact same error on my windows vista x64.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling quite a number of
times with no luck. I don't believe it is anything done wrong but
has to be some kind of bug in the installation somewhere.
Also any help would be appreciated.
Mike

Live Video encoder for Mac. Does it exist?

Looking to d a live video stream. Would like to use Vp6 I do not think Adobe had a Flash video encoder for the mac.
As always, thanks for your time and help.
Mike

There is no Airscan :-)
but you can scan wirelessly on any your OS compatible network scanner of MFP printer with a scanner.
This has to be connected to your network either via WiFi or Eth cable.

Firefox will not play WebM video encoded by Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8

A short video encoded to WebM using Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8.0.48. Chrome and Opera play the HTML5 webm video with a problem. Firefox 10.0.1 and 11 just display a dimmed window with and "X" in the middle and will not load or play anything. Sorenson is a commercially proven product as confirmed by Chrome and Opera, so what gives with Firefox?

We have just completed our webm testing with Telestream's Episode Pro 6.2.1.1 and not surprisingly, the same results as Sorenson Squeeze Pro 8.
Chrome, Opera and Safari browsers play HTML5 webm video as expected.
Firefox rigidly enforces the server .htaccess configuration to specifically state Mime Types, then it will/does work.

Accessing Flash Video Encoder Programmatically

At the moment I am working on a batch program that will take
video files, and /encode them into FLVs. I would like to do this in
a programmatic (command line way), so that I can can embed this
into a nightly batch process.
Can the Flash Video Encoder support this need?

As far as I know about FFMPEG, it does not encode using on2
vp6, which is the superior codec for flv. I too am looking for a
programmatic way of transcoding to flash using the on2 vp6 codec.
on2 has the Flix Engine SDK, which is quite expensive, but it
allows you to programmatically transcode using vp6.
If there is another product out there that can do this (at a
non-expensive cost) I would love to hear about it.

Flash Video Encoder

Hi,
i hope someone can help me.
When i make flv file in Video Encoder (3 min) i see the
process i the window.
But when i open Flash and Browse the flv file it stop after 1
min.
I have make this before but now it´s problems.
Whats wrong?
Bets Regards
L G Blom

If you want to batch encode FLV files on a server (not
necessarily via a web UI), I'd recommend Sorenson Squeeze. You can
create batch jobs with watch folders. It works nicely. I believe
you can do the same thing with On2 Flix Pro too. You'll get better
quality out of these products as well.

Flash Video Encoder for WMV - DW8 vs CS5

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a WMV file into Flash. I know that this can be done using DW8's Flash Video Encoder ....but it seems this function is no longer availabe in CS5.
I would be grateful if someone confirm that this understanding is true.
Many thanks
KT

I think this is true. I'm using MacVide VideoFlash converter now. It has trial

Flash Video Encoder Version Update

I have version 1.0 of the Flash Video Encoder. This came
bundled with Adobe Web Bundle (Macromedia Studio 8 - including
Flash Professional 8 and Adobe Creative Suite 2). I need version
1.2 or above in order to include metadata so my .flv files will
play in Captivate and on web pages. How can I get an upgrade of the
Encoder?

You are mistaken about that I think. There is a Flash Video
Exporter for MX 04 that can go up to version 1.2. The Flash Video
Encoder that comes with Flash Pro 8 only goes to 1.0.
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/mx2004/readme/fmxpro2004_video.html
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/productinfo/encoder/
So, does Captivate say it needs V1.2 of the Exporter or the
Encoder? I don't have Flash MX04 so I don't know the
difference.

Interesting performance anomaly during video encode

I just noticed an interesting anomaly while my iDVD6 project was encoding video. I found that if I cover up the 'Creating Your DVD' progress bar and preview window with a Finder window, that video encoding seems to move a whole lot faster. I could tell by listening to the disk activity which seemed to be occurring about twice as fast. When I moved the Finder window away and exposed progress bar/preview window, then disk activity slowed down.
I opened Activity Monitor and looked at CPU% which showed about 70-80% with progress bar/preview window exposed. After covering up, the CPU% increased from 125-150% So apparently exposing progress bar/preview window slows things down quite a bit during video encode. I tried same trick during audio encode, and it made no difference. CPU% was about 7-8% during audio encode.
I was wondering if anyone in this discussion group noticed this performance anomaly previously.
Paul

Hi Paul
Yes I noted some relatively related phenomena during the rendering process
in FinalCutExpress that just selecting Finder seemed to speed things up.
Second: Please don't rely on the Activity monitor and most so when it says
iDVD doesn't answer. It's just rubisch. iDVD keeps on working - just wait and see.

Jerkyness observed when live video encoded on FMLE

Hi All,
I am trying to encode live stream using FMLE 3.2 on mac mini.
Input is of 1.5mbps with 640x480. It is coming throgh canopus and firewire to mac mini.
I have set my bitrates to
1. 800kbps H264 main @3.1 resolution 640x480
2. 500kbps H264 main @3.1 resolution 480x360
3. 300kbps H264 main @3.1 resolution 320x240
My FMS parameters are, FMS URL:rtmp://localhost/live , streamname : livestream%i
The live video encodes fine when i have only 1 stream encoding. But jerkyness observed when i have 3 bitrates enabled on encoder. What could be the issue?
I thought i can use FMLE to adaptive streaming.
I will be using 3 different streams for pc and mobile. Please let me know if i have any issues on the encoder side
Any pointers would be useful.
Thanks.

For VP6 MBR:
640x480 size or below; 2 or 3 streams at 25 fps: Dual Core (Core 2 Duo 3GHz, 2GB RAM)
768x576 size; 3 streams at 25 fps: 8 Core (Xeon 3GHz, 3.25 GB RAM)

How video encoder continunously

Hello everyone!
I have a ADSP BF533 EZ kit lite and labview embedded for blackfin 2.5 module. I would connect Analog video input(composite video) and capture video frame then display on the my car GPS navigation with A/V input by running Videoecho example.
I was successful to build this example and i can see video displaying on the navigation. But something i would know more:
1. the video displayed is not continunously. I can see when i reduce the time delay for display it can change displaying faster. but it alway dispeared a blank frame before starting new frame.
2. I am thinking that mean when Video Encoder actived, Video decoder was not actived? Am i right?. I want to display continunously the video. how i can do?
3. Could i add any image processing algorithm in catched frame buffer then redisplay on the display?.
Here is code for pepople viewing.
Thank you so much for attention and please post your idea if it is possible!
Do Van Lam!

Hello !
It is me again!
I would like to ask anybody that can i use BF_VideoEcoder(decoder)_enable(disable) for ADSP BF537 EZ kit lite. And can i config PPI0 for decoder and PPI1 for Encoder by using AV EZ extender board? beacause ADSP BF533 has only one PPI so that is might be the reason in my above post.
I have ever test with VideoEcho example for ADSP BF537 EZ kit lite by creating new project and config hardware for BF537 EZ kit lite and copy code to new VI and modify LED on/off control VIs for BF537. but te video out but dit not apeared.
Could anybody help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!

Flash video encoder slow

I'm trying to convert a 4.5 minute *.avi to *.flv and am
having some difficulty. Flash Video Encoder says I have about 15.5
hours remaining (am 0.5 hours into the process). That seems wholly
unreasonable given the fact that it took me all of maybe 5 minutes
to save it as an XviD-encoded *.avi with VirtualDub...
Any ideas as to how I can speed this up?

I'm having a similar problem - but my issue has to do with
why the time to encode on my Mac Pro is slower than on my
associate's Power Mac G5.
I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
flv files on a group license. On my station I have the following:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version: 1.7f10
I've got 151 GB available on my system drive.
Presently, it is taking me approximately 2 hours 45 minutes
to convert a 6 minute 26 sec mov to a flv with custom settings of:
Max Date Rate: 300 kbps
Frame Rate: Same as Source
Audio Data Rate: 48 kbps (mono)
500 x 333 pixels.
HOWEVER, on an associate's computer he is able to convert
under the same specs, same files, etc. in 1 hour 40 minutes.
His computer specs are:
Power Mac G5
Processor Speed - 2.3 GHz
2-CPU's
L2 Cache - 1 mb per CPU
Memory - 16 GB
Bus Speed 1.15 GHz
My computer has much more powerful processor, so we're
confused why it's taking longer on my computer.
I also have a second internal drive but presently the
programs and source file are on my system HD. Someone suggested
that I should try to make sure that the Video Encoder has max RAM
allocated to it as well as having the scratch disk and cache set to
the second internal drive. I don't know how to do this or even if
it's possible but looking for advice and suggestions on how to
better optimize the Video Encoder and would appreciate any help
with this ASAP.
Thanks!
