Match source - lower bitrate ??

I'm usually happy to work with the Export default "Match source - medium bitrate" but have been asked to make my Seq file (mp4) with an irregular size smaller for use in PowerPoint. A la Compressor I would love to make a copy of the preset "Match source - medium bitrate" rename it and tweak it, but how?
When I try to improvise and make a Quicktime set to codec H.264 the Codec Settings button (in the Export Settings window) seems greyed out, any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Paul
P.S. Lacking in a solution and needing to output quickly I exported a Losseless mov and did m compressing in After Effects where I could fine tune the codec setting and dial down the data rate.

In the current release of Azure Media Encoder, this is not possible. The only possible workaround is:
1. Submit a thumbnail Task
2. Examine the output asset for the metadata XML "{AssetId}_metadata.xml", parse that XML for the source resolution
3. Use the above to pick the appropriate preset to be used for the encode Task

Cloud vs. Local Files - is iTunes streaming lower-bitrate versions?

Hello,
I wanted to wipe-out my entire music library and play everything off the cloud, in order to save space. However, when I stream music, it sounds like iTunes Match is streaming a lower-bitrate version of my song. There's very little bass. If I click the little cloud icon to download the song, and then play the local version, it sounds great.
Anyone else notice this? Is there a way to work around it?

Hi,
I have been having similar problems as you. These problems began to raise its ugly head about a month or so ago.
I have found that using add to iCloud is not working. Constantly sticks at sending info and things work when I stop process then select update match. I have opted to use update option immediately after adding new tracks and seems to work most times.
However, I have been encountering problems recently when the process sticks with a few tracks still outstanding. I believe the problem occurs when the process has been interrupted and the tracks have partially been processed. To correct this problem, I have to open another library where I can see the music that's been matched or uploaded. The tracks causing the problem are greyed out. I delete those tracks and go back to my main library where the I cloud status is shown as "removed". I had previously tried to delete those tracks from my main library and readd them but this did not work because of the partially processed tracks.
I have previously been able to resolve most issues by holding shift (PC) / option key (Mac) whilst turning off match then turning back on. Unfortunately I seem to be using this option more frequently recently.

Convert to lower bitrate hangs on some songs

I recently had to restore an iPod classic. While syncing, I told it to convert all songs to lower bitrate (128 kbps). I've performed this operation before without mishap, but this time, some songs appear to take MUCH longer to convert (on the order of day for an individual song). At the moment, it has restarted a sync, and it's working on song 5 of 18000. Songs 1-4 went at a normal rate, but song 5 has been working for 2 hours, with my processor (2 core i5 w/ HT) working at 300% on the iTunes process.
If I remove the song in question (something titled "Intro"), iTunes proceeds along, and hangs on another song in a similar manner. If I uncheck the requirement to convert to lower bitrate, the sync proceeds normally and all of the songs make it onto the iPod.
Is this a problem with iTunes 11? Or should I be looking at an issue with my individual files? My library is composed of a variety of formats, from 128kbps iTMS files to ALAC CD-rips. If I can avoid it, I'd like to avoid converting the whole library down to 128 or 256kbps AAC and then dealing with duplicates. Any advice?
Thanks,
Dustin

Output Column does not have a matching source column in the schema

Hi Everyone,
Can you please help me in this. Already an ETL is loading the data from AS400 TO SQL server. I need to add a new
column. In the Source (OLEDB source) am pulling the data from AS400 using ADO.NET connection manager.
New column is added in AS400. To bring the new column from AS400, I added column name in the query in OLEDB source. Test connection is good. In the Source editor, when I click on preview it gives me the values of the new column and if I click on build
new query also it gives me values for the new column.
After mapping the columns and refreshing the data in OLEDB destination, I don't see any errors or warnings.
But when I start executing the package it throws me the below error.
Error: The output column (4659) does not have a matching source column in the schema.
[SSIS.Pipeline] Error: "component (2861)" failed validation and returned validation status "VS_NEEDSNEWMETADATA".
I need suggestion on this.
Thanks
Veeresh

Hi Veeresh,
As per my understanding, this error happens when the OLE DB Source component cannot find the corresponding source column in the database table. Possible reason is the the column name in the external database table has changed or
the column has been removed.
To verify this issue, please go to the Advanced Editor for OLE DB Source Input and Output Properties tab to see the External columns and Output columns. To fix it, please refresh the data or recreate the Source.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Converting into a lower bitrate improves video playback?

Hello, I heard if you convert videos into a lower bitrate you get more hours of video playback. If thats true, what settings should i set my videora to? Instead of the default one

Hello, I heard if you convert videos into a lower
bitrate you get more hours of video playback.
The subject of the post and content of your post are asking two different questions.
As for the subject... does lowering the bitrate improve video playback?
It depends what you mean by improve. Lowering the bitrate might make the video run faster/smoother/less choppy but it will also lower the quality of the picture.
As for the message in your post... does loweing the bitrate give you more hours of video playback?
Probably, yes. The size of the video file will be smaller, so you can fit more content on the iPod. Smaller file sizes mean less work for the iPod hard drive, wich results in better battery life.

Match source-address and url

I have an existing policy-map with vip and port 80. Now I need to do:
1. Match pool of ip address and url /abc then redirect to url /abc1
2. If url is ok but ip is out of the pool then redirect to url /abc2
It's probably possible to achieve but I have problem with mixing class maps (L4 and L7). Please advice how to do it.
Thank you.

HI Kamil,
Something like below. Please try and let me know if it helps.

Export to SD card for car stereo - use lower bitrate?

Okay, so my fancy new car stereo has an SD card slot, and the stereo reads a file structure so I can have folders for each Artist, and in that a flofer for each album, with MP3 files inside. I can see tha ther easiest way to populate an SD card is to copy the artist folders directly from the itunes music folder in Finder.
But... all my MP3s in iTunes are ripped at 192kbs, and to fit more on an SD card I'd like to use smaller versions.
Can't work out a way to do this easily. I can create lower bitrate verions using "create new version" but there are then stored in the same folders so I get two copies of each song. Can anyone sugegst a way of exporting a whole batch of songs (several thousand) to a new folder at a reduced bitrate?
Or converting a batch?
Or suggest some other idea to create a reduced bitrate SD card without having to look at each MP3 file idividually (which all the solutions I've considered so far seem to need).

Still not quite achieving what I'm aiming at. I've found scripts to batch-convert an export, but the newly created files are then just 'loose' in folders and not nested as artists and albums. I've found other scripts to export with the file strucure intact. But not both.

How do I burn MP3 files to CD at a lower bitrate?

I'm a newbie to Mac and to iTunes, so pardon me if this is a frequently asked question. As a former user of Windows Media Player, I am used to being able to burn my MP3 files to CD at a lower bitrate (128) than what the MP3 files saved on my computer are (320). In WMP you tell it what bitrate you want the files encoded at, it then re-encodes them, burns them to CD and then deletes the re-encoded files from the hard drive.
Am I missing something in iTunes or is this not possible? It looks like I might be able to do each step of these steps manually, but I'm not quite sure how to save the converted files to a different folder than the originals. If this is not possible in iTunes, can someone recommend a program that will do this. Thanks!

You can easily burn them into artist folders onto the CD (which is not what you previously asked).
Create the playlist.
Sort on Album or Artist and then burn it.
The songs will be put into Albums or Artists.

Premiere CC 2014 "Match Source" bug when exporting multiple clips

Getting a strange bug when trying to batch export.
The source clips are 4K MP4s. When exporting individually I use the Match Source button in the export dialogue and it correctly matches to the 4K frame size when sending to queue in Media Encoder.
If I select multiple clips and batch export them, selecting "Match Source" they come out as NTSC DV 29fps 720 x 480. The only way to work around this is to manually enter the frame values in Media Encoder after queuing.
Anyone come across this? Anyone at Adobe aware?

Edit in lower bitrate and export in higher bitrate

Is there a way i can edit HD movie in a lower bitrate for better workflow, and then when im finished edititing the movie, i can export the movie out in original HD bitrate.

dont know, never did it...
I did edit one thing ONLINE..then switch the files to HD....in other words, I would maybe consider having your assets dv and hd separate..
edit the dv stuff online...like thats your project ....back it up, copies, etc...do your edit...
then when done dump the dv stuff, by moving your assets from one folder to another...swith them out...and if everyhthing is named exactly the same you should be able to just reopen the project and ( magic ) now you have the HD stuff there instead of dv..if your machine can handle it.
Then just export your final product from there and pray a lot.
Its not unlike what an intermediate FCP ( prores ) file does with footage...but in this case its not mac and not prores... but back it all up etc cause who knows what will happen when you switch out the files.
as far as size for dv goes, keep your apect ratio and frame rate and so on and do custom, desktop whatever ( anamorphic ) whatever you have to do to edit the real "final" product with the hd footage....you know?...do a small test first and see if it works OK, through the whole thing...including burning blue ray or deliver to whatever you need for final product... little test and see if it works...then go for it ( remember your machine capablilities ...or you'll have to transfer everything to external drives and bring to post house instead )

Playback of low bitrate flv or f4v from live stream in FMS causes player buffer to empty

We are experiencing a consistent issue when playing a low bitrate (300kbps or less) flv in a live stream from FMS. Basically, the player will will start off with the appropriate buffer, say 5 seconds, then begin dropping until it empties out, and will have to rebuffer. We've tried with a variety of flv and f4v files, all that are 300kbps or less, and we consistently get the issue. Is this something Adobe can investigate in FMS? Or are there any suggestions on how we can get around the issue?

Flash player not playing not playing properly low bitrate sound

Hi,
I have created a flash audio player which can play streaming
audio (mp3) files and it takes data from external xml file.
Everthing is working fine. But when i used a low bitrate mp3 file
(size 600 kb, time 3min approx) , it plays the audio with max speed
and get ended in 30 seconds. The same audio file is playing
normally in windows media player, or winamp,etc.
Plese give me some idea what is happening ........
Thanks,
Gunjan

Flash can use either 8- or 16-bit sounds at sample rates of
11, 22, or 44 kHz (check this), or it may be that the mp3 is
encoded at one of the 'inbetween' bitrates.

Mxf op1a match source Media Encoder

I'm trying to use the mxf op1a match source (rewrap) preset in Media Encoder. I've got a variety of source material from Gopros, XF305s and a couple of others. The preset fails consistently with Gorpro footage, and I've had problems with some other sources too. I keep getting the "The source file's video stream is not compatible with this preset. Please choose a different preset." error.
My question is: given that I'm only trying to use the mxf preset as a container, keeping the source material as it is - why am I getting compatibility errors? As I understand it, mxf can be used as a container for a variety of video types, I've not come across anything that states it doesn't work for Gopro files or any others, so what's the problem?
Thanks
Bransby

This won't work for GoPro footage because our MXF exporter doesn't support GoPro CineForm. Unfortunately the preset has to do a little more than just copying the streams to a new wrapper. We have to have an ability to write that stream natively to MXF and currently we can't do that. If you wanted to make a feature request, you should request that we support GoPro CineForm in an MXF wrapper. Once that exists your workflow will work. Feature requests can be made here:https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Help - iTunes Converting mp3s automatically into VBR - Low Bitrate?

Hi Forum Members: New kid on the block. I've been very lucky not to have too many problems with iTunes.
I just placed several mp3s into iTunes via the folders/file selection. For some unknown reason it converted all those mp3s into VBR mp3s with a lower bitrate.
There is nothing unusual about these mp3s. Their bitrate is mixed at around 196 kbps to 256 kpbs.
I didn't use Import or ask iTunes to convert?
Any clues as to what is going on? Or how to fix the problem.
Thanks, katydidit

Hello CasperGemini:
In answer to your first question, no it didn't ask me?
My Preferences > Advanced Tab > mp3 encoder, good quality, 128 kbps
With iTunes changing the format to 114 kbps(VBR) at 44.100 KHz is quite close to the 128 kbps, however, it's rather odd that it would do it without asking (as you mentioned).
My idea was to keep the files at their existing kbps per second and then convert within iTunes using the "right-click" option.
I've also had problems with iTunes converting on import. If I take files/folder from my computer (not CD - already on system) and bring them into iTunes via the Import method (I've specified the importing size, etc.) it doesn't convert them to the specified encoding, e.g. m4a to mp3?? I end having to convert within iTunes (right-click).
