Max Bit Rate of Audio and Video supported on iPod?

Hey
I've been having issues putting certain videos on my ipod... I've made sure the video bit rate is under the max.
However, I'm not sure... does the max bit rate of the audio played during videos have to be under 160 for the acc audio?
I have it at 192... which has worked with other videos, but not some.
If this is true, let me know. Thanks
n

Yes, but it's vague. Is it:
Mpeg4
2.5mbps Video Max
160kbps Audio Max
They're doing weird things with semi colons, I don't know which format it belongs to.

  • How to set bit rate of audio and video

    I want to set the bit rate of audio and video (48,96.128 kbps) at the time of live streaming . i m not using the flash media live encoder because i have to make it as web applicaton. can any one tell me how to set bit rate.

    When you're using Flash Player to capture and encode video, your only control is Camera.setQuality():

  • Compressor:  setting max bit rate for VBR audio

    Hi,
    I am using Compressor 3 to transcode DV to H.264.  I want to encode the audio to AAC VBR wtih a max bitrate of 256.  Under the Settings tab, under audio, for VBR there is a slider from good to best.  what does this mean in terms of max bit rates?  How can you use this slider in a meaninful way?
    There is a setting for Average Bit Rate, where you can select a value.  do we konw what the max bit rate would be?
    thanks
    dan

    Good question about the slider…and I really don't know the answer. Why don't you try a test: crank it to one extreme and then the other with a representative source file and see what impact it actually makes on the properties of the respective output files.
    Good luck.

  • Mini DisplayPort to support both audio and video coming soon?

    So I notice that Apple updated the MacBook Pro Mini DisplayPort implementation to support BOTH audio AND video.
    Think this will make it’s way to the Mac mini soon, or an update still a long way off?

    Probably in the next refresh, but the mini was refreshed twice last year, so another refresh in less than a year would probably be too much for which to hope!
    There is always this US$49 wonder;

  • How to determine the bit rate with button over video subtitles?

    I have a project where I've got several questions that come up on the screen. The DVD is subtitled in 14 languages, so depending on the language chosen, it will show the question in the proper language along with navigation buttons to go to the next question or track.
    The problem is this: I added several new questions that each have a black only video that runs about 1min with 14 subtitle tracks made from photoshop psds. When I try to build, it fails saying "bit rate too high." When I removed all but 5 of the subtitle tracks, then it would build. I came up with a workaround, but then hit the limit of 99 tracks, menus or stories on a DVD.
    I went back and tried combining all 3 questions in to one slide, but now with more information on the psd, it will only allow 3 subtitle tracks before it reaches the max bit rate.
    How does it determine the bit rate? What can I do to lower the rate? I tried compressing the video at the lowest bitrate, but it didn't' help. I tried changing the psds to much smaller jpg files, but it didn't change anything. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!
    Thanks.

    CS,
    Almost all DVD SP Tracks should first be completely constructed in a Sequence in FCP, the markers placed there, and then everything encoded into a single Mpeg 2 clip with matching length audio (even if just low bit rate AC3 silent audio, as the case may be, because all Mpeg 2 clips in the Title domain should be accompanied by an audio stream), and then imported into DVD SP.
    Lay your subtitles under that and see what happens.
    Take care,

  • Audio and video compression preferences for export to DVDSP

    Hi,
    I have a few questions here. The first is regarding the internal use of compressor by DVD Studio Pro. It is my understanding from (limited experience with) past projects that quicktime movie files are automatically compressed to an mpeg2 format when imported into DVDSP. To what extent do I have control over the level of compression, and are the default mpegs that were made optimal quality? Where can I check this?
    My second question is regarding compression of audio files. Whereas my video files were automatically compressed, I am not so sure about the audio. I was forced to compress the audio down to Dolby2 separately using the external compressor program, in order not to exceed the bitrate on my last project. Was this just a question of one or the other (video/audio) needing further compression than the default amount, or is there more to this issue?
    I live and work with video in Europe, where I have recently been told that optimal audio is mp3? 4? rather than Dolby 5.1? Is this correct, and how much more space does dolby 5.1 take than dolby2? How significant an issue is this when making dvd's for musicians?
    Lastly, can someone recommend the best quality audio-video compression solution for a dvd containing approx 40 minutes of audio and video footage for use in europe?? or explain how I might go about finding this out for myself?
    Thanks a lot, and I look forward to reading your comments.

    Settings for DVDSP's internal encoder can be adjusted in DVDSP preferences. Press Command-, - that's the Apply and the comma keys - to bring those up, then select the Encoder tab. In your case, make sure you adjust the settings for SD DVD (and not HD-DVD). You will also be able to specify whether to encode in the background (basically, as soon as you import your file) or encode on build, at the bottom of that tab.

Was this just a question of one or the other (video/audio) needing further compression than the default amount, or is there more to this issue?
    I can't confess to have read any of your previous threads, but if you exceeded bit rate, that is a common reason to need to use Dolby compression for your audio. (unless you can afford to recompress your video files)
    That is, if you video files use a high bit rate (say over 6 Mbps average), then it's usually necessity to use Dolby compression to make sure that all your footage fits on a single disc. (this is a simplification, of course, but I think you get the idea)
    Or was there more to this question that I'm missing?

    Someone was mistaken when they told you that DVDs accept - let alone are optimized for - mp3 or mp4 files. That's flat out wrong.
    As for the difference between Dolby 5.1 vs 2.0, that depends on your encoding rates. Typically, most folks encoder Dolby 2.0 at 192 kbps, with some choosing to up the bit rate to 224 kbps. Beyond 224 kbps, you're not actually improving audio quality for a 2.0 mix, you're just bloating your file size. When it comes to 5.1 audio, it's typical to encode your audio at 384 or 448 kbps.
    When it comes to compressed audio vs uncompressed audio, it does matter when you're making DVDs for musicians. But that means that you'll probably need to lower the bit rate on your video files.
    Lastly, can someone recommend the best quality audio-video compression solution for a dvd containing approx 40 minutes of audio and video footage for use in europe??
    If you want to keep you audio as AIFF files, set your encode to 2 Pass VBR Best, with an Average bit rate of 5.0 Mbps and a Max bit rate of 7.0 Mbps. If you need things to happen a bit faster, use One Pass (not One Pass VBR) and use 5.5 Mbps as your bit rate.
    If you want to have a firm grasp over how all these numbers work, there is a section at the back of DVDSP manual, that explains how to calculate bit rates (what we call bit budgeting in the business). Give that a quick once-over if you can.

  • Audio and video do not sync

    The audio and video in idvd are fine. I burned my movie to a dvd. The audio is ahead of the video in several spots. I even went back to imovie and deleted the un-synced clips. I brought them back in as new. I still have the same problem????

    Hi jopin
    Welcome to apple discussions. Are you using a tape based mini dv camcorder by any chance? If so, most often audio sync issue actually starts in your camcorder's audio settings then over to iMovie and lastly to iDvd. Make sure that the video you are using is 16bit only and not 12bit. Check your camera settings. Chances are it's currently set to 12 bit as opposed to 16 bit audio. If you recently changed out a memory battery in the camera or camcorder, you may want to note that some camcorders default right back to 12 bit and you must make the extra effort to reset to 16 bit. Hopefully setting the audio on the camera to 16-bit will prevent future problems when it comes to out of sync audio. Just as important, make sure the camera is among those supported by iMovie (see link below). Please tell us exactly what type of camera or camcorder you used and which settings. Model numbers are helpful. Might wish to verify that your camera / camcorder is on this list:

    I found the following "possible remedy" on the internet. Perhaps it will work (maybe not). You'll have to let us know.
    1. Open iMovie by clicking the program icon on the dock at the bottom of the screen.
    2. Choose "File," then "Import," then select the video file you have been attempting to burn onto a DVD. In a moment, the video file will load onto the screen.
    3. Double-click the video file, then click "Share." From the pull-down menu, click "Export Movie using QuickTime." A new export window will appear on the screen.
    4. Choose "Options" on the bottom of the screen, and a video/audio options display will appear. Click the audio options and choose the bit rate. Select "16-bit" as the bit rate and click "OK." Title the video and select a location to save the file to, then click "OK." The video file will export with the new bit rate.
    5. Open iDVD and import the video into the program as you did before. Now click "Burn," and the DVD will copy onto the DVD, this time without any sync problems.
    Hope this helps but if not just come on back. Good luck.

  • Combined Audio and Video bitrate question

    When combining audio and video, how does the bitrate of the audio affect the calculation of the total bitrate? If I set my video compression bitrate at 5.5/7.5, how should those numbers be altered if I have, say, two Dolby Digital 2.0 streams at 192kbs each and a 5.1 surround stream at 448kbs?

    From the DVD Studio Pro User Manual (p. 43):
    Beware of Setting Your Bit Rate Too High
    You will find that with some DVD projects, the content easily fits on the disc, and you may be tempted to use the highest video bit rate available. While higher bit rates produce better quality, you must take into account other factors before deciding to use the maximum allowable value.
    The maximum video bit rate allowed on SD-based DVDs is 9.8 Mbps, but rarely is that practical to use since DVD players support combined video, audio, and subtitle bit rates of up to 10.08 Mbps. For HD-based DVDs, the maximum video bit rate is 29.4 Mbps for HD assets and 15.0 Mbps for any SD assets used in an HD project, with an overall maximum bit rate of 30.24 Mbps.
    In practice, you should be conservative when determining how high of a bit rate to allow for. Trying to squeeze out the highest possible bit rate for your project can lead to player compatibility and disc space issues. A general recommendation is to not exceed 9.2 Mbps for the combined video and audio bit rates when authoring SD projects, or 29 Mbps when authoring HD projects.
    Important: If you are building your project and DVD Studio Pro detects that the bit rate of the multiplexed stream is too high, the build stops and an error message appears.
    Using PCM or AC-3 Audio
    A single PCM audio stream using typical settings (as produced with the embedded AIFF encoder) requires 1.536 Mbps, which leaves an absolute maximum bit rate for the video in an SD project of around 8.54 Mbps. If there are two PCM audio streams, 3.07 Mbps must be allowed for the audio, leaving just 7.01 Mbps for the video.
    Note: Even though you can only play one audio stream at a time, the bit rates of all audio streams must be added together when determining the overall bit rate for a track. Similarly, all subtitle streams must be added together and added to the overall bit rate.
    Using AC-3 audio in place of the PCM audio leaves far more room for the video bit rate. Stereo AC-3 audio using typical settings requires only about 224 kbps—using two stereo AC-3 streams in place of the PCM audio leaves about 9.6 Mbps for the video.
    See “Calculate the audio allowances” on page 636 for more information about allowances for other audio formats.
    Hope this helps
    Good luck!

  • Audio and Video issue with Windows 8.1 upgrade on Ideapad n585

    I upgraded my Ideapad N585 to Windows 8.1 the other day, took forever, but it made it through.  Unfortunately, I now get boot erors for the Dolby software, and the AMD Vision/Catalysyt Control Center.  Neither of these programs are able to start, from startup or even manually.  They just won't run.  Sound seems to come out fine still, but I do have video issues. 
    First off, my computer doesn't seem to recognize a HDtv as a monitor through the HDMI port.  I still get an image, but it's set to current screen resolution instead of 1080i.  I tried using the detect button to force it to look for a second monitor (my TV), but it showed nothing connected, though at the time I was using two screens.  Now my monitor's screen resolution seems to be a little higher than my TV's, but it doesn't fit the screen properly, and will sometimes put a black border around the desktop, not using the full screen.  I have also noticed, that when plugged into the tv, if a background program like a screen saver starts (and I am one of the few people who still use them, I like BOINC, sue me), it will reset the screen resolution to what it requires.  When the program exits, the screen resolution stays, and that becomes the new max screen resolution until I restart the computer.  So far, it only does this through the tv, if I run the laptop monitor alone, it doesn't happen.
    I did try updating the software with what's available through the support site, but nothing happened.  I even went as far as to use the Windows 9x~XP standbys of completely uninstalling, manually removing everything from the system registry I could find relating to these two programs, and then finally reinstalling the software.  Giving the audio and video a complete clean slate to work from, and got no positive results.  I restart the computer, Dolby and Catalyst won't boot, and blind to HDtv.  Problems as described above still apply.
    Anybody else have this issue?  Anybody got a fix?

    have you found a solution to this?
    My computer updated to 8.1 without my wanting it to, I have the same problems as you. I installed the video driver because the brightness was locked on what I had it. (the bar would move but did not change)
    I searched for brightness and n585 and I was able to find a driver, now brightness works but HDMI still does not. When I plug in the TV both screens go black with all 4 options in the "project" screen.
    *edit*
    this worked for me i stumbled across this
    I unplugged the power cable with the hdmi cable plugged in. Hit (windows key+p) scrolled to duplicate and it worked.I plugged in the power cord back in and it still worked. 

  • HT2494 what connector to buy to transfer audio and video from macbook to tv?

    You can sync photos and videos to your iPad via your computer's iTunes.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If the videos are films that you want to go into the Videos app then you first need to add them to your computer's iTunes library via File > Add To Library, and you can then use the Films/Movies tab to select and sync them
    Syncing media : iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    What format are the videos in that you want to download, and have you got an app on your iPad that supports that format ?

  • Audio and Video out of Sync in Encore 2.0

    Here's my issue:
    I opened a project in Encore 2.0 that was an Encore 1.5 project. I have one timeline with a 2 hour movie and the AC3 audio file that goes with it. Encore 1.5 played the audio and video in sync from the timeline and burned discs with the audio in sync. The video is an MPEG2 file encoded at a 3.1 constant bit rate.
    In Encore 2.0, when I play the timeline, the audio becomes progressively out of sync as it plays. Within the first few minutes it's maybe a frame or 2 off. By the end of the film it is about 18 seconds off (audio is playing ahead of the video).
    Is this a result of Encore 2.0 conforming the audio file? If so, how am I (or anyone) supposed to attain sync between video and audio in Encore 2.0?
    I have Encore 1.5 and 2.0 both installed on the same machine. As a test, I opened the project in 1.5 and played it, everything was fine. I closed Encore 1.5 and opened the project in Encore 2.0, and the audio is out of sync.
    Any comments, ideas or suggestions?
    Mike

    Joe,
    I tried creating a project with the original WAV file and it's corresponding video and found that the audio and video were still out of sync. I did a little more testing and discovered that the audio is actually being played correctly, it's the video that is not being played correctly. Here's what I did:
    I opened the WAV file version of the audio file in Premiere Pro and noted where a hammer hit in the video occurs (01;40;30;28). I then opened Encore 2.0 and imported the video and AC3 version of the WAV file, placed them in a timeline and the audio's hammer hit is right where it's supposed to be (01;40;30;28), but the video's hammer hit occurs at 01;40;43;18.
    Next I went into Encore 1.5 and brought in the AC3 audio and video files and placed them on a timeline. I went to 01;40;30;28 in the timeline and the audio and video were both at the frame they should be at that timecode.
    Seeing how the video appears to be playing incorrectly, here's some info on my video files:
    I have 4 versions of the same film in varying encode rates with the same start and end timecodes. All four files were encoded on a Sonic DVD Creator authoring station using hardware to encode. The files are encoded at the following rates: 2.9 constant bit rate, 3.1 constant bit rate, 3.4 variable bit rate and 4.0 variable bit rate. They are each NTSC with drop frame timecode. All four files play correctly in Encore 1.5 but incorrectly in Encore 2.0.
    This almost seems like a drop frame/non-drop frame issue. Do you have any ideas?
    Mike

  • Audio and Video out of Sync after Pro Res export

    I´m getting an audio/video sync issue when I´m exporting to Pro Res.
    I started off in a HDV1080i50 sequence. Audio sampling rate is 48khz. (16 bit depth)
    The sequence is less than 20 minutes long. It plays correctly on the timeline.
    When I export the sequence for DVD and view it on a set top it plays absolutely fine.
    When I export the video to ProRes (422 HQ - I used Export using Quicktime Conversion) and the audio to AIFF, they quickly go out of sync. This was brought to my attention first by the guys who were making the DigiBeta master, and when I view the exported material in a Pro Res sequence I can see it for myself.
    The audio and video clips are of the exact same duration.
    Possible issues...
    Some of the narration was recorded at 44.1 khz. I didn´t resample it (I´m still a learning novice..).. but if that is the issue should it not have affected the DVD as well? All the other audio in the project is 48khz.
    Most of the material is HDV1080i50..but one clip used was originally an NTSC clip and therefore a different frame rate. However I converted it to a 25fps clip and this is reflected in the vid rate column in the browser where it says 25fps.
    Final point, the exported AIFF files..when I import them back into the HDV1080i50 sequence and play back, it is perfectly in sync.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    First, yes resample the narration to 48k 16 bit.  You will probably be able to reconnect to the resampled files.  Usually works for me.   That's a simple fix and will probably solve the problem.  If it doesn't, you can try to change the codec (compressor) in the sequence settings to prores 422HQ, fully render and see if that solves the problem.
    Wait, just reread your original post.  Export from fcp using file:  export:  quicktime movie NOT quicktime conversion with current settings.  If that works without synch issues, use compressor to convert to prores.
