Mp4v-format compared to mp4, what's the difference?

Both mp4 and mp4v plays fine in QT but only the latter plays on ATV.
What's the difference? Do I loose any quality when converting from mp4 to mp4v using QT. Does anyone know?

m4v is a raw mpeg4/10 format (otherwise known as AVC or h264) and provided the file specifications such as bitrate, resolution, profile etc, fit those required by the tv they will play without a problem.
mp4 is an mpeg container that contains either mpeg4/10 or mpeg4/2 (generally just refered to as mpeg4), again provided the file specifications such as bitrate, resolution, profile etc, fit those required by the tv they will play without a problem.
The difference between mpeg4/10 and mpeg4/2 is mainly to do with compression, essentially mpeg4/10 files are more efficiently compressed resulting in smaller files of equal quality, or indeed similar size files with higher quality.
In terms of the tv the main difference to remember is that mpeg4/2 files should have a datarate of 3 Mbps or less wheras meg4/10 files should be 5 Mbps or less.
What you really need to know is why those files that wont play, wont play. You may find that simply selecting the file in itunes and choosing advanced/create Apple tv version from the itunes menu will do the trick without you having to understand why at all. If this doesn't work take a look at the specifications for the file and post them back here where we can give further advice.

    We're kinda confuse in what is the difference of different 720p format like android tablet, mac tv, iphone 4 and so on.

    Running the script by python2 solves it for me:

  • What is the difference between mp4 for iphone and mp4 for ipod ?

    I have converted some videos to mp4 and there is a choice to convert to iphone or ipod.
    But what is the difference between them ?
    It cant just be something simple like screen size / resolution.
    Because I have some mp4 videos that will sync with itunes onto my iphone, but not onto my ipod 5th gen.
    Do you have to have both types of mp4 videos, one for the iphone and one for the ipod ?
    If so then thats a right pain the in arse.
    I would have thought mp4 is mp4 and would work on both the iphone and the ipod ?

    There is no difference because as you said Java is platform independenec. However, the installer is platform-dependent so we needed to package the Beans differently.
    All the java classes and libraries are identical

  • What are the differences in format options available for partition?

    what is the differences in format options available for partition?

    Select the drive in Disk Utility, click on the Erase or Partition tab, select the Format type: dropdown menu that will list your format options. For OS X the only option you should use is Mac OS Extended, Journaled. This is the standard format for OS X drives.
    Then there are options for Windows - MSDOS (standard FAT format) or ExFAT (an advanced FAT system with most of the characteristics of NTFS.) OS X can read and write with either filesystem. NTFS is only readable, not writeable, by OS X.

  • What is the difference between updating a table specifying a specific partition compare to not specifying

    Hello,
    What is the difference when updating a table specifying a specific partition compare to not specifying a specific partition?
    Does specifing a specific partition while doing an update only update values within that specific partition?
    For example:
    update tab_abc partition (nov_2013)
    set col_abc = 'ABC';
    vs.
    update tab_abc
    set col_abc='ABC';
    Thank you.

    Yes, but better to do this:
    update tab_abc
    set    col_abc = 'ABC'
    where  date_key >= to_date('01-NOV-2013','DD-MON-YYYY')
    and    date_key <  to_date('01-DEC-2013','DD-MON-YYYY')
    (where date_key is the column your table is partitioned on)
    Now your code is totally unaware that the table is partitioned but it can still use partition pruning.
    And your code won't break if the partitioning strategy changes (which it certainly can).

  • What's the difference between these two AVI formats?

    What's the difference between:
    YCbCr 10-Bit
    and
    RGB 10-Bit

    In analog terms, to explain YCbCr use the example of the COMPONENT output from your DVD player. It use 3 separate cables (Y = Luminance = Green Cable), (Y-B = Blue Color Diff = BLUE Cable) and (Y-R = Red Color Diff = RED Cable). In the analog world, RGB is actually RGBHV (5-wire) and is adaptable to 15-pin VGA with a simple passive adapter. Many people will mistakenly refer to Analog Component video as RGB, since the cables are Red, Green and Blue.
    So, since all that mumbo jumbo means essentially the same, this appears to be the digital "equivalent" of what is known as Component Video in the Analog world... What I said about RGBHV does not apply to the 10-bit color, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

  • What's the difference between RSS and Atom feeds?

    I just figured out the RSS thing, which is great. However, when I go to sign up for a RSS feed, I am often given a choice between RSS, Atom, sometimes different versions of RSS. What's the difference between all these? (I tried searching, but was unsuccessful.) How do I make a choice?
    Another question, can someone see that I have signed up for RSS feed from their site?

    Hi again,
    but how do people decide which one to use for subscribing?
    People can choose whichever one they want - Safari supports both RSS and Atom, other applications on OS X (and Microsoft Windows, Linux, etc) may only work with RSS or Atom so by publishing in multiple formats they can be fairly sure that everyone can read the content.
    And how can you see who has subscribed to an RSS feed from your site?
    They will be able to see the IP address of the requester in just the same way as they can when you load a webpage - there's no difference in how the RSS/Atom data is requested sent over the internet compared to HTML webpages.

  • What is the difference of using JavaBean and regular classes?

    Experts,
    I am new to JavaBean(not EJB), and wondering what is the difference of using JavaBean for JSP page compared with using regular Java class?
    I know there are Bean tags which save some lines, what else?
    What does "serialization" mean compared with "not serializable"?
    thanks very much.

    No.
    A JavaBean is a regular JavaClass that:
    1) implements java.io.Serializable
    2) Its data members are private, and its data is accessed via getters and setters. You must define the getters and setters. Getters retrive the property, and must be in the format:
    public PropertyType getPropertyName()
    for most cases. The exception is when the PropertyType is a boolean, in which case you use:
    public boolean isPropertyName()
    Setters assign values to the property, and are in the form:
    public void setPropertyName(PropertyType propValue)
    3) There is also a PropertyChangeEvent model that needs to be followed.
    A marker interface has no methods you need to implement. It just marks the class as supporting certain operations. In the case of Serializable, it means the class can be written to be an ObjectOutputStream for persistant storage.
    As far as an example of JavaBean persistance, take a search on the java.sun.com site for Serializeable
    Also, take a look at this: http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Beans/beans02/
    It concentrates mainly on gui component beans, but not all beans need to be gui parts... There are other pages to look at, but I can't find them at the moment, and I have to run...

  • What is the difference between jsp :include and server side include

    what is the difference between jsp :include and server side include(request dispatcher include method)????
    i understand that both request dispatcher include method and jsp:include take dynamic data,so when would one use request dispatcher include and when jsp:include.
    Is the usage interchangeable?i believe jsp include is used only for jsp/html but include directive can be used to include servlets ,jsp and html....correct me if i m wrong and
    do suggest if u hav ny other diff in this context...

    The difference really is: in what format do you want your inclusions? If your environment has many Java developers and only a few designers that focus mainly on, say, Flash, that might push you more towards the server-side include() directive. Or, if you have a large set of pages that receive dynamic content that is displayed in a consistent fashion (such as a workflow header area on a page).
    If, on the other hand, you have more web designers, there may be a greater desire to deal in markup rather than Java code. Java developers themselves might prefer to view markup (JSP) that more resembles the eventual output than something occuring in Java code.
    Finally, there are considerations of tiering. While it is totally possible to (and I have previously) implement 'view classes' that render markup or generate layout templates, JSP's offer, IMO, a subtle, psychological advantage. By forcing a developer to work in a different format, markup versus Java source, the separation on view from controller and model becomes a bit easier. It is still possible to make mistakes, but if a developer at some point notices, "Wait, I'm in a JSP, should I be importing a java.sql class?", then the choice to use JSP includes has paid off in spades.

  • What is the difference between component(Y, Pb, Pr) and component(R,G,B)?

    [I previously posted this question in another thread as hadn't realised how to post new question]
    Q. What is the difference between component (Y, Pb, Pr) and component (R,G,B) ?
    I’d previously thought I was reasonably savvy on all things HD, but when I turned my thoughts to looking into getting a mac mini to run part of my home cinema I realise I have some confusions around the above.
    Here’s what I think I know:-
    The mac mini has a DVI output of the type which can output both digital and analogue, and so via physical adapters it could be used to connect to displays that take HDMI or VGA style RGB leads.
    I know on the market I can get a DVI to Component cable lead which would therefore lead me to assume it could drive my HD plasma with component input (Y,Pb,Pr), as I currently drive the HD TV via component cable with a SKY HD box (720p and 1080i), an xbox 360 (720p) and a progressive scan DVD player (480p), all through a Denon AV-amp.
    The problem is, I’ve heard somewhere that the DVI to component is R,G,B only and that it is not Y, Pb, Pr which is making me wonder it a) this will work and b) if I really understand component video afterall.
    I notice the Apple TV outputs Y,Pb,Pr but colours them red, green and blue, so am even more confused….
    Hopefully someone can help educate me on this !

    Thanks for this.
    My Plasma is a Panasonic 42" Viera March 2005 model. No HDMI, No VGA.
    It can process signals up to 720p and 1080i via the component (an interestingly it makes a huge difference over SD even though the native panel is 480..!?!)
    Am I right in thinking that the iPod component cable will also be R,G,B and therefor might be a suitable trial? Ie. if the TV accepts the input from the iPod then it should work for the mini?
    Only other thing of note is I'm doing all this via my Denon 1707 AV amp which does have the facility of upscaling, but I imagine it needs to stick to one format?
    Thanks.

  • What'z the difference between the Commercial Invoices and

    What'z the difference between the Commercial Invoices and
    Invoices/Excise Invoices? Also I understand that we can combine 2~3
    invoices and can create one commercial invoice? If it is possible, how
    to create the same?
    cheers
    shalsa007....

    Hello,
    A commercial invoice is a bill for the goods from the seller to the buyer. Commercial invoices are utilized by customs officials to determine the value of the goods in order to assess customs duties and taxes.
    In general there is no standard form for a commercial invoice although they tend to contain many of the following features:
    •     seller's contact information
    •     buyer's contact information
    •     consignee's contact information (if it is different from the buyers)
    •     invoice date
    •     a unique invoice number
    •     sales terms (usually in incoterm format)
    •     payment terms
    •     currency of sale
    •     full quantities and description of merchandise (Generally this includes unit price and total price. Product descriptions should be consistent with the buyer's purchase order. Including the Harmonized System commodity codes can be helpful, especially in countries that are WTO members.)
    Excise invoice “Original for Buyer copy”, whether  prices are inclusive or exclusive of excise duty.
    The invoice in which the Excise duties are included.
    As per Indian tax system, Excise duty (16%) is payable by each manufacturing unit on the value of manufactured goods / on the value added. The manufacturing plant is supposed to submit an excise duty report on fortnightly / monthly basis. Various registers (RG1, RG23A, RG23C, PLA) are maintained for that purpose, which record all the transactions including movement of goods, cenvat credit available and cash balance available.
    In SAP, we use transaction j1id for configuration and j1iin, j2i7, j1i5, j2i5, j2i6, j1ip for creating, extracting and printing excise invoice.

  • What is the difference in PS E12 between 'File Open' and 'File Open in Camera Raw' ?

    Both routes launch a screen saying Camera Raw 8.3 - Canon EOS 5D Mark III?
    Likewise on this screen there is 'Cancel' and 'Done' Buttons', what is the difference both close that screen.
    I am assuming the 'Done' Buttons saves any manipulation of exposure or colours you may have made? and the 'Cancel' just forgets them?
    Is there a manual for this product; that one can reference, screen by screen? explaining what each option actually does.

    Chucky-Tiger wrote:

    If you are opening a raw file (.CR2), both routes are identical, because you have to convert raw files in ACR anyway.
    If you are opening a jpeg file, you can open the file directly in the Elements Editor (Open),
    or
    you can open it the the ACR module. The dialog is the same (or nearly) as for raw files, with the same sliders and features, including some you don't find in the editor : clarity, advanced denoising...
    There are advantages in opening jpegs in ACR, especially because ACR works internally in 16 bits and in a wider color gamut. Very important for me is the fact that the ACR modules saves its edits as 'recipees' in the metadata section of the jpeg files, without changing any pixel value of the original.
    Likewise on this screen there is 'Cancel' and 'Done' Buttons', what is the difference both close that screen.
    I am assuming the 'Done' Buttons saves any manipulation of exposure or colours you may have made? and the 'Cancel' just forgets them?
    Cancel does cancel every edit you have started. You are back to the original file.
    'Done' saves your edits, as you rightly assume.
    'Open' saves the edits and send them to the editor for further editing if you want, for local retouch or using layers for instance.
    'Alt Open' does not saves the edits, but sends the edited result to the editor.
    'Save' is only used if you wish to convert the raw files to the DNG format.
