Need advice on codecs for posting video on the web

I am attempting to post a 2 minute trailer (from FCP 4) to the web. I would like to post one version in Quicktime and One in Windows Media Player
I have been experimenting with varios codecs and have found that sorenson 3 works well for quick time but have found nothing that works well for AVI (media player)
Can someone suggest export settings (i.e. formats, codecs, etc.) to export the clip for web display.
I am new to this so I may be overlooking some pretty standard settings that are geared for web display in Quicktime and Media Player --so if there is some standard default settings I should be using, please suggest those.
THanks.

Yes, I did mean 20 megs not 20 gigs and I understand that at 20 megs that still might be on the high side. I guess 10 - 12 megs would be nice.
In any event, I will look for the wmv file but don't know that i have flip4mac - never even heard of it before. (does it come standard with FCP?)
My computer is now goes through 79% of a download and then stops everytime. It seems I fix one problem and create 2 more. Yikes. Perhaps I will put up a separate post for that problem.

  • Software for playing videos from the Web

    Hi all,
    As a regular vistor of all sports websites especially, as well as your funnyvideoclips site etc, I am horrified that my N95 won't play any videos. Why can't the video player used for watching movies I've actually taken be used. Even on BBC's site I cannot view interviews or actual sports footage.
    I'd be grateful to know what my options are and in the most basic of terms as I'm not technically proficient - or good at spelling.

    Open the Video Center, and go select the optional Internet feeds. More and more are being added from time to time.

    YouTube mobile http://m.youtube.com (just use this address in your browser)
    SonyPictures
    FreeBee TV
    Google Video (download the ipod or PSP version of the video it should play correctly)
    Also use Podcasting application to subscribe to Video Podcasts.
    Some websites that stream in RealPlayer mode can be watched with N95. But if they stream Flash (FLV) or WMV then it's a no go.
    Hope this helps.

  • Needs advice on Cam for Music-Video!

    Is the Sony HDR-FX1 a good choice to shoot Music-Video's and is it also the same HDR-FX1e.
    Secondly the reviews on these Cam says PAL, so would it make a big difference in comparison to NTSC, or can you change to NTSC while your in FCP.
    And what is the big difference in Shooting in PAL or NTSC?
    Or even to edit in PAL or NTSC other than one being American base format and the Other European?
    And how good is the Mic on the Cam or is it better to get another Mic in doing live Recordings on locations?
    And whats the best intergration with Logic-Pro 7 ?
    L.P. 7.1.
    L.P. 7.2.1
    L.P. 7.2.3.
    Or is it better with Logic-Pro 8?
    And does it runs flawless on Tiger 10.4.9, in short what is the best OSX, or should i update to Leo?
    Fr.BlayZay.

    I read about Panasonic AG-DVX 100 Cam that shoot in 24f and before its print in FCP, the pull down takes it to 29f.
    And the Sony i believe shoot near enough the same as the Panasonic.
    So if that's the case would the conversion of FCP for the pull down come out alright, there is no point really in jumping to another Forum when the integration is with FCP!
    Just need to get a cam that integrates well with FCP for a budget of under $4,000.00 and in the range of 29.97f,

  • Best practices for posting video to my iWeb site?

    What's the best way to upload movies to my site so that visitors can watch them while sacrificing the least amount of quality, size and speed?
    As an example, the iPhone commercials on the Apple webpage start playing instantly, look great and when Large is selected are the perfect size.
    But I made a 1.5 minute iSight video on iMovie and saved it as a streaming quicktime file and it takes about 10 minutes to fully load once it's on my site. And I have a 10 mpbs internet connection.
    I also just pulled up a large movie trailer on iTunes and it looks great and started playing instantly.
    Is there a better way for posting video? Perhaps in flash or another codec that would make more sense? Videos on youTube play instantly, although the quality isn't always great.
    thanks!

    There is no absolute correct way. One way is shown in this demo page. It lets the page load without having the movie load thus speeding up the page load a fair amount. The movie only has to load when the Play button is clicked on and then it opens in a separate window sized just for the movie. The code used is also shown on the page. This way can allow you to use a larger QT file and not affect the loading of the original page it's linked to.

  • HD video on the web? Question. Need help

    We just started producing HD video. Coming from SD video. In today’s web age can’t most people in the U.S. view 720p video on the internet?
    Our company produces instructional videos that get delivered to the clients by DVD but we also have moved forward to viewing online. My problem is I’m not sure how to approach my web guy about HD video over the web. I would say most of our clients have a fast connection. He is asking for all the old SD videos and me to convert them to .webm/.ogm/.mp4 so he’s doing HTML5. How does this work with HD so the client can have that as an option? He is asking for 400 kbps for our current SD videos and he gets worried when a video is like 60MB so that worries me that he doesn’t know much.
    How does bitrate work with HD video? How should we provide it?

    Thanks. This was my web guy's response (below). Our current videos (SD) are around 450kbps. I'm testing out exporting an H.264 720p (8 mins long) at 1.3 Mbps and the file size is only about double and looks pretty good. How should i respond? agggg
    Using the HD option will eat our servers alive. 
    HD is typically delivered on blueray, not dvd, and your talking about 25 gigs on a blueray dvd…  The web servers use more expensive hard drives to where the amount of space needed and cost would triple the hosting that we use.
    With increased file size comes with increased bandwidth.  Again, we use around 500-750GB a month during the busy season , if the video is 10 times the size, we will use 10 times the amount of bandwidth.
    In all reality, we pay about $500 a month for our current hosting environment.  If we wanted to upgrade to an environment that we can stream hd video, we’d be looking at no less than $2000-3000 a month, maybe more.

  • Saving Quicktime videos from the web?

    I downloaded quicktime pro because I wanted to save other quicktime videos off the web. But it turns out I can only save one or two.
    Is there a way to save the other videos?

    Exactly what is happening when you are trying to save the other videos? Need details.
    Please post the link/URL of the video website for others to check for you.
    If you are trying to download streaming videos, make sure QT streaming settings are enabled.

    I have purchased a 'adobe font folio 11'.
    The ci in this font was made.
    Is there anything wrong with this post copyright if the Web site?

    These machines in themselves are usually pretty good, with the occasional aberration. Let's hope you do not have a rogue.
    Looking at the problems there seem to me (as a guess) two problems: incomplete processes and memory. The two may be related. The camera problem I would dismiss as simply that -- batteries run out and the Mac is trying to complete an impossible process: expecting data, data never arrives.
    The Firefox problem may be something external: a badly coded page; something the browser (or Mac) was not equipped to handle (a plug-in for example) and this could put a strain on RAM.
    Maya, I am not familiar with, but it is (if I remember rightly) graphics-oriented and that can be memory intensive).
    Which all comes down to the RAM you bought. Without knowing what it is or where it came from, or your experience in installing it, that in itself could be a problem. You need to make sure that it is properly seated for one thing, that it is the correct type (although the information here suggests that you are on the right track) and that it is OK.
    You might also want to think about posting a crash log here (find these in Console) as someone -- not me -- might be able to pinpoint a cause.

  • HT201177 I can't play videos on the web - they just stall - stop and start.

    when I am playing videos on the web, Vimeo for example, they play for about one or two seconds and stall.  Then they play another one or two seconds and so on for the entire video.  I have no means of changing the download size in safari preferences.  I am at a loss what to do.  i know of no-one else with this difficulty and the Microsoft laptop on the same broadband router dos not have this problem.

    Empty the Cache, and you can also try the RE-SET Safari option from the menu-bar.
    Let us know if anything changes.

  • Quicktime Pro and getting videos off the web

    I am bound and determined to get videos off the web and use them to make my own videos and what not. I was wondering if quicktime pro is the best program to use for my project. I have downloaded other programs that don't work and I am sick of the hassle. If there is a sure thing program anyone knows about, I'd love to know. Otherwise, it would be great to hear about quicktime pro and it's adeptness or otherwise at successfully getting videos off the web.

    Okay I figured out how to do that, but once it is downloaded, I am still having trouble. I don't know which application to use to open the file. Quicktime won't open it because it says it's not a movie file. I downloaded a standalone player and that couldn't open it either. What do I do?

  • Why can't I play videos on the web?

    When I try to watch videos from twitter or download videos from the web, it doesn't work! The screen just stays blank and nothing happens! Please help someone!

    Depends entirely on the webpage that's serving them. Some will have an HTML5 or other non-Flash way to supply video to mobile devices. For example, the Youtube app in iOS uses HTML5 to display all Youtube videos.

    Constant problems: asking for password, not retrieving mail from the server,leaving things in the outbox. Then it can be fine for days. iPad and iPhone apps sometimes hang for a bit as well.
    A friend just bought an iMac and has had nothing but trouble with ROGERS mail. Support guy walked us through the whole set up today and everything was fine for a while and then it just quit.
    I am wondering if having an IPad, computer and phone all communicating with server at the same time causes problems.
