Need to create mpeg4 simple profile 720X480

Hi,
I recently got a Sony head unit for my car. I see it has the capability of playing .mp4 video off of USB thumbdrives, but the settings for the videos are hard to achieve. I have tried After Effects, Adobe Media Encoder, Quicktime, and Handbrake, and couldn't get it. For After Effects, everytime I set it to an mp4 simple profile, it would down rez the aspect ratio. (the aspect ratio wouldn't get altered if it was the H264 mp4, but it needs to be simple profile). For Handbrake, I set the right settings, but upon playback in the car, the audio would trail off within the first minute.
The exact specs I need are:
• Profile: MPEG-4 Simple profile*
• Bit rate: Max. 7 Mbps on USB FS, 10 Mbps on
DVD, 7 Mbps on CD
• Frame rate: Max. 30 fps
• Image size: Max. 720 × 480 pixels
• Audio: Max. 320 kbps (AAC-LC)
• File extension: .mp4
Can someone please help me out with this? I'm comfortable with the render que with After Effects, but I've never used Compressor before. My main goal is to be able to have the video at a decent bit rate to where it's completly clear and not pixelated / be able to skim through to half way through the movie and the audio is still entact and not off timing. Oh, and if a movie could be roughly around 1GB that would be an extra plus.
Please help, thanks.

Toast allows MPEG-1 export. It is the format of VCD's (CD's that play in DVD players).
I have an export to Toast option in my QuickTime Pro dialogs that will export any of my QT file formats to .mpg
You can also use it to create a VCD (no need to burn the disc) and drag the blah.DAT file out to the Desktop. Renaming the file to blah.mpg is all you need to do.

    As all of the msuic came from your computer in the first place it should still be there.  Is it not?
    EVERYTHING on your ipod should also be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.
    Make sure that everything is on your computer.  You can transfer itunes purchases from the ipod.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    When everything is on your computer, then it can be synced back to the ipod after updating.

  • Need help creating a simple form in Dreamweaver CS3!!

    I'm trying to create a form in Dreamweaver CS3, and while I have the form built I'm confused as to how to make it actually function.  What I'm trying to do is create a form that when the visitor clicks submit, the data is emailed to me.  Can someone help me figure out how to accomplish this?
    Thanks so much!

    Ute's answer is spot on - you need a FormMail script to process the form.  Check with your host (or via the control panel) and see if they supply such a form for free.
    If not, google for "formail script' and you'll find quite a few available - all free to use.
    You just need to add a couple of lines to your html code, change a few things in the formmail script and the form will process.  Sounds complicated but most scripts come with a help file to help you get off the ground.

  • I need to create a simple form and have it submitted to Paypal...

    Hello all,
    I need to have visitors go to my website, register and then pay for a seminar at my church. I know how to create a form; but I need to know how to create a form that will register and pay for the event. The payment will go to Paypal, which we already have set up. Any pointers or tutorials around?

    That was what I was suggesting. If you are no familiar with secure web sites (and I am not), it is best to have that part handled by pros in that area. They also get to accept the liability in such cases (read any contract carefully). You may want to be sure that the page returned opens in a browser and not in Acrobat. The latter is probably not the best way to link to a secure site.

  • Help needed in creating a Simple Service

    Hi, I'm a student studying java and would like to set up a simple SOAP service using J2EE and Apache Tomcat, but have fallen at the first hurdle it seems.
    Here's my problem:
    Whenever I try to use the SOAP admin tool to deploy a service, and I try to click on the "List" button, I get a compiler error when the browser is trying to compile "list.jsp".
    It says:

  • Need to create a TASKS page with a filter default in PWA Project Server 2013 (Online)

    Never done this so, I am wondering How to go about or what I would need to create a simple PWA page like "Tasks" in Project Server 2013 online where it default to a filter that is set to not equal to the user that is logged on?
    \Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

    Hi Spiro,
    The "my tasks" page or "my timesheet" are automatically filtered on the user currently connected. Unless you are using workarounds such as status manager or delegation, I see no way to bypass this.
    Hope this helps,

  • Need Help for a simple Keypress to advance to next frame

    Hi all,
    I am pretty weak at Action script.  I need to create a simple presentation that displays a bunch of photos.  I want to be able to hit the space bar to advance to next picture.  I am able to stop the playhead at the picture, but i want to advance to next labelled frame by hitting the space bar.  Some help would be great.
    Thanks
    Anthony

    Thanks for the quick response, I have a 4 pictures on 4 seperate layers.  The starting keyframe for each picture is labeled "Slide 01"," Slide 02" etc.  When i test movie, it automatically plays the first picture labeled "Slide 01".  At the end that slides frames I have a stop action.  When I hit the space bar, i want the playhead to jump to the next slide which it's start keyframe is labeled "Slide 02".  It has a few frames to allow for fadeing in, and then a stop action on the last keyframe. And so on.
    I entered your code and placed the goto and play event handler to jump to the next slide's keyframe which i labeled "Slide 02".  I did get the following error:
    Location: Scene 1, layer 'Scripts', Frame 1, Line 3
    Description: 1046: Type was not found or was not compile-time constant: KeyBoardEvnt.
    Source: function next(event:keyboardEvent):void
    stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP,next);
    function next(event:KeyBoardEvent):void
    if(event.keyCode==Keyboard.SPACE){
      gotoAndPlay("Slide 02");
    Thanks

  • How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another? I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

    How do I move all my files from one User Profile (account) into another?
    I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

    ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
    now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
    the start of that tree is /
    so, if you were to do:
    cd /
    (cd means change directory)
    it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
    cd /Users
    will bring you to where all the users are.
    to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
    ls means list files/directories
    so:
    cd /Users
    ls -la
    (the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose))  this flag is very optional.
    you will see
    fred
    user2
    for example.
    if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
    for example:
    cd /Users/user2/Desktop
    Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
    ls -la
    you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
    you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
    cd /
    cd Users
    cd user2
    cd Desktop
    this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
    So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
    /Users/user2
    which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
    if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
    most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
    so in your case.
    sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
    should work
    Remember that if you start a path with the character /  it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
    so
    cd /Users/fred
    is not the same as
    cd Users/fred
    unless you were in / already
    i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
    to simplify, think of it that / means C:\  on windows
    you can't go any higher than C:\  (in a way)
    if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
    pwd
    it will tell you where you are.
    for example:
    cd /
    pwd
    this shows  /
    cd Users
    pwd
    this now shows /Users
    cd /System/Library
    pwd will show /System/Library
    cd /
    cd /Users
    cd fred
    cd Library
    pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
    unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
    so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
    ls -la  (this shows all the files where you are)
    if you see myfile in the list
    do a pwd
    whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
    whatever pwd returned / myfile
    I hope that makes sense.

  • How to create a content profile and Why this need

    how to create a content profile and Why this need

    Hi,
    You will need profiles to control the following behavior:
    - Which metadata to be shown in the checkin form and search form
    - Define default values to certain metadata
    - Make metadata editable, hidden, info only etc
    - Allow the user to see only relevant metadata, for example you could have 50 metadata defined, but all you need for the user to input is 10 for say HR documents, you can show only these 10 metadata for the user to contribute
    HTH
