New H.264/AVC encoding for cameras

Hi All,
Please let me know, how can we activate H.264/AVC video encoding (new feature in Flash player 11 [H.264/AVC software encoding for cameras]) using actionscript 3 in AIR application, I think, it could not be by default as there are no updates available for flash builder 4.5. So, how can we pick the encoding option. Any new API or methodology for this?
In short, how to publish live stream to FMS using H.264 encoding with actionscript 3. [not with FMLE]
Any one any idea??

H.264/AVC software encoding is not turn on by default. You need to assign the NetStream.videoStreamSettings property an H264VideoStreamSettings object. Here's a very simple example;
package
          import flash.display.Sprite;
          import flash.events.NetStatusEvent;
          import flash.media.Camera;
          import flash.media.H264VideoStreamSettings;
          import flash.net.NetConnection;
          import flash.net.NetStream;
          public class TestAVC extends Sprite
                    private var _nc:NetConnection;
                    private var _ns:NetStream;
                    private var _camera:Camera;
                    private var _h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings;
                    public function TestAVC()
                              _h264Settings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
                              _nc = new NetConnection();
                              _nc.client = this;
                              _nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
                              _nc.connect("some fms server");
                              _camera = Camera.getCamera();
                    private function onNetStatus(e:NetStatusEvent):void
                              switch (e.info.code) {
case "NetConnection.Connect.Success":
                                                  _ns = new NetStream(_nc);
                                                  _ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onNetStatus);
                                                  _ns.client = this;
                                                  _ns.attachCamera(_camera);
                                                  _ns.videoStreamSettings = _h264Settings;
                                                  _ns.publish("testAVC");
                                                  break;

Have plan feature H.264 Encoding for Cameras on Mobile?

Have plan feature H.264 Encoding for Cameras on Mobile?
Thank you

Generally speaking H264 is supposed to be about twice as efficient as MPEG2. I think that's probably overstating the case somewhat (i.e. H264 isn't really twice as "good"). However you can certainly cut back somewhat from what you'd use with MPEG2.
Next consideration is the resolution/dimension of the final video. Do you want to go 640x480 (NTSC 4:3 aspect ratio) or something smaller? Since you're starting with video tape I'd suggest something like 480x360 (that should be large enough by a good margin to get all of the quality from a video tape). However, you might even want to drop down to 320x240 since that would be compatible with the video iPod and potentially other mobile, hand-held devices.
Finally, if you go with 640x480 I'd suggest something in the 3Mb to 4Mb per second range (for relatively demanding material, less for so-called "talking heads," and perhaps a bit more for extreme action), that would scale to 1.7Mb to 2.3Mb per second for 480x360, and 750Kb to 1Mb per second for 320x240. If you plan on using Front Row and want to store your video on a remote server (accessed either wirelessly or over ethernet) then you will definitely want to enable the "streaming" option when you encode the video. In fact you may want to use the streaming option in every case (for future compatibility).
If you plan on viewing this video on a computer display or any type of LCD or high-definition device you may also want to consider a de-interlace step for the 640x480 and 480x360 resolutions. You won't need that for the 320x240 video since 240 is exactly one half of the vertical resolution for standard NTSC DV (720x480). However, if you're using PAL you'll need to adjust all of the above resolutions to fit the proper form factors.
As always, the beauty will be in the eye of the beholder. Thus I'd suggest that you try something near the above and adjust accordingly (based upon what you see and like or dislike).

H.264/AVC Encode

Hiya,
we all know our video guru el_loco whom I have known a long time and who helped me two consecutive years to get MY PHONE. This process is based on him.
Our N95 8GBs are HW accelerated for 640X480 REZ'd MPEG4/MP4s and 320X240 REZ'd H.264/AVCs.
I personally prefer H.264/AVC over MP4 just because it is bit clearer and well saturation level.
So, I have been trying to find out which converter does its best to convert **bleep** to good H.264s.
So, I use Videora iPod Converter.
It uses internet occasionally.
When you open it;to avoid so many confusions directly create a new profile.
Name it anything you like.
And the settings are:
It goes in this way:
Settings>New Profile
General: Profile Name
iPod 1-pass-ffPPEGVNB
Video>General>H.264, Baseline Profile, Level 1.3
(Lets keep General2, and general3 untouched)
Bitrate:
ABR
512(it is enough for me, but there is another option-576, if you want more experiment try it, but leave 768 or higher)
Max resolution:320x240
Audio: as you wish, but 64 AAC-LC is enough for me.
Thanks.
Any correction, el_loco welcome.

Hi,
Just some clarification so I don't continue wasting hours encoding video!
I've been trying for ages to get H.264 working on my phone at 640x480 resolution. So if I'm understanding this post correctly, the N95 can't go above 320x240 for H.264??
Don't get me wrong: MPEG-4 looks awesome on the N95 handset, but H.264 would be much, much better for tv-out...
And can it still support H.264 using widescreen resolutions below 320x240?
Thanks,
Jessica

The new Update with the Patch for Camera Raw is not working. Code U44M1P34

Hi there,
i have a problem with the new CC Update - including the patch for Camera Raw 8.7.1
Error Code: U44M1P34
Photoshop CC (2014)
After Effects CC (2014)
Brisge CC
The logfile shows 1 fatal error:
FATAL: Payload 'Photoshop Camera Raw 8_8.7_AdobeCameraRaw8.0All 8.0.0.22 with a number following.
I have tried to uninstall an reinstall. Did not work at all, because the same Problem is shown.
I did not install in other folders. All other updates worked - but not this update. The problem seems to bee only caused by the Camera Raw Update.
Are there others with the same Problem? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance and Greetings,
Joerg

Hi Jeff,
it seems that i have found a dirty, but working solution for my problem on this site: Getting fatal Exit Code 34 when installing an app
To change these 3 folder names and reinstalling of my Programs worked fine without any errors:
Adobe PCD -> Adobe PCDold
backup -> backupold
caps -> capsold
Now the Programs are on the actual status with all updates included and everythings seems to be fine.

Hardware Encoder for H.264? Encoder for Flash? Render Farm?

I use Compressor to create H.264 QuickTime files, and have setup Qmaster to use a 8 core cluster to expedite the process, but it is not reliable, and fails quite often. I have a total of 3 Mac Pros in my facility which can all share their resources to help this process be quicker. I was wondering if anyone knew of a hardware encoder that will encode H.264 files very quickly? I have a bid on a project that if granted, I will need to encode a VAST amount of H.264 QuickTime files. Is the best solution a dedicated Mac Pro render farm with a Qmaster setup?
Next, on to the Flash. I currently use Sorenson Squeeze 5 to encode 2 pass VBR flash files, and it takes forever even on my 2.8ghz Octo with 10gb of RAM. Does anyone know of a piece of software or hardware that can expedite this process? Maybe a Flash render farm? Maybe a gnome with a wand?
Thanks in advance.

Keep your eyes open for when the Matrox CompressHD goes on sale.
While it probably won't be available to use on the job you've just bid on (tentative sale date is May 2009 but who knows if that can be trusted), it otherwise seems like the answer your prayers - it speeds up h.264 and Flash encoding. It will, supposedly, list for $495.
Otherwise, as mentioned, the Turbo264HD is the way to go for now.

How to play MPEG 4 (h.264 / AVC) videos that were encoded for the PSP

Hello,
I am trying to play a video in MPEG 4 (h.264 / AVC) format (file extension .mp4) that was encoded to play on the Sony PlayStationPortable (480x272) via QuickTime. The video plays perfectly via VideoLAN, mplayer or the PSP, but QuickTime only opens a black screen without any error message.
I am using the most current version of QuickTime on WindowsXP or Windows Vista. I have the same problem on either system.
Can anybody tell me how to resolve that problem? I do not want to reencode the videos, though.

QuickTimeKirk,
My goal is to create a looping animation for playback on an iPod. Should be easy right? Not with the QT!
I did the following:
1) Render a bunch of frames destined for looping.
2) Convert them to an uncompresses ".avi" file.
3) Open the ".avi" file in QT Pro.
4) Click "Loop"
5) Play movie. It loops nicely.
6) Click "Export" and select "Movie to QuickTime Movie"
7) Click "Save"
When I play the saved ".mov" file (You said QT retains the metadate requiring looping) IT DOES NOT LOOP!
To recap: This is a Quicktime movie. I selected looping when I created the bloody thing.
It
does
not
loop.
This *****.
This is REALLY, REALLY, ANNOYING! *** is going on with this QT Pro crap? I simply want to loop the movie. Is that really asking too much? I don't think so.
Can someone, anyone, please, please, tell me how to force the movie to loop on launch. Forcing an iPod user to muck about and select looping (can they even do that?) is not an option. Period.
Please help me,
Doug

Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

There will be no further camera support updates for Lightroom 4 beyond what is already listed in this table.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Only current versions of Lightroom (currently Lightroom 5.3) will have further camera support added.
If you need to work with Raw files from new cameras you'll either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or join the Photoshop Photography Program (to get PC CC + LR5 + extras) or convert to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter.

Install location for h.264/avc or x.264 from versiontracker

I downloaded it and was going to install it to the hard drive, but does it need to go into some specific folder for use in imovie9.

I downloaded the right one...i just held off installing till i understood where to put it and like an idiot didn't put two and two together. Thanks. It took 5 hours to process. I am trying again later with the new h.264.

Flash Encoder and Camera Compatibility

When trying to share new video states referencing media on camera

when trying to share a new video states referencing media on camera what is the problem?

I feel your pain. The Adobe forum software does some odd "stuff" with formatting, and once that happens, there seems to be nothing to do about it. I have been caught in that "trick bag," more times, than I can count.
As for Encoding to WMV, Adobe programs, are not known to do a good job of this, and that is both PrE and PrPro. For years, many users recommended Windows Media Encoder, which was free from MS, and to use that, one would Export/Share to an intermediate file, then use WME to do the WMV Encode. MS discontinued the old WME, but one user (Neale, IIRC) found a replacement. Unfortunately, I do not recall the name, but it was something like MicroSoft Media Encoder Live, or similar. That user tested the new, replacement utility, and thought that it also did a much better job, than PrE/PrPro.
Still, quality, and especially with motion (either subject, or camera) needs a good Bit-Rate to produce good results, however at the expense of large files. As all Encoders are not created equal, the best that one can do is to find one, that does a good job, and then experiment with the Bit-Rate to get highest quality at a manageable file size. This is the same "balancing act," that we all fight with.
Good luck, and maybe those, with better memories, can come up with the name of the MS WMV Encoder.

720p30 H.264/AVC is converted to 720p30 AIC

iLife makes a nasty change from 09!
In the past one could choose a camera that shot 720p30 H.264/AVC and know no time would be wasted converting to 720p30 AIC. True, editing wasn't as smooth, but lots of time was saved.
Now iMovie treats 720p30 H.264/AVC as though it were AVCHD and forces an optimize!
Clearly, for many of us this is NOT OPTIMAL behavior!
PS: I've always wondered why iM didn't use a good deinterlacer. So I put some DV clips through Comressor's super good deinterlacer. About 5 minutes took all night. So, I guess that's why they use a poor one.
It looks like Apple is determined to work internally only with progressive AIC.

Sorry Tom, the Pana 700 may say AVCHD on the body but it does not USE AVCHD when it records 1080p60.
You need to read more closely. I said "you may read ..." which means you may read marketing materials that say X. I never said AVCHD on the body has anything to do with BD. So why are you connecting these two?
It is not software or hardware alone that determine what is possible. It is the Sony-Panasonic definition of what IS AVCHD, what IS BD, and what may moved to what.
Signing an AVCHD and/or BD license requires certain things and excludes certain things. Obviously, it allows you put the AVCHD badge on product as long as it CAN do all that is possible with. And, obviously, it allows a camcorder to record other formats such as DV and H.264 as Panasonic does.
Neither AVCHD nor BD allow 1080p50/60. Likely they could. Perhaps they will. But, they don't now. The BD spec does not allow 1080p25 or 1080p30 although the AVCHD spec does. But you can copy 1080p25 or 1080p30 AVCHD to a disc that will play in a BD player IF the builder has a license for AVCHD.

SLLOWWWW encode for HDV to SD for DVD

I am now in the 2nd day of waiting compressor2.3 encode a 2 hour program I shot & edited in HDV.  I am outputting it for a SD DVD.  The longer I watch it encode the longer the time remaining grows and slower the encode process seems to be.
When I went to bed last night it was at 48% complete only to wake up this morning and it is now at 49%.
I set the encode tabs using the apple settings for encoding a 150 minute 16:9 video.  I believe it is a 2 pass setting. I am only processing the dolby 2.0 (which has completed) and the mpeg-2 vid.
I don't recall if I chose to de-interlace the video, but now on second thought if I did that may have been stupid because I'm not sure 1080i is interlaced...
My question or concern is, is this length on compression normal?  I haven't compressed a full HDV program before.  But even my longest SD compressions were under 24 hours.  I expected this to take a while but at this rate I am worried it won't be done until next Friday and then, who knows if it will have worked and I need to get it to a client by next week.
Thanks for your input.

FWIW, an improved FCS 2 (fcp - compressor) workflow with HDV content (I have a HVR-Z1P).
On advice from others and other forums, I do the following when working with FCP and HDV in FCS 2.
(option A) -
• import/ingest the footage as HDV.
• batch convert the HDV and RENAME the footage (from CAPTURE) in to APPLE PRORES 422 codec
• work the time line with output codec APPLE PRORES 422
• submit sequence (s) to COMPRESSOR (works fast)
• when finished, use MEDIA MANAGER to consolidate footage, and purge the HDV footage (if you have limited disk space)
(option b) -
• in FCP log the footage
• import the offline footage using APPLE PRORES 422
• work the project in APPLE PRORESS 422
• submit PRORES 422 sequqnces to COMPRESSOR
• watch cmopressor work this.
I dont have a tehnical explanation fort htis ony an optinion that for HDV to a MULTIPASS H.264 AVC transcode from FCP takes ages on this dual QUAD core (and worse on my old g5 QUAD).
Other methods you could try vary to taste.. THese are:
• from the HDV sequqnce - expoert a QUICKTIME REFERENCE MOVIE - sometimes is quick but most of the time takes ages... then
• set up a QMASTER VIRTUAL cluster with an instance for every two (2) cores you have on all machines in the cluster (plenty of info on this) in these forums. . On this octo, I have 4 x instances for example and one instance on each of the MBP's (unmanaged services).
• submit thereference movie to this compressor cluster.
Others have found better experience submittimg a SELF CONTAINED QUICKTIME movie as above.

Thank you very much for your reply gdgmacguy :) I did all you suggested apart from restore as new device . Didn't know I could do that . After restore I did restore from back up only, as I didn't want to end up without contacts details on my phone. If I restore as new device how do I get my all contacts? Still will have to use back up? Sorry if it sounds like I don't know what i am doing, i just have no one to ask who would know. Thank you

Encoding for content in KM

Hi All,
I'm modifying and updating an existing file in KM. I use DOM to parse the file and update it as follows:
Element rootElem = doc.getDocumentElement();
<code to update rootElement>
Finally, I want to convert the Document or rootElement to IContent and update it in the repository. I use the following code:
IContent newContent = (IContent)MimeUtils.getContentFromString(rootElem.toString(),"text/xml");
IContent newFile = new Content(newContent.getInputStream(),"text/xml",newContent.getContentLength(),"ISO-8859-1",null);
resource.updateContent(newFile);
The file is updated with the above code, however the encoding "ISO-8859-1" does not seem to be set. There are spanish characters in the file and upon opening the updated xm file in the browser, I get "Invalid character" errors for the spanish characters..
Is there an alternative method to set the encoding for the created "Content" object? Appreciate any pointers on this. Thanks!
~Prachi

resolved by creating content from the string "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>" + rootElement.toString()
