Optimal setting for radio mode

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and an Airport Express; the latter extending the former. Apple's PDF on the subject made this relatively easy to do. However, my family has two Macs, a Macbook 802.11g and an iMac 802.11n.
Is there an optimal setting of the Airport Utility's Wireless "Radio Mode" for both of these machines that doesn't involve buying more Airports?

I would recommend using the "802.11n only (5 GHz) - 802.11b/g/n" setting for Radio Mode to support your two Macs. Note: You may need to hold down the Option key BEFORE making a selection in order to get the additional mode choices.

  • Optimal setting for 3 disks?

    Please can someone advise me on the best way to setup my 3 disk system for Premiere
    CS4.  All 3 disks are the same model and 1TB in size.
    Disk1 will be for O/S and CS4.  For Disk 2 and Disk 3 where should I store captured video (avi), project files (ppj) and on which disk should the scratch files be kept?
    Thank you.

    Harm,
    Unfortunately my system does not have adequate physical space for more disks so I really am trying to get the best config from 3.

  • What is the best Compressor setting for best quality video playback on an iBook g4?

    I know the iBook and G4's in general are very outdated today, but I need to ask anyways. I have some video projects in 720p and 1080p in which I have down converted to 480p and also exported to MPEG-2 for DVD (personal wedding videos and videos made for my clients using Final Cut Studio). Anything encoded at most resolutions using h264 won't play on my iBook. Even 480p.
    I have about 20 hours of mixed video content that I need it in a format that is suitable for an iPhone 4 and an iBook 12" with a 1.2GHz G4, 1.25GB RAM and I added a 250 WD 5400 IDE hard disk (running 10.5.8 and 10.4.11 for Classic Mode). I know the iBook doesn't seem like the best tool for modern video playback, but I need to figure out which setting will play best with iPhone 4 and iBook so I don't need to make 2 local copies of each video for each device.
    The iBook plays best with the original DVD output MPEG-2 file and playing back in QT Pro or VLC... but I already have 180 GB's of MPEG-2 files now and my little HD is almost full. I don't have enough room to convert all the iPhone 4 counterparts. If I use Compressor 3.5.3, what is the optimal setting for iBook and iPhone .m4v or .mp4 files that can play on both devices? So far 720x400-480 widescreen videos @ 29fps works great on my iPhone, Apple TV 2, and other computers but seems to murder my poor iBook if encoded with high profile (and still choppy on simple profiles). 640x480 (adding black matte bars to my videos) plays fine in MPEG-2 but drops frames or goes to black screen if I convert it to mp4 (and looks bad on the iPhone 4 because of the matte). But if I convert on any of the simple profiles, it looks terrible on my iPhone 4 and a blocky on the iBook.
    This is the problem leading me to having 2 copies of each video and eating my hard disk space. What is the best video setting for both playback on the iBook and iPhone 4? Can the iBook playback H264 at all in decent resolutionsat all? I don't really want to have a 480p .m4v collection for the iPhone 4 and a MPEG-2 RAW collection just to play the same videos on the iBook.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • Best setting for Canon VIXIA HF R21 for YouTube

    I am looking for the best or most optimal setting for shooting video with my Canon VIXIA HF R21 camera.
    I am using a MacBook Pro laptop and Adobe Premiere Elements 10.
    My goal is to produce the best quality videos for a "YouTube" channel. The videos will be for a teenage car show shot outdoors and narrated.
    The current DEFAULT settings are:
    Recording Mode = SP, 1440x1080
    Bitrate = 7Mbps
    Codec = MPEG4-AVC/H.264
    Frame Rate = 60i
    Digital Image stabilization = standard
    Here are possible "alternative selections" - please let me know if any of these settings are better than the Default settings for YouTube.
    Change Recording Mode to
    1. MXP = 1920x1080 @ 24Mbps
    2. FXP = 1920x1080 @ 17Mbps
    3. XP+ = 1440x1080 @ 12 Mbps
    Change Frame Rate to
    1. PF30
    Digital image stabilization
    1. Dynamic
    2. Standard
    3. Off
    I will use Adobe Premiere Elemebnts 10 to upload the final edited video - what setting are the best upload compression settings if I want to upload for the ebst quality?

    BillFlorida, I'm not sure what you're not getting here. Have you tried any of the things we've suggested?
    There are two settings you need to worry about. One is your PROJECT setting. That must match your original footage, as I've indicated. If it doesn't, you're going to get poor performance and video quality.
    The second setting is your OUTPUT setting. That's the only setting YouTube is interested in. If you use the output settings I linked you to above -- working from a project that's been set up properly -- you will get excellent YouTube results.
    Try it. You'll see.
    You'll also see, if you experiment a bit, that there's virtually no difference in the quality of FXP and MXP -- especially if you're going to display your video online. The important thing is that your PROJECT settings match that 1920x1080 AVCHD footage and that you use the YouTube output settings recommended in the FAQs.
    Try it. You will see.

  • Settings for N Mode ONLY?

    How do I configure the AirPort Extreme to only broadcast in N mode?
    The help documentation indicates an "N-Only" setting on a Radio drop down button, but when using the actual software utility I do not see anything for N Only mode.

    Thanks for the clarificaton.
    I'm not able to check on Windows a 7 machine, but on an XP SP3 machine, if I hold down the Ctrl key and keep holding it down as I click on the small arrow on the Radio Mode selection box, I get a list of about 13 different choices for Radio Mode, one of which is
    +802.11n only 5 GHz and 802.11n only 2.4 GHz+
    On a Mac running Leopard or Snow Leopard, you would hold down the Option key while clicking on the Radio Mode selection box to get the same display list.
    If your Samsung machine will not allow this, I can only suggest that you try another laptop, or download AirPort Utility 5.5.1 for Windows again and re-install it to see if that will do the trick.
    If you are still running Tiger 10.4.6 on your Mac, you could try AirPort Utility 5.4.2 to see if that might work. AirPort Utility 5.5.1 is the recommended application, but your operating system would need to be upgraded to Leopard or Snow Leopard in order to run that version of the application.

  • Best Airport Extreme Wireless Radio Mode with Old and New Macs and PC

    I'm running Airport Utility 5.3.2 and am running / connecting to the Internet with a new Airport Extreme 802.11n Gigabit Ethernet (the new squared off one) with "Version 7.3.2".
    In addition to my new MacBook Black (which has 802.11n, I have two other older Maxs that run 802.11b/g (and also a PC that has 802.11.b/g/n).
    Currently, the Airport Extreme's "Wireless" "Radio Mode" is set to
    802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    But, reviewing the Radio Mode menu, I see there are a number of choices that seem "faster" - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz), 802.11n (802.11a compatible) and 802.11n only (5 GHz).
    Can I set the Radio Mode to any of these other settings and still have my older Macs (and the PC) connect to the internet using this Airport Extreme? Or, do I have to leave my Airport Extreme Radio Mode set to what appears to be a slower speed 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) setting to allow others to use this Airport Extreme Base Station?
    FWIW, I do have an older Airport 802.11g version 5.7 still connected and set up and the older computers can / could connect through that. However, I was hoping to give that one to a friend for their use elesewhere and wanted to have only one Airport Extreme set up at my house.

    "you'll use N+B/G at 2.4 GHZ."
    I guess you means that I should continue with my current setting on the Airport Extreme - which is "802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)" - if I want all my computers to access the web via the Extreme. Correct?
    I'm too much of a novice to try a "bridge" mode setup.
    However, your suggestion (I think) "It would be more reliable and faster speed if you could connect both routers to using ethernet" does give me hope.
    My Verizon Fios modem is actually a router. Indeed, I have my TiVo box connected to the Fios modem/router.
    If I connect BOTH of my Airport Base Stations to the Fios modem/router and then do the following:
    (1) set the newer "Extreme" Base Station to "802.11n only (5 GHz)" and
    (2) keep the older Base Station (running 802.11g) as is
    then my (and others') newer computer(s) with 802.11n can connect at high speed via the Extreme and older computers can still connect using the older Base Station.
    Correct?

  • Best setting for gif animations

    what is the optimal setting for animated gifs

    Depends on your style and your training as an animator, and
    what your project goals are: straight animation? interactivity?
    e-cards? Traditional animators used to drawing frame-by-frame with
    exposure sheets will feel more comfortable with Toon Boom Studio
    (www.toonboom.com). It has far superior drawing tools and color
    pallette management and timeline management than Flash. But if
    you're used to Illustrator, that may make no difference to you. It
    appears that the upcoming Flash CS4 will narrow the gap, as the
    interface appears to include enhancements that will be more
    familiar to traditional animators, not to mention IK, which Toon
    Boom Studio doesn't have (the highly expensive Toon Boom Solo does
    have it).
    That said, I think Flash is a great program for creating
    cartoon animation. You may not think you're interested in
    ActionScript programming at this point. I use Flash mainly for
    cartoon animation and I resisted ActionScript for a few years. But
    once you get used to Flash as an animation tool, and then decide to
    dip your little toe into ActionScript, you'll find out what an
    astounding tool it is, even for traditional animation, enabling you
    to do things impossible in more traditional-oriented programs. Plus
    now Flash and Illustrator are fairly well integrated, so you'll be
    able to import and export between the two.
    On balance, I'd go for Flash.

  • Export Media from DV Pal to AVI: Best recommended setting for Output file?

    I have a project in CS4, on Windows, in DV format (original videos were M2t).
    What is the optimal setting for export (and possibly for the sequence settings too) for the best quality and then smallest size?
    If my input is M2T files - is the best settings to work in Premiere is DV 1 for Pal?
    I always use Progressive Interlace - is that required or is the default of Lower field OK as well (I am not sure exactly what is the impact of using just one field, but from previous versions of Premiere Progressive always improved the video image)?
    Is the frame rate of Pal as 25 FPS must be adhered in the sequence setting and export to avoid re-rendering?
    As for the Export side:
    Is using the DV Pal is best for quality without going uncompressed?
    Is starting with 16GB of DV as m2T and ending with 20GB of DV reasonable?
    Is the method of exporting to DV and then compressing it using a 3rd party is the best way going about the creation of the movie and then compressing it for distribution?
    What is the the recommended tool for compressing - and with which format?
    The end result is meant to be consumed as an AVI on people's desktop. Not on mobiles or YouTube or DVD.
    On BitTorrent I see many files that are in HD but have an amazingly small size of less 1 GB - what do these guys use to achieve such small sizes yet amazing quality?
    What is the best tool and codec to achieve a compression based on a file size?
    Is DivX better than XVid? And is "Multipass nth pass" is the way to configure the DivX for best results?
    I really feel we lack any guidance on these aspects and a huge of time is wasted every time I get to this stage when it should all be pretty standrad for me.
    I know I am asking a number of question but if someone is able to jot down the basics of the tool, codec and settings to achieve best quality (regardless of the time it takes to get to it) - I'd be very grateful!
    Merry Xmas and a Happy New year to all,
    Eroka00

    I find your post somewhat confusing.
    These m2t are they converted?
    Run a file that you are using in Prmeiere through Media Info and post a screendump.

    What is the endproduct going to be? YouTube, DVD, media player or .....

  • Optimal settings for h.264

    Does anyone have any recommended optimal setting for encoding DV footage to h.264 at full 720x480 resolution? I need setting that will provide quality with the smallest file size. Thanks.

    Does anyone have any recommended optimal setting for encoding DV footage to h.264 at full 720x480 resolution? I need setting that will provide quality with the smallest file size.You can try the "Movie to iPod" conversion export. This will produce a 640 x 480 (the "square" pixel representation of your 720 x 480 DV "rectangular" pixel movie) in the H.264 "LC" profile at roughly 12+ MBs per minute (i.e., roughly 1630 Kbps). If lower data rates are required and the movie does not need to be iPod compatible, you can use the H.264 "Main" profile in either the "Movie to H.264" or "Movie to MPEG-4" manual export options to limit the data rate to as low a level as you can tolerate in terms of playback "quality."

  • Airport radio mode different between base station and extender

    So this has basically stumped me and i decided to ask the community.  I have a Time capsule1st gen that i use as my main base station. I set the radio mode to 802"11 N 2.4ghz only. On my airport extreme 1st gen, i set it to extend the network.  However when i check the radio mode on the airport extreme  its 802.11 n b/g compatible.  Id really rather have the entire network be N only but not 5 ghz as I still have devices that don't support the 5 ghz signal (ps4)

    However when i check the radio mode on the airport extreme  its 802.11 n b/g compatible
    Apple gives you only one option...theirs....when you extend a network using wireless.
    If you can connect the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme using a permanent wired Ethernet connection, you will regain the 50% speed loss that was imposed by the wireless connection between devices....and....you will be able to set the AirPort Extreme to use 802.11n 2.4 GHz Only as well.

  • Airport Express (2nd gen): Radio Mode & Channel Set-Up

    Hello,
    I am hoping somebody can help me with an Airport Express question.
    I have recently purchased an Airport Express (2nd gen) and iPod Touch (4th gen) to stream music. I experience connectivity problems when my neighbour’s WiFi is turned on. When their WiFi is on my iPod rarely can detect the Base Station and when it does detect it - it cannot connect. The Airport Utility cannot detect the Base Station either when their WiFi is on. Yet when they are away and their WiFi isn’t turned on I have no problems and the system works absolutely perfectly.
    I gather that I can change channels but I am looking for some advice on how to do this.
    In work (because I can open the Airport Utility there –as there is no interference) I connect using the Airport Utility I have found the following options:
    Radio Mode:
    5 GHz Mode:  Automatic mode, 802.11n (802.11a compatible) or 802.11n only (5 GHz Mode)
    2.4GHz Mode: Automatic mode, 802.11n (802.11g/g compatible) or 802.11n only (5 GHz Mode)
    Radio Channel:
    5 GHz Channel: Automatic or four channels (36, 40, 44 or 48)
    2.4GHz Mode: Automatic or choice of eleven channels
    There are dozens of combinations using Radio Modes (5 or 2.4 GHz, manual or auto, 802.11a compatible) and Radio Channels (4 options using 5GHz and 11 options using 2.4 GHz).
    Where should I start? Both radio mode manual and also manual channels? The possibilities seem endless!
    Can someone please help?
    Thank you.

    Hello, Tesserax,
    My apologies if I have breeched community etiquette in asking for your advice.
    I use a second generation Airport Express base station, Ethernet fed with category 6 cable, Radio Mode locked to 5 GHz for best data throughput, the station close to my iPad. The set up has improved YouTube video streaming performance significantly. No streaming freezing so far.
    Are my base station's WiFi Settings are correct?
    This is what I have done via iOS AirPort Utility -
    Edit > Advanced  > WiFi Settings > 5 GHz Name: AirPort Lounge -
    Radio Mode > Manual > Automatic Off > 5 GHz Mode > 802.11n only (5 GHz) > 802.11n only (5 GHz) ticked. Automatic off to allow access to 5 GHz only.
    Radio Channel > Manual > Automatic On > 5 GHz Channel 149. Automatic on to allow switching between 5 GHz channels.

  • Set up binary mode for backup over FTP

    Hello!
    I am about to set up the backup for Oracle DB from Tcode DB13.

    Hi,
    this program may help:
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html (You need the older version for Panther)
    You can use it to clone your internal HDD to your external one, and then clone your external one to your internal one after you erase (and write zeros to ensure everything is gone) using Disk utility (I can't vouch for the actual security of this, but 'apparently' if you do the highest setting it will be secure) after booting from an OS X DVD. This is depends on the drive having the ability to boot, however.
    After you run Cabon Copy Cloner/Clone your HDD see if you can boot from the drive. (Hold option at startup). Unless there are issues with the specific drive model, your eMac should be able to boot from all FireWire devices.
    I'm not sure where Tiger comes into this, however. (As you mention later in your post). The way I understand, you basically just want to erase zeros on your HDD and boot from it just as you acquired it (hence the cloning/re-cloning of the internal HDD).
    Good Luck!

  • How can I set default values for Allocate Mode in AO config?

    Hi, How can I set default values for allocate mode in AO config. To be specific, in the attached vi, I need to set the Allocate Mode in AO Config to 'Use FIFO Memory (6)' if the value inside my case structure is false and to 'no change (0)' if the value inside the case strusture is true.
    Solved!

    Create two constants for the Allocate Mode input (right click > create > constant). Place one in the true case of the case structure, and place the other one in the false case. Wire them to the same tunnel (border of the case structure), then wire the tunnel to the Allocate Mode terminal of the AO Config. I don't have Traditional DAQ installed, but that should do it.
