Optimal Settings for Podcast Output

I'm experienced with the editing and output rendering for DVD settings for Encore CS2 and .wmv for our on-demand video hosting server. We have a request for our medical education videos to output for podcast distribution.
Other than the obvious "ideal" presentation tips of keeping any recorded powerpoint fonts and graphics as large as possible, what's the output workflow needed?
Thanks

We have a 2.4Ghz MBP with the 256 MB video card.
We have 4 GBs of RAM, which you should consider.
However, without indicating what codec and cam you will be using, there isn't much more to say.
If you are working with a DV or HDV camcorder, for example, use an ExpressCard 34 FW or eSATA card and an external HDD for media.
That creates independent FW buses if you go that route or a FW bus and a eSATA HDD connection.

  • New stream, low upload rate... Optimal Settings for streaming games?

    I've been fiddling around with FMLE for the past few days/weeks and trying to find the best quality to stream quality games such as Bad Comapny 2, Starcraft 2, Mass Effect 2, etc
    I am able to play games at max settings, but when I do the stream will lag so I choose to make the settings low enough so I can stream.
    The only probably right now is they seem quite blurry/pixelated - which is probably due to my upload rate of 0.8mbps from SpeedTest.net1
    My specs are:
    Resolution of 1680x1050 (Most of my games like Bad Company 2 are played at 1280x720 windowed mode)
    i5-2500K
    GTX 560 Ti
    12GB Ram
    1TB Hard Disk Space
    Windows 7 64bit
    Upload rate of 0.8mbps (and 5.0mbps download incase it is needed)
    http://www.justin.tv/mrshotzzzz/videos - Bad Company 2 at the moment... There seems to be a LOT of blurryness, but it seems quite smooth.
    http://www.twitch.tv/mrshotzzzz/b/293073526?id=293073526&channel=mrshotzzzz - This is my latest... (skip to 1:25 where I configure it to be good)
    When I fullscreen it, around the edges mainly, I see it is pixleted.
    I use 1280x720 input, and 640x360 output with 800kbps. Is it possible to make it better?
    Would an output of 640x360 with a bitrate of 650kbps be better?
    Would an output of 854x480 be better?
    Could changing my input size to 1920x1080 make my quality better?
    tl;dr What is the optimal settings for a good specced computer, but with a low upload rate (0.8mbps)?

    Hi,
    In iChat 3 or iChat 4 setting System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming to 1.5Mbps is quite important.
    In Tiger (10.4.x) the Automatic Setting here is read as Zero by iChat and can cause issues even when the Speed is high enough.
    In Leopard for iChat 4 this Automatic setting is read as 384k by iChat (although this is the Minimum for a 4 way Video chat it may still cap your Internet Speed).
    If you have to change this iChat will need a restart if open.
    The real controlling factor is the Upload speed the Internet Connection speed has.
    There is one other place to help with the Bandwidth/Internet Connection speed.
    This is in iChat menu > Preferences > Video Section > Bandwidth Limit drop down.
    This can be changed during A/V chat and changes to the Bit rate iChat is using is shown in the Connection Doctor (Video Menu).
    This is best used when Really Fast Buddies (Processors and Internet Speeds) can tend to "Over-run" lesser speeded Buddies. It can also help if your ISP manages the Bandwidth/Internet Connection speed making it run slower or faster at different times of the day (Also look at Fair Usage Policies).
    There is no independent way to reduce the Frame rate that would have a direct effect on this.
    There are other apps that do use less demanding picture quality that in turn effects the Frame rate which can effect the Bandwidth needed/Used
    See this link http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page5.html#_other
    Scroll to numbers 5 through 8 for Apps, 9 through 12 for Web Browser options.
    13 is a PC app.
    14 & 15 works in Video only to MSN Buddies.
    The list does not have a reference to the Yahoo Beta 3 for Mac

  • Optimal Settings for FCP6 on MacBook Pro?

    Up until a week ago, I've worked mostly on a Mac Pro with Final Cut Studio 2. I've been fortunate enough to get a MacBook Pro (2.6Ghz) also outfitted with FCS2 and I'm wondering if there is such a thing as "optimal settings" for running FCS2 on the portable notebook.
    I'm referring to such things as memory and cache settings and Playback control, etc. I would like the MBP to run FCS as efficiently as possible. I know I won't get the same power-crunching ability as the Mac Pro but does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Sync settings for podcasts.

    Hi. Could someone please tell me the correct sync settings for podcasts. I listen to them on the iPhone and when I sync, instead of deleting they are all marked as unread. Should I sync "all" (assuming that between the iPhone and the iMac, they will sort out has been read), "unread" so that only the unread ones are left untouched, or "new" so the previous ones are left untouched and marked as unread. I sometimes have quite a backlog and it is a drag going through them all to find the ones that I have already heard.
    Thanks.

    I just deleted on the iPhone some of the ones I had heard. I then did a sync and lo and behold, the episodes were back on the iPhone.
    So, I understand this is not a two-way sync. The iMac copies to the iPhone and any intervention on the phone does not seem to make a difference.
    My setting in itunes are default setting for all podcasts (keep all unplayed episodes).
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you

  • Optimal settings for video extraction

    What are the optimal settings in final cut pro 6.0 in order to take a finished project from my computer and put it on an external drive for the purpose of transferring this file to a beta tape? Also what are the optimal settings in order to take this same project file and burn it to a DVD? I want to get the best quality video as possible as this video will be played on TV.

    What are your settings now? Who will be handling the output? They are the ones to ask the question on output format for layback to betasp. I'd say Uncompressed 8-bit or ProRes (standard def)... but this is dependent on the format you are working with now too.
    As for DVD...just export a QT movie (self contained, sequence settings...or REFERENCE, uncheck the self contained box) and use the DVD preset in Compressor, then send to DVD SP...or take the QT into DVD SP and have it do the encode.

  • Best Compostion Settings for DVD output

    I am working on a project that does involve some regular DV footage but the vast majority of the footage will be animation movs exported from After Effects. These movies are simply pans and zooms on still photos done in After Effects.
    What I'm wondering is what sequence settings I should use.
    The final output will be to DVD and it will be viewed mainly on TVs, not computers.
    One thing I hate is when I do these still pics and on a TV they look jittery or shimmery or alias-y or whatever it's called.
    Is there some way to avoid this?
    Is it possible to do a movie in progressive scan even though some of the footage is DV?
    How about when exporting from AE? Should I use the DV setting or the progressive setting?
    Any thoughts will be very helpful.
    Thanks,
    S

    David,
    Your answer "Depends on what is causing the problem. Could be one of (or a combination of) many things; resolution too high, areas of fine detail in the image, poor scan, dimpled/textured photo paper, patterns within the image, areas of high contrast within the image, etc. Each of these problems needs to be addressed individually for each photo." intrigues me.
    We are scanning the photos as high res (3000x2000 in some cases) TIF files to allow for panning and zooming. They are B+W and do often have high contrast. They also often have areas of fine detail. I don't think poor scanning or dimpled paper are issues.
    Could you offer any ideas on how to fix these images for TV viewing? I will say that I have read other posts on here about using deinterlace, flicker filter, etc and I am never pleased with the way the image is degraded with these filters.
    The best I have found is to use a slight blur. On this forum people often say less than .5 pixels but that is never enough to eliminate the flicker, shimmer, what-have-you. I am often forced to use a gaussian blur of 1 to 1.5 pixels.
    What I don't like about this is how it then looks on a computer monitor (should people pop the DVD into watch on their home computer). On a TV the images generally look fine.
    Any ideas?
    Do you think just sticking with regular NTSC DV sequence settings is appropriate?
    What about sequence settings for video processing? Would it help at all to use "high quality YUV" rather than "8 bit YUV" since these are animation movies of still pics?
    Thanks for the help,

  • Settings for GR Output as Email

    Hi Guys,
    We are implementing MM-SUS scenario. Our ECC system (ECC 5.0 -SAPKH50008) is integrated with SRM 5.0. In our scenario, a vendor sends ASN from SUS system via EDI. ASN gets updated in ECC PO as an Inbound Delivery. Further, GR is manually posted in ECC with reference to this Inbound Delivery document. Our requirement is to have the ECC system send an email to the vendor every time a GR is posted for an inbound delivery.
    I have maintained the following settings in ECC SPRO
    1.Executed program u2018RM07NCUSu2019.
    2.I created a Z output type by copying the standard output type MLGR.
    3.In the output type, transmission medium is maintained a u2018Simple Mailu2019; Partner Function as u2018VNu2019; Dispatch Time as u2018Send   Immediatelyu2019. I also maintained the Partner Function as u2018MPu2019 and u2018VNu2019 for this output type.
    4.This Z Output type is maintained in u2018Maintain Output determination procudureu2019 under procedure u2018ME0001u2019.
    5.Lastly, I maintained condition record for this Output type. Here, the system does not allow me to add the vendor number a Partner. Hence for testing purpose I have added a user id.
    However, the system doesnu2019t trigger an output message when I post a GR in ECC. Please let me know how to setup this requirement. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Ramesh,
    Thanks for the helpful suggestions (Points Awarded!)
    Now, the system is trying to trigger an email. When I post a GR, system generates a GR number and the next moment I get an error message - 'Update was terminated'. I can see an outbound message in my SAP Inbox. Surprising, no GR document is created in the system with that generated number.
    This is the error message in the SAP Inbox
    Update was terminated
    User.....   A0012
    Transaction..   MIGO
    Update key...   4A54D04242452853E1000000AC1401C5
    Generated....   08.07.2009, 16:07:46
    Completed....   08.07.2009, 16:07:48
    Here, A0012 is my SAP user id. The sender and recipient is my SAP user ID. As mentioned in your previous post, I think maintaining NDR parameter in my user attributes would make this email trigger feature specific to my user whereas my requirement is to have a email triggered for all user id. Will it involve development work for the system to fetch email Id of the vendor maintained in MN21?
    Thanks,
    SKN

  • SMTP Settings for Podcast Producer

    Recently our University changed email providers, which required us to change settings on our devices.  I updated the SMTP settings in Podcast Producer to reflect the new service, however I am no longer receiving the administrator emails whenever XGrid starts or starts a job.
    Here's the rub... the user notification emails are working fine using the same SMTP settings.  Is there somewhere else that SMTP settings are stored in Podcast Producer that I missed?  I am able to ping the SMTP server fine with no problems.

  • Best project settings for multiple outputs

    Hi guys,
    I have a project that will be needed to be outputted to many different formats (web, hd, sd, flash etc).
    What's the best settings for a project of this type... obviously the highest common denominator... but your suggestions would be appreciated.
    PS... I'm is Australia (PAL), and the project will only be displayed in Australia.

    You got it - highest resolution requirement. Then use Compressor to create the lower rez versions from your exported Quicktime.

  • Optimal settings for encoding HDV 1080i footage to SD dvd

    I have footage recorded from an HDV camcorder and edited in FCP 1080i 60. It is fast moving sports footage shot with a high shutter speed the total running time is 40 min. I have encoded it to DVD by taking the HDV 16:9 FCP sequence dropping it to a 4by3 DV sequence to get the window box 4by3 aspect ratio and exporting this sequence as an mov. This mov was then encoded with compressor dvd 90 min best settings
    I was not able to find a quick way to do the aspect ratio change in Compressor 3. Please let me know optimal settings.
    The big problem however is how compressor has dealt with the high speed moving footage. Played from the DVD on a sd tv the motion is terrible. It looks like the interlacing is all off and the image doubled up. The slow mo footage used in the piece is fine.
    What are the optimal settings to smooth out the motion?

  • Best Settings for HD output with Still Photos and Audio?

    I am creating a 1 minute audio presentation that I would like to add photos and text titles to. What are the best sequence settings for this?

    Joe,
    Thanks for your help. Would these be HDV settings, NTSC (?), PAL...etc?
    I guess I just want it to look good. I'm a photographer and not a videographer so this is all new to me. I've just made some quick little videos (only about 4) in the past with Premiere. I'm much more familiar with Photoshop, but I thought this would be an easy project. I just don't want my photos to show up blurry. I'm in the US, so I think there is a difference for that with the NTSC and PAL settings, but I don't even know if I should use one of those or if it's one of the other endless options up there.
    Are the ones you said just different sizes that the videos can be enlarged to and show clearly at an enlarged size? (Sort of like dpi?)

  • Optimal Settings for Distance

    I'm sure this has been covered, but what are the idea settings for my Airport Extreme when it comes to distance?
    I can't move my router any closer to my bedroom than it already is, and the signal dies right at the foot of my bed. So all I need is about 8 more feet.
    Would 2.4 vs 5Ghz help? WPA2 vs WEP? Multicast rate? N vs n/b/g compatible? Interface robustness?
    Thanks in advance.

    As you can imagine, it's impossible to predict performance in advance without knowing volumes about the construction of your home, construction materials, carpet, furniture and a million other things. Even then, the prediction would probably be wrong.
    2.4 GHz signals travel better than 5 GHz signals, so try the 2.4 Ghz band. And, perhaps surprisingly, "g" signals travel and penetrate better than "n". So, for maximum distance and penetration, try 802.11 b/g or 802.11 g.
    It sounds like you really need a device like an AirPort Express to "extend" your wireless signal from the AirPort Extreme. Ideally, the Express would be located 1/2 to 2/3 of the distance between your AirPort Extreme and the area that you want to "extend".

  • Optimal settings for 9800 PRO

    Does anyone know the BEST settings for a 9800 Pro. I do not want to get a program to OC it. I just would rather change the settings than use a program. So if anyone knows what the BEST settings or know of a site that tells you the BEST settings for a 9800 Pro, I would appreciate it very much if you were to tell me.  Thanks.  

    try rage 3d tweak...it has an overclocker too, but you dont have to use it, and it practically gives you full control over the cards settings.

  • 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."

  • Optimal settings for export from 1080p camcorder - Canon HF100

    I just bought an HF100 camcorder. When I make projects with iMovie what are best export settings for 1080p projects? What about for 480p for a DVD. I tried to export 1080p video and it looks grainy. I'm not sure if this is the fault of the camera or iMovie?
    Also, when I play clips inside imovie the playback is choppy. Is there anyway to fix this?

    I'm using a HF10, and I don't think iMovie '08 properly detects that 1080p recordings from these camcorders are progressive scan, but rather treats then like 1080i clips. I find I get better results by recording in the default 1080i if there's sideways motion in the video. That doesn't really surprise me - according to the AVCHD consortium website, there's no such thing as 1080p in AVCHD (see http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html).
    DVDs are always interlaced anyway, so for best results you want to start with 1080i and not 1080p. I export at 960x540i, using the Quicktime export option selecting "High" quality mode. The default "Large" sharing option in iMovie uses a bitrate that I find too low for getting the best quality.
    When you export at 1080p, what is your bitrate set to? That makes a lot of difference.
    Finally, 1080p playback is very hard work for your computer. Try quitting other applications before playing back your video to get a smooth experience. Or export at 540p.
