Optimizing for computer viewing

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, but I have searched without success.
I am creating a DVD for an artist that is chock full of TIFF files (all of which are 720x480). The DVD looks great on NTSC monitors, and in simulator, but when played on computer monitors the images are soft. I do understand the difference between computer monitors and NTSC monitors, but is there a way to build a DVD that is optimized for computer viewing? I know this is not what DVDSP is mainly used for, but any suggestions will be appreciated. Again my apologies if this has been covered. Thank you.

Hi:
At what magnification are you playing the DVD in your computer? REmember that playing in computer full screen can double (or more!) the size of your video format.
What is the scope of your project? If you need just computer playback probably a Video DVD is not the highest quality you can get. Probably a multimedia application can gices you more resolution. Just an idea.
If you do need to create a Video DVD, probably you need to change your workflow. What size (in pixels) are imported images? What encoding settings did you use? What kind of images are you using (I mean, the content of the images)?
DVDSP Slideshows don't gives you too much control. You can get full control of your edit and encoding working in a FCP timeline (i.e. using a low compression codec like uncompressed or even DVCPRO50) and using Compressor to encode it to MPEG2.
Just some ideas !
Hope that helps !

  • SaveAs and maintain "optimized for web view" via javascript???

    I am trying to do a SaveAs via javascript, but I need to maintain the linearized (optimized for web view) state of the PDF.
    I would get this via the SaveAs menu item, but I need to do it silently and rename the file (replace _H.pdf with .pdf).
    Is there anything that I can read that will help me do this? I have looked through the API reference, AcrobatUsers.com, web search, etc.
    Or, if it cannot be done, stop me now.
    Here is what I am doing currently wtih help from this forum.
    XXX_DoSaveLoRes = app.trustedFunction(function()
    app.beginPriv();
    this.saveAs(this.path.replace(/\_H.pdf$/i,"") + ".pdf");
    app.endPriv();
    Thanks,

    I don't think it can be done.

  • Export for computer viewing.  H264?

    I exported my 33 minute FCE film as Export>QuickTime Movie and got a beautiful end result and a file size of 13.47 GB, all as I expected. I will use iDVD to make a DVD of the film from this QuickTime movie.
    I would like to export another version of the movie to keep on my internal hard drive purely for viewing on the computer (no additional editing or burning to DVD). Although I would like to have decent quality for this version, my main concern is to end up with a relatively small file size. It doesn't have to be tiny, but certainly smaller than 13.47 GB.
    I intend to use Export>QuickTime Conversion, but have some questions about how to accomplish what I want. First, though…..
    My video is:
    Frame size: 1280x720
    Vid rate: 29.97fps
    Compressor: Apple Intermediate Codec
    My audio is:
    Aud Rate: 48.0 KHz
    Aud Format: 16-bit integer
    Data rate: 187.5 K/sec
    My sequence settings match my video and audio.
    Here are my questions:
    1. Is h264 the compressor I should use?
    2. The default video settings for h264 are:
    Quality: High
    Key frame rate: 24
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimensions: 556x313 (Current)
    Are those the settings I should use? And why are the dimensions stated as 556x313 (Current) even though my video in FCE is 1280x720?
    (The default audio settings match my audio settings in FCE so I assume they're fine.)
    3. Since I don't intend to put the movie on the Internet, should I uncheck "Prepare for Internet Streaming"?
    4. I started an export using these settings and got an estimate that it was going to take over three hours to finish the export. That's significantly longer than it took to export the original Export>QuickTime Movie version. Does that seem right?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    1. Is h264 the compressor I should use?
    Yes - right now H.264 is pretty much the go-to codec for universal video playback. It's a highly compressed codec (meaning that it generally requires a more powerful processor for playback) but gives you great quality at relatively small file sizes.
    2. ... Are those the settings I should use? And why are the dimensions stated as 556x313 (Current) even though my video in FCE is 1280x720?
    The dimensions will be whatever the size of your Quicktime window. So if you've reduced your QT playback window, you'll see those values are smaller than expected. You can change this to full-frame if you want to keep your true frame size.
    Yes, you can turn off Internet Streaming.
    4. I started an export using these settings and got an estimate that it was going to take over three hours to finish the export. That's significantly longer than it took to export the original Export>QuickTime Movie version. Does that seem right?
    Yes, and here's why. When you originally exported from FCE, the system wasn't doing any transcoding. It was using the same codec and frame size as the raw video you're working with. That's why the file size is so large. When you export to a more compressed codec, like H.264, there's a lot of processing to be done. The speed of your system will greatly affect the time that this takes. Three hours for a half hour piece is not unheard of. Perhaps you can run it overnight?

  • Turn off "Optimizing for fast web viewing"?

    I downloaded a .doc file from the internet with Firefox and saved it to hard drive. Then I had it converted to a .pdf format online via zamzar.com. Then I opened it with Adobe Reader XI and saved it to hard drive, but it changes size in that process. There's a popup near lower right of screen saying "Optimizing for Fast Web Viewing" (see graphic below) which I never saw before. This is very disconcerting and upsets all notions of file identity based on size. I don't want it to change the size automatically. How do I turn that off?

  • Best, export slideshow in iMovie, for online viewing

    I tried exporting my 5min slideshow in iMovie using this setting:
    go to>share
    export using quicktime
    export as: mpeg4 settings>
    file format: mp4
    video format: h.264
    data rate: 1500 kbits/sec optimized: cd/dvd

    key frame: 12
    frame rate: 12
    video options>
    restrict profile to: main
    encoding mode: best
    ~
    So far, this is good file size for online uploading, and good quality. Good enough. But there are still color issues, like some color blotching, and color transitioning, and the quality of the photos in the imovie when exported is not as good as when I view the slideshow in imovie. It's very important that the quality of the photos remain top quality as this for fine art photography promotion.
    If you have any ideas how to export slideshows from imovie, in top quality, please reply. This is for online viewing, to be uploaded in free-hosted sites like youtube, facebook, multiply, etc. I am aware that youtube and facebook have HD options for video viewing. I need someone's help. Thanks.

    Yes, I did. Not so good. The settings I mentioned above is actually the best I've tried so far.

  • Create are report for computer with problematic status?

    Hi guys,
    I'm checking some of the reports in the WSUS (Windows Server 2008 R2 ) and some of the computers report message like "This computer has not reported status in e.g. 20, 60 or more days. I want to create a report based on this status. Something simple,
    for example only hostname, IP, OS - like the one in the console, but only for a computers with such messages. Is it possible?

    some of the computers report message like "This computer has not reported status in e.g. 20, 60 or more days. I want to create a report based on this status.
    Not possible using the native console.
    You can generate a report using the PUBLIC_VIEWS using the PUBLIC_VIEWS.vComputerTarget.LastReportedStatusTime field.
    Or, you can just sort the "All Computer" view in the console by Last Status Report, and Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V into Excel, and then filter Excel by the cutoff date desired.

  • Contribute 6.5 optimized for Retina Macbook?

    Is Contribute 6.5 optimized for a retina Macbook screen? I don't want to get a new Macbook retina and then see a pixelated screen - I only use Contribute from Adobe. So my concern is only this software, nothing else. Thanks!!!

    No it's not... and it looks awful. Adobe Contribute is one of the most used programs on my computer. When my other laptop  died recently, I had to buy a new MacBook. So I was pretty surprised when the graphic display was highly pixelated.
    Nothing like progress taking you back ten years.

  • SSM 10.1 Screens Optimized for iPad

    With the recent release of SSM 10.1 SP4, users can now consume SSM content natively on the iPad (ie without the need for the SSM iPad App). Specifically users can view data on
    Scorecards: objective and KPIs data
    Homepage: alerts and performance
    summary
    Initiatives: initiative summary and
    milestones
    Strategy: diagrams including objective drilldown
    Briefing Books: as PDF
    In future SPs we plan to add the ability to view and respond to Comments, edit Initiative data, and view and approve Entry and Approval data.

    The core SSM screens are not optimized for iPhones now, but adding the ability to do things like view and approve Entry and Approval data via the iPhone is definitely on our radar.
    Yes, your iPad must be connected to your corporate network to access SSM data IF SSM is deployed within the org's firewall. If SSM is deployed in a hosted environment (e.g. via a partner hosted or HANA Enterprise Cloud environment) then connection to the corporate network may not be required.
    Yes, at some point we will have a publicly available, self contained demo that highlights the SSM iPad optimized screens. At a minimum we'll have a recorded demo available on YouTube soon, similar to the CI demos up there now...see the links below.

  • How can I save my photos on a removable hard drive for easy viewing?

    I just got a brand new Macbook Pro and I wanted to transfer some of the photos from my old computer over to my new computer (from a My Passport removable hard drive), but I found that this wasn't possible with how I had saved then with iPhoto.  I now have all of my photos on my new computer, but don't want to waste all that space.  How can I save the photos I don't want on this computer to my removable hard drive for easy viewing?  When I look at the removable hard drive now, it's saved altogether as iPhoto Library, so I can't just see certain ones...

    While in iphoto,hold down the command key and select all the pics you want to move. Once all the pics are selected, release the command key and select export from the file menu. Iphoto will present a dialog box where you can select the quality of the pics before exporting. Then export them to whereever you would like. If you want to put them on an external HD then select that.When you wish to view them,you can use preview or right click on any pic and choose which program to open them with.After doing this if you no longer want them in iphoto then delete them and make sure to empty the trash in iphoto after doing so.

  • SSC Configured for Computer Policies

    Hi -
    I'm setting up a new test client after having to reinstall the ZENWorks Server as a multiple server (because we need the reporting service). I am now running into an issue where every time I attempt to install the client on a system I get the following message :
    SSC Configured for Computer-based Policies
    This computer's authentication information is currently unavailable. If you continue to see this warning, you will either need to rejoin the domain or contact your network administrator.
    When I checked the Event Viewer / Application log, I see MSSoap errors - which according to some of the information I've found so far on the forums seems to point towards a certificate issue. However I installed the certificate manually on the test system and still get his error. Also rejoining the doman has no effect.
    I'm am working in a Windows environment with AD - client workstations are XP Pro.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks.

    We had problems with MS SOAP errors after reinstalling. Our cert didn't match the server name, and we got it working with just adding another cert that did and making sure that all the DNS entries resolved clearly. Forgive me, but it was a few months ago, and I was brand new to the company and product, and my notes aren't the best.
    - Things I Do remember...making sure the cert was there for the client, as it was login specfic. (we finally loaded it with group policy upon login.)
    - I remember using Scenario 2 from Support document 3788192, to check the cert manually.
    - And also Support Document 3594251 had some interesting stuff to check. Specifically the website validations (shieldclient.asmx, policyserver.soap, userservice.asmx, and authenticationhelper.soap). Also in this document was checking Guest or IUSR account rights. These were not correct on our server.
    I think it ended up being multiple problems for us, but for sure those rights made a difference.
    Good luck!

    went through below thread, checked "use network name for computer name" option in failover cluster 2008. It resolved the issue.

  • Best quality .AVI for PC viewing

    How can i export with best quality AVI for PC viewing. HAS to be AVI. I use the expert settings with keyframe of 10 and 100 kb/sec max, and it is very "blocky".. How to improve the quality.

    i created a login just to reply to you cuz i was trying to do the same. i found the answer on: http://www.humnet.ucla.edu/itc/resources/powerpointav/pptvideo.pdf
    basically, use "expert settings" "movie to AVI" "options" "settings" "cinepak" "millions of colors" "high" "30 fps" "key frame every 300 frames" "limit data to 400kbytes/sec"
    following the above instruction, i was able to export a movie to a decent size avi file that plays on wmp on a pc. (i didn't use sound cuz i didn't have any but there is instruction for sound on the pdf file)
    i use a mac but have to create videos that can be viewed on any computer and can be used on a powerpoint presentation. i was so happy when i found a way to make good quality (actually i used "best" rather than "high" under quality), not choppy video for pc and mac viewing.
    hope this helps!
