Please help me with export settings and format

I'll try to explain my problem the best I can. I recently captured some footage from old VHS tapes to use in a Christmas video. I imported one of the MPGs that I captured to AE and applied a grain removal plus a couple other lighting effects to the video to improve the quality as well as I could. When I went to export it (through the render que) I found myself confronted with a huge amount of format options and after doing some reading online thought a Quicktime .MOV file with Photo JPEG compression would give me a reasonable size video but after doing the math (an a bit of the rendering) realized that my 2 hour video, that was originally only around 6GB was being converted into a .MOV file that was around 80GB, which is too large for my HDD. Now, I would love to go out and purchase a 1TB SSD right now but I can't currently afford it. I need to end up with a file as close to the original file size as possible but with the grain removed, and the highest quality (for the file size) and just need to know the best settings to use to accomplish that. I looked around for several hours and couldn't find a quick and easy answer like "just export a MPEG 2 file" with ..... settings. The file is going to be imported into Premiere for final edit with several others that are probably going to need the same adjustments. It will then be exported to a 1080p BluRay (with an HD photo slideshow). Also I am using Production Premium CS4, if that makes any difference.
Any quick tips about the grain removal effect would be greatly appreciated as well. I'm currently using a removal amount of .8 with the effect running 6 passes. I also changed the texture setting under "fine tuning" to .4. It's a little blury but MUCH better than grainy, and about as good as I can expect from a 25 year old VHS. If you've used this effect before and know a couple little tweaks I could apply to make the video a little sharper (without the grain) that would be amazing.
Thanks in advance.

The file size is defined by bitrate. The winners among production codecs regard to 'quality / render time / file size' ratio, DNxHD and ProRes, utilise almost identical bitrate: up to 440 Mbps while encoding with 4:4:4 colour subsampling and up to 220 Mbps while encoding to 4:2:2. Do some math, and you'll end up with 90-200 GB/hour.
So, the only option to save on disk space is to utilise highly compressed codec like H.264. With target bitrate set to 100 Mbps (you can set the bitrate in the Export Settings dialog) the quality loss might look affordable (don't remember if you can encode to Level 5 on CS4 though).
If you eventually choose H.264 (working with which on CS4 might in turn result in a nightmare), do not export to H.264 from AE directly. Export to H.264 via AME...

Please please help trouble with exported quality

please please help me> i have been searching the net for over 3 hrs for a solution and whatever I have found has been a little too technical for me . I am uploading video to i movie from a disk. the file types on the disk are mp4. I am then editing the clips on iMovie '09 when I go to export the movie I am chosing to export movie as a "large" 960x540
.mov file. The quality ***...it is blurry and grainy and unusable. Someone in another forum told me to run the mp4 movie in quicktime and tell them what movie inspector says about the clip. Movie inspector says:
Formatt: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 640 × 480, Millions
FPS: 29.97
Playing FPS: 30
Data size 129 MB
Data Rate: 1504.39 kbits/s
Size 640 x 480
I am dying over here any help please? and thank you all so much

once I share to the media browser where does it go? cant find it.
It's "hidden" in your user folder Movies>iMovie Projects. Right-click (Control-click) on the name of your Project and select "Show Package Contents". In the folder named Movies you will see your exported file. It could be either a .m4v or .mov file, or possibly another type, depending on whether standard definition or high definition and the size option chosen when exported. If you are producing a DVD, you drag the file from iDVD's Media-Movies pane onto the Theme background.
Also, when sharing to the media browser I can only save it as "medium" quality...the other choices arent available?
Then AppleMan's earlier advice will be correct (as always) - he recommended using the Medium setting based on your QuickTime details. It appears that your original MP4 video has an aspect ratio of 4:3, unless your Project settings are incorrect. You set the dimensions (standard 4:3, widescreen 16:9 or iPhone 3:2) of the project in File>Project Properties then selecting the General tab.
In iMovie '09, I've mainly worked with AVCHD video which produces .MTS files that are converted to AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec) on import. This is high definition footage which iMovie can import as 1920 x 1080 or 960 x 540 (both widescreen 16:9). Hence, on export I can share at Large (960 x 540) or HD (1280 x 720). I'm not sure why you are only seeing a Medium option - could be due to the aspect ratio or maybe it's standard definition in MP4 format (just guessing!). If other options are greyed out, have you tried ticking the boxes - that activates each option for me.

Please help me with my settings, they arn't workin...

Please help me with my projectiles and angles program!!!!

I am having problems lining things up correctly. my program generates a table telling you how far an object will travel based upon its angle and its velocity. the chart has the angles along the top and the velocites down the side. default angles are 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 and default velocities are 20,40,60,80,100. I need the user to be able to enter the smallest angle, the angle increment, and the total number of angles.
My problem is for exmaple if i enter the smallest angle as 20, increment as 5, and total number as 4 it will display the correct calculations but the angles on the top will not line up. It will display angles 0,5,10,15 when its suppose to be showing 20,25,30,35. Anyone know how to fix this?
Also i need the user to be able to enter the minimum initial velocity, maximum initial velocity, and the number of equally spaced initial velocities. for example if the user enter smallest velocity 10, largest velocity 30, and total number 5 it should display the distances for initial velocities 10,15,20,25,30. Any ideas on that one? I will post my code below. Thanks again for any help you can provide!!
import java.util.*;
public class test
/** Main Method**/
     public static void main(String[] args)
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
          int smallestAngle, increment, totalAngles,angleDegree = 0, velocity = 0;
          double answer = 0;
          System.out.print("Please enter the smallest angle: ");
          smallestAngle = sc.nextInt();
          System.out.print("Please enter the increment: ");
          increment = sc.nextInt();
          System.out.print("Please enter the total number of angles: ");
          totalAngles = sc.nextInt();
          for(int i = 0; i < totalAngles; i++)
               System.out.print("\t" + (angleDegree + (increment * i)));
          for(int i = 0; i < (totalAngles * 5); i++)
               if((i % totalAngles) == 0)
                    angleDegree = smallestAngle;
                    velocity += 20;
                    System.out.print("\n" + velocity);
               answer = Math.round((Math.pow(velocity, 2) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(angleDegree)) * Math.sin(Math.toRadians(angleDegree))) / 32);
               System.out.print("\t" + answer);
               angleDegree += increment;
          System.out.println("\n\n");
}

Ok i re wrote my code another way hoping it would help solve things. My prob now is that it will only display the correct degree headings and not produce any form of calculation. I need to find a way for the user to enter the minimum initial velocity they want, the maximum initial velocity they want, and finally the number of equally spaced equally initial velocities. After this I need the program to produce the table with the calcuations. MY CODE SO FAR IS POSTED BELOW!! PLEASE PROVIDE SOME CODE OR INSIGHT TO FIX MY PROBLEM!! :-) THANKS!

Please help me with this - IE and Reports

Including an Oracle reporting Activex Control in a commonly Html file for Internet Explorer it works fine (generate the report) but it does'nt generate the events (BeforeRunReport,AfterRunReport).
I mention that in other development tools (Visual C++,VB,Devloper6,...) It is OK.
Example code :
<OBJECT ID="XREP" CLASSID="CLSID:289D6F9F-2A7D-11CF-AD05-0020AF0BA9E2">
<PARAM NAME="ReportName" VALUE="d:\temp\test.rep">
<PARAM NAME="OutputDestination" VALUE="2">
<PARAM NAME="OutputName" VALUE="d:\temp\test1.htm">
<PARAM NAME="DatabaseUser" VALUE="adi/adi@adi">
<PARAM NAME="OutputDriver" VALUE="HTMLCSSIE">
</OBJECT>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript">

</SCRIPT>
Please tell me what it is wrong in this code because the events "BeforeRunReport","AfterRunReport" does not fire at all.I'm interested only for a solution using Oracle Reporting ActiveX Control and VBScript.

I am brand new to the camera I have but been using FCP for 6 years. The camera is a Panasonic HMC150 that records in the AVCHD codec. I have an Intel Imac 20 2.4 Ghz 4 gigs of ram. My audio/video settings for the sequence in FCP are as follows:
Sequence pre set: Apple pro Res 422 1920-1080 60i 48khz (footage is 1080 60i)
I Log and Transfer with no problem, edit no problem.
My question is when I go to export the finished sequence to Idvd or DSP, what settings do I use?
I have exported to quicktime movie file with "current settings" and I have had NO luck in compleely burning a DVD. Is this the correct setting? what is everyone else using? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

DVD is standard definition. You have to compress your HD material to SD first. Crack open the manual for Compressor or DVDSP and you'll get loads of valuable info. The first 30 or so pages of the DVDSP manual are quite informative, and easy to read.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The file is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!

Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8. Please help me with any suggestions on what to do. Thank you.

HELP!!!! My Hotmail no longer works with Safari v. 5.0.6 and my Imac Leopard operating system 10.5.8. Please help me with any suggestions on what to do. Thank you. I cannot find any new downloads for Safari that work with Leopard. The newest ones only work with Lion. My Firefox browser still works though but I would rather use Safari and cannot access any e-mails or send any e-mails via Safari. This happened about 3 weeks ago and I thought it was just a glitch on Hotmail's site. Now I realize Hotmail must have released an update that no longer works with Leopard 10.5.8. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks to anyone and everyone who reads this and attempts to help me. I do not know what to do....

Hi Sue,
What exactly happens when trying Safari?
They did change it to Outlook recently, but while not pretty, I can access mine with Safari 4.0 still...
You can also set it up in Mail so you don't need a browser at all if you want.
