Problems for encoding videos

Hello,
I have problems with videos.
I have 2 videos (face and profil) in high definition - HD, which have not the same duration and the same size.
They are cut in final Cut Express HD. After cutting, they have the same duration (for example : 20'10) and not the same size.
When I compress them with Compressor or Cleaner 6, the both videos have NOT the same size at the end. I use the same ajustements for the 2 videos.
DVD Studio Pro refuse the 2 videos because they have not the same size !
This problems appears also on another MAC (MAC G5 bipro).
I want to know how I cant resolve the problem ? Is it a problem with compression ?
I have tested with 2 videos (MPEG2) from another project (same size and samed length).
I have compressed with compressor and Cleaner and them have not the same size after compressing !
There is a problem with compressing and not with the source.
I need to have 2 videos (angle) to put in DVD Studio Pro 4.
Thank you for helping me.
Best regards.

On a side note, I find it irksome that people are still calling HD video in the states NTSC. Technically, it's ATSC. Companies like Adobe really should know better.
Well, they did put the correct preset name of 30i for AVCHD. Maybe they'll get the ATSC thing right in CS5.

[E71 on Linux] Best settings for encoding video?

Hello all,
I have an E71 and I would like to encode videos on my Linux box for it.
I have a script for that, using MPlayer's MEncode. I'd like to know what are the best settings, i.e.: Resolution, Video Bit rate, Audio Bit rate and Codec / file format.
Also, what is the best video player out there for the Symbian 9.1 3rd., preferably a freeware app...
I have DivX Mobile installed and the built-in Real Player (very poor quality playback - maybe because incorrect encoding?)
Thanks!

Enough of the data you need is most likely on these two pages:

Audio problems for online videos played with HDMI hookup

I have a pavilion dv4 1155se notebook with vista os, and i have been having some sound problems when i hook my computer up to my hdtv. my knowledge about computers is fairly limited so bear with me please. whenever i hook my notebook up to my tv (using hdmi) to play online videos the sound will only come out of the speakers on my laptop, not the tv. the sound comes through the tv's speakers for everything else (music, games, etc) and it used to work for the online videos but the last couple times i've hooked my laptop up the sound only comes out of the notebooks speakers. the digital output device is enabled like it should be, it's just this one thing that is not working right. if anyone could help me out with this i would really appreciate it.

Re-export the .mov using QT Pro's iPod preset. If you song is in there, it will play. Make sure that 'Make Self Contained' is checked.

Problems with encoded videos

I tried converting movies with Videora iPod Converter, and converted videos cannot be added to iTUnes library.
I used different profiles, set framerate to 29,97, tried both MPEG-4 and H264 formats.
Dragging converted videos to iTunes with '+' symbol next to mouse arrow has no effect, 'Add to Library' option in File menu has no effect.
What could be the cause of this problem? I think that videos are converted in proper format - I used different profiles and even tried some suggested changes, like setting the output framerate manually.
Thank you.
Windows XP

The problem seems to be with long videos, as music videos are always recongnized by iTunes, and none of the movies I converted were recognized yet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Settings Problem for Streaming Video/Audio

I tried to watch the new OS 10.5 Panther. I receive the audio, but there is no video to watch. Can someone perhaps suggest a solution to being able to listen and watch the new system info.

Can you watch the movie trailers on the QuickTime site? If so, have you tried setting the Transport Setup: Custom>HTTP>Port ID 80 in the Advanced QuickTime System Preferences?

A watch directory for encoding videos

I was wondering what would be the best way to go about making a watch directory routine in bash. Essentially i want a bash script to watch a directory and when a file is added it will automatically encode using ffmpeg and x264? Are there any external utilities to help with this function?

I just found mencoder doesn't utilise the cores properly when deinterlacing and piping to x264 I got better performance. I'll look into incron tomk, thank you so much.

Big problems exporting a video in Media Encoder - detailed info

Problems with exporting media through Adobe Media Encoder.
Hi there. I am really confused now, writing this, cause my Premiere CS4 has worked pretty good the year I have had it.
So it has chosen a really bad timing to cause me problems.
I am working on a big musicvideo production. The whole video is now finished, and the labels and the artists are waiting for the video. But I’m facing big problems now. And I have tried everything to solve this, without succeeding.
·         When I export the video, the Adobe Media Encoder sometimes waits and waits and waits and waits, and nothing happens.
Screen shot:
·         When it does start, if goes to about 20%, and then it interrupts and give me "an unknown" error in the log-file:
Screen shot:
·         Sometimes when I open the project , it gives me the following message when importing the media files.
Screen shot:
·         The weird thing is that this only happens to the HD version. I have the same video in DV version, in a DV project, and it exports without any problem.
So PLEASE help me here, what shall I do??? I MUST finish this video!

And here is my log-file with all the attempts I've tried with different settings...

Hello. I have an iPad2, and iMovie software. My main problem, for the moment, is the length of the videos: I can´t create a video with more than 56 seconds. When I try, the app shuts off... Can anyone help me?

Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

QQ International for Mac: Video Chat problem

Hello Communities,
I downloaded the MAC version for QQ International to talk to a cousin of mine who will be working in China. He's had it on his Windows system here in the states for sometime with no problems. I can get the audio part to work, but the video function works sporadically, and it seems only to turn on my camera if I'm the one making the call. What I've read says there is no video chat function for the Mac version, but that's strange given that my camera does come on in the cases I've mentioned. I also then opened up Windows using Parallels, downloaded that version of it, and am having a similar problem. I have since uninstalled the one on my Windows (in parallel) and the Mac one from my Mac. There is an update for the Mac version of it, but when you click on it, it takes you to the Chinese version of the website, so I didn't proceed further. Anyone have any experience with this and have a fix to make it work?
Regards and Thanks in advance

HI Bassplayuh,
Since I downloaded the last QQ version on Tencent Website, as soon as I am called or I call for a video chat, my QQ crashes.... Tried to get the older version from the App store, but now it is the same.... Anyone got a solution?
Thanks in advance.

1. closing the app and reopen it
2. restart the iPad
3. restore the iPad via iTunes
4. Begging the app to work again.

Encoding Video for DVD?

I want to make a DVD that will play in home players, though I do not need to make a menu using DVD SP. Is there a way to encode video straight from FCP into a file that will play in a DVD player?
Thanks.

This is really a question for the DVDSP forum, but the sum of it is that you use Compressor to encode your video to MPEG2 and your audio to 2 channel Dolby, then import those two files into DVDSP as Assets and drop them into the Timeline in DVDSP.
That will be Track 1, so select the disc in the Outline and in the Inspector, and you should find a drop down menu to make Track 1 the First Play. That's basically it, but I usually do one or two other things.
One: If this is for a trade show, or even a client approval disc, I'll set the Jump To for Track 1 to be Track 1. That will cause it to loop until the user stops it.
Two: I'll create a simple menu with a single PLAY button in the center, and map that button to play Track 1. That way, if the client inadvertently drops out of the play loop and wants to get back into it, s/he can do it by hitting Menu on the remote and pressing Select.
More details on all of this are contained in your Fine Manual.

Output channel mapping problem for surround encoder

vista 64 bit
sound blaster titanium x-fi sound card
logitech 5.1 speaker set up
hello, i am trying to mix a movie i made into 5.1. when i open the surround encoder, go to the audio hardware setup and try to set my output channel mapping i only get two speakers. i have a card that supports 5.1, 5.1 speakers, and get surround sound when i play a DVD. yet audition only recognizes my left and right speaker. any help on how i get my output channel mapping set correctly?
thanks in advance!

Thank you for the info, though I admit I'm still a bit confused.
My card is a creative x-fi extreme gamer. It has 3 line out jacks and one line in jack. T Oh, here it is in the manual...thats just not good enough.
But what is the surround encoder dialog box doing, if not encoding surround mixes? The manual says I can exportsurround sound from a multitrack session.

Best setting for encoding flv video?

What is the best, most universally accepted setting for encoding flv videos to be viewed over cable modem access?

I completely understand.
For print work, I did a lot of that with either Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy in Photoshop. Then, they added Layer Comps, and that cut down on the work, but allowed me to have several "treatments."
Have not used that in PrPro though. I see the usefulness of the feature though.
Yeah, clients are fond of saying, "really appreciate you following all of my ideas, but I think I like what you had last week better... Can we go with it, but with these few extra changes?" Happens all too frequently. Lot easier now, than back in the old days, when one painted the cyc, set up the shot, and lit it, only to have the AD change the color of the cyc. When done, they'd often say, "liked that original color better. Let's tear it all down and re-paint to that." Now, I just change the color of the background digitally - a lot less painting!!!"
Thanks for that tip,

Best Mac for fast video encoding?

Wondering which Mac may be the best choice for fast (at at least faster) encoding of video files and creation of disc image and then burning a dvd disc. I'm doing home videos with my digital camera, about 50 minutes long.
On my Dual 1ghz G4 PM, it seems to take forever, maybe 6-8 hours. Anyone know or can quess how long it takes for the new iMac Core 2 duo versus a low end Mac Pro?

on my antiqué hard/software (450Mega!Hz, 1GB RAM, 10.3.) combo, iDVD encoding needs 8 - 10x of the length of project... (1h project= 8h encoding)
sooo, to improve speed:
* make sure, you're within specs of iApps - avoid compressed material, stay with .DV encoded video, .aiff encoded audio, .pic encoded stills...
* make sure, you have at last 10 - 15GB free on internal drive (ext. doesn't matter for this issue)
* make sure, all project data are located on internal drive
* … if not, make sure ext. drive is firewire connected and formatted to "MacOsExtended/hfs"...
* avoid other CPU/harddrive consuming tasks, as ripping CDs, rendering 4D animations, Spotlight indexing...
I've seen überMacs, Intel quads/4GBRam, encoding in less then realtime...
if you don't need fancy iDVD menus, playout movie (=realtime...) to some DVD/Harddrive standalone as from Pioneer (<<link to commercial website!), my 520 does the (hardware accelerated) encoding/burning of 1h video in about 5-10minutes...
