Publishing H.264 from capture card

Hi,
I know the standard live publishing flow for DVR is:
Capture card (Raw video sample)>>>>>> FMLE >>>>>> FMS
The problem is, the capture card output the video sample as raw format, and the FMLE do the encoding job. It increases the load of the CPU.
What I am thinking is:
Some capture cards do not support DirectShow output filter but it provide a native interface to get the encoded H.264 from the card.
The capture card can encode the video into H.264 by the clips on the card and there is no cost on CPU
then if I can publish the encoded H.264 from card to FMS in my program. that will not increase the CPU load.
Capture card (H.264) >>>>>> my App >>>>>>> FMS
How to send the H.264 frames to FMS?
Open a video channel then send the H.264 frames one by one?
And what client / library should I use?
Adobe RTMP SDK, how much does the lisence cost? my project is just a tiny one and we can't pay much on it.
Then the only choice is Red5 RTMPClient?
THank you

Yes you need to push data to FMS via RTMP - so you would have to use RTMP SDK for it. I dont know much about Red5 client.
As far cost of RTMP SDK is concerned - again i don't have the data , but i can ask someone to get in touch with you if you are really intrested. In that case drop in mail to me at [email protected] with your contact details

Can Flash Player Recognize Video from Capture Cards?

I would like to have Flash Player recognize the input from an Osprey video captue card. Is such a thing possible?

Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed? I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
Thanks,

Capture card plug-in

Hi,
My company has developed a H.264 HD capture card and I would like to support it in Adobe Premiere Elements 8/9 (PE).
I have a few questions that I hope you can help answer :
1.     Which SDK should I use for the plug-in ?
2.     The card supports only compressed streams, meaning it has to be decoded in PE for preview. Is this type of use case supported ?
3.     What type of plug-in/plug-ins will I need to develop ? Are there examples ?
Thanks for any guide.

I was wondering the same thing.
'was just looking around MSDN for you.
Basically you should build a WDM filter. It exposes itself as a DirectShow pin which the user can join to.
For capture that would be your "WDM Filter"-> FileOut Filter
For preview (sorry doesn't look like you can do it at the same time unless there is a "Duplicator filter".. Anyhow for preview you would join the "WDM Filter" -> "h264 Decode Filter" -> "Display Filter".
I also came across this:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsdirectshowdevelopment/thread/6faf85ed-47 2a-4975-89f8-c933624642ed
it is a comment on how Microsoft has a free non-GPL h264 decoder shipped with Win7 and above.
Here is the MPEG2 & MPEG4/h264 Decoder Filter (NOTE it's 32bit only)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd390679(VS.85).aspx
Zac, can you confirm that he should:
     Step 1: make a WDM Filter
     Step 2: use the generic Capture Recoder from Prem PE to attach to the now standard capture device.
Or... does he need to explicitly code for his filter connected to the Win7 h264 Decoder then into Prem PE.
I'm interested to understand how this works. Please keep us up to date with your progress.

Can I capture the video from the TV card or video capture card to publish

Can I capture the video from the TV card or video capture card to publish?
I tried to use the USB camera, it's OK. But, will the TV card or video capture card also work?

Hi,
iChat will set up a Video chat window that takes in to account your Processor speed and Internet Speed and to some extent the Buddy's speed.
This then denotes the pixel content of each frame.
OS X 10.6.x tells me this is iChat 5 which in turn mean you have at least an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
This should be capable of 30 frames a sec at about 640 X 480 pixels (Check the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) and the Statistics tab during a Chat).
iChat 5 cannot do HD (Max of 4:3 ratio at the above figures)
After that it depends how you are recording the chat.
Quicktime X would do it.
iChat will do it itself (if the Buddy agrees)

Urgent: Unable to capture from TV Capture Card

Hello,
I'm Ashish Shukla. I'm writing an application in JMF 2.1.1b using J2SE 1.4.0 on Win32 platform on Intel Celeron 1 GHz processor which captures from the capture device. It works fine on Intel Create & Share CS110 Web Camera. But now, I'm try to capture from the TV Capture Card Pinnacle Studio PCTV TV Capture Card (Composite Video).
But JMF Registry is not able to detect the TV Capture Card (connected alone) & my PC hangs. But, when WebCamera is plugged in, JMF Registry detects it.
When Both WebCamera (USB port) & TV Capture Card are plugged in, then JMF Registry detects only Web Camera.
If anyone can help me resolve the problem. I'm very thankful.
Yours sincerley,
Ashish Shukla
Wah Java!!

Dear friend
I have a similar problem, did you got the answer...
I m trying to get video from the video capture card first from video then for composite then for ..... each port ... but it looks not to be easy ...

What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card. For best quality, which cable should I use?
On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
-5 B-Y OUT
-4 Y OUT
-3-R-Y OUT
-7-R-Y IN
-8-Y IN
-9 B-Y IN
-15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
-10 AES/EBU OUT
-12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
-13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable. On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT).
How should I connect this? Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI?
Any help is much appreciated.

Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300. I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector. I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video. I also read how well BMPro improves image quality. So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be).
Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both. But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter.
I guess I’m wondering what is better quality:
Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
(I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

I am recording from my computer screen with an elgato game capture card. Why is the video blurry when I import it to Premiere elements?

I am recording my computer screen with an elgato game capture card. When I play the unedited footage on my own computer, it is clear and crisp. When I import the footage into premiere elements, it becomes blurry. It becomes even blurrier when I save the edited video. How do I keep the video clear? How do I fix it?

Betharoo
Thanks for the reply.
Please check out John T. Smith's information.
At this point, if you could tell us the file extension of the file involved, that would give us a start while you are
gathering the rest of the details.
You can easily get some information for us from Properties for your imported video that is blurry in the Editor.
1. Click on Expert to get into the Expert workspace of Premiere Elements 13
2. If you have not already, import your file into the program using Add Media/Files & Folder/Project Assets.
3. Open Project Assets to see a thumbnail for the video that you just imported. Right click that thumbnail,
and select and click on Properties from the menu that opens.
4. Tell us what is listed there is Properties - it should look something like this one which is specific for one of my wmv files.
Your information will be specific to the file that you right clicked in your Project Assets.
From what you have written so far, yours should show
Image Size 1920 x 1080
Frame Rate either 59.94 or 60
Also, please go to Edit Menu/Project Settings/General, and tell us what you see for
Editing Mode
Timebase
Frame Size
Pixel Aspect Ratio
even if the fields look grayed out.
Your project settings may be contributing your Edit area previewing problems.
All of the above will keep us moving forward in the troubleshooting.
Thanks.

Can JMF capture audio from sound card?

I want to know if JMF can capture sound/audio from the sound card. Until now we have been capturing audio from microphone. but is there any possibility of capturing audio from sound card using JMF.
The audio captured from the sound card is to be streamed using JMF/RTP API.

Dear seniors,
i have tried to display my audio file as a graph as
x axis being the Time and the y axis beeing the frequency/pitch.
look at this post, i have mentioned all here...
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3073027&#3073027
is it possible to display as i desired?
wht the audio stream has? is it frequency or pitch?...
pls do give me some tips on that...
thanx in advance

Capturing video from added card in a camera?

I'm currently weighting pros and cons on a SONY HDR-PJ430V handycam that has a 32GB internal memory but also an option to add a SDXC (class 10) card up to 64GB.
I'd like to know for those of you who owns, either this cam, or any other AVCHD cam with such an option to add card : can you capture the shots directly from the add-on card, in FCPX, or do you first need to transfer to the internal memory ?
(I was reading a post from someone in another forum stating that it was not possible to transfer from the card to computer - and I wonder if this is ''app-related'' or ''cam/brand'' related... Not being able to transfer directly from the card would sound to me totally stupid and enough to return the camera (assuming other models can do it). - I'm switching from a tape-based (mini DV) cam to save time, not to waste it another way... (For the time being, I experimented only with transfer from internal memory - with FCPX or with the provided SONY software - shots that I can afterward import into FCPX. (Adobe Premiere can't even see the cam yet for a reason I ignore...)
Thanks,
Rob

You can import directly from the card, either from the camera or a card reader.
it was not possible to transfer from the card to computer
That's incorrect.

Capture from Betacam Deck to Mac Book Pro -- Capture Card?

Okay, mobile editors, now's your chance. I have a client that wants to be able to capture from a Betacam SP or SX deck directly into his Mac Book on location. Are there any 3rd party cards that have component/composite (a la a Kona card for a tower) that slots into a Mac Book Pro? or even a PCMCIA card for a Powerbook G4.
We realize the ioHD is coming out, as well as the AJA io which would work, but we are looking for something smaller that travels better.
My thanks for any insight.
dj

There aren't any capture cards that will serve that purpose.
The AJA IoLA will probably be your smallest bet, if you want to capture Uncompressed (which also raises the question, what drive will you be capturing your media to?). It's a pretty small unit. The Io is full rack width, but the IoLA and IoLD are half rack wide.
If you're capturing down to DV resolution, there are numerous capture devices that will convert any analog composite signal to DV resolution and send it to your computer via FW.
I'd personally use the AJA IoLA. Oh, and I do personally use the IoLA. Rock solid.

Streaming multiple streams from multiple capture cards at the same time

Hi All,
I have 2 the same capture card. And I am trying to stream to 2 diffrent rtmp server. I start first one and no problem. But when I run second FME instance and select second stream card, first one turns to black and second one shows up. When I close second, first one again comes back.
What shoul I do for streaming multiple streams form multiple stream cards?
Best regards.

They are, yes, but I'm also working with multitrack sessions using clips made from various different sound files.
Ahh ok, use markers?
So, this sort of thing isn't possible in multitrack mode then?
If not, it sounds I'll have to "mix down" my multitrack session into a single file and set up the markers in Waveform Edit view.
That's an extra step I'd have to do, and after editing the multitrack session, surely some markers . . . oh wait, no . . . every time I output the new mix down file from the multitrack I'd need to redo all the markers. Drat . . .
Honestly, I am very new to Audition, but I'm about to plow into it, big-time, and I'm hoping for a nice non-destructive and fast workflow that'll enable me to output sets of sounds from the same multitrack session.
But, it seems like this functionality is currently missing.

Capture offline from p2 cards

I still usually work with DV format, but today I received three p2 cards and as I am with little space in my hard disk,I was wondering if I can work offline with this media.Is it possible capture offline
directly from p2 cards and later back to online? how????

Depends. AVCIntra P2 or DVCPRO HD P2? AVCIntra can be transcoded to ProRes Proxy. DVCPRO HD cannot, it comes in native only.
If I were you, I'd get another hard drive. They are cheap. The cost of doing business.

QT Broadaster from Blackmagic capture card?

Can QuickTime Broadcaster take input from Blackmagic's
capture card? Also, can Broadcaster work as an encoder
source to Real's Helix server?
Thank you,
Mike

Not if you are limited to sending back out HDV. The reconforming process is slow (as you have experienced).
in the for what it's worth category, this is why it's takes time.
Sony's version of HDV is formated into a 15 frame GOP (group of pictures). Simply put, this means there is one full frame (I frame) then 14 frames that reference the differences to the full frame. These reference frames do not contain full information and only make sense when compared to the last I frame and any intervening frames.
When you make a cut in this GOP, the chances are you are NOT editing on an I frame, you are cutting somewhere between them. This means FCP must generate an internal I frame at that point. As you can imagine this is an editing nightmare. That FCP gets it to work is truely a bit of wizardry.
When you are all done, FCP must re-conform the the footage, that is, generate a continuous 15 frame GOP structure from the beginning of the footage. Some I frames become reference frames and new I frames must be generated in the correct pattern. This is very computationally intensive and is totally dependent on processor speed.
So, If you want to speed up output to HDV, get a faster machine.
good luck,
x

Loading video from a TV capture card

Hi, I'm usig the Camera Class (AS3) to load the input of a
webcam into a video object. However what I really want is to load
the input of a video capture card. This video source is indeed
listed together with the webcam, however, when I select it, the
video becomes blank. Is there a way to solve this?

Thanks for the warning.
I also have a Mac with a tower with one slot that accommodates large and small DVD's. It's a Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5. It's run by Mac OS X 10.4.11.
I put the small DVD in there and I got a message that said it could not read the DVD. Can some setting be changed so the DVD can be read? Are those camcorder DVD's recorded in a completely different format? When I put the small DVD in a DVD player it would not play either.
