Recording high quality video using a local buffer with FMS 3.5

Hello, I'm currently working on a webcam recorder to record high quality video. I had the recorder working before, but the video quality was quite poor. Instead I'm trying to use a client side buffer and then upload the buffer after recording has stopped. I thought after I unattached the video and audio from the NetStream that either a NetStream.Buffer.Empty or NetStream.Record.Stop event would be sent when the buffer was finished uploading. What is actually happening after I start recording is two NetStream.Record.Stop events are being sent in a row, so recording never really happens. Also, on the server side I'm trying to save a user name and password into a variable, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that since the application script is just a bunch of callback functions. I hope someone has done something similar so they might be able to help...

Here is the client application; it's quite messy because I'm just testing things at the moment, but the functions causing the problem are probably onNetStatus, recordButton_clickHandler, and stopRecButton_clickHandler.

Here is the server-side application, as you can see I commented out the variables and the code using them.

I hope my code isn't unreadable. Ask me to clarify anything if you don't understand the code. Thank you.

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

Video Capabilities -- Confirming Current Limitations (Record + Higher Quality Than Sorenson)

Hi,
Regarding video with Cocomo, I writing to confirm that the
current version does not provide the following two capabilities:
Recording. Acrobat Connect Pro includes record capability.
Am I correct that at this time Cocomo does not (yet) include record
capability?
Video Encoding. Am I correct that at this time Cocomo
supports only Sorenson Spark for acquisition of live video?
(Background: I have two clients seeking integrated video and text
chat applications with higher quality video for the primary
presenter. Flash Player supports playback of video encoded in
Sorenson Spark, On2 VP6, and H.264. For encoding of live video,
Flash Player (and by extension Cocomo) encodes only Sorenson Spark.
Adobe does, however, also support via the Flash Media Live Encoder
(FMLE) live encoding using VP6 and H.264. I assume that Cocomo
currently does not support integration with FMLE or any other
option for higher quality live video acquisition)
Thanks again for your support and this great new
product/service.
I look forward to Cocomo having its official commercial
release here in 2009! :-)
Best regards,
g

Hi Nigel,
Thank you for your reply.
Regarding the use cases ...
1) Union For Regular Member Meetings.
2) Pharmaceutical Training.
The first has looked at Connect Pro and the second currently
is using Connect Pro. Both cases seek both a higher quality video
for the presenter as well as to be able to record (for archive and
for "re-airing" by those unable to join live).
Regarding additional encoder in the presenter's "Player", I
think if just AIR could encode H.264 these client's use cases would
be satisfied. (These clients' goal on video quality fits a
1-to-many pattern. Requiring the presenter only to install AIR
seems a reasonably unobtrusive solution. Then, should attendee
video also be required, Sorenson via Flash Player should suffice.)
For both clients, having the hosted service from Adobe is
also an attraction (depending on pricing ;-)
Again, thanks for the great work of your team and everyone at
Adobe for bringing these solutions to the market.
Best regards,
g

HT3395 What are some camcorders that are compabtible with the mac book pro and also records high quality youtube videos?

What are some camcorders that are compabtible with the mac book pro and also records high quality youtube videos?

any camcorder using AVCHD…

Importing high quality video through a lower-quality camera

(Final Cut 5 in a G5, 10.5.8)
The camcorder I'm using to shoot video for my Final Cut projects is a Panasonic PV-GS400, a good 3-chip mini-DV camcorder that shoots high-quality DV (original price $1500).
I would prefer not to use this camera to play the video into Final Cut, to save wear and tear on its tape drive (with tape, of course, one hour of recorded video takes one hour to play into Final Cut).
I have an inexpensive little Canon Elura 100 Mini-DV camcorder (original price $400) that could be used to play the tapes from the Panasonic into Final Cut, but if I did that, would the higher quality of the Panasonic's video be degraded to the lower level of the Canon's video when passing through?
To put it another way, can a Mini-DV tape with high quality video on it be imported through a relatively low-quality camera into Final Cut and still retain its high quality?
Thanks for any help.
Tom

Thanks much, guys. Yes, I'm using firewire. Glad to hear there's no loss of quality when the video is strained through a lesser camcorder on its way into Final Cut.
So now I'll go ahead and use the little Canon Elura as my playback/ingest camera with no worries.
I appreciate the help!

How to export a complex Keynote to high quality video for DVD?

I have had dozens of attempts to turn a complex Keynote into a high quality video.
Either they turn out disappointiingly way low res
or they are very choppy with half the transitions gone
or they Cannot make the video at all
HELP.
I need to turn this project in to my client today.

If you use the DVD export in Keynote 3 with a self playing movie, the quality will be fine...just don't trust what you see on your mac screen, play it on a DVD player to check the quality. I did a test a while back and it was only the pauses that looked bad.
Read about it here:
http://www.keynoteuser.com/news/?p=135
pay close attention to what I complain about...it's just the slide pauses, not the normal motion playback, which means selfplaying stuff looks pretty decent (though never as good as the original, but that's the fault of the DVD format, not Apple).

IPhone High Quality Video Formats?

In our app we need to run a video that is high quality. Higher quality than the settings that quicktime pro presets output at. Does anyone know of what format settings I can use to export a high quality video to play?

I use 15 fps, because it looks better when used or converted into flash. If you just try uploading 30fps & 15 fps of the same file on youtube, you will see a change of the quality of the video.
I have never used the broadband settings for the FCP compressor .. But I will try it out.
my bad for the bump.
and I know that there are tons of post like this, but I was trying not to get this post into a huge discussion. I was just trying to get people to just post their specs just like I have. Then we could have 1 post that answered all the questions of the specs of what people use & then people wouldn't have to search through everything..

FCE export settings for higher quality video

Hello. I'm a self-schooled newspaper video features producer and relative newcomer to Final Cut Express, shifting from Premium Elements. I've just begun using it to upload videos to my newspaper's finicky web system, which will only accept .flv files of a certain size. My modus operandi has been to export my videos as large .avi files, using Quicktime conversion and DV/DVCPRO/NTSC, with medium quality, with 16 bit sound set at 32 Khz. Then I run that .avi through the Adobe Flash Media Encoder with a frame rate of 15 fps, deinterlacing and resizing the screen to 640 by 480. This procedure (outlined by our former video editor) produces serviceable web quality video (You can see video that results from using these settings at http://wvgazette.com/multimedia). So, two questions: 1) I have created an 8-minute FCE music video for my band and wish to export it at a higher quality (for use on Vimeo) than these newspaper settings. Which of them do I change so that a higher quality video results without waiting all night for a massive file to upload? 2) And wthere might I turn for guidance on better understanding the Sanskrit of FCE video export settings for newbies? Thanks for any help.

The simplest way to produce good quality video for the internet is:-
1. File>Export Using QT Conversion.
2. The "Format" window should say, "QT Movie".
3. In "Use" select "LAN/Intranet" from the dropdown menu.
4. Click "Save" and when it has finished encoding, upload it.
Do not mess about altering audio settings, frame rates etc.
Using the above settings an 8 minute video would be encoded in around 20 minutes (depending on computer speed) and would be well under 100MB.
Is that too big?

Best Settings for YouTube's HIgh Quality Video

I see YouTube has a new "high quality" video option that uses H.264 video at 480 x 360. If I want to take full advantade of this format how should I build my videoo to upload? I assume I should use H.264, but Premiere doesn't have an option to do so at 480x360.

After numerous trials and extensive searches on forums (with solutions way too complicated for me) this is my recipe.
(After upgrading to PE 7 I hoped that PE would do the trick, but no.)
1. Premiere Elements.
Export ("Share") to harddisk, DV-AVI, 4:3 or Widescreen doesn't matter.
2. Windows Movie Maker.
Import this AVI-file. You won't need to change or edit anything.
Just "publish" (to disk) in
WMV-format, dvd-quality (4:3 size) PAL 3,0 M.
3. You Tube.
Upload to YouTube.
Then wait (approx 10 min. per minute movietime) until the uploaded movie is released and online in high quality.
Happy uploading!
Max size is 100 Mb; but there are work arounds for that too.

Can the MacBook Pro 15" Retina with 2.0 GHz processor handle editing high-quality videos?

Will the 2.0 GHz processor version be able to handle editing/exporting high-quality videos?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The processor can handle HD video editing without any issue, but the problem comes with the GPU, the Intel Iris Pro GPU.
That GPU is a bit better than the Intel Iris GPU included in the 13-inch MacBook Pro, but it is still not good enough for serious video editing. If you make videos as a hobby or it is not an important task for you, the MacBook Pro with the Intel Iris Pro GPU may be enough, because it works with HD vide editing. However, if you need the best performance, you need to go for the most expensive MacBook Pro, that comes with a NVIDIA GPU

Will ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G?

Will there be improved video quality on youtube and other video streaming on 4G compared to existing 3G connctions? The ipad appears to dumb down video streaming in 3G compared to streaming the same thing on wifi. It is often highly pixelated and blocky, Will the new ipad allow higher quality video streaming over 4G, i.e. the same quality as wi-fi?

The YouTube app is made by Google. Any suggestions you have about that app should be directed to them.

Quicktime Screen Recording - Higher quality missing

Everywhere I've read that Quicktime screen recording has a medium and a higher quality setting, but when I try to do a screen recording, it doesn't give me any quality options. It just has options for the microphone. See the attached photo.
How can I get it to give me an option for high quality screen recording? The default seems to be lower quality, which I can't use. Thanks in advance for any help!!

I have the same question, and have looked at the answers here. I am not trying to answer your question, just add to it.
I have used snapz pro x and find that I like that way quicktime displays whats on your screen with the same amount of lag that will be in the finished video, while snapz does not. surely there is a way, deep in preferences or maybe even in terminal, that will enable me to take higher quality images in my screen recordings. I find the audio is fine but the image is what I have a problem with. I dont have the 100+ dollars to spend on other screen recording software, and would really appreciate some help.
thanks,

How can I get high quality video that will play on my Touch as well as ATV?

Within iMovie there are output settings for the iPod and for the Apple TV. Now I fully understand the video resolution restrictions of the iPod Touch, so I am happy using a widescreen resolution of 640x360 ("Medium" output setting). What I am not happy about is the quality of the Medium setting, which iMovie states is 1.7Mbps. The results are rather blocky to say the least. In comparison, I can output the same movie as "Large", with a res of 960x540 and a bitrate of 4Mbps, and it comes out a little soft, but the blocky artefacts have all but vanished. Unfortunately, of course, the iPod Touch won't play a video with this resolution. I have tried "Export using Quicktime" and can get good quality results. However, the video (although H.264 and 640x360) ends up NOT being compatible with my iPod Touch.
Basically, how can I output a video of 640x360 that is of the quality I want, and that also plays on my iPod Touch? If the "Export using Quicktime" can be used to achieve this, what are the settings to use?
Thanks.

But why shouldn't I be able to have one video to suit both. I am happy with the resolution of 640x360, even on my ATV.
You can. Unfortunately, your desire for both a data rate greater than 1.7 Mbps (H.264/AAC compression) and the ability to play them on an iPhone/Touch/iPod is mutually exclusive at this time. Thus, you will either have to make different files targeted for different data rates for maximum quality on each device or you make a single file using the maximum allowed data rate for playback on the "slower" device and accept the quality it produces on whichever device you are currently using. If all you want is a higher data rate, use the MPEG4 Simple Profile which allows data rates up to 2.5 Mbps. Just remember that the H.264 codec is about 2.0-2.5 times as efficient and is roughly equivalent to an MPEG-4 Simple Profile file with video encoded at 3.00-3.75 Mbps.
