Setting hinting for H.264 MP4 files? Possible?

I want to stream H.264 MP4 files for my online media class. Before with QT files, I set the hinting so the video loads and plays immediately. With H.264 MP4 files, end users have to download the entire file before it plays back in the browser.
I searched under the various H.264 settings but have failed to discover where I can set the hinting/progressive download option.
Can anyone help me with this?

FCP recognizes some h.264 mp4 files but not others

I'm having a particularly frustrating experience with Final Cut Pro 7 at the moment. I've been working on a project for a while now, and I've been importing and cutting with mp4 files that are in h.264 codec with AAC audio. It's been working just fine for a long time now.
Now, I have three more video files to import into the project. They are THE EXACT SAME format: mp4, h.264 codec with AAC audio. Data rate is pretty much the same. Technically, everything I can see about them, format-wise, is exactly the same.
It's not recognizing them. I get "File Error: Unknown File".
I've tried playing them in multiple players. Quicktime, Quicktime 7, VLC... they all work just fine. The inspector in Quicktime tells me the EXACT SAME format information as the files that are importing just fine.
Can someone PLEASE shed light on what the **** is going on here? Why are all the rest of h.264/AAC/mp4 files that I'm importing working just fine while these three are not? I've looked at their logging/format information... it's all exactly the same. There's no perceivable reason that I can find why Final Cut is singling out these three files not to recognize. I thought maybe something had changed with Final Cut and it no longer works with h.264 or mp4 or whatever... but all the other files I already imported are still working just fine. And I can still re-import them just fine. So it can't be that FCP just doesn't recognize MP4 or H.264 or AAC, because it's recognizing it just fine with all the other files. Again, they're all in the EXACT SAME format!
And yes, I've tried re-coverting these files. I've converted them using different programs. They always end up working fine for playing in all the players I have, but when I go to import them into Final Cut, suddenly they ain't working. I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why and I'm completely clueless.
Has this happened to anybody else and what did you do? I know I can just try converting them to another format, like ProRes or Apple Intermediate... but that would take up more space on my computer... plus, it's just the mystery of the situation that's really getting to me right now. I want to know WHY it's not working! For the life of me, it doesn't make any sense.
Also: I thought it might have something to do with Perian. I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Perian. Since I did that, Perian hasn't been working very well. Quicktime doesn't play the audio in mkv files, for example.
But if Perian not working is preventing FCP from recognizing THESE mp4/h.264/aac files, then why are the rest of the mp4/h.264/aac files still working just fine? Again, it just doesn't make any sense to me. It's like FCP got picked on by these three files and is holding a grudge.

I know h.264 is not ideal. And you're right, I have had issues with sync on export and such that I've had to deal with. But it still worked. I was able to import and edit with the files, despite having some glitches along the way.
Now it's just plain not importing. And I have no idea what changed. Final Cut didn't change. It's still importing all the files it likes just fine. They're mp4/h.264/aac, and they import. These three files that aren't importing are the SAME format, but Final Cut doesn't like them for some reason. I would love to know what that reason could possibly be. What could possibly make one mp4/h.264/aac file import, but another one not?
JUST talking about importing. Not editing or exporting.

Playstation 3 compressor settings for h.264/mp4 and avchd and 5.1 audio

Hello this is my first post on this forum. I am a cameraman by trade, but do a lot of editing. I am pretty good on an Avid and with color correction software, but since I sold my sony f900 and picked up a couple or RED cameras - I was forced to hop on the FCP studio2 wagon. So I apologize for the newbie questions.
I have a PS3 and not a PSP. I find more and more clients have a PS3 for their media and blu-ray... etc. So my question is what are the settings for compressor to encode for the PS3 and there ever so nit picky and poorly documented parameters.
There are plenty of non-pro answers, but I have searched high and low for what they need specifically. I see lots of questions but now answers.
So how can I take my final cut footage or any video file for that matter, and put it into something that my PS3 can chew? What are the H.264 (mpeg4) settings?
Can I also (but not exclusively) encode in AVCHD from compressor?
Lastly is there a way to put on the 5.1 or surround info into these files for PS3 playback? if I want to take one of my work DVD's (reel, projects, etc) and put it on the PS3 or bring in surround encoded (5.1, 6.1, 7.1) tracks into FCP and put it with my footage?
Thanks for any and all help...
the only vaguely technical info I have found was on the PS3 forum, here is what it says:
from:
http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3media&mess age.id=22987&query.id=96226#M22987
For those of you who want to put .MP4 videos on a PS3 with a Macintosh, this is how you do it with ffmpegx.
VIDEO
- X264 Encoding
- framesize can be any
- framerate can be any
AUDIO
- any MP3 or AAC track
OPTIONS
- Use CABAC on
- Constant bitrate on
- Trellis on
- Decode with Quicktime (not always necessary but if your picture is out of sync with audio, try this)
- AVC level 3.0
This produces a good .MP4 file that the PS3 will happily play.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction? if not can we figure it out on this thread? there are a lot of questions I find when I google this subject out there - so a lot of people would be happy to find the answer.

I have created files to play on PS3, and the secret is to use MPEG Streamclip. You can encode to whatever you want in MPEG2 or MPEG4, then open that bad boy in MPEG Streamclip:
If it's MPEG2, File > convert to TS
If it's MPEG4: File > Save As MP4
That's it. MPEG Streamclip doesn't re-encode so no quality loss. All it does is change the container. And PS3 is very picky about containers.
As for 5.1 audio, you can do this by encoding separate MPEG2 video and AC3 audio files like you normally would for a DVD. For hi-def MPEG2, use one of the Compressor presets for HD-DVD. Make sure they both have the same name ("xxx.m2v" and "xxx.ac3", for instance) and are in the same folder. Then open the video in MPEG Streamclip and it will automatically mux the streams together, which can then be converted to TS.
Note that this is only possible encoding video to MPEG2. I don't know of any way to create an MP4 with 5.1 audio.
PS3 is a great way to deliver HD video onto your TV without the frustration of trying to author Blu-Ray or even burning discs.

Software not loadaing my h.264 MP4 Files

This is my deal
I have this Sanyo Camera that records videos on the 29.99fps and 59.94 fps 1920x1080 Full HD and makes MP4 files on H.264 compression for the video and AAC Stereo 48KHz for the audio.
I have see very well the videos on my QuickTime software but when I Import them into FCPX then it seems the system is working of the background for a while but then it stops. And still I can't see the video only hear it.
I remmber I was able to import and transcode at the same time on FCP7. Any ideas?
Please help,
Thanks.

Loss of a/v sync upon convert to h.264 .mp4 file

Hey guys
This file is about 1hr:20min long- It's an interview shoot that I needed to send raw footage of for review by a friend, anyways when I export the .mp4 file it comes out out of sync
My source footage in pr Pro CS4 is HDV and everything is perfectly in sync when played from the timeline
(in timeline source footage is 1440x1080 HDV 48 khz and export is to 640x360 widescreen h.264 22.4 khz)
but when I export it and play back with Adobe Media player the .mp4 file slightly goes out of sync and after about 10- 15 minutes it's noticeable- by the 1 hour mark it's even worse
I always close down Pr Pro CS4 first, then open up AME CS4 to encode the video by importing the sequence
Has anyone ever had to deal with this issue
any solutions??
Thanks
Tony

Looks like I answered another one of my own questions
It seems that changing the export audio sample rate from 22khz to 24khz did the trick- I guess this should've been obvious being that the original audio is
48 khz and 24 being exactly half of that
A friend told me it could've been a drop frame issue (meaning maybe HDV and my export options drop frame didn't match maybe one was non drop frame and the other was drop frame)- something to keep in mind going forward, but was not the issue here.
Anyways
Hopefully info this will help someone in the future
Best

Setting Retudancy for *.dbf and *.arc file

Hi all,
Below is my rman db full backup script...
allocate channel t5 device type disk;
backup as COMPRESSED BACKUPSET
format '/backup/baskar/DB/%d_%t_%s_%p'
tag 'dbmain_full_backup' database;
SQL 'alter system switch logfile';
crosscheck archivelog all;
backup as compressed backupset archivelog all format '/backup/baskar/DB/%d_Arch_Log%t_%s_%p';
backup
tag = cf1
format '/backup/baskar/DB/%d_CONTROL_%t_%s_%p' current controlfile;
release channel t1;
Now i want to set redutancy for the RMAN backup...I need to keep the archives for 3 days..IS that possible to set a reduancy for *.dbf files as 2 and for archive files as 3 in RMAN....Two separate redunancies...
thanks,
baskar.l

Since you hide your database version, there's no accurate answer possible (sometimes Oracle performs changes), this is for 10g concerning the archivelog deletion policy (it has changed significantly in 11g):
ARCHIVELOG DELETIONPOLICYTO ( APPLIED ON STANDBY | NONE | CLEAR ) Governs archived redo log deletion policy for the flash recovery area. Possible settings are:
•APPLIED ON STANDBY - enables flash recovery area to delete archivelogs that are applied on mandatory standby. See Oracle Data Guard Concepts and Administration for details.
•NONE - enables flash recovery area to delete archivelogs that are backed up to tertiary device and that are obsolete based on the configured backup retention policy. This is the default configuration.
•CLEAR - clears the deletion policy and returns the specified configuration to default value. The default value is NONE.
As you can see there's no equivalent to 'REDUNDANCY n'.

Setting path for third party class files

I am using some third party classfiles in my JSPs for JDBC. When I use these files, in normal Java Programs everything is working fine ( I am setting the path by using the CLASSPATH environment variable).
I did not understandt how to set classpath for these files (com.informix.jdbc.*) for use in iplanet 6.0.
I have tried to keep this "com" folder in /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.3_01/lib folder, but, it is not still working. I tried to change the start-jvm file, but, I am still having problems.
Can someone help me !!!
--Murthy.

Hi,
I changed the jvm12.conf file, but, it did not work. I changed the JDK Runtime Classpath in the Global Settings tab of the Administration Server and restarted both the webserver and the administration server and it worked.
Thanks for your response.

Is XMP import/export for MOV/MTS/MP4 files not supported?

I have been evalutating LR4 and am stuck on how to import my files from another DAM into LR4.
I am able to write XMP into JPG files, and provide sidecar XMP files for RAW (CR2) and MOV/MP4/MTS files, writing my hierarchical keyword information into the xmp-dc:Subject and xmp-lr:HierarchicalSubject fields.
LR4 seems to read the XMP keywords from the JPG and RAW files just fine and re-creates my keyword hierarchy.
LR4 seems to ignore on import the XMP for the non-image files such as the MOV/MP4/MTS files for which I have provided sidecar files.
LR4 also does not write out XMP files for the non-image files, when I use save Medatada.
Does LR4 just ignore import/writing XMP for these non-image files?
Thanks,

MTS files can't really accept metadata embedding -your best bet is to use ClipWrap to "re-wrap" AVCHD/MTS files into MOV files.
This still does not fix the problem of LR not writing XMP data to video files. Unfortunately, if you want to have metadata that stays with your MOV files, you'll want to use something aside form LR4 -I wouldn't bother doing much video cataloging in LR4.

QT playback of h.264 mp4 files

OK, I have spent the last two weeks making mp4 files of my TV DVDs to watch at school. Now, my PC won't play the videos properly. The playback is jittery, with the video skipping and the audio matching it. I play the same file through VLC media player or QT on my mac, it plays perfect. Anyone know how to fix it?

this fix worked for me.Right-click the program icon on desk-top and choose run-as, then uncheck protect my computer from unauthorized program activity. I am not sure if this stays that way after a log-out, because every time I check it, it is checked again. I just do it every time before starting the program. Good Luck!

Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

Dear All,
Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
Dim IsOk As Boolean
Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
' Fill in pdf properties.
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
End If
p_DDoc.Close
End If
'Close the PDF
p_VDoc.Close True
p_AcroApp.Exit
'Clear Variables
Set p_DDoc = Nothing
Set p_VDoc = Nothing
Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
End Sub
What I need;
1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance

We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
You could look for an application that gives control of font for
printing.
You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
to this.

Editing H.264 .mp4 files in premiere pro cs4?

I recently got a GoPro HD Hero camera, and i've been shooting in 720 and 60i, the files that come off of the camera are in .mp4 format, and when i import them into premiere pro cs4 i can hear the sound but all i see is a solid green screen, can anyone shed some light on this problem?

I cant even get it to import to CS4
On both my desktop and laptop.
It crashes and just hangs.
I tried CS3 but it would not even try to import saying not a suported format.
im updating to the new 4.2.1 to see if that works.
my compter is a few years old and it doesnt like HD.
I can play HDV.
Even just playing yours in my media player it is having a hard time keeping up.
It plays fine on the laptop in the player so that is the one updating now.
Even G-Spot says that the codec is undetermened.

After Effects CC // Adobe Media Encoder won't export H.264 mp4 files

It stops immediately after "Reading XMP", having exported a defective file (200 kb, about a second long). I've tried several presets in this category.
Is it a codec problem? What could be the cause?

Rick means composition, not compensation.
But he's right; we need that info.
Also, is this a dynamically linked project? If so, what exact version number of AE are you using (down to the last decimal)? Also, what version of AME? If not, what format and codec are you rendering to out of AE that you're bringing into AME?

Re: Setting FrameRate for the output movie file

A small typing mistake ,
I have typed as,
"so the frame should be 1" instead of "so the frame rate should be 1"

Try exporting to Windows Media at 8Mbps. Any higher data rate and the PC might choke on it.
But make sure his monitor is capable of 1920X1080 because more likely he would be just as happy with 1290X720 and the quality would be even better at that size using the same data rate.

How to set password for a zip file?

I am able to add files to a zip file using java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream. I'd like to set password for the generated zip file, but could not find any relevant API in JDK doc.
How to do that in Java? Maybe using a third party library?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks bro, I am looking at the Zip4J :) one of its feature is "Read/Write password protected Zip files" :)
