Storage requirements for video using Nano, iMovie ( on mini Mac).

I recently acquired a new Nano with the video option. Took some video clips at a wedding and converted to a 7 minute video using iMovie on my Mac Mini. Included a few title pages. Required storage capacity 18GBytes. Seems excessive. Any comments on how I could get this figure down without reducing the length of the video etc.

Any other processes running on the mini at the same time?

Fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac?

What is the fastest and best external hard disks for video use with Imac (I believe it is currently not possible to use Esata on the Imac).

For DVCam. HDV etc, I'm a fan of the G-raid drives. From personal experience they
are very solid performers. I only had one issue with a new drive that was replaced
next day. They are not the cheapest drives to be found but the build quality
is excellent. Check out:

Bandwidth Requirement for Video Call

Hi,
I am having Cisco 9951 phones in my all location now we want to configure Video call between two location (Head office to SRST locaiton). Please help me how much bandwidth is require to make video calls.
Also, what all configuration is require for the same.
Regards,
Shambhu

The default is inter-region max video call bit rate is 384K, close to one video call.
The default Interregion max video call bit rate is 384K.
The bandwidth would depend on the resolution being used. The recommended bandwidth for resolutions are as follow:
VGA 360p@30fps: 768 - 2000kbps
VGA 360p@15fps: 448 - 767kps
CIF@30fps: 320 - 447kbps
CIF@15fps: 256 - 319kbps
QCIF@30fps: 128kbps – 255kbps
QCIF@15fps: 64 - 127kbps
And 9971 IP Phone supports below formats:
SQCIF (128 x 96 pixels)
QCIF (176 x 144 pixels)
QVGA (320 x 240 pixels)
SIF (352 x 240 pixels)
CIF (352 x 288 pixels)
VGA (640 x 480 pixels)

Requirement for Video Conferencing on CallManager 3.3

hi,
can anyone help me on this? Im preparing for a proposal for implementing video conferencing on a CallManager 3.3. VidCon should be used on the HQ and two branch offices.
Tnx...

the need to use video conferencing should be considered as a factor for upgrading your call managers to at least 4.1.
many enhancements, fixes and features, especially for video conferencing, have been introduced since 3.3.
if you required vidConf with 3.3, you should consider using a polycom solution.
http://polycom.com/products_services/1,1443,pw-35,00.html
the VSX series is pretty nice with straight forward config/administration and of course, superb polycom technology/support.
(may not be the cheapest solution but it's definately stable and works well)
NOTE: the cisco IP Video Phones, 7985G, may be able to fulfill your needs; especially if vidConf is only intraCompany.
(requires 7985 phones, ccm 4.1+ and a cisco MCU)

Central storage solution for video & digital content

I'm looking for advice on storage solutions for a small scale (audio) recording studio which is expanding into video and post production.
There is a simple wired/wireless network connected via a simple Netgear wireless/ethernet router to which two MacPros (ethernet), one iMac (wireless) and one MacBook (wireless) are connected.
Currently audio is recorded onto 10,000rpm drives in the main MacPro and then archived onto SATA drives in a firewire Wiebetech traydock system. There is also an Apple Time Capsule which backups up the other computers.
The system is rather fragmented and messy and I'm looking to upgrade to a simpler and more resilient system for managing all this. I've been using Mac for a long time but haven't kept abreast of central storage solutions.
Advice on a simple central storage solution would be appreciated. Thanks.

One thing I'm unsure about is the difference between Firewire 800 and Ethernet as connection protocols between a computer and an external drive or RAID. I've seen "Networked" external storage devices that look quite simple ( eg IOMEGA StorCenter ix2-200 Network-Attached Storage - 4TB)
Are both suitable for connecting an external drive/RAID, providing adequate bandwidth for uncompressed HD video editing?
With a standard 4 year old MacPro and ethernet routed via my Netgear Wireless Router, what would the bandwidth be?
Thanks for any answers to these basic questions.

Storage options for video editing

For video editing is it better to use an external drive as the scratch disc or use an internal (non-bootable) drive. I keep getting conflicting information. I would like to get an additional 500gb for my system (Mac Pro G5)but don't know what direction to go. Any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Well it all depends. Certainly, there's many good reasons to install a second internal drive. But I think it's better to use this as a "clone" of your startup drive. When I have a stable OS and application combo, I clone my startup drive to the second internal drive using carbon copy cloner (available at versiontracker.com). After cloning, I always try starting up from the clone to make sure everything's working. Then I can do a software update, install additional apps, and if my system goes south either from updates or some sort of corruption, I can quickly restart from the second internal drive and get back to work.
I've installed a sata card and bought a 5 bay sata enclosure from macgurus. Trays are about $ 25.00 and drives keep getting cheaper. I can quickly swap out drives and you can also stripe the drives if you need faster thru put.
I used to have as many as 11 firewire drives chained to my g5 and it worked great for years. But then things went seriously south and it took many months of troubleshooting to figure out the problem. It seemed like different brands of firewire drives did not play nicely together. I've been working with the sata enclosure for 2 1/2 years without any problems.

Basic qos for video using mqc

I have two 2800 routers connected via T1. I need a basic configuration for prioritizing my video using MQC and LLQ.
Thanks.

Hi,
you have to build only 2 priorization-queues. One for Voice and one for Video (with lower performance).
The third queue will be a wfq-queue with lfi to be sure that big-packets are not reasons for bad voice or video.
the signalling should be in the voice-queue.

How do I control storage location for iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie

My primary drive is getting full and I note that my User file has all of the iPhoto images, iDVD projects and iMovie projects. I want to take these collections off the main drive and place them on one of my external hard drives to open up space on my primary drive (the one with the Applications, etc.) How do I control where my images and movies are filed when I use the above applications? I do not recall designating any save function to this folder or drive. How can I save these files in a location on my external drives in tthe future? If I move these images and movies from my User file, will that cause a problem for iPhoto or iMovie or iDVD in finding the files in the future as I use these applications?

Hi
They are using three different concepts - VERY UNLIKE APPLE to do like this !
• iPhoto saves in a iPhoto library and there can be more than one - using the alt-key during up-start let's You to select which one You want to use and on Main Hard Disk at Root level in Photo folder.
• iDVD - Save an iDVD Project file (sort of folder) where You want to find it.
• iMovie - saves Event's and Project's in iMovie Event's resp Project's folders AND ONE MUST NOT alter or move anything in them or location of them - Moving Event's and Project's MUST BE DONE inside the iMovie Application !
So while one can move iMovie Event's and Project's to another Mac - the needed Photos (and audio from iTunes) will be missing and very hard to get iMovie on second Mac to find and recognice.
Yours (also confused - and moving step by step into the OLD FinalCut realm - Where everything makes SENSE !)

15" MBP with Nvidia vs. Non for heavy use of iMovie

I would like to purchase a new 15" MacBook Pro and am wondering if I should get the more expensive one with the Nvidia Graphics Card or without. I like to do a lot of video editing on iMovie and have thousands and thousands of photos on iPhoto that I like to edit.
Do I need the Nvidia graphics card or should I get the standard 15" model and up the memory/processor/hard drive?
Thank you!

Perhaps if I put it this way...
Does anyone know what temperature I need to stay under so that the video card does not detach again?
I have istat monitor and it shows a few different temps.
thanks for any help...

Storage issues for Proxies using Final Cut Server

Hi there,
we have a fairly high amount of material that is just being put into Final Cut Server to be archived again.
I dont mind the Xserve being busy to create these proxy files, but they tie up too much space!
(Maths: 500 GB / 40 h of DVCAM footage result in more than 100 GB proxy files).
We have those 40 h running though more than once a month plus a whole LOT of material from the last 2 years - and our Xsan is only 7 TB in size.
Although we could theoretically buy another fiber raid this solution is not really future proof - it just pushes the time when we have to buy the next one a couple of months forward.. on top of that I cannot afford to have expensive, fast fiber channel storage used for proxies of files that are long archived and have only very limited use (and IF we need them, stick in the archive device and done).
Any ideas how to get rid of proxy files from archived assets?
I dont really want to take pen and paper and delete the proxies of the files by hand from the bundle.. dont think FCSvr will like this either.
thanks for any advice
tobi

So I'm not sure how your math is adding 100GB of proxy files
Are you creating VersionS and/or Edit Proxies of everything?
I ask because using the default Clip Proxy setting gives you file sizes similar to the ones below. These numbers aren't accurate because the default Transcode setting uses Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoding for both video and audio, but assuming you had a relative constant 800kbps stream here's how large your Proxies.bundle file should be
800kbps * 30secs = 2.4mb
800kbps * 60secs = 4.8mb
800kbps * 60secs * 60min = 280.8mb per hour
280.8mb per hours * 40= 11.2GB
Also note, that deleting an asset from FCSvr doesn't delete the proxy files so you could have a lot of proxies left over from a few historical scans.

Importing footage from sony HDR-SR12 to External for later use in imovie?

Hi all, I have a question, I would like to save my movie footage which is on my sony HDR-SR12 to a external drive(G Raid1TB) so I can view and also import clips to imovie for making movie's later. I have partitioned the Ext HD 150gb for photos and 781gb for movie footage. Just out of curiosity I mounted my camera and pressed get info and the format on the sony camera is MS-Dos(fat32) does this matter at all? Also which is the best way or how do I import the footage from sony hdr-sr12 to the external Hd. I have never done this before so your help would be greatly appreciated, I don't want to mess up.
Thank You
Jess

I should have mentioned, it is a good idea to make an archive copy of your AVCHD footage before importing. You should be able to do this from the FILE menu in iMovie. This will preserve the AVCHD files exactly as they were on the camera.
When you import, you convert the AVCHD files (which are highly compressed) into Apple Intermediate Codec, which is suitable for editing.
If you want to make sure that your archive copy is working properly, you can import from your archive copy, rather than importing directly from the camera. This is a good way to make sure you have a good archive copy before erasing the video on the camera.

Storage requirement for LiveType...

Hey,
Was wondering what kind of storage people have and amounts? I only have a 40GB internal on my Mac mini too small for a boot drive with Final Cut Express HD, Soundtrack and LiveType and content. Should I get a bigger internal like a 100GB or get a big external Firewire hard drive like a LaCie 200gb?
Chris

Chris, I only have a 60gb HD and I have all that on my computer. I don't load the Live Type fonts. I get them from the cd when I need one. I don't have my loops on for Sound Track either. The only problems I seem to having is incredibly slow rendering in FCE and LT. This I believe is due to my processor and slowness of my hard drive.
I will buy a very fast external hard drive one day but having said that I would like a G5 Tower with dual processors. Anyway you can get relatively inexpensive Ex Hd's But make sure it uses Firewire and has a 7200rpm hard drive .
