Tips on recording video 4:3 or 16:9

Hi Guys
I just need a tip when I record video with my camera: should I use the aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9?
Is there any real difference in terms of quality, file size and compatability?
In other words, let's say I take a 10 minute footage, first in 4:3 and second in 16:9:
Will I get better quality shooting in 16:9?
Will the file size become smaller after capturing into Premiere Pro CS4, if I shot using 16:9?
Will the edited finished DVD be compatible to more TV sets (old CRT and new plasma/LCD) if I shot using 16:9?
Thanks guys in advance.

I just need a tip when I record video with my camera: should I use the aspect ratio of 4:3 or 16:9?
That depends. What do you want? What's your camera? What's your destination? What's the look you're hoping to achieve?
Is there any real difference in terms of quality, file size and compatability?
Probably not, but again, it depends on your camera. Some cameras have native 16:9 imagers and create a nice 16:9 image; others have 4:3 imagers and perform some black-art-mojo and create a not-so-nice 16:9 image. If your camera is DV, then file size is the same, because DV is DV is DV, and Premiere has no problem working with either standard or widescreen DV footage.
In other words, let's say I take a 10 minute footage, first in 4:3 and second in 16:9:
Will I get better quality shooting in 16:9?
Will the file size become smaller after capturing into Premiere Pro CS4, if I shot using 16:9?
Will the edited finished DVD be compatible to more TV sets (old CRT and new plasma/LCD) if I shot using 16:9?
See above.
See above.
This is the wrong question. It has little to nothing to do with the television, and everything to do with the DVD player. Most DVD players produced in this century will have a setting to specify the aspect ratio of your television. They need this information so they know how to display widescreen DVDs. If the setting is wrong for your TV, it'll look wrong, but that's not the TV's fault. Bottom line: a widescreen DVD can display properly on a standard TV or a widescreen TV.

Recorded Videos after Sync: The requested URL was not found on this server.

A few days ago, i recorded a couple of videos. They were saved properly and i could watch them after it in the Camera Roll of my iPhone. Because my memory was almost full, i connected my iPhone to my MacBook and synchronized about 900 old pictures with iPhoto and selected to delete the pictures after the sync. I did not select the recently recorded videos.
After the sync, i opened the Camera Roll on my iPhone and tried to watch the videos again. But now, they all have a grey icon and it says the duration is 0:00 minutes. When i click on a video, it shows me the following error message:
The requested URL was not found on this server.
When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says that there is about 350 MB of "Documents and Data" on my phone that I have no idea where it is coming from. Do you think it is possible that the videos are still saved on my phone but my phone doesn't recognize it as videos and can't assign it to the icons in the Camera Roll? Do you have any tips how I can access the videos in case they are still saved somewhere on my iPhone?
Thank you very much in advance for your help and tips!

I have the same problem too!! I was deleting some photos and videos in my phone when the next picture I swiped to was a blank picture with JPG in the middle~ after I closed camera roll and reopened it my photos and videos after that picture are all gone~ and I'm left with 3 videos I took about 30 mins before with 0:00 and when I tried to play them the message popped up saying "requested URL cannot be found on this server" T^T does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Exposure control errors when recording videos with...

I noticed that when I record videos, the exposure sometimes is not adjusted properly. If lighting conditions change, exposure remains at the same level, and records became over or underexposed. This is especially noticeable outdoors.
I have a few minutes long sample recording where the recording starts normally, then as light conditions change, (I slowly move from a shady area to a lit area) exposure gradually degrades to a point where most of the recording "burns out" due to extreme overexposure ( about 80% of the picture is white).
What confuses me is when I tried to reproduce this problem (albeit it different lighting conditions), exposure control worked pretty good.
I wonder if these exposure problems are due to a bug, hardware problem or a device limitation.
Do you have any tips to get better recordings with the phone?

Record videos to use on "Skype in the classroom"

Skype in the classroom, officially launched at the end of March 2011, is a free global community to help teachers collaborate on classroom projects and share skills and inspiration around specific teaching needs. It also offers an immediate way to help students discover new cultures, languages and ideas, all without leaving the classroom. So far, more than 9,000 teachers have registered their classrooms in this free, online database.
This new Skype community is a great and powerful teaching tool. Teachers can go online to register for free and add in their contact details, also find where their school is located and what their interests are. It makes teachers to collaborate on classroom projects where they might use Skype, and share skills and inspiration around specific teaching needs. Students can discover new cultures, languages and ideas without leaving the classroom. So, the learning will be more interesting and memorable. Students from any countries can also discuss images of their favorite foods, maps of their country's geography, and information on what kind of weather they have, even comparing school uniforms. It’s really exciting when Skype's videoconferencing technology was used. For example, one little American girl asked the Chilean students if they had to wear uniforms. To answer, a fifth grader popped in front of the camera and proudly showed off her "jumper with colored ties". It’s indeed a great way to get kids to learn more about the world they live in and interact with other kids. If you want to enroll your classroom in “Skype in the classroom”, visit Skype Education website.
Then, teachers on Skype in the classroom should definitely consider using a Skype video recorder to record or capture video and audio like Camersoft Skype Video Recorder to record the video calls so that the experience can be shared with other children. Especially, the ability to record the entire exchange in a single file – the video and audio of all participants in a side-by-side format – would make it very easy to share these cultural exchanges.
The resource section of Skype in the classroom is stacked with videos, links and tips. With recorder program, teachers can smoothly and easily add resources of their own or favorite the ones they like best to create a huge, shareable library of teaching ideas. This Skype video recorder can record video and audio, and then save it as AVI files. More powerful, teachers can convert AVI files to many other formats you want to play with any media devices and merge many single files into one to share with students conveniently on Skype in the classroom.

Thanks!

Recording Videos

I am having trouble recording video from really anything (tv, dvd player, vcr, etc). I have a friend who is using a MAC and a box called a Miglia Director's cut (http://www.miglia.com/products/video/director2/)
all he does is hook up the director's cut to the tv w/regular composite cables and it hooks to the MAC with a firewire. So then to record something off the tv all he does is open quicktime player, go to file and click record movie. Now i have tried to do the same exact thing, only im using windows and the option is not available to select "new movie recording" only "new audio"? i have found this little bit on the Support section of apple.com (http://helpqt.apple.com/qthelpwr3/english/QuickTimeHelp/pgs2/qtFmSet3.htm)
and it does say a MAC can record video but doesnt say anything about a windows machine. is there something im doing wrong or can you not use quicktime 7 pro to record movies on a windows machine??? Please help

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/faq.html
QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows currently supports audio capture only.

Recording Video to SD - 4GB Limit?

I've encountered a bug with the video camera on the Z10. I'm using what I assume is the latest version of the software that was pushed out recently (10.2.1.2102).
I was recording video and after half an hour or so I received an error message stating there was an error saving the video. When I checked on the SD card I can see the file with the correct date/time and file extension however the file doesn't open. I notice the file is 4GB which is the file size limit on FAT32, so it appears that the camera doesn't automatically stop recroding and write the mp4 info, or start a new file, when it nears this limit on SD cards.
1 - can this be fixed?
2- is there any way of recovering the video? The footage I have isn't really replacable. I've tried VLC and mp4box with no luck.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums.
VLC would have been my first suggestion, there are a number of other MP4 web sites and apps out there I suggest you keep trying.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them to upload to youtube but it won't let me import them.

I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

I am after using my ipad for 2-3 hours to record video, it will be while traveling so I could do with being able to set it up so it just records while I drive. Is this possible?

Hello as stated I wondered if there is an app that I could use to record a journey that I will make, it will take aprox 3 hours I can charge my ipad up as I go so battery life is not a problem and I have quite a bit of room on my I pad. Is it possible?

Sure why not. The camera app will record videos and there are car chargers for the iPad that you can purchase. You will need some sort of stand to place the iPad into, but those are available as well. You might need to adapt the out of the box car stands to face in the direction that you want, but there are lots of them out there.
You should set the iPad to not go to sleep in Settings>General>Auto Lock>Never until you are done recording.

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

Error message when trying to record video?

PowerMacG5
OS 10.5.6
QT 7.5.5
iSight camera
When I try to record a video using QT Pro I get the following error message:
Operation Could not be completed due to an unknown error.
(error Domain= NSOSStatusError Domain code= 1852797029
If I try to use iChat, iSight is working fine. After getting the error message in QTPro then iSight does not work anymore even in iChat....
I have to unplug iSight then plug it back in to get iChat video working again.
I deleted QT pref, no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

after several hours of searching for and testing of lots of different video capture applications, i have finally found one. There were several that worked. But the one that was the best of the ones i tested was *EvoCam (http://www.evological.com/evocam.html)* I haven't used it for long but from what i have seen so far it works sweet. The one main thing i wanted it to do was create video recordings. that it does. it also has several cool options and effects you can apply to the video.
hope this helps.
i still have not been able to get QT to record video with the iSight, or find any explanation from anywhere or anyone as to why. here is a list of a few of the other software apps i tried:
camtwist - (Really cool effects that you can apply to your cam for chats ect.)
BTVPro
capture magic
dreamn capture
gawker
ishowU hd
periscope
UseeMe
webcam tweaker
Rons video grabber

I can no longer record video on my iPad since the upgrade!

I went to record something on video this morning, and tapped "video" on my screen, and it did nothing. Can't seem to activate the record video button since the last upgrade of 07!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Record Video in iChat no longer available

Trying to help my Dad with this problem.
He owns a MacBook Air, and recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (now on 10.6.3). Before, in Leopard, he was able to record iChat sessions in "Video-> Record Chat" with the same computer. For some reason, now that option is grayed out.
Under "Video -> Connection Doctor -> Capabilities", it lists "Insufficient CPU" next to "Record Video Chat".
I had him delete all of his iChat preferences in his Home->Library->Preferences folder (which subsequently fixed the problem of me not being able to share his screen). However, it did not fix the record video problem.
Did Apple take out this feature for certain processors with the advent of Snow Leopard? How can he get it back short of taking 10.6 off of his system? Seems very strange to me that this is not working when it used to.
