Use Compressor to create iPad Ready Viedo and host on OS X 10.6 Wiki Server

Hi Everyone.
This might be in another Forum but I think the problem is with conversion as other videos on my wiki server work just fine, especially on my iPhone 3GS.
I've tried all the AppleTV presets and now I'm exporting an HD Video with the following settings:
Name: H.264 for iPad
Description: H.264 1280x720 video @ 5Mbps, progressive. Audio is 44.1kHz, stereo

Safari on my MacBook Pro plays the video beautifully but my iPad just hangs after trying to play. I can see the arrow shaped play button just fine. But no video. Also, I'm streaming it over the local network so I'm sure it isn't my bandwidth.
Thanks guys!

Thanks Eric! It went smooth like a summer breeze.

Since upgrading iTunes 10.5.1.42, I have been unable to use the "Advanced - Create iPad or Apple TV Version" to convert movies.

I have been unable to use the "Advanced - Create iPad or Apple TV Version" to convert my movies for use with my iPad2. The movie will go through the conversion process, and is the correct length, but the video is a black and there is no sound? Has anyone found a similar problem? If so, what can I do to fix the problem? Before I used Handbrake to convert the videos which worked well, but now that is not working either .

No, there is no direct download link. Those are days of the past, I'm afraid. You may need to reinstall Mavericks.

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

I published a website using iWeb. I began using iWeb to create a second site and now I can't find my original site's work on my Mac.

If you're publishing directly from iWeb 3 to your FTP server then you'll have the following in your accounts root directory:
Site 1 folder
Site 2 folder
Site 3 folder
index.html file from last published site directling to the last published site.
If you want to keep Site 1 as the primary site you'll need to publish it one more time to the server so you get it's index.html file uploaded.
Now you'll have to publish Sites 2 and 3 to a folder on the hard drive and use a 3rd party FTP client like Cyberduck, YummyLite or Transmit to upload only the site folder (and not its external index.html file with it).
The url to sites 2 and 3 will be:
http://doman_name.com/Site 2
http://doman_name.com/Site 3

Using compressor to create HD quicktime movie

I am using the Sony FX-1 HD camera which records at 1080i60. I have captured the footage and now would like to create an HD quicktime movie to put on disc to be viewed on other computers. I tried using compressor and it took 24 hours to create a 5 minute file...What am I doing wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you capture using the intermediate codec it all goes faster at the cost of drive space pretty much.
Post more about your setup too. computer os etc..

What easy to use (MS or third party) tool can I use to create and host a webservice API on a SQL server database

I'm looking for a (MS or third party) tool with which I can create, publish and host webservice API's on a custom SQL database. For example a API which presents all customers, or validates a user login.
I prefer a tool that can be used without .NET programming skills, just using database scripts and queries.
Could somebody suggest a tool for this?
Many thank,
Slowytech

Use Visual Studio (Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web ) and the WebAPI framework. You can easily create REST endpoints for your data. You can even
use ODATA to enable RESTful queries over your data.

Using compressor to create a 180 minute DVD from VHS

Hi,
Converted some files across to my hard drive using Elgato Video Capture.
I asked for the file in H.264 not MP4 (although end file is .mp4?).
Was using toast to convert the file to MPEG-2 for DVD use, but wasn't greatly impressed with the results.
So I am using compressor instead. A couple of questions though.
1. Compressor only has a setting up to 150 minutes. Do I use this?
2. How does Compressor understand the estimated minutes in the encoder section? i.e. when you change the bit-rate, the estimate at the bottom of the screen changes. I am a little confused as I know a dual layer disk will allow up to 8.5GB. But at 2.7 Mbps it comes in at 147 minutes, but only 4.27 GB. Surely this means I can up the bit-rate significantly getting better quality as I am going to burn to dual layer?
3. What does it mean when it says 'allows 145 minutes/layers of video on "DVD-S" - I'm burning to a DVD+R...
4. They are all shot 4:3 and Elgato has transferred the file to a 640x480 aspect ratio. But compressors standard setting is 720x576 - do I need to change this to match the file? i.e. 640x480?
Thanks

Elgato should be able to capture full res SD 720x576. If not you should consider another converter or capturing with iDVD.
All PAL DVD footage must be converted to 720x576 MPG-2 in order for DSP/iDVD to make a DVD.
The reason there is no 3 hour setting in Compressor is because the software isn't able to make decent looking compression with that amount of footage. This is also why studios never put 3 hours of features and extras on a standard DVD-5 - they always make a DL disc.
Some DVD-R recorders will do an OK job of this and Toast has a feature that will recompress your dual-layer DVD(more than 4.3GB) to fit on a DVD-5 but there are many variables to this equation and no real hard and fast answers.

Creating in Final Cut and hosting on a Windows streaming media Server

Is it possible to host video files created in Final Cut Studio 2 and host them on Windows Server 2003 Streaming Media Server? If yes what format should I render the video? H.264?

hey there integron, welcome to Discussions!
it should be possible to do what you want w/ the purchase of the additional components of "Flip4Mac" to convert FCP's QT movie to WMV or AVI movie. there's more info on the license & converting @ the "Flip4Mac" 'site--http://www.flip4mac.com/
good luck.

How To: Use FCPX to create iPhone Portrait Movies (and other non-standard formats)

Goal: Use Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 to produce a 640x1136 video (iPhone 5 Portrait). You can use these same steps to produce virtually any dimensions you want. My example is for the iPhone 5, in Portrait mode.
This information is available in various places, but you have to realy work to find it, so I thought I'd post a step-by-step guide here.
By the way, you might think you could just create a FCPX Project with your desired dimensions, but you can't (at least with 10.0.7). Projects only support certainly dimensions. But there are other ways, as the rest of this post describes:
1) Create an initial movie with the desired dimensions, to serve as a template. We'll call it "Template.mov". The only thing that matters is the dimensions. It can be in any codec FCPX understands, and virtually any length.
I'm using a 2 second video shot on my iPhone for the template. You could also create a blank image (.png, whatever) with the proper dimensions, copy and paste it into a new Quick Time Pro 7 window, and Export it using custom settings. There's lots of different ways to do this.
2) Drop Template.mov into a FCPX event.
3) Select Template.mov in the Event browser, and select File->Duplicate (or command-D). You probably could just edit "Template.mov", but it's a good idea to save it for reuse.
3) Change the name of the copied video. I'm using "iPhone Video".
4) Right-click "iPhone Video" and select "Open in Timeline".
5) If you made the Template video from a still image, you may need to change the duration (ctrl+D). You don't have to make it very long, but it needs to be longer than 1 frame. A few seconds should be enough.
6) Use this timeline like you'd use a project's timeline. Drop in new content, trim, transition, etc. There may be things you can't do in it, but I haven't found any yet. I'm guessing Chapters may not work, but I haven't tried them.
7) Note that when you drop new content into the timeline, it may size funny. That's because the default setting for "Spacial Conform" is "Fit". Simply select the newly-dropped content, and in the Video settings inspector, scroll down to "Spacial Conform" and change it. You could use "Fill", which fills the frame vertically, or "None", which uses the source's original height. Then crop/transform/whatever to get what you want.
8) When you're ready to render, select "iPhone Video" in the Event browser, then use the "Share" button. You want to use the "Export File" destination, which you may have to add. Pick your codec, and let 'er rip.
9) When the rendering is done, you should have a video in your desired dimensions.
That's all there is to it. Hope this helps someone.

PS: Don't ask why someone would want to create an iPod video using FCPX. The point is that you may need to create a video with non-standard dimensions at some point in time, and this is how to do it.
PPS: Most of this information came from http://library.creativecow.net/articles/payton_t/FCPX_Custom-Resolution-Timeline s/video-tutorial. I just wrote it down, while I tried to do what the video suggested.

Instructions for using QuickTime Pro 7 to create a template video with unusual dimensions.
I suspect that anyone savy enough to be using FCPX has probably already figured out how to do this, either using my technique or another, so there probably isn't a real need for me to post this. For that matter, I may be the only person who cares about this at all. However, while I was trying to learn how to do all of this, I would have really appreciated having all the information in one place, so here goes.
If you want to create a video with unusual dimensions (like 640x1136) using my steps above, you'll need a "template" video first. Here's an easy way to create one, using any image editor, and QuickTime Pro 7.
1) Open QuickTime Pro 7 (QTP for short).
2) From the menu, select File->New Player. You'll get a window with just the bottom portion of the player, i.e. the playback controls.
3) Using an image editor, create a still image in the desired dimensions. You can use any image editor. It doesn't matter what the image contains (although it will end up showing as a thumbnail in FCPX).
4) Copy the image to the clipboard.
5) Switch back to QTP, and paste the image into the new player. Don't worry that there isn't a video window showing - just paste it into the window that has only playback controls. As soon as you do, the video window appears.
6) Advance to the end of the movie (the short, 1-frame movie), then hold down Command+V (paste) and keep holding it down to paste multiple images in. Watch the time advance. You could, if you want, just hold down Command+V until you get the length you want. But if you want a long video, there's an easier way:
7) When you reach a few seconds (or whatever duration your patience allows), select all (Command+A) and copy (Command+C). Then hold down Command+V to keep pasting in the longer clips. Wait until you reach a longer duration, then repeat the process. So, for example, 1 second, then 10 seconds, then 1 minute, then 10 minutes, then 1 hour. Or whatever you want.
8) Save the video however you want. I usually use File->Export with H.264, with Quality set to "Least". Just make sure you don't let it change the dimensions. If you resized the player window, depending on which "save" or "export" method you've chosen, it might default to the resized dimensions, so double check that to make sure.
That's it. You now have a template video you can use with my previous post(s).

While using bluetooth wireless on iPad, it stalls and the on screen keyboard comes up.

I just bought my iPad 2 about two weeks ago. Before that I was playing around with my parent's iPad first generation.
For both iPads, I have the same problems while using the same wireless keyboard on both of them.
1. While typing, at random times the wireless keyboard stops responding and the on screen keyboard shows up.
2. While typing, also at random times, the wireless keyboard stops responding and the same alphabet that I last typed in would multiply itself until I either press "command + A" and delete or lock my parent's iPad and iPad 2.
3. While typing, my wireless keyboard stops responding, on screen keyboard shows up, I select my on screen keyboard to hide, continued typing on the wireless keyboard, it stops responding again and my iPad2 restarts in a split second with the black backdrop and apple logo in the middle and goes to lock screen. Then everything is fine.
4. While not typing, on screen keyboard shows up at random times while bluetooth is paired to wireless keyboard and then goes back down, all this while bluetooth icon at the top screen of the iPad2 flashes.
I don't know what is wrong. At first I thought my iPad 2 has a problem but when I remembered the same problems occurred on my parent's iPad first generation, I don't know if it is just my keyboard or the iPad(s) have a problem.
Please help me!

If this is only one specific app, it is a problem with that application's programming.
You can try to reset your iPad by holding down both the Home and Lock buttons for approximately 15 seconds or until the device restarts while ignoring the power slider.

Using Compressor to create H.264 MPEG-4

I am trying to make a H.264 MPEG-4 video file. In Compressor, I can see that I can make a H.264 .mov file or an MPEG-4 file that is not H.264.
Is it possible to make a H.264 file that is also MPEG-4? Is there any difference beween files that end in a .mov extension and those that end in a .mp4 extension if both are H.264?

I'm not familiar with older versions of compressor. I have 3.5.1, which is what I describe here.
In the templates when you open Compressor, or when you ask for "new batch from template ..." under the file menu, one of the templates is "Create web Reference Movie". I assume this is what you want.
If you choose this template, you have three options, Large, Medium, and Small web movie. Compressor will make all three unless you click on the - in the right side of the window for the ones you don't want.
Suppose you choose Small web movie. Drag the Icon for your movie into the box on the left with the down arrow. Click on Small web movie and you will get the Inspector window. What you first see in the Inspector is the Summary. There are five additional windows that you can get by clicking on the icons above the word Summary. The second icon is Encoder. The default is a H.264 mov file for Quicktime. You can change the file format in Encoder to MPEG-4. This will produce a movie with H.264 encoding with a mp4 extension.
In my experience compressor produces a smaller file with this option but not as sharp. Compressor also wants to do things like make an HTML file for your movie. This is covered somewhat here.

Using Project Settings creates an app.config and dozens of errors about "Could not find schema information for the element...

I am trying to work with Application settings. I would just like to put together a very simple example of using these, but I can't get the most basic example to work. Virtually every tag regarding the new Settings produces an Error "Could not find the schema information for the element "applicationSettings". or the element "Settings" etc. etc. I am not using IIS, this is not a Web Project, and I am not working with User Settings. Just simple read-only Application Settings. I've read every MSDN page regarding this subject, I don't see that I am missing a reference - HELP !!!
REPRODUCING THE PROBLEM:
Step 1. Create a new C# solution and Windows Forms project.
Step 2. Add a reference to System.configuration
Step 3. Right click the project, choose Properties, then Settings.
Step 4. Using the Settings Designer, create ONE setting called "MySetting" as a String with the value "MyValue".
RESULT: Observe the Errors like these, complaining about all of the Settings tags and elements.
Message 1 Could not find schema information for the element 'applicationSettings'.
Message 2 Could not find schema information for the element 'LoadOriginalLists.Properties.Settings'.
Message 3 Could not find schema information for the element 'setting'.
HERE IS MY APP.CONFIG, AS GENERATED BY THE SETTING DESIGNER TOOL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >

</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<applicationSettings>
<LoadOriginalLists.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="MySetting" serializeAs="String">
<value>MyValue</value>
</setting>
</LoadOriginalLists.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
</configuration>

Ummmm... okay so these are Messages that are in the Error List. Whether or not they are actually Errors is debatable. They are in the Error List, so they are errors.
The application runs, so my question is slightly changed to the following.
I would like to use Application Settings. However, having settings in my app.config pollutes my Error List with a bunch of meaningless messages like "Could not find the schema information for...". These messages then hide real errors.
Am I missing some setting or is there something I can do to make Visual Studio not show me these messages?

Using Compressor to create QuickTime file for Web

Have: a 2 minute clip, shot in HD, edited in FCP7. Exported it as a FCP QuickTime movie, 1080i60, size is 441MB.
Need to: take that QuickTime file into Compressor and create a much smaller file, which will ultimately be converted to Flash and posted on a Web site. Have tried various QuickTime outputs in Compressor -- the resulting files are either too large, blurry, or lose the widescreen aspect ratio.
Please, help.

Here's what I would try:
QuickTime Movie: h.264 compression @ 1500 Kbps
Screen Resolution: 640 x 360.
Audio: AAC @ 128 Kbps.

Using iCloud with an iPad, a PC and a Samsung Omnia II phone stripped all contacts and calendar from my phone. How can I fix this?

I activatediCloud on my iPad2 and synced to my Sony Vaio PC using ( calendar & contacts in Outlook). Then when I synced my Samsung Omnia II to my PC, all my contacts and calendar were stripped from my phone. Can somebody help me:
1) recover my information to the phone and
2) learn a reasonable way of syncing email & contacts between these three devices or
3) tell me if getting an iPhone will really solve all my problems

No problem [and only since you asked].
First of all, only the original poster (OP) can make the awards and these are limited to 1 x 'This solved my question' and 2 x 'This helped mes' Once you have used the 'This solved by question' you cannot withdraw it (as in your case) and allocate it to someone else. The best you can do to 'compensate' is to issue one (or the two) 'This helped me' provided they have not been used up.
