Video Codec Basic question

Hi,
I am little bit confused, I have VT advantage A connected to an IP phone A with another IP phone B and VTA B.
When they are both IP phone in the same region, if i put the Video call to 50 Kbp, the video will still work between bot of them.
when i create a region and enable bandwidth for less than 384 between both location the call will be voice instead of video as there is not bandwidth enough.
I am confused, what is the bandwidth needed for the VTA and how can i limit it on the WAN using location.
Good day

as mentioned in previous post 384 will be good enough however please take layer2 + layer3 headers in consideration
hth...

Possibly a very basic question but I have set up a spread sheet in Numbers and have viewed help videos but I can't get it to give me sums for the columns I highlight. Keeps coming up with the figure zero. I have version 09 2.3(554). Can anyone help

Possibly a very basic question but I am going nowhere without a solution. I have set up a spreadsheet in Numbers but it won't give me sums for chosen columns. I have viewed the run through videos and used the formula but nothing happens apart from giving a figure of zero or a red arrow. The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total as I understand from the video that you can drag whatever total is here onto the relevent position on your spreadsheet. I have Numbers 09 version 2.3 (554). Can anyone advise. Thanks.

Hi Sohojools,
To sum a column, use a formula such as this one in Cell A6
Type this in a cell below your data:
=SUM(A2:A4) or whatever range of cells you want to sum. The easy way is to type:
=SUM(
and then drag or shift-click to select the range of cells. Close the formula with a final bracket ")".
The sum icon in the bottom left hand section of the window does not highlight or show any total
To see the sum (and other simple statistics) in the bottom left, select a range of cells. That tells Numbers which cells you are refering to.
The videos are good, but the Numbers'09 User guide, and the Formulas and Functions User Guide are better. Download them from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

Is JMF a failed concept ? basic question

I have been researching to embed a JMF app on an applet for nearly 2 months. i have also read most questions on this forums thats related to this topic.
Almost every one says to use java web start than using an applet. and most of the people in the forum has not got a solution to there problem, that is to add audio/video chat to an applet.
I too have a issue in adding a audio/video chat to an applet. but still almost every one encouraged me to use java webstart.
Further more there are no successful example in the net where you can add a audio/video chat into an applet. Most of the sample code given don't even work.
My problem is that, Why doesn't jmf work on applets ?? have some one tried using this method, and has it worked ?? and why does people in this forum encourage others to use java web start instead of applets ? and finally does sun want to turn down the concept of using applets ???
note: I might had asked a stupid question, if so my apologies._

The cross-platform version of JMF works just fine in embedded applets(1), it is the Performance Pack that can be a hassle to get working. The JMF PP would need to be installed on the users computer, to get the natives in a place they can be used.
Having said that, the "This computer needs to reboot" message at the end of the JMF installer puts a bit of a damper on that. Who wants to use an applet that requires them to reboot the PC before use?
Also, I've heard that even after that, many users visit the JMF test applet to have it report that the JMF classes are not found. Since I have little interest in deploying the PP to end users, I have never looked into it that closely.

..Almost every one says to use java web start than using an applet. Humour me. Why do your users want a browser window wrapped around the applet?
It seems logical to me, that the end user should just be able to click the maximize icon in a free floating app., rather than have the screen acreage of the GUI limited by a conventional applet.
My problem is that, Why doesn't jmf work on applets ??Please fix that sticky '?' key.
Reasons mentioned above. To contrast that with a webstart launch, it is trivially easy to add natives to the run-time class-path of a webstart app.
.. have some one tried using this method, and has it worked ??.. I've not tried it for the reasons mentioned above.
..and why does people in this forum encourage others to use java web start instead of applets ? (My) reasons mentioned above.
..and finally does sun want to turn down the concept of using applets ???Given the effort Sun is pouring into the jnlp2 architecture, which allows webstart services to be used even in embedded applets, I think not.
It should be noted though, that Sun has abandoned JMF a long time ago (though they have never issued an announcement to that effect). :(
As such:
a) It is lacking in the more advanced compression codecs, which it seems would be a killer for network/internet based media transfer.
b) Nobody is updating the (32 bit) natives, so I guess they will work on less and less PCs as time goes on.
Those two things aside, I feel that JMF is a relatively well engineered & comprehensive media solution. The reason so many people have trouble getting up to speed in JMF is largely because 'media handling' is a lot more complex than most people realise. I probably should have asked those people who complained about JMF, if they had ever dealt with the intricacies of media handling in another API for anything beyond 'throw a media file into the system player and play it'. Playing a media file would probably be trivially easy in VB.
And finally:
Sub: Is JMF a failed concept ? *<basic question>*
What is the meaning of life? Is a simple or basic question, it is the answer that is more complicated!

Basic Questions - capturing miniDV, exporting to DVD?

I apologize for the basic questions, but it's been a while since I've done this start to finish...like five years.
I shot a bunch of miniDV sports footage on a Canon GL2 and I am digitizing the footage via firewire (straight from my camera to my computer). I am using Final Cut HD. The output will be to DVD.
The Easy Setup is set to DV-NTSC. The sequence and capture settings are both set to DV-NTSC 48kHz.
1. Under system settings > playback control > What are the correct settins for "RT", "video quality" and "pulldown pattern"? Do these ultimately affect the output quality?
2. What is the "best" way to output to DVD (using the least compression, looking the best)? The end product will be about 35 minutes long. Should I output to QT and burn in DVD studio Pro, or "print to video" using an external DVD burner via a Sony converter box (how I used to export to VHS)?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I'm rather desperate...

Depending upon whether you mean desperate in terms of time required to deliver the project or just for a solution, you can quickly output to DVD using iDVD as follows.
If the FCP project resides on the same computer as iDVD (or a connected FW drive), simply 'export' - 'quicktime movie' (uncheck the 'make movie self-contained' checkbox and use 'current settings')
Open iDVD and drag the resultant quicktime file into one of the themes you have chosen. (In the iDVD preferences set to NTSC and as the project is less than 60 mins you can use 'best quality' or 'best performance'. (There is no option to compress audio in idVD)
The iDVD interface is pretty straight forward to negotiate.
You will have more control over the output quality using DVDSP, but the learning curve is a little steeper than iDVD, however the DVDSP tutorial manual is very good for a quick start - you have 2 options in DVDSP, either use compressor to compress audio and video before authoring the disc in DVDSP or drag the afore mentioned quicktime file into the assets pane of DVDSP and let DVDSP do the compression.
(I'm not an expert, but I believe this method doesn't give you the option to compress the audio - compressing the audio is one way of giving you more latitude in giving the video better quality)
So I reckon that to get the best results you ought to compress using compressor before bringing into DVDSP.
This thread is very useful as a basic Compressor tutorial.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3621676&#3621676
Along with the DVDSP tutorial manual, I authored and outputted a 60 min DVD with 2 menus and chapters, using Compressor and the DVDSP templates having had no prior experience at all with either Compressor or DVDSP in less than a day and I'm not particularly competent, so I know these 2 resources are user friendly.
Good luck,
Dave

Basic Questions About Editing Audio

I am new to Final Cut Express and can get around fine just had a few basic questions to do more things with it.
-First, how can I detach the audio from the video file for a specific clip?
-Second, is there a way to adjust the volume in specific spots of clips like in iMovie?
That should be all for now...Thank you very much

RC
Shift-L toggles clip linking on or off.
You use keyframes to adjust audio volume.
First, enable keyframes by clicking the zig zag button at the bottom left of the timeline. You should see red lines appear in the audio clips of the timeline.
Next, select the Pen tool and enter keyframes onto the red lines, dots appear.
The dots can be dragged up or down forward or backward to fine tune.

DVD studio basic questions...

HI!
I have mostly used FCP to make web videos, so making a DVD is new for me. I used iDVD in the past for family videos, but that's about it.
Some basic questions...
1) Does DVD Studio work from different FCP files? Meaning, can I create all the "chapter sections" in my dvd in different FCP files? Is that the best way to do it? Or does it all have to be done in one FCP file with some sort of chapter marker system?
2) Does DVD Studio read from FCP direct or from exported .dv files?
3) Do I have a choice of using FCP or exported .dv files?
I ask these so I know the right way to approach my FCP project.
Also, if it can use .dv files, then I can outsource the authoring of making the DVD to someone else to save me some time. This is harder to do with the FCP files.
FINALLY...
4) When I used iDVD in the past and dvds I buy in the store, all I could get was about 1 hour on a dvd.
With DVD studio, how can you make a longer DVD that can fit more than 1 hour, as I am making a professional product for duplication.
Thanks sooooooooo much for your wisdom..... john

Hi John - in response:
1) yes, it can certainly do so. However, you can also use a single timeline in FCP, set chapter markers and add the DVDSP meta data (click 'm' twice in the FCP timeline to get the chapter marker window, and add the data there). You might also add the markers when in DVDSP - all fairly easy to do. I often use lots of different FCP clips to make a single track in DVDSP - you have to think of a DVDSP timeline very differently to a FCP one... in DVDSP the timeline can hold completely different films and you use chapter markers to help delineate it all. You only need to use a new track in DVDSP if it helps with the overall structure for the disc, or if you've used 99 chapter markers in the first one already.
2) yes, it can. Using a FCP reference file is possible, as is using an exported .dv file. The difference is a matter of preference, largely. I tend to export out of FCP as a QT self-contained file, encode it using compressor to be mpeg2, and then import into DVDSP. You can, of course, go from FCP directly to compressor without making the QT file. The output from compressor is what you are after for DVDSP - you can use QT or .dv files right into DVDSP, but they get compressed to MPEG2 as the disc is built. The encoder in DVDSP is not a particularly refined tool, and Compressor will give you so many more options, including encoding the audio to AC3 (dolby digital) which is a very important thing to do!
3) yes again... see above? You can't use the FCP project files, you certainly can use other file types, but you really ought to use MPEG2 files from Compressor. You'll get a better looking result.
4) yes... this all comes down to the way the footage is encoded (I'm labouring the point, but Compressor is your friend here again). There are lots of ways you can squeeze more onto a standard 4.37Gb disc - it is easy to get 2 hours on if you know what you are doing. This could be an entire thread of it's own, but the basics are that you need to use Dolby Digital audio (AC3) which has a tiny file size but a decent audio sound. This leaves you with more space on your disc for the video. The more you compress the video (use lower bitrates like 3Mbps) the smaller the file will be, and therefore the more footage you can fit onto the disc.
The problem is that lower bitrates can result in lower quality. This is especially true if your footage includes pans, zooms, shimmering water, leaves on trees, fades and so on. You tend to get blocky areas that look poor. Higher bitrates certainly help, but you get larger file sizes and thus can fit less on the disc... it's always a trade off between file size and quality. With iDVD the encoding decisions are taken for you, and you can't control it, but it fortunately does a pretty decent job.
There is no set or enciding rules that will work for every piece of video you have got, however you can go a long way using variable rate encodes (VBR) that have a range from 4 - 7.4Mbps. In order to know whether the resulting file will fit onto your disc you have to do some good old 'bit budgeting'. There are online tools to help you where you type in the length of your footage in minutes, and the size of your DVD capacity, and it tells you what the bitrate needs to be in order to fit the space available. Be careful though - it cannot tell what your footage is, and you have to preview the results yourself to judge if the quality is right.
A tip is to find the 'problem' areas in the footage, make a short (2mins) clip and encode that at different bit rates. When you find one that works well, use that for all of the footage. As long as you use 2 pass (VBR) encodes in Compressor, it will assign lower bitrates to the easier sections, and higher bitrates to the problem areas.
There are many other encoders out there which are better than Compressor - have a look at Cinemacraft on a PC for a start - but you pay a premium for them. They also take a while to learn, but the trick to making a great looking DVD is to use great looking source footage and encode it well before making the DVD. If you encode as part of making the DVD then you've missed the point and you'll get 'average' results at best!

Assorted basic questions

Hello,
I have recently bought an iPhone, and after reading the User Guide I have many small basic questions. I'm using an iPhone 3GS together with Windows Vista. I wouldn't like to clog this forum with multiple topics about small things, hence everything being here:
1) Is it possible to save .pdf files to the iPhone? I have limites web access, and I often use a few pdf files. I would rather use storage space for them than downloading them all the time (even with cache). If this isn't possible without external applications, which reliable application can save documents such as pdfs and docs to the iPhone?
2) The iTunes Store is not available in my country for buying movies. Given how I'm using Windows, is there any way to transfer movies to my iPhone? Whenever I try dragging a movie to iTunes on my computer, nothing happens.
3) In order to access my work's network from outside computers, we need to set our browsers with specific proxy configurations. Is it possible to set a proxy with Safari? Is there any way of doing that at all with the iPhone?
4) I have began using iTunes in order to move my music to the iPhone, but iTunes and the iPhone automatically organize everything based on song title, while I have organized everything based on filename. Is it possible to make the iPhone and/or iTunes display and order songs by filename? I could manually rename everything, but with nearly 1000 songs...
5) Is there a Find command on Safari, corresponding to control F on other browsers? When reading long pages, I miss being instantly able to locate a specific word.
6) Is it possible to use the recorder built withon the iPhone to record a phone call? Is there any application capable of doing so?
7) I have set my Gmail account to the e-mail function, but I have noticed that, unlike the Gmail website, the e-mail application doesn't keep conversations together (like what the iPhone does with messages, keeping a message and its replies together). Is there any of setting the Mail application to do that?
Thank you.

1. For your pdf and other files I recommend the application Files. Files light is free and has a 300mb limit I think. The paid version is limited by your free space on the phone. It views Excel, Word, PDF, JPG, music, and other files. The transfer is by wireless.
2. Files might work with your movies, but they must be in a format the iPhone supports.
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
6. No, the recording of a phone call is not supported nativly by the iPhone.

What is the fastest video codec to render in premiere?

I'm looking/curious for the type of video codec that premiere renders fastest. Is it, h.264, .mov, .avi, etc...??
I export alot from After FX and i need to cut down on premiere rendering time, so i want to export the video that will render fast through premiere.
My computer is too slow to do dynamic link.
What type of video does premiere render that fastest?

Your Project setting is usually "native". eg P2 mxf, HDV, DV etc... f it matches your source.
ie. match your project to your source and then you are basically "native"
If you import a file of the same type...you are native.
Rendering depends on hardware, effects etc....
CS5 and MPE now provides a realtime edit experience in the timeline without rendering previews (for many fx.)
All exports to a final movie require "Rendering". The speed of that depends on the hardware and effects etc but the quickest is usually if you are rendering a movie that matches your Project.
BTW: you need to think about what the final use of the movie is. That determines what you will export. It may not be the fastest.

AVCHD / "Advanced Video Codec High Definition" & Cheap cams & Linux?

Hi!
A customer of mine seems to have his mind set on the general awesomeness of the "Advanced Video Codec High Definition". I can't seem to understand why anyone would want to have a multi-track video editor work with that random assortment of specs - at least as long as it's coming from a (relatively) cheap cam...
So my first impression: "The cam costs significantly less than 20000$ and therefore the video quality can't really get noticeable worse if one just converts the video files with ffmpeg to whatever '60 minutes of video per CD' format it sees fits".
Am I wrong / missing the point? Do you have any experience with "Advanced Video Codec High Definition" cams & archlinux / gnu software etc that should concern me?
Thanks!

So... does that mean, that usually the cams just encode with one of those "generic-jpeg-intel-codecs" (or don't compress at all) and the client-side software (that isn't used on a linux platform anyway) or something else does the rest? Or what would be a realistic / common scenario?
Also: for someone who didn't pay much attention to "video standards" in the past, just to understand the general principle... which one of the following two is closer to "the truth"?
(a) To ensure high video quality, it needs to be taken care of that in every step between the camera recording the raw video and burning the finished / rendered "movie" onto a portable medium, the software & hardware is capable of working with the advantages of "AVCHD".
or
(b) Someone obviously has been going around putting AVCHD-stickers on random objects and telling people to buy only those. If one just ignores those stickers, everything should be just fine.
And finally: Does anyone have a cam that says its "AVCHD" and used kdenlive or something & other open software to do a DVD of some sort? Was everything in between manageable with a "normal modern desktop pc" (no highend hardware)?
It seems to me like you are looking for some documentations so go there http://www.vcodex.com/h264overview.html and skip to the section 4 "h264 in practice"
Basically h264 advantage is for the same video quality, your clip takes much less space (or for the same space it will have better quality). But it will need more power to decode/encode.
Even a "low-end" camera like for example the Panasonic Lumix TZ7 (one of the best compact I think) offers 9Mbps, 13Mbps or 17Mbps when you record AVCHD. With those bitrates a "generic-jpeg-intel-codecs" will be okay. (actually the generic-jpeg-intel-codecs on the cam is a dedicated Digital Signal Processing chip aka DSP chip)
proposition (a) everything capable of working with AVC/h264 can work with AVCHD, it's just a marketing name, there is no special features.
Ensuring high quality is another beast, online guides and common sense help: the less you convert (colorspace for example) or reencode, the less information you will lose.
(b) AVCHD just means the cam can record in h264 instead of DV or Motion Jpeg.
For your final point, beyond a bitrate of 3Mbps dual-core Core 2 Duo CPU feels really sluggish when encoding to h264 but they are good enough to encode to dvd/mpeg2 format. I can't say about kdenlive/openshot/cinelerra and other NLE though, but every open source NLE can work with AVC-HD (via gstreamer or ffmpeg).
Like Gusar asked, it would be great if you can tell us your workflow.

Can the author please send me an exported version using H.264 video codec

Seems as thou I am having similar problems as other clients are having with movies. My computer guy asked me to ask you this question in the subject line. I have no idea what this means. I sent him a video, he has sound but no video, and he has tried multiple applications, but the results are the same. No video. So, I am suppose to ask the author to send you an exported version using H.264 video codec???? Please help get this resolved!

So, you need to re-export it, this time choosing H.264. What software are you using?

Basic question about storage and safety in iMovie '11

A very basic question about storage and safety:
I want to keep a backup of my raw footage on my external hard drive prior to begin working on the movie in iMovie. I want to do this:
1. Upload the digital files from my camcorder to my Desktop *(as opposed to iMovie)*
2. Duplicate that footage/clips.
3. Put the duplicate clips/footage into a folder labeled with the name of that footage (like "Fun At the Dentist" or "Jimmy Learns How to Yodel").
4. Drag the folder with the footage/clips into my external hard drive into a pre-existing folder titled "Backups/duplicates of all of my raw footage/clips." This big granddaddy folder will house all of the child folders of different movies.
5 Then, open up iMovie '11 and import the raw footage/clips from my Desktop rather than from my camcorder.
6. Then I want to make a duplicate of my finished movie and put it in my external hard drive in a "Finished Movies" folder.
I know that the original raw unedited footage will always be in iMovies '11 but I want the original to also exist immediately accessible in my external hard drive.
QUESTION:
Is this viable? Is it wise? (I know it goes an extra unnecessary step, but aside from that.)
*Do you have any precautionary advice?* Should I do something in my iMovies '11 preferences? What?
In earlier years with iMovie '04 or '06 (cannot recall) I made many novice errors and ended up losing audio to my finished movie. I also lost footage.
This time around with iMovie '11 I don't to make such novice, ignorant errors.
Thanks so much for any comments to this question.

Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

Basic question about NR filter

Very basic question about the (perhaps oversimplified) interface of the noise reduction filter.
Does anyone know definitively whether the first "Strength" slider is a master control for the filter overall (i.e. it controls the power of all other sliders below it), or whether it only affects an individual parameter (such as what might be perceived as luminosity-based noise, rather than color noise)?
In other words, if Strength is set to zero, but Reduce Color Noise is set to 100%, does the color noise reduction effectively become zero or 100%?
Neither the Help Menu nor three of the aftermarket books I have definitively addresses this. There are further redundancies regarding this "Strength" slider when advanced mode is turned on: for instance, if Strength on the "front" panel is set to 0, but 9 on the individual channel panels, what is the effective strength?
Thanks in advance -

Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.

Basic question: Is flat-screen TV + HDMI same as giant monitor on Mac Mini?

This must be an extremely basic question, though I don't see an answer in the Mac Mini FAQs or some initial searches here, so:
I just got a 40" flat-screen TV (1080). If I also get a Mac Mini with HDMI, and if I can avoid the miscellaneous display troubles that I see in posts here, will that TV act the same as a giant computer monitor? Or will it in some way remain inferior (in appearance, performance, etc.) to a dedicated computer monitor? (If so, how and why?)
Thanks much! I'm really curious about this.

Jev, when a DVI adaptor is connected from a computer to a HDMI port, the LCD steps down to emit a DVI signal and correspondingly when a MDP adaptor is connected to a HDMI port, the LCD steps down to emit a HDMI signal.
I have an EX55 Bravia connected MDP to HDMI from a 2009 Mini. The resolution and screen real-estate are perfect but not before I set Cinema at Scenes and Graphics at Video on the LCD and checked Font Smoothing at System Preferences. I can’t remember the font size I capped. The EX emits a HDMI signal. Cinema is great but Graphics are a tad sharp.
On the same floor I run a V40 Bravia connected DVI to HDMI from a 2008 Mini. Graphics is wonderful just like a large monitor without tweaking either the LCD or Mini. Here the V40 emits a DVI signal. Understandably Cinema is not as sharp but Graphics is great.
In essence your TV does not require a DVI input to emit a DVI signal.
Keep us posted.

Writing your own video codec

I've got a requirement to implement a video codec from Symbian C++ in J2ME.
Ideally I'd like to just write the codec and hook it into the MMAPI media player (javax.microedition.media) but this looks doubtful from the specs.
I really don't want to be rendering the frames myself, but if I have to, I will.
Does anyone have any exprience of this? Have you done it? What approach did you use, and even if not, how would you go about it?
Many thanks in advance as always,
Michael

Hi,
The project was called to a halt before I could get into it to any degree that might be useful. The most serious issue we faced when doing basic trials was frame rate, which we were worried about for lower performance CPU's especially.
Not much help, I know. Sorry!
Michael
p.s. Apologies for taking so long to reply. I could not remember my login details!
