Video Encoding Settings

For the PSPware users, what are your settings to get the most optimal viewing/listening pleasure from your converted mpegs?
Mine is currently on 4:3 and both video/audio quality is at max. However, when I playback the file, I notice that the sound is clipping at the higher frequencies..

Preview Live Video Encoding Settings

I am working with an AS2 application that was put together a while back. The app is used to publish a live video stream to FMS. I am using the Camera class to connect to a local camera (Camera.get()) and to setup the encoding specs for the stream that is to be published to FMS. To preview the camera signal, I am using Video.attachVideo() to attach that camera output to a Video instance on the stage. This is all working greta for me.
But here's the thing. The video stream that is being pumped to the Video instance is the direct signal from the camera. Nice and clean. I seem to remember that there is a way to view the video signal with the encoding settings applied to it. It's just one little line of code, if I remember correctly. However, I can't seem to find the code that will do that.
Can anyone quickly share the code that will allow me to preview the encoded video stream?

Does video encoding settings affect menu quality?

Does selecting Best Performance or Professional video encoding have any affect on the quality of the menu video encoding or does it apply only to the added movies?

Correct video encoding settings to play on ipad?

Here's the settings that my dvd ripper (iskysoft) used to convert a home movie DVD to an "apple TV" format file
file type: .mp4
format: xvid
resolution: 512 x 384
frame rate: 24
bit rate 1500
This file plays fine on the apple tv and itunes, but not on my ipad. It will sync and transfer but when I try to play it on the ipad the video is all messed up.
I tried using the "convert to apple tv/ipad format" but itunes said it was already in the correct settings.
What specific setting do I need to use to convert this file so it will play on my ipad?

These are the required specs.
http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 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; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format.
I use HandBrake which includes default Apple product settings such as iPod with Video, iPhone, Apple TV, and it includes a Universal setting.
Some have reported that using the Handbrake Apple TV setting works, but some have reported it doesn't. I haven't read any reports about the HandBrake Universal setting not working with the iPad.

IPad Full Screen Video Encode Settings

This seems like such a basic question but I can't seem to find it.
I want to transcode a video to play in 1024x768, which is the dimension of the iPad. However one of the presets in AME (CS6) for either Apple or iPad have this setting. What are people doing for full screen playback ?

This preset exists in AME CC but not in AME CS6. It's easy to create your own custom preset for this size however, just open one of the iPad presets set to 1280 x 720, change the frame size to 1024 x 768 and save a copy.

Optimal Video Encoding Settings for Apple TV...

Is Apple TV still limited to 720p, 24 FPS, at 5000 Kbps video bitrate with 160 kbps audio for maximum quality?

JFraser wrote:
Then what's the highest bitrate that's actually supported and how much bandwidth will the Apple TV hog from the network at that level?
as per the advertised specs.
Video formats supported
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels, 640 by 480 pixels, 720 by 480 pixels (anamorphic), or high-definition 720p

Flash video - best settings

I want to find out what the best practice is in creating a
flash video from
an edited video clip for use on the web.
I have edited a video clip down to 5 minutes and have
rendered it to an .avi
file. I then imported the .avi into Flash and have encoded
using:
1. Progressive download
2. On2 VP6
3. 15fps frame rate
4. Medium quality
5. Video size 320x213 (213 comes up when I set width to 320
and maintain
aspect ratio)
6. Audio data rate - 16 kbps
This all works and the quality is fine when I insert the
flash video into
Dreamweaver, but the file size it over 16mb and I've seen
that other people
have file sizes that are 1/2 that for 5 minute videos.
What can I do better and still maintain quality?
Does it matter whether I render as .avi, .mpg, or other?
Should my Flash video encoding settings be different?
Thanks
Susan

Thanks Jose. That was very helpful. I wasn't able to get it
down to 8 mb,
but did but was able to cut down the file size to something
more reasonable
without loss of quality.
Good idea also about testing with a short video clip.

Best Quicktime settings for Video Encoder?

This is to reiterate the issue originally posted under
this
topic.
Summary: CS3 encoded FLV (using Quicktime movie as source)
stops playing halfway through (likely related to the audio)...
Solution: Set audio of Quicktime movie to 44.100 kHz (not
22.050) sample rate before encoding to FLV.
Continued Issue: Is Adobe working on a fix to the Flash
Video Encoder so that all Quicktime settings are supported?
Question: Any recommendations for the "best" Quicktime
video/audio settings (codecs, frame rate, etc.) for FLV encoding to
optimize quality and minimize file size?

Voddie,
I'm definitely no expert; so if others have better info, I
hope they will post too. And the guidance below is from a Mac
perspective.
Using
Quicktime Pro, you can export each movie and adjust the
Options. Under the Quicktime Options (see this
screen
image
for the two settings windows that you will access), the Sound
Options is where you'll set the sample rate to 44.100 kHz, then
save the file(s).
If Quicktime Pro is not available, you might look into
ffmpegX
as an option (though I have not tried this myself).
Note: I read that for version MX, it was recommended that the
Quicktime sound be uncompressed, or encoded using ALaw 2:1 or ADPCM
codecs. I'm not sure if this is true for CS3. Again, I hope others
will chime in.

Need advice on encode settings for Premiere file to be played back on DVD

Hi - hoping someone can help me with my encoding settings. I seem to be on the right track because everything looks good until you play the video on DVD.
I use Windows Movie Maker to encode my exports to DVD. This software does not accept MP4 but it seems to accept a variety of other files and one is WMV. I first exported a WMV clip from Premiere at 1920x1080 (the raw video and graphics are also in that size). Then I exported another WMV clip to 1280x720. I just wanted to see what both of them look like on a DVD during play back.
Here are the export settings:
Here is what the1280 WMV looks like when it's played back on my desktop computer in Windows Media player. As you'll see everything looks very clean:
I then imported the 2 WMV clips into Windows Movie Maker, selected the 16:9 settings, and it encoded them into a finished DVD. I then played the DVD back on my 50 inch TV in my living room. Below you'll see a photo I took of the 1920 clip; notice how the text looks jagged:
Then the photo below of the 1280 clip looks much cleaner.
But obviously I'd like for the finished DVDs to look if possible even cleaner than the 1280 photo above - hopefully like it looks in the photo of the WMV playing back on my computer. These videos will be distributed to different local offices.
Are my WMV settings correct? Should I export to other than WMV? How can I improve on the 1280 DVD photo above so everything looks even cleaner (if possible)? I have Adobe Encore - should I use that instead of Movie Maker?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A DVD is 720x480 so anything larger must be scaled down to be legal according to the DVD specification

Flash video encoder slow

I'm trying to convert a 4.5 minute *.avi to *.flv and am
having some difficulty. Flash Video Encoder says I have about 15.5
hours remaining (am 0.5 hours into the process). That seems wholly
unreasonable given the fact that it took me all of maybe 5 minutes
to save it as an XviD-encoded *.avi with VirtualDub...
Any ideas as to how I can speed this up?

I'm having a similar problem - but my issue has to do with
why the time to encode on my Mac Pro is slower than on my
associate's Power Mac G5.
I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
flv files on a group license. On my station I have the following:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version: 1.7f10
I've got 151 GB available on my system drive.
Presently, it is taking me approximately 2 hours 45 minutes
to convert a 6 minute 26 sec mov to a flv with custom settings of:
Max Date Rate: 300 kbps
Frame Rate: Same as Source
Audio Data Rate: 48 kbps (mono)
500 x 333 pixels.
HOWEVER, on an associate's computer he is able to convert
under the same specs, same files, etc. in 1 hour 40 minutes.
His computer specs are:
Power Mac G5
Processor Speed - 2.3 GHz
2-CPU's
L2 Cache - 1 mb per CPU
Memory - 16 GB
Bus Speed 1.15 GHz
My computer has much more powerful processor, so we're
confused why it's taking longer on my computer.
I also have a second internal drive but presently the
programs and source file are on my system HD. Someone suggested
that I should try to make sure that the Video Encoder has max RAM
allocated to it as well as having the scratch disk and cache set to
the second internal drive. I don't know how to do this or even if
it's possible but looking for advice and suggestions on how to
better optimize the Video Encoder and would appreciate any help
with this ASAP.
Thanks!

CS3 Flash Video Encoder no sound

I have been using the Macromedia Flash FLV encoder for a very
long time, but now that I have upgraded to the CS3 Flash Video
Encoder the video gets encoded but the audio is always missing.
All my settings are the same as they always were and when I
encode an AVI to FLV the audio is missing. How do I fix
this?

I to am having the same problem with the flash encoder. Added
a wmv file and a mov file to the queue and I get the same results.
I do however see the first frame of the movies. Cannot set in and
out points because the first frame displays while scrubbing.

Flash Video Encoder - Sizing Video

Hello
I have an uncompressed video at 720x486. I need to encode it
to Flash video at 640x480. When I import it into Flash Video
Encoder, I use the custom settings to output a 640x480 movie at
30fps and 550kbps using the VP6 codec.
Flash video outputs a 720x486 movie.
What am I doing wrong?
http://www.dorseygraphics.com/forumphotos/flashvideo.png
Thanks,
---------------------S

I've never had a problem with videos not being resized... and
many times
I've made video thumbnails. How are you determining the
output is incorrect
anyway? I'd guess it is your method that is wrong - if the
encoder did not
resize properly this question would come up daily...and it
doesn't.

What are best Mpeg encoder settings for making DVDs?

In switching from PP1.5 to CS3 the procedure is different for making DVDs and we have to encode mpeg files that later get picked up by Encore DVD build proces. What are the best mpeg encode settings for making the DVDs?
Thanks,
Chuck Taylor

Question:
If you are doing a video that is small enough that you are not worried about size, what is the absolute best quality encoder settings? Would a Continous Bitrate result in a higher quality file generally? VBR is for trying to make a smaller file I assume.
I'm frustrated with even white letters on black titles that have some flicker. I just don't seem to get the smooth quality I desire.
Should I look at a different encoder?
If you output PP3 to an AVI and then import it into encore, isn't there a reduction of Q. due to the save to the AVI file?
thanks.

H264 encoding settings - problems with FLV/F4V conversions and playback... HELP!!!

I do a lot of LIVE ENCODING and have been struggling with FMLE. I own the Adobe Creative Suite of applications and am pretty familiar with working with compatible/required formats, etc.
We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but sometimes it works...
Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe Media Player.
I keep hearing H264 encoding will provide better video, but I just can't get that to work. Also, why is it that my entire CS4 suite of applications can't read or playback the F4V file- that's unacceptable from Adobe, just a big huge pain the butt... I've had to buy several cheapie applications to try and read F4V files and try to convert it, except that converting F4Vs seems to be a hit-or-miss.
What should I be using to playback and convert F4Vs? I also heard changing the extension to MP4 works, but I haven't seen that work, not even once. The cheap video conversion apps I have that read F4Vs are: FFMPEGX and Wondershare (Youtube). Sometimes they open F4V, but not most of the time...
I am using a super fast new Macbook Pro i7, 8GB ram (not the thunderbolt/usb3), CPU always runs smoothly and effectively.
Also, I always use the Canopus ADVC-110 as my transcoder. I do both video via Firewire IN or Composite IN, then Firewire OUT into the Mac encoder. FMLE sees it ok, but I wonder if this device might be my problem.
VP6 settings are as follows:
VP6 video / MP3 audio
300 to 500k video
30 fps
640x480 in/out
44100hz audio
56k audio
We want to start using H264 encoding settings, but in my experience trying it out, the output file is ALWAYS PROBLEMATIC. Also, when testing a live stream, the audio seems to fall off sync with the video.
I am looking for your recommendations on the H264 settings I should try. Most of my events are simple meetings with 1 to 5 speakers, mostly talking heads. We rarely encode high motion video, but I would also like to be able to adjust H264 settings for both talking heads and medium to high motion without (any) frame drops.
I have tried streaming to multiple/different Flash Media Servers, archived only to file, and H264 results seem always bad.
Any recommendations from professionals in the live streaming arena are much appreciated. I thank you for your time in advance.
Thank you!
Hugo

Hello Hugo
Sorry to know that you are facing these kind of issues, let me try to reply and understand issues one by one.
>>We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but sometimes it works...
-- Which application you are using to convert FLV to other format?
-- Is these any Audio - Video sync issue when you play FLV file in Adobe Media Player? if NO, it means FLV file created properly.
>> Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe Media Player.
-- Which application you are using to convert FLV to MOV? if FLV playabck fine and without a/v sync issue, it should convert MOV with a/v sync.
-- It depend on audio codec selection by Media player or correct audio codec not installed for media player. Install appropriate audio codec to play in other media player if you dont want to play in Adobe Media Player.
>> I keep hearing H264 encoding will provide better video, but I just can't get that to work.

-- Adobe Flash Media Server version 3.5 and later and Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 can record content in MPEG-4 (F4V) format using an industry-standard recording technology known as "fragments" or "moof atoms." Some MPEG-4 compatible tools and players do not support moof atoms.
The F4V Post Processor tool aggregates the information from all the moof atoms into a single moov atom and outputs a new file." You can download the tool from above location: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/tool_downloads/

Encoding settings on Imovie...Help please!

I wonder if someone can help. I have made a video for the school that is 4.2 GB heavy, dvd is 4.7 GB and iMovie says it's too big to burn. It tells me to change encoding settings but I don't want to loose quality. Has anyone got any suggestions please? Will changing to High quality or professional quality affect the quality of the DVD? Thank you very much for your help. Regards, Aida

iDVD encoding settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1502?viewlocale=en_US
Short version:
Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced two-pass technology to encode your video (The first pass determines which parts of the movie can be given greater compresson without quality loss and which parts can’t. The second pass then encodes those different parts accordingly) , resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned about the time taken.
In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.
