Video Encoding Time

My original video source is 1280x688, 2600 kbps bit rate and I wanted to convert it to Ipad maximum 1024x768 resolution. I used WinX HD Video Converter which has options to use ipad output.. It took 24 minutes just to convert 5 mins of the 90 minutes source... meaning, it would take over 7 hours just to convert a video source to ipad maximum resolution (lowering it would produce low quality video and you got an ipad to avail of its increased resolution). My output setting is 1000 kbps, video frame rate 29.97 and resolution 1024x768. Audio output is 128kbps, 44100 Hz. My computer is Core 2 duo 1.8 Ghz. How about you. What kind of computer do you use and how long is the encoding time? What settings do you use and most important.. what is the maximum video setting possible in the Ipad that can play it nicely or optimumly?

I have a turbo264hd, use hadbrake, videomonkey.
If it's hi def, I go with the turbohd.
Try setting to 960x540.
Good middle ground for high def stuff. You get no benefit on a 10" screen watching high def over a lower resolution with decent bit rate.

Flash 8 Video Encoder - Optimizing Conversion Time

I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
flv files. 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!

Flash Video Encoder Quit Unexpectedly

I have an Intel iMac and when I first loaded my Adobe Suite
everything worked fine, but then the Flash Video Encoder stopped
working with "Flash Video Encoder Stopped Unexpectedly" and I
cannot get it to work again. I deleted the files and reloaded the
program from the original DVD and that did not work.
When I was setting up a new user on my iMac, I tried running
the Flash Video Encoder in the other user and it ran fine, but when
I returned to the main user, it would not start and gave the same
error. I'm relatively new to Macs - a bit more than a year - so I
suspect it is some setting or preference or something that I have
wrong.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
-Brian-

I am getting the exact same error on my windows vista x64.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling quite a number of
times with no luck. I don't believe it is anything done wrong but
has to be some kind of bug in the installation somewhere.
Also any help would be appreciated.

Live Video encoder for Mac. Does it exist?

Looking to d a live video stream. Would like to use Vp6 I do not think Adobe had a Flash video encoder for the mac.
As always, thanks for your time and help.
Mike

There is no Airscan :-)
but you can scan wirelessly on any your OS compatible network scanner of MFP printer with a scanner.
This has to be connected to your network either via WiFi or Eth cable.

How video encoder continunously

Hello everyone!
I have a ADSP BF533 EZ kit lite and labview embedded for blackfin 2.5 module. I would connect Analog video input(composite video) and capture video frame then display on the my car GPS navigation with A/V input by running Videoecho example.
I was successful to build this example and i can see video displaying on the navigation. But something i would know more:
1. the video displayed is not continunously. I can see when i reduce the time delay for display it can change displaying faster. but it alway dispeared a blank frame before starting new frame.
2. I am thinking that mean when Video Encoder actived, Video decoder was not actived? Am i right?. I want to display continunously the video. how i can do?
3. Could i add any image processing algorithm in catched frame buffer then redisplay on the display?.
Here is code for pepople viewing.
Thank you so much for attention and please post your idea if it is possible!
Do Van Lam!

Hello !
It is me again!
I would like to ask anybody that can i use BF_VideoEcoder(decoder)_enable(disable) for ADSP BF537 EZ kit lite. And can i config PPI0 for decoder and PPI1 for Encoder by using AV EZ extender board? beacause ADSP BF533 has only one PPI so that is might be the reason in my above post.
I have ever test with VideoEcho example for ADSP BF537 EZ kit lite by creating new project and config hardware for BF537 EZ kit lite and copy code to new VI and modify LED on/off control VIs for BF537. but te video out but dit not apeared.
Could anybody help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much!

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.

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.

Flash Video Encoder Error

I have Studio 8 and am trying to use Flash Video Encoder for
the first time to convert a wmv file to flash. When I add the video
and seek to start the queue, I get an error message which reads,
"The output file could not be written because you do not have
enough system privileges." I'm really green at this - can someone
help? Thanks so much.

I used to get this issue when I was trying to pull info
directly from cd-rom. Copy information locally and then try to use
flash encoder..it should work. let me know

Canon AVCHD 30p vs. 60i, encoding times?

I just picked up a new Canon HF-M41 video camera and am presented with the dilema of shooting in either 60i or 30p AVCHD. On this camera, the 30p is 'recorded' at 60i but saved as 30p.
I am literally stuck on the frame rate selection screen of the camera, not certain which frame rate I should go with.
I do most of my publishing to YouTube and to DVD. It seems like 30p would be a better format for me to work with natively on the camera, but I'm not sure how Premiere handles 30p from Canon. Since the video has been shot 60i and then wrapped as 30p, has anyone had enough experience with this to tell me if Premiere does a good job of handling this kind of video?
Alternatively, if I stick with 60i that will allow me to burn blu-ray video in the future. I definitely like that idea. But, if I take 60i video into premier, edit it, then encode it as 29.97 progressive for YouTube what kind of extra encoding time would I be looking at? Twice as long as it would take to encode 30p from the camera? What does THIS video look like? Would it look better or about the same as having done the same process with PF30 shot on the camera itself.
I'm sure many of you have already figured out the best frame rate (60i or PF30) on Canon camcorders when it comes to working in Premiere. If you have any advice please let me know.

I don't like the idea of locking myself out of future Blu-ray authoring (or needing a conversion to make it work). If it were me, I'd stick to shooting HD at Blu-ray legal specs. At 1080, that means 24p or 30i only.

How can I shorten the video rendering time in PS CC2014?

9 minute video just took 22 hours to render - 2.5 hours per video minute! 2 camera operation, all clips as Smart Objects and separated into 2 video groups, Camera Raw Filter edit for color control and sharpening, several clips have Transform cropping, audio within 1 video, no keyframes, output converted from 1080p to 720p so lots of stuff going on. 2-year old pc, 16GB RAM, 10GB RAM allocated to PS, 8GB RAM in use; 4-core i7 processor at 35% utilization, no network activity. 3 minute videos took only 1 hour per video minute. Premier not an option. Increasing RAM allocation is one guess. Thanks.

If you delete the two Camera RAW Smart filter adjustment layers. How long does it take to render the video. I don't know if Camera RAW color correction is going to be beneficial for video NTSC, Pal etc. Video encoding and compression only has full frames sever so often in a video stream most frames are just differences so I don't know how effective sharpen is for Video. Perhaps Smart object and smart filters are just increasing processing time and not adding great value. Considering Digital Video Camera can encode video in real time. Also the video you get from a Digital Camera is Process video may be encoded with Motion Jpeg or some other some other video encoding. How well can it be sharpened and color corrected. Transforming and Cropping does not need to be done using Camera RAW as a smart Filter.

OS X Lion Video Encoder Not Working

I don't know what the problem is. I was super excited for the video encoder that came standard with Lion because I have an Apple TV, and I figured it would make converting videos much less of a headache. I apparently thought wrong. I've been very frustrated trying to get it to work. Trying to convert some .avi files I get an error, which says something about not being able to open the source. I can't even get it to come up right now.
I tried to encode a .mp4 file assuming that it would definitely work because, unless I'm thinking wrong, this format is compatible with Macs. This didn't seem to do anything at all except produce a .m4v file that didn't do anything. My assumption was that it was maybe still converting, but there was nothing to indicate that so I deleted that file. Then tried it again, and it did nothing. Then tried again to convert the .avi file so that I could see the error and post it here, but again, it did nothing so I couldn't post the exact error.
Okay so just got the error, and it says:
avconvert: source file not found for source file: (lists file location)
avconvert: failed to create an Export Session.
Check Setup.
Any help or leads at all would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

Ahh, I'd forgotten about that feature since it is not really that easy to find and I always use MPEG Streamclip which does an outstanding job. However, I just tried it with a 10 sec intro I had (the only .mov I had available) and it did not work either. I'll be sending in a feedback - may i suggest you do the same.
In the meantime, try MPEG Streamclip - I've used it for a long time.
Here is the (strange) error I got:

H.264 encoding time saver

I don't know if this has been discussed elsewhere, and I don't know if everyone reading this will go, "well duh!" but I discovered something last week that made a big difference in how long it takes my system to encode H.264 files.
I have a lot of clients who want their videos on YouTube, which is why I create a lot of H.264 files. Usually, in my Media Encoder H.264 settings, I select the YouTube SD preset (all my video is SD), which works very well. But by making a simple tweak to the preset values, I cut the encoding time in better than half. The preset has a frame rate value of 30 FPS. Changing that value to match my video (29.97 FPS) made all the difference in the world.
I have a 3:12 project that consists of simple cuts. No transitions and no effects. With the standard YouTube H.264 preset, this took 5:12 to encode. By changing the frame rate to 29.97, the encoding only took 2:11!
J. D.

thanks for info ! Usually it is kinda normal that the workflow is just like you said...your project settings match the video "source" material. and the export matches the project settings ( as much as possible, as of course some things change ( size of frame ...maybe you have to go to interlaced or progressive etc) ..but generally frame rate is kept the same....
once you get your settings good ( adjusting the default preset values ) you can then "save" that as your own new preset...customized...and then you dont have to keep changing it...you could label it MYH264-YOUTUBE-SD...or something ...

Video Encoder can't read MPEG-2 video track

I've recorded some MPEG-2 videos from a new Sony camcorder,
and I can't turn them into FLV files using Flash CS3 Video Encoder.
Each time I open the settings window, it says "This file has no
readable video track."
However, the mpeg's play fine on ALL my media players (Real,
Windows Media Player, etc.).
I've found a workaround -- I have to use some freeware to
convert the MPEG-2 files into MPEG-4 files, and then the encoder
can read them. But I'm still mystified as to why the Adobe encoder
won't read the MPEG-2's.
Any ideas?
Peter

I wrote an article on MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 usage in Flash Video
encoders on Community MX. It's a free article, and it might help
you get your MPEG-2 encoded without any transcoding to MPEG-4. If
you have any questions after reading the article, let me know:

Flash Video Encoding Bit Rate

Hi All,
I have been working with Flash video telephony for many years now and its great to see AEC, AGC (acoustic gain control), UDP and H264 have arrived.
I spend much time simulating network conditions and devising algorithms which can produce video quality equal to Skype.
There are plenty of stats availabile (packet loss, in/outbound bit rate, frames dropped and so on) BUT....
The big issue is the inability for the flash video encoder(s) (H264 seems no better) to obey the target bit rate.
Rather than address this I believe Flash chooses to drop frames when it detects issues in local upload congestion.
However the ability to match the receivers download requirements is not possible. The encoder frequently bursts way above the configured bit rate resulting in packets loss or latency (UDP vs TCP). We end up having to go well below the target bit rate to compensate and take in to account that the higher the encoding quality the more likely flash is to burst over the specified rate. The whole effort is wasted unless this is addresses and Flash 11/H264 is worse than before.
If we have grossly overlooked something or you would like to see a link to a working example of the problem please let me know.
Kind Regards
Ben Weekes

Hi Ben
Could I see a link to a working example please?
