Videos too heavy after conversion (Zen V Pl

Hi everybody. I bought a MP3 Player Zen V plus. My problem is that I have to convert the videos before to put them on the MP3 Player. But after conversion, the videos become too heavy, so that I can't by example put a divx movie on the player (If a divx movie is 600 mo before conversion, he is 2 go after conversion.)Can anyone help me ?Thanks. PS : Sorry if my english is bad, I am french and that's difficult for me.

Sorry, I should have included an English version as well.....it basically says try PocketDivx (my preference) or SuperC. I forgot the Zen V Plus uses a uncompressed AVI....the direct copy?option within PocketDivx may work....may not. ---------------- - As HHS points out, the Zen V Plus uses a uncompressed AVI format. If you try PocketDivx, in the advance options, there is a option to direct copy the video and audio stream...this may work. Comme HHS fait remarquer, le V zen Plus utilise un format de AVI sans compression. Si vous essayez PocketDivx, dans les options d'avance, il y a une option pour diriger la copie le vid?o et le ruisseau audio. ..this peut travailler.Message Edited by Locknar on 04-20-200707:4 PM

  • Video bit rate after conversion

    Hello everyone,
    Im wondering, if i have a file of x format, with 50Mb video bitrate, and I convert it using compresor 4 to ProRess 422, the result will give me a video with .mov extentin with video bitrate around 120 Mb, if I convert it to Proress (LT) it will give a result of around 70Mb video bit rate.
    Will the new outputs have true clean bit rate, I mean the margine btwn 50Mb and 120 or 70, will it be showed , so will the new video show a better result, or it will just show same result at 50Mb. 2nd, in case I reconvert from Proress 422 (LT) (70 Mb) to anyformat (not necessarly using cpmpressor 4) to any format havn video bit rate again 50 Mb, will the output be the same of the original 50Mb that had the x

    If you are concerned about this issue, do your own tests.
    Make a copy of a representative sample of your original material in ProResHQ, one in ProRes422 and one in ProResLT
    Put your original in a ProRes4444 timeline in V1 and one of the copies in V2. Apply the difference matte.
    Do you see anything? Do the same process for all three variants of ProRes.
    Now, convert the material to your delivery format and put it back in the ProRes4444 timeline on V1 and one of the ProRes copies on V2 and apply a difference matte. Again, what do you see?
    If you see a solid screen of black, there is no measurable difference between the files.
    If you do see artifacts, do an A/B comparison on a good grading monitor - sometimes stuff that shows up in the difference matte can not be seen by the eye even in dedicated A/B testing.
    Have fun.
    x
    fwiw - all ProRes varients are 10 bit codecs. They are designed to absorb a great deal of editing/compositing without degrading. This is why you want to get any material that was acquired in a long GOP, compressed format OUT of that format as soon as possible if you will be grading, compositing or doing any work beyond simple cuts.

  • Too slow after Yosemite upgrade [info]

    Hello fellows,
    Right After upgrading to Yosemite I started facing an extremely delay almost in everything which I did not face at all before upgrading where they were times that I could use at the same time Chrome, Adobe Photoshop, Word, VMware Machine (Windows7) with insignificant delays:
    On booting a white loading bar appears which takes too long before it loads OSX.
    Almost in every action I take, I see the beachball spinning for too long.
    Sometimes (most of the times) even typing delays a bit and the mouse buttons actions have a remarkable to extreme delay. (No battery or bluetooth problems)
    I tried to take some actions like these ones: http://www.hightechdad.com/2014/10/23/13-tips-optimize-mac-yosemite-installation %20/  & http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/24/speed-up-os-x-yosemite-mac/
    I used CleanMyMac 2
    The general feeling is like having a machine of 90's trying to run an OS designed in 10's.
    More or less my daily usage of applications includes Chrome, Safari, Skype & Microsoft Office. Nothing too heavy most of the time.
    I include EtreCheck report in case it might help:
    Problem description:
    Everything goes slower after upgrading to Yosemite. Also at booting it shows a white loading bar which needs too much time before it initiates OSX.

    Arthur thank you for your response.
    I strongly doubt that CleanMyMac 2 did something bad since I installed it only for this reason and that was today after a week of upgrade, I never had it or knew it before. Also could not do much since I had the demo edition.
    I had the same background processes before upgrading (most of them I need them, except -occasionaly - Flip4mac,Paragon,Akamai)
    Either way there was nothing new installed after upgrading that might caused the issues, so I will wait for other suggestions before doing something more dramatic like reinstalling the OSX from beginning.

  • Fonts Look Too Heavy In Safari

    After installing Lion the way fonts display in Safari especially where they are bold are now too heavy which is closer to how they display on Safari in Windows. This is overdone as they looked better before.

    Actually they are fine now as I hadn't seen that Use LCD font smoothing had been turned on. Now off and back as before.

  • Distorted video - too wide

    I have posted about this on Crackberry.com.  But maybe should bring it up here.
    The main problem is that when viewing a video on my Z10, images are stretched left to right and so people are wider than normal and also objects like buildings, etc also are too wide.  It is less noticeable in landscape screens.  Upon a suggestion I received today, I opened the same video in the Z10's Browser and the video is NOT distorted.  But I think that the app should work properly.
    Here's some extracts from the thread:
    http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-z10-f254/distorted-video-too-wide-849144/
    I copied a homemade mp4 file to the z10 of one of my vacation trips (I create a dvd movie from the digital photos). The image is "widened" and frankly I don't need any help in the WIDENING area. It seems to show correctly on my PB and on my computer. But on the Z10 it is wide. Pinch does not HOLD - bounces right back to wide.
    There does not seem to be a setting to alter this behavior or appearance. If not connected to the tv, the DISPLAY/hdmi setting is grayed out.
    I just created a new video. Since the phone was going downstairs, I copied the mp4 video to the phone. Plugged it into my tv but, once again, the images are distorted - too wide. So the screen is spread left to right and people are too wide. The effect is less noticeable on Scenery but you can see it for buildings and such. And, it is not just on my TV but it is also evident on the Z10, itself. So, the z10 appears to not be displaying the image or video WIDTH correctly.
    I then copied the same video to my Playbook (another BB device) and the video is fine and NOT DISTORTED.
    I am still on the original Verizon bb10.1.xxxxxxxxxxxx OS.
    Any idea if there is a setting on the phone that I am missing.
    **bleep**! I had not thought about opening the video in the Browser. You are RIGHT - the video proportions are correct when opened in the Browser. So this is a definite bug in the Video app's software or settings. Of course, one should not have to go into the browser to view videos because the app is BROKEN.
    I wonder if Kalemsoft or other video apps performs correctly?
    When I first posted the thread, I did not know if it was my desktop software's coding or resolution or .... So I burned off the video in format after format to no avail. I am somewhat surprised that no one else has raised this issue. Maybe I will take it to the official bb forum.

  • Video compression in After Effects

    Hi,
    i have a little problem with video compression in After Effects.When I was looking for example on that video: http://vimeo.com/18672227 the quality in HD is really great. When we was trying to compress our video in After Effects, the best result, which we was able to get, had 80 MB and 18 seconds and the quality was still much worst than like the one which i posted above. 80 MB for only 18 secs of video and with that quality seems too much for me. I really doubt it is normal. Then for example video which i posted above should have 2000 MB and i really don't believe that.
    Is there some way how to get HD quality video for internet streaming with affordable size from After Effect rendering compression? Which settings, formats or codecs I should use? Or do i need some other Adobe program which is builded for this better compressions?

    You are looking for an easy answer where there is none. Yes, there are better tools than AE for final compression like Adobe Media Encoder, but your format will still be H.264. The rest is very much a matter of experience and a combination of settings for data rates, encoding passes and so on plus tricks on how to deal with Gamma shifts and color skewing due to the chroma undersampling. Without seeing the actual footage, nobody will be able to give you any exact pointers, but generally the presets you find in AE and AME will provide a good basis. The rest is just tippy-toeing through the settings and learning by doing. Also do some general research on the matter. Because it is so complex and difficult, this topic is discussed to death on pretty much every forum that deals with video editing, DVD/ BluRay authoring and ripping movies for fun...

  • My videos are missing after downloading iso8

    after I downloaded ISO 8 onto my iPad, I no longer have a video album in my photos.  Does anyone know how I can find my videos?

    That's odd, because I had videos too, and a Video album showed up on my new iOS 8 setup. You might have to go to your backup you did just before doing the upgrade to iOS 8.

  • Music and videos gets corrupted after syncing

    I have been having this issue for quite sometime now. It first started when I was using an old laptop to sync my iPod touch 4th gen. Not just syncing, just transferring music and videos. But the videos get corrupted after transferring the file from the laptop to ipod. I thought it was the cable but as soon as used a faster laptop, the videos were transferred without any corruption issues. I reformattd the laptop as it might have some malware or other softwares interrupting the usb transfer but it still gets corrupted. So I thought, the communication between pc and the new ipod system might be too much for an old intel core duo @ 1.6ghz to handle.
    Now, I am using a laptop with intel core 2 duo @ 2.0ghz. The corruption issue is now returning. The music can be played but when playing, it seems like it's jumping, stuttering or something. Please note that it can be played but it sounded like a bad interrupted download.
    For the old laptop, the videos are usually the ones the gets corrupted. For the new laptop, it happened recently during a massive sync I performed. I wonder if there's a usb buffer thing that gets full.
    Anyway, is there a way to prevent this or check which mp3s are corrupted? I have plan to copy all the mp3s using TouchCopy, then compare the mp3s to my source mp3 using BeyondCompare.

    You can't copy music from a i device to a Mac computer. Only from a Mac computer to a i device. So you will have to copy over your iTunes library from your old computer to your new Mac.

    I got my ipad2 replaced yesterday. And this new ipad started giving me problem by crashing aps. Then I restored the ipad twice but the problem was still there. I called apple and they fixed it by doing Reset All Settings. But now I have this weird problem. When I open Mail the screen flickers random blue and gray appeared on the screen. I took a video too. Will that happen again? Is it hardware problem? This ipad2 32GB was replaced yesterday and I think it is refurbished. Are replace product refurbished?

    There is no way for anyone here to know if your replacement iPad is a refurbished unit.  Per Apple's replacement policy, replacements can be refurbished units.  If you feel the unit is not working correctly, take it back, let them check it out and if found defective, they will replace that unit.

  • My MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) is too slow after installing Yosemite version 10.10.1. All programs take for ever to load especially Safari and even chrome. I regret upgrading to yosemite, it was all fine with Maverick. Any suggestions ? ThankYou

    My MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012) is too slow after installing Yosemite version 10.10.1. All programs take for ever to load especially Safari and even chrome. I regret upgrading to yosemite, it was all fine with Maverick. Any suggestions ? ThankYou

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Can watching videos too often on Macbook Pro "wear down" the screen?

    I watch most of my TV shows on my new macbook pro, and my mother just informed me that if you watch videos too often on a mac, that the screen can apparently wear down and die. Is this true? I'm not sure exactly what she meant by that or what could happen to my computer, but it doesn's sound exactly correct. Thanks!

    Back in "the old days" when we all had green letters on black screens like in "War Games" (Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy) there were problems with "burn in" which was caused by the fact that only certain parts of the screen got used because the displays were text only. This is kind of like a prehistoric version of the problem with early plasma displays. Efforts to save CRT screens led to the creation of the ever-popular "Screen saver."
    Most moms don't track display technology, so the notion remains that all video monitors are just shinier versions of last century's 15"/50 lb. wonders. Not so. Today's monitors will wear out, but most will be killed by their users long before that. Modern monitors CAN go off in color, loose brilliance, etc. over time  but not specifically from movies.  Notice I said movies, not video. The way we use computers these days, pretty much everything is video.
    Keep calm and surf on.

  • Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf

    Page numbers incorrect after conversion from Excel to pdf
    ""This above link (thread:834599) is from a case back in 2011 that claims to solve this problem, but it does not solve this problem. I think that customer only cared about having continuous page numbering, not discrete page numbering per sheet.
    ========================
    I still have this issue in Acrobat XI and MS Office Professional Plus 2010. I keep upgrading to no avail. This regression has resulted in a huge time drain for me. If you fixed it, please explain how I can get my hands on the resolution.
    Previous versions of Excel and Adobe Acrobat enabled flexibility around the "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) token, depending on context and usage. The "# of pages" token could represent EITHER the number of pages in the workbook OR the number of pages in the tab/sheet, depending on how you generated the PDF:
    You could select "Selected Sheets" and then select all or some of the individual sheets in the workbook, and the PDF would honor the discrete numbering of each of the sheets, so the first page of each sheet was p1 and the "# of pages" was the number of pages in the sheet; not the number of pages in the workbook; or
    You could select "Entire Workbook" and the PDF would honor continuous page numbers across all sheets, as a single document.
    Now, it only honors the total number of pages in the workbook, regardless of the method you use to publish to PDF: saving as PDF, printing to PDF, using "createPDF" from Acrobat plugin to Excel's menu ribbon; selecting all sheets, some sheets, or Entire Workbook; automatic First page number or "1" under Page Setup > Page> First page number. (This last option, btw, does restart every sheet at p1, but it hardly makes sense if the total number of pages is still the total number in the workbook instead of the number in the sheet.)
    I spent a lot of time trying each which way that the blog posts recommended and have tried this on multiple versions of Excel and Acrobat now.
    NONE of these time-consuming experiments gave me what I wanted.They all insist that "Page #" of "Number of Pages" (Page &[Page] of &[Pages]) is the total number of pages in the workbook or the total number of pages in the selected sheets combined.
    The numbering are correct in Excel Page Layout.
    The same issue happens when using LibreOffice calc. (Although, I never tested with Libre Office before, so I don't know that it ever worked).
    The workaround now is to create PDF for each spreadsheet one at a time, and then compile them using the Acrobat combine/binder feature. All alternatives are extremely time consuming and tedious. It used to be automatic. This is a major regression that has gone untreated for over a year now, maybe two years.
    My task takes infinitely more time to complete than it did with previous versions of Acrobat. That means that days are added to my project, when the functionality used to enable a quick pdf generation that was ready for review, now I have to do this very manual time-consuming set of steps to generate a draft. As the project has grown and more tabs are added, my pdf-generation task takes that much longer. We require lots of drafts. It used to be easy and fast. Now it is hard and time-consuming.
    In my opinion, the problem is not Excel; it is Acrobat because it was introduced with an upgrade in Acrobat, not an upgrade in Excel. The problem was introduced in Acrobat 9 or 10. Please provide a patch or add-on or something.

    If you are setting up the page numbers in Excel, the resulting PDF would display the the page numbers created in Excel. On Excel 2010 support page, (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/insert-and-remove-page-numbers-on-worksheets- HA010342619.aspx#BM2) is stated the following "tip" which indicates by default Excel 2010 starts numbering each tab with 1. Exel's workaround tip is below - 
    Set a different number for the starting page
    Tip   To number all of the worksheet pages in a workbook sequentially, first add page numbers to all worksheets in a workbook, and then use the following procedure to begin the page number for each worksheet with the appropriate number. For example, if your workbook contains two worksheets that with both be printed as two pages, you would use this procedure to begin the page numbering for the second worksheet with the number 3.
    On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click the Dialog Box Launcher next to Page Setup.
    On the Page tab, in the First page number box, type the number that you want to use for the first page.
    Tip   To use the default numbering system, type Auto in the First page number box.
    Also helpful in the same section is the note on viewing page numbers. To see if the page numbering dilemma originates in Excel make sure you are using the Page Layout View see below:
    Hide All
    If you want numbers shown on pages when you print a worksheet  you can insert page numbers in the headers or footers of the worksheet pages. Page numbers that you insert are not displayed on the worksheet in Normal view — they are shown only in Page Layout view and on the printed pages.
    Overall it may be easier not to create the page numbers in Excel but instead create then in Acrobat using the Headers and Footers option in Acrobat.  I hope this helps - it sounds like a frustrating issue you are experiencing.
