What are the movie to iPod video settings?

I wonder, what are the exact video settings corresponding to selecting "Movie to iPod" when exporting?
The settings left to consider for Movie to MPEG-4 when using H.264 320 x 240 are:
Bitrate: ? kbps
Optimized for: CD / Fetch / Stream
Frame rate
Sync every ? frames
And the advanced video settings:
Limit description to: Main, Extended, Baseline
Encoding: Best / Fast

After a bit of testing I think that a video rate of 622 kbps is used when selecting the internal Movie to iPod export option.
This results in 750 kbps when audio is 128 kbps.
Short videos in iTunes Music Store use 622 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Billie Jean and Bad, Pixar For the Birds).
Longer videos used 570 kbps video rate (Michael Jackson Thriller, ABC - Lost).
However my original question was what settings to use to match the Movie to iPod export option.

What are the specs for iPod video

i wish to manually convert .mov (video with audio) to vPod format.
anyone know where there is a list of the specs required, movie size, format, audio format?
i'm trying to figure out the following:
i have two movies of like nature. i drop ,them both in iTunes. i tell iTunes to convert for iPod and it says one does not need conversion. i am trying to figure out why the other does. they are both 44.1/h.264.
what is the movie size spec and all the specs for QT to vPod conversion? (i want do to it manually.)
i think i have it, is this correct: 320x180 (16:9). i assume vPod can play both 48.hz audio and that that does not have to be converted to 44.1 (both aac)?

QT Kirk is simply saying
you can make the file you dropped on the script in
order to make it uneditable editable once again by
loading the file in a hexidecimal editor utility and
"zeroing out" the code that makes it uneditable.
yes, i wanted to know which file to edit the script or the 'locked' movie --the .mov, thanks.
.mov
Format: AAC,Stereo (L R), 44.100kHz, H.264 Decoder,
391 x 216, Millions
FPS: 29.97
Data Size: 58.25
Data Rate: 536.90 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 391 x 216 pixels
Current Size: 391 x 216 pixels
(Actual)
The information cited does not include information regarding
the H.264 profile used to create it. If created using the QT
"Movie to QuickTime Movie > H.264" export option,
then the file would not be iPod compatible since this
workflow employs the "Main" profile. In a similar
manner, if the file was created using the QT "Movie
to MPEG-4" Export option, it would have been created
using either the "Main" or "Baseline" profile.
However, based on your dimensions, iTunes expects the
file to be created using the "Baseline Low Compexity"
profile and proceeds to correct the situation.
how can you do that via QTP expert options? if you can. i create a lot of web movies and wish to 'feed 2 birds with one piece of bread'. (i like birds.
if these are the only
conversion for iPod tools apple offers...
why?
QT Pro/iTunes currently
offers the use of two H.264 iPod compatible,
automatically adaptive workflows (Baseline LC and
Baseline) and QT Pro additionally offers one full
manual iPod compatible H.264 workflow (Baseline
profile) and one full manual MPEG-4 workflow. As to
why the QT "Movie to iPod" and iTunes workflows are
auto-adaptive, most users simply want to have iPod
compatible files when they want them and don't want
to learn how to make them properly with respect to
each compression format and/or profile requirement
and/or special case considerations (dimensions, data
rates, frame rates, key frame frequency, aspect
ratio, macroblock efficiency considerations, etc).
yes, i wish to... well, i said that above, create web and ipod in 'one fell swoop'. i suppose these ipod auto-adaptive modes will work for web, but i'd rather use the expert options. i would like to "learn how to make them properly".
> ok .m4v is h.264.
Rather loosely stated. The
".m4v" extension refers to the file container while
H.264 refers to the actual video compression
algorithm. In this case the H.264 video format is
specifically stored in this file container. One the
other hand, the ".mp4" file container is a more
generic MPEG-4 file container commonly used for
either MPEG-4 or H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) video compressed
files. And, at the other end of the scale, the ".mov"
file container is the most generic since it can
basically contain any "supported" compression format
to include either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC iPod
compatible files. One key to remember here is that
file containers, like the compression formats that
they can contain, have specific "characteristics."
For instance, ".m4v" and ".mp4" file containers can
have one external piece of graphic "artwork"
associated with it (as seen in iTunes), but the
".mov" container cannot.
i did not know that .mp4 also served for h.264. the graphic container of .m4v i had sort of noticed, however i did not or had not for .mov, thanks.
Your file did not conform to
the required "Baseline LC" profile and so iTunes
converted it. Since the "LC" profile defaults to a
video data rate on the order of 1500 Kbps, your file
size was nearly doubled for the specific duration of
your clip.
i'm not sure i understand why my data rate was converted where a lesser data rate was not. (536 vs. 262)
thanks very much for this 'training'.

With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

With Premiere Elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Aspect and Codec settings , for a crisp video with a small file size?

Gary Krouse
We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
Thanks.

What are the correct Premiere Pro CS4 settings for producing WMV/MP4 to FLV/F4V videos?

Greetings.
I have recently purchased CS4 Production Suite. My task is to convert WMV/MP4 videos to FLV/F4V videos that contain titles, transitions, and credits for streaming from Flash Media Server.
My test videos are experiencing audio sync issues when using Adobe Media Encoder as the export tool. When I use Flash Video Export tool using the source WMV/MP4, I do not experience sync issues.
I can control the WMV/MP4 output settings since we record our own sessions using Windows Media Encoder. I can also utilize Flash Media Live Encoder to capture the source.
The video source comes from a video capture card (Osprey) that is connected to an IP based camera(s) which are controlled by video technicians.
We record from that capture card into WMV format.
My question is, what are the settings in Premiere to produce FLV/F4V for streaming in 480p quality?
I am new to video production and gladly appreciate any assistance.
Regards,
Shack

Caveats: NONE
Jim,
Thank you for your response. I am a total noob at video, but have the requirement to produce recorded video to our FMS servers.
Here is my situation. We have classrooms and auditoriums hard wired with IP cameras. Our video techs can record to DVR and then finalize to DVD (VOB). We also have a control center that can capture those cameras using Windows Media Encoder to record.
I have been given CS4 to produce these videos. Each time that I transcode, the audio gets out of sync. I am trying to figure out a suitable way to take VOB and WMV files into PP and output to FLV/MP4.
Appreciate any advice...

What are the differences between iPod 2nd and 3rd Generation models?

Hi:
I have a couple questions about the differences between some of the iPod Touch models:
1) What is the difference between the *2nd Gen 8GB iPod touch* and the *3rd Gen 8GB iPod touch?*
2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
Thanks!

none, really.
2) What are the differences among the *3rd Gen iPod Touch 8GB* model and the *32 GB and 64 GB models* (other than the memory differences)?
the 32 & 64 GB models have advanced hardware components. 32GB and 64GB Touches gain 3GS specs - roughly 2x faster, with more advanced 3D graphics for games that capitalize on OpenGL 2.0 - and features like Voice Control.

What are the correct setup and system settings for importing HDV video from tape?

I keep trying different "easy setups" and system settings/preferences in order to import both the audio and video from HDV recordings on miniDV tape to no avail in either FCE4 or FCP5. I import via firewire from the camera. My computer "sees" the camera and controls playback (I can hear the audio) but no video displays for capture (just color bars).
My camera is a Canon Vixia HV40 and my computer is a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I've tried the HDV easy setup...no video...
I've tried HDV 1080i/60 as I saw recommended somewhere else...no video...
Captures standard video just fine but I'd like to try editing some higher def footage.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

The combination of all these helpful ideas solved the problem.
I set AV settings to HD and Apple Intermediate Codec HDV 1080i/60 AND set the cameras output to "locked" HDV. Funny, it had been on "A" (Auto) before and should have simply sensed the need for HD output. I then tried to capture using "A" again and this time it detected the difference between SD footage and HDV footage (I had clips of both kinds on the same tape).
I ran similar capture tests on FCP 5.1, FCE 4, and FCPX and all three programs captured HDV video and audio.
Thanks again everyone. Be sure the camera is set to output HDV or "A".

What are the Best Web File Export settings?

I am running Premiere Pro CS3 on Win XP SP3, 4 GB RAM. I have tried several settings exporting a 2 1/2 minutes movie trailer to Windows Media Player, .flv, Quicktime, and Real Video files, so that I can add it to a web site for downloading. Of course, all of these are compressed files. I've tried very many settings but am having trouble getting a relatively good quality resolution file that is small enough to load fairly quickly. The best file is a Quicktime file. However, even though the movie plays in a small window, it is 41 MB (a big file).
Please share any settings that have produced a good quality file under 10 MB.
Thanks,
Linda

> You just need to use a larger file or settle for less quality
This is not always exactly true. There are many things that can affect the perceived quality. In Premiere's case:
1.) Deinterlacing: If your sources are interlaced, Premiere (by default) will deinterlace them before scaling down for web export. Premiere's deinterlacer is as bad as it gets. If you are doing a ratio >= 2:1 (such as 480i -> 240p) it is probably better to untick the "deinterlace" checkbox, as the line-pairs will be blended on output anyway because of the large scaling ratio.
2.) Soft scaling: Premiere's Bicubic resampling is not really ideal for large ratio reductions. Unfortunately, there is not much way around this without using other tools.
3.) Noise: Video noise can greatly reduce the efficiency of encoding -- and therefore, when using a set data rate, it makes lowers quality output. Premiere does have a noise reduction filter option in AME, but it is quite slow and not the most sophisticated solution. You may want to experiment with it anyway: It can potentially make low bandwidth encodes look much better.
4.) Frame rate: It seems like a basic concept, but many people forget that you can greatly increase your spatial quality by reducing the frame rate. If you can live without the motion smoothness of 30 fps, you can get much higher quality with 15 fps at the same data rate.
5.) Two-pass Encoding: Unfortunately, Premiere does not have 2-pass for FLV VP6 which, IMO, is probably the "best looking" web output. You should look at other tools like Sorenson Squeeze or On2 Flix. In these cases you'll need to export a lossless intermediary AVI file to maximize quality.

What are the best import and export settings? I'm losing lots of quality in iMovie...especially in the shadows?

I am creating timelapse videos using Quicktime pro's Image Sequence. I then save them and import them into iMovie. Problem is...when I bring them into iMovie...I lose tons of quality it seems. The shaddows get all blocky and pixelated? Then when I export the movie...it's even worse. I'm creating this footage from images taken on a Nikon D3s so the footage should be CRYSTAL clear...and IS in Quicktime Pro at the beginning...but when it's brought into iMovie it's like it gets all compressed etc. How do I create beautiful stunning footage that doesn't look compressed and pixelated? Thanks!

What are the best sequence presets and settings to use in FCE for the best resolution with the least amount on strain on computer?

Hello!
Can someone please help me figure out the best settings to use in order to obtain the best resolution in FCE4 for a television show that is going to be sent out on full size Sony DVcam tapes, with 4:3 aspect ration and audio output at 48kHz? I am currently working with mixed media sources in Final Cut Express, and I am wondering what the best settings (presets and preferences) are, in order to provide the HIGHEST resolution possible, while putting the least amount of strain on my computer system?
I am importing mini DV-standard definition footage and still photos (from Canon Rebel camera, HD CMOS Canon camcorder that records in 1440x1080 at 48 kHz, and cell phone photos). For voiceovers I use the tools in FCE.
I use Voltaic (which I use thanks to recommendations from Apple discussion boards, love it!) to convert the footage from the HD CMOS-Canon HD VIXIA (HG 20) camera, and then I am using print to video to output onto Sony DVcam tapes (full size). This is for delivery for a television network that broadcasts in Standard Definition, so I need to produce the highest resolution and best quality possible that also puts the least amount of stress on my computer system.
If anyone has any recommendations, help, or sources that can help me answer this question I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you!
Susan Kayne

This is happening because your video clip properties do not match your sequence settings. This is always a problem when you try to insert video from multiple camcorders/cameras (that use different video codecs, frame sizes & rates) in a single sequence.
It will help a lot if you provide more specifics - what FCE easy setup did you use to create your sequence? For your DV footage, are you using standard 4:3 DV or anamorphic 16:9 DV clips?
If you plan to export to standard def (DV/DVCAM) and are mixing DV from a miniDV camcorder, stills, cell phone images and AVCHD then I would suggest that you use the DV NTSC easy setup for your sequence. Use MPEG Streamclip or similar utility to convert your non-DV video (your AVCHD video) to QuickTime/Apple DV-DVCPRO NTSC. Then all your video will match your sequence settings. Yes, you will have to crop the AVCHD footage to 4:3 and you can do that in MPEG Streamclip.

What are the Telstra 4G LTE APN Settings?

Does anyone know what the APN Settings are for this device:
http://www.telstra.com.au/bigpond-internet/mobile-broadband/bigpond/

These APN's were generally used with the older data devices (PCMCIA and PCIe cards for eg) with the older data plans where you would have correlating codes on the account (pcpack/datapack codes). Still able to be used to some extent I believe but I stopped using them for APN's years ago now. Much more simplified with just the two telstra/BP APN's

What are the dimensions of these videos?

I am curious what the physical dimensions of the videos embedded on this page are:
http://www.izzyvideo.com/
They are encoded as Flash video. Does anyone have any idea how to figure this out?
Thanks.

Heya Rick,
1.) you don't need PS to take a screen shot. Just keyboard command shift/Comman/4 to make your pointer turn into a marquee that you click/drag to take a screen shot. The screenshot appears as a png file on your desktop. Right click the screen shot and "get info" to find out the dimensions.
2.) The files are encoded as h.264 and the file extension is replaced as .flv to make it play in JW Player. The download links on the site are clues. The web master didn't need to change the file extension though - JW Player can play h.264 natively. If you download the files by right-clicking the download links and selecting download linked file from the site you can study the compression used. Just look at the bit rate in Quicktime player or by "Get Info". It looks like the videos are around 1,500 kbits/s bit rate.

What are the correct domain settings @ Go Daddy?

I will set up a Mac Mini Lion Server using server assistant. I bought a domain name from Go Daddy. What are the correct domain (DNS, host) settings @ Go Daddy - need step by step guide; thanks in advance.

I do not fully understand how the PTR pointer works
PTRs map IP addresses back to hostnames - also known as 'reverse DNS'.
The way it works is that when you (or any client) looks up an IP address they first query the root servers that maintain a map of the main IP address allocations. You then query the server that's authoritative for the IP address in question. That server may respond, or may further delegate responsibility to another server.
As an illustration, imagine a company - MegaISP - who's been allocated a large block of IP addresses - say 1.0.0.0 through 1.255.255.255. As an ISP they provide access service in all 50 states so they may further subdivide their network into chunks and delegate control of each chunk to a different server, e.g. 1.1.0.0 - 1.1.255.255 -> CA, 1.2.0.0 - 1.2.255.255 -> NY, etc.
Now you, as a customer of MegaISP, connect to their server and are allocated a dynamic address from the 1.2.0.0 - 1.2.255.255 subnet - let's say 1.2.3.4
When you perform a reverse lookup on 1.2.3.4 your query first goes to the root servers which say something like 'hey, those IPs are owned by MegaISP's DNS servers, so go ask them'. You then query MegaISP's main servers which then say 'hey, that IP is somewhere in the New York subnet, so go query the New York DNS server. Your query then goes to MegaISP's New York server that replies something like 'host-1-2-3-4.ny.megaisp.net' and that' your reverse lookup.
(of course, this is greatly simplified, and the whole process takes a fraction of a second, but hopefully you get the idea).
The problem you now have is that MegaISP have no idea what services you're running on your connection, so they just return a generic response (e.g. host-1-2-3-4.ny.megaisp.net) and not something that relates to your domain (e.g. www.yourdomain.net). Nobody knows to ask your DNS server what hostname your IP address should map to.
In order for that last step, MegaISP either have to change their DNS servers to map your IP address to your domain name rather than the generic hostname, or they have to further delegate your IP address's lookup to your own server (i.e. add another link in the chain - like 'hey, that IP address is delegated to yourdomain.net, so go ask their server').
Most ISPs are happy to either delegate or have a custom entry for your domain, but not on dynamic or residential-grade connections - it's not worth the time and effort to keep it up to date as your IP address changes, which is why it's typically only something that comes with business-grade services.
and what limitations this will lead to
Any service that relies on valid reverse DNS is doomed to fail. For the most part, http doesn't matter/care, but don't expect to run a mail server or certain other services.
