What Datarate (kbit/s) to choose in my situation

HY,
I have a Canon HG20 AVCHD Cam which shoots at 24mbit. When I cut my video in iMovie I'd like to export it to mp4 with h.264.
I choose export using Quicktime conversion; format MPEG-4; under file format select MP4; under video tab select H.264; 1920X1080HD
AND THEN
i can choose the datarate. Should I go for 24000 kbit/s because the Cam recorded AVCHD in 24 mbit...or should I choose a lower kbit/s value?
I prefer a good quality!
Thank you!!

Hy,
today I tried exporting my 30 Minute Movie. I chose the settings i mentioned above with a bitrate of 24000 kbit/s. After rendering for over 2 hours and 100% it gave me the following error saying that the movie could not be exported. Error (-2125)
Then I chose a bitrate of 18000 kbit/s..and it works... 20000 and 22000 also works. Why doesnt 24000 work?
I have a TB HDD so space should not be the problem. The files have a filesize of about 3,5 to 4 GB.
Edit: I tried a short clip of 5 minutes lenght with a bitrate of even 26000 kbit/s...which works...hmm strange..
THX

  • What can the form do in the real situation?

    I am planing to learn form develop. But, I am wondering what the form can do in the real situation. I did not do such work before. So I do not know what the form can do in the real world.
    Such as, in the all kinds of webpages, there are a lot of tables which include data from database. Are those tables made by oracle form ? what else can form do ? Basiclly, oracle form just develop tables and publish in the webpage? Is that correct?
    thanks

    Forms can do lot of things. Question is, what do you want to do with it :)
    Oracle forms is a very good tool in creating enterprise applications quickly and efficietly. It is very tightly coupled with the Oracle database.
    It's not only web pages, where this is used. We've our own interconnect manager product, (used for network billing) developed entirely in oracle forms.
    Only thing, it lacks is a little bit of look and feel which can also be significantly enhanced using java beans etc.
    So, tell me if u want to develop a particular thing and then may be we can tell if, if it is possible to do using forms or not?

  • When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in, but always the same album (which I nevr asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I control what is going on and choose the album myself.

    When I listen to music on Apple TV 2 my pictures from iPhoto come in aafter about ten minutes, but always the same album (which I never asked for), always in random order and always in a different format. How can I choose a different album myself and control the order and format?

    Thank you Winston for a helpful response and for reminding me of something which I found nearly a year ago and then lost (in my mind) because I did not use it. I am grateful for a correct answer but it still only achieves part of what I wanted.
    I can now choose my photos, decide how long they stay on screen and choose one of a variety of presentations. Two things I still can't do.
    One is to get it to play the photos in the chronological order in which I have carefully set them in an album; it still tends to be random and repetitive. The other is that I cannot get any of them them to saty on screen for more than about 20 seconds. I guess this is all due to the way Apple TV is constructed.
    But still thanks, nevertheless.

  • What happened to easy column chooser?

    In iTunes 12, it looks like they took away the easy checkbox panel for choosing columns in playlists (formerly accessed by command+J).
    Now, when you hit command+J you get the "view options" panel, then you have to pull down the "show columns" dropdown menu over and over to add or remove columns - many of which are nested in additional flyout menus (e.g. personal).
    So, the functionality is still there, but you have to use many additional clicks to do the same job.
    What gives?
    Am I missing something?
    Seems like a small thing perhaps - unless you manipulate playlists a lot (like me).

    KT,
    Under "Responding", I have "Quote the text of the original message" and "Increase quote level" boxes checked.
    I also have the "include selected text..." radio button checked.

  • Ps CS6 Laptop - What Hard Drive should I choose?

    I'm going to be ordering a laptop for work very soon. I will need a laptop for travel and my company orders through Dell. Basically here is my build so far (below). I have read so many forums and articles about hard drive setups. But I'm limited to a laptop so I need to prioritize! Please offer some advice on my build so far, best Hard Drive, and any room for improvement, or even where I might have overkill (is that possible? haha). I get one internal hard drive and I want to choose the best one for my application. I will be working with files for print. I believe up to 48" x 64" x 600dpi multiple layers. I'm going to max out RAM to reduce scratch disk necessity. Also, when docked I will have dual 22" monitors.
    15.4” Dell Precision M4700 Mobile Workstation
    Win 7 Pro, 64 bit
    Photoshop CS6
    Intel i7 Processor 2.8GHz
    NVIDIA Quadro K2000M w 2GB GDDR3
    32 GB RAM
    Hard Drive Options:
    512GB 2.5" (SATA3) Mobility Solid State Drive (very expensive)
    256GB 2.5" (SATA3) Mobility Solid State Drive (expensive)
    1TB 2.5" 5400rpm Hard Drive
    750GB 2.5" 7200rpm Hard Drive
    Thoughts? Thanks so much!

    Ok here's the problem its either 3 drives, no optical media, RAID  ***OR*** 1 drive, no RAID. I can't have 2 drives becuase I get the following "error" when choosing options on the dell site
    The No Raid RAID Configuration only allows a maximum of (1) 2.5" hard drive. If Primary Storage selected is 2.5" then Secondary Storage will need to be "NONE".
    SO with THESE LIMITATIONS what do you think is my best bet? 3 drives and no media (seems like a bad idea?) or 1 512 ssd? Also my boss thinks I need 2TB of space (which isn't even an option here) and so I think it will take some convincing to explain that a smaller faster more expensive SSD rive could be optimal over the 1TB or 750GB HDDs....
    With everyone's advice and suggestions I'm no closer to making a decision. I really need to work within these parameters. And keep in mind the 32 gb ram and other specs and what I'm doing. I'm not doing 3D animations or video production here. I don't even have Illustrator or other software, just PS CS6 (not to say I won't get Illustrator or other graphics software in the future but my job function should not change - just print work)
    Thanks

  • What project settings should I choose in PE8 for frame rate of 29.97 if camera source unknown?

    Hi, I would like to know what project settings to choose in premiere elements 8 for a frame rate of 29.97, pixel aspect ratio of 1.3333 and 1440x1080?  Should I choose HDV, AVCHD or hard disk?  I didn't record the footage, so I'm not sure what it was recorded on.

    I am definately selecting NTSC - HDV, HDV, 1080I30.  I then import the video. It shows in the project media - properties as 29.97 frame rate and in the interpret footage it also shows as 29.97.  But when it finishes indexing and starts to conform the video is changes to 25 frame rate. 
    Please see images below.  When importing the video it is at a frame rate of 29.97 until the indexing has finished, then it changes to 25 before conforming video
    IMAGE 1. Project settings
    IMAGE 2.  Indexing image.  frame rate at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 3. Properties while indexing video - 29.97 fps
    IMAGE 4.  Interpret footage - still while indexing at 29.97fps
    IMAGE 5.  Finished indexing changes to 25 fps and starts to conform video?

  • What size photo should I choose to send in an email.

    Hi you 'guys' with all the answers !!! When emailing a photo I am given the option of scaling the image. Do I choose Small (41.3KB), Medium (118 KB), Large (396 KB) or Actual Size. How do I know which option to choose and what is the difference? Does it affect sending time, quality or actual picture size.
    MANY THANKS.

    There is actually a reason for the three different sizes pf pictures, and it has to do with what you intend to to with the photo after it is sent.
    If you are sending a 'snapshot' to a friend to view on another smart phone or small format PC then small is fine. Essentially if it is intended to be viewed once or twice, then choose small. Works great for this use.
    If the viewer is going to be use a PC or other large format device, then the medium format if great. It has plenty of pixels to satisfy the display requirements of all but the most sophisticated monitor. This size is also good for printing at the 4x6 or maybe even a 5x7 size.
    If you intend to work with the photo with something like Photoshop, or if you intend to have the photo processed professionally (as compared to printing it on a 600 dpi photo printer), use the larger size picture.
    I use my iPhone camera, a point and shoot camera and a SLR high end camera a lot. If I am just fooling around, I will use the iPhone or pocket camera. If I am doing some serious photography (weddings, portraits, wildlife, etc.), I use my trusty SLR.
    I will admit that the quality of the iPhone camera and my point-and-shoot are blurring with the quality of the SLR, there is still a difference when you blow the picture up to 11x17 or larger. Also, I don't think a bride would accept any explanation for me showing up at her wedding to take photos with only my iPhone ;o)

  • What's the difference between choosing "reinstall mountain Lion" and erasing hard drive and booting from base system?

    I would like to know what the difference would be with the following two scenarios, both starting from the command + R menu at startup:
    1. Chose the picture of the mountain lion "reinstall osx mountain lion
    2. Erase the main hard drive, and then boot from "OSX base system"
    If someone upgraded my macbook to mountain lion, did that upgrade also include a recovery partition and is that what one of these options is?

  • What launch application do I choose to upgrade to os maverick

    I have an Imac with os x 10.6.8 I am wanting to upgrade to maverick, but it is asking for a launch application? What am I supposed to select?

    Since you seen not to know too much about upgrading software and knowing where to do this,
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I would strongly advise having, at least 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.
    http://roaringapps.com/
    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUoMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.
    Good Luck!

  • What format is best to choose for importing to iTunes 11?

    Trying to import all my music from Windows XP laptop, (can't find my original CDs, packed away) hours later I found they were in WMA format, not acceptable to iTunes in new Mac Mini, What the? Tell me best choice for format, please? I wasn't thrilled w. MP3, too dull, need sparkle. Would it be best to try from iTunes installed on laptop? I haven't set it back up yet to find out which format those files are in. Thanks in advance.

    iTunes for Mac can't transcode WMA files but iTunes for Windows can. You're going to lose a bit of fidelity moving from one lossy format to another but you might find you prefer AAC over MP3. There is also no point in converting low bitrate source files into a higher bitrate so you might want to spend some time with Windows Explorer search in details view so you can split out your WMA files into different bitrates before import into iTunes. Import settings are controlled under Edit > Preferences > General tab.

  • In what cases does Apple usually choose to just replace an iPhone instead of repairing it?

    From your guys' experiences, what qualifies for a free iPhone replacement by Apple?
    I'm taking my iPhone 4 in tomorrow for a stuck sleep/wake button. I've tried blowing any debris out of the button's surrounding area and even shook the phone upside down in an attempt to possibly have it working and 'clicking' again as normal. None of that worked. Now I'm taking it to the Genius helpers, and I just wanted to know if there's a chance they'll actually replace the entire phone.
    Any of you guys just had your iPhone replaced altogether instead of a repair?

  • What music format should I choose for a download?

    I am new to downloading music and haven't used iTunes. I bought a track at theclassicalshop.net and it is now asking what format I want to download it in: WMA, WAV, AIF. I don't have a clue which one. Then in another part of the screen I have a choice between WMA  and MP3.
    I have an iMac, iPhone and iPad; no W******.
    I would also like some background information on formats. I gather from other questions in the forum that iTunes uses AAC or something but that it is lossy, which doesn't sound good. But I also gather that iTunes can convert from and to other formats. Is there some reliable information on this subject somewheter someone could point me to? I would really appreciate it. I can't find anything on apple.com.

    MP3 and AAC (M4a) are both lossy. WAV and AIFF files are non-lossy but are very much larger - impracticably so for most downloading purposes. iTunes does not handle WMA files.
    MP3 and AAC quality can be perfectly reasonable as long as they are not compressed too much - purchased items are usually fine. You could download AIFF if you want to be fussy, though it's likely the difference won't be obvious unless you are using a good hifi system.
    You could download as AIFF or WAV and convert to MP3 or AAc but there's no point at all in doing that if you can download an MP3 version. Note that if you download an MP3 version there is no point in converting to AIFF - all you will do is make the file size larger, it won't improve the quality at all.
    AAC files are slightly better quality than MP3 at the equivalent bitrate, though again the difference is minimal and not likely to be obvious in most playback situations. You could compromise by downloading AIFF and converting to AAC if you want to keep the filesize on your Mac (and more to the point your iPod) down, though the download will be a long one as a result. This post explains how to do the conversion:

  • What frame-rate should I choose for iOS devices ?

    Hi there,
    I have my project set to 60FPS. everything looks smooth and fine  when testing on the iphone 4s.
    I don't have a 3G to test on yet, should I leave the framerate as 60FPS for 3g or lower it?
    I don't really understand how to determine what to set the framerate for best performance or even if it matters.
    Just after some clarification about what to set the framerate to.
    Thanks

    Yes release is same as non-debug
    Okay I finally get your question.
    The idea is to keep a value for fps that meets your requirement. Using a value higher than this wastes resources. A simple example would be running an application at 60 fps that is an enterprise application which is clearly wasteful. For your scrolling usecase, if your performance requirement is of 40 fps then keep framerate at 40. Now two things can happen either your device will have enough juice to run at 40 fps or it won't have. If it has the juice it will run at 40 fps no issues. But if it does not have enough juice then it won't and cause stutter. In such a case raising the framerate to 60 will serve no purpose, because that relatively slower device could not scroll at 40 fps, no chance of it to scroll at 60 fps. You should not concern yourself to keep different framerates for different devices. Keep the framerate at a value that meets your requirement, if the underlying device can play at that fps it will play, otherwise it will stutter.
    To answer your original question, no you will not get smoother scrolling on a lower frame rate.
