What do the "Automatic" settings do for Frame size and Frame rate in Compressor 4.1.1?

Can anyone tell me, very specifically and with technical detail, what the "Automatic" settings do (in Compressor 4.1.1) for the following setting attributes: (1) Frame size and (2) Frame rate
Thank you!

Hi, in addition to Russ's advice for the VIDEO PROPERTIES in the Inspector, you might consider the "automatic" options being proposed by compressor.app V4.1.x as OPTIMAL for the destination codec you have specified that deviate (or differ in some way) form the MASTER (source) from where your are transcoding. There's no real TECHNICAL detail. These UI values simply are passed as parameters to the codec. The image/audio results can be PREVIEWed ofcourse in the compressor.app V4.1.x UI (Current PAne) ... us the slider and the timeline to determine final taste!
Suggested Examples may include:
REDUCED frame rate for a slower device or stream or bit rate or destination dleivery platform
reduced bit rate for older devices
smaller FRAME SIZE for say SD devices specified
INCREASED frame size with added "padding" in a situation like LETTERBOXING (4:3 in a 17:9 for example.. may others)
ye old PAL to NTSC conversion
inter-frame group of pictures (GOP) for distribution.
Scaling
retiming
cropping verses scaling
or simply what compressor.app "thinks" would work best - usually the best for most work.
others will have many more suggestions.
Also note that there are some nice overidding settings in the inspector/Video for resizing and retiming and Cropping you might consider.
For client based production distributions, many of us use CUSTOMISED settings. You may create and delete these on an AS NEEDED basis.
Lastly, There's likely a good write up the defaults in the latest Compressor.app V4.1 Users Guide PDf - you might want to pull it down from http://manuals.apple.com and shove it in ibooks.app. I recommend getting a copy. Also get the latest FCPX 10.1 Users Guide and Motion while you're there. Great for iPAD and iPHONE too if you get bored.
FWIW.

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

What's the best graphic card for FCP X and a Mac Pro (early) 2008?

I have a Radeon HD 3870 in my Mac Pro, it seems that I cannot use this configuration with Final Cut Pro X. Then what's the best graphic card for FCP X usable in a Mac Pro (early) 2008?
Thx,
Phil

You can get a 5770 radeon ATI MAC card
Avoid the 5770 cards on ebay and Amazon - many are black market or manipulated cards.
Buy it from Apple online store or B&H photo or Macconection
And in my case, I was able to sell my old 2600 XT card on ebay for $65 and put that money toward a 5770 card (Which was about $230 minus the $65)
I installed the 5770 in my early Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 and it works great

What are the PROXY SETTINGS (port) for HP Photosmart printer 7520 ???

CANNOT FIND THE CORRECT PORT ( proxy setting ) for my
HP 7520 Photosmart PRINTER???

Hi torino71,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to know which proxy settings to set for your HP Photosmart 7520. I was able to find a great thread from a fellow Community member windrunner123, see below:
In some network setup, proxy settings may need to be configured on the printer to enable connection to the Internet.
1. Make sure the printer is on a network and must have an IP address assigned by a Network Router or a DHCP server. Alternatively, you may also configure the printer to use a static IP address. Check and retrieve the IP address of the printer from the Home Screen menu selection: Network -> View Network Summary -> View Wired (or View Wireless) or Setup -> Network > View Network Summary (depending on printer model)
2. In a web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname that has been assigned to your printer.
3. Go to the Network Tab > Proxy Settings and enter the proxy settings into the fields and click Apply button. You may have to check with your ISP or IT Administrator for the correct Proxy Setting.
As well as the port settings below you will want your router company to make sure that multicasting is enabled, bonjour protocol needs to be enabled, make sure that mac filtering is disabled, and have them check if there are any firmware updates for the router, and check firewalls on the router to make sure not blocking the communication
The following ports are also used by your HP device and might need to be opened on your firewall configuration
Incoming ports (UDP) are destination ports on the computer while outgoing ports (TCP) are destination ports on the HP device:
Incoming (UDP) ports
137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports
137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
The ports are used for the following functions:
Printing
UDP ports 427, 137 161
TCP port 9100
Photo card upload
UDP ports 137 138 427
TCP 139
Scanning
UDP port 427
TCP 9220, 9500
Faxing
UDP port 427
TCP port 9220
HP Device Installation
UDP port 427
Web Services
80, 443, 5222 and 5223
I hope this helps! If you have any more questions please let me know.
Thank you,

What is the ideal resolution combo for MBP 13" and Projector?

In our school district we are using 13" MacBook Pro's (OS X 10.7 Lion) and external epson projectors, projecting to a Promethean Smart Board. The default resolution for a MBP is 1280X800, that is a no brainer. Now everything I've been reading says that projectors like to be on 1024X768. When we do that the projector resolution dictates that resolution to the MBP screen and the MBP screen is of course distorted. They don't play nice when trying to set independent settings. We've found that 1280X800 for MBP and 1280X960 for the projector works best. When set at these settings and you plug and unplug the VGA adapter the settings on the MBP hold to 1280X800. But we have to keep calibrating the Promethean Smart Board though inbetween plugging and unplugging the VGA adapter's. Any ideas?

Try setting up the projector at 1024x768 as it calls for, but you want to use the best image. This might require a resolution reset as you are dealing with 3 different viewing sources. (ahh, if only they would come up with a standard.
You can try a pram reset with everything up and running, this can sometimes correct distortions.
NVPRAM reset:
Power down the mac, power it back up, before the start up chime, press and hold the following keys:
option,command,P,R,(no commas) and continue to hold these keys till you hear the start chime 2 times. See what you have. You might have to reboot.
Also you can try connecting the projector, fire up the mac then the projector, it might auto-detect. You can try system preferences click detect displays,
As for the smart board, you would have to contact the manufacturer for details.
I know I have not offered much here, but it's worth a try, can't hurt anything.
Also, if you plan to contact the Community in the future, please ammend your profile with the model and OS you are using, as it could help you get more info.
Does your IT person have stuff locked out? Most school districts have many of the useful tools locked out.
The reason I know this is my wife is a school teacher, and we end up doing most of her multi media stuff on one of our personal computers, because of the lock down imposed on the entire staff.
I hope there is something that might help you here. If not get your IT person to make it happen.(If they can)
Good luck

What's the best overall solution for managing books and eBooks?

I have a lot of eBooks (in .mobi and PDF format). I'd like to find a solution (software/system/scheme) such that
1) The actual content syncs to several devices (Mac, iPad, iPhone) and can be read even when network is not present.
2) There is a searchable, convenient database of what books are there.
3) The database can be added to by barcode scanning the ISBN tag
4) Some entries in the database are linked to full content. That is, I'd enter books that I have in electronic format, but also books from my library that exist only in paper form.
I'm looking for a total solution to manage all my books - list them all, plus enable ready access to the content for the ones I have. I'd like to have it sync to several devices. What's the best system - anyone have it set up like this? What's the best reader, database app, and way to hang it all together (with iTunes?). Thanks in advance,
Mike

I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great. i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive. My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes. I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV
I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.

What is the Ideal Production Setup For One Admin and 4 Managed Servers

Dear Experts
I will be starting with production setup including one Admin server and 4 managed servers in one single domain.
I am thinking of creating a single node environment(no clusters) as the machine has following configuration
OS : Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter
RAM : 48 GB
System Type : 64 bit
Processor : Intel(Xenon) 4 processors [email protected]
Can you please let me know if this configuration would suffice for the 4 managed servers if i assign Xmx and Xms as 4096 and Heap Space as 1024 to all the Managed Servers.
It is very urgent and i need to convey to the Infrastructure team if harware procurement is required.
We are looking at somewhere around 300 concurrent users(maximum load) and 100(minimum load) at a given point of time.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks in advance

Heap size must be calculated according to the applications that are been deployed on each JVM.
With no deployments, you dont need more than 256k for managed servers heap size and 512k for adminserver. As biggest its your heap size, longer will take your garbage collection. And if you can prevent it, better do it.

What is the best car kit for 3g transmission and charging

give some options - what is out there?

Not really good idea. It's temporary usage, and instead of RAMDisk I suggest you buy SSD of SATA III or M.2 depending on what motherboard you have. Go for 16Gb, and buy 120Gb SSD, it will be more efficient. Also you won't get much difference between starting game like Battlefield 4 on SSD and RAMDisk.
Or buy 2x60Gb SSD, 1 for OS and 1 for apps so OS drivers doesn't mix together with games etc.

What are the better IDE's for Mac (Java and C++)?

I'm switching over to Mac's here soon and I'm curious about which products are the best, from others' experiences, for developing Java and C++ applications. On Windows I used NetBeans and IntelliJ (although not as much), but I'm curious if there is Mac specific software that someone might recommend.

Both of the above work fine on Mac (I used IntelliJ exclusively for Java development). For C++ I use Qt Creator and sometimes Xcode.

What is the best easy setup for d600 nikon. and what is the best export for hd movie, 11 min ?

i'm exporting my movie in mpeg4, 1960X1080, for streaming.
all the movie is going well, but there is some cubes in the sky, and also, some frames jumpes.
I treid few times, but its always the same.
Thank you,Lena

You should transcode the Nikon clips to Pro Res 422 before you import them to your project. That can be done in Compressor or MPEG Streamclip. Let FCP automatically determine the best sequence settings, based on your first clip. Export your project as Quick Time Movie, current settings. If you need an MP4 with h.264, MPEG Streamclip can make it for you.
