What is the right Format for Video Clips?

I have been searching for an answer to this for a while. I render animations out of my 3d program with these settings:
CCIR 601/Quantel NTSC
Pixel aspect of 720x486
Device Aspect Ratio: 1.333
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 0.9
Compression: dv/dvcpro NTSC
Rendered out as a Quicktime .mov
I put clips together in imovie and after using idvd for producing a DVD, my images are coming out sqaushed on the tv when viewed. Does any one know what Im doing wrong or what the Ideal format is for good quality using imovie, idvd, and viewed on a tv? Please help.

iMovie converts all material to DV. So, if possible, output DV streams as NTSC (720x480, 29.97 fps, 48 kHz audio, flagged as 4:3 or 16:9) so you avoid re-conversions. Another option (if the 3D app can't output DV streams) is to encode similar DV codec inside a MOV wrapper.

    I own an iPod Classic.  In iTunes, some podcast videos cant be played on teh iPod, so I set it to convert the video to the right format for the iPod.  It used to work perfectly, but now for some reason, it doesnt convert properly!  When I play the video, it is just a white screen, but the sound can be heard.  Can anyone help??????

    Your source video file is probably muxed.
    Neither QT Pro or iTunes has the ability to successfully encode a muxed video file with audio. You'll end up with video and no audio.
    See: iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files.
    You'll need to use some other third-party software to do the conversion. There's a handful of software available. Just search the forums and you'll find many titles mentioned.
    Try MPEG Streamclip.

  • What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13"  mid 2009 model?

    What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is  thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger.  A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
    All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

    Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
    Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
    Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

  • What is the right update for Lion OS X 10.7.5 ?Is it Lion OS X Mavericks or Lion OS X 10.8 and above?

    I bought a Macbook Air 11" in 2011. It is currently running Lion OS X 10.7.5. What is the right update for this ?Is it Lion OS X Mavericks or Lion OS X 10.8 and above?

    10.7.5 is the latest version of Lion. The next operating system that was released by Apple was 10.8.x Mountain Lion. Apple have, in the last two weeks, released a newer version of OS X - 10.9 Mavericks.
    It is a completely new operating system, not an update to Lion.
    Mavericks is available as a free upgrade (as opposed to update) via the Mac App Store in the Apple menu, but before upgrading (if you choose to) ensure that any applications you rely on are compatible with the latest OS. Also, for Mavericks to run well 4gb of RAM is recommended.

  • What is the best Monitor for Video editing & Graphic Design?

    Hi every one,
    I would like to find out what is the best monitor for video editing and graphic design that you recomend, I am trying to buy one but not sure which one is good and not expansive.
    Thanks very much

    I don't want 2 monitors, so a single 27inch model just what I need... plenty of room for PPro, or I can have a Word document and a Text file open and side by side
    John,
    That is personal taste and there is no discussing taste. However, from my perspective, and that is personal, I prefer 3840 x 1080 resolution with dual monitors over 1920 x 1080 with a single monitor, but that is because I very often have Firefox, Filezilla, Dreamweaver and some other applications open at the same time, switching between the Adobe forums, Gmail accounts, Notebook results from the PPBM5 data submissions, PPBM5 form submissions, MySQL access, phpadmin pages to update the database, the PPBM5 results pages and various DW .php pages for the maintenance of our database and switching back and forth between various versions of PR. I occasionally really run out of real estate with all these applications and could not consider a single monitor with only 1920 x 1080 resolution, even if it were a 105" screen. In the future I would even like to have a four monitor setup (with MPE hardware support) in a two by two configuration, so that I can freely move my application screens around.
    If that happens, notice I say if and not when, my preference for a monitor would be something like 4 Samsung F2380 monitors. Small bezel, great display and panel, affordable.

  • What is the right process for moving system to another plant

    Dear Guru,
    I have below scenario which i would like to understand what should be the right process to deal with it..
    Organization Structure.
    Company code: C500
    Business area : 500A
    Plant A500 and S500 which is under the same company code and same Business area.
    Storage location: SW01 and AW01 which are physically same location address
    I have this scenario where the user have a PO under Plant S500 which already GR and IR and the physical goods is currently placed in Storage location SW01.
    But the user realized the Material should be created under Plant A500.
    For the above case, can anyone please advice me what should be the better process instead of reversal the IV/GR/PO? and what is the right process for MM and considering also from the finance point of view?
    Thank you very much,
    Regards,
    CheeWee

    Hi
    It is the configuration issue. SOmetime it happens when you copy the Reference plant to your Plant.
    Change the setting and make it both Qty & Value if you really want to manage the stock qty with value then proceed.
    Valuation area is nothing but a Plant.

  • I have no share tab to share videos and get them in the right format for posting on youtube, is this because i have got the trial version, someone please help.

    I cant export my movie, as there is no share tab and when i go file>share it isn't in the right format what should i do?

    The trial version of FCP X is the same as the paid version - it just stops working after 30 days, so that's not your problem.
    What version of FCP X is it, and what is the spec of the footage you're editing?
    (Open it in QuickTime and press Cmd+I to show the spec in the Inspector, then post back with the full details or a screen grab).

  • Adobe v. Apple - Flash v. H.264 - what's the best format for web?

    So the iPad doesn't support flash.  I guess that means that if I upload my projects as flv's or f4v's and use a flash player then the apple obsessed people won't be able to watch my videos
    http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2010/05/02/apple-vs-adobe-is-flash-dying/
    Personally, I don't really care if flash lives or dies.  I just want to be able to publish videos that anyone can watch in a player that anyone can use without having to download a plugin.  SO, what is the best format to use?
    To date, I've been shooting my footage in HD 1920x1080i, saving my PE projects as MPEG2 HD 1080i, and then converting to f4v's.  Now I'm wondering if I should be saving them using the H.264 preset instead and then presumably some lower quality settings for the web file?  And if so, what kind of end user player should I be looking for?
    Help anyone?

    Well, unfortunately Flash was the universal format, and then Steve Jobs decided that he did not like Adobe. As most browsers on Earth were FLV playback enabled and if not, were only a quick, free download away. Now, it seems that Apple's devices will only work with flavors of MOV. One can still download and install Apple's QT Player (though several recent versions did not work well with Adobe programs - Steve Jobs sabotage?).
    Instead of coming together on universal formats/CODEC's, it seems that many wish to fragment the market to support just their products. One is at the mercy of these hardware and software companies. Producers probably should now do several versions of everything, if they wish to cover all bases. Someone will have to download and install something.
    Good luck,

  • What are the right names for the 2 OHS?

    Hi,
    Currently we have 2 options for an HTTP Web Server for APEX:
    - An Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) from the database companion CD.
    - An Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) from the Oracle Application Server.
    The first OHS is based on Apache 1.3.x and the second on Apache 2.0.x.
    What are the right way to reference them so people know what your are talking about? In the manuals they are just called OHS but since they are not the same I would like to distinguish them some way. What do you call them?
    Regards Pete

    OK now I think got it:
    OHS from the database companion CD and from the Application Server are both based on an Apache 1.3.x HTTP server.
    On the Oracle Application Server companion CD is an OHS based on an Apache 2.0.x HTTP server. This release does not contain the mod_plsql module an can therefor not be used for APEX.
    Regards Pete

    My questions are: What are the best settings for ripping cd's in the AAC format?
    It is a matter of opinion, but I suggest 256 kb/s, CBR, and leave all other settings on automatic.
    Will I be able to burn cd mixes with the tracks I import into itunes after importing using the AAC format?
    Yes. Just put them in a playlist and burn.
    Does the AAC format have VBR like the MP3 format?
    Yes. You will see it as an option in the Import Settings.
    Is there other ripping software such as dbPoweramp and Exact Audio Copy that does a better job ripping cd's in the AAC format?
    EAC does a better job of correcting errors in damaged CDs, but for normal CDs iTunes does a fine job of ripping to AAC.

  • What is the best format for a image with transparency?

    If I create an image in PhotoShop with Transparency, what is the best format and size to save it in for it to work in FCE?

    Did that link help you?
    Thanks Tom.
    The link helped.
    FCE kept crashing when I put the image on the time line and I figured out that it probably had to do with the size of the image that I was using. It was 4656x3400 and CMYK.
    Once I reduced it and changed to RGB it worked.

  • What is the best format for a master?

    Hi,
    I am about to send my master for replication. Can anybody tell me what is the best format I should save my songs into? I want to avoid any complains that my CD is not "compatible" with someone's CD player.
    Also, any pointers on how to burn my master CD (slowest speed, etc.) to get the best sound quality I can get from Logic Pro?
    As always, thank you sooo much. :>
    Anya

    Hi,
    Your master should be dithered (assuming you started off in 24bit) to 16bit and 44.1 - which is cd quality. Whether it is in aiff. or wav before you burn to CD is not an issue.
    As for the CD itself - use Waveburner to burn the master disk as this burns it to red book compliant quality. In regards to the speed - i tend to burn cd's at 4x as a sound guy friend a fw years ago informed me this would reduce the possibility of errors on a burned cd. If you want to be sure burn it slower even!
    The most important thing is to bounce your tracks down to 44.1 and use Logic's dithering options when making the tracks 16bit too.
    Hope that helps,
    Rounik
