What settings will give higher quality / clarity in a video stream?

Hey all.. I run FME 3.2 on a windows 7 box (quad core, 8G RAM) taking composite video from another source typically, and I can send a decent quality stream most times. I've seen other webcasts though where the quality of their video is almost perfect.. total clarity and that's even on a wifi connection. I typically stream VP6 with default settings sending total audio&video around 700k up to my CDN... Any advice on what I might be able to tweak and get better clarity without boosting bitsream out of reason would be appreciated!

What software will convert a NCOR file to other video formats?

Since Encore will only write to a disc, disc image, or Flash, what software will convert a NCOR file to other video formats?

Now that I have more information, here's the issue in summary:
A coworker is working on a training program for facilitators, total 3.5 hours long.
Part of it includes a video, after which the viewer should be able to select one of several vignettes, smaller videos. At the conclusion of those, the viewer should be able to print a certificate.
The coworker created a video in Adobe Premier, and then accompanying menus in Adobe Encore. If we heard them right, the web developers said that the entire project (videos and menus) must be in MPEG-4, and we discovered that Encore can't do that. Encore could do it in Flash; the developers do not want that.
I think what is going on here is a misunderstanding. It sounds like they want an interactive presentation. The video can be MPEG-4 from Premier. The Menu interactivity is something else, since MPEG-4 is not interactive. Flash is the only way I know of to keep the interactivity. Someone needs to ask the web developers what they are expecting.
What do you guys suggest, besides a plain old HTML menu page with hyperlinked buttons on it?

Ideal settings for warm, high quality voice over?

Are there ideal settings to get a high quality voice over? I am using a good Samson mic, but need guidance with the settings? I don't suppose there is an existing preset that could be applied for this--I imagine I'll have to create one.
Thanks.

There are plent of presets that will add ambience to the voice over, but to make it "warm" and not sound "recorded" isn't easy if at all possible using the presets in SB.
The best solution is to make sure the voice track is recorded at as close to "studio quality" as you can get before adding it.
"Egg crate" foam, carpet, fiberglass, mic baffling, all help to minimize background noise and that slight echo that can turn what would otherwise be a really good voice over into an amateurish sounding affair.

What techniques for storing high quality & low size songs in iTunes

I use iTunes with an 80gb ipod for music on my Home Theater system. For this, I'd like to use Apple Lossless files (higher quality & I can afford the big files).
For the family iPods, I'd like to use 320kbps (good enough for iPods & small file size).
What are good techniques for keeping both size files on my iMac? I'd like this to be as simple as possible.

This is often asked and there is not any simple technique. The choices are to either keep two separate libraries (that would be my preference), or to keep separate playlists within a single library.
Note that once you get set up, any new files you add to the library will have to be manually handled to make sure that the 320 version gets added to the additional library/playlists.

What settings will keep the brush size "precise" while I am brushing?

Hi -
I give up. With all the options in PSD CS5.5 (Mac 10.7) I can't figure out how to keep seeing the size of my brush while I'm using it. I can see and adjust the size of the brush ( ] [ ) but as soon as I hold down the mouse button the circle goes away and I cannot see the edge of my brush. Consequently my brushing is not precise.
Can someone please tell me what combination of settings will allow me to see the cursors I want in the size they will be applied and have that size be apparent AS I am applying them?
TIA some sanity.
JL

Jeff Schewe - thanks so much for pulling me back from the edge. That's the exact answer I needed.
Everyone else - thanks for responding with such succinct and valuable comments.

What settings will allow Adobe to display as a thumbnail in Explorer

This question has probably been answered many times before but bear with me as I cannot find out what settings are required to allow Adobe to display as a thumbnail, of the files contents, instead of the red PDF orbital image. I have a lot of craft images, papers etc and I used to have a proportion of the files that displayed as an thumbnail image but could never make all my Adobe files display the same and since I have updated to Adobe Reader XI I no longer have any files that display as thumbnails. As it makes it easier to see an image instead of opening each document every time to see the image it would be useful to be able to convert back to thumbnails. I would hope that this is still possible as if it isn't it is certainly a retrograde step.
This is on a PC / Laptop running Windows 7
Thanks to anyone who can come up with an answer
Pete M

It has been my experience that with all 64-bit Windows (I use 7 and 8.1), thumbnail preview does not work well. I've had some success with:
Fixes for 64-bit Adobe Reader preview handler and thumbnails
With this fix, preview works correctly for a time and then stops working. I have no idea why it stops.
I've looked for an alternative to Adobe Reader (I use the free version). Only one seems to work and it is Foxit Reader. I understand that you wanted a fix for Adobe Reader. So do I. For now at least, I have set Free Foxit Reader as default so that thumbnails work and use "right-click/open with" to open in Adobe Reader.
Hope this helps

HT4914 What happens with my higher quality songs than itunes can offer?

I have songs higher than 256 kbps, some in mp3 320 kbps and other in ALAC format, what’s going to happen to these songs? Will I be downgraded to iTunes quality?

Nothing will happen to them. Keep them backed up so that you will still have copies if your hard drive fails.
What has caused a lot of discussion, and may be the basis of your question, is the iTunes Match capability. It is an optional feature, so it will not do anything unless you sign up for it. If you do sign up for it, your MP3/320 and ALAC songs will be backed up as AAC/256 copies, which as you correctly note, is a downgrade to the audio quality.
For that reason, iTunes Match is not recommended for your situation.

Forgot restrictions password. What settings will be affected by restoring to factory settings?

I forgot my restrictions password. What will change if I have

Restoring to factory settings, does just that... your iPhone will be like it was when new and not activated, i.e. everything will be wiped off the phone.

What settings will allow use of shopping lists on my retail accounts

I get kicked back to a login prompt even though i am already logged in. Since it happens on different websites, i think changes in my Firefox settings may be the problem.

Will USB 802.11n wireless card improve video streaming on older iBook?

On my older G4 iBook, I'm accessing the internet through the AirPort Time Capsule as my wireless router. The video on my MacBook Pro is stunning, the iBook is terrible, useless really. Would a USB 802.11n video card work better than the AirPort card in the computer?

Duane, I meant a USB wireless adapter. The general consensus is that it would improve at least marginally, but no one seems to know for sure. Simple enough to find out, just haven't gotten around to buying one yet. I'll just need to make sure I can return it if there is no improvement.

Just bought a 13" mac book air. When streaming vidoes from amazon it stops every 10 minutes or so to download --I have high speed wireless internet. video streams fine on my older pc.

I just bought a 13" Mac air. Streaming videos from amazon.com stop to load every ten minutes. my wireless internet is fast and a good connection. same video runs fine on my older dell pc.

Entering the URL of an HD version of the movie into the URL line in Safari changes things but does not resolve the problem. Now I see the QuickTime "Q" after about 5 seconds, and shortly after that the QT logo fades and a large question mark appears over it. After that, nothing.

What settings give the BEST audio quality (original audio CD to iTunes)

Further to my last post, can ya'll PLEASE help me get the bottom of this? I have heard so many different opinions & need to resolve ASAP....
What pref' settings will give me the VERY BEST audio quality, when importing original audio CD's into iTunes 4?
File size is of no issue (I have TONS of storage). I aim to import all at the highest quality possible (files need to be "broadcast quality" - for playing through a big PA system). I have been advised to either.....
1. Import using the AAC encoder at a stereo bit rate of 320 kbps with a sample rate of 48.000 kHz.
2. Import using AIFF (lossless uncompressed).
3. Import using Apple Lossless (lossless compressed).
WHICH ONE SHOULD I USE? Bearing in mind that the files will be played LOUD through a professional PA system & I'd prefer the crowd not to notice a significant diference between iTune files & orginal audio CD's (I will be spining both, side by side).
Cheers - Sweetamix.

You are finding out that the answer to this question tough. Everyone has their own opinion on this one.
I saved the responses to a topic I opened six months ago on this same subject. I saved them and cut and pasted them into one document. Here were the answers I received. Good luck. bob

RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
My experience with classical music (and music in general) is that the higher the bitrate, the better the quality and richness of the music. On the other hand, there is a limit to how much distinction your ears can make, and I think that anything above 192 kbps (mp3 format) is not significantly better (and not worth the larger file size). And in terms of volume adjustment, I personally have not found any need for it.
RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
I copied the same CD to my computer in 128, 160, 192, and 320 bitrates, and I couldn't tell a difference between any of 'em. I was listening to them with Grado SR60 headphones too.
RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
I’m sure you will get several if not many responses. You may also find they vary with the preference of the individual. However there are some rules of thumb. Generally speaking I think you will indeed find the higher the bit rate brings you closer to the CD sound.
Certainly, 32-bit rate does not offer very good sound quality. Actually going from 32 to 320 should have been noticeably better, if not…. Then you’re in good shape. Because what you don’t know is there, can’t be missed.
Also, the bit rate is only part of the equation. What format codec <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51910> are your songs ripped to.
Consider the following - iPod: About compatible song formats
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61476>
MP3 (from 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps)
MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
AIFF
WAV
M4A AAC
Apple Lossless Encoder
It sounds to me as though your songs may be in MP3 format. As a suggestion you might try ripping your CD’s to 128 AAC format. The general consensus is that AAC is better than MP3. Give it a shot…for the heck of it, and see what you think.
Finally in the end…..it matters little what we all might think….If you think your sounds are better ripped at a MP3 320 bit rate……Great. If not…experiment, and play around till you find what sounds wonderful to you!
RE: Classical Music & Bitrate
Sorry for taking so long to get back to this thread: had two twelve-hour work days in a row.
I did a Get Info on a typical piece in my iTunes and got this
Kind: AAC Audio File
Bit Rate: 128kb (have some at 192 & 2 or 3 at 320)
Sample Rate: 44.100 kHz
Profile: Low Complexity
Channels: Stereo
Volume: +2.3
I was troubled that one responder couldn't tell the difference among 128, 160, 192, and 320 bitrates even using Grado SR60 headphones!
And another seems to be of a similar opinion when he says that I think that anything above 192 kbps (mp3 format) is not significantly better (and not worth the larger file size). Does this apply to AAC format, too?
However, I am going to continue to add tunes at the 320 bitrate - for a while - because I swear that I can tell a difference when I play them over my car radio via the cassette adapter.

What QT7 settings do I use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm using the iPhone to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
I have previously saved my .mov file as Apple TV, but the quality is reduced from 1920x1080 to 960x540. I was unable to sync the higher quality file to my phone (and am worried this is the limitation of the hardware). I added this file to iTunes, added to a playlist, and sync'd to my iPhone. The playback works but the resolution is obviously a lower quality.Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device? Thanks in advance to your answers.

Does anyone know what settings I should use to export a 1080p video for playback on iPhone4? I'm hoping to use the iPhone4 to playback 1080p video on 1080p monitor. Is this possible?
No. Only the iPhone 4S, iPad3, and TV3 currently support 1080p30 content. Even then the 1080p30 playback support for your monitor may depend on how the device is connected. The iPhone 4 is limited to 720p30 playback.
Is it possible to keep the higher quality for playback through a 1920x1080 hd monitor? Otherwise, would I be able to sync a 1920x1080 mov file to a new iPad or other device?
Not on your current device. As previously stated, the latest generation of iPhone, iPad, and TV devices support a maximum 1080p30 playback capability but may be limited to lower resdolutions depending on your method of connection to your monitor. This information can be found on the Apple web site TechSpecs page for each respective device.
