Which Codec is designed for production work?

Does anyone have a definitive answer to which Codec is designed for production work in FCP?
NONE HD, current footage is in Apple MPEG-2, and I want to convert it in FCP to a good, fast working codec. There seems to be many to choose from, and I know that many are not smart to use. So which ones are good ones to convert and work in?
I tried Apple ProRes422, but I could see a difference on screen in the quality of the original (MPEG-2) and the newly converted. I thought H264, but I was told this is NOT a production codec.

Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support?

I have videos from a Canon Powershot camera which are in 1280 × 720, H.264, Linear PCM. I can import these videos to iMovie on iPad but when I open iMovie it does not show the files.
I have also tried to import the videos via iTunes Movie Sync. I can play the video on the iPad but can not import it to a new project in iMovie.
Which codecs does iMovie for iPad support? If I can play the movie on iPad, it should be possible to edit it?
Where do I find the codecs supported by iMovie for iPad?

iMovie was made to edit video shot on iOS devices; there is no support list, it was made to edit iOS video.
This allows iMovie to be stable (or should make it stable as the case may be).
That said, you are importing the video wrong, and may be in luck with your video.
The File sharing pane is just for importing iMovieiOS projects.
iMovie cannot edit video in the Movies app.
iMovie edits video that can be seen in the photos app.
So you need to import it via the photos tab, as you would photos.
The other option is using the camera connect kit.
If you can see the video in the Photos app, it is highly likely that you can edit it.
But be warned that using non-iOS sourced video can make iMovie very buggy and flakey.
Avid for iPad is made to edit more formats and might be a better choice if you have trouble.

Does anyone know which companies use VirtualBox for Product QA testing?

Hi guys,
I am doing Software QA testing and currently looking into using virtualization tool.
Does anyone know which companies use VirtualBox for Product QA testing?
I know there are alot of companies using VMWare, but have never heard of any using VirtualBox?
Help me out with the list. Does Oracle ever use their own VirtualBox for testing their own range of products?

Well, Oracle uses internally more & more VirtualBox and we see more & more companies using VB instead of VMWare.
Very similar, maybe VB better in memory management

Which codecs (e.g. for MP3 etc..) are installed and/or used by MediaSource 3 o

Which codecs (audio or video) are installed and used by MediaSource versions 3.30.2 and 5.0.38?Is that information provided in the MS application anywhere?I checked under Device Manager | Sound, video and game controllers | Audio Codecs (Video Codecs) ..but I don't see any?specifically from Creative e.g. like ctmp3.acm which some other people see. I see no codecs (either audio or video) with name? ct**.** in those codec lists. I see the MPEG Layer-3 Audio Codec Version .9(Build 305) .. but what application installed it ? WMP ?Is that the codec used by MS for MP3 encoding and playback?- Mitch?

Yup.
Here is a way you could solve this by adding an extra column and a small lookup table:
The lookup table is here for the copying:
0
1
k
kilo
2
M
mega
3
G
giga
4
T
tera
5
P
peta
6
E
exa
7
Z
zetta
8
Y
yotta
In table 8 (the one on the left in the image) column A is where the values are.
B1=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
this is shorthand for... select cell B1, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=A1÷(1024^VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 1))&" "&VLOOKUP(INT(LOG(A1, 1024)), Binary Prefixes::A:D, 2)&"B"
select cell B1, copy,
now select all the cells in column B, paste

Which codec converting MP4 for editing?

I did a search on this question. I have a copy of MPEG Streamclip. But exactly what codec should I use so that there is little or no loss of data? Streamclip defaults to Apple Motion JPEG A. I see all the Apple ProRes codes; and two others - Apple FCP Uncompressed 8-bit/10-bit 4:2:2. What exactly is different about these?
Thanks.

Hi William,
What are you looking to use the MP4 for as this will have a bearing on the type of MP4 codec to go for.
Motion JPEG A is an older (but still useful) codec. It's been superseded by many other MPEG formats.
ProRes is Apples latest codecs. Personally I love them. They give very good compression with very little loss in image. That's not to say there is none. ProRes422LT is one of the more lossy versions while 422HQ is the least lossy. They are aimed at 10bit video but can be used just as well for 8bit too.
Uncompressed is just what it infers. It has a lossless image but has the downside of being a large, uncompressed file size. You will also need a very fast harddrive to play this media at full rate.
My recommendation out of all of these would be ProRes422 Standard (ie, with no suffix of letters on the end). This will give you good all round performance for editing and image quality (although some high detail / high motion footage it may appear a little noisy).
All the best

Which codec to use for editing AND motion graphics (ala Final Cut Studio)?

I have a prosumer-level AVCHD camcorder (Panasonic HDC-TM700) and am working with Final Cut Studio. After doing a great deal of research it appears that there is NO real benefit to using any codec other than ProRes 422 for straight editing (a camera at this price point doesn't shoot images of a high enough quality to warrant using 422 HQ, which also requires more processor power, and not only does 4444 require rendering it also takes up a ton of space). However, I have read (many times) that there may be some benefit to using 422 HQ if I am doing motion graphics work (ala Motion 4). Can anyone verify this? Would it make any discernible difference when shooting with a camera like this? Even though it is a prosumer camcorder I am trying to squeeze as much value as I can out of the entire production.
Any input or advice?
Thanks!

Which Codec to use for editing?

Hi everyone.
I have some rather large uncompressed files which premiere pro is struggling with. The files are only 2:20 seconds long but are 20GB in size with a data rate of 1244163kbps. My computer can play them but it's not smooth. Seeing as I'm going to be adding effects and working on different video tracks I figure it's a good idea to encode this footage before editingh with it in Premiere.
So I'm wondering what's the best codec and wrapper to encode with for editing? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin

At this point, yes it's just for editing.
The free UT codec is another good choice, but it's 8 bit only. It is lossless, though, and does play fine in a couple of media players.

I will not qualify it as best. Best depends on your requirement. 2008 r2 is much cheaper than SS2012 and SS2014. First make sure what all features you need in your new environment. Please read below link for features supported by various editions of SQL

Hi NMU,
I am not aware about SAP BW, can you try the following :
--If the report saved in SAP BW then delete the report and save a report which is reflecting your changes.
--Also try to create a new parameter with Country1 and add three countries and try to save the report. If that is working then remove the Country paramenter (old) from the report.
Thanks,

Which codec to choose for a music video edit with this setup?

I am using a new camera (for me that is) a Panasonic Hdc Sd700 and have shot a music video with two of these cameras. I am using Clipwrap to encode and the options as far as I can see are:
Apple Intermediate Codec (Aic)
Apple ProRes 422
Apple Prores 422 HQ.
I am going to use some effects so there will be several tracks of video to deal with. I have an external esata drive and another external FW800 drive.
I am working on a laptop (Macbook Pro) with these specs: 4 Gb Ram, 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Is 422 HQ to much too handle for this machine?
I still have much to learn .....

Is 422 HQ to much too handle for this machine?
It's overkill anyway, just based on the camera you are using. Regular ProRes or ProRes LT will be fine.
Don't use Apple Intermediate.

How can I make Intellicomplete, which is quite essential for me, work with Firefox 3.6 as it already does with 3.5?

Intellicomplete is a word completion software I regularly use in text editing and internet searches in Firefox 3.5 and Internet Explorer. However, Firefox 6 does not accept it. This prevents me from upgrading to Firefox 6 and benefiting from its security features.

In my case it seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore after the FF update. (and yes, my add-ons are enabled - to answer the tech support people's first question).
For me, the coupon printer doesn't even show up in my Firefox "Add-Ons" list anymore. Is that what people typically see when they're saying the coupon printer "doesn't work" with FF? The coupon printer was visible on the add-ons list before my FF update, and now it's totally Gone! It seems that Firefox just doesn't "see" (or can't find?) the coupon printer application anymore since the FF update.
When I'm on the coupons.com site and I click "print coupons", it tells me I haven't installed the application. But it Is installed on my computer, I can see it in my folders, and it works on IE, so it's definitely there.
BTW - I have uninstalled/reinstalled the coupon printer application. I have tried all the suggestions on the Mozilla help/forum sites, as well as the Coupons.com web site. I have closed and re-started Firefox after the installation. I have also shut down and restarted my pc after installation. I tried installing the application with Firefox open, and tried it again with Firefox closed. I've even cleared out all my cookies/history associated with Coupons.com.
... I can't think of anything else to try, except for the "solution" of using IE for coupons.
If it Really is a problem on the Coupon.com end of things, do you think it's worth it if we bombard the coupons.com support team with messages saying they need to fix the problem? (or just a waste of time?) ;(

Which codec is needed for playing vp6 videos in Windows 7 (32 bits)?

I'm still trying to solve the media corrupted error, could you recommend me a codec for Windows 7 (32 bits) for playing vp6 videos?
Perhaps I'm not using the correct codec...
Thanks!
Noelia

Thanks for your answer, I'm doing this question here because I have Media problems with my JAVAFX 2.0 application since october.
I posted many questions about the error "media corrupted" and I couldnt get an answer for my problem. My application change videos all the time and I'm trying to solve the error.
I think that I was wrong choosing JAVAFX 2.0 because it's too new. I have to finish my app because my client is waiting...
I don't know what to do, I spent lot of time... I tested a lot of codecs and the problem persists. I hate vp6 videos.
Thanks

How to Enhance search help for product groups. Currently no ability to add multiple lines from result list

Hi All,
In CRM Web UI, there is no multi selection option for product group id f4 help for Custmer event creation or edit screen under “Product” tab=> Product Group ID field.
Web UI Component Details -
UI component : TPMOE
View : TPMOE/ProductEOL
Context: PRODUCT Attribute : -PRODUCT_GRUOP
Click on Product Group ID field then below F4 Help screen appears.
In the product group results list, user can select only one row and Then all the product will be queried for selected product group, transferred to product list tab.
Current technical design for Product Group F4:
a) SE11 Data Dictionary search help “CRM_MKTPL_PGRP1” is used and data is fetched displayed based it( Refer method GET_V_PRODUCT_GROUP of context node class CL_TPMOE_PRODUCTEOL_CN00)
b) In UI, F4 pop up is handled by UI Framework in SAP generic manner so no multi selection is allowed.
c) A round trip event is triggered after selection of row from results which reload view with queried product result based group selected.
Requirement :-
In the product group F4 results list View, user should be able to select multiple row .As SAP GUI has the option of multiple entry selection from search help window with the help of field called MULTISEL.
System should query for products with all selected product group, transferred to product list tab.
Note: - The multi select options works fine for GUI, but for UI standard SAP code ignores this or never is this structure taken into consideration. Standard class to display F4 help on UI is CL_THTMLB_F4HELP.
Can we enforce same behavior like DDIC search help in Web UI too Or suggest how we can achieve this requirement?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Arjun

Hello All,
We have achieved this requirement by Custom development and approach followed as -
Define UI object model zprgrp & zprgrpquery and object relationship in table ZCRM_OBJTAB
Query Strcuture : ZCRMST_PRGRP_SEARCH & Result List structure : ZCRMST_PRGRP_RESULT
Created Custom component : ZPRGRP with Search /Result view and with GENIL Class, search logic
Defined custom ComponentUsage “ProductGroup1SearchHelp” for ZPRGRP in Standard Component TPMOE
e. Called F4 application for field product _group with help component usage created in step d.

Blocking of Production Work Center

Hi All,
I have already maintained the following PM-PP integration points:
1) Production work center is maintained in equipment master
2) System condition is entered in maintenance order as "Not in operation"
Please let me know how to block the production workcenter for production work when same workcenter (as equipment in PM)is planned for maintenance.
Sundar

Hi,
Once you have done the settings, if you have Maintenance Order on particular eqpt belonging to PP Work Center ,
Then based on system condition the PP Work Capacity will be 0 i believe ..but system will still allow you to create a PP Order on that PP work center .. better thing is to perform Capacity Availablity Check while releasing the PP Order at that PP Work Center and if capacity is not avaialble then u can stop release of the PP Order..
In PP ->OPJK for combination of PP Work order type and plant u have for business function 02 , u have give Overall Profile
Release Capacities as 3
The Overall profile which ur using has control profile & this should have presentation type as 04 for Capacity availability check to happen ..
regards
