Which video size for webpage background?

Hi, my client was interested in having a video run full screen, as background of a webpage, similar to this:
http://www.shutterstock.com/video/landing/beach
I have never worked on a video project made for the web (other than YouTube), so I was unsure about the size to use for the project/ the size and type to export as from Premiere.
The client wants to use several stock videos. On Shuttershock, you have three options of size for downloading the video as 1)Web 2)SD (852 x 480) 3)HD (1920 x 1080)
My first inclination was to use the Web size (due to bandwidth, etc), but it's only 426x240. I was afraid it'll show as poor quality if set up as the page's entire background. Ideally, something like HD would be great visually, but wouldn't the size of the video be too much to handle as the background of a webpage (not sure if it's going to be implemented within the html, but I'd imagine so)?
I don't know much about webpage building or anything, so any information would be helpful! Thanks!

The width of the video should match the width of the website page.
eg 960px is a common width for site pages.
Ask the site designer.

Best Video Size for YouTube

I know YouTube says to post videos at 320x240 but they upscale the image so the videos do not play at 320x240. I have a question into YouTube but they may take days to respond. I've searched through many YouTube questions here and found different information.
My question is what is the playback size for the videos on YouTube? I want to make my videos the same size so they won't be upscaled, thus quality lost.
I've read here that YouTube plays back at 425x350 while another says 450x357. Anyone know?

Wow, thanks for that in-depth reading!
Two things: first, I am going to post the direct link to your download here:
http://www.kenstone3.net/fcphomepage/images_youtube_compressor_gary/Youtube_comppresets.zip
(it is kind of hidden in the middle of the text)
Secondly, in playing with these presets, I disagree about the de-interlacing not taking any extra time. In my tests, your SD preset said it was going to take four hours to finish a five minute clip of mine.... disabling the de-interlacing, it jumps to four minutes to complete. I will do both and see how much visual difference there is, but that is substantial for me! (sixty times as long)
Any who, I am running some different tests... will let you know once I have some results of my own.

Which video card for Aperture and dual monitors?

I have a G5 dual 2.0 with a GeForce FX 5200 video card that is driving one 23" Cinema display. I need to upgrade my card per the specs to run Aperture. I have also been thinking of getting a second 23" display. Can someone recommend the best video card for me. I know very little about video cards and have been reading a lot this morning. Thanks,
Dave

Hi Dave;
No. PCIx and PCIe or PCI Express are not the same thing.
PCIx is an extended or slight sped up version of PCI. While PCIe is a switched bus structure instead.
Hence they are not the same. That is what all of the big news is about Apple has made the leap over to PCI Express.

Which video card for Mac G4?

I have Mac G4 that has been upgraded to Ram 1536ram, Cpu-PowerPC7400. I have a17" lcd studio display. I would like to know what would be a good video card for my Mac. I have been advised to get a ATI Radeon 9200, would this be a reliable card and give me the power I need with graphics?

Be sure to go ATI, I am not very happy with the results of my Nvidia card; on that note, don't let the amount of VRAM fool you like it did me, I'd be happier with a 128mb ATI card than my 256 Nvidia card; its just not fast enough for intense graphics (mostly gaming)

Photo size for webpage

What file settings and image sizing (eg- quality, resolution, colour space, pixels etc) should I use to upload photos to my webpage? I dont want to use the web galleries tool.
Thanks

I use resolution 72 which is really ugly if printed... I think watermark is distracting to the viewer
Also, the Kodak "golden standard" 778x517 is often used for this purpose. While it's pretty close to 800x600, supposedly it displays a bit faster, especially true for slower systems
As Rikk previously mentioned, the file export specification of "resolution" whatever the number (even 72) has no bearing on someone's ability to make a print from the file at whatever resolution they choose (within the limits of the pixel dimensions you make available); it's the pixel dimensions that will limit printed size/quality. Perhaps you meant that you use a jpeg "quality" setting of 72, which is indeed fairly low. That might even be set even lower to enable reasonably good web display yet discourage printing.
As to use of watermarks, yes, I agree they can be distracting, but not necessarily. A watermark can be chosen that is a compromise--minimally distracting yet prominent enough to discourage some (maybe not many?) from making a print.
As to the supposed (Kodak) "golden standard 778x517" : I wonder if you are thinking of 768 x 512? In any case, it's certainly not in any way a unique dimension that offers a special advantage in display speed. Sure it should load "a bit" faster than 800x600 since it contains a smaller number of pixels.

Estimating Video Size for Project

Hello All,
I have captured 626x480 video from a camcorder and wish to author a dvd5 project but I am uncertain as to how to estimate the video's running time such that it fits onto a 4.7gb dvd. Is this a way in imovie to notify the user if such a video would surpass this limit?
My workflow would be the following, edit the raw footage then export the video (Large 720x540) and from idvd import the video file. Does this make sense?
Thanks.

iDVD has a hard limit of 2 hours total video on a DVD-5, including video embedded in menus. By minimizing the length of menu video loops I have been able to get up to 115 minutes of actual video using the Professional Quality option for DVD compression (which takes longer to process).
If you want to include extras such as still photos on the DVD, you will reduce your running time proportionally to the space they use.
The expensive professional compression software in Final Cut Studio will let you get more video on a DVD by using a lower bit rate, if you are willing to accept a loss in quality. You also have to be willing to learn how to use a very complex program with a lot of options.

Which Video Card for MDD - Nvidia or ATi Radeon?

Mac nVidia GeForce 4 Ti 4600/Ti4600 128MB Video Card G4
BRAND NEW
I saw this item on eBay, and it looks like a good deal, but elsewhere on this forum someone said the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro was preferred for the Mirror Drive Door model.
The NVidia seems to have the best price. Assuming either are compatible (need AGP) which would be recommended, and why?
My present card is 64MB. I would hope that one with 128MB would improve performance with my Final Cut Express and 3D programs, such as Carrara and SketchUp, and give better results with an LCD monitor (and the card supports dual monitors, I think)
many thanks,
K.

Hi Keith-
The biggest problem with the Geforce4 Ti is lack of Core Image support. This is of major importance in OS X, important to some graphics/video editing applications and is indicative of a GPU that is more powerful than the cards that don't support Core Image.
The Radeon 9800 Pro is a card that supports Core Image, and does so with ease.
For applications, Quartz Extreme is a given, but Open GL is also of concern. The Radeon 9800 Pro scores higher in Open GL benchmarks than the Geforce4 Ti.
As for 3D, shaders are of importance. The Radeon cards often offer better shader support than the Geforce cards. This is true when comparing the Geforce4 Ti and the Radeon 9800 Pro.
Not only is the architecture of the Radeon 9800 Pro better, 8 pixel pipelines vs. 4, but the drivers for the Radeon are superior. In fact, it is a gamers secret in some applications, to use Radeon shader drivers to get better performance out of their Geforce cards.
Not to be overlooked, but the amount of VRAM is not as important as the GPU clock speed, and the memory (VRAM) speed. The Geforce4 Ti has a GPU of 300mhz, and DDR VRAM at 325mhz (effective 650mhz).
The Radeon 9800 Pro has a GPU clocked at 378mhz, and DDR VRAM clocked at 337.5mhz (effective 675mhz).
Again, the Radeon 9800 Pro is superior in architecture.
Both cards can support dual displays, both having a DVI and a VGA port. A big difference is if you use OS X Leopard. Again, the Radeon card stands supreme, with many OS 9, or "legacy" Geforce cards loosing dual display ability in Leopard. This problem is often reported here.
If, however, the majority of your work is in OS 9, the Geforce4 Ti is a better card, with better native support +in OS 9+. The Radeon 9800 Pro came much later than the last OS 9.2.2, so it doesn't have the benefit of native 3D drivers. It works fine as a basic graphics card in OS 9, but doesn't support accelerated 3D as well as the Geforce4 Ti.
As for price, since we're comparing flashed cards, the Radeon 9800 Pro costs the same (as the Geforce4 Ti) from a very competent, reliable seller, though you have an extra $10 in shipping.

Which Video Card for G5 dual 2ghz?

Would there be a significant difference between running Aperture with the ATI RADEON X800 Mac Edition - 256MB 8X AGP Pro Video Card and running it with the ATI RADEON 9800XT 8X AGP 256MB Video Card?
There is a big difference in cost.

my G5 is like yours and i do occasionally get it ... not nearly like i did with my old card (9650) but more frequently than my MBP (which is virtually NEVER) ...
the X800XT is the BEST card that you can get for an AGP G5 ...
barefeats.com has test results about this card, but that won't give you your real world experiences ... my experiences are positive, very positive and i work with 5D RAW files ... ~12MB ...
there are a lot of threads in this forum where people give their experiences with the X800XT ...

Which video card for 24-inch iMac?

I am not a gamer... is there any reason for me to get the 7600 card over the 7300 in the 24-inch iMac? Thanks.

Hello,
I am not a gamer... is there any reason for me to get
the 7600 card over the 7300 in the 24-inch iMac?
Thanks.
If you are not playing games, then either card will be fine.
But, the better card will improve almost any program that displays a lot of graphics, animations, or video to the screen.
So, if you do any video editing, graphical animation work, drawing, 3D art, or anything else where fluid video and fast processing of graphical information is important, then you'll appreciate the higher-end card.
If all you are doing is e-mail, web-browsing, and office related tasks, then you probably don't need it.
But, consider that it is a one-time upgrade. So, if you think that your needs could change, then perhaps you should get the upgrade to help "future-proof" your computer.
On the 24-inch iMac, the video card is a portable / laptop-type video card that is installed in a socket. So, it is removable and upgradeable later. But, it will cost you more to replace it later than you'll pay in the price difference now. And, those cards are not exactly available everywhere (though they may be in the future).
The video cards on the other iMac models are not upgradeable at all. They are permanently embedded into the main logic board.
I hope this helps.

Which video card for video editing?

I am about to order my first iMac. I've always had MacBook Pros and have never had to choose a video card as I always just got the one that came with the laptop. I will primarlily use the iMac for video editing using FCPX
I do not know what kind of impact the video card has on vdeo editing with FCPX.
I do not play video games and I do not create complex 3D graphics.
Will I notice any better performance if I go for the faster, more expensive video card that is offered for the iMac?

not on edit.
on Im-/Export, a 'faster' GPU with more VRam could make a difference.
but ... 'waiting' 12 or 15minutes? ... is a 20% improvement, but less than a coffee/cigarette/hello-my-dear-texting. Plus,you can do other things meanwhile ...

Which video effects for vhs lp mode?

a single vhs tape containing six hours of video is captured to mpg format. as you can imagine, the quality is lower than one might like. studying every video effect offered by pp4 would take me a lifetime. can you suggest a few effects i might look at for improving the quality of this low quality video?
--david (neophyte pp4 user)

Craig's right though, I know it's a pain and will take a lot more HD space, but if you can capture as DV, make your changes, and then export to mpg the results will be much better. I made DVD's of three old VHS tapes that were multi-generation copies and decades old. They were concert videos shot from the audience with VHS, and they had faded out terribly over the years. I mostly just did some sharpening and adjusted the color, gamma, light, and contrast. I also deinterlaced with TMPGEnc while doing the mpg conversion. They all came out quite a bit better. The bigger challenge was restoring the sound.

Can I change video sizes for my ipod classic?

I want to play all my videos for my ipod classic, but some are the wrong dimensions and I want to know if That's fixable.

There are no free games for an iPod Classic other than those built into when you bought it.
For games that you can purchase go to the iTunes Store, then click App Store, then iPod Click Wheel Games.

What is the best working video size for Ipod Touch 4G?

I have tried 960x640 or 720x480 with the aspect set to 3:2 when converting.
But itunes keeps telling me that they dont work on my ipod so I have to convert them again.
Please someone tell me how to put videos on my ipod while keeping the best quality possible.

How are you converting? Presets for Handbrake are available for the iPad and iPhone 4 and should work for the 4G iPod. See:
