Will there be problems distributing H.264 videos to PC users?

I occasionally film events performed by a charitable organisation.
Families who have participated in these events obviously would like copies
However, mass-producing DVDs for distribution is not a practical proposition.
Uploading the videos to my Digital Vault for people to download would appear to be the perfect solution as it is quicker than Vimeo etc. and there is no reduction of quality and file sizes.
I know this will work perfectly for people using Macs but are PC users likely to experience any problems? I don't want to go to the trouble of uploading only to discover that most people can't use them.
The videos will be H.264, AAC, 854x480 with a data rate of around 2,000kbps.

My Digital Vault is simply a storage space on the internet, so the idea would be for them to download the files so that they could watch them at leisure on their PCs or even view them on TV via something like the Western Digital HDTV device.
It sounds as though they could download and watch the videos as long as they have iTunes installed.
Is that free for PC users and would they have any problems installing it . . . . . assuming their computers are not too old?

Will there be a lighter version of FF4 for XP users?

I have tried Firefox 4, and it crushes everytime I close it, I agree it is faster, but the rest of my PC is much slower. It is also very greedy in terms of resources, and often crushes when I have several tabs open. I'm back to the older version of FF (3.6.17); I'm currently using WinXP.
Will there be a lighter version of FF4 for XP users?
Thank you.

No, Firefox 4 is finished. Other than security updates that's all there is of Firefox 4. Firefox 5 is slated for a June release.
I'm having no such problems with WinXP on an AMD64 2.2GHz processor with 2GB RAM. How does your hardware measure up?
Have you tried a fresh Profile?

Mp3 audio channel problems in h.264 video file

I'm trying to encode an mp4/h.264 video file with an mp3 audio channel. I'm tried encoding it with both Adobe Media Encoder and ffmpeg (using libmp3lame). I'm streaming the video files using ffmpeg to stream the file through Red5 as a live stream. When the Flex AIR clients play the stream (using the Spark VideoDisplay component), I hear a frequent sort of chirping sounding audio artifact. I've also tried playing these files directly from my harddrive in a simple AIR app using NetStream and the Video component. When I try this I don't hear any audio at all. In both tests if I use an FLV (On2 VP6) file with an mp3 channel it sounds fine. Unfortunately I need to use h.264 video.
I've tried using AAC audio but am having a different issue with that: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4096536
Any ideas why I am seeing this audio artifact problem and how to resolve it?

Most h.264 should work.
Have you tried FILE/IMPORT MOVIE and then navigate to the h.264 file?
If that does not work, but the h.264 will play in QuickTIme PLayer, then you can get MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (which is free). Drag the h.264 file into MPEG Streamclip. Then FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Apple Intermediate Codec for Compressions. You can use this file in iMovie by clicking FILE/IMPORT MOVIE.

Will there be problems installing LabVIEW 7.1 if I upgrade to Windows XP?

We have a program in LabVIEW 7.1 running on Windows 2000. We plan to upgrade all of our computers to Windows XP. Will there be any problems installing LabVIEW 7.1 onto Windows XP?

Hi,
No, you won't experience any problems with that upgrade. LabVIEW 7.1 is fully compatible on Windows XP, just as it is on Windows 2000.

Sync problems using H.264 video in FCE timeline...please help!!!!

Okay. I'm reposting this question to see if anyone can help.
I'm shooting on a Panasonic HDC-HS700 and it's working fine. I use Aunsoft MTS Converter to convert to H.264 so that I can edit my footage in Final Cut Express. When I play back in the composer window, everything looks fine. BUT when I start putting clips in the timeline, the audio and video all out of sync and wacky. I will cut a clip in the composer but when I play it in the timeline the heads and tails are cut a few frames differently and the audio and video is out of sync. So basically, it's all fine in the composer but all messed up in the timeline.
What can I do to fix this? Should I try converting to a different format? Is this something that would not be a problem in Final Cut Pro??? Please give me any suggestions! I can also provide more information if that would help.

Hi -
What is the source footage from the camera?
If it is HD, then it needs to be converted to Apple Intermediate Codec at 29.97 FPS. The audio needs to be converted to 48Khz AIFF.
An excellent free convertor is MPEG Streamclip, which is available at
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
H.264 is a acquisition and delivery codec, it is not suitable for editing in any past or current iteration of FCE or FCP. Attempting to edit in H.264 results in the problems you are currently experiencing - and many, many more.

Problems Importing H.264 video -- are converters the answer?

Hi all,
I just picked up an HTC One S smartphone which is running Ice Cream Sandwich. The video is great. I already have clips accumulated and I wanted to edit them into a short film on imovie, but I'm unable to import the files for some reason. Both iMovie and FCP won't let me open any of the H.264/MPEG-4 files the One S records in. I can, however, play the files on my editing machine, which is a 3-year-old iMac running 10.5.8 with a 2.66 Duo and 4 GB of RAM.
I'm sort of new to mac editing software, but I'm now wondering if constantly finding new converting software is the norm, just a fact of life that I have to deal with as a new editor.
Any help would be much appreciated. Happy hunting!

Sold an iOS unit - forgot to logout from iCloud - will there be problems?

So, I sold my iOS unit, and before you sell it, you are supposed to do the following steps, as instructed on the following website: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support:
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you've removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Sign out of iCloud:
Tap Settings > iCloud, scroll down, and tap Sign Out. In iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account.
Tap Sign Out again, tap Delete from My iPhone, then enter your password.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device, including any credit or debit cards you added for Apple Pay and any photos, contacts, music, or apps. It will also turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you're using iOS 7 or later and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Your content won't be deleted from iCloud when you erase your device.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner. If you aren't using a SIM-card with your device, you can contact them to get help transferring service to the new owner.
Well, I did step 2 and 3, I did a Erase all Content and Settings.
But, I forgot step 2, logging out from iCloud.
What I did was I turned off Find my Phone in iCloud settings, then did a total reset
Now, here is my questions:
1. Will the new owner have any problems activating his iCloud account on the device, or will my iCloud ID show up?
2. Also, am I logged out from iCloud after the reset?
I think it would be strange that iCloud credentials would not dissapear after a total reset of the phone, and I am curious as to why you have to perform step 2 at all when you do a total reset...
All help is appreciated

Thanks for the input.
I actually turned off Find my Phone before I did the reset (was mandatory to turn off Find my Phone before I even could do a reset), so it is no longer present among my units in iCloud.
That would mean that the new owner can type in their icloud username and password without problems?

Will there be problems if I move referenced iphoto pics in aperture 3

If haven't imported my pictures from iphoto because I want to keep it around and don't want to have double libraries.
But what if I move or delete pics in aperture - which will be my main editor? Will they move in iphoto as well? I'm thinking this may cause problems in the long run.
Or am I just being paranoid?
Thanks
Frank

I'm sorry your question isn't clear.
If haven't imported my pictures from iphoto because I want to keep it around and don't want to have double libraries.
So: Guessing at what you're asking...
If you have referenced files in iPhoto and Aperture, then unless you deliberately trash the Masters, deleting the files from Aperture will not affect iPhoto, or vice versa.

Will there be problems on my iMac on Mountain Lion if I upgrade to Maverick?

Except for two times that my iMac on Mountain Lion froze completely recently, my iMac has been working just great. I am concerned that upgrading to Maverick might cause problems. Any suggestions?

We have not way of knowing that. If you have no particular need to upgrade, then I suggest you don't bother. You can always get an external hard drive and install Mavericks on it so you can see if you really want to upgrade. Or you can clone your existing internal HDD to a backup drive. Then you can upgrade one. If you aren't happy you still have your old system.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound. Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture. I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4). Is there some problem with the driver?

When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

My webpage will not display h.264 videos. Why?

My website uses h.264 codec and the video is not being displayed in internet explorer 10. Is there a fix for this?

Hi,
Internet Explorer 10 does support h.264 with the HTML video element.
(http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/graphics/videoformatsupport/default.html)
Let's try to check H.264 video in IE compatibility view:

You can also change document mode as IE 9 to check the issue:

Will there be a fix for Firefox's problems with Hotmail. I have gone back to 3.5.9 but mostly I am disappointed by the lack of action on this serious problem where a major and critical feature of a major international website is unavailable in the Firefox browser.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.hotmail.com

We've reached out to the Hotmail team and they've determined that this is a bug in their code. (It was masked by a timing issue in 3.5 that was fixed in 3.6.) We've worked with them to develop a fix but they may not have deployed it yet.
