I transfer all my .mts files to Apple ProRes 422, and proceed to edit. When I am done with the edit and ready to output, I generally select h.264 but sometimes I use Mpeg 4. When I output my video looks a little pixelated and not near as sharp as others that use h.264. I might be overlooking a setting when I export, hence the question here in the forum. Thanks Mark XTR-91 on "H.264 in widescreen?" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/h264-in-widescreen#post-61395 Mon, 09 Aug 2010 12:49:34 +0000 XTR-91 61395@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ Time and again (or maybe it was only once), I've tried exporting H.264 (AVC) format in widescreen using Sony Vegas Pro 9. When I playback video in QuickTime, the video is always 4:3 - no letterboxing, just a squish from 16:9 to 4:3. Is '1.3' the correct 'pixel aspect ratio' for exporting H.264 in widescreen, or is this a limitation of the player version I am using? If not, how do I export H.264 video in widescreen? I've never been able to successfully view widescreen video in QuickTime before, even with the assurance of DV-AVI video that I know is widescreen.

It's about web players in specification to their formats, so I could have just titled it "mac vs. pc" (which is what I'm going to try next time). I am unable to save WMV files in Vegas Pro without getting a dropout, so all of my luck seems to be going H.264. I can watch H.264 files through web pages on my PC through Explorer 8, but am unable to make them buffer when watching online. NO MESSAGE... JUST A WAIT OF TWO HOURS IN ORDER TO GET THE QUICKTIME LOGO TO DISAPPEAR AND PLAY. Bottom line IS THAT IT WON'T STREAM AT ALL - just a strenuous download. How do I get the h.264 video online embedded (or configure QuickTime) where it is actually able to stream? This is not intended to be a 55-hour discussion, or comment that gets nothing at all. I just want an answer. eckleys on "Rendering Blu Ray" http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/rendering-blu-ray#post-52698 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 07:24:49 +0000 eckleys 52698@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro and rendered an hour long video in both H.264 and MPEG4. When played in a PS3, the H264 played for about 20 minutes then started getting jerky; became un-watchable. The MPEG4 copy worked fine. I've never had much sucess with H.264 - either in rendering, and now in playing the DVD. Anyone have any suggestions on other settings with H264, like frame rate?

Even so there are so many options in the preset category that I keep trying different ones. I upload to TubeMogul.com that does some transcoding and crossposting to a variety of server sites, so I don't need to worry much about the specifics. But - I'm not really happy with the quality of the viewing on some of the sites. Question 1 - is there a preferred/best Format/Preset for Youtube HD? Question 2 - I've been asked to provide H.264 with .MOV container. I can't seem to find an option for .MOV output. There are several iPod output presets, but nothing that creates a .MOV file. They all create .mp4 extensions.

In it, I met again many softwares I used to be using during last decade. ACDSEE, PHOTOSHOP, ULTRA EDITOR and many others, some of them are still my favorite tools today. Watch the Windows Vista I am using now, what a similar looking between the explorer and the old ACDSEE classic. The so called thumbnail-view layout, which I first saw in ACDSEE classic, is nowadays a most common user interface standard. Thumbnail-view is not the only strong point that ACDSEE holds. ACDSEE is still the best when the image browsing speed is measured. That's why I am still using ACDSEE as my picture browser, although the Windows now can do it natively(but slowly). This shows, there is always a chance to survive for an unique technology, like the image browsing speed of ACDSEE. On the contrary, when we turn to the speed of video browsing, ACDSEE falls into the common category of DirectShow filter based applications. ACDSEE does not decode video itself, so its video browsing speed is limited by the DirectShow. This gave an opportunity to the video manager I am using now, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB. Based on special video technology from FameRing, Smart Mate for DV and DVB is 20~30 times faster than DirectShow based softwares when browsing and taking thumbs of movies. I have a Hauppauge HD PVR DVB Box with a tuner installed on PC. I've recorded about several hundreds of H.264/AVCHD movies on my hard disk. They are .ts files, aka transport stream. Every now and then, I need to organize them, search them, bookmark them, share them with my friends. Just like what I did to my Jpeg photos. Further more, I want to edit the movies, like cutting commercials out of them, this leads to the most valuable part of Smart Mate for DV and DVB. It has the world's first H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 frame accurate cutter without re-encoding. Smart Mate for DV and DVB not only supports frame accurate cutting on H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2, but also does it in a fastest way. It only re-encodes the gop on start point and end point, middle part of movie remains untouched. This gives the highest speed cutting while reserving highest video quality. So called, "Smart Cut". If anyone else needs an easy but professional management solution for H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 movies from Satellite video receiver, DVB HD PVR, DV Camcorder, or INTERNET, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB is the software you must have. FameRing also has video manager for all popular formats, called MovieShop, I was only using the version customized for H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2. Come back to the ACDSEE, it will always be my image browsing tool, but not for the video browsing and managing. To me, the Smart Mate for DV and DVB is an alternative to ACDSEE on video files. That is why we like competition, which gives us more and more better softwares. May be some time later, Windows will be able to browse H.264/AVCHD/MPEG2 .ts movies natively(cuts frame accurately? I do not think so), like the thumb-nail view it learned from ACDSEE. But it will never be the only software left, because the unique technology always survives, as it is unique. The customers will always have alternative and better choices. J.

Now, I want to import my footage into Premiere Pro CS3, but am unable to due to "unknown or damaged file format." The file is H.264 format and ends in .m2ts or just .mts. How can I get my footage into Premiere? Thank you for your help. -J.

I captured HDV footage to Premiere CS3 with a Sony camera. Project settings at HDV 1080i playing at 29.97 fps and 1440x1080. I'm trying to export it to Vimeo at 1280x720 using the H.264 file format. The problem is once it's exported the footage is very jumpy like it's skipping frames. I've tried playing around with different settings but can't get away from the jumpiness. Any help would be much appreciated. amereservant on "Video Compression . . .

I've done numerous tests and so far the best I've came up with so far is pretty much the MainConcept AVC/ACC (MP4) Codec, 640 x 360, CBR @ 1,200Kbps for HD video streaming. I've played with the On2 Flix Pro, QuickTime Pro (mine doesn't have the H.264 option available for some reason), and recently messed with ProCoder 3. I've encoded the same video using all of them and the ProCoder 3 seems to be slightly better using the H.264 codec, but I'm still not satisfied. WMV 9 codec in Sony Vegas has by far exceeded all of them, but it's not near as flexible of a format as the flash formats. What I'm trying to figure out or achieve is video quality like that of Facebook's video. I'm astounded by the quality of my HD videos when I upload them and Facebook converts them. Can someone give me some really good and helpful tips for achieving much higher quality video, which codec ranks highest (I'm using Sony Vegas), and what is the best method for a target of around 800Kbps - 1200Kbps datarate streaming video. Whoever solves this riddle for me I will forever be in debt to. It's hard to believe it's so difficult finding any sort of compression guides online that is targeted for streaming video from one's own web server.
