What is this? Using the 'default' settings in iFFmpeg, the outputted video file renderes as a complete grey screen with minimal detail from the actual movie.

#Boxee video choppy mp4#

dv recordings, can someone suggest software that WILL convert from DV?) The other problem is, that while my audio is in sync, the video plays back slowly on my WDTV (where as with Handbrake encoded files, the video played smoothly, but audio is always out of sync with MP4 but with MKV from Handbrake audio is always in sync).ĥ) Pixel Format.

#Boxee video choppy windows#

Is there a golden rule or something that h264 videos must be encoded in exponent values of 2? I just downloaded Xvid4PSP for Windows and it has the same issue, I'm not seeing a direct/custom bitrate input? (I should mention, Xvid4PSP does not seem to want to import my. No matter what I set it to, it always applies the first selection from the predefined list of bitrates.

#Boxee video choppy manual#

However, when I set it to manual there are two options one of the multiple of twos and then an input box to specify the bit rate. Truthfully, at 1024 the quality is great none the less, but I'd like adjust it to EXACTLY at 4500kbps just like in Handbrake. Why does the MP4 container offer such poor seeking in comparison to MKVs very fast seeking? Is there a workaround or is this just a downfall of MP4?Ĥ) When using iFFmpeg (on Mac) to encode my movies, both MKV and MP4 containers have all my audio perfectly in sync, but now I can't set the bitrate to 4500kbps, it only recognizes 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and so on. but more impressive is how fast seeking executes in the MKV container using the same codec. In the raw DV format, seeking is instantaneous. When clicking and holding onto the marker to seek (scan) through the video, it lags quite badly. Here's what happens: in a 2 hour long video, clicking to any point in the movie, lets say for example, going directly to the 30 minute mark of the movie, causes the video to pause for a split second, play the audio for split second (but no video) and then play the same split second of audio AGAIN but with video and the video plays as normal. No matter what the bitrate is, or how complex the compression is in MP4, seeking through the final outputted videos is pretty lousy, not so much in Quicktime but definitely in VLC. What could Handbrake be doing with the MP4 container that causes my audio to go out of sync?ģ) Seeking (fast forwarding) in MP4 is awful. However, using the SAME settings but changing it to an MKV container, the audio is PERFECTLY in sync, but the problem is now I cannot embed my own Cover Art and compatibility across platforms is greatly diminished. The audio sync gets worse as the video continues to play (if its a 2 hour video, it goes out of sync by a few seconds). The outputted video file gives me audio and video out of sync. anamorphic as none and the video set to 640x480

4500kbps video encoding bitrate (2-pass encoding) But why do the others not crop, while Quicktime X does AND deinterlaced?Ģ) Using Handbrake (on Mac) to convert my movies using High Profile however adjusted to The original VHS recordings have about 3px of a black bar on the left side, which I'm guessing is due to an odd feed from the VHS player.

Quicktime 7 Pro displays the image at 640x480 but its interlaced, and Quicktime X displays the image as deinterlaced but its SLIGHTLY cropped.

#Boxee video choppy mac#

dv files, the video is displayed differently across all my Mac based applications VLC displays an interlaces image 720px x 480px with black bars on the left and right and the actual image centred as 640px. I've lurked this forum many times but now I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my issues ġ) When recording with Vidi and opening the saved. The problems I'm facing are numerous, I've tried googling everything online but there is simply too much to research and its driving me NUTS. I don't care for compatibility on phones, tablets and especially the AppleTV. However, I'd like to incorporate Cover Art for all of my movies (which I will be making myself since theyre home movies). WDTV (not the Live version) and eventually a Boxee Box. dv file with interlaced image, which all files are then converted to an mp4 file (or mkv, I'll explain later) using the h264 codec at 4500kbps for near lossless compression and AAC audio encoding, thus ideally allowing me to play these movies back in stock operating system applications without codecs installed ( Quicktime in OS X or WMP in Windows), a 2nd Gen.
