Ya we solved it on ICQ.

Basically, he had WMVs that he wanted to brand with his logo. But the problem is that if you take a compressed WMV into Vegas, brand it and export it, you get a Super compressed crappy looking file.

So, to brand a WMV, you must first uncompress it into an AVI. Using Microsoft's DV codec usually does a good job. No loss of quality whatsoever (be sure to keep the same aspect ration, frame size, Frame rate, etc.)

With the uncompressed AVI, do whatever you please... Watermark it, chop it up, whatever floats your boat.

When you're done changing the whole thing. Recompress that AVI into a WMV, BUT, remember to compress it exactly like the original WMV was (Same KBPS - KiloBytes Per Second), same frame rate, same EVERYTHING.)

And voila!!!

But green and blue are less likely to be found in images (especially the blue and green they use), so you have less chances of unwanted artifacts being lost.

Its that simple

Actually it has little to do with dominant colours and nature. green is everywhere in nature in fact it is the dominant colour. you need to get out of the city a little.

Red tends to bleed very badly so generally its avoided.

The eye is MOST sensitive to Blue. so video compression schemes throw away (compress) a lot of the blue in an image. This makes it a very poor candidate for chromakeying.

That leaves green as the only real choice left.

I wish I had known this a while back. Wasted hours of footage using a blue screen

I have seen a fantastic product which is a cloth made of small glass beads. it reflects green light. the camera is then fitted with special LED's around the lense which illuminate the cloth and nothing else. the result is near perfect chromakeying.

I cant recall what the product was called but it wasnt cheap.

A quick search failed to find it. but its out there somewhere

I need a video editing program for watermarking videos ...... whats a good quality inexpensive one to buy ? I don't want to buy a deluxe suite package as pretty much the only thing that it will be used for is watermarking.

thanks!

I checked your original thread and someone suggested something that seemed to be a pretty good solution to your problem.

I'd suggest the exact same thing he did

I just checked out the product you mentioned and that is some crazy stuff... not quite sure I would spring for that though... I'd have to see it in action.

mb · 10-07-2005, 01:59 PM

When you rip video from a DVD and the dimensions are 720x480, is it best to encode that video to the same aspect ratio or change it to 640x480? I've asked different people and always get different answers.

To me, it makes sense to keep the encoded material exactly the same as the source... but I guess there is some mathematical equation thingie that I'm not considering.

I've also been told to "squish" the screengrabs down to 640x480 when taking them from a 720x480 source.

As you can see, I'm totally confused. My goal is to take ripped DVD material and encode it in the highest possible quality.

am I missing something?

thanks,

marc

NoWhErE · 10-07-2005, 03:04 PM

Well, basically, its all a question of pixels. Ripped DVD footage is in 720x480 and have rectangular pixels for a ratio of 3:2.

As for normal TV video (or even what you see on your screen), the standard is 640x480 with square pixels to give you a ratio of 4:3.

Thats why when you squish your images down to 640x480, they look better on your computer monitor. So if you're gonna RIP from a DVD and encode for the web, ya it'd be better to squish it down to 640x480 for a better, clearer, ratioed image.

I don't know if there is a specific program that does this. But Adobe After Effects can create a render Queue for you. YOu just tell it what you want to render, set the settings, and hit render.

Do you accept donations?

Question-

Is 320x240 the best size to use for web video?

I bought some content dvds. I seem to be losing alot of quality when I convert them to .wmv. This is how I am doing them:

1.Copy VOB files to harddrive.
2.Split VOB files into 7 smaller ones.
3.Use Flask to convert the VOB files into raw AVI files. I want to change the size to 400x300, but it seems I need to keep to multiples of 16 so I have to use the size 400x304!
4.Use cleaner to encode them into .wmv

Any better way of doing it?

thnx

Of course I accept donations

I would say that 320x240 is the optimal size for web. With a 320x240 video, you don't need to compress TOO much to give a fairly good result. If you keep the file at 720x480 or 640x480, you'll have to compress it much more to get it down to an acceptable file size.

BUT, here's a hint if you want to reduce the size of the file a WEE bit more. Most videos come to you at 29.97 fps. Reduce it down to 24 fps. The difference isn't noticeable, but the reduced file size will be.

As for your DVD problem, I figure that your video is coming in at 720x480 (thats the standard DVD format). First thing you might want to do is convert your video to 640x480 when rendering the AVI.

Now I see you're using alot of programs to do your work, but of course, you can always do all of this in one program, such as Premiere.

When you split up the videos, do you do any editing? or do you just split them up, if so, you could probably skip the AVI process by getting a WMV splitter.

Basically you'd just take your VOB files, convert them into the WMV size you want and get a WMV splitter to seperate your files. You'd probably save 1-2 hours of render time.

Thanks for starting this thread.

So my question is what is the best method for storing the endless gigs of raw AVI files? After I shoot a scene and I have a 12gig avi file then I edit it, add titles, etc... I want to be able to keep a master copy of the editted footage at the same quality as the original so that I can use it for making DVDs, etc... I'm new to shooting content on a regular basis, and quickly filled up all of my available hard drive storage. I guess one method is sending back to MiniDV, but what is the shelf live of a MiniDV tape?

Well, haven't seen anyone in this thread in awhile

I believe that a similar question had already been asked.

The answer is very simple. For long term storage, send it back to a Mini-DV tape and keep it in a safe, dry place.

A Mini-DV tape's shelf life will outlast any Hardrive, CD or DVD.

If you have the budget, you can also back them up on extra HDs. But my trick is to transfer everything back to Mini-DV. Make sure that the transfer goes by smoothly and you don't loose any frames and that the audio isn't jerky. Cause once you erase those files, they are gone for good.

Try mixing down the tracks. As for export times, I don't have any trouble. I'm using Avid Xpress Pro HD w/ Mojo DNA

With an Avid it's simple. Just use the tracking feature in FX to keyframe where the face needs to be blurred. The machine will interpolate the frames between the keyframes keeping the face obscured.

Here is a video tutorial that shows the tracking feature.
