I've posted once before on this issue and was told it needed to be directed to a video type forum ( which makes sense) but the finger from other forums keeps being pointed back to a potential Acrobat streaming/compression issue. Here' the question -
I'm doing online videos with a Canon Legria HF M41 which is CMOS and not truly progressive.
They're basically guitar lessons and while they appear fine through iMovie and Quicktime and also on my You Tube channel, the strings appear broken, jagged, artifacty, dashed i.e. not right in other words, when I stream them from the server (Blue Host ) through to Acrobat X Pro documents. The size and quantity require streaming and not embedding. They are set to 100% of the original size.
I'm using iMovie (with Quicktime Pro export options) and exporting using Movie to Quicktime Movie.
The Options.. settings i've got are as follows :
Compression: H.264
Quality : High
Frame Rate: 30
Bite Rate: 128kbits/sec
Encoding mode: multi-pass
Dimensions: 960 + 540 (Current)
Deinterlace Source Video = Clicked on
The Prepare for Internet Streaming box is clicked and Fast Start is selected.
The Data Rate : automatic
Optimised for : Download.
I'm wondering if it should be set to Optimised for : Streaming . With some adjustments in the kbits/sec box ?
I think the problem seems to lie somewhere between my compression settings and Acrobat X Pro or do I need to be thinking about a video camera update.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. Dave I took your advice but I'm still back with the same question.
