  How to improve my conversion methode from HDV format to Web diffusion

  Posted by Foucault Martial on July 12, 2008 at 9:54 am

  Hi to all and thanks, since I’m in this group I lhave learned too
  much… but not enought.

  Please, can you help me to improve my conversion process.
  I would like to publish my video on the web in “Normal quality” and in
  “High def Quality”, so for low and speed connection.

  Actually I use footage from Sony HVR-HD1000P
  1080 50i.

  1 – I capture m2t files with HDV Split (sceene detect on)
  2 – I open a HDV1080i25 (50i) Pal project on Ppro CS3
  3 – I import my media, edit in the timeline and ….(wait for the red
  line ;))

  At the end
  4 – I export in:
  Quicktime (Animation codec)
  640×360 (16:9)
  square pixel
  deinterlace
  …
  5 – I convert in Squeeze Sorenson to .flv in 640×360.
  I’m shure I can have better quality with less big files.

  Personnaly I prefere use flv format for the web, there is less
  conflict for compatibility.

  Why not ? Pourquoi pas?

  I export a QT using current settings (not scaling it or putting it into the Animation codec or deinterlacing), so I get a full resolution QT. Bring that into Squeeze and apply size, deinterlace, etc. there, et voilà!. What .flv codec are you using in Squeeze (and what version of Squeeze)? You should be using the ON2VP6 codec. If you don’t have that you should get the option or update Squeeze. Flash quality won’t be good without ON2VP6.

  You have 2 ways to export to QT from FCP. The 1st one is to Export to QuickTime (either selecting Save As Self-Contined, or as a reference QT), the 2nd way is to Export To QT Using Conversion. Choose the 1st way and use Current Settings and you’re exporting in the same codec you edited in. All the sizing and deinterlacing is done in Squeeze.

  Sorry, I didn’t see the AE CS3 tag (and I see you added the PPCS3 just on your last post!). But I should have gotten a clue when I saw XP. 🙂
  Why aren’t you exporting directly to Flash from CS3? The ON2VP6 codec is included in the Export to Adobe Encoder.
  Why are you going to Squeeze, do you like the extra step, or do you think the quality is better?
