I’ve updated my YouTube articles on Ken Stone’s site:

https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/you_tube_hd_gary.html

It includes a couple of Compressor presets that you can use as a good starting point for encodes bound for HD display on YouTube.

Cheers.

If you are using Compressor 3, you can go under the Window menu and choose Layouts > Standard 1440 x 900. This will place the Settings window in the lower left. Alternately you could choose Window > Settings or Command 3.

Poppie,

I see that you referenced my old Ken Stone article that I wrote just about a year ago. It was sorely in need of an update, especially in the face of all the changes in both YouTube and Flash encoding (Moviestar). So, I took some time and revisited the whole “Encoding for YouTube” world and wrote a complete update to the article, which Ken posted today:

Hey Bill,

Is this something accessed via the front menus? Is it a fairly straight forward proceedure that’s covered in the manual?

I’ll be renting this deck on occassion so I obviously want to maximize the time.

Thank you in advance.

Hey Gary, how’re doing? Sorry if I wasn’t clear….

I am attempting to perform the separate action of Black and Code by pressing the propper button a the top of the Edit to Tape window.

My issue I belive is in the deck settings: VITC, PRESET, REGEN etc. Which are all contained in the menus accessed via the front panel.

For exampl I got it to work correctly last night by switch it LTC, but this morning that wouldn’t work…swithcing the deck to VITC worked??

That’s why my initial question was is there a way to use the deck’s presets to lay down some code so I could THEN peform an Assemble edit, which the LHe does perfectly.

Thank you.

Have you recently upgraded QT and/or Compressor? Meaning did everything work prior and now it doesn’t?

I have a 4 disk (1tb) RAID running internally off the sonnet card. I use SoftRaid (www.softraid.com) to drive the disks. What I like about softraid is that it will “tune” the raid for digital video allowing you to partition the disks so you are only using the fastest part of the discs. Currently I have the raid set to 66% capacity of the discs. That seems to be the best stopping point whil still getting decent throughput. I can fill up the RAID and still get 175 mbs transfer (using the BM tester and the Kona SD card). This is RAID 0, so the issues of loss are obviously not addressed, but softraid does actively monitor all discs for errors (not the BS S.M.A.R.T monitoring, but actively checking for I/O errors on every read and write). So if a disc starts throwing errors you know it’s time to replace. Granted not as easy as if were mirrored but far from a disaster.
