Hi Per

Interesting to read this post!

And I can only concur with all your findings.

Started a similar thread over @ dvuser and was pointed here.

Not as well documented as yours, but basically describing the same symptoms -:)

Thanks for your time in describing this issue!

That’d be good, if it wasn’t for the 720p or SD specs of the loops.

Better have them locally on each location.

I like the net a lot, but don’t trust it much for continiuous streaming yet.

[Jeff Carpenter] “Quality? Video in iTunes looks the same as it does anywhere else on my computer.”

It does not on any of mine… (I have a mixed bag of intels and G5’s here)

If you take a video with text-elements in it and view the same file (not a copy) through iTunes or QT, it looks garbled in iTunes and good in QT.

Moving images have less defect.

My pondering here:
As you usually ned QT-pro to look on fullscreen videos except for through iTunes, maybe has put in some limits to iTunes to make people still pay for the (arguably silly) QT-Pro upgrade to get nice fullscreen images?

The downside:
This bad playback falls in line with the negative reports on Apple TV. Maybe it’s not ATV, but iTunes which is the evil-doer.

To Walter:
This is exactly what I’m looking for.
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot for your input!

Sure will order server, but for this?

Its’s say 20 remotely located compuers that playback slighlty different playlists.

I can administer them through VNC/remote desktop and upload all the material to one server from which i upload the files to the individual computer.

As to keynote.
I was planning to export movies from keynote, but Ihadn’t considered it for playback.

Will check.
Thanks!

Bacause i need to make looping playlists where I can quickly change one program “spot” for another.

Say I’m making programmigs for a hotel-chain, and they all need sorta the same program, but not exactly. Then I’ll need to quickly change one spot for another (through Apple Remote desktop) without encoding the whole 30 minutes individually for each computer.

A lot quicker to just change one 30 sec spot for another and just hit “loop-playback”

Agreed, but…

I am very happy with my (not supposed to color grade on) panasonic LCD broadcast.

I am even very happy with how material plays out on my Pioneer plasma after working on the Panny, but… Even my Apple cinema display and the Dell 24″ looks pretty decent -;)

The major problem is that most do not have anything that is remotely close to these viewing facilities.

A well graded video looks ok in almost all circumstances…

I’m just starting to familiarize myself with the fact (?) that the waveform monitor is the only thing to trust, I guess…

Hi.

I am looking into the HPX500, too – even with my Red reservation, but the lack of AVC-I and full raster imager is a real bummer, so I might just get another HVX. It’s a good little cam with all its limitations. Pays for my Red -;)

It is certainly markeded as a HW acceleration to the new ProRes (or whatever it’s called) codec.

All realtime mentions, includes the AJA box.

Agree.

Now it’s not a hoax and vapourware anymore, it would be nice to discuss Red within the Cow context.

With an early reservation…

Rhanks Rafael.

I thought it was some kind of mpeg4…
Too bad!

Anyways
Anyone else? -;)
(hoping here…)

I have squeeze, episode, bitvice and now maybe cleaner, too…
