]]> Editing video footage from a DSLR HD camera with Adobe Premiere versions like CS4 and smaller was definitely a pain. Incredible slow when working with the native material, incredible complicated when working with proxy files etc.

Now with Adobe Premiere CS5 editing DSRL HD footage is working more smooth. Jason Levine shows how footage from different cameras with different resolutions and frame rates can be edited now. Sure a 64-bit machine with sufficient RAM and CPU power helps.

]]> vollbildaufzeichnung-29032009-170823.jpg You want so store a video on your iPhone but you are not able to do it because the video is in the wrong format? You can do it with a free video converter called SUPER. It’s a GUI which uses FFmpeg, MEncoder, MPlayer, 264, mppenc, ffmpegtheora and the theoravorbis RealProducer. All these tools are open source.
 

To convert your video files for your iPhone simple use “Apple – iPod / iPone (mp4)” as output container, select the input file and start the convert process. Output files are default stored in C:\Program Files\eRightSoft\Super\OutPut. It’s also possible to convert .FLV files to the iPhone format.

Once the file is converted drag and drop it into iTunes and sync your iPhone. I think this sync process is not a very intuitive thing in iTunes…

Nice free and easy to use tool!

Here is a screen shot of the following video grabbed from the Internet using the RealPlayer:

]]> If you deal with media files like audio and video you will sometimes need more technical information about such files, like codec, bitrate, fps, aspect ratio and more. To gather such information there is a nice tool called “MediaInfo” available for download. Once installed MediaInfo just right click on your media file and open it with MediaInfo. That’s all.

]]> You are looking for a video player which simply plays your movies? Sounds easy, but usually the Microsoft Media Player complains some missing codecs, other players are slow, often crashing… Watching different kind of video formats seems difficult on the PC. Too many formats are available, .WMV, .MOV, .MPG, .AVI and many more.

The crazy thing: .WMV is not equal .WMV. The codec behind is really a different thing. In my opinion best solution would be that only MPEG2 and MPEG4/H.264 would be used. But as usual licensing and other policital issues make it more difficult. So we are faced to a very high number of video formats and codecs.

Quite annoying for the user who only wants to watch a movie which will often not work. My suggestion is to use the VLC media player. It’s free to use,  supports almost any video format and works on all well known operating systems.

Furthermore it supports many options for video streaming. Below is a screen shot of a NASA HD video which shows the Endeavor launch on mission STS-126. There you will find other HD videos.
