- #30: With most movies and TV shows these days shot in 16:9 (and more extreme) aspect ratios, the iPad’s 4:3 screen means most video content will display with large letterbox bars at top and bottom. Double-tapping on the image will zoom you all the way in, cutting off the sides of the image. It’s a nice compromise, yet I kept wishing I could zoom to an interim step, cutting off some of the picture without filling the entire frame. Old stuff here… The iPod, Apple TV and iPhone will play back videos encoded using either the MPEG-4 or H.264 codecs. These are open-standard video formats, and not in any way proprietary to Apple, but at the same time do not represent a broad portion of the video content that is currently available outside of the iTunes Store. Further, this does not represent the video standard that is used by most video recording devices, TV recording devices, or commercial DVDs. The result is that finding video content from anywhere other than the iTunes Store that is already encoded in an Apple-ready format is going to be difficult, and much of this content will therefore need to be converted.For example, most commercial video cameras use either uncompressed Digital Video (or “DV”) or MPEG-2. Commercial DVDs also use MPEG-2 as their format. Videos downloaded from the Internet can be in any number of formats, including DivX, Windows Media Video (WMV) or QuickTime, among others.Apple’s likely reason for these particular choices of codec is that they are an open, established standard, and they both provide a very high level of video and audio quality for a given file size. MPEG-4 has historically been very good in this regard to begin with, and the H.264 codec has only improved on the quality and file size efficiency.
- #31: Choosing a recording pre-set… (640x480 or 720x480 for widescreen) OR 1280x720 for HD 720p Choose one of the standard video resolutions used in your video editor) In SL I record at 1280x720 using SnapzProX on a mac ( h.264 codec or uncompressed) or iShowU. I slice up video in QuickTime Pro & edit in Final Cut Pro. I usually capture SL voice or do voice overs & add music in video editor in post-production. I use Camtasia Studio 6 on a PC.
