What is a Video Format? 2 properties of a video format. Container: The container (Outside) describes the structure of the file: where the various pieces are stored, how they are interleaved, and which codecs are used by which pieces. It may specify an audio codec as well as video. It is used to package the video& its components (audio/metadata) and is identified usually by a file extension such as.AVI,.MP4 or.MOV. Codec: A codec (Inside), short for "coder/decoder“, is a way of encoding audio or video into a stream of bytes. It is the method used to encode the video and is the chief determiner of quality. 8 Source:

What Format Should I Use? Digital Storage Space-­ To calculate the amount of storage space you will need for a project, digital video requires approximately 200 MB per minute of footage, or roughly 12 GB per hour. Of course this varies according to your recording device and the quality it is set to record at..Frames per Second– The standard for FPS is 29.97, increasing the FPS allows for more images per second thus a smoother image. Decreasing FPS will make the video a bit choppy and not early as smooth. Video Bitrate- ­Bitrate is a measurement of the number of bits that are transmitted over a set length of time. Your overall bitrate is a combination of your video stream, audio stream & metadata in your file with the majority coming from your video stream. The higher the bit rate the better the quality the bigger it will be. Resolution– This is the number of pixels present in the images of the video. This determines whether your video is standard definition or high definition. The higher the resolution the clearer the image the bigger the file 9 Source:

Popular Video Containers AVI (Audio Video Interleave): a Windows‘ standard multimedia container. MPEG-­ ‐ 4 Part 14 (known as.mp4): is the standardized container for MPEG­ 4. FLV (Flash Video): the format used to deliver MPEG video through Flash player. MOV: Apple's QuickTime container format. OGG, OGM &OGV: open-­standard containers. MKV (Mastroska): another open-­ ‐ specification container that you've seen if you've ever downloaded anime. VOB (DVD Video Object): It's DVD's standard container. ASF: a Microsoft format designed for WMV and WMA—files can end in.wmv or.asf. 10 Source:

Popular Video Codecs MPEG (Moving Pictures Expert Group): three video formats, MPEG 1, 2, and 4. MPEG-­ ‐ 1: Old, supported by everything (at least up to 352x240), reasonably efficient. A good format for the web. MPEG-­ ‐ 2: A version of MPEG-­ ‐ 1, with better compression. 720x480. Used in HDTV, DVD, and SVCD. MPEG-­ ‐ 4: A family of codecs, some of which are open, others Microsoft proprietary. H.264: Most commonly used codecs for videos uploaded to the web. Part of the MPEG-­ ‐ 4 codec. MPEG spinoffs: mp3 (for music) and Video CD. WMV (Windows Media Video): A collection of Microsoft proprietary video c odecs. Since version 7, it has used a special version of 11 Source:

Exporting FLV From Adobe Connect The original recording is still on the Adobe Connect server. This is just a copy of the file. The offline recording is saved as an FLV file, which can be viewed in FLV playback, and distributed via , CD, or a server. (Note: Creating an offline recording takes approximately the same amount of time as the duration of the original meeting recording.) You can minimize the offline recording window or view other windows on top of it without interfering with the contents of your recording. Do not change the size of the window. Doing this will affect the recording. Disable your screen saver Disable any power settings that make your monitor turn off and/or your computer go to sleep 12

Exporting FLV From Adobe Connect 1.From the Adobe Connect Central home page, click Meetings or Training, and then click the meeting or classroom that includes the recording. 2.Click Recordings. 3.Next to the specific recording you want to use, click on “Actions”. 4.Click “Make FLV”. Select If Help text appears, click Proceed with Offline Recording. Then specify a location for the finished FLV file. The meeting begins playing, creating the offline file. 5.As needed, click the Pause/Resume, Stop And Save, and Start New controls:  The Pause/Resume button temporarily stops the offline recording. This functionality can be useful if you must download a large file and do not want to strain system resources. When you click Resume, the recording continues from where it was paused. The finished recording is one continuous file regardless of how many times you paused and resumed recording.  The Stop and Save button ends the creation of a recording, which is useful if you want to record portions of a meeting as separate files. Click Start New to resume recording where you left off. 6.When the recording process finishes, close the offline recorder window. (If the window is minimized, it closes automatically.) 13
