woah is it a passthrough or something bc everything i've seen has been gay 'reencode the poo poo out of everything or at the very least just the audio for no reason'

you can use subler for this but if the audio isnt aac it'll reencode it because ios doesnt support anything other than aac in mp4

also lol re: DIVX

quote:

There was a movement on the Internet, particularly in home theater forums, against DIVX. The DIVX catalog of titles were released primarily in pan and scan format with limited special features, usually only a trailer.

egh gently caress it lets just give them a trailer for the film they're about to watch

has anyone figured out how to get after effects/premiere cs6 to use x264 on os x yet

i tried using that x264Encoder quicktime plugin but it doesn't work and adobe's h264 encoder is slow as balls and bad quality

i've just been using lossless and then ffmpeg to encode to h264 with x264 but encoding to lossless (and getting a 50+GB file) for just a temporary file is loving bullshit

it depends on the resolution, a 22 minute 1080p clip encoded as h264 targeting 1gb is going to look like garbage

720p at crf 21 or so would probably not look too bad and depending on the content and what preset you use it'll probably be under 1gb

just play around with the settings i guess, the only way you're going to get an exact file size is with a specified bitrate

i've seen old divx rips that had more tolerable macroblocking, even my nearsighted rear end can see the blocks from across the living room on fast moving shots

directv uses h264 and its not much better

Aparently Quicktime X just decides not to play legal stereo AAC streams in some .mp4 files.

hey pagancow, is h265 legit cause it seems like it would be a big fuckin deal what w/ people trying to get 4k established and getting more 1080p content going over the internet.

even with the crappy reference encoders out now it's much more efficient and signifigantly better looking than h264 at lower bitrates

yeah but progress is for drat dirty homos and socialists

also is anything actually broadcast at 60fps? i mean i know live sports are shot at 60 and usually look real good but i wonder if broadcasters try to save by downconverting to 30

if its 1920x1280 theres a good chance that its 30 fps

there's already some comparisons of vp9/h264/h265 and while its better than vp8 its not as good as x264

although tbf most if not all h264 encoders aren't either

well yeah like i said, call it mov 2.0 if you will (don't call it that)

apple basically just made mov suck a little less and gave it a new name. for the most part unless its got some weird codec or something that one of them doesn't support you cam rename a .mp4 to .mov or vice versa and it'll work

Note: QuickTime or any QT based application will not be able to play a MP4 file with AAC/Subtitles, unless it has the extension ".m4v"

I don't think it was ever "officially" added since Apple was the only one using it to deliver 5.1 audio in itunes rentals (because lol they don't support 5.1 AAC in any of their hardware), but I can't find any written evidence that it's not.

thats not true

like 80% of my mp4 files have 5.1 aac audio and subtitle tracks, they just have to be added as sbtl and i don't think you have to do anything special for the audio
