Tutorial: How to compress H.264 video for use in Flash
  1. Use QuickTime Pro or QTAmateur for this.
  2. Select File>Export then "QuickTime Movie" from the pop-up.
  3. Click Settings, then Settings under "Video"
  4. Select Compression Type > H.264, Frame Rate: Current, Key Frames Automatic, Quality High, Encoding:Best Quality
  5. For Data Rate, if your frame size is around 320x240, restrict to 240 if you have sound, 200 if not. This can be experimented with later if it's not good enough. Click OK.
  6. Click the Size button and set it to 320x240 or whatever matches your aspect ratio. Try to choose a size that doesn't require preserving of aspect ratio.
  7. If you noticed horizontal lines in the high-motion areas of your video, check Deinterlace Source Video, and click OK.
  8. For Sound Settings (if applicable) select AAC codec (QT Amateur makes you select "MPEG4 audio>AAC"). Often you can use Mono at 64 kbits/sec, 22.050 kHz with good results. Best quality. Hit OK.
  9. Check Prepare for Internet Streaming and choose Fast Start. DON'T USE COMPRESSED HEADER. Click OK.
  10. Make sure the file extension is mp4, then click Export.

  • A Bank Run Teaches the 'Plain People' About the Risks of Modernity

    From The Wall Street Journal:

    In Amish country, a bank run is about as familiar as a Hummer or a flat-screen TV. For decades, the more than 200,000 Amish in the U.S. have largely lived apart from the mainstream, emphasizing humility, simplicity and thrift. Known as "the plain people," they travel by horse-drawn buggy, wear homemade clothing and live with very little electricity.

    But the Amish in northern Indiana edged into the conventional economy, lured by the high wages of the recreational-vehicle and modular-homes industries. And they wound up experiencing the same economic whiplash millions of other Americans did.

    There has been some fraying of the ties that bind the Amish, many in the community say.

  • Courts face new challenges in faith healing cases
    Spotted at Yahoo! News:
    Most states have child abuse laws allowing some religious exemptions for parents who shun medicine for their sick children, but a few recent cases highlight thorny legal issues for parents following less-recognized faiths....
    But recent cases in the news have judges and child care advocates dealing with parents who claim adherence to lesser-known faiths, such as the Minnesota family following an Internet-based group's American Indian beliefs, and an independent Oregon church that has been investigated in the past for the deaths of members' sick children.
    Legal and religious scholars say it's becoming more difficult for courts to decide when to honor the religious beliefs of parents and when to order conventional medical treatment for extremely sick children.
  • 'Oldest' image of St Paul discovered

    From the Telegraph:

    Archaeologists have uncovered a 1,600 year old image of St Paul, the oldest one known of, in a Roman catacomb. The fresco, which dates back to the 4th Century AD, was discovered during restoration work at the Catacomb of Saint Thekla but was kept secret for ten days. During that time experts carefully removed centuries of grime from the fresco with a laser, before the news was officially announced through the Vatican's official newspaper L'Osservatore Romano.

    There are more than 40 known Catacombs or underground Christian burial places across Rome and because of their religious significance the Vatican's Pontifical Commission of Sacred Archeology has jurisdiction over them. A photograph of the icon shows the thin face of a bearded man with large eyes, sunken nose and face on a red background surrounded with a yellow circle ? the classic image of St Paul.

  • Faith after shock

    From Yahoo News:

    ?They want everybody to forgive,? Everts said. ?Coach, the man he was, would want everybody to forgive.

    ?But I don?t know if it?s going to be that way. I think there are still a lot of people upset. I don?t know what?s going to happen.?

    Sunday morning, police chief Chris Luhring stood watch outside of First Congressional Church ? where the Thomas and Becker families attended. Usually, there were two services. But now there was one ? at 9 a.m.

    Five rows from the back, there they were, the Beckers.

    The back pew was open until moments before the service started. That is when the Thomas family arrived.

     

  • Spiritual adviser says womanizing 'not in Sanford's DNA'; affair 1-time deal

    From the LA Times:

    When Jenny Sanford confronted her husband in January after finding a letter to "Maria" among his official papers, the governor turned to Culbertson. For nearly six months, Culbertson has been the first couple's spiritual counselor ? and their secret keeper.

    The Sanfords "passed" the Culbertsons' course with flying colors. A week later, Jenny Sanford asked her husband to leave their home.

    In an interview with The Associated Press this weekend at his Columbia office, just blocks from the State House, Culbertson said he believed his friend when he said that this was his only marital transgression. He thinks Sanford was simply caught off guard by "the power of darkness."
