Working with Audio/Video Working with Audio/Video Who on campus works with video/audio? • Network and Classroom Services (NCS) provides a comprehensive variety of services supporting the use of information technology in education. Their main service includes support for Technology Classrooms and other centrally scheduled spaces on both North and South campuses. They also provide support for video/audio related services as listed below. (Alternative contact: Beth Fellendorf 645-5526 Email [email protected]) • Digital Lecture Hall Recording Digitally capture and store recorded content for access via the web. This service mainly provides audio recording capabilities, but video recording can also be arranged in certain circumstances. Check Classroom Attributes for a list of classroom descriptions, including Digital Lecture recording capability. • Classroom Capture Services Record lectures, workshops or other classroom based events and makes them available on the web. NCS can provide these services in multiple remote locations as well as several fixed distance learning classrooms. The files created can be made available for on-demand viewing or can be streamed lived as an event takes place. These video files are often used for student review, as primary or supplemental course content and to preserve special lectures for multiple semesters. If you need to capture content quickly and do not require any post-production editing they may be the right service for you. Recordings can be produced in Real Media, Windows Media or Accordant format. Viewers can review a recording via streaming technology on the web and, if you desire, they can be given the ability to download and save the file. Live streaming is provided in either Real Media or Windows Media format. Services are free if they are directly related to UB courses and fee-based otherwise. • Network and Classroom Services (NCS) provide video streaming as well as webcasting solutions. For distance learning courses, video services are available through multiple remote locations. They offer streamed video delivery for courses and events offered in their facilities, and also in rooms where they bring their portable equipment cart. These instances can be streamed and made available for student review, and can be used to create initial course content. Their facilities are also able to schedule quick video sessions in their facilities. If you need to capture a quick interview and do not require any editing process, this may be the right service for you. This unit also makes arrangements to have audio or web-conferencing for course related and non-course related needs. Services are free if they are directly related to UB courses and fee-based otherwise. Server options for posting audio/video • UB on iTunes U Allows faculty members, students, and university departments to easily post content – including audio and video files, documents, student work samples, etc. to the web. Faculty members, students, and the global community can access UB-generated content using iTunes U at any time, regardless of their location. Content can also be restricted just to enrolled students. Process to post to iTunes U: • Request a course on UB iTunes U using the UBlearns Course Setup • Upload files to the course on iTunes U. See acceptable media formats for iTunes U. • iTunes U files are available by going to http://itunes.buffalo.edu. • You can add an external link from within your UBlearns course to iTunes U. • UB Central Streaming Server For info about the UB streaming server, and how to request an account check out their website: http://stream.buffalo.edu Use this form to request an account on the UB central streaming server. Email: [email protected] The UB Streaming Servers are for official University business, specifically to support UB's research initiative, departmental needs, UB instructional activities, and officially sponsored student clubs, organizations, and events. The streaming media service is capable of streaming files in several different formats: Windows Media format (.wmv/.wma) Real Media format (.rm) Quicktime movie (.mov) MPEG-4 (.mp4) MPEG-3 (.mp3) Flash 4 in SMIL presentation (.smi) To access the server space, you need to use the UB recommended SFTP software (i.e., Filezilla, Fetch) to create a profile for your uploads. In Filezilla, using "Quickconnect" will not work. Select "File", then "Site Manager". Click the "New Site" button to create a new profile. You may need to Modify file permissions for newly uploaded files. UB Helix central streaming server (for RealMedia and QuickTime): SFTP info: Host = wingsadm.acsu.buffalo.edu Path = /stream/data/web/www/shared/yourDirectory (i.e. CAS, LAI) Port: 22 Servertype: SFTP using SSH2 Logontype: Normal User = UBitname Password = UBitpassword URLs for RealMedia: URL to stream RealMedia from the Helix server: rtsp://stream.buffalo.edu/shared/yourDirectory/yourFilename.rm URL to download RealMedia from the Helix Server: http://stream.buffalo.edu/shared/yourDirectory/yourFilename.rm URLs for QuickTime: URL to stream QuickTime from the Helix server: rtsp://stream.buffalo.edu/shared/yourDirectory/yourFilename.mov URL to download QuickTime from the Helix Server: http://stream.buffalo.edu/shared/yourDirectory/yourFilename.mov For streaming Quicktime movies, you need to generate additional files using MakeRefMovie. To Compress and Hint Media for streaming, visit: http://www.soundscreen.com/streaming/compress_hint.html. (More info to come.) UB WindowsMedia central streaming server: SFTP info: Host =mediastream.buffalo.edu Path = /remote/content/yourDirectory Port: 22 Servertype: SFTP using SSH2 Logontype: Normal User = UBitname Password = UBitpassword URLs for WindowsMedia: URL to stream from the WindowsMedia server: mms://mediastream.buffalo.edu/content/yourDirectory/yourFilename.w mv URL to download from the WindowsMedia server: http://mediastream.buffalo.edu/content/yourDirectory/yourFilename.wm v Note: If the faculty will be using the streaming server in relation to UBlearns, they should specify this in the notes field when submitting the form. Note: FlipForMac is not currently supported through iMovie 08 & iMovie 09, which allows saving into WMV files. iMovie is often a recommended solution to edit video for delivery through the UB Stream server. Primary solution for converting to .wmv file: • Find the raw iMovie file (.dv). This can be located at MacPro1 (primary hard drive name)>ulib.capen212 (username)>Movies>iMovie Events and then point to the folder that has the same name you used when capturing your videos through iMovie. Once you have located the .dv file, open it through Quicktime (Note: You will need Quicktime Pro and Flip4Mac). Click on File>Export and in the Export drop down box select Movie to Windows Media. For an alternate solution you need to perform an additional step and save the file from iMovie as one format (MOV or MP4) and then open QuickTime Pro to save the file out as a WMV. • School or Departmental Media Servers Contact your Academic Technology Node to inquire if your School or department has access to their own equipment or media server that you might have access to. • Other Online Media Platforms (i.e. YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, SoundCloud) • Create a free personal account • Upload files to your account • Choose the privacy setting for personal or public Can't I just upload my video/audio files to my UBlearns course? The UBlearns server has limited file space, therefore, it is highly recommended that you DO NOT upload large media files directly to UBlearns. Instead, you should upload media files to a streaming server or online media platform, then link to these files from within UBlearns. Another highly recommended option is to upload media files to the UB iTunes U, and make this a part of your UBlearns course. Storage on iTunes U is unlimited. Streaming server: the process of uploading to a streaming server and then linking to these files within UBlearns involves a little more work on your end, however, this process does not over burden the UBlearns server. A benefit of uploading files to a streaming server is that the media files begin to play much faster than if the files are uploaded to a non-streaming server. Click to view instructions on how to upload files on the streaming server (+ manage file permissions), and Create corresponding links on UBlearns. See info about the UB Streaming server. How can I acquire audio or videos created by others for use in my course? • Contact your UB Libraries' Department Liaison to discuss audio/video resources that are available for you to adopt for use in your class. • A Media Library of over 2000 educational films that were previously available through Instructional Technology Support Services (ITSS) are now part of the University Libraries collection and can be searched via the University Libraries online catalog. The Libraries provide comparable services to the services previously provided by ITSS including the means to reserve and preview videos, purchase new materials, and check out videos. Videos that are from this Faculty Collection will also be bookable by faculty - that is, an instructor will be able to book a video well in advance and for a period of up to 10 days for in-class viewing. All videos in this collection are available for check-out by the entire campus community, unlike the former ITSS policy. (Note: this section needs updating.) • The Associated Press online database provides access to news photographs, audio, and videos. The AP Photo database is subscribed to by the UB Libraries and contains a number of news related photos and audio files. UB does not subscribe to the AP video archive, but licenses for the Film and Video Archive from the Associated Press can be purchased. • Search the Internet including sites like Apple's iTunes U, Google, YouTube, Vimeo, etc. • The UB Libraries' guide on copyright and fair use is a very helpful site about copyright and how it applies to education. In general copyright allows an instructor to capture 10% of an entire video which can be inserted into your own presentations for a class.

  • Codec Is a Portmanteau of Either
    What is a Codec? Codec is a portmanteau of either "Compressor-Decompressor" or "Coder-Decoder," which describes a device or program capable of performing transformations on a data stream or signal. Codecs encode a stream or signal for transmission, storage or encryption and decode it for viewing or editing. Codecs are often used in videoconferencing and streaming media solutions. A video codec converts analog video signals from a video camera into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for display. An audio codec converts analog audio signals from a microphone into digital signals for transmission. It then converts the digital signals back to analog for playing. The raw encoded form of audio and video data is often called essence, to distinguish it from the metadata information that together make up the information content of the stream and any "wrapper" data that is then added to aid access to or improve the robustness of the stream. Most codecs are lossy, in order to get a reasonably small file size. There are lossless codecs as well, but for most purposes the almost imperceptible increase in quality is not worth the considerable increase in data size. The main exception is if the data will undergo more processing in the future, in which case the repeated lossy encoding would damage the eventual quality too much. Many multimedia data streams need to contain both audio and video data, and often some form of metadata that permits synchronization of the audio and video. Each of these three streams may be handled by different programs, processes, or hardware; but for the multimedia data stream to be useful in stored or transmitted form, they must be encapsulated together in a container format.

  • Before You Begin Producing
    Producing with Camtasia Before You Begin Producing Before you begin to produce your video you need to decide how it will be shared; web based, CD, DVD. Once you have decided how you are going to share your video you need to decide which file format would be the best for that particular mode of delivery. The file formats you can save with in Camtasia include: AVI, Macromedia Flash (SWF), Windows Media (WMV), QickTime, Macromedia Flash (FLV), RealMedia (RM), Camtasia for RealPlayer (CAMV), and GIF animation. Click on Show more file formats to view all these options. AVI video file: AVI is recommended for CD delivery requiring the highest video quality. Once you produce your completed AVI files, use Pack and Show to bundle the Camtasia Player and Codec for easy delivery on CD‐ROM. It can also be edited by using Camtasia or other video editing programs. This is the type of format the original video will save as after recording with Camtasia. Macromedia Flash (SWF) movie file: An SWF file format can be used for videos that are 3‐5 minutes. This file format is good for using if you want to put your video on the internet and it is supported by most browsers. You will need the Flash plug‐in to view this video. Windows Media (WMV) streaming media file: A WMV file format creates smaller file sizes and works well for longer videos. It does not have to be downloaded and plays in Microsoft Windows Media Player. It is a streaming video file format. This type of file must be stored on a Windows Media streaming server.
