Video player conversion

Is there a way to convert Windows Media Player video files to
FLASH FLA. files on a server-side basis so I don't have to do any
manual conversion?
Thank you so much!

  • Best export from FCP4.5 for conversion to Flash video player?

    Hi,
    I'm prepping a 5 min edit production for the best web presentation w/o excessive file size / loading time. The production has a lot of subtle detail & layered images so there a lot of opportunities for this to turn to mud (shot on low grade digital consumer video camera & also in lower light settings).
    I exported in H264 at med quality & got a good looking 75 meg file. Tried uploading to YouTube, fearing the worst, and it actually created something decent from that file. I could just link that embedded file to the intended website, but I dont want that YouTube logo in the corner. I'd rather recreate what they do in Flash w/o the logo.
    Does anyone have info on what YouTube does to the videos it processes into those flash video player files? Compression or resolution settings? It looks like going that route will give better results that can be universally viewed than the standard mpeg route. (file size & universal viewing on all platforms are my only reason not to post in H264).
    Are these issues best solved going from a big FCP export and handled with settings in Flash? Or is there some export choice in FCP that will give best (size & res) quailty with minimal influence needed from Flash?
    I've tried Compressor but havent been able to get any results from it. I just get errors that I dont understand. If thats the solution, I'll dig into that further, but would appreciate any tips / guidance.
    thanks

  • Video Player settings on 8800

    Is there some way of hiding the progress bar on the 8800 video player to allow more screen space for video?
    Is there a certain screen size I can set my video conversion software to allow for this?
    Thanks 

    Check this link: Blackberry OS FAQ
    There are instructions how to upgrade your Blackberry OS, and there are links to download necessary software.
    If your wireless provider does not provide upgrade for your device model you can use OS update package for your model but from another wireless provider.
    Wireless providers disfavour that - but it is technically possible.
    To install OS upgrade package for your device model but from another wireless provider do the following.
    Install OS package on your desktop computer.
    Delete Vendor.xml from installed OS files on your computer
    Connect your blackberry to the computer

  • An image changing to FLV Video Player in AJAX Update Panel

    Hi,
    I'm trying to design part of a website can seen as video gallery. I have videos related to subcategories; and subcategories that related to categories.
    I was using popups but now want to change it. Simply, firstly there are images and descriptions(in an update panel) of videos on page. After clicking thumbnail, the region includes thumbnail and description wil be changed to FLV video player.
    Outside of updatepanel player is working good. but when i move it into updatepanel; doesn't working in IE. Because JS code (AC_FL_RunContent(.....)) is not working in updatepanel. Tried another script (like alert('hello!');), it's working. I think i have problem with the function named AC_FL_RunContent(...). It's working as i want, if open page with Firefox.
    Looked for this in google. Visited many pages, but never find a solution for this nor source of problem. I hope someone can help me

  • I get a security sandbox error #2122 when i try to use ImageSnapshot on video player

    hey guys... so all my application does is... it has a video player... and when i initiate the component it loads the flv from a different server, and plays the video... now while its playing the video i have a button called capture, and whe you hit that button the user is able to take snapshots of the current frame.
    this seems to work perfectly locally, but as soon as i uploaded it to the server i get problems...
    the error states:
    SecurityError: Error #2122: Security sandbox violation: BitmapData.draw: http://website1.com/Content/swf/oneStopImageVersion.swf cannot access http://website2.com/videos/originals/Grand_Opening.flv. A policy file is required, but the checkPolicyFile flag was not set when this media was loaded.

         initialThumbnail.source = new Bitmap(snapshot); //this is the image tag in my mxml
    any help is greatly appretiated!!!!
    thanks in advance!

    any one with ideas???
    i've been doing some more research... and found a possible solution... where i could send the video thru a server proxy... but the only thing is doing that might slow down my process... i was wondering if there was any other solution to this problem??

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How can i make RealPlayer the default video player?

    I use safari 3.0.4
    When it accesses sites containing video, it plays it in Flash (eg YouTube)
    How do I get safari to use realplayer instead? (Even my Firefox 2.0 uses flash) (I have RP 10)
    I am teaching a course in media literacy and show some of the uploaded old tv commercials to my students. i want to show next year's class some of the same commercials, so i want to save the ones I find this year while they're available.
    At school, I work on a pc, and it plays video back in RealPlayer which gives me a 'download' option, so i can save these commercials.
    But when i find good clips at home, on my mac, all I can do is note the urls, then do it all again at school to get to them to download. it would be much easier if i could download them as I find them, then take them to school on my portable drive.
    any solution?
    Thank you
    Elizabeth

    At school, I work on a pc, and it plays video back in RealPlayer which gives me a 'download' option, so i can save these commercials
    RealPlayer v. 11.0.0 (may still be in beta) now includes that Downloader - a very useful item!
    It is a free download but they will ask for money in July. Must be why they call it RealPlayer Plus!
    You can get it here:
    http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
    I have had it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems.
    As for making RealPlayer the default video player, IMO that is not a good idea. There is a lot of stuff out there that RealPlayer would not be able to handle.
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
    The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on Tiger. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
    http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
    If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
    Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
    and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

  • How can I remove a video player?

    Hi, awhile back I installed a video player, that I can't even remember the name of now, and it plays all my video's being watched over the web with this player now, it does give me the option to use original player, but you have to be lightning quick to click it and even then sometimes it won't. Its driving me nuts! I hate it! Can anyone tell me please how to maybe find this program and delete it. And what is the default video player on the Mac supposed to be?
    Thanks so much.

    From the Safari menu bar, select

  • The video player is in the connection error state.

    Flash cS 5.5 / Win 7. Inserting video into movieclip both with 'import video' wizard and via component. FLV that plays fine on a number of different servers. On opening (after gathering metadata) the message 'The video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found.' Firstly I am treating this as a progressive download, not streaming. Second this plays fine locally, it's only when I upload to a server it fails. The FLV is in a folder directly below the SWF. Result is same with FLV in same location as SWF. MIME type set to vide/x-flv although I've also set it to applicaiton/octet-stream.
    This is a very basic requirement to call the video directly from Flash, the default parameters of the component are adequate and work locally. However the video does not play. Is it fair to assume this functionality simply does not work correctly within Flash CS5.5? I'm unclear as to what >less< I could be doing with this file.

    You can place the Flash and any Flash assets in any folder location that you want.... provided that you understand how Flash assets (like .flv files) are "Pathed" or located by the .swf that is calling them. The underlying principle is that the Flash assets need to be pathed relative to the Web page that the .swf is located on, NOT the actual, physical location of the .swf.
    For review:
    Pathing issues
    Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
    You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
    Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location.  So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
    In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
    So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.
    Best wishes,
    Eye for Video
    www.cidigitalmedia.com
    So you can place the .flv wherever you want, but you can't just go and move the .flv without also correcting the path to the .flv inside the .swf.
    So be sure that you have the .flv in the correct subfolder before you do any insert of the Flash player.
    Also I'm not a great fan of requiring my viewers use the latest and greatest (and most bug filled version) of any pluggin or software for that matter.
    <param name="swfversion" value="11.0.0.0" />
    I refer NOT to upgrade to ver 11 so will not be seeing your Flash anytime soon. If you want to appeal to a large audience, change that to version 10.
    Best wishes,

  • How do I stop iTunes from being my default video player

    I have a slightly older Macbook Pro, on OSX 10.5.8.   I have a bunch of video files on a wireless networked hard drive and the directory mapped to my desktop for easy access.  I also have VLC installed for video playback.  All the files are *.m4v.
    Here is the problem.  When I click to open one of these files it starts copying the whole file over the network to my iTunes, and insisting on opening from iTunes.  If I click on File -> Open With -> it shows iTunes as the default.  I can click on File -> Open With -> VLC and this works just fine.
    But how do I change the default video player?  All I want to do is stream it over my internal home network, I don't want copy the darn file every time I want to play something.
    Thanks

    Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
    -= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
    1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
    2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
    3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
    4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more.  Close the get info window.
    5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
    6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
    7) Close the get info window.

  • Unsolicited by me, a new tab will open saying I need a new video player or PC cleaner. Why? And how do I stop that?

    Sometimes, when Firefox has been open on my laptop for a few minutes but I've not been active on it, a new tab will automatically open up with a message saying, for example, that I should download a new video player or some PC cleaner software. I know it must be some kind of spam or malware, and I normally just close the tab, but I'm curious as to why this happens and how I can stop it from happening again.

    That says a plugin needs updating. Open '''''Firefox > Add-ons > Plugins'''''.
    Above the first plugin is a link that will check your plugins. Please use it.

  • Apple Video Player stops working

    I have a Performa 6500/225 running OS 9.1. I also have a (vintage) Apple Video Conference webcam. Along with that I have an original Apple external hard drive. I have the Apple Video Player software on the internal hard drive. For some reason it seems to conflict with a CAD program I have on the external hard drive.
    I have tried the clean install as was recommended previously. The AVP will work until I retweak everything. If AVP is working properly then my CAD program doesn't.This is strange because the AVP parts are not on the external drive and the CAD parts are not on the internal drive. Doing a clean install doesn't seem to be the answer. Does anyone know of a way to work around this or perhaps another older driver I might be able to use with my Apple Video Conference cam?
    Performa 6500/225   Mac OS 9.1.x  

    I missed the earlier discussion but this may be an extension conflict. Apple Video Player comes, I believe, with an extension that is present in your System folder. That extension will always load to some extent when you start your computer, even if you aren't actually running the application. So AVP is always running to a small degree even if the full application isn't. The CAD program may have its own extensions that may also be conflicting with AVP.
    If it is an extension conflict then you may have to deal with it by using extensions manager to build two different sets of extensions for when you want to use the different programs and restart in between(yeah, a pain). Alternatively you can sometimes get around these conflicts by renaming you culprit extensions so they load in a different order (for example, by putting putting a "z" in front of one name, though that's usually to address conflicts that causes freezes at startup.
    Normally it doesn't matter where you keep applications in terms of drives - that doesn't cause conflicts or resolve them. It's when they are running, or they have extensions that start when you boot your computer that causes the problem.
    One other thing you could try would be to upgrade your computer OS to 9.2.2. Maybe things would run more cleanly under the newer OS. The upgrades from 9.1 would be free so there's no harm in trying.

  • Why can't Firefox cannot load certain applications on certain sites like a whole chatroom, video player or the reply box on a forum?

    When I was ask to join this site ( the mozilla support site), firefox was unable to display the register or log in page, all i saw was the page getting darker and an unmoving white rectangle.
    Also when I got certain site to watch a video like animefreak.com the video player will never appear, I have to use internet explorer to watch it.
    There are some sites where the chatroom simply doesn't appear and others where I can't even use the reply box in the forum

    Recently both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.
