Wrapping .mov files into swf

Hey everybody-
Does anyone know how to wrap a .mov file into a swf?
I appreciate your time.

The video file itself will be deployed to a server, so when I go through the 'import video' process, I have to reference it by source (http://example/example.mov).
When I just test it locally, with the video located on my local machine, it works. But when I try to refer it, it doesn't work.
Sorry if I'm making this confusing.

Query regarding conversion of Quick Time movie files to .swf format

Hello Everyone,
Is it possible to convert QT movie files to .swf format using
any tool ?
Will it significantly reduce the file size ?
Suppose we have a QT movie file of size 3MB , when it is
converted to .swf
format what will be its size ?
Then can we play this .swf file using QT player or we require
flash player
to do so .
Kindly answer these queries.
Thanking you,
With Best regards,
Anil.

Hi Anil.
Yes, you can. You can import QT movies into Flash and embed
the movie and then
export an swf version of it. You can also convert teh video
to a FLV (Flash
video) and have a swf that provides the controls and player
for it.
> Will it significantly reduce the file size ?
File size probably will go down but that depnds on what
compression the orginal
QT has and what compression you use when importing to Flash.
I'd say start with
a high quality QT, then try various compression levels when
importing to get
the best size to quality balance.

Is hard to say - as mentione dabove, depends on what the QT's
compression is.

> to do so .
You'll have to play the swf through Flash. Why would you wnat
to play it
through QT?
What's the output for - CD/web? I'd suggest FLVs ratehr than
an embedded vidoe
into a swf as you can get better quality control and
playback.

Dynamically importing a .mov file into flash

Hi,
I need to import a .mov file into a flash file and create a
.swf movie. I can do it through File > Import Movies option. But
I want to make it dynamic and import the movie. I would like to use
ActionScripts rather than the File> Import options. Pls let me
know if this is possible. Let me know if you have any questions.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks & Regards,
Magesh

You can only dynamically load at runtime FLV movies.
You can automate the authoring time environment but this is
only with the Authoring tool. See

How can I convert a mov file to swf?

how can I convert a mov file to swf?

You don't. You convert your mov file to a mp4 h264 encoded file, and import that into Flash. Then export to swf (in a folder), and you use that swf in your page (do not forget to upload all the other assets as well).
Alternatively, convert to html 5 video files which are also supported by mobile devices.
Learn more here: http://diveintohtml5.info/video.html
ps you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert your mov files to h264. Or to html5 video:

Can't import mov files into Final Cut Pro

I can't seem to import some .mov files into FCP. The codecs showing in "info" for the files are DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode. I have other files which I can import into FCP and they show the exact same codecs in their info page. I have no trouble opening either in Quicktime.

What is the origin of these files? You may want to use QT or Compressor to re-encode them to the same codec. Possbily they are very old QT versions. But yes, where did they originate from?

Cannot import a .mov file into the library

I am trying to import a .mov file into my library so I can
create a .fla file. Every time I try to import it into the library
using the import wizard, it starts the importing process and always
quits not quite two minutes into the process. It then returns me to
the front page of the import wizard. I have done this before with
absolutely no problems.
The one thing that I am wondering about is the size of this
particular .mov file. It is 377MB. Do you think this may be part of
my problem? Thank you in advance for anyone's input or
suggestions!

I would consider 10mb to be too big for a flash file. Even if
it was CD
I would load it dynamically to avoid performance problem.
377mb is out of the question way beyond flash ability to
maintain stable
performance, not just the final output but the IDE itself.

Can`t movies files into iTunes

Hi,
I am trying to move movies files into the iTunes library by dragging them and without success.
I have tried to add the files with the file menu with the same results.
Using iTunes 10.5
Can anyone help me with this?
thanks,
Amnon

Itunes only accepts MP4, M4V and MOV formats. You will have to get a third party Video converter to convert AVI to Apple format.

I can't drag .mov files into an iMessage as I could earlier

Used to, I could drag a movie file into iMessage and send it to my friends quite easily. It was the most convenient way to send content and raw footage to schoolmates for projects and what not, but now when I do this it doesn't add any footage, but instead a blank line? I really need to be able to send videos this way as my class almost requires us to share content.

I've seen where you've helped a lot of people and hopefully you can help me as I'm stumped. I have a Canon Vixia HFS200 and having trouble getting some movie clips to import from SD card. In the past, if a 'still' pic is taken on the same card, iMovie won't recognize anything as being importable. If I deleted the photos, I was able to import without a problem but this time, there are no stills on the card but still doesn't recognize anything importable, even though there are 140 or so .MTS files.
I've tried a conversion software that I was able to view them but had the company logo over the top. I wasn't sure if there was a way to manually or 'force' them to import? Appreciate any suggestions.

Trouble exporting any mov files into H264 after adding K-Lite codec pack into Windows XP SP3.

I have QuickTime 7.7 (1680.34) installed. I have used it extensively and exported the video separate from the audio and extracted and used filters and it has all worked great with all of the other codecs I have had installed. It even worked great after I recently installed this K-Lite codec pack that actually saved files in a *.hdmov file type and I was able to view them with the Media Player Classic .... (I have Windows XP update 3) and see what I could do over there and then go back to saving them as *.mov file types and work in QuickTime Pro. And still export them relatively fast to their latest H264 format.
I gave more file types to the Media Player Classic. I think along the line of the just the *.3g2 and *.mp4 and took them away from QuickTime but still keeping the *.mov, *.qt and *.mqv file types .... and that is when I think everything must have changed. all of a sudden I can not save any *.hdmov files and the export process in QuickTime takes longer than forever.
I thought that I had reconfigured Media Player Classic back to its default ....
and it should all go back to being how it was.
Is there some Direct Show filter or codec that upsets QuickTime Pro ... that I might have not reset back to what it was?
Any codec help would be much appreciated.
This is what the K-Lite site says in one instance about H264:
If the video that you are playing contains H.264 video, then you could try using another decoder. The codec pack by default uses ffdshow for decoding H.264 video. This is a free and open-source decoder. Other decoders exist that have better performance as ffdshow. They should give you smoother playback, specially if you have a dual-core or quad-core processor.
Alternative H.264 decoders are:
CoreAVC. This decoder is unfortunately not available for free.
DivX H.264 decoder. This decoder is available for free as part of the DivX Bundle. Tip: disable everything in the bundle except the H.264 decoder.
ffmpeg-mt. This is an experimental multi-threaded version of the libavcodec decoding library, which is used by ffdshow. You can select ffmpeg-mt as decoder in ffdshow video decoder configuration.
MPC DXVA H.264 decoder. This is an internal decoder of Media Player Classic Homecinema. It uses your graphics card to perform most of the decoding process, resulting is a very low CPU usage. You can enable this decoder though: MPC Options -> Internal Filters. Note: this decoder has some specific requirements.
I downloaded the DivX bundle and will pull out that codec. I bought the CoreAVC for $13 but Norton said it was a risky file when I downloaded it ... (I have a question into the site about that) and I will try the ffmpeg-mt codec as well as see what they say about the last one. I will also try to undo everything I did that happened I guess before QuickTime started to export so slow that it is not even worth it to try and convert a mov file into H264.
Sorry so long ... I just was trying to lay out the things I have attempted, will attempt to try and improve the situation.
Thanks again very much if anyone makes it thru this ... geez .. sorry.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

Drag and drop simple ".mov" files, into 2 dif. browsers, no longer working

Did something, that caused my main drag and drop, of simple ".mov" files, into 2 different browsers - "Safari", Version 3.0.4, and "Camino", Version 1.6.8, .. to stop working.
To be clear, this is regarding, just some simply ".mov" files which I have generated. (Individual hourly, weather images - like; in sequence. Generated, in / with, QuickTime - itself.)
At this point, where dropped from a folder, into "Camino", .. it routes these back to my main desktop. - (Before the problem, .. played them, in browser.)
"Safari", only brings up the folder that the main file is in — within a separate folder window.
(As with "Camino", played these in browser, previously.)

Break .mov file into multiple jpeg files

Hello all,
I've already put together a program that jams multiple jpegs into a .mov file, but is it possible to do the same thing in reverse?
I have a .mov file captured from a camera. I need to decompose it into a ton of jpegs.
the purpose is that I have a real-world video file of an event occuring. I have a computer simulation of the same event. I want to overlay the two into a single video.
My basic plan was to decompose the real-world .mov file into jpegs, then take each individual jpeg and draw my simulation stuff on top of it. Then I would combine it all back together into a movie again.
Another possibility...somehow use processors? I'm not sure how to do all that and I think this solution is simpler if I can somehow figure out how to split the file.
Thanks for you input.

captfoss...how did you ever become so knowledgeable? Is it your job to answer these forums?
I'm just very impressed, is all.About a year ago, I thought up the idea of creating a web site where musicians / music fans could go, create a chatroom, and pay music for people live over the net. Through the course of research, I found out that the only 2 ways of doing an application like that were JMF or Adobe Flex/Flash... Seeing as how I'm a Java coder by profession (and hate Flash applications), the choice of which to go with was easy...
And then I realized that JMF is, on the surface, quite complicated and while these Sun forums are full of experts on just about everything else, there weren't really any JMF experts. So I sat down, went through the JMF example code peice by peice, wrote out the components, figured out what each one did, and I wrote my application from scratch. I wanted to make sure I understood my app, of course, and wasn't just throwing out something "that worked" because, well, all those years of college told me that's a bad plan.
Anyway, I figured out the nuts and bolts of my project, and then just started trying to answer the questions on this forum that were going unanswered...and that's how I become so knowledgable, because with something like JMF, whenever you work with someone, a lot of times you learn nearly as much as they do.
Plus, I most just like helping people and JMF had a giant opening for a resident expert...

Wrap a file into one class

I want to wrap a file into one classe, how can I do that?
For example:

The following is not a buffer but I hope it could be of some use.
import java.io.*;
public class FileWrapper {
    java.io.File file;
    FileWrapper(java.io.File f) throws java.io.IOException{

    FileWrapper(java.lang.String fname) throws java.io.IOException{
      this(new java.io.File(fname));
    // .. next is an example of a method ... You can define other useful methods
    public String readLines() throws java.io.IOException{//read all lines as a String object
       java.io.BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(this.file),"UTF8"));
       StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
       String temp=null,newLine=System.getProperty("line.separator");
       while((temp=reader.readLine())!=null){

       return String.valueOf(buffer);

FCP Splits QT movie file into several files... problem and solution.

Hi All,
I was having problems exporting a QT movie (Video Only) of a 20 min Reel within a Feature Film I edited. The Database was quite large - the film was 2Hrs and Footage was about 12X.
FCP would split the QT movie file into several files - only one of which was openable (either in FCP or the QT player). To my surprise, I also found that even though the file opened fine, I would get an error message when trying to copy it or its associated files over to another HD (Tiger would abort, after giving me an error No. and saying that there was an error while copying). The problem was repeatable and specific to this sequence.
After some testing, I found that copying the clips (Video Only) to another sequence and re-exporting, seemed to solve the problem. My take on this is that too many ( > 12? ) Audio tracks causes problems in FCP when the database is large.
But I do need these additional tracks. Any work arounds?
Thanks,
RD

First, look in System Settings, and see if you've checked the box to limit file size to 2GB. Uncheck that box. See if that helps.
Or it could just be a corrupt project causing the problem.

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not

Mac won't let me move files into a folder bc it THINKS there are duplicate files - but they're not. There are hundreds of what it thinks are duplicates. How can I get it to let me put them all into a folder and create unique names? If I do one file at a time, it gives me the option to keep both files. But not when I am moving hundreds at a time.

A reply to an old problem, but I couldn't find this solution anywhere. I had the same problem when I moved my iTunes library to an external drive. As Apple recommends, I used File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files to copy my music files from my overstuffed hard drive to the external drive. Copying went fine for a while, adding about two-thirds of my files to the new drive without incident. Then I got the big stop sign with the error message: "Copying files failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
This turned out to have nothing to do with either the hard drive or the external disk. I had a bad file in my music library that was shutting down the consolidation process. Unfortunately the error message says nothing about which file may be the culprit. All I could think to do was to go back to my original library in iTunes and sort by Artist, select all cuts with artists beginning with A, right click and select "Consolidate Files". Then do the same with B artists, etc. Proceeding this way, files resumed copying but when I got to the "S" selections, the consolidate process failed again. Then I selected smaller and smaller batches until the problem file was identified. Removed it from my library and then Consolidate worked fine through the rest of the library. Problem solved.
I spent several days working through this; hope I can save someone else the time.
