A challange: creating a movie player in a panel

so.. one of my colleagues has thrown me the gauntlet to create a functional movie player as a indesign panel.
Is it even possible using javascript? i'm thinking that i can use a flashplayer scriptUI object maby?

Sure. I can be done pretty easily using a ScriptUI Flash player or the CS SDK.

A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
I would be very grateful for any assistance.

Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

created a movie in IMOVIE and transferred it to dvd but cannot get it to play on my dvd player. i downloaded the free Burn program since i don't have idvd on my new mac the dvd comes up disk error or cannot read. I am using a dvd-r dvd and my dvd player says that it uses this type of dvd. Any suggestions. I spoke to an Apple Support person who helped me burn the dvd but it still didn't work...help???

There's a difference between a data DVD, and a DVD-Video. I believe you made a data DVD, which can't be played in a video player. The Burn feature of the Finder can't author a DVD-V, just data discs.
I assume you made a Project, and put clips from your Event Library into the Project. But then, how did you output your Project, using the SHARE menu?
When I pull down iMovie '11s SHARE menu, "iDVD..." is one of the options. It's the job of iDVD to make the menu that appears when you insert a DVD into your player (that says the title, and chapters, and extras, etc.). You need software that will made a DVD-V disc. Lacking that, you might be able to go to Share/Export Movie... or Share/Export using QuickTime... to get your video into a format that software like Roxio's Toast could burn.

I have created a movie in 16:9 format. I have created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I preview the movie that pane changes to 4:3 and burns the DVD as a 4:3 movie. How can I stop that, please I am in Snow Leopard, using FCE4.0.1?

I am using Snow Leopard and have created a movie in 16:9 format (SD not HDV) I created a movie which stays in the 16:9 format in fcp file, .mov fiule and MP4 file. I created an iDVD pane in 16:9 but when I play the movie in the iDVD preview window the iDVD pane switches to 4:3 and it burns the DVD in 4:3. How can I stop this so I get a16:9 DVD. Thanks for any help offered

Hi
As I see this I see two parts
• Howto go from FinalCut to iDVD
• Howto set iDVD right
In FinalCut Express (to 4) or Pro (to 6 - most probably 7 too)
• One has to set Anamorphic in the Browser window - menu columns
• Export as QuickTime movie .mov - NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION
In iDVD there are TWO places to set - WideScreen
- Start a NEW iDVD project - AND HERE SELECT WideScreen 16:9
- in Project - select Projectinfo
- now set WideScreen 16:9 - Here too
This use to work for me.
FOR FinalCut Pro-X - I have not a Clue - as I don't use it. SORRY
BTW - There is a good practice to before BURNING the DVD do
• Save as a DiskImage
• Test this by using DVD-Player tool
And if it is OK Size and All - then burn it by using
• Disk Util tool
• here set down burn speed to x4 or less (less burn errors = plays on more devices and better)
• Not using Memorex or NoName etc cheap media - as they usually DO NOT WORK as Video-DVDs
• I use Verbatim DVD-R as they play on more and even older DVD-players

Hi I have created a movie using iMovie 10.0.6. I cannot save the movie as a complete file to be able to burn on to a dvd.

Hi I have created a movie using iMovie 10.0.6 on a macbook pro using Yosemite 10. I want to burn this movie to a dvd to use on any dvd player.
I have "shared" to a file and saved it to a named folder, but it just disappears into thin air. I cannot drag this file into an application because there is no file.
This is very frustrating, Help.

Creating a Media Player

I would like to create a media player for a handheld device i.e. Cell Phone that plays Movie files, to create this application i am going to use the J2ME.
Could anyone point me in the right directions to get started?
Would it be possible to play the movie clip from a server such as Apache or Realnetworks using a .3gp file, from the application i intend to create within an emulator. (I realise there maybe limitations with emulators but this does not matter).
Would i use MIDP to create the Player app?
I'd be gratefull of some usefull areas to get me going and what i can and cant do.

Creating FLASH movies without Macromedia??

What would be the easiest way to create FLASH movie files? Every time I try to do it with Macromedia I end up juggling three apps (after spending an hour or two in the manual) and having to interface with the net before I can see my results.
Is there some app out there that will let me output directly from Final Cut, or that will allow me to just export to a Flash from a Quicktime master?
All ears,
Ben

Aie yie yie,
Thank you guys. I remember I did make an flv file using FCP and Quicktime Conversion - And again with the Flash 8 Video encoder. I think my first dilemma (not being able to just see it immediately) has been solved by using Perian (I'm about to try it out). The second problem is the whole embed thing with the web. I've read through the Macromedia instructions a number of times ... always get lost in their assumptions that I know what their lexicon means. I've put hundreds of Quicktimes up, Windows Media Player, all kinds of formats, no difficulty ... I only put up one Flash file six months ago, with the help of a web designer, and was foolish enough to think I would remember the moves months later. Not.
Thank you for your help,
Ben

Movie Player Control

*Hi Community!*
I've downloaded the sample code of the +MPMoviePlayerController Class Reference+.
( https://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/samplecode/MoviePlayer_iPhone/index.h tml )
When you open the project there is a "My Overlay View" class which includes an button.
This button is shown during the movie plays.
I've disabled the "Standard Movie Player Menu" and want to handle the Video with the button.
_I want to add the following functions:_
-The Video should stop automatically after 10 Sec.
-It should go on with playing, when you press the button once.
-It should stop again after 15 Sec.
-It should go on with playing, when you press the button once.
Because I'm pretty inexperienced I can't create this functions on my own.
Can somebody help me please about this?
Greetings,
Florian

I have not had to write any code yet.
Well that's going to have to change. :-))
For Windows Media, set the autostart attribute value to "false" and "0"

If you can convert your WMV and FLV files to MP4s, you'll have video that can be viewed in all modern browsers plus Smartphones.

I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop. Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD. My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD. Thanks for any help.

I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it. Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD. Is there something out there to help me do this. I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.

How to create a movie file of java 3D animation without altering the code?

Is there a way to create a movie file of a Java 3D animation without altering the source code of the Java 3D animation program???
Because as what I observed, most of the forum recommends extracting the bufferedimages of the animation. And, then using the bufferedimages to do a movie file. In this way, I will need to add in new code in the animation program in order to extract the bufferedimages.
So, is there an alternative way?
My objective is write a program to create movie file of any Java 3D animation.
Pls advise me. Thanks a million.

I'm curious as to why FRAPS will record java3d and
not a java2d app? is there something that Java3d
sets that makes it recognizable by fraps? or?? could
someone or messengers ( =D!) explain this for me?Seems that only in JDK 5.0 or later, does the 2D api automatically use a DirectX or OpenGL rendering pipeline (if available).
Further, these automatic pipelines accelerate polygons and the like, but not low level Graphics2D bit blitting operations.
There are JOGL apis that allow better control over acceleration, and are considered 'thread safe' (single threaded) whereas DirectX pipelines are not.
Interesting demos of this here:
https://jogl-demos.dev.java.net/applettest.html
and
http://www.hardcorepawn.com/RandomGL/
Fraps (commercial) and Taksi (opensource) will reveal that you are actually using acceleration, since they intercept the pipeline at the openGL (and DirectX) level.

I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch

I just created a movie in iMovie 10.0.5 and shared it to iTunes but I cannot copy to my iPod touch. It says the movie was not copied because it cannot be played on this iPod. My iPod was bought in 2009 and has the latest iOS 4.2.1. I also tried sharing in all the different resolutions but none of them worked.
What should I do?

Do I need multicam in order to create a movie from multiple cameras?

Do I need multicam in order to create a movie from multiple cameras? The old fashioned way is just to simply put multiple video clips into multiple video tracks in Final Cut, right? Then I can transition the tracks as I see fit.
Multicam in Final Cut Pro simply improves upon this by hard synching timecodes right?
As an amateur, do I really need multicam features in Final Cut Pro in order to make a movie from multiple camera angles?

Will it make your editing tasks more efficient? Not
likely. Multicam is an advanced feature of FCP. It
requires knowing how most of the application's basic
operations are performed.
I have to disagree with bog in that multicam is all about efficiency and being able to quickly set-up and edit what could normally take a lot longer. But he is totally correct in that it is a strange set-up with some strange behaviors so if you don't know what you're doing and plan accordingly it could take a lot longer and be a lot more frustrating than the 'old fashioned' way.
I think it's also important to note that multi-cam is way more than just the "real time" switching of the multiclip in the viewer as it plays back. If you can take time to learn the ins and outs of multi-cam then you can use some features on some jobs and other features at other times. An amateur can do anything that the FCP software because it's there in front of you so play play play!
