A script to force acrobat to play avi content with built in flash player instead of quicktime

Hello, is there a script that would force acrobat to play embedded avi content with the built in flash player instead of the quicktime player? first reason is that the built in quicktime player doesn't play the avi files anyway (for me at least); and second is that there are hundreds of sound clips in the pdf, and it is likely that i will have to revise the document and export again, so I can't manually change the properties of each sound clip to open with flash player. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Script to force embedded avi to open with acrobat's built-in flash player instead of quicktime

Hi, when I export to pdf with an avi file embedded, acrobat automatically tries to play it with the built-in quicktime player, which it fails to do; it just ends up freezing. Is there a script for indesign that would tell the avi file to open with the built in flash player (in acrobat) instead? or would that be an acrobat script? When I open the pdf, I notice that it reconizes the embedded avi as "quicktime content." I am guessing that indesign made it "quicktime content" when it imported the avi? any suggestions would be appreciated.

But as soon as I install QuickTime--even though the default for .m4a is
still set to WMP--in IE8 the .m4a file is now opening up with the QuickTime
browser plugin! Windows Explorer is still fine and it opens up the file
with WMP, but only IE is using the wrong default program.
Okay ... if it's MPEG 4 audio files causing the issue, try the following procedure.
Launch QuickTime. Go "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences". Click the "Browser" Tab. Click the "MIME Types" button.
Expand *MPEG - MPEG system, video, and audio files* and uncheck "MPEG audio". OK out of the tabs, and quit QuickTime.
Does IE 8 launch the .m4a files in WMP now?

Embedded avi content – default playback on built-in flash player instead of quicktime?

Hello, I am creating a pdf book with hundreds of audio clips embedded. Because Indesign can't import mp3, I actually had to convert all my mp3 files to avi files without video, then import those into the indesign document for export to pdf. I used avi because it uses an mp3 codec (??) and keeps each sound file at 300k compared to 4mb for the same file as an swf or wav. Size is important because the book has 800 clips in total. So that was my first question. Would anyone have done something different? Well now I have a second issue. When Indesign exports to pdf, the avi files (embedded) are set to automatically open with the built-in quicktime player. And I noticed that the embedded avi files are identified as "quicktime content." This would be ok with me if the quicktime player played the files, but it doesn't; it just freezes when I click on the file. Now, of course, I can manually change each avi file in the pdf to open with the built-in flash player, and that works fine, and that's the player I'd like the files to open with, but this is impossible as a solution because if I have to edit this document in a month or so, I would then have to manually change the properties (rendition) of all the avi files again in the new pdf. As it is now, when I open the pdf and select the avi object then click properties, then edit rendition, I see that quicktime has been chosen as the default. Is there a way to export from indesign to pdf so that the preferred player of avi files is not set automatically to quicktime, and instead to flash player? I hope I've described the issues clearly. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi Chris,
Hardware acceleration on or off makes absolutely no difference, i recently tried watching videos in a 100% fresh install and new profile in firefox (no addons) and the problem still occurs albiet a little slower in the new install, ie it takes a little longer to drop out of synch.
There is a noticeable difference in framerate just before the problem occurs, like a very tiny hiccup, from that point on the audio gets left further and further behind, it's remedied by clicking back a few seconds on the video play bar but this is only temporary, lately i've even noticed it happening with live streams from the BBC, once again i must stress, this doesn't happen in Chrome or Opera or IE.

Can't Play AVI movie with QT 7.1

I am unable to run this particular avi movie, Rendezvous, which I downloaded to my G5. All I get is a white background and a very intermittent/jerky sound. Also the total time of the movie gets doubled with QT Player which may account for the screwy sound.
When first launched the following notification comes up:
Some necessary QuickTime software is missing. It may be available on the QuickTime Web Site. .......
The referenced site has a lot of codecs but I have no idea which one I need.
It plays just fine with VLC.
What do I need to add to QT 7.1 in order to play that particular movie? I have QT Pro 7.1 and the mpeg2 update.
G5 Dual-core 2GHz, 2G RAM, 250G HD, 22" Display, Mac OS X [10.4.6], 200/160GB FW, QT 7.0.4 Pro, Canon S400, i850 & LIDE 50, Epson R200, iVMP 3.0.2

Oddly enough, prior to downloading the video in question, I had just done a clean install of my OS, so no components were in the Quicktime Folder of my Library.
I downloaded DivX 6 from here:
http://www.divxmovies.com/codec/
Now, the only components in my Quicktime Folder (HD > Library > Quicktime) are the DivX6 Encoder and Decoder components.
I just relaunched Quicktime after the components were installed and the video plays fine in Quicktime. Using the converter is not necessary.
Here is a link showing the viddy on my computer:

How to play AVI movies with Qtime?

I have some .avi movies and was prompted(by QTime) to go to 3rd party download site to find an "add on" for adapting it to work. Non avi players / codecs / anything on the website. Please suggest alternatives. thx.

AVI files play perfectly using QuickTime Player on all three of my Macs. Either you didn't install Perian correctly, or you have some faulty QuickTime software, or you have one particular AVI file that is corrupt. Try another AVI file. What is the message you get from QuickTime when you use QT to open the file?
Also, my VLC (you have written VLI, but surely you have VLC???) plays AVI files perfectly... well, as perfectly as VLC can.

Unable to play AVI files with Quicktime

I installed Perian and the xvid codec but still cannot play all AVI videos in QT. Not really a problem since I have VLC. However it would be nice to be able to play AVI files in QT as well

AVI container can accept a real mess of codecs, not all of which are provided in Perian. Use a utility such as
Media Info - http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net - to get details of codecs used in multimedia
to see which video codec is used and compare it with the list on Perian's web site.

Cannot play AVI file with Quicktime 7.3.1

See QuickTimeKirk's response in this thread. You can also try VLC Media Player.
Whichever one you try, just make sure you repair permissions & restart afterwards.

How to play my weather wmv videos in Flash Player

Hi, I've been creating daily videos made up of hundreds of
weather cam images for the past 6 months - I use moviesalsa to
combine them into an AVI (about 1.6gb), then Windows Media Encoder
to convert these into a wmv (about 6mb). So I have about 200 wmv
videos online now.
I've been toying with the idea of playing these within a
browsers Flash Player (like videos on
http://news.bbc.co.uk) rather
than Windows Media Player.
Can someone please provide me with some pointers on how to
get started?

Flash does not have any extension or plugins, never had.

I can't play my games on Facebook.Adobe Flash player plugin Crashed keeps coming up.I have updated adobe,did not help.

I cant play my games (FarmVille FrontierVille) On Facebook,Adobe Flash player plugin crashed keeps coming up.I have updated to the newest file.No good.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://Facebook.com

I am having this same problem. Before the updates, the Adobe Flash player NEVER crashed in Firefox (it did in Google Chrome all the time) and now it's crashing in all my favorite games....Farmville, Frontierville, Yoville, and Treasure Isle. It doesn't seem to be effecting the less-detailed Zynga games, such as Mafia Wars or Vampire Wars; and I can go into more detailed games that aren't Zynga and they seem to work fine too. I am not 100% sure what exactly the problem is, or who is causing it because I had a Firefox update, and then an Adobe update to the 10.1 beta. So I'm not sure if it's one or the other, or both of them put together.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled the flash player so many times my mind is numb, and even tried to find the one I had prior to this new 10.1 and nothing has worked. I even did what that link Chris posted to do, and I thought it had worked at first...I actually got to go into my Farmville and Treasure Isle for a little bit, then it turned around and crashed again.
This is literally driving me crazy trying to figure it all out.....and it upsets me that everything was fine one day, then after some updates, everything is messed up. And it's just my luck that it effected some of the games I like to play the most.

Acrobat reader 10.0.x for windows and flash player update

i don't understand why my client require the update of reader (update of 10.0.1), but in the download page (.msp file) i can't find nothing. the other problem was about the update of flash player....i need to distribute the update over GPO, but adobe doesn't release from download page....is because the update are integrated in acrobat reader new release?
the metod is wrong! security is very important and release the updated version of software is also foundamental! IT Pro need an update (.msp or .msi) for the reader and for player.....faster not when you want
so....how you think to resolve this problem? how i can resolve my problem about the update?

Here you'll find the msi and msp files for the Acrobat Reader ("reader" folder on ftp) and Acrobat Pro ("acrobat" folder on ftp). ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/ . Save the link to your bookmarks.
For updating/installing Flash Player you'll have to go over here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
There's a distribution license needed to deploy the flash player (don't ask my why the hell you'll have to get a license to deploy it in internal environments, although you can download and install it without the license).
Best of luck, i needed a hole day to preparing deployment of cs5.5 and flash player etc. because of lack of information or consistency at the adobe pages and different methods for diffrent products. There should be a way to charge adobe the time it needs to get started, because they earn a damn lot of money with their cs products so they should provide better methods to do these tasks... but thats an endless story, because they're a monopolistic global player i think they aren't really interested in the needs of customers. There's not a real alternative, especially in education you're bound to use it, so you're gonna buy it anyway...

Issue with Youtube and Flash Player, videos don't play after a while

When I go to Youtube I can watch videos, but after I've player 5 or 6, when I select the next one, I get a snowy screen with a message "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback. Get the latest Flash Player". Issues is I already have the latest Flash Player, and it was playing fine just a minute ago. But from then on I cannot play more videos until I restart the computer. I'm tired of reinstalling Flash every day.
Win 7 64 bits, IE 9 and Firefox (happens with both)
Flash Player 11.7.700.202
Apparently the browser at first recognizes that Flash is installed, but then it doesn't find it anymore. Not sure how that happens.

strangest thing... a few 'non-youtube' sites still work ok, but still complain 'no javascript' ..
so went to firefox (v17.0.4 ESR) 'tools, options, content' and yup, javascript UNTICKED!! :O :O my bad memory? something else??? {shrugs}
ticked it, now ok........ think im getting old?????? ROFL..

Videos from the net won't play; plug in's enabled, latest Flash player installed; everything works fine on Safaril; even replaced Firefox by Aurorar, the same.

Earlier everything worked fine, I'm not aware of any change, e.g. in preferences. Now, if I try starting a video from the net (e.g. Youtube) I get either message: update Flash player, or enable plug in; both are in order, and work fine on Safari. I cleared cache and cookies, tried even to uninstall Firefox and download Aurora in vain. I use Windows 7 Ultimate and AVG Internet Security, the very same as earlier when Firefox played these videos perfectly.

Hi, is it the website itself or just that particular game? Does either one work when using Internet Explorer?
Using FF(Firefox) go to the plug-ins and look for the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
Do you use Ad-Block in FF?, if so try Disabling it and then check if this makes a difference.
Thanks,

Flash is not available for iOS. Use the Facebook app or you might try on of the alternate browsers such as iSwifter or Puffin.
