Adding a video to a page

One of our team has created a PDF from MS PowerPoint. In Acrobat Pro 9 they subsequently added a page to the PDF and added an MP4 file to it via the Multimedia > Video Tools option. Everything works well except that the video is rendered at a larger size that which it was recorded. The result is that the image appears slightly fuzzy. I can't see a way of controlling the size of the placeholder for the video file. Is there a way?

The problem with plugins is not everybody has QuickTime player or browser add-ons required to play the media. And there's little chance that visitors will download and install required apps just for your site.
The modern approach is HTML5 <video> with MP4, OGG and WEBM files to support all modern browsers and mobile devices.
Below is the HTML5 code:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 with Video</title>


</head>
<style>
video {
    max-width:100%;
    display:block;
    margin:0 auto;
</style>
<body>

Bigger videos take longer to load. Consider reducing the length, height/width & frame rate to get the file size down.

Adding MP4 video to a page created in DW CS5

I'm adding video for the first time and my initial attempt leaves a lot to be desired. I used the Insert Plugin to add the video, which is a full HD clip of about 150MB. It opens fine in IE, although it takes it awhile to load. I don't know what plugin to specify so it'll load up in any Mozilla session? Since it will take time to load, any suggestion about adding some "progress" bar would be appreciated- I guess with the right plugin that should be included?
The page I'm working on is here:

Adding Flash Video to web page

Hi Everyone,
I have a web page that I have added a flash video to using
the insert flash video option in Dreamweaver. I uploaded all the
files including the additional files that are created when you use
that option and when I try to get to the video file once I have
uploaded it will not play. If I use a link directly to the .swf
then it will play but the link to the page where the video is
inserted just shows a blank page. Can anyone give me any guidance
on how I can get this to work.
P.S. If I preview it from my desktop before uploading to the
website it works fine.
Thanks,
Robert

Upload the Scripts folder to server.

How do I add video to a Pages for iOS document?

I thought that with the latest updates to Pages that there would be 1:1 parity between the MacOS X and iOS versions of Pages. However, I am unable to figure out how to add video to Pages in iOS as I can easily do in Pages for MacOS X (just drag & drop). What is the secret to including video into a Pages for iOS document? Or is this just not possible? I don't see how audio can be added either. It seems to be Photos only from the + icon.

The video should be in your camera roll, tap the +, then the music note and choose your video.

Adding a new podcast entries page in iweb

I am sure this is basic stuff, but it is escaping me. I built an iweb site (published in Mobile Me). I added a video podcast page then added the first video podcast entry. All went well. I want to add another video podcast entry and this is where I get lost. I assumed that I could duplicate the first entry page I created, edit it and add the new video podcast and publish. I am unable to duplicate the page. I have a rather highly customized page and really do not want to recreate it from scratch. Maybe I do not need a podcast page and I should just use a movie page, though I did want subscribe feature. If you want to take a look visit http://web.me.com/waynek1/Site_2/Podcast/Podcast.html Thanks

The feed URL you give redirects to http://kaufmak.wordpress.com/category/podcasts/feed/ which is the URL being used by iTunes. This feed has only the one episode in it, that of 15 February, and that shows in the Store and when subscribing.
You are creating your feed in Wordpress: so if you have added an episode there you haven't taken whatever steps are necessary to get it into the feed - I'm afraid I can't advise on WordPress. You can only edit description and other data in WordPress; Chrome will allow you to examine the feed but not edit it.

Adding flip4mac video

I have been trying to add a video given to me by the person I am creating this website for over some time now. I put the CD in imovie to compress it as it was too large. It was created on flip4mac trial version, which I know nothing about nor does the person that sent it to me. It will not publish even when I publish all to mobileme. Additionally a new page with just text that I created will not publish after adding the video page. The only page updating is the main page. I am really at a loss at what to do at this point. Should I try to get the HTML code for the video?
This is the error message I get:
An error occurred while publishing file “/Web/.Temporary Web Resources/0C5F76B1-05A6-400B-8670-418E8EC53C41/Kijaso/Portfoliofiles/Media/rrRosefinal1/thumb.jpg”. Try publishing again later.

Try it as a Quicktime file and make sure you export it as the original format as sometimes all that is exported - especially from iphoto is a jpg file unless you specify format. As far as I know Flip4mac is just an add on for Quicktime - if I've got that wrong then someone will tell me. I convert videos with Visual Hub or Handbrake.

Insert several videos in a Pages file

We have recently created a complex book in iBooks Author and as it was very interesting we wanted to make it available too in iPhone so we prepared a simpler version using Pages instead of Author.
The problem was that we inserted several videos on a Pages file in order to upload a book visible on iPhone.
When we send it to our iPhone we saw all videos were the same, and it was the first one we inserted.
Trying to solve this problem, we decompressed epub file, looked into /OPS folder and we saw all <video src codes included the same video. It seems Pages rasterized each video under a new one and gives it the name of the book we defined in Pages.
We saw all videos inserted in the book were all the same.
Then we edited (with Dreamweaver) xhtml files and changed manually the name of the video in <video src codes and also added all m4v videos needed into /OPS folder. Also we added new elements into opf file.
We recompress all folders into a zip file, rename it to epub and send to iPhone via Proofer and it worked fine and we saw all 8 videos correctly
However, when we tried tu upload to Apple Store by means of iTunes Producer (last version) we get this error:
1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems:
          /Users/un/Music/iTunes Producer/Playlists/Vernacle_iPhone.itmsp - Error Messages:
                   Apple's web service operation was not successful
                   Unable to authenticate the package: Vernacle_iPhone.itmsp
                   ERROR ITMS-9000: "Unable to parse opf file: container.xml" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)
Any ideas?
PS as a reference, the same book in iBooks Author worked fine with each video correctly placed.

I'm confused, you are returning a GIF, not a PDF in the code below, but you are telling the client you are returning a JPEG.

Adding ADF task flow to page as region fails on first request

Using JDeveloper 11.1.1.1.0, I've created a simple task flow that executes a method call (to set some bind variables and issue a SQL query), then forwards to a jsff page. I've then added a region to another page and dragged this task flow onto my region.
When I run the page, I see the following in the log:
<24-Jul-2009 14:22:29 o'clock BST> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101020> <[ServletContext@19304275[app:pipeline module:pipeline path:/pipeline spec-version:2.5]] Servlet failed with Exception

If I make a second request to the same page, the same NullPointerException appears in the log but the page loads successfully. It seems that the first request from any new session doesn't complete, but subsequent requests do.
Can anyone give me any hints about what might cause the oracle.adfinternal.view.faces.renderkit.rich.FormRenderer to throw a NullPointerException at line 234?

Hi Branislav.
Since I don't have the source code for oracle.adf.* and oracle.adfinternal.*, it's very difficult to do any meaningful debugging. Debugging the code that I do have access to (apache packages), appears to show that the oracle rendering class fails when it gets to closing my af:form tag. I've removed the af:form and the page is now working correctly.
At some point I'm going to have to reinstate this form though :-\

Create a multiple Pg PDF with Forms, while adding up total of each page.

My name is Javier Morales, I am working on a project for a client in the clothing business. I created a form that it is working very good. I would like your help on figuring out how to insert additional pages to a Pdf form document and keep on adding the Totals of each page.
My email [email protected] I will really appreciate your prompt response. Right now I have them as single PDF documents, which work fine, as long as I dont try to combine them.

Fields within an AcroForm PDF need to uniquely named unless you want the identically named fields to share the same value.
You may have to rethink your approach. You should look at using the template object to spawn additional pages. Unformtuately templates do not function in versions of Reader before XI.

Strange bug -- adding one more button OR page causes Form warning to appear

I'm building a simple interactive document in InDesign CS4 on the Mac, to be exported/delivered as a PDF. There are a few text-based buttons on the Master Page that are set to Go To a Text Anchor on Release. There are 4 buttons of these buttons on the page, and each one leads to a different page in the document, and they all work fine. They are all built the same way.
I want to export a PDF that opens cleanly in Reader, meaning no unexpected dialog boxes or warning messages appear. Up until this point, my document opens cleanly in Reader.
However, when I create a FIFTH button (using the exact same method used to create the other buttons), OR I add ANY more pages to my document (which currently stands at 16 pages, but will need to ultimately be upwards of 40), for some reason, opening the PDF in Reader causes Reader to start displaying the large, distracting pink warning message at the top of the page:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form. Please print your completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
The fifth button I create (from scratch) causes this message to appear.
Or, if I add another page (using my Master Page, where the buttons are used), this message appears. Even if the fifth button is not created, and I add another page from the Master, this message appears.
If I add a blank new page (without using the Master Page), the message does NOT appear.
So, for some reason, adding ONE more button, or referring to the Master Page in the document ONE more time by adding a 17th (or more) pages, seems to kick InDesign/Acrobat Reader into thinking my document is suddenly a form, and causes Reader to display that obnoxious pink message when opening the document.
I've tried several troubleshooting steps.
- I've ensured my buttons have unique names.
- I've tried creating the fifth button from scratch, and also tried creating it from duplicating one of the existing "good" buttons.
- I've made sure the button has a destination page/Text Anchor to go to.
- I've opened the PDF in Acrobat Pro 9, and gone through all of the page and buttons in the Forms Manager, and there is nothing out of the ordinary in that view.
Why is Reader suddenly thinking my document is a form (that "cannot be edited/saved") when I add one more button, or one more page!? It's bizarre, and quite frustrating.
Thanks for any insights,
Robbie

You can use that same workaround with ID CS4 files. You just have to make the PDF and then go into Acrobat to add the security that doesn't allow editing (Acrobat -> Security -> Encrypt with Password) . That gets rid of the warning about the form. Of course if you actually have a form somewhere in your document, you won't be able to use that......

Video Formats in Pages to Epub Conversion

I have included (.m4v) videos in my Pages document and then converted to EPUB. These show up fine when I load the epub directly to the iPad.
However when I try and upload to the Apple iBookstore I am told the videos are in .mov format which the iBookstore doesn't want.
Sure enough when I look at the epub files (in Sigil) the videos are all described as .mov. Even editing the files in Sigil then has no effect.
Anyone know why Pages to Epub conversion puts the videos back into ".mov" format rather than leave them as ".m4v"? The videos were created in iMovie and exported as iphone .m4v files.

This is what Pages User Guides says:
Pages accepts any QuickTime or iTunes file type, including the following:
MOV
MP3
MPEG-4
AIFF
AAC
Maybe you should convert the m4v to something else? You could try to change the file extension to .mp4

Video in Muse Page

I want to add a .mov or m4v file to a Muse page locally.
thanks

Thanks for the links Aish, sorry for not being be more precise.
Firstly, the video I´d like to implement is on my own server hosted (one reason why I don´t use vimeo or youtube)
The second thing is I´d need also some kind of player for the video with a Play, Stop, Pause, etc. button not just the video on the page actually like video embedding via the widget works but without the necessity of a vimeo/youtube account.
Can that be accomplished with muse (without a big workaround)?

HT4640 Adding a video clip to a keynote presentation - do I have to keep the original video on the camera roll?

I have several keynote presentations that are missing their video clips. Does the original video clip need to stay on the camera roll after you embed it in the presentation? I thought not, because when you add a video, a message comes up saying "compressing video" before it gets added. That made me think that a special compressed version of the original video is made and saved along with the presentation. I've tried testing this by creating a new presentation, adding a video clip to it and then deleting the original video from the camera roll and the video clip in the presentation was not affected. You'd think if the clip were linked to a presentation, that iOS would warn you before you delete it from the camera roll. But I can't think of any other reason why the clips would suddenly be missing from all my keynote presentations.

You can do this with iMovie '06, but not with iMovie '08. You should have iMovie '06 still on your hard disk if you upgraded from iLife '06, or you can download it for free from Apple. Under Editing -> Video Effects, you will find the Fast/Slow/Reverse effect that will do this.

Multiple Flash Videos on 1 Page

Hi All
If i were to put 4 flash videos into a page, by using the
'import flash video' function in DW CS3 - will they all load at the
same time, or only load when the user clicks play?
Many Thanks
JP

Im not sure I understand, however I have a page up with 2
flash movies, but
I timed them by extending the first frame on the one to not
start any motion
until the first one is coming to an end.
So they both in essence start at once, but the one on top
plays out, as it
is coming to an end, the one in the body begins to move...

Dont know if that helps you or not.

CS6 - Trouble displaying Flash video in Web pages

Hi,
Here's my problem: I embedded .flv videos in HTML pages the same way I've been doing it for years. It worked fine until I moved to CS6.
The last video clips were edited and encoded in Flash format (1024x576 for 1800 bps) in Premiere CSS6 then embedded in HTML pages in DW CS6 after creating the .swf files with Flash CS6. All CS6, no compatilbity problems then.
Once onlie, they fail to display properly, i.e. you have to click a couple of times on the Start/Pause button and occasionally refresh the page to be able to view the video. It's works fine once started but the trouble is getting it to start automatically.
There's over 300 videos ranging from a few seconds to about 15 min on this site, and this is the very first time I come across this kind of problem.
Any suggestion?
Here's on of the old videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Bresil_Maranhao_Survol_Lencois.html
And here's one of the CS6 "troublesome" videos: http://www.aquiceara.com/UK/Video/Chine_HK_Tai_Hang.html

The answer is to exactly copy the code from the CS5.5 and below versions of Dreamweaver.
Bu Nancy is correct. Everyone is moving to other standards for video on websites. Nancy generally recommends Pickle Player and I have been hand-coding using the HTML5 standards. I have generally found that all videos play in all browsers using the new standards, though you do have to support OGG and WEBM video files on your server.
