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:

Thanks

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>

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

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?

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.

Adding a layer to a page created with a template

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
I created a template page. Yer boring L-shaped banner and
left menus. Added a table in the lower right. Made it editable.
Created many pages. Wanted one of the pages to have a
show/hide layer, so I tried to create a layer in the page. When I
try to insert a layer, I get an error message "Making this change
would require chaning code that is locked by a template or a
translator. The change will be discarded."
Huh? If the area I'm trying to add a layer to is editable,
then why is it forbidden by the template?
Any enlightenment gratefully received.
regards, David, Ottawa

You have to click in the editable region you just inserted
(do it in CODE
view, but NOT between <p> and </p>), and insert
the layer.

Video on my iWeb created pages

I have tried several different methods/codecs of video loaded onto my site using iWeb. I've tried mp4, wmv, flv and mov. None of which seem to be viewable to anyone not on a Mac. Can someone please tell me why or what I may be doing wrong?
Thanks!

I added the video by dragging it into the page and resizing it to a larger scale. I'm not sure about the people who have been trying to view it and their system capabilities. I do know that some of them are graphic designers and animators and would like to hope that they've got QT installed. But I guess that's kind of my question in a nutshell. Is iWeb taking the video in whichever format I place it, even if it's a wmv or flv, and then turning it into QT? Because that has been what I've assumed but can't figure out why. It does give people the Quicktime question mark even when it was the wmv version.

Is there any way to publish the .SWF(not MP4) from Captivate 7 while creating a Video Demo project?

Hello all,
I am upgradiing to Adobe Captivate 7. The previous version I used was Captivate 4.
I found a new feature (Video demo) in the latest Captivate 7 which generates an MP4 video output when the project is published. The feature records exactly the way I want.
Unfortunately, MP4 video does not help me. I require an SWF file to place in my LMS.
Is there any way to get an SWF output using the same(Video Demo) feature?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kartik

Hi there,
It is possible to publish a video demo project as .swf by adding the video demo slide in a blank project.
1. Create a blank project, select the desired Project size.
2. From the Blank project, click on 'Insert>Recording Slide' menu option.
3. Press 'Ok' to the button.
4. Click on the 'Video Demo' option from the recording dialog.
5. Perform recording
6. Once you are done with recording, delete the first blank slide present in the project
7. Click on Publish, select the 'SWF output' option.
Thanks,
Nimmy Sukumaran.

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.

When adding a mp4 videos as a slide, what should quality be changed to?

When adding a mp4 videos as a slide, what should quality be changed to? (Optimized, J-Peg or High 24-bit)
What will this do?
Thanks,
Mike

Himanshu, if loading a video on a slide, would the slide quality setting for that slide have any effect at all? It's my own understanding that the videos are always separate and loaded when needed. So I'm curious if the slide quality would remotely matter in this case.
Cheers... Rick

I need to create an APP that runs on an Android Tablet to play mp4 video stored on the SDCARD. I have tried using VideoPlayer and passing NULL to the Connect() method, but while this will play a video from a shockwave SWF it will not play it as an APP from a .apk file.

There are several apps in the App Store. Look at them to see what might meet your needs. There is a keynote app that might be best for you.

I have created a slideshow mp4 video in Lightroom 4 - I want it to play automatically

It is made up of 236 high resolution images and has a soundtrack. I burned it to a DVD, but when I put it in my HDTV blu-ray player it doesn't play automatically, I have to select the mp4 video and then it starts playing. I want it to play automatically when I insert the DVD in the tray. Is encore the right tool for this?

What you have now is a DATA disc in BluRay format... which is not really a "movie" disc... which is why it does not play automatically
You need to download the PDF and start reading to learn how to use Encore to AUTHOR a BluRay that will play automatically... also read the tutorials
I don't do BluRay, but I do have some links that give information on what you may give to Encore for authoring

ITunes 11 deletes newly added m4v and mp4 video files!

I'm really loathing the new iTunes for a number of reasons.. but this one really takes the cake!
When I try to add an M4V or MP4 video file, iTunes deletes the file and does not add it to the library!
I never had any issues with 10.7.. and seeing as there is no way of reverting back that I can find.. any help in how to solve this... or is this one of those wonder new "feature's" I now have to contend with?
Thanks

Are you frustrated that whether you drag and drop your video files to iTunes 11, or add video files from “Add files to Libray” or “Add folder to Libray”, nothing is imported even though the files are in iTunes 11 supported MP4, MOV or M4V video format.
If iTunes 11 won’t import MP4, MOV or M4V, first make sure your install QuickTime Player. Even though you hire VLC or Perian or any other media player to take care of your video playback instead of QuickTime, you still need to install QuickTime in order to add video to iTunes 11 for transfer to iPad, iPod, iPhone or Apple TV.
f you install QuickTime player but still can’t add MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11, there is no other solution but to convert MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11 supported video MP4.
Visit the Step-by-Step Guide on how to successfully import all kinds of MP4, MOV, M4V to iTunes 11
The guide also applies to import AVI, WMV, MKV, etc to iTunes 11.

Mp4 videos on my new bb 8330 curve do not play. How to make them play ?

I bought a new blackberry 8330 curve last week, but most of the mp4 videos that I had and play great on my palm centro, will not play at all on my new bb 8330. When trying to play them they either cause the player to blink and green "loading" to flash at top right of player screen but never play, or more often they dont play file while giving error message " An error has occurred attempting to play media".!
Anyone know why this happens. How to fix?
And everytime I click "enter" button to try to create space here typing in this forum post it bugs out and takes cursor to top of page, instead of doing what every normal enter command does by creating space below.
Also fix the stupid blocks to posting messages not allowing simple things like "to", "has" ..etc in tags and tiny limit to title subject.

First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (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. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. 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/en/software/mac/player

How to play MP4 video in SharePoint 2013?

I want to play different videos in SharePoint 2013. I have added three videos in different formats in the Asset Library. One WMV and two MP4.
When i click om the WMV video in the library, it start to play ok. And I can put the video in a published page and it works ok.
But if I click on one of the MP4 video, I got the error message "Media failed to load. This file is in a format that is not recognized". What do I have to do to make it work? (If I try to start the MP4 video from my computer it works ok)

Hi Ona-M,
Did all MP4 videos occur this issue?
Please install the Silverlight on your computer, check if the MP4 videos could be played.

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
Thanks
Mark

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

I cannot copy mp4 video files to my iPod video

I am having a problem with my 6-month old (6 months since I bought it) iPod Video. Before, I was using iTunes 6.0.0.18 (earlier relase of iTunes), which was installed from the CD included in my iPod. I didn't have a problem except that that version of iTunes does not have video conversion functionality to formats that iPod supports (to .m4v format) so I decided to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes (v6.0.5.20) to achieve this. When I upgraded, it created a new problem - for some reason that I don't know, I can no longer drag .mp4 files to my iPod. Everytime I drag a .mp4 video to my iPod, I'm getting an error message - "Some songs in the iTunes music library, including the song "xxxx", were not copied to iPod "xxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod.". Can you help with that? Thanks
AMD Athlon 1.4 GHz; 512 MB RAM Windows XP Pro My USB is not 2.0

That error is saying that the format can not be read on your iPod.I get this message when adding my video's to iTunes. So you need to convert them here are converters
