Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converted FLV files have sound but no picture

Hi,
It would be great if anyone can help - I am using the latest trial version of Flash CS4. I have used the Media Encoder to convert mpg4 files to FLV however the resultant files play with sound but no picture - just a black screen. Is there a solution to this issue?

mostly this problem is caused by lacking of
some nessery codec. Which means when reencoding your video to flv, it can not generate the video.
Does Riva FLV encoder needs any extra codec? I am using Moyea Flash Video MX 6. It do not need any extra code. It needs in the former versions but in version 6 it can convert nearly any video format now.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converting mp4 to FLV

    Hi,
    First up why is there no forum for Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
    My issue is whith converting MP4 to flv.
    The video is added to the que.
    Problem is no video picture is shown, during the convert process.
    When I go into setting and move the play head along the timeline no video is shown.
    The video was generated using Apple's HD iMovie.
    All setting are on default.
    Can someone please help.
    Why is source video has no picture. If I do encode to flv I just get the audion
    Does Adobe have some problem with MP4 created by Apple HD Movie?
    Regards,
    Simon

    well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro  and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
    but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
    then using     keepvid.com   i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
    now it works in my flash perfectly.
    hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
    cheers

  • Using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 for MTS files

    Hey everyone, I did some searching on this topic to no avail so here I am.
    Anyway, I recently got an HD camcorder that records in 1080i AVCHD.
    I have no problems getting the MTS files off of my camera but as I'm sure you can imagine, working with those files is a whole other issue.
    I've found that Adobe Media Encoder CS4 works great in encoding these files to QuickTime format (.mov) but the problem is that the resulting file size is actually bigger than the original MTS file which is unacceptable, especially considering I'm encoding the files from 1920x1080 down to 1280x720.
    Does anyone have any experience using AME CS4 to convert MTS files to a more workable 720p format for uploading to YouTube?
    I've tried a number of different custom settings to no avail (where you see an "or" is where I've tried different options):
    Format: QuickTime
    Video Codec: MPEG4-Video or H.264
    Quality: 100
    Width: 1280
    Height: 720
    Frame Rate: 29.97 or 23.976
    Field Type: Lower First or Upper First or Progressive
    Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    I won't list the audio options because I don't think that has any bearing on my problem.
    Any ideas as to why the encoded file sizes are actually larger than the MTS file sizes?  Maybe AME CS4 is not what I should be using for this task?
    Thanks for your help,
    Tom

    I figured it out.
    If you select H.264 as the format you can then select YouTube Widescreen HD for the preset.
    This will set everything up to convert your MTS file to 720p and reduce the file size by around 30% with little quality degradation in my experience so far.
    The only problem I encountered was the video was kind of choppy when the camera panned but that was remedied by upping the frame rate from 24 to 29.97.
    Hope this helps someone and if anyone has any suggestions to improve efficiency or reduce file size post it in here.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converts MOV to F4V without sound

    My environment:
    Mac OS X 10.6.2
    MacPro dual 2.66 dual-core Xeon with 2 GB RAM
    Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS4
    I have a QuickTime movie that has both audio and video components. It plays just fine in the Finder and QuickTime Player. I’m trying to convert it to Flash video for posting as a streaming file to our Web server. I’m new to Flash, and this is a bit of an experiment, so it’s quite possible I am going about it all the wrong way, but whenever I use the Adobe Media Encoder to convert the MOV file (51.8 MB, 1152×648 frame, PCM stereo audio, H.264 MPEG-3 codec) to F4V for insertion into Flash and eventual generation of a SWF file, all I get out of the encoder is a video. The video claims to have AAC-encoded stereo sound, but nothing plays.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for what I could be doing wrong or what’s not happening properly? I’ve applied all available patches to all CS4 applications. The movie was originally exported from Keynote, if that makes any difference.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Stor.e TV + - playing .mkv files have sound but no picture

    I've just transferred all of my .mkv files onto my store TV + but most of them have sound but no picture?They play fine on my PC...
    Also,anyway of changing the icon on the folder to the actual dvd cover on the store TV +?Sick of looking at yellow folders!!
    Thanks..

    Hi
    Found the StorE TV+ specifications on this Toshiba page:
    http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/eu/store-external-hard-drives/tv-plus/
    The Store TV+ supports the video formats:: MPEG1 (DAT, MPG), MPEG2 (VOB, MPG, TS/M2TS/TP TRP), MPEG4 (AVI, MP4, MKV), VC-1 (WMV), H.264 (AVI, MKV,MOV, MP4), RM/RMVB (RM/RMVB)
    The MKV files are supported by MPEG4 and H.264 video format.
    Are the files recorded in this formats?
    How about playing other files i.e MPG or AVI?
    Furthermore I would recommend checking the connection to the TV.
    Here is a user manual which I found on the Toshiba page:
    http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/Global/Manuals/Store/Manuals/STORE_TVplus_User_Manual.pdf
    It shows you how to connect the Store TV+ correctly.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4, converting mp4 to flv - seriously drifting sync

    (Not sure this is the right forum for this - I didn't see a forum for AME but it's being used in conjunction with Flash)
    I've  been trying to convert a 2:54 mp4 to flv, and when I'm done, when  playing the resulting flv it tells me it's now 3:37. Of course the audio  runs out at 2:54 so I have half a minute of silence.
    The mp4 was ripped from DVD using HandBrake.
    I  tried converting using a couple of different presets and keep getting  the same result. I can't seem to locate any sort of "keep video locked  to audio" option in AME CS4.
    Maybe it's a frame rate  issue? I'm not sure how to determine the frame rate of the original, but  the DVD is a burn from the video house that produced the video - US  format. So probably 29.97?
    Help!
    - Bob

    Well that did work. Unfortunately Viddler turned the previously 16 x 9 video into 4 x 3. Not sure why - found a thread there where they suggest this could happen if exported from a Mac. My source was ripped from a DVD (though it may have originated on a Mac).
    So now we're just linking to it on YouTube. Crappy solution but best I'm going to get under the circumstances.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 runtime error

    I am wondering why I am getting a runtime error while
    attempting to use Adobe Media Encoder CS4...As soon as I launch
    Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it crashes I have installed and
    reinstalled Flash a couple time, to see if this corrects the
    problem, which it doesn't, and just last week it was working
    fine...Does anybody have a ideal what is going on?

    Don't know if this helps anyone else, bt the runtime errors i have been getting occur when I try to build and burn a blu-ray file. And they happen intermittently. In fact, on this project, I had burned several test blu-rays without difficulty. When I made one minor change on the penultimate version, and tried to burn again, the system crashed with a run time error. Then it crashed 9 more times over the course of the week.
    Finally in frustration, I created an interim ISO file in Encore- ie in the build workstream, i selected burn an image file rather than burning a blu-ray disk. After this intermediate step completed, i then did a separate burn in encore but burned from the image file. No snags.
    Not sure why but this program has trouble doing a sequence of activities. As it is, I already render and save the file before burning. Now I have another interim step to create an image file before burning.
    In my next hardware change, I am going to switch to make Mac and Apple software. Enough of MS Windows and Adobe, the GM and Chrysler of the software industry. Hopefully what my friends tell me is true; that Apple stuff actually works.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Importer?

    I am trying to help a user get all applications installed after a hard drive crash, and am looking for a program that was listed in Add/Remove Programs. The program listed is "Adobe Media Encoder CS4 Importer." I have installed all components of Flash CS4, and it's still not showing, and a search of the Adobe site doesn't mention the importer? Any guidance would be appreciated.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 problem

    I having a ***** at Adobe
    I do have a lienced copoy  CS4 Design Premium. I down loaded premier  pro CS4 to demo it about 8 months ago and had not used it up to about 1 weeks ago. All that time Adobe Media Encoder CS4 did not work. I came back to the problem last week when I wanted to convert a video to a FLV file, did not work, I went through uninstalling and reinstalling Design Premium: reloaded parts of the the suite still did not work: went to the forums and tried every which way to get resolution nothing worked. This morning I opened up Premier  and  it world not open without serial key I was only a week into the 30 trial period. So I uninstalled premier. Reloaded the Media Encoder and guess what it worked. I am know looking at buying another product. Another thing while using the trial version I could not demo encore CS4.
    ****** off
    PS I have now uploaded the FLV to my website. I never had any problem with AME CS4 until I loaded Premier CS4

    These directions are specifically for windows 7 x64
    It may be hidden since it's a system folder. You can get to it one of two ways.
    Either: Hit start button + r to get run, then insert  (C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder\4.0\) without the () and press enter. *This is assuming that your username is Administrator. If the folder exists it will take you there, even if it is hidden.
    Other way: hit start button on keyboard and type in "folder options". Press enter when it shows up in the start menu search. Click on the View tab then select "Show hidden files, folders, or drives" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".  This should enable you to see both the AppData and Roaming folder. You may want to undo these selections otherwise you'll see files you usually don't want to see. (thumbnail caches...)
    If neither of these methods work, let me know which folders you see in this directory "C:\Users", Administrator may not the account you're currently running on.

  • No Sound - Adobe Media Encoder CS4

    Hello,
    I have been trying to convert an MPEG file to F4V using Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
    However, no matter what parameters i choose on the encoding, it will always generate a F4V file with no sound.
    I also updated all the CS4 package to the latest version; doesn't seem to helped a bit.
    Any ideas?
    Thanx

    mostly this problem is caused by lacking of

  • No audio on Adobe Media Encoder CS4

    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 (4.1.0.107) to convert an MPEG2 clip with WAV audio to FLV or to F4V.
    The export audio checkbox is checked but the output file I get has no audio.
    I'm using Windows Vista SP2.
    Please I need your help !!!

    I have VBR as an option under FLV/F4V. Multiple passes, too.
    Nothing special here. I have used most of these settings to test them out (VBR multipass wasn't available previously in PPro) and compare them to my Sorenson Squeeze results. You'd be better off with Squeeze, but it's not too bad in this version...much better than the previous implementation of the On2 VP6 encoding.
    Different vendors with their different applications utilize codecs differently. In other words, just because VBR or multi-pass encoding is part of the available spec on a certain codec (for example, On2 VP6) does not mean that the entire spectrum of options will be fully implemented in your application of choice. Sorenson Squeeze has one of the better utilizations of On2 VP6 available for the price.
    EDIT - Make sure you are using Flash 8 and higher, not Flash 7 and higher. Sorenson Spark codec is limited to CBR. It's all available in the video tab under Basic Video Settings and Bitrate Settings.

    Hi there, I have a trial version of elearning suite 2.5 and I have the error "Thank you for using Adobe Media Encoder CS4. The Adobe product that installed Media Encoder has not activated.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 doesn't encode audio

    I'm having trouble getting the Adobe Media Encoder CS4 to
    work properly. I have tried multiple files of different lengths but
    end up with the same output. Nice video encoding, but the audio
    starts and then cuts out after a couple of seconds. The longer the
    video, the shorter the audio works. The logs don't report any
    issues. Anybody have any ideas?

    I have the same problem just trying to crop an FLV. (Encoding from FLV to FLV on Snow Leopard).
    The audio just dies about 5 seconds in (the clip is 28 seconds long).
    Sucks. I wish I could find the original .mov
    I wish I wasn't forced to recompress the audio.
    I've tried various settings all night - most settings result in no audio whatsoever.
    Also, Media Encoder alters the mod date of my original file. Why?
    I'm really frustrated with this software.
