Any way to load/buffer a video file without playing it?

I want to play an f4v file in flash, however when I play it I want it to already be loaded and buffered before I send the commands to play it.
is there an example anyone an hand me of doing this?
my purpose is to have some events going on in the SWF movie then it immediately switches to playing a video but it has to be very synchronised. I dont want to play the video and have the person waiting ont he video to load.. I want to load the video in the background beforehand... then when it's time for the video sequence I send the commands to play it and everything is good to go.
Any of you have any helpful suggestions or examples on how to do this?

Assuming we are talking about progressive playback: Try to set large bufferTime on NetStream. Also, if you want entire file to be loaded, call pause() right after play(), again, on NetStream instance and monitor bytesLoaded.
Just a note: it is extremely difficult (if impossible) to synch Flash scripts with video playback via NetStream with razor sharp precision because video is played independent of Flash frames.

  • Is there any way to load music onto my iPad without going to the computer and iTunes?

    Hi,
    My iPad is sync's with iTunes over WiFi. Is there any way of pulling songs/albums down to the iPad from my iTunes music collection (not iTunes purchases)?
    Or am I forced to have to drive this from a seat in front of iTunes directly?
    Thanks
    Phil

    The sync manually is fine. I don't use iTunes match. I just want to drive the selection of songs and the sync from the ipad rather than from the computer. There are 5 iPads in the home owned by different family members with different music tastes. It would be good if they could make the selections themselves.
    The goal is to have the songs synchronised with the iPad so that they are available away from the home and off of a network.
    Cheers

  • Hi, haven't used iMovie in years.  I shot some video with my cell phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S2).  When I tried to make a movie, the clips I downloaded played back sideways on iMovie.  Is there any way I an flip the video from horizontal to vertical?

    You actually want a vertical video??
    What would you show that on?!

    In earlier versions of iMovie you can also do this using Quicktime Pro 7:
    Open MOV file in QT Pro (QT 7.6.6)
    Window -> Show Movie Properties
    select "Video Track"
    select "Visual Settings" from lower window
    check "Preserve Aspect Ratio"
    Click on appropriate rotation icon (MOV rotates!)
    Click back on the open MOV in Player Window
    FILE -> Save
    You can also do this using TransformMovie, available here:

  • My i-Pod Classic 160GB won't load MPEG-4 video files.

    The files didn't actually contain any video! They were corrupted.

  • Any way to view you tube videos?

    is any way to view you tube videos while waiting for this quicktime fiasco to be fixed? No quicktime movies are working at all, and it's really annoying. I was wondering if there was an alternate method to view videos or do I just have to wait patientally?

    well here is the deal. Since I did the recent update on quicktime, NO quicktime movies play at all. I get that faded quicktime logo with a ? instead. Youtube also has that for every video and nothing plays. I have flash 9 and I unchecked the flash option (there wasn't wasn't one in the mime settings, it was just in the quicktime advanced tab), restarted The computer and I till have the same result. It has been a week allready and I still can't view movies of any sort. Thank you for yoru suggestions, but Is there anything else that could be wrong?

  • I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?

    I just downloaded a video in HD, but I found out after the download was over my computer doesn't play HD videos. Is there any way I can return the video and get the SD version, or upgrade my computer so it will play the HD video?

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3209
    When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

  • IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?

    IS THERE ANY WAY TO EMBED LINKS INTO THE FILE YOU ARE WORKING ON?

    Ha! Perfectly classic case of XY problem! Pointed out by Jongware in some other thread recently - couldn't find an exact link right now...
    In short:
        User wants to do X.
        User doesn't know how to do X, but thinks he can fumble his way to a solution if he can just manage to do Y.
        User doesn't know how to do Y either.
        User asks for help with Y.
        Others try to help user with Y, but are confused because Y seems like a strange problem to want to solve.
        After much interaction and wasted time, it finally becomes clear that the user really wants help with X, and that Y wasn't even a suitable solution for X.
    Maybe it worth to add to a list of tips and best practices of the forum:
    Avoid XY problem!

  • I have purchased the last Creative Suite available on disk. It will load on my old Mac Book Pro.  I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and just realized there is no place to put a disk.  Is there any way to load the programs to my new computer?

    Buy an external optical drive such as the Apple USB SuperDrive that is made specifically for that model.
    Use the optical drive of your old MBP to clone the DVDs to USB flash drives, then install from the flash drives.
    Connect both computers to your local network and then share the optical drive to install the software.

  • Is there any way to load and play the iPad scrabble app on my Macbook?  i can't believe there is no scrabble app for my mac

    Is there any way to load and play the ipad scrabble app on my macbook?

    There hasn't been a Scrabble version for OS X since 10.3 -10.4 on PPC, the intel swtich and they just left.
    Scrabble owners will sue the living daylights out of anything that looks like it or uses the name.
    Would love to play on my new Mac latop
    Apple in their infinite wisdom didn't allow iOS apps to run/ported  as widgets etc on OS X Dashboard like many users requested long time ago.
    There is no Scrabble widget on Dashboard downloads page or anything close to it.

  • Is there a way to send a large video file through email, not using websites?

    Hey guys,
    Just wondering if there is an easy way to send a large video file through email, not using websites such as yousendit.com.
    If anyone knows please respond, would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

    No there isn't. Most all Email providers, whether your ISP or some other provider like Google, Yahoo, Microsoft with their Outlook.com or Office365 and Apple's own iCloud system, have a linit on the max size a email can be. Most are around 10MBs some slightly larger but if the vieo you want to send to someone it larger than that you will have to upload it to a website and then have the people you want to view it download it from that website.

    If you aren't going to live that long maybe you should give up with computers and start enjoying the few remaining hours.
