Basic question about Flash video. Please Help

Hello,
Sorry for the noob question but I'm struggling with the basic
understanding about the Flash video.
I just need to reduce a large video file to a small size with
a nice quality and the Flash Video Encoder does very god job with
that. But when I double click the compressed .flv file it opens as
a blank screen in the stand alone player without playing any video.
I can use Dreamweaver to produce a web page playing the file, but I
don't need this file for posting it on a web page, I just want the
file smaller and to simply play it on my computer or send it to
others.
What is the way to do this?
I appreciate your help.

It sounds like you're not having problems with the actual
compression of the videos, just the playback, correct? All you need
is a standalone player that plays FLVs. Like Quicktime Player plays
MOVs, and Windows Media Player plays WMVs, you need something to
play the FLV files. There are many free options available. On a
mac, I use something called, strangely enough, SWF & FLV
Player. You can find it here:
http://mac.eltima.com/freeflashplayer.html
Just do a search for FLV players and you should find
something appropriate. The only downside is you'll need to make
sure anyone you're distributing the videos to also has an FLV
player. If you're sending your files to just a few people, no big
deal. If this is for the public in general, you would want to embed
a Flash video player in an HTML page and send it like that.
Hope that helps.

  • Question about Regular Expressions, please help!

    I have created an app which reads files and extracts certain data using regular expressions in JDK1.4 using Pattern and Matcher classes.
    However it needs to run on JDK1.2.2 (dont ask). The regular expression classes are not available in 1.2.2 (the Pattern and Matcher class) so i am looking for something similiar which i can use?
    I need something that loops through all the matches found in the file like how Matcher works i.e.
    while (matcher.find())

  • A question about arrays. Please Help

    Ok here is my question lets say i have a multie varible array such as
    int[][] thisList = new int[3][64];And I have a number of other arrays that are single variable arrays, and which have data stored in them.
    List1[64]
    List2[64]
    List3[64]is there a way i can store all these three list in the multie varible array?
    for example i know i can do this, > Correct me if i am wrong
    List1 = List2; where List1 one now contains all the elements that List2 has.
    but is there a way i can
    us the same format with a multie varible array, to store all three list in it.
    such as thisList[1][] = List1; thisList[2][] = List2[]; Thanks

    for example i know i can do this, > Correct me if i
    am wrong
    List1 = List2; where List1 one now
    contains all the elements that List2 has.There will be one array. Both the List1 and List2 reference variables will point to that same array.
    (By the way, convention in Java is for variables to start with lowercase.)

    such as thisList[1][] = List1; thisList[2][] =
    List2[];
    You can do thisList[1] = List1 if thisList is an int[][] and List1 is an int[]. However, that will not copy any ints. It will just do the same as the above--cause the reference thisList[1] to point to the same array object as List1 does.
    If you want to copy values from one array to another, use System.arraycopy.

  • Question about lost iPod - Please help me out!!

    My iPod was stolen and is there anyway to relocate it if it connect to someone's computer? Could Apple track it down? And I am not sure whether I have registered my iPod online. Is there anyway to check??

    Apple have no process in place to either report or track stolen iPods. All you can do is report the theft to the Police together with it's serial number, and if your iPod was registered with Apple when you first got it, they will assist the Police in returning it to you should it ever be recovered.

    Launch Terminal.app
    Type cd followed by a space. Do not hit return key just yet.
    In Finder, navigate to folder containing the files you want to blow away.
    Drag and drop that folder (in the finder) into the Terminal.app window. It'll autofill the path to the directory containing the files you're wanting to blow away. Now hit the return key.
    You could type ls (that's a lower-case ell) and see the directory listing of all the files in your current directory. Probably a good idea to do just to doublecheck that you really are in the directory that you want to blow away all these files from.
    Now do what Greg said.
    Don't get impatient because Terminal is just sitting there and you're not getting an immediate command prompt. It'll take a while to blow away 9000 files.
    For entertainment, instead of rm *" copy"* use rm -v *" copy"* so you can watch all 9000 file names be printed in your terminal window as they are being deleted.
    Will it work? Oh yes .... irreversibly (if it doesn't, that's coz' there are some file ownership and/or file permission issues that need to be looked at, but assuming those are "compatible" with your current Terminal user environment, those guys'll be toast. Any file that's in the working directory where you are in Terminal that has the five characters " copy" in its filename will be history.
    The assumption in Greg's command is that all the files you want to blow away all reside in the one directory that you have navigated to.

  • A question about firing event, please help

    I would like to know how to fire an event in the following situation:
    public class FireAnEvent
             public static void main()
                   char c=(char)System.in.read())s;
                   String source="I'm the source";

                          fireActionEvent(new ActionEvent(source,1,null);
    }the above code won't work obviously, but what should i do to make it work, or is it possible to fire in this situation?
    thanks in advance;

    My personal favourite way to quickly fire custom events is through using enums in the XXXEvent class. That way checking which event was called is easy, and it's also typesafe.
    fireXXXEvent(XXXEvent.ID.MY_ID, "...");
      private List<XXXListener> listeners = new LinkedList<XXXListener>();
      private synchronized void fireXXXEvent(XXXEvent.ID eventID, String args) {
        XXXEvent event = new XXXEvent(this, eventID);
        event.setupOtherStuff(args);
        for (XXXListener l : listeners) {
          switch (eventID) {
            case MY_ID:
              l.xxxAction(event);
              break;
            case MY_OTHER_ID:
              l.xxxOtherAction(event);
              break;
            default:
              break;
      public synchronized void addXXXListener(XXXListener l) { listeners.add(l); }
      public synchronized void removeXXXListener(XXXListener l) { listeners.remove(l); }

  • Basic questions about CISCO IOS

    Hi everybody, Jack here,
    I have some basic questions about the Cisco IOS, could someone help me addressing some of them please? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Basically, I have two IP addresses assigned by our Cable ISP. From what I understood you can configure a Cisco router for multiple IP addresses using the IOS, thereby allowing someone like myself to take advantage of having multiple IP addresses. This may seem unnecessary to some, but I've always wanted to put the 2nd IP address to use, since after all, I've been paying for it.
    I was just wondering if someone could confirm that what I'm hoping to accomplish is indeed within the capability of the Cisco IOS (i.e. Fully utilize my 2 IP addresses). As well, if someone could kindly suggest a decent CISCO router for online gaming home use that would be super awesome!
    Thank you all so much for reading through the wall of text:)
    Jack

    Jack
    Certainly using multiple IP addresses is in the capability of Cisco IOS routers. How they can be used depends on the relationship of the IP addresses. I am assuming that we are talking about IP addresses assigned for the user to use and that the IP address for the ISP connection is not one of these that we are talking about.
    If both of the IP addresses that you have been assigned are within the same subnet then you would assign one of the addresses to the router interface to establish IP communication between the router and the ISP and to enable Internet connectivity for the devices inside your network that will use the router as their gateway to the Internet. The other address that is assigned can be used for address translation and in particular for static address translation which would make one of your devices inside to be reachable for connections initiated from the Internet (if that is something that you might want to do).
    If the addresses that are assigned to you are in different subnets then you could assign one address to the outside router interface and assign the other address to the router inside interface. Or you could use the second address for address translation.
    I do not have much expertise with online gaming, but I would think that either the Cisco 881 router or the 890 router might be appropriate for you. If 100 Mb connection is sufficient then probably the 881 would be the one to look at. If you need Gig connection then look at the 890.

  • Some basic question about SCM Installation

    Hi Folks,
    Could you please advice me about some basic questions about SCM and its installation -
    Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
    Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
    Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
    Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
    I know these are some basic questions, but these will help me give me a direction.
    With best wishes,
    Krishna

    Hello Krishna -
    Q1. Do I need to have an R/3 System to be able to practice OR demo the SCM system?
    ---> There are various Modules in SCM Like APO (Sub Modules  DP (stand alone), SNP Needs Master data from R/3 and has to pass on transactional Data to R/3, PPDS same as SNP, GATP same as SNP), ICH needs Data from R/3 to work with. Core Interface (CIF) connects R/3 to APO for transferring data.
    Q2. If, yes, which version of SCM is compatible with the ECC 5.0?
    -->For thorough understanding explore the following links

    Q3. What are the basic requirements to install SCM (version compatible with ECC 5.0) and ECC on a oracle db and windows OS?
    -->Refer Above
    Q4. Does SCM have APO and BI as an inbuilt functionality OR does the user need to purchase these as an Add-On?
    --> APO comes with a small BI inbuilt functionality. you can only perform certain functions using that BI.
    Hope this helps.

  • Basic question about NR filter

    Very basic question about the (perhaps oversimplified) interface of the noise reduction filter.
    Does anyone know definitively whether the first "Strength" slider is a master control for the filter overall (i.e. it controls the power of all other sliders below it), or whether it only affects an individual parameter (such as what might be perceived as luminosity-based noise, rather than color noise)?
    In other words, if Strength is set to zero, but Reduce Color Noise is set to 100%, does the color noise reduction effectively become zero or 100%?
    Neither the Help Menu nor three of the aftermarket books I have definitively addresses this. There are further redundancies regarding this "Strength" slider when advanced mode is turned on: for instance, if Strength on the "front" panel is set to 0, but 9 on the individual channel panels, what is the effective strength?
    Thanks in advance -

    Yes I'm sure it will work great for you.
    The iFrame format is something Apple has come up with. The reason for its existence is unknown to me so I can only speculate. But it seems to me that Apple "invented" this format in order to have devices such as Ipod/Ipad/Iphone/Ixxx create clips that are editable on consumer hardware such as already mentioned devices but also standard Mac computers, without the need for format conversion.
    iMovie converts most input formats during import, which takes a lot of time, and this need for conversion often comes as a surprise to most people new to home video editing.
    iFrame has a resolution of 960x540 which is long way from the common standards of 1920x1080 and 1280x720. If your end target is YouTube however, this may not be too bad though. However if you intend to go with YouTube HD, you may find iFrame footage to look wrong since they are effectively upscaled to a higher resolution.
    Technically iFrame uses the H.264 algorithm, a smaller frame size (960x540) and a rather low compression scheme. This will result in large files, but the plus side is that the files are ready for editing without the need for any conversion and iMovie will natively edit the files.

    Hi,
    I have problems to understand you question but will do a try:
    From a logical point of view objects can be only serialized reasonabely when they have a state of it's own which can be reestablished at a later point in time and space without further dependencies.
    F.E. a "serialized file" would NOT make much sense cause it depends heavily on the state of the underlying file system.
    You can't expected that is can be deserialized at a later point of time (physical file refered may not longer exists) or on another machine, where the serialized object was transported to.
    Technical - at zero approach - it's more or less trivial. Simply implement Serializable and all non static, non transient fields of your object will be serialized automatically.
    But there is a couple of pitfalls, you should study documentations regarding this feature.
    Hope this helps

  • Basic questions about macbook pro + external monitor

    Hi,
    I have some very basic questions about using a Macbook Pro + external display. I don't actually have them but need to know how things works.
    So, here they are:
    1) Can I use the external display as the main display?
    2) Will the external display run with its resolution or with that of the mbook pro?
    3) Somewhere I read that you cannot keep the macbook pro open and get the full resolution of the external display. Is that true ?
    4) Is it dangerous to keep the mbook closed while using the external display?
    5) Does the usage of the external display impact on mbook performance?
    I know...a lot of questions , but would be nice if someone could help me.
    Thanks.

    Hi - I am presently using an external display.
    To answer your questions in sequence:
    1. Yes you can use the external display as your main display. The way to enable that mode is to put your MacBook Pro to sleep, attach the external display. Wake up your MBPro with the lid closed and you will see the external display as you main display. You can alternatively set the external to "Mirror" your notebook by using preferences/display.
    2. The external display will run at its resolution although you can adjust and calibrate it using Preferences/Display.
    3. Not true. You get max resolution on both displays. Of course you may have to tweak as mentioned above.
    4. Not at all. I use this mode all the time. Just make sure you initially set up as mentioned above and your LCD on the MBPro will stay off.
    5. I have not seen any performance degradation whatsoever.
    Hope this helps.

  • Basic questions about JAAS capabilities

    I've never used JAAS for authentication or authorization in a Java app before. Can somebody that has (or at least has some experience and knowledge about JAAS) please answer the following couple of basic questions about it? (I know I could probably answer these myself with a few hours of reading.)
    1. Can I use JAAS to restrict the users that can execute specific methods of my code?
    2. If the answer to #1 is yes, is there a way to programmatically determine if a JAAS login user has the permissions to run a method before actually calling that method. In other words, can I ask something like canUserExecute(method) or do I have to just put the call to the method in a try/catch and catch a security exception of some type?
    3. Is it fairly simple to have JAAS authenticate against a Windows Domain or a LDAP server?
    4. Are there programmatic ways to add or edit user information in JAAS?
    Answer to any of these questions are greatly appreciated. I'll even toss a couple of Dukes to the people that answer each question. Thanks in advance.

  • Basic questions about Notes domino connector

    Hi,
    I have a very basic question about the Lotus Domino connector for OIM. We have a requirement to provision accounts into the domino mail server and while doing that also update some information directly into a separate nsf file.
    I checked the documentation and it seems while configuring an IT resource, we need to give the Mail DB path, and thats the only place where it refers to it.
    Could you guys please let me know if this can be done? Can I write directly to a different nsf file, which is not like provisioning to the complete mail server. So the other attributes in the IT resource may not be able to be set up as its just the file I need to provision into.
    Looking forward to your response.
    Thanks, M
