Can I add codecs to Adobe Media Converter?

I have two marketing professionals who from time to time have to convert media that a third party sends us to a format we can post on our internal intranet site. Being a mix of Windows XP and Windows 7, the most common format that will play in browser is WMV. One person can convert to WMV and a whole boatload of other formats are also available in the format column. Another person only has a few things in their format column like FLV and MPEG4. We tried the MPEG4 option and we copied the file to our intranet webserver and followed code guidelines here: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_videos.asp but Windows XP clients using IE7 or 8 cannot playback the file. The only thing that seems to work for IE7/8 XP users is using this mess of code here: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media/streaming/embed.html and ensuring that the video file is in WMV format.
So basically we need to add a way for the other person to get all the additional formats... really just the WMV format. The origninal file is a mov file and can be well over 100+ MB. The WMV file is about 20-30 MB and on a LAN is is much better than 100+ mb. Plus WMV just natively works without installing additional software on 100+ employees machines.
Thank you for your help.
Adobe CS5.

We ended up purchasing a program for $35 to convert the video.
Seems like the Adobe Creative suite includes Media Encoder, but only the most advanced CS suite with Premier adds all the codecs to Media encoder. First I did try adding things like sharks windows xp codec pack and others. While that allows playback of various h.264, x.264, mkv and other file formats, it does not add anything like wmv to Adobe Media Encoder.
$35 wasn't a bad price compared to Adobe Premier which would be a waste to spend money on something they just need to convert - not produce video.

HDV conversion for Premiere CC Windows using Adobe Media Converter

We are trying to use HDV footage in Premiere CC on a Windows system. The HDV footage was given to us already been captured on a drive. It will play using different players. We need to convert it to a format that Windows Premiere CC can understand. When we go to convert the footage in Adobe Media Converter, it can not even read the footage to be able to convert it. The Export Settings/Source says "Media Pending" What are we missing here? Thanks.

"Media Pending" means just that...be patient. When I import HDV clips into Premiere, I get that same message on screen, but at lower right of Premiere screen it will show a progress bar for "Indexing" of the MPEG video. Once that completes, then I can see the video. Give it a try in Premiere. HDV is definitely supported.
Thanks

Codecs for Adobe Media Player

I have Adobe Media Player installed, and it works fine for Adobe Flash.
I got rid of Apple Quicktime some years back - it was a PITA. I now use the
VLC player for MOV files. but I'd also like to use AMP for MOV files. I've
seen a few sites that offer an MOV codec for AMP.
Does anyone have any feedback on this, and can anyone recommend a good
source for an MOV codec for the Adobe Media Player?
Thanks -

This is extremely frustrating, I have downloaded the videos numerous times and ran into the same problem. I hope someone from Adobe will provide a resolution to this problem soon.

Can I use Flex with Adobe Media Encoder to automate encoding?

I am thinking about learning Flex assuming I can do the following.
Can I use Flex to automate the process of converting/encoding videos from many formats to FLV format?
If so, what encoder do I use for this process? Flash media encoder?
Can Flash Media Encoder interface with Flex (PHP/XML/ActionScript) to automatically with presets configuered convert/encode videos that have been uploaded and placed into a folder into FLV format?
Thanks.

Guys,
I have developed a simple script ( batch file *.bat)) that will check if encoding is still being done ( every 60+ secs ) and if the process is over, it will shutdown the PC. I tried to keep the code very very simple so that others can improve it.
For now , i have tested this on Windows 7 SP1 - 64 bits and it wokrs well.

Can you add Hyperlinks in Adobe LiveCycle Designer

Hi,
Does anyone know if you are able to add hyperlinks to the form which would allow me to jump to another separate pdf file?
Thanks in advance,
Trev C.

Hi,
Paul has some solutions for this.
The following tread has two solutions:
(1) set up invisible objects (like textfields) throughout the form and then script setFocus to those fields.
(2) If using LC 8.1 you can add hyperlinks.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1915856#1915856
There are some good posts to the forum; try searching specifically the LC Designer ES forum for "hyperlink".
Sorry, just reread your question. In relation to opening other PDF files from within a form, you are going to come up against a security error. This will require you to have a JavaScript (.js file) in the JavaScript folder within the Acrobat programme folder. This .js file will also have to be deployed to all users' computers.
The last post in this thread has a solution: http://forums.adobe.com/message/1359932#1359932
I am not sure if this would suit your requirements, but another solution is to create a Portfolio with the required PDF files inside the portfolio. Then it is easy to create a link between the files using the "Link Tool".
Good luck,
Niall

Attempting to copy files fails(i can't add files to the media folder)

I am using Itunes 10 on windows 7 64 bit and my problem is :

Since then whenever i try to add something to the library(it can add to the library its the extra copy feature in whcih it fails) i get the error

I don't know, but in general I would advise adding content to the library, then adding the content from the library to the device. Syncing with selected playlists is easiest as you can manage the content when the device isn't connected and you'll be able to restore the selections if you need to restore the device.

Adobe Media Converter problems...

Problem #1 - seems when I'm trying to convert larger files, I instantly get the message in the timeline "Conforming file..." - this NEVER goes away. However, 9 times out of 10, if I restart my machine and try again it will instantly start encoding without any issues - so obviously there was no need for any conforming in the first place. What could be causing this and how do I fix it?
Problem #2 - my file are 1920x1080. If I convert them to f4v's without any resizing, and then play in a flash player at 640x360, the video is stretched and not as "high" as it should be, despite the 640x360 being a perfect aspect ratio to the 1920x1080. If I do convert with resizing, then it looks fine, but I'd like to have a better quality when users switch to full screen if possible...
What might I be doing wrong? Thanks in advance...

If the Audio is not in 32-bit, floating point form, with existing PEK files, then it DOES need to be conformed. I do not know of any camera that shoots 32-bit, floating point Audio, but might have missed one.
In your Project's Scratch Disk folders do you have the CFA and PEK files already? If not, they need to be generated. If so, no Conforming should go on.
Because of the size of the CFA's, I mentioned the free space on HDD's, as many have experienced Conforming issues, when they just did not have enough space. Cannot say that this is your issue, but is something to check.
Also, the time to Conform the Audio will depend greatly on the Audio specs. and CODEC used, plus the Duration of the Clips, plus the speed of the computer.
As a for instances, if one Imports a muxed MPEG w/ 12-bit 32KHz Audio (MPEG CODEC), it will take MUCH longer to Conform, than would a DV-AVI Type II with PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit Audio.
With the former, one can expect to go to Starbucks, get a latte and then come back to find it completing, and with the latter, it will happen almost too quickly to even see the blue progress bar. Still, the Durations and the system will weigh heavily on those general timings.
Good luck,
Hunt

FLV Conversion in Adobe Media Converter substandard

I have just purchased the entire CS4 suite and have noticed some severe limitations to
the so called "media conversion" software that comes with the suite.
I have a 2400x600 mov file that needs to be converted to FLV for a Flash presentation.
However, this piece of software has a maximum resolution of 1920x600 in this
situation.
As this is 2009, this is totally unacceptable, and even when upgrading to the latest
updated the flv conversions are still limited to 1920x600.
(Interestingly enough Flash Mx2004 can do a 2400x600 transconvert)

Please tell us more about the source content. Are they from your own project? Did you rip them from a DVD?
Are you importing the DVD videos directly into AME, or are they in Premiere sequences that you're exporting to AME? If the former, have you tried opening the clips in PPRO to see whether that app sees their full length? If the latter, do you have a work area defined?
Also, what version of AME do you have, and are you working on Windows or Mac?

How can you add optional audio to a converted ppt deck?

Our group is working on a project based on a powerpoint deck synchronized with audio .wav files (and converted to an .swf file). The deck is an interactive training module with a voiceover. We want to maintain the association of particular slides in the sequence with particular wav files, but we want it silent by default. How can we make it so that the voiceover audio is silent by default, but have a "play now" button embedded in the deck?
Any advice would be welcome!
Christina Leshko

There are a couple of ways you could do this:
Add a button labelled 'Play Now' to the very beginning of your slide and set the button's pause point so that it pauses your slide before the audio begins to play. The button action would be to simply Continue. So when the user reaches this slide, they can inspect the graphics or text on the slide for as long as they like and then click the Play Now button to listen to the audio for that slide.
Do not have your audio connected to the slide but to the Success caption of a Play Now button. The button pauses the slide but the audio will only play when the user clicks the button and the Success caption would have appeared. If you do not want the Success caption to be visible, make it a transparent caption with no text. It will be present on stage while the audio is playing but not visible to the user.

Installing Additional Codecs to Adobe Media Encoder?

I was wondering if there is a way to install additional codecs to AME CS5. The one specific codec is MPEG-1 codec. It was taken a couple of revs ago. Any info would be great.

Jim Simon wrote:

I'm not sure that's true.
I had to reinstall Media Encoder CS4 because it had so many more than CS5 which only had 4 formats. Same computer trying to convert the same AVI file. I'm sure I'm missing something.

Conversions in Adobe Media Converter are too short

I've been trying to convert dvd videos to wmv's. Every video I try only shows that it's length is under 10 seconds, even though each video is from 5 to 10 minutes long. Why is it only converting 10 seconds of a 5 minute video?

Please tell us more about the source content. Are they from your own project? Did you rip them from a DVD?

Can't locate Adobe Media Encoder Vista (64bit)

I am having trouble locating AME in C:>Program Files (x86)>Adobe>Premiere Pro CS5. This is the trial version, Installed it about a week ago and had to reinstall because of a system restore I had to do. Last time I installed it, there was a sub folder with a shortcut to AME. Now I get a dead link labled Adobe Media Converter and when I click on it, I get a "file can't be located" error message. Anyone here having the same issue? I don't want to take the risk of purchasing a corrupt file. Adobe clean tool didn't detect anything.
Thanks,
Dan

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
I think i'll take my future posts elsewhere.
Why? The information you got was accurate.
John was describing the situation if you exceed your 30 days with the trial. Harm was talking about obtaining En and AME separately from Pr; he wasn't talking about installing them separately.
Finally, you went looking for a 64-bit app in Windows' 32-bit Program Files (x86) folder. 64-bit apps are found in the plain ol' Program Files folder. You were looking in the wrong place.
If you feel hard done by the other users here, I understand. But I doubt you'll find as knowledgeable a group elsewhere, and you certainly won't find the employee participation that you get here anywhere else.
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Adobe Media Encoder Unexpectedly Quits

Hello,
I was trying to export a flv file from CS4 today and I have been receiving an error Adobe has detected that the application adobe media encoder CS4 has Unexpectedly quit. I?m using CS4 4.1 and the matrox 4.1 beta build.
Here are our settings:
This was originally a CS3 project now opened in CS4. The source footage is 720p, 29.97fps, m2t files
I was exporting them with the adobe media encoder
Flv F4v
Using no filters
Format Flv
Video
On2 VP6 Codec
Not encoding the alpha channel
Resize to 640X360 (half size)
Frame rate: same as source
CBR one pass 500kbps
Set key frame 150
Undershoot target 90% (this is new to me I left it at the default but what does this mean?)
And Simple Profile is not checked (This is new to me I left it at the default but what does this mean?)
Quality: high
Audio
Stereo 64kbps
I tried making a wav file and a F4V and neither of those caused Adobe Media encoder to shut down. But as soon as I try making a flv using these settings the encoder opens then comes up with this error. I would think it has something to do with my settings maybe I need to change something. What should I do and what is a F4V file??
Thanks

Updates. This is becoming an emergency, I can't seem to export anything from any projects!
Has anyone out there updated their adobe media encoders? Whenever I go to file export I get a dialogue that says there is a update available. My editing system has not been connected to the internet so I have not tried updating yet.
We are using the Adobe 4.1 and Matrox utils 4.1beta.
we are using a Matrox Axio LE system.
In other tests I tried exporting from a 720p 59.94 project using m2ts and a 720x486 29.97fps SD project where the source file was a uncompressed AVI but both were unsuccessful.
I can however open up the adobe media encoder if I chose F4V upon export. When I choose FLV the encoder opens then quits. With F4V the encoder actually opens but when I select start queue the encoder just sits there and does nothing.
I have also just tried another test exporting from 720p 59.94pfs 1.0 PAR. to M2V which didn't work.
The encoder actually opens this time but when I start encoding the encoder just sits there. I can see that it starts to create a file in the specified destination but never really gets going.
I was using these settings: export Audio and Video, no multiplexing,
720x480 Quality 5 (all the way up, Progressive frames,
4:3
Audio 16bit 48khz,
no filters
M frames 3

Some Adobe Media Server questions

Hello,
I need to setup Adobe Media server for my production environment and I have some questions.I need to have online media library (video on demand) available for end users as clips embedded in my site. My questions are:
- What kind of source files are supported (source format, video/audio codec etc).
- I also need dynamic video quality (user internet connection quality sholud be detected and video quality adjusted automatically). In addition, video should be transcoded and user should be able to choose video quality (and resolution) by hand. FlowPlayer is preffered player to be embedded to my site and it should be set up as client for adobe media server. What is the best way to implement this scenario? I can't find any step by step guide how to setup this (including dynamic quality adjustment). Any help
- Live streams. The same as vod. I assume I will need Flash Media Encoder to encode stream from input source, so client will need to setup bitrate and other parameters? How to setup dynamic quality for clients - will server transcode stream again? How to setup this? I can't find any guide step by step, can you help me?
- Video chat. How can I setup this using Adobe Media Server? Is this possible to make video chat via Adobe Media Server using flash applications like FSChat?
