Can I place a html5 or flash video of a surfer in the header section?

I have been asked to build a home page with a video of a surfer riding a wave at a fun surfing location. We think it would be cool for the web user to come to the home page and right away watch a surfer catching a wave and riding accross in the video in good size area of the header section of the home page. Not sure what technology is available to best do this...html5 or flash or even java any suggestions would be helpful.
I have been browsing the web to see other similar examples and ideas to get a feel for the best way to approach this.

Yeah I get it. You want a video banner. It doesn't really matter where you want your video placed on your page. The point is you want a video on your page, right? I think you're over-thinking it, dude. It doesn't matter to techies if the video is of a surfer at a popular surfer location. It could be a video of a surfer doing a bellyflop in a mud puddle for all it matters. That's irreclevant to the technical discussion. Try to boil your problem down to the basics here. I'm just wondering what your problem is. Are you having a problem embedding a video or what exactly? If you're having a problem embedding a video on your page then I suggest using YouTube as a cross browser solution. You can use the embed parameters to customize your YouTube video to do things such as autoplay, loop, custom size, hide YT controls, etc. Give it a try for a simple solution.
best,

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome) The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is XPpro.

Firefox5 is not showing BBC iPlayer Video & Radio.
Other browsers are all fine(Safari,IE,Chrome)
The iPlayer webpage is all there but the flash video player is black. The OS is MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3.

Also, when the flash video does not show up it displays the error that I do not have the current flash player. The problem is that I do have the current flash player that actually plays flash from another section of the website.
Forgot to add that earlier.

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

Can contributablelement be used to populate a META tag in the head section?

We're currently using UCM 10gR4 with SSPU.
We'd like to use a contribution element to allow contributors to add text that would populate the META tags (Keywords and Description) that reside in the HEAD section for a node.
In most cases, there is a 1-1 relationship between nodes and Content Items (placeholders).
I've already built a solution for this using Custom Section Properties, but the preference is to allow the contributor to review/update the meta values with another contributable element. Then, the text entered can be reviewed within workflow and the element is more prominent to the contributor.
The next best solution would be to use a metadata field to update the meta tags.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance,
Todd M

bingo!!!!
Ryan, that was it! The measly little escape characters! Now it's working like a charm, which makes my day!
Here's the recap of the fragment, if others find it useful.
Intent: to allow contributors to enter content that would appear in the Meta tags for a particular page. This content will also go through workflow for the appropriate approval, as well as be more prominent for the contributor to actually enter the content!
Here's the fragment code. "Content" as it appears in the code is the defined placeholder name. MetaKey and MetaDesc are elements added to the Region Definitions (as plain text). The conditionals at the end of the fragment handle the case if these areas are blank.
Thanks to all for your responses!

How can I edit the head section of a page made from a template?

Humm, I made a page from a template but now I cannot modify the <head> section... I will need to add some HTML to the head section that will be different for at least this one specific page...

Be aware that you CANNOT use the DW UI to add an editable region to the head. A properly made DW template always contains two editable regions in the head of the template: "doctitle" and "head". If you do not have those, then as Nancy says, you will need to add them.
To add an editable region to the head of your template page, just copy this and paste it in to some legal place in the head of the page (like immediately above </head>).


Change the name as needed.

How do you handle global security settings so everyone on the network can view a desktop app with flash video?

I have written a desktop application that allows a user to view a flash video presentation. I would like to put this application on a network drive so that everyone can view the presentation at their leisure. Is there any way to do this without having each each user enable the location in their global settings? Basically, if the location is not listed, then the video player I am using fails to play.
Thank you for you help in advance.

I figured it out.
It's under the pop-up window. Select edit locations to select confirm.

Script to copy Flash video from npviewer.bin to the home

Hi all, some times ago flash video were stored in /tmp and I was able to copy them out. Now this desn't happen any more. I have searched out for a while and I have written a command to copy them from the process npviewer.bin to the home.
Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
cp `lsof | grep Flash | \
awk '
if (NF != 10) {
proc="pnf";
inode="inf";
else {
proc=$2;
inode=substr($4, 1, length($4)-1);
print "/proc/"proc"/fd/"inode;
} '` ~
This does the trick but I'd like to improve/correct it, there are some things about cp and awk which I haven't understood.
For example: if I moove the '~' inside print, like this:
#!/bin/bash
cp `lsof | grep Flash | \
awk '
if (NF != 10) {
proc="pnf";
inode="inf";
else {
proc=$2;
inode=substr($4, 1, length($4)-1);
print "/proc/"proc"/fd/"inode, "~";
} '`
the code between `...` produce the correct (I think) output like this (I had 3 Youtube tabs opened on Chrome):
/proc/5149/fd/11 ~
/proc/5149/fd/14 ~
/proc/5149/fd/15 ~
but cp complies that the target "~" is not a directory.
Any comment, suggestion, improvement? Thanks!

Why don't you use a simple find in /proc/fd?

My command looks for files that are opened by a process and that contains "Flash" in their instance. Those kind of files are generated for example when you buffer a flash video and are deleted when you close the browser tab.
Find command doesn't make this selection and gets lost! On my pc your command generates this term output (sorry for the Italian):

USB videos are not supported by the head rest monitor?

HI,
I purchase an XAV712bt HU in India. The video out from the DVD/CD is displayed in both the screens (HU&Head rest moniter). But the video files in the USB is displayed only in HU and not in the head rest moniter.
Could you please any one help me sort this issue and get USB video output in Headrest moniter.
thanks,

When is Apple going to ... allow us to use USB 3 on a Mac Platform.
Maybe in 2011 when Intel starts using it? There's a website for this here:
http://www.mac-usb3.com/index.html
You were simply cheated on ebay I think.
In any case, you can tell them what you want here:

Flash videos are not loading on the gametraielrs website. I just get an empty spot where the player is supposed to be.

Videos not loading on some sites like gametrailers.com. I updated flash reinstalled firefox and cleared all my cache. All did not work
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.gametrailers.com

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Is it possible to have a Flash video activate content outside of the video at predetermined times along the video timeline?

I am creating educational videos and would like to set points within a video that will make things happen on the website, either a different window or the same window as the video. Is this possible? I'm not a web developer so posting how to do it won't do me much good. However, if it is possible, I'll need someone to program a user configurable system so I can set this link points as I produce videos. Thank you very much for your time.
GT

yes, you can use cue points to trigger events.
if you're looking to hire someone to do this, send me an email via my website: www.kglad.com
if you're looking for someone to do this for you without charge, you'll want to post your message on as many message boards as you can.

What do i need to download to my iphone 3gs to be able to view all 4 security cameras at the same time? I can view one at a time live video streaming and just tap the screen to which direction i want to look and the lens moves.i use safari

What do i need to be able to view all 4 security cameras in the same window on my iphone 3gs? I can view 1 at a time and just tap the screen to move the lens of the security camera on my iphone from my work place. But i once had all 4 cameras but it will not downlosd all 4 now. Is there anything out there like a stronger java to push the activex to my iphone?

The iPhone does not run ActiveX. That is proprietary to MS Internet Exploder.

Have the flash video activate a function at the end of the movie

I have a movie that when it finishes playing I want a
function to happen.
It is a tutorial movie and I want to require the viewer to
watch the whole video before
they can click on the html to go to the next page. How do I
do that?
Thank you.

Hi Nickterbeenan and Nickels55.
I very much appreciate the help, and I have looked over this
code, inserted the action script in the keyframe where the video
resides, but I'm at a loss at what part I change to enable a js
function to occur. Specifically, I want a "Next" button not to be
activated (functional) until the last frame of the video is played.
It looks like you have provided the code, but when Nichels55
states:
You can change this part of the code:
_level0.play(); gotoAndPlay("37");
to whatever you want to happen when the movie ends.
I'm not sure what part of that code I can change. I do have a
js coder on board with me. All I need to tell
him is where, how and what he puts in the code to make his js
do its magic.
Your help is much appreciated, thank you.

Why can't I charge my Samsung 4GLTE wifi hotspot and surf at the same time?

Is the charger too weak to charge the device and surf the internet at the same time?

Works for me, have done it several times since I got mine. Something that is totally useless with the old 3G MiFi after they upgraded it.

No matter how many uninstalls and reinstalls Firefox 4 will not play flash videos w the latest flash plugin installed. What do I do to get flash videos to play like everyone esle can?

Trying to solve my non-playing flash videos wherever I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1, such as CNN or anywhere really while surfing. Even at the Adobe web site I cannot play demo videos and I own CS4 Suite. I can play any YouTube video I select.
I surf in Firefox 401 w Flash plugin 10.2.159.1. Don't tell me to UNINSTALL then REINSTALL the flash player as I have done that too many times.
I logged out and logged into my clean account where I install nothing. No joy.
What the heck is the problem? No one else seems to have this problem as I am told many play CNN videos fine.

Hi arpriltime,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-crashes-or-flash-plugin-crashes Flash plugin troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there that should help you get to the bottom of your issue.
Hopefully this helps!
