Can't put video within template,

Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3. Is there a way to insert a flash
video within a page linked to a template? I always get the error
"making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or a translator". I tried unlinking, inserting the video,
then relinking but I get two regions that are not associated with
the template and so ruin the layout once saved. I need all pages to
be linked to the template as the navigational links are constantly
changing/updating - these need to be consistent with every page.
What can I do?!
THanks,
Steve

When you insert Flash video with Flash detection and
prompting, DW wants to
put this into the body tag -
onLoad="MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on this page
requires a
newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to download
it now?');"
e.g.,
<body onLoad="MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on
this page requires
a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to
download it now?');">
Let's assume that you have a child page with the video
already inserted
WITHOUT Flash detection.
What you would need to do would be to create a DUMMY page,
(FILE | New >
Basic HTML), and insert the video on that page, then copy and
paste from
that page into your template child page.
First, copy and paste the Flash detection script -
change this -
</head>
to this -
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
with(navigator){
var isIE = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 &&
userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);
var isWin = (appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") != -1);
if (!isIE || !isWin){
var flashVer = -1;
if (plugins && plugins.length > 0){
var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave
Flash"].description : "";
desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? plugins["Shockwave
Flash
2.0"].description : desc;
if (desc == "") flashVer = -1;
else{
var descArr = desc.split(" ");
var tempArrMajor = descArr[2].split(".");
var verMajor = tempArrMajor[0];
var tempArrMinor = (descArr[3] != "") ?
descArr[3].split("r") :
descArr[4].split("r");
var verMinor = (tempArrMinor[1] > 0) ? tempArrMinor[1] :
0;
flashVer = parseFloat(verMajor + "." + verMinor);
// WebTV has Flash Player 4 or lower -- too low for video
else if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1)
flashVer =
4.0;
var verArr = reqVerStr.split(",");
var reqVer = parseFloat(verArr[0] + "." + verArr[2]);
if (flashVer < reqVer){
if (confirm(msg))
window.location =
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash";
</script>
</head>
Then, assuming you have no other events in the child page's
body tag, change
this -
</head>
to this -
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.onload(MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on this
page requires
a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. Do you want to
download it now?');
-->
</script>
</head>
and you should be all set.
(by the way, my example is set to check for version 7)

  • Very upset that I can not put videos on my 5g 60gb ipod

    I paid near $600 for a 5g 60gb ipod of which does not come with any software to help one transfer video to the ipod. Apple expects me to use itunes to surf to their website to pay and d/l music videos for $1.99 or movie trailers.
    but what if I have a large collection of dvd movies? well apples answer is to cough up $20 for quicktime pro which claims it can do this, help encode movie files for playback on ipod. To make matters worse you ahve to pay another $20 for the mpeg encoder so you can actually encode vob files into .mp4 format.
    I admit I paid a bit more for my 5g because i know the issue apple has had with poor batteries so i got a warranty plan. Well for $500 apple will just screw you beccause you have to cough up another $40 for software that claims it can help encode for playback in the ipod, but the truth it the software hangs at 100% and fails to finish.
    please explain to me why I have to pay $40 more for something that does not work and which should come included with the ipod 5g 60gb for $500.
    I'm looking for a 1 click solution to convert my dvd movies collection into a playable format which i can upload to my ipod with 0 problems from start to end.

    I've spent weeks now trying to take a dvd movie I have and putting it on a .mp4 file format and i'm having lousy luck with it. I've tried videora v2.0 and more than half the time the application hangs/crashes when it gets to the end. Also tried imtoo mpeg encoder and imtoo psp video converter and both of these apps will hang when it reaches the end of the movie and it does this randomly. Once in a while the mentioned apps will 100% convert the movie.
    When I bought my 5g ipod it was made clear it could play digital video but apple misleads you because they make it sound like, after paying $500 you would have the tools to do it with included for the price. Even after I shelled out extra money for quicktime pro 7 and the mpeg encoder, it still fails. So far 4 apps can not seem to do the job. Its really a hit or miss if it actually converts a file. Thus far I've managed to convert only 3 movies out of 2 dozen dvd movies I've tried, and I experimented on 3 machines to just be sure.
    I am not going to pay extra money to send away my ipod to have movies put on it that I already own, thats not a solution. your solution is to throw more money at the problem to fix it when in fact apple needs to seriously rethink about the blunder they have made and correct the problem.
    first apple, needs to bundle/add software which can do the job, ie. quicktime pro with the mpeg encoder. This is their answer to the question people are asking "how to put dvd movies on my ipod". Next they need to have real support for the problem. Myself and my friend have been fighting with apple support for the past few weeks in trying to find a working solution to get dvd movies onto my ipod.
    Using itunes to download movie trailers to my ipod is not the same as having a real movie. I find no interest in the poor selection of music videos either. I have my own collection. I just want to use what I have.
    I find it dishonorable and a disgusting tactic by part of apple to sell a product for $500 that won't even let you take a dvd movie from your collection and enable you to put it on the ipod. I agree there does not seem to be an easy solution to the problem (I've tried other video app solutions which all fail) however I dont see apple making any real efforts and or documenting the issue.
    its like when I first bought my 1g ipod and the battery failed after 1 month, it went from 8 hours of use down to 30min and when I called apple for help they said I had to send it in to be replaced for the price of a new one!!!!! and that is a very real fact!!! So now it sound like I should return my ipod, and buy a new ipod thru some website which will preload it with dvd movies. please, gimme a break. if they can do it then why not just document the process to do this and make the software available for owener of 5g ipods so they can in fact put video on their ipod.
    now I have a 5g ipod, battery seems fine thus far but there really is no way to put the video one has collected on it, none what so ever and apples solution is buy their software which fails to work too!!!!
    for some reason every aplication I've tried seems to hang when it gets to the end of the movie or its some other problem that leads to a dead end.

  • How can I put video into my ipod

    Please tell me how can I put the videos in my ipod by using itunes? I try to put the DVD but it didnt appeare in my itunes. I cant add the video to my library

    Would you happen to know what format the Music Video is that you are trying to import? iTunes can only support a few kinds: MPEG, MPEG-4, and MOV.
    Make sure you are converting the file to an iTunes compatible format.
    If it is a WMV or AVI, it will probably not work. In this case, find a third-party program to convert these files for you. Search Google for free options.

  • I use a video camera to film stuff and can't put video on my iPod touch.

    Hi,
    I use a video camera to film stuff... and can't put the filming on my ipod touch...Is their any way of being able to put it in my ipod touch?
    Thanks

    did you already add the movie to your iTunes library and does is play in iTunes ?
    if so, in iTunes, click on the file once to highlight it and, from the advanced menu, choose +create iPod or iPhone version+. try syncing the newly created file to your Touch.
    does that work ?

  • I can't put video on my iphone

    I have some music videos and movies that I can't put on my iphone. I had the music videos on there before and then I bought a tv show off itunes. When I went to sync up the show it said it would delete the videos. I didn't think it would be a problem but now I can't get the videos back on there no matter what I try. My husband says it's because we updated the phone and we can't do it anymore. Can someone please help me?

    *Make sure the videos you are trying to sync can be found and played in your itunes library first and foremost.*
    Next go to the video/movies tab in itunes and uncheck the box to sync that media and hit apply to stop syncing that media. You should get that nasty message saying that it will delete the media off the phone. Click ok. Next check the box that you just unchecked and click apply again.
    See if that brings over the video to the phone.

  • Can you put Video Controls on an .flv video?

    I have an .flv file in my .fla file.  However, when I play the movie, it simply plays the movie along the timeline.  Is there a way to put video controls on this file?  Or do I need to use the videoPlayback option?
    If I do need to use the videoPlayback option, how do I make sure that the video always work, even if I move it to a different computer (because the references to the movie will change)?
    Thank you very much in advanced.

    Hi Ned,
    Thank you for your reply!
    I guess I mean that when I specify the path to my flv file and I export the swf file, the swf won't play the flv video if I move the swf file to another computer.  Does that make sense?
    Thank you for the answer though, I will use FLVPlayback!

  • Can't put videos on ipod

    i have bought a ipod video 30gb. but when i try to copy any videos into my ipod. there is a message that is doesn't works. at this site they say that i have to convert my video with iTunes. and when i do this, i can copy the video into my ipod, but there is no sound. what is wrong?
    thank you

    Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

    MoviesForMyPod (free)
    iSquint (free)
    MPEG ClipStream (free)
    Podner ($$)
    Forty-TwoDVD-VXPlus ($$)
    QuickTime Pro ($$)
    FOR DVD CONVERSION:

  • I can't put videos on ipod 30g

    Hello:
    I have an ipod 30g but I can't transfer videos from my computer to the ipot only the videos that I buy from itunes, and I bought the quick time 7 pro to convert my videos but it dosen't work or maybe I don't know how to do it, can any one help me with that?
    Thanks

    As Jeff pointed out, the Videora iPod Converter (free) is a Windows specific application that you should probably install if for no other reason that to convert "muxed" (single audio/video stream multimedia) formats. However, since you have already paid for QT Pro, I don't suggest you simply toss it away. While QT Pro is very slow when using the dedicated "Movie to iPod (320x240)" export option, it can also be used with the "Movie to MPEG4" manual preset collection to enter settings which can be much faster. In addition, QT Pro employs a gernerally "tight" compression strategy which may come in handy with some movie content. Basically, different converters work somewhat differently and sometimes one works better than another with a particular movie or if a single application is used, will need to be "tweaked" to operate at its best. So it is always a good idea to have more than one converter available if needed. After a fair amount of use you will likely gravitate to one application for general use based on the file types you use most often and their content.
