Compression or optimizing for embedding onto website

I'm brand new to Premiere elements. I can see how to trim portions of an hour and a half recorded webinar I made, but it takes FOREVER (like 3 days or more) to save/convert the file. Is there a way to compress or optimize? The original file was a wmv. I think it should be saved as AVI to embed on a website.
I know this is a basic question, but shouldn't saving the file be relatively quick? Why would it take so much time?
Is there a way to export or compress or do somethign to make the file size smaller and take less time to save?
Thanks.

The problem is that you're using a WMV as your source file. WMVs are highly compressed, and the program must first convert them to the program's own workflow codec before it can then convert it to whatever your output format is.
What model of camcorder is your original footage coming from?
If it's not a camcorder, what codec or file format is available for you to use? (If you must use WMVs as your source format, I'd recommend you edit with Windows MovieMaker instead.)
What is the final format and resolution your outputting your finished movie as?
There is most likely a much more efficient workflow than you're using.

What is the workflow for embedding FLV into website?

I have a client that I created FLV files for. Now his "web guy" is asking me how
to create SWF files so he can embed them onto his web pages. I
explained that Premiere only creates FLV and F4V files. My understanding is that he needs Flash
Pro CS5 to create the SWF files. Is this correct? I have been all over the web looking for t
he workflow for embedding video files like they do on you tube. I'm a videographer dammit, not a web designer!!
thanks for your time,
Stuart

There is really no need for him to get Flash if he doesn't already have it, he can use the embedding method in DreamWeaver or better yet, use a third party video player like
JW Player:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/jw-flv-player/
or Flow Player:
http://flowplayer.org/
just to name two.

Can websites be optimized for faster loading?

I have created a rather comprehensive website for nature, science and the environment in my region. I have tried to make it content rich with both text, links and photos for the broader, general population. I am,however, receiving complaints from about 25% of my subscribers that page load times are long, (sometimes very long) and that loading sometimes stops before continuing. A few of these say that pages won't load completely and one has said it has crashed his browser. Most others (75%) report absolutely no issues what-so-ever.
The website can be found at: http://web.mac.com/rwolfert/NJNature_Notes_Website/FrontPage.html
After questioning about 2 dozen readers, I have the feeling it has to do with the following (so far):
1-browsers…IE is the slowest by far with Safari and Firefox best. Safari renders pages best.
2-computer memory…I can't prove this yet but this seems a no-brainer. Anything less than 1 GB of memory is really not going to help with complex pages.
3-processor speed…this too should be obvious…newer machines will handle complex pages better
4-add-ons like drop shadows and reflections on images
5-and possibly, too many images on a given page
So, this leads to some questions about optimizing pages or an entire website.
1-Does the website have TOO many drop shadows, and/or photos?
2-Is there a way to optimize photos that have been resized so they are as small as they can be while not losing any screen resolution? I would imagine that when adding photos to a page that will play slideshows, that the images are automatically optimized for the page. But, images that are resized or masked on the page itself, are not. Is the answer here to process each of those kinds of images in iPhoto or Photoshop first, at the exact size? Would I have to set resolution in some way too?
3-Do I really have to 'dumb down' the site's graphics (drop shadows, etc.) for people with older and slower computers, and the 'wrong' browser?
Thanks for any help. I would really love to resolve this issue or, at least, give the complaining viewers an answer.

Something else I just thought of.
If you have other computers available (windows, too), would you please try the website there to see if platform or older vs. new computers make a big difference, different amounts of memory and/or processor speed, as well.
Note, I removed about 20 drop shadows and photo reflections from the Front Page of the website and I do seem to get about a 20% decrease in load time.
Thank you very much.

Please help me load an .flv video that has been embeded onto a web page

Hello there,
I was hoping someone on this forum could please help me with one specific problem that I am having. I would like to embed the a flash player into an html page, and load the video from a service that has the streaming video provided.
This is the context of the situation...
We have created a site that was to be used on a showroom floor (no internet connection) and loaded the .flv videos at the local root level for the site.
Now however, we would like it to be an online site. I have been able to use the flash "jw player"to load videos to play using the shadowbox javascript, but when I try to embed it onto a page and have it play, it isn't working and I am not sure why.
Below is the code that is currently working to load the videos on the local root level.
Might someone have any ideas on what I need to replace to have it load the videos from the streaming service?
I would greatly appreciate any assistance that could be provided. I can also provide a URL if it would help.
I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance provided.
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

<p><a href="http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer">Get Flash</a> to see this player.</p>
</object>
</object>

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the reply. However, I am pretty confident that the jw player supports the streaming video option, but as I mentioned that I was able to use it as a popup using the shadowbox javascript before. After doing a bit of investigating on how the videos are hosted, I am using "progressive download" method for these videos.
I think the problem is that the player.swf is hosted on my website server - and the videos are then hosted on the media hosting service. I think that the player needs to be located on the media hosting service, and then embedded onto the page along with where to point to the .flv video. Does that sound right?
If so, the paramater I am using to embed the player as I mentioned in my original post is simply:
<param name="movie" value="player.swf" />
does the "value" then have to change to the http:// address for the video player.swf that would then be hosted on my video hosting service?
Little help?
Please let me know if there is anything I can provide to clarify the issue.
Thanks

The other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and now none of the icons for the different websites I normally go to are there?

As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks

On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden.<br />
The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help.<br />
You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to log onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... Help?

Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to long onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... I'm finding it frusrtrating and annoying since I cannot use Firefox 4.0 Beta 6. It works on other accounts excluding mine - What is this crap rigged or something? I have to resort to crappy Google Chrome and Safari since it messed up on both of my computers... Here's what it says when I double-click the short-cut: " Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features. " Although, it says the way to help - Can you like, dumb it down for me?
ALSO, here's what it says when I go onto http://runescape.com - It says: An error occurred during a connection to www.runescape.com:443.
Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.

Tips for Changing Flash Website to HTML / Dreamweaver

I am going to be taking over the management of a website that was designed entirely in Flash. There really is no need for the entire website to be entirely in Flash - it is confusing to navigate and most of the content would be so much easier to update and maintain if it were saved in html. I want to keep two flash effects - one is the splash page and the other is gallery where a grid of photos flips up like cards and you can click the individual photos for a link to a specifications page.
So, my question. Is there an easy way to transition the site from flash only into html / dreamweaver? I think I already know the answer to this - "NO" - I'm going to have to redesign the site in dreamweaver and just insert the two flash elements I want to keep, but if anybody has any tips or tricks that would be FANTASTIC! Thanks.

The problem with FLASH sites is that they speak a different language - Action Script instead of HTML. While some Flashy effects can be emulated with DHTML (JavaScript, JQuery etc...) it's not always possible to achieve the exact same feel without FLASH. Everything depends on how Flash-centric the original site is and how much your client/boss is willing to toss out in favor of a more web accessible, search engine / user friendly / standards compliant website.
Incidentally, SPLASH pages are a complete waste of prime URL real estate. You don't want a Flash or image only SPLASH intro page on your ALL IMPORTANT domain name default page. If anything, you need to rebuild home page in HTML with plenty of keyword rich content for search engines and people to grab onto.
For more meaningful suggestions, please post a URL to the live site? It will be interesting to see how it ranks on Google and other SEs.

I downloaded Firefox Optimized for Yahoo on my PC and get an error message about every 15 seconds: Java Script/ Uninstall set. I deleted Firefox and did a new download/installation and am getting the same problem.

:I went to Mozilla's website and downloaded the Firefox Optimized for Yahoo, following the directions. The download installed easily, but when it opened my Yahoo web page (I already had an account with them), the Java Script error message "Uninstall set!" immediately began alerts, and kept repeating the alert about every 15 seconds. I got the same result even after uninstalling Firefox and downloading a fresh installation. I am only getting this alert via Firefox; I do not get it when using my Yahoo page with Google. Thanks.

Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro

I'm sure you've seen this before and I've tried to search for a thread on it here and fell asleep, so sorry if this is a repeat.
I have edited projects in Premiere Pro (on my PC) and I have tried to transfer them in FCP. It worked with the exception of two things:
1. the error message, "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro"
2. the quality *****! watching it on the playback in FCP it looks great, but then when I burn it to Disc it's pixelated in spots and generally has a lower quality picture.
I know that it's Standard Def. and can't expect the best, but I've done it before (once or twice) and it didn't seem this bad.
Can someone suggest anything to help the quality? Should I run my AVIs through MPEG Steamclip to make it a QT file and if so what is the best format in that since there are many to choose from and most I'm not familiar with?
Thank you,
Crayton

I did compress them to DV NTSC then burned it to DVD and the result was no bueno.
I thought what I would do is try compressing them again before I send them on over to DVDSPRO. Here is a simplified break down of the situation:
- I have edited the raw footage in Premiere Pro on my PC. They were recorded and captured as SD.
- I rendered them in Premiere, then transfered the rendered AVI file to FCP.
- When went to place the files in FCP, I received the warning message; "Following Media Files Are Not Optimized For Final Cut Pro" but I went forward anyways and it allowed me to do so.
- Originally I went ahead and compressed them from FCP to QT Movie as a DV NTSC, which ended up poorly.
- Therefore my question is, should I compress them using another file type (other then DV NTSC)? Which leads me to another program that I have called MPEG Streamclip, which offers tons of file types of which I am unfamiliar with most. I want the best quality of course but don't know what file type is the highest going from AVI to a format that can be accepted by FCP and ultimately DVDSPRO. Keeping in mind that I only have FCP5 and do not have Prores.
Did that make sense?
Thank you again,
Crayton

Urgent help need to compress 4 hrs of footage onto 1 dvd

hi people any one know the settings i will need to compress 4 hours of footage onto a single layer dvd? the footage is of a seminar so not much action but will still need best quality possible have been using compressor 2 and got a complete head ache as lowest settings state i can only fit 174 minutes on a dvd that coupled with the compression times of over 185 hours at times. so im gonna re install compressor 1.2.1 and try again with that
but any help would be greatfully appreciated
cheers

If it was me, I'd be looking at using BitVice to create a half D1 file... pretty much half the file size, and by most people's accounts a better quality than MPEG1. It works by reducing the horizontal resolution - the DVD player re-sizes the footage and there is pretty good reproduction.
Any encoder that can create the encode at 352x576 will be OK, but I know Bitvice will and have used it to do so. Since the file sizes are smaller for the same bitrate, you can fit twice as much footage on. You can easily get 4 hours of Half D1 onto a DVD-R.
Have a look at this graph to get more of a feel for how the different resolutions can work. I don't necessarily agree with all of the info there- the notion of 'fair' quality and 'good' quality being subjective terms and not always applicable to all source types or motion types, etc... but it's a good starting point nonetheless.

Acrobat not optimized for .png ?

Hi everyone.
I need to convert a 750 kb png file (8bit RGB, no transparency) into a .pdf file, which I have to keep as small as possible.
So I open the .png file in Acrobat and save it as a .pdf
I would have expected a resulting ~770-800 kb .pdf,
however it turned out to be an unsatisfactory 1164 kb.
While I do understand that encapsulating a .png file into a .pdf file will inevitably and inherently increase the file size, but the container alone needs about ~20 kb. So there is something else going on here.
From my observations, I get the impression, that the .png file's binary content is not embedded 1:1 into the .pdf file, but interpreted - meaning that the .png content is decoded into a full resolution bitmap image ... which is then recompressed according to the settings in edit > preferences > categories > convert to pdf > png > edit settings > compression > color
I want the conversion to be lossless, so the only possible options here are "ZIP" and "JPEG2000 (quality:lossless)". But both options invariably lead to the same file size mentioned above (~1164 kb).
So my question is:
Is there ANY way to convert a .png file into a .pdf file by simply embedding the .png content, i.e. without decoding the .png into a bitmap image and recompressing it?
Many thanks!
PS: I am on Acrobat Pro 8, and familiar with all the options in PDF optimizer (which were not capable of substantially reducing the .pdf file size without resorting to lossy image compression)
PPS: I can upload a sample file if need be.

Phillip, I thank you and honestly appreciate your help.
But I went out of my way to provide fairly detailed information about the problem, my objective and what I've already tried so far and you hardly take any of that into account, ignoring specifically that I said I'm "familiar with all the options in PDF optimizer (which were not capable of substantially reducing the .pdf file size without resorting to lossy image compression)". I have already maxed out ALL non-image settings for maximum compressibility. As for the image compression, my OP stresses twice that it needs to be lossless, thus not allowing for the DPI reduction you suggested (which besides is in many cases – including mine – a not so good idea because well compressible PNGs, such as non-photographic imagery, may even end up increasing in file size due to the anti-aliasing involved in the DPI reduction).
My objective and my question highlighted above in yellow still stand. Is there no way to preserve the PNG's bitstream when converting to .pdf? Do I really have to settle for a 200%-1400% increase in file size (as shown by the examples above)?? And more generally speaking: Is Acrobat 8 incapable of using PNG compression for images? If no, how is this possible, given that PNGs have been supported by all major Internet Browsers for more than a decade!
Thank you.
PS: Here is the 129kb .png file from posting #2 in case anyone wants to try a .pdf conversion

I installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message.

I successfully installed Adobe Flash Player 11.7.700.169 onto my Macbook Air 2012 (OS 10.7.5) and when I went onto website (Morrision Planetarium-California Academy of Science) it still read that I need update. I've tried 3x and still same message. Is there something I am doing wrong? Quite frustrating!

If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 4.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
2. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
3. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
4. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
5. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
6. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

JAVA for embedded systems: just a myth ?

Hi,
I'm relatively new to JAVA (a year or so), and so far I'm fascinated. I've only developed for PC using J2SE, although I'heard a lot of hipe about J2ME, which I guess is the JAVA for embedded systems (correct me if I'm wrong here).
I worked a lot with microcontrollers, and I think it would be really nice to program them using JAVA. I googled serched for JAVA enabled embedded systems, but I couldn't find anything.
Anyway, this morning I got to this site and find a very interesting article, which I'd like to share with you and hear your opinions about the 5th myth.
The link is: http://www.chipcenter.com/knowledge_centers/embedded/todays_feature/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=10300909
Cheers!!

>... very interesting article, which I'd like to share with
you and hear your opinions about the 5th myth.
Very interesting. I'd always wondered what happened to the Java chips...
Here's a thought, and an associated question, if any of you reading this happen to be up on modern processor architecture...
What about microcode? Back in school (decades ago) I learned a bit about microcode, which was like very simple, low-level instructions that a processor would "execute" to execute each assembly/machine language instruction. The idea was that if you needed to tweak the instruction set of a processor, you could rewrite its microcode. Seems like this would lend itself nicely to implementing a JVM in "hardware"... The question is, do they even use microcode anymore? With the pursuit of speed and optimization, I wonder if they didn't abandon it and go with highly specialized/optimized circuits instead...
Back to the original question -- it would be somewhat ironic if Java weren't available for embedding systems. The original target system was set-top boxes, etc. I've tried a few JVMs on my Palm -- they're getting there!

Install Java SE for embedded

Hello,
I am trying to install Java SE for Embedded 7 ARM v6/7 Linux Headless on my Pogoplug ARM v6 running Linux Arch.
For this I downloaded the .tar.gz file from Oracle's website ( version=7u4-armv6-eabi-k2.6.28-libc2.9-hflt-le), applied the tar command to decompress, moved the result to /opt/java, adapted the enironment variables by editing the /etc/profile file as follows:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/java/bin"
export PATH
export JAVA_HOME="/opt/java"
export PATH="opt/java/bin:$PATH"
when running an application that needs JAVA, I get:
17015 Illegal instruction java -Declipse.ignoreApp=true -Dosgi.noShutdown=true -Djetty.port=8080 -Djetty.port.ssl=8443 -Djetty.home=. -Dlogback.configurationFile=logs/logback.xml -Dfelix.fileinstall.dir=addons -Djava.library.path=lib -Djava.security.auth.login.config=./etc/login.conf -Dorg.quartz.properties=./etc/quartz.properties -jar $cp $* -console
I assume Java is not installed correctly (it is the first time I install manually)?

I see the same error for my ARM9 from Atmel. I think it's because my ARM9 AT91SAM9263 processor is ARMv5TEJ and ejre1.6.0 require ARMv6 or above. Don't mix up ARM9 and ARMv6. It's different thing.

HTML code for embedding QT file

Hey QuickTimeKirk, I liked yr last answer and liked yr new proposal even better. So can you tell me the HTML code for embedding a looping .mov file on a website?

Here's a link that describes the html tags for QuickTime files:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011
Here's a link that shows a more modern method required by IE on a PC:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
The tag for looping is simply loop="true" (embed tag) and param name="loop" value="true" for the object tag.
