Compression to FLV for Banner Ad

Looking for some compression feedback, as I cannot get the results dialed in thru Adobe Media Encoder CS4.
Creating a flash banner ad, 11 seconds total, with 5 seconds of video from final cut. The size of the exported .mov is 784 KB, and I still have to hit a target of less than 60KB (yikes) on the final FLV export. Anyone had any luck here in these type of productions? When I convert to FLV (heavily compressed) and import into timeline of flash as embedded file, keeps increasing in size, hovering just below the 1MB mark. Your input is appreciated.
BTW- when you export "for web" from quicktime, could the "small" size it creates really be 4KB??

Thanks, trying there now as well..
But to keep it Apple specific, can anyone shed light on the "export for web settings" thru quicktime pro? The smallest version it creates comes in at 4KB, could this be possible? This is what I am then hoping to convert to FLV.

Can't convert MP4 to .fLV for flash using encoder CC 2014

Hi
Seriously adobe, I wish I never upgraded to CC, it's been a nightmare.
I need to convert an MP4 to an .flv for flash pro CC. Encoder CC no longer supports this, which is UNBELIEVABLE....
I use a third party vendor for video in flash banner advertising and it only supports .flv files.
Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?

The previous version of Adobe Media Encoder or After Effects, which you can have installed alongside the current version:

What is better sky fire or flv for gaming sites

You cannot play flash games on the iPad.
Skyfire only plays back video from some sites.
Any browsers claiming to play flash do so by sending the video to their computer, transcoding it to mp4, then stream it to you.

Compressing an Attachment for E-mail (??)

New Duo2Core; OS 10.4.8.
I use Entourage (Office 2004). On my G4's and 5's there is an option to compress an attchment. That is greyed out on the Entourage on my Intel Mac. I notice that Stuffit is not included with the OS on the Intel system. Is it safe to downlod and install? Will that allow me to compress an attachment for sending with Entourage?
Also, what is the best tool/app to compress a file so I can get it to e-mail as an attachment and not exced the allowable account limit - Stuffit or something else (I want both Mac and Windows users (family out of town all over the States) to be able to open lage attachments) ? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Happy New Year!

Stuffit isn't necessary. Select the file you want to compress and CTRL-click or Right-Click (if you have two button mouse) and select the "Create Archive ..." option from the contextual menu. This will create a fully compatible .zip file that can be sent as an attachment. If you want to be sure your attachments will be Windows friendly, then use that option in Entourage (don't remember exactly where it's set.)

I need to save some pictures from iPhoto to a SDHC photo card for a digital frame and was wondering if there is a way to shrink or compress file size for each picture as I have already cropped the pictures? Thank you

Yes, you do this when you export the images from the Library.
File -> Export
in the Size section, you don't need images larger than the frame size, so you can specify that and in the Jpeg Quality you can select the amount of compression used.

Conversion to FLV for Higher Education

Hello everyone, this question is also posted in the Adobe Video forum.
The headline for this could be: "College educator needs a tool for converting batches of digital video files to FLV for use in Adobe Presenter or other streaming solutions."
The college educator is me, or more precisely, an instructional designer who tries to find solutions to technological problems. My specialty is video development and deployment (Premiere Pro; Premiere Elements; Adobe Connect Pro and Presenter; Flash Media Server v. 2.*, Flash CS3, etc.).
Description of the problem: The utilization of video by college professors is exploding at my venue: the University of St. Francis, a prominent online learning provider in Illinois and the Midwest. The explosion is significantly due to the advent of "tapeless" video, via Sony Handycams, Aiptek camcorders, and others. But the current state of the "prosumer" industry is that of a grotesquely uneven playing field of different codecs, and the inability of some computers to handle different formats (e.g. MPG2, MOD, ASF, MOV, VOB-- many of which are different flavors of each other). Using digital video versus mini-DV tape is advantageous because of the miniscule time it takes to download a video file to a workstation. I can take an hour of digital video and import it into the computer in a matter of minutes, on a bread-and-butter Windows XP machine.
These imported video files (for discussion, I'll refer to these as MPG2), are fine for local use on the machine. An instructor brings a student over to watch an MPG2 of his speech to class for critique purposes. But for deployment-- to the web, to email, or to just the student's thumb drive-- the files are way too big. Conversion to a more manageable format: WMV or FLV is required. FLV is preferred because of the ease with which in can be imported into a Powerpoint/Adobe Presentation (USF is a heavy user of Adobe Presenter).
Adobe offers many solutions free of charge. The Adobe Media Player is one example. What is needed is a tool for instructors to batch convert video files of many different and competing formats to FLV. Currently, having trialed several freewares, the closest approximation to the ideal converter in my own opinion is "Prism" downloadable from TUCOWS and other sites. But like many freewares, "Prism" is sometimes a gateway, during installation, to other exotic softwares that the user does not need.
Adobe Flash comes packed with a wonderful tool-- the media encoder-- which allows batch processing of files to FLV. But you apparently cannot get this encoder without purchasing Flash. It's a wonderful software, but it's ease of use and expense is well beyond the reach of the average faculty member. Video-- itself-- is within the reach of the faculty member due to the proliferation of cheap camcorders and the availability of video editing programs that come bundled with the machine (e.g. Windows Movie Maker).
But the batch conversion solution is needed to take full advantage of the promise of digital video.
My question and suggestion: Can Adobe make its Flash Media Encoder available as a standalone freeware? Can it be versatile enough to handle many different kinds of codecs, or be able to integrate new codecs (different flavors of MPG2 for instance)?
I will probably post this question in a Flash forum as well as I think this issue crosses over.
Many thanks,
Glen Gummess

Adding new divs for banner ad placement

Hello,
I am attempting to add new divs for banner ads to the left and right of the page inside my container and can't figure out how to position them. I have modified a screen shot below to show where I want them (they are just layers I created in photoshop). I didn't create the page and am lost. Is it a matter of 'splitting' the current divs in the doc?
I added padding to create space to the left but I don't think that was the way to go...
Thanks a ton for help on this one!

Is this a template that you purchased... you didn't do the actual layout yourself?
There are a ton of nested <div>s in there used for some background images.... I really have no idea why so many! I would have used maybe a couple of background images and called it good. Anyway, now you'll have to work around all those nested <div>s.
The area on the left is because of the 150 px of padding in <div class="aside">.
To make that space available, you'll need to remove that padding, and use two floated elements instead of just the one element that's there now.
I'd suggest that you review how the CSS box model works, along with how to "float" an element. Then you'll be able to align two or more container <div>s side by side.
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_float.asp
You may have a better learning experience if you start very simple... on a new, blank Web page, work in code view and place 4 <div>s, use the first <div> to wrap around and contain the other 3. Then place those 3 side by side. Give each a width, height, and a different background color so you can see where and how they align when floated. Play around with it a little until you understand how floats work.... then tackle your actual Web page.
Best wishes,

Compressing redo data for Physical Standby

Hi All,
I have been checking option of compressing redo data for a Physical Standby database. I did not find many details in the docs. Any one has implemented this kind of compression.
Cheers/Aditya

per Oracle support, redo compression in DG makes sense only if the bandwidth between the primary & standby server is less than 100mbps and is expected to be heavily taxing on CPU.
you may check metalink article ID: 729551.1 where they have given some test stats. Not a whole lot of data, but it might help you make a good judgement.
Cheers.

Compressor 3: Compressing to M2V for a DVD creates a shaky look to my entire video.

This is a Compressor 3 issue I'm trying to compress a M2V for a DVD but it keeps creating a shaky look to my entire video. I have done this multiple times, but what is new to this FCP project is text zooming in, Canon 7D footage, and light rays layered on top of my video and text. I have looked up this issue on creative cow with no luck. I've tried single pass and double pass, still leaves me with shaky footage. I need this project to be done for a client and I can't explain why it isn't working.

Do this in two passes. First resize your video from HD to SD. Then import your SD into compressor. All DVD footage is 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL. You want to create anamorphic SD video to handle the widescreen. One of the easiest ways to debug your DVDs is to rip them back before burning them to disk. In DVD Studio Pro use the format option instead of burn. This will create a VIDEO_TS folder on your hard drive which you can then read using software. Rip the video back from the DVD with DVDxDV or another professional DVD ripper that can output video in Quicktime ProRes. Import your video into Final Cut Pro, and play it back. When you get the encoding right, go ahead and burn the DVD in DVD SP.

From AVI to FLV for Flash MX Professional 2004

Hi there...
Let me thank you for your attention...
This is my issue, I had this Flash MX 2004 Professional when I bought my PC, since then , 6 years ago, I learned how to use it, and recently got a little proyect which turned out to be something very professional, I developed some SWF files at 30fps and recorded them using Camtasia Studio at 40fps, then I created an AVI video file of 400MB +-, I want that those AVIs inside an SWF with my own VIDEO PLAYER, the one me myself developed, play, paused buttons, progressBar, time, etc. Problem is, these AVI files are much too big, I think, for my Flash MX 2004 Professional, they last 1hour 30min. I cannot upgrade to a modern version of Flash ever since, I have no time to do it, the proyect is already somehow delayed, and almost everything is already done in Flash MX 2004 Professional, I have no ways to convert my AVI files into FLA files, or how place those 1hour-30min AVI files in my SWF, ever since I need those videos besides some other SWF files which I will use to lounch a product will must run just as it it were a DVD, it has its own menu, from the user may select the video they want to see, when they select one, a new window must pop-up with my video and my controlers in it.
Would you recommend me some programs that may convert my heavy AVI files into more readable FLA files, my Flash MX 2004 Professional does not do it properly... I have no idea why...
Please I appreciate your advice ever since I just learned everything as I developed my SWF and other files.
Thanks for your attention

check out the source code on this page
http://rodneybauer.com/whiteboard2.htm
im using flv file...not swf file....and using html5....see below for more info on that...
you can use other video / sound assets besides flv
----------------random notes for you to check out------------
mobile device video info
The options actually match those of the most recent iPod Video, which uses H.264 video, up to 1.5Mbps, 640 x 480 pixels, and 30 frames per second with low-complexity AAC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz stereo audio. On the lower end, bandwidths up to 768Kbps, 320 x 240 pixels, and 30 frames per second are also used, known as Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3. Both options can be output with .m4v, .mp4, or .mov extensions.
iTunes. The simplest way is to use iTunes built-in converter. Apple makes it fairly simple to convert videos to play on the Apple TV or iPod, which are also conversions that can be used on the iPhone. Any video that can play in iTunes, then, can be converted to play on the iPhone, and local files can also be synced directly to the iPhone via iTunes sync conduit, making for a fairly easy process. Two downsides: first, iTunes uses a "lowest common denominator" approach, meaning that there are no customized options for encoding into H.264. Also, some users have reported a bug in the most recent version of iTunes that creates video files with no audio, so don’t toss your original video clips until you’ve had a chance to test out the new H.264-compressed video clips.
Handbrake. Handbrake is the next most-popular encoding tool for both Windows and Macintosh platforms, and it’s available in a command-line version for Linux. Handbrake does a lot more than just H.264 conversions, but for purposes of this article, Handbrake would be used to transcode an MPEG-2 transport stream or other non-H.264 formats and codecs into H.264 video files. Speed on the product is quite good, and it has the option of a single-profile conversion (like iTunes) or the ability to customize encoding or profiles and then save the tweaks for future encodings. Handbrake has made a name for itself in DVD-to-iPod conversion, so the extension of Handbrake to the iPhone is one that many users trust.
On any of the last three products, the H.264 files output from these products can be added to the iTunes library for uploading to the iPhone. For those choosing to put their iPhone-compliant videos on the web, it’s also helpful to choose hinted streaming to allow the videos to begin playing immediately rather than waiting for the entire cache to fill.

So, you want in on the fun? Do you want to use some HTML5 video tags on your site right now? No problem. Fasten your seat belts, as we’re about to take a tour of the wonderful world of HTML5 video.
Browser Support for HTML5
First, let’s deal with some very basic stuff, like where this will work and where it won’t. As you can see in the table below, only the latest versions of most browsers support native video playback using HTML5’s <video> tag.
HTML5 <video> support by browser: Fx 3.0     Fx 3.5     IE7     IE8     IE9     Safari 3     Safari 4     Chrome 3+     Opera 10.5
Since Firefox 3.0 and IE 7 & 8 lack any support for HTML5 video, you’ll have to come up with a fallback plan for serving video to those users. Depending on what you want to do you, could fallback first to Quicktime and then, failing that, to Flash. That’s the strategy used in Video for Everyone (note that as of v0.4, Video for everyone no longer falls back to QuickTime).
To keep things simple we’re just going to fall straight from HTML5 to Flash.
Formats, Codecs and Technicalities
The next thing you need to understand is what is actually happening when you load and play a video file in your web browser. You’re probably used to thinking of video as .mp4 or .mov files, but unfortunately it’s not that simple. The actual file formats are just containers. Think of them as a bit like a .zip file — they hold other stuff inside.
Each container holds at minimum one video track and, most likely, one audio track. When you watch a movie online, your video player (most likely Flash) decodes both the audio and video and sends the information to your screen and speakers.
Why does this matter? Well, because the process of decoding what’s inside the video container file varies. To know how to decode a movie, the player (which is your web browser in the case of HTML5 video) has to know which codec the movie was encoded with.
When it comes to web video there are two codecs to worry about: H.264 and Theora.
There’s a huge debate right now among web developers, browser makers and just about everyone else as to which codec is right for the web. We believe that a free, open codec without patent and licensing restrictions is the best solution for the web. Sadly, neither codec exactly fulfills that dream, so for now, let’s just skip the whole argument and be practical — we’re going to use both codecs.
Why? Well, have a look at the table below, which shows which codecs work where and you’ll quickly see that there is no one-size-fits-all-browsers solution. Only Google Chrome can play both H.264 and Theora.
Codec support by browser/platform:     Firefox     Opera     Chrome     Safari     IE 9     iPhone     Android
Ogg Theora
H.264
So, you may be thinking … if HTML5 video doesn’t work in IE7 or IE8 and it means I’m going to have to encode my videos twice, then why bother at all? Well, the best answer is simple: mobile users. If you want iPhone and Android users to be able to see your video, HTML5 is the only way to do it — Flash support is coming to Android sooner or later but for now HTML5 is the only option, and we all know Flash doesn’t run on the iPhone or the iPad.
The HTML5 Code
Here’s how to actually embed your videos. First, we encode video in both .ogv and .mp4 containers. Encoding video is beyond the scope of this article, so instead we suggest you check out Mark Pilgrim’s online book Dive Into HTML5, which has a whole chapter devoted to understanding video encoding. Pilgrim’s encoding suggestions use free software to get the job done, and in the end you’ll have two files — one .mp4 and one .ogv.
Now it’s time to unleash those movies in pure HTML glory. Here’s the code:
view source
print?
1    <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2      <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3    <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4    </video>
Yes, that’s it. What we’ve done here is use the <video> tag to specify the dimensions of our video, and to denote that we want to use the browser’s default controls. Then, within the video tag, we’ve added two <source> elements which link to our video files.
The “type” attribute of the <source> tag helps the browser understand which file it should load. It’s a bit of an ugly chunk of code that needs to specify the container format, the video codec and the audio codec.
In this case we’ve assumed standard .ogv and baseline encoded H.264 video as per Pilgrim’s tutorial. See the WHATWG wiki for more information on which video types you can specify.
And there you have it — native web video, no plugins required.
Dealing With Everyone Else
What about IE7, IE8 and older versions of just about any other browser? Well, for those users, we’ll fall back on Flash. To do that, we just use an <embed> tag within our video tag:
view source
print?
1    <video width="560" height="340" controls>
2      <source src="path/to/myvideo.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'>
3    <source src="path/to/myvideo.ogv" type='video/ogg; codecs="theora, vorbis"'>
4      <object width="640" height="384" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
5            data="path/to/swf/player.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=path/to/myvideo.mp4">
6            <param name="movie" value="path/to/swf/player.swf?image=placeholder.jpg&file=path/to/myvideo.mp4" />
7        </object>
8    </video>
Now any browser that doesn’t understand the HTML5 video tag will just continue on its way until it hits the object tag, which it should understand (note that the order, mp4 before ogv, is important for iPad support — Apple requires that mp4 be the first video file).
Of course for this to work you need a Flash video container. JW Player is one popular example, or you can roll your own using Adobe’s tools. Also remember that we still haven’t handled the case of an older version of Firefox with no Flash plugin installed (maybe your users are surfing your tubes with an outdated Linux machine). You can always add good old text-based links to the video files as a catch-all fix for anyone who can’t, for whatever reason, see either the HTML5 or Flash versions.
Conclusion
Embedding HTML5 video isn’t significantly more difficult than using Flash, especially if you’ve been using H.264 video files in your Flash player — which is exactly what YouTube has done with its HTML5 beta.
While we’re concerned about the licensing and patent requirements of H.264, it isn’t hard to notice that if you skip Theora and make all non-H.264 fall back to Flash, you’ve still saved yourself a considerable encoding headache. In fact, that’s probably the best practical argument against Mozilla and Opera’s refusal to support H.264.
If you’d like to use some of the more advanced aspects of HTML5 video, be sure to check the SublimeVideo player, which offers very nice JavaScript-powered set of custom controls. Also be sure to have a look at Video for Everybody, which makes for more complex code but handles just about every use case you could imagine. And there’s a handy Video for Everybody WordPress plugin as well.

A way around FLV for a Flash-centric website?

I am finally preparing to enter the new millennium, and get myself a website. I guess I'm getting one of them pretty flash sites, but I'm concerned about the quality of FLV video (and that seems to be what my web designer wants to use).
Is there a way around this that I could recommend to the designer? I'm assuming she is not a video expert (****, I certainly am not either), and that we can find a better solution.
Or am I just plain wrong, and FLV will look fine?
I'm probably going to have around 6 clips on the site, at around :30-1:00 in duration, I don't know maybe even longer.
I shoot HDV, and I want you to be able to tell.
Thanks!

fatlanglois,
I use both Sorenson Squeeze and QT to convert into FLV files. The main advantage Squeeze has over QT is the ability to adjust the gamma and normalize the audio along with batch rendering capabilities, as opposed to QT on at a time.
As far as skins go if you use Dreamweaver to build your HTML with, they have a nice insert flash video command that gives you a few different options for skins.
As for encoding, the codec you choose along with the bit rate will determine your file size and quality. The On2 vp6 codec looks great but can only be uesd with Flash Player 8 and above but you can get great looking compressions around 2mb per minute. Take a look at the movie trailer site with QT. They use the h264 codec. It looks amazing, showing off HD/film footage but the files are 30mb and higher.
For my company's site I like to use the FLV just for the simple reason that flash in 96% of the browsers used today, QT is somewhere around 65% and the last thing a client wants to do in install new software to watch a video.
Good luck and let us know how it turned out for you.

What compression to use for HDV video? Is Flash supported?

Hello folks,
I want to produce a HDV videopodcast. My webserver only has 500MB of space available, so I will need to compress this video files. But what videofiles are allowed in iTunes? The most ideal would be to convert my .mov files into Flash .flv files. But is Flash supperted in iTunes? Or what other options I have to end up with a maximum of 40 MB of video? (the original file is about 1GB)
Thank you so much for any input or advise.
Cheers

iTunes and QuickTime do not use Flash. If you want to create something in HD, your file size will likely be much larger. More on recommended podcast video formats for iTunes, Apple TV, and iPods:

Clickable FLV/SWF Banner Ad

Hi,
I am having some difficulty creating a SWF file that had a FLV embedded that is completely clickable at any point during the video.
Created a new Flash document and imported the video, using the "Progressive download" option. I have tried everything from adding layers with click instances (http://forums.adobe.com/message/256259#256259) to making a button the size of the video that is set at 0% alpha.
Every time I either get the video playing that is not clickable or i get the flv icon flashing (no video) that is clickable, or I get the flv icon flashing and it is not clickable at all.
I am using CS3 and just looking for a video banner ad.

Marcia913,
Sorry, I forgot to include another suggestion.
Flash video (.flv) is also a very popular format that plays in the majority of browsers (Mac & PC compatible).
Many forum members upload there video(s) to YouTube/Google video(and similar sites), These sites automactically convert your video to Flash video.
After the video has been converted and posted to the site you can embed a link (URL & Embed links are provided by YouTube/Google video etc.)to your web page and have it play from there (inside your web page). You can even restrict who's allowed to view your video(s) public vs. private.
An additional bonus is that you're not using any of the alloted space provided by your service provider for your website.
