Conversion of video files into flash files

Hello friends..
Can anyone tell me what to do to convert any video files(with the exception of .dat) into flash files (say .flv) in JSP?
Can anyone send me a sample code??
Please guide me.
Thank you

hang on, I'll just dig out my ancient copy of
ConvertAnyContentTypeToAnyOtherContentType4j...^_^ LOL!!!
Thanks... I needed that!Lage Raho Pyaare...
Carry on...
But do find some solution to the problem.... and not
problem to the solution..
Good wishes againok, look, what I'm saying - in a roundabout way - is that converting video to flash isn't as simple as just doing a few API calls in java. why you want to do it in java at all is beyond me, to be honest. your best bet is to approach the problem another way, from the flash angle. do some googling, get a copy of adobe flash, and see how to convert from video to flash, using an application, before worrying about doing it in code. and I could be wrong here, but you won't "convert" a video to flash, you'll embed the video as an object inside a flash movie
but where java comes into the equation is anybody's guess. if you're hoping to do this on-the-fly in a JSP, as I suspect you are, forget it

Conversion of video files - Usage of Quick Time Pro

Hello everybody. I hope somebody can help me.
I bought the QuickTime Pro 7.3.1 together with my iTouch. QuickTime can't play my videos: sometimes a message error appears saying "QuickTime ressourcendatei does not reply", sometimes it prompts me to install an additional codec (xvid etc..). even if I install a codec successfully I still can't open the videos.
And since I can't open the videos I cannot convert them for the iTouch.
Thanks in advance for support!

Another suggestion here-download the necessary codecs.
If you do not have them, how can your system read the video files that uses them?
You do not specify your os-so Here is the most useful plugin on OS X:
Perian(does divx,xvid, ac3, etc.) http://perian.org/
Divx(OS X or windows) http://www.divx.com/

Conversion of video files to insert into Captivate (4)

Hi All - I have recently got hold of Captivate 4 to create eLearning modules for contact centre agents to work through (in various subjects) part of this involved me inserting videos (of various things like business presentations and use of our complicated telephony)
For this purpose I purchased a Flip Digital Camera ( http://www.theflip.com/products_flip_ultra.shtml#scene=sceneMain ) as it was simple to use, cheap and fufilled the requirements I had.
However the files from the camera do not encode properly to allow me to insert them into my Captivate projects. They save as .avi files and to insert them they need to be (correct me if i am wrong!) .flv files. my question therefore is,
Is there a way around this? and if not - What can I use to re-encode them into the required file extension for insertion?
any advice would be gladly recieved!
thx - si

Hi there
Sounds like you need an AVI to FLV converter software. I have Flash and struggle with it. But if you have Flash you probably have the ability to convert in Flash. If you don't have Flash, perhaps use Google to locate a suitable package. Some are free and some you have to buy.

Most efficient video file format

Hi - I have been trying to use FMLE to stream video files to Ustream. I am using several virtual camera programs at the moment like ManyCam, Fake Webcam (does not work with FMLE apparently), etc. If I understand correctly what is happening - the virtual cam software is decoding the video files (flv, xvid, mp4, etc.) into raw video such as comes from a webcam. I assume FMLE is then recoding that raw video back into Flash flv or vp6?
The process is proving to be very CPU intensive. And it seems pointless to undo a FLV file just to have FMLE turn around and rebuild it back to FLV. I am assuming here since I am not certain what FMLE is doing exactly.
Is there a "best" video file format to start with in this process? Or better yet, can I do ahead of time to my video files what FMLE is doing to them so I can send them up to Ustream's servers ready to go and avoid the performance hit with all the real time processing the virtual cam software and FMLE are doing? Thanks for any insight on this!

You can play the file directly from FMS as VOD. Also you can write your own action script publisher which can take input from any device and can stream to FMS but Flash player does not support many functionality like FMLE. It can stream VP6 video only.

Maintaining original video size when importing into Flash

Hi All,
We've imported a number of videos for a client in order to
stream them via Flash. The problem we are experiencing though is
that flash seems to stretch the video height. For example, here is
the video on Youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7EWMzIXQg8
which is fine
and here is the video imported into flash:
http://www.geofframm.com/movie/frommetoyou.html
We've tried adjusting the height/width settings, but to no
avail.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Best wishes

I am using captivate 3 and I get an error whenever I try to
export to flash cs3. unknown error.
why the hell doesnt Adobe say that flash is required to
export to flash BEFORE I buy the software? I am using my pc for
captivate, but am primarily mac based and was going to edit in
flash on my mac. but captivate didnt allow for me to export to
flash at all without any kind of flash installed. I installed a
demo version of flash, but the export is coming up with an error.
any ideas out there? adobe??? I'm currently using vista OS.
thanks in advance. r

Viewing video imported in Flash

I'm looking at a .mov video imported into Flash as a movie
clip. When I
open the movie clip, there is only one keyframe on the
timeline, the
first one, though I can scrub with the playhead through the
other
frames, even through they do not show. The rest of the
timeline seems to
be empty. Is this the way it is supposed to be?
Thanks

Thanks doghouseJim, tried AVI & MP$ still no improvement. Sometime is
happening in the conversion process from the iMovie file to flash
format.

Using a video stream (NOT streaming a video clip) in Flash?

Hello,
I need to get a RTSP video stream into Flash but I can't
figure out if it is possible to do. Also, the stream is encoded
using H.264 for video and AAC for audio. Any suggestions on how to
make this fly is more than welcome.
Best regards from a sunny Stockholm - spring is finally here!

Just check it with the .flv files. If it works fine for them
then your code is fine and you have to search for your format or convert it in flv my any means.

Flash SWF with Video file will not play in web page

Hello Flash group,
I have created a flash video file from a *.wmv file.
myvideo.flv.
I have used flash to build an swf file that plays the video
(with a default skin).
I have then imported the media file into an html page using
Dreamweaver. I did not import the flv file, but the swf file with
the "video" in it.
The page plays find on my development server (where
Flash,Dreamweaver, etc is installed).
When I moved the html page, the flv file, the swf file and
the skin to my production webserver (linux and apache)
the flash files do not show up on the web page. The dev
server is a windows XP running apache 2.2)
Any ideas on what I need to do???
thanks,
eholz1

It may cause by any of the reason below:
- You have uploaded the flv file to the wrong directory
- Your flv file path/name is incorrect. check all case
sensitive etc.
- Your web server doesn't support FLV MIME type.

How do you embed/inject xmp metadata into a mpeg 2 video file?

Im looking to add keywords and descriptions to original file (raw MPEG-2) and have the metadata stick when i go to the transcoding process and batch convert the orginal file to either a wmv and flash file. how can i achive this? what tools are available ? and or is this a custom job? any info and or programmers looking to test this im open to all the help i can get.

Yeah I kind of figured that. I've been trying various ways of trying to batch inject metadata into video files and thought I would start with the master file but because of the limitations the raw digitized mpg 2 video file has. In that case I have yet to find a transcoding program that will batch out various formats and read a xmp side car file to inject the metadata into the outputted file (does anyone know if Adobe media encoder 4 can accomplish this where a xmp sidecar file is created then transcoding into a wmv and or flash file , curious if the metadata will stick and be read in the outputted file) In anycase I may have find an alternative way and use my current Rhozet carbon coder transcoder program to try to inject an xml file during the batch transcoding process. If anyone has successfully accomplished this with injecting xmp metadata in a batch transcoding program please let me know. I've been exhausted searching for the solution this problem for a long time and I don’t want to wait till a mpeg 7 solution comes out.

Importing existing flash video files??

howdy
quick question. if you import existing flash video files into an encore project, will this help reduce the final render time? or will encore rerender the existing flash video files?
cheers

Encore CS3 won't import FLV files. You must render the project to Flash.
You may want to file a feature request at Adobe's support page asking for support for Flash-ready assets, to eliminate the need to transcode in Encore.

Help Exporting Embedded Video Files From Flash

I am new to Flash and this may sound, well dumb but here it goes. I have taken some video files from Final Cut Pro converted them to FLV's imported them and embedded them into flash to create some banners for the web. I need to know what settings I should use to get these out of Flash for the web.
Also I need to send them to someone to look at before publishing. What would be the best format to do that in and how to do it.
Also has anyone has any experience creating banners in or online ads in a Video format like FCP and embedding them into a flash file to export them in flash for we publishing. Sorry again for the dumb question, just new to Flash.

Is there a reason why you embedded the video in Flash rather than using the FLV player?
Starting with the video, since you have the source you can create any type of format you need from that which can be used for preview or the final version depending on where it's going to end up and what is required or preferred. Flash comes into play if the requirement is to have a SWF/FLV other than some other video format, or if you have other Flash content going on at the same time besides the video.
But using Flash for this, the most stratghtforward way is to use the FLV player included with Flash (or another 3rd party player) and point it to your FLV.

How to upload single heavy video file by flash AS2.0

How can I upload single heavy video file by AS2.0 with php backend?
I have video file of 200 GB but flash officially supports 100MB.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/net/FileReference.html
Then how this can be achieved?

As far as I know edge is always going to create that whole set of files. that's just the way it works. You had said that your problem stemmed from the fact that you had a lot of these animations or what you called "flashcards" and you didn't want to have to upload a whole set of project files for each card. right?? My suggestion was just a way to package all your "flashcard" animations into a single edge project so you only have to upload a single set of files for all your "flashcards" . that said, not knowing what your application is or the way the user interacts with the cards this approach might not work for you at all. But I don't think there is a single file (like a swf) solution for edge projects.

Need advice on making a simple Flash video file. Trying to accomplish two things.

I have some video files (.avi) that I am trying to convert to a Flash video format. I am trying to export it to a Flash player to go into a Powerpoint file. With this, I am trying to accomplish two goals:
1. To have the short clip (15sec, 30fps) endlessly loop, like an animated .gif.
2. To allow the user to click on the video player and drag left/right to ff/rew.
The video itself is a turntable animation. One of our products is making a complete 360degree turn. By allowing the user to grab and drag, it will simulate them rotating the model.
So far, I have already accomplished Goal 1. I made a new Actionscript 3 file, imported video (embed flv in swf and play in timeline), and then made the video loop on the timeline. This seems to export properly, and the video loops as needed. The only thing I can't figure out is how to make the video "interactive" and let the user drag left/right.
For context, I have never used Flash before. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This will come down to essentially moving the playhead of Flash based on the movement of the mouse. It's certainly not going to be smooth however, you'd need a timer to be responsible for moving your playhead and reversing spatial compression is very CPU intensive (moving backwards on the timeline). I'd recommend having a forward and backward version of the video so you could flip between them but if you're new to flash you're already in way above your head.
Add a new layer and try adding this example script (or Download Source example here, saved to CS5):
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
// make sure we don't trip this frame twice
if (!stage.hasEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN))
          // stop playhead
          stop();
          // set state (forwards? backwards?)
          var movingForward:Boolean = true;
          var curFrame:int = 1;
          var mouseStartX:int; // used later to determine drag
          // detect mouse click and drag left or right
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, onMouseF);
          stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, onMouseF);
          // create new timer to control playhead, start it
          var phTimer:Timer = new Timer(33,0);
          phTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, movePlayheadF);
          phTimer.start();
          // function to control playhead
          function movePlayheadF(e:TimerEvent):void
                    curFrame += movingForward ? 1 : -1;
                    // validate frame (60 total frames)
                    if (curFrame > this.totalFrames) curFrame = 2;
                    else if (curFrame < 1) curFrame = this.totalFrames;
                    // goto the next frame
                    this.gotoAndStop(curFrame);
          // function that controls the direction variable
          function onMouseF(e:MouseEvent):void
                    if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN)
                              // user started touching, record start spot
                              mouseStartX = int(stage.mouseX);
                    else if (e.type == MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP)
                              // user let mouse go, determine direction change (swipe stype)
                              if (stage.mouseX > mouseStartX)
                                        // swiped right, move forwards
                                        movingForward = true;
                                        trace('Moving forward now');
                              else if (stage.mouseX < mouseStartX)
                                        // swiped left, move backwards
                                        movingForward = false;
                                        trace('Moving backwards now');
This is pretty simple. In the example source link above an object on the timeline (nice ugly red circle) moves right over 60 frames and then left over 60 frames (120 total). Consider that your movie.
A timer ticks at a speed of 33ms (30fps). This is where it isn't necessarily going to be too smooth with video. If you increase it to 60FPS then decrease the timer by half (16.5ms), season to taste. Each time the timer goes off the playhead is moved, either forwards or backwards.
To know if it should go forward or backwards a simple variable (movingForward) keeps track of the last 'swipe'. The swipe is simply captured when a user touches the screen (mouse/finger), moves in a direction and then lets up. If they moved to the left the direction will be reverse. If they moved to the right it will move forward. This doesn't take into consideration any more than that logic, but illustrates how you can watch the mouse for movement and "do something" based on it.
A very simple validatior in the timer event function checks to see if the next frame (in either direction) is valid and if it's not, it corrects it so it stays within your videos timeline length.
Note there is a MOUSE_MOVE event you can try to hook to which can be used to literally let the user drag the video forwards and backwards the amount they drag their finger/cursor. Also if this is some kind of circular surface like a record spinning, the direction the user moves the mouse based on where they touch the record would change which direction they expect it to move. Etc etc..
That should get your feet wet in how much you need to consider for your project.

Need help converting quicktime movies into Flash files

I need to convert a QT, PhotoJPEG compressed, movie file into a .flv format. I have AE 6.5 Standard and it keeps quitting on exporting a SWV file which would could probably get me by with my client. But, again, it errors out saying something like a JPG is busy, or a file is busy.
I have FlipforMac,a purchased version. But I'm not sure if converting it into a .wmv and then a Flash file is the best route or is even possible.
Any suggestions or ideas of software that I could purchase??
~reicko

i don't think you have read up on the use of flash video
(FLV). there's nothing you need that you do
not already have (except maybe quicktime pro or some other
video editing program). the FLV exporter
comes FREE with flash 8. You should be able to open your
quicktime movie in QT PRO and export to FLV
format - then use any of the flash playback components for
FLV files - best bet is to read the help
docs on this subject and go to the devnet section of
adobe.com where there are several in-depth
articles about implementing flash video into your site.

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6?

What is THE best video file format to import into Premiere Pro CS6? I am tired of the guess work of "this might work if you do this." Just tell me which is, flat out, the easiest for Premiere to read?? I generally animate in Adobe Flash, and some times with a Live camera. Premiere seems to pick and choose which video file it wants. I import from the File drop down box in the upper left hand corner, then move the video file to timeline. Under the "scrubber" there is a thin red, (or when rendered) a green line. The videos I put in the timeline show a thin yellow line which means Premiere is confused. So, in basic terms, which video format is MOST commonly accepted with the least amount of trouble/hassle?

Premiere has a function now where you can import a clip and drag onto a timeline and it will prompt you with a message about changing the timeline settings to match your clip, (or if there is no timeline it will automatically create one that matches your clip.) This is in CC of course so you might consider upgrading. They have fixed a lot of compatibility issues from CS6 to now. If you don't want to get all of CC for 60/month then you can at least shell out 20/month on premiere. It's worth it. They've made it where you don't have to worry about 99% of all video formats. They just work.
