Is There No FLV/Flash Player or Converter for 10.3.9 under Quicktime 7.5?

Greetings:
Is There No Working FLV/Flash Player or Converter for 10.3.9 under Quicktime 7.5?
QT 7.5 plum doesn't play flash at all, Flip4Mac or Perian or no. VLC and Streamclip have no video, and I tried the latest iSquint to convert and ended up with blank video that the helper patcher couldn't fix (at least under Panther). I'd try SWF & FLV Player if there was one that worked under Panther but despite the 10.3.9 labels on download sites they're all Tiger only. The only FLV player I found is "Wimpy" but it's very awkward and works only with dragged files.
I heard there was some trouble with QT 7.5 regarding videos and some go back to 7.4, but I REALLY don't want to go the install and archive route!
Any savior would be most appreciated!
Thanks

Using 10.3.9/10.4.9 partitions on 900mHz G3 iBook.

Thanks lots for your assist!
I'll test that out once I get home to my G3 iBook, but in a nutshell I guess I'm asking is can Quicktime directly read FLV files under G3 10.3.9 like Quicktime (with Perian) does under 10.4.11 without any go-betweens? Is there a "Perian" type add-on for QT under !0.3.9 to play FLVs by? It seems that so many folks have left Panther that no one's ever ran into this issue!

It takes 11 hours to convert to flv format from Quicktime

I edited a DV movie from camera using FCP and one hour final movie after adding all animations and effects in .mov format which was about 12 GB takes about 11 hours to be converted to flv format is this usual or I need to do some thing.
My system configuration is
Power PC G5
3500 MB RAM
1.1 TB hard disk.
I used Marcromedia Flash Encoder
OS Mac OS X 10.5.8
is there some thing that can be done to shorten the time as the compressor of FCP wont submit batch.That is an error I am getting in it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47672?viewlocale=en_US
and any of the solution suggested above does not seems to work.
This post is not about compressor problem I had asked that on another thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2374397&tstart=0
but it says to install an old OS which is not some thing logical I feel to be able to use compressor I wont be downgrading my OS.
What I want to know is to be able to convert to flv from .mov format so much time is it a usual thing or some thing can be done to shorten it.

That's what I meant. You just need a good compression codec.
Can you help to identify or let me know a few codecs I will try.
Is FLV the only resource you streaming server will use?
Yes it has to be flv.The decision is not in my hands it will be a Linux Server so if you are aware of any better file format let me know.I can suggest.
You can use hardware compression systems to go directly to several different >low grade codecs but I've never used them.
I do not have any such hardware but anyways
thanks for this suggestion.

WMV file not converting to FLV Properly

I am trying to use the Flash Video Encoder to convert a WMV
file that a client provided to me into an FLV file. The audio works
fine in the FLV, but the image stays stuck on the first frame
through the whole movie.
This file needs to be uploaded by tomorrow. I've tried
compressing with about 6 different compression settings (both in
Sorenson and the newer On2 VP6 codecs).
I'm about to rip my hair out.
I even downloaded a trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS3
to export it and it's taking an hour to do so. My suspision is that
it wont work in there either.

I would recommend converting the WMV file to an intermediate
format before encoding to the FLV format. In general, advise your
clients to give you a better source video format--WMV is already
compressed, and recompressing it just deteriorates the video
quality. (I'm sure you know that already, but I just had to point
it out.)
In the past, I've used River Past's tools to convert WMV to
an AVI file which I then convert to FLV:

How to Convert a .flv file to a .mov file with audio

I want to convert a .flv file to a file that can be used on Youtube. The .flv file runs fine (audio and video) in the adobe Flash player, but everything I try to conver the .flv file to a usable file on YouTube excludes audio. The audio simply does cot convert.
Suggestion greatly appreciated!!!!

My suggestion is to ask your question in the right place.

How to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor?

I'm trying to convert a .flv file into a Youtube sharing .mov file via Compressor but every time I submit it, it fails due to error code -50. It worked two hours ago (albeit, very slowly) with another .flv file but now it refuses to even try. Please help!

Sorry you're having problems, but it's not surprising. The error code is invalid media.
The easy way is to forget about Compressor and upload the Flash file directly to You Tube with their uploader.
You'll also save a generation of compression loss.
Good luck.

Cannot import WMV files, converting to FLV reduces volume

I've got an MP4 video that I can import into PowerPoint/Presenter just fine, but it fails when I try to import a WMV video.
I've tried using AME to convert to FLV (but don't think I should have to, should I?), but then the volume is not as loud as the original WMV is.
Another related question ... are there any options for the video controller/scrubber that Presenter adds to video? If I insert a video natively in PowerPoint, it adds a much more elegant controller under the video. Presenter puts a big, clunky one on top.

The volume change is most likely due to a setting in AME. I would agree that bringing in a non-flash video in to Presenter is not ideal. This is because the inline video converter is too simple for my taste, but it can do an ok job if in a pinch. I know there are some good free video conversion tools out there, but I have always used (and liked) the AVS video converter.
As to the video controller/scrubber, I'm not sure what you are seeing. With the published version of your presentation, the video should be controlled with the presentation play bar. The only time I see any other play bar is when you do a slide show (F5) preview of the presentation. But this is not representative of the output of Presenter.

Can't convert to flv on intel MacBook

I have Flash Studio 8 and Final Cut Express. I can convert to flv on my old Mac Mini but not on my intel Mac Book. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry, but that page doesn't give any advice other than to check the box "open as Rosetta" in the "get info" window of Quicktime, which I've already confirmed doesn't work, that is, the flv option still doesn't appear in the compression options box in FCE. I'm back to square 1.

Can't convert to FLV format like I used to

I have a QuickTime Pro license and I am up-to-date. I used to be able to convert an avi file to flv format for use in Adobe Flash. Now I get an error saying "Wildform Flix Exporter encountered a problem. This version of Flix Exporter is not licensed to run under the current application." What's up with that? How do I now convert to FLV format? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the primary reason I upgraded to QuickTime Pro in the first place. Plus, I find trying to get to the right place to even ask this question to be extremely time consuming and frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

QuickTime Pro has never exported to Flash video without third party software.
Seems like your "Flix Exporter" ( http://www.on2.com/index.php?316 ) is that third party application.
Contact them for more answers.

Exporting Motion project as FLV (Flash)

Does anyone know the best way to export a project as a FLV (flash)?
If that is not possible I think it should be added with the great things you can do to the online streaming.
What does everyone think?

I figured that would be a way, but I was wondering if it could be done straight from Motion its self. I guess I will bring it straight back to FCP to do it.
I still think having that plug in part of motion is a great way to finish up a project that will be going to the web.

Converting video to Flash with controls

I want to take video from a DVD and turn it into a Flash
movie so I can use
it on a web page. I would like it to have the controls for
playing and
pausing. What would be the easiest way to do this? Is there
certain software
I should be looking for?
Thanks
Debbie

Certain software other than Flash? have you read the help
docs regarding the FLV (Flash Video)
format? There's an entire section of this site dedicated to
how to incorporate Flash video into your
website:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/video.html
Also, go here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
select Flash and then narrow it down to FLV - there are
several video tutorials from Richard Galvan
to watch.
hope this helps.

Download helper converts to .flv instead of .avi

since a few months when downloading a video from the same source, the download helper converts to .flv and no longer to.avi.
what do I need to do to have .avi?
Even if it downloads as .avi, it converts automatically to .flv .
Thank you for help.

The first thing that you need to consider is whether or not
this project
will work well on the web. If you have to make a bunch of
compromises to
get it working on the web, then it may not represent you
well.
That said, you can use FLVs in Director MX 2004 with the
latest updates.
However, you can't stream the FLVs, you have to encapsulate
each one in
an SWF and then use the SWF. So if its the streaming that
you're after,
you may want to use QT instead. You can stream that.
Regardless of the video media that you use, you need to be
sure that you
aren't taking a smooth CD based experience and turning it
into a click
and wait, click and wait, less than elegant web experience.
If you want
to showcase your video capabilities then you may want to
build a web
specific tool. Or, you may want to let site visitors request
a CD to be
mailed to them.
