Converting Video for Web .SWF

I created an imovie to serve as a flash intro on my Go Daddy site. I used the Adobe Media encoder to convert the Quicktime file to an .FLV/.F4V file. I opened it with my Adobe Flash Professional CS4 to export it as an .SWF file .  It works fine on my computer but after an hour on the phone with a Go Daddy rep they discovered it's definitely something wrong with my video's coding. Please let me know if you have had similar problems and I would like to not have to download anymore software to my computer

I said both because I tried just about every option on the Adobe Media Encoder and some were .f4v and some were .flv.  Neither worked. And the website is davidandrewhairsalon.com
It works on my computer every time, but after running all the tests with Go Daddy, they decided that it has to be a problem with MY file, not them-which I question seriously. Also, I've tried uploading it in Firefox and Chrome.  If that helps to know, too.
I appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

  • Getting videos for web viewing right

    Using Xserver on Quad Mac G5 and QTSS. I would like to stream videos like the one in Apples live events. Quite impressive. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/mwsf08/
    Using FCP pro 5.1.4 compressor 2.3 and selecting QT 7 for download. Using this on a web site produces less than desirable results. Usually blurry video or I get the "Q" in the movie template of iWeb and have to wait some time for it to download to start playing.
    What are the tools used to create the high quality videos in these live events?

    I'm tagging this one also.. I'm a new convert to the Mac (one more sleep until Mac Pro deliery!!). I normally do 10 megs for 2 minutes of 640X480 WMV video for web delivery and thought that was good when editing on the PC.. until I started to see some of these tech tutorials also.. and yeah.. crisp! But more importantly, is that thought the 100% viewing size might be on the smaller size, there isn't a lot of visual quality loss when expanding the view to 200% or more.. Now THAT was impressive..
    I want to learn all of this.. =) So much stuff, so little time.. sigh

  • Exporting HD video for web

    What settings should I use to compress a HD video for web?

    It depends a lot on what level of broadband you expect the user to have, and whether the video has to play immediately. There are some natural sizes to use for the video, such as 1280x720, 960x540 or 640x360, and the frame rate ought to be 24, 25, or 30, depending on the source material.
    Making it for medium to good broadband, and with wanting the video to play right away, you could do say 1280x720, 1 megabit per second, H264. It would look reasonably good. If you don't mind people having to download for a little while before the video can play, then take the data rate up to 3 mbps.
    So, one way to look at that would be to use the AppleTV preset from QuickTime Player, then open that mp4 file and save as to mov (just to make your html task easier). It would look very good, but might take a bit of downloading time before it's ready to start playing.

  • Convert video for ipod error

    Recently iTunes has stopped converting videos for me. When I right click and choose 'Convert selection for ipod' I now get "Error occured while converting 'file name'. The required file cannot be found."
    The file uploads into the library and plays great. This has just started happening in the last week or so, before then it worked fine. I am saving the original files as Quicktime MOV files and in the same location as they were being saved before.

    Hi mvlys and all,
    firstly, I assume you mean to suggest changing the preferences under the pull-down menu Edit => Preferences and then activate the Register Card "Advanced" and change the "iTunes Music folder location" to the default at installation.
    I have never changed this and do not allow iTunes to move any media to the default directory, so there is nothing to change on my installation.
    The message displayed in the pop-up says: "The required file cannot be found". This sounds more like iTunes was expecting to find some file belonging to iTunes at some specific location, but cannot. Which file is however not mentioned.
    Is this forum being monitored by Apple?
    Can we expect them to pick up on this error.

  • Converting video for use on Sidekick

    Good evening.
    This might not be the right place to post this, but here goes...
    I have a 24" iMac and would like to convert videos for use on my Sidekick LX 2009. The info on the Sidekick says it will play 3GP or MP4 (simple profile). I been trying to convert using VisualHub and HandBrake but to no luck. Any suggestions on how I can do a conversion, or what settings I need in these programs, or some other program to use?
    Thanks for the help.

    Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

  • Convert mpeg or avi to flash video for Web

    Hello,
    I wanted to know how can you upload a mpeg, avi, or wmw to a
    website and convert it to a flash video file? What software is
    involved? What is the easiest method for doing this? Is there a tut
    out there or a book that details this method?
    Thanks,

    hi, for your situation, you would expect a video converter software, to convert avi or mpeg to flash video (.flv) for web. You probably know that there are plenty of free video converter out online. like Sothink Free Video Converter which I used for while, and I am sure it supports FLV video conversion. you could have a try.

  • SD 16:9 video for web? How to have widescreen SD video but not in DV format

    I make videos that are intended for web using final cut express. But, my camera shoots in standard definition, and in wide screen. I try the anamorphic codecs, but here is the problem....I don't want to edit in the DV format!!! So, every time i try to render something (like text), it becomes distorted and low-quality because it renders to DV. I assume i'm supposed to use the HD codecs but as i said before, my camera isn't HD. So, what do i do? is there an extension or something i can add on? I really appreciate the help. (my camera is a canon FS200 that shoots to flash memory)

    I just Googled the specs and it appears this camera shoots SD Mpeg2 at a low data rate.
    I'm surprised it's working at all.
    Try a test clip using Streamclip>Export to Quicktime to convert the footage to the specs of an an FCE Easy Setup. It might as well be an Anamorphic DV choice.
    The converted clip with titles should hold up OK normally.

  • No Audio When Converting Videos For iPod

    whenever i convert video files for my ipod they do not have audio. i have tried several programs, and none work. i have read other discussions about this, and found that MPEG Streamclip worked for other people, however whenever i try to convert using this program, it says "Error: Can't Prepare The Movie" Can anyone tell my why i can't convert these videos? i cannot figure it out. thanks alot.

    I am not sure what you mean when you ask what the "compression formats" are.The compression formet refers the manner in which the media was encoded and, by extension, how the media must be decoded. I.e., it determines which codec (encoder/decoder or compressor/decompressor) is to be used with the media file.
    If you can tell me where to find those i could tell you what they are. I can, however, play the video in itunes, quicktime, and MPEG Streamclip.Simnce the files are playable in QT, the most common place to look for codec information is in the "Show Movie Info" window following the "Format:" entry. E.g., it might say:
    Format: MPEG2 muxed, 640 x 480orFormat: Apple MPEG4 Decompressor, 320 x 240, millions
    AAC, Stereo, 48,000 kHz
    i also am not sure if there is audio in the source file.Do you hear any audio when the original file is played? If not and there is no audio track (or "muxed") information, then there may not be any sound for you to convert in the first place.
    how do i find out if it is muxed?If it is "muxed," the format entry we say so. In this case blocks of audio data and blockes of video data are interspersed in a single data stream (track). This is the normal way MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 audio/video data is synchronized. In addition, these formats commonly lose their audio content when converted using QT Pro, iTunes, iMovie, FCE, FCP, or other QT based "frame-to-frame" synchronized workflow. (In the case of MPEG-2 in MPEG Streamclip or QT, the QT MPEG-2 component must also be installed in order to convert the video data alone.)
    most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Internet files should always be considered suspect -- especially if they come from a peer-to-peer source. Messages that indicated QT cannot open an otherwise fully compatible QT format is often the best indication that there is a corruption problem or that the files were improperly closed at one point or another.
    most of my videos that won't convert for an ipod are downloaded from the internet. how can i find out if they are corrupted or incomplete?Normally ypu would post them to a web site or FTP storage area and post the URL. If files were downloadedd from a particular web site (e.g., a QT movie trailer), simply post the URL for the particular web page.

  • Creating video for web

    Hi,
    I'm currently putting together some videos in FCP for our new website. I've used FCP a lot for creating video for DVD's and exporting to .mov but converting to flash is relatively new to me.
    I am using the On2 Flix FLV exporter to export direct from FCP to a 704 x 396 flv file.
    Can someone clarify how I should set up my sequence in FCP to get the best quality results? All the source material is DV PAL for video (720 x 576 anamorphic) and PNG-24 for still images (in this case a background which I will input text over in FCP). Should I be setting all my sequences to 704 x 396, and what pixel aspect ratio should I use seeing as it is for flash/web use?
    Also, in the Sequence Settings dialog box what should I set as the Compressor settings (dv pal/h.264 etc) as flv does not appear as an option?
    Thanks
    Jack

    Thanks guys. So if I am to carry on working in the standard DV-Pal sequence I'm wondering what to do when importing graphics. I have been given a psd which contains a title screen that will be placed before each video. The psd has been given to me at 704 x 396 - the size of the final delivered FLV rather than the DV Pal sequence. When I bring this image into FCP and render it makes the image look pixelated/blocky (I'm exporting from Photoshop as a PNG-24). What is the proper way to export graphics for use in Final Cut? Should I re-size the image to match the sequence or bring it in at 704x396 and have Final Cut resize it?
    Thanks
    Jack

  • Compressing video for web

    My friend from Australia is trying to convert a trailer for web streaming but is having troubles with the format. We filmed the videos in Nashville and then he edited the trailer in Australia but every time he sends me a copy it's pixelated... Any suggestions on what settings he should be using on the compressor?
    Thanks,

    Quality is directly related to "bandwidth" (Data Rate).  How much you need is directly dependent on video size. You can usually get very good quality with 8Mbps (8000 Kbps) for 1080/30p. Exceptional quality would be in the 20Mbps + range (FCPX exports H.264 at 40+ Mbps and some higher end DSLRs and video cameras produce H.264 in that range as well.) For 720p, you can reduce that bandwidth down to about 5-6Mbps; 480p down to about 1.2Mbps.  If you have high contrast fast moving scenes, you will need more bandwidth in order to avoid jpeg artifacts (blocky images.)
    If you're posting videos on a "service" like YouTube or Vimeo, you should investigate their encoding specifications. For instance, a couple years ago, the maximum bandwidth supported by YouTube for 1080 video (doesn't matter the frame rate or interlaced/progressive -- just the maximum they allowed) was 5Mbps. They increased that to 8Mbps.  The trick with these services is: if you encode the video with HIGHER bandwidth than they allow, they will encode that video again downwards to the limit. You never, ever want this condition to happen. There are other encoding options that should be adhered to as well:
    Key Frames: Automatic
    Frame Reordering: OFF!
    Optimized for Streaming (makes a difference!)
    Encoding: Best Quality (always use multi-pass)
    (if you use these options, then you can set the Data Rate to 9400 kbits/sec -- it will almost always come under the 8Mbps limit)
    Sound: MPEG-4 AAC Low Delay  48KHz bitrate 128 - 320 kbps
    Check: Prepare for Internet Streaming and select Fast Start
    YouTube will leave your upload alone

    Enter a name for the Playlist.
    Select Music under Library in the iTunes source list to view all music available in your iTunes library. Select and drag the music that you want in the Playlist to the Playlist and then release.

  • Not syncing after converting videos for ipod

    SOS...I have an elGato eyetv on my mac and I have a few videos captured from it (eyetv) that i intend to put on my iPhone. I read the iPhone manual re videos (chapter 6 ipod) and follewed the instruction on converting so I did the " Converting Videos to iPhone by going to Advanced> Convert Selection for iPod". It seems iTunes did indeed the convert.
    My question is I just put my iphone on the dock to sync with itunes but it's not doing anything. It's been there over 15 mins but no prompts etc. It says SYNCING CONTACTS WITH *'S IPHONE forerver on the top field or status bar of itunes. The cord-like thing in it is moving. Meanwhile, phone says Sync in Progress. Prior to converting the videos, syncing had been flawless.
    Please help.. Thanks!

    Opppsss, i talked too early. I'm not getting a sound from the converted videos. I now remember that sound has always been compromised converting to eyetv native format to QT. Is anyone familiar with eyetv? Your help would be more than welcome as to how I convert to mpeg WITH sound.
    Thanks a lot.

  • Convert Video for IPOD

    Please someone help!
    I've added a "xx.mpg" file in itunes, then right click and choose "Convert Selection for iPod". Another file with same name is then created. I copy the new converted file to my iPod, however, there's only image but no sound. Can anyone tell me why and what video format can play in iPod.

    The iPod and iTunes cannot play back that type of file.
    The file must meet the following specifications to play correctly.
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    -or-
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats.
    When you use the convert option does it create another file with the same file extension?
    What is this video?
