Converting video to flash file (newbie ?)

Hi I was trying to convert an 14 mb mpeg 4 video file to an FLV file using the flash encoder. The resulting flash file to my surprise was 18 MB
I was expecting a very small file that I could post on the web. Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong. Im using the CS3 version.
I also need to convert .MOV files. Do I need a separate conversion software tool?

Sorenson Squeeze has a "watch folder" option, so they
probably have it set up to automatically convert from the upload
folder into a destination folder.

Thanks for your suggestions. I checked to see if the options you suggested were set incorrectly but they were set to sync all. This led me to think the problem was actually in the iphone. I re-initialized the iphone and did not allow the system to restore any of the previous settings. In essence, I forced the phone to reset to factory settings. Then my video podcasts started syncing. All is well now. I did notice that I had seven podcasts selected that were "HD" presentations, and as such, are not compatible with the iphone. I don't know if this had anything to do with my earlier situation, but now I'm getting the video podcasts automatically. I'm happy. It wasn't much fun forcing the iphone to forget all of my preferences and I'm still customizing the phone now several days later. I think I have everything working and back to normal except I haven't identified any of my email accounts as of yet. Thanks for your help.

Converting video to swf files in flash for breeze

Hello,
I am using Adobe Premiere Pro 2 and wanted to know what the
best video codec and audio codec to use when I export to create a
video file to insert into flash to convert to a swf file for
breeze? I am having trouble with the audio, must I demux it first
before I put into Flash? Or is there a audio codec that I can use
in Premiere so I don't have to demux the audio?
Also, when I insert a swf file in breeze plug-in for PPT, it
does not play the video or give me the controll by presentation
playbar I checked off. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, could use
some help, thanks.

hi,
if you work with the player component the .flv is not
embedded in the
swf. In Breeze you can only insert a single flash file I
suppose, so the
attached .flv file won't show up.

How to export and/or converting video to flash

I'm having a problem finding a way to make a flash video file. I'm using FCE 3.5 and cannot seem to export my video to be a flash video file. Is there a way to export with FCE 3.5 to flash?
Also since I've been having this problem, I thought I could perhaps export my video as a mov file, and then convert it to a flash file, but I haven't had much luck finding a way. Quicktime pro doesn't seem to do it. Is there a way to convert mov files to be a flash video file?
I appreciate any help in letting me know what my options are and/or steps to achieving those. Thanks.

You need Flash itself or a .mov to .swf converter. You can google to find the converters. ffmpegx can do it.

How do i play my videos in flash file after moving SWF file to website?

Hello all,
I am having some problems showing my videos in flash after moving it anywhere besides my computer.
I published my flash file once as a exe. file and sent it to another computer, where it all worked but my videos, which didn't show up at all.
I also published them as SWF files, then put them up on my free website (where i don't have access to the ftp) and the videos still aren't there.
The videos will play fine in an SWF file on my computer, but i am assuming when they are away from the videos, they don't have a source to access them.
I also tried sending the videos along with the SWF files when sending to other computers and it still doesn't work.
I now have a free hosted website (with wix.com if that makes any difference) with my flash work on, but no videos. I even tried to embed a youtube video into the scenes the videos are meant to appear, and put the videos on youtube, then i discovered you can't put that sort of HTML into flash.
Does anyone know how to show the videos on these sort of website, or even better, how to keep them in original file when sending them, so they show on other computers.
Sorry if I've waffled but I'm trying to clear up my situation .
Any help would be super, many thanks,
Flasher87

i am using the website wix, so in order to put the swf file up you just click the "Upload SWF" button, so i don't know how i could put the videos along with the swf, the swf is just sat on the page once i upload it.
second, when using this type of website do you know how i'd go about giving the website the permissions to play flv files?
Thank you.

Converting Video to FLash 8

I am trying to use Flash 8 video encoder to convert some mpg
and avi files to use in a web site. when i try to convert, and i
click to look at the advanced options, i see that the software
cannot encode the video. this doesn't happen when i am using a
quicktime file. is there something i need to do different

Maybe your codecs are messed up, and the AVI & MPEG
containers are using a different codec not supported by the
converter.

Converting video to Flash

I need to get right up to speed on this issue. So, does anyone know a website that has what I need to know, and what is the simplest most efficient program for either exporting from FCP to flash, or a converter from QT to Flash.
Also, for those in the know - what is the average meg per minute of footage ratio I should be heading for?
I am looking to display video in the size of about 4inch by 3inch or there abouts.
I have considered using QT, RM or WMV files instead of Flash, but feel Flash has much greater acceptance rate among viewers.
Thanks - (flash newby)

The latest version of Flash 8 Professional comes with an FLV encoding application. It works very well and allows you to choose between the older Spark CODEC or the new higher quality FLV CODEC.
Flash standard will not have this application. I use the Macromedia Studio which does have it and strongly recommend it for anyone doing such work. If you are not a Flash user, just provide the file in DV or DV50 and have the Flash developer run the encode. Most Flash developers prefer this since they can make several versions (for different connection speeds).
FLV is an extraordinary format that will eventually act as a direct competitor to QuickTime, Windows Media and Real. It is built in to the Flash 8 plugin and is completely cross platform. I would strongly recommend using it in sites where a 30+MB download for QuickTime Installer is asking too much. The quality of the FLV encoder is roughly equivalent to Apple's MP4 or Windows Media 9. 3ivx MP4 and H264 are much better, but only work through QuickTime. The SPARK CODEC is older and much lower quality but more people have the older Flash plugin, so it's a tradeoff.

Convert video to flash player

Hi all, i want ask a question about flash players

I have forgatten to tell:

Need to convert video and audio files in high quality

Hi to all, i need to convert file types such as .AVI, .WMV and .MOV and keep the high quality, but i dont have or know any software to do this, are there any good options out there?
I don't really want to use a trial version, thanks.

I've used FFMpegX for my conversions. I've never looked at them on a large screen to see how well the video quality held on, but they look fine on my MacBook.

Converting video cam tape file to digital?

Before I go buy or borrow someone's digital video camera to record a digital video file, I thought I'd ask if my iMac has some ability to translate a video tape file to a digital file? IOW, is there a way to input video from my older camera and then save it as a digital file? (I hope that was clear.)

NoBite
No, you'll need something to convert the analog file into a digital signal. There are various options, among them most recent digital video camera will do this, or you can get something like this:

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.

Converting video-multiple VOB files?

Does anyone know how to combine a series of vob files into 1 continuos vob file so that videora can convert it into a single mpeg4? When I use dvd decrypter to convert a dvd-r disc into its vob files, it breaks it up into more than 1 vob file, even though I recorded it as just 1 chapter, about 25 minutes in length?

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

How do I save stock footage as flash file with transparent background?

Hi
I have some stock footage of smoke on a black background (.mov format) that I would like to convert to a flash file with a transparent background, which I will be overlaying over a PNG image on a webpage.
I have managed to remove the black background in After Effects using a plugin called UnMult, but when I try to render as a FLV file in AE, even though I check the option to preserve the alpha channel and encode using the On2 VP6 codec, I still get a black background.
So I am wondering what else to try, whether it be with AE or Flash CS4. Is there a way of achieving this effect by directly importing the MOV file into Flash CS4 and removing the black background there, or do I have to use AE, and if so, how to achieve the effect I am looking for?
I would be grateful for any help in getting this together
Thanks
Nick

You can put the video file in a movie clip and change it's
blending in the properties panel to multiply or screen.
