Correct format to play in Flash AND iPhone???

I'm trying to compress some video files that need to load into and playback from a Flash swf...AND...use those same files to playback on an iPhone. I know they need to be H.264 mp4's, but I can't get the planets to align. Not sure what other settings to be set.
I can compress in Compressor and get it to play on an iPhone, but then it won't play in Flash. When I compress in Adobe Media Encoder CS4, it plays in Flash, but not on the iPhone. Both play in Quicktime Player, btw.
Does anyone know the secret combination?
Thanks!

I don't understand why you would need one file to work in both places
why not just make the 2 versions?

Which Tablet plays both Flash and Quicktime

Hello need some advise from you~
I am looking at a Tablet that supports both Flash and Quicktime.
So far I only know that Honeycomb 3.0 supports flash. But you can download this "Rock Player" application to run Quicktime.
On the other hand, I Pad supports quicktime and not flash.
What about the blackberry playbook. I am curiouse about its OS?
Over all I am lookign for a tablet that will play both flash and quicktime straight on the web. ex: apple movie trailer / youtube
Any suggestions? thank you very much.

I had the same symptoms and realized today that the answer was to make sure that 'Enable plug-ins' was checked under:
Safari
Preferences
Security
I don't know why it was unchecked all of a sudden, but maybe this will work for you?

Apple developer notes on video format for iPod, Apple TV and iPhone

I have been doing a bit of searching on information for converting video for the Apple TV and came across this web-page which contains technical information of converting video for the iPod, Apple TV and iPhone.
If you are after information on bitrates, b-frames, levels, profiles, low-complexity, etc. then this may help:
http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2007/tn2188.html
What is interesting to note, whilst 5Mbps is the maximum bitrate, the Apple TV supports spikes up to 12Mbps.
Happy reading and please feel free to add more links to useful information on the video format for the Apple TV.

I have downloaded the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Trailer #2 .mov file and this streams quite happily on the Apple TV. This has a total bitrate of 6505Kbps and an audio bitrate of 192Kbps @ 48KHz and video 23.98fps @ 1280x544.
So, according to the Apple TV spec., the audio is well above 160Kbps and the video bitrate is well above 5Mbps. So why does it play at all on the Apple TV let alone stream without stuttering? Maybe its because the video height is 544 rather than the full 720, but why does the Apple TV get to see it?
I don't know the answers, just offering this as an example of a video that is freely available for anyone to try out which clearly exceeds some of the maximum specs for the Apple TV.
Has anyone found or got anything that beats this?

Flash and iphone

I apologize in advance if this is not the correct place to
ask this but I was curious if anyone knows whether or not the new
iphone can handle flash content in it's browser?

Actually we started out in 1995 doing Director add ons. When
Flash 3
shipped (1997 I think) we started with screentime for flash,
since then
we have done quite a few different products, but in the end
decide to
focus soley on x-platform Flash add ons. (Sreeen savers,
desktop apps
and wallpapers)
We orginally started under the name MacSourcery that site was
up in
1995, as we became more x-platform we changed the name
Screentime
Media...
> Just out of curiosity.
> You sign says:

ITunes continuous play check boxes and iPhone sync

Hi Here is my problem..if I want iTunes to play each songs on my library one after the other the check boxes have to be marked BUT if I synch my iPhone with iTunes I don't want to upload on it all of my songs then I check/uncheck only the albums I want to upload.. So now, I can't play one after the other, on my MBP, the songs which are not synched on iTunes because of the check boxes? I miss something? Thanks, ciao!

Use playlists for syncing. One or more regular and/or smart to suit your needs.
Checkboxes are best for marking the occasional unchecked track as something you won't want to hear unintentionally, e.g. interview tracks or holiday music out of season.

Why am I getting a "QT PLAYER" logo on media files I used to be able to play with Flash and Silverlight?

When I try to download a video file I am getting a "QT PLAYER" logo and it wont allow me to open in Quicktime mor any other media player. Why is this happening? I think it happened after I tried to download plug-ins for Elmedia player? thanks

I dont need you to respond but I found out the answer and I thought I might share it so that if anyone else has the same problem you will know the answer. This what I did before the problem started:
1. I am running MAC OSX 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)
2. I down/loaded (d/l) ADOBE FLASH player
3. I d/l Adobe AIR SKX including SHOCKWAVE (thought that MORE is better!)
4. Saw that SAFARI had some NEW EXTENSIONS so D/L a few including:
    -Adware Blocker
    -Facebook Ad blocker
   - Facebook page cleanup
   - "CLICK-TO- FLASH blocker (this is the culprit!)
"ClickToFlash prevents the Flash plug-in from running. It replaces any Flash element on a webpage with a placeholder; simply click the placeholder to load the Flash content. ClickToFlash also lets you replace Flash videos from select websites (such as YouTube) with H.264 video. Other optional features include advanced whitelisting". Quote from Safari extensions page.
and a few other unimportant ones in my opinion.
REMEDY:
1. I checked everything about SILVERLIGHT as was suggested and UNINSTALLED SILVERLIGHT.
    WENT TO UTILITIES IN APPLICATIONS AND IN SPOTLIGHT WROTE "SILVERLIGHT" and then "MOVED TO TRASH" anything to do with
    Silverlight
2. did the same for ADOBE FLASHPLAYER and Went to UTILITIES and removed anything to do with Adobe, including the LOCKED ADOBE FILES
    AIR, SHOCKWAVE, AND A PLUG-IN CALLED "DIRECTOR.SHOCKWAVE"
3. THEN UNINSTALLED ALL THE SAFARI EXTENSIONS - especially the "CLICK To FLASH extension.
4. Went to SAFARI PREFERENCES, and under the SECURITY TAB made sure "enable plug-ins" was checked.
THEN:
1. RE-INSTALL SILVERLIGHT
RESTART
2.RE-INSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER (LATEST) 11.2.502.146 here;
http://get2.adobe.com/flashplayer/
RE-START
AND THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM. NOW WORKING PERFECTLY
MANY THANKS

My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date. Can you help?

I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

IOS needs the video to be in html5 format, try to convert the video to html5 or download a sample html5 video from web and verify it.

High Score Table: Writing a Simple Text File with Flash and PHP

I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
<?php
//assigns to variable the data POSTed from flash
$flashdata = $_POST["hsdata"];
//file handler opens file and erases all contents with w arg
$fh = fopen("scores.txt","w");
//adds data to file
fwrite ($fh,$flashdata);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
echo 'php file is working';
?>
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I can get php to write simple text files I should be ok. Thanks.

Thanks for your help.
I have got Flash working to a certain extent with PHP using loadVars but have been unable to get flash to receive a variable declared in PHP. Here's my Flash code:
var outLV = new LoadVars();
var inLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
outLV.hsdata = "Hello from Flash";
outLV.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php",inLV,"post");
inLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//sets dynamic text box to show variable sent from php
statusTxt.text = phpmess;
} else {
statusTxt.text = "No Data Received";
This works ok and the inLV.onLoad function reports that it is receiving data but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:
<?php
$mytxt =$_POST['hsdata'];
$myfile = "test23.txt";
$fh = fopen($myfile,'w');
//adds data to file
fwrite($fh, $mytxt);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
$mess = "hello there from php";
echo ("&phpmess=$mess&");
?>
The PHP file is correctly receiving the hsdata from flash and writing it to a text file, but there seems to be a problem with the final part of the code which is intended to send a variable called 'phpmess' back to Flash, this is the string "hello there from php". How do I set up Flash and PHP so that PHP can send a variable back to Flash using echo? Really have tried everything but am totally baffled. Online tutorials have given numerous different syntax configurations for how the PHP file should be written which has really confused me - any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a MacBook Pro, I want to copy Itunes files to an SD card to play in my car, the SD Card doesn't appear in Itunes when I insert it, and I don't know how to convert the files to the correct format, can anyone help?

Thank you

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

'Music' displays but won't play. Settings appear correct and iPhone (3G) is selected for output. Startup screen intermittently displays with the lower pause/play volume bar for no clear reason..... developed at the same time as play failure. Ideas????

Thank you for the replies.
Appearane of 'Music' functions (I>> > II <<I, plus volume slider) on the lock/log in screen (when first turning on the iPhone) thus far seems without pattern, i.e. regardless of which if any applications are up in the background, and indeed even when all have been quit.
All visual aspects of 'Music' appear normal after launch including the title scroll across the top in vertical mode. However, while pressing play (>) converts the play (>) icon to pause (II), selected song does not play and the elapsed time bar (upper end between the track count and the repeat/shuffle icons) remains stationary at 0:00 or at any point to which it is dragged. When using home sharing this same problem persists regardless of what output is selected.
Hope that may prompt a thought somewhere.

My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
Is there an easier way?

Weird iTunes Match issue - song correct on computer and iPhone, wrong on iPad

I hope someone can help.
I use iTunes Match for my mobile devices, with my main home PC being the golden source/reference.
Most songs work fine on my computer, iPhone 4S and iPad3 using iTunes Match ... however a few songs are incorrect on the iPad.
For example, Kelly Clarkson "Breakaway" is plays correctly on computer and iPhone, but a completely different Kelly Clarkson song plays on the iPad (a song we don't even own!).
Troubleshooting ...
a) on iTunes on my computer, iTunes match is up to date and the 'problem' songs are listed as "Matched" in the iCloud Status column.
b) on the iPad, I've tried turning off iTunes match, then re-enabling iTunes match - same issue occurs - the Kelly Clarkson songs show up, but the 'wrong' song plays
c) I've tried restarting the iPad ... no change.
I've read other threads with similar issues - they say contact support - but my systems are out of full warranty and there doesn't seem to be a way of contacting support without paying.
Does anyone have any suggestions ?

Hi - thanks for the response.
A couple of points/questions
1) I did further debug by deleting the song from my computer (leaving the song in iCloud) - then downloading from iCloud .... the song labeled Kelly Clarkson 'Breakaway' in iCloud is not the correct song .... this isn't coming from my system, as the song was 'Matched', not 'uploaded'.
2) I rechecked my iPhone ... the Kelly Clarkson song 'Breakaway' which plays correctly is stored locally on the phone ... it's not coming from iCloud/Match.
3) You mention removing "Music" from the iPad .... how is that possible? I can remove apps that I've downloaded, but don't know how to remove 'native' apps (like safari, music etc.). Also - based on my further troubleshooting, this clearly isn't an iPad issue any more ... it's an error with Apple iTunes Match catalog.
Any ideas on how to contact Apple (without me paying!) to have this resolved?
