Director MX 2004 digital video playback

Hi all,
I have recently completed an update project in Director
MX2004, this was completed by extracting the source from a customer
supplied CD of an existing project (the original design company had
gone into receivership and none of the source files survived) and
essentially rebuilding all of the functionality, Navigation etc..
All was well until the first draft showed that the digital
video content failed to playback due to the failure to translate an
Xtra (DirectMediaXtra) from the CD rip, the purchase of its
successor (MPEGAdvance) cured the problem on our test machines but
the customer is complaining that the projector still fails to load
the digital video on some of their laptop PCs although this time
not with a red cross but with a blank black screen.
Am I at fault or is it a hardware CODEC problem? Any ideas?
anyone Please?

More likely a CODEC issue - how was the video file
compressed?

No video playback in premiere elements 12

No playback after a few mins of editing. Tried most of the potion in the adobe troubleshooting section (http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-digital-video-playback-premiere-2 .html) but never got anywhere. Most options listed are for Windows. I have an almost new Mac with all the system requirement to run Elements 12 . HELP, PLEASE

bjgarciac
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I do try to find common ground between Premiere Elements 12 Windows and Mac as a first pass at troubleshooting issues like the one your present.
1. What are the properties and duration of your source media?
Video compression
Audio compression
Frame Size
File Extension
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Brand/Model/Settings for Camera which recorded the video would help.
2. What did you or the program set as the project preset based on a match of project preset with properties of the source media?
3. What have you done in the way of edits after which you have problems? What is the duration of the TImeline at that point? Is this a multi track project?
Please explain "playback stops"
a. The TImeline Indicator will not move from the start of the Timeline when you press Play in the Edit area monitor?
b. Playback stops after playing back about few seconds of the Timeline content
c. Other
Do you have the Work Area Bar gray tabs set to span the whole content of the Timeline?
When you are playing back your Timeline in the Edit area monitor, does your Timeline content have an orange, green, or no colored line
over its duration?
4. Are you running a dual or single computer monitor setup? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Playback Quality is there any
difference in the problem whether you set for Highest instead of Automatic?
5. For this type of video and this type of project, would you class this problem as
"it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before".
Thank you.

Digital Video Buttons

I have a Digital Video element with buttons controlling it
manually made. I want to create buttons to make the user go to the
beginning of the video if they click on the << button and end
of video if they click on the >> button. Any ideas how to do
this the simplist way, I have tried to use pre-defined behaviors in
Director but they dont work.
Any help will be appreciated!
Cheers!

movieTime - position in vidoe
movieRate - playback speed where 1 is forward, -1 backward, 2
fast forward (2x)
and 0 is paused
duration - length of video
to go to end of video sprite 8 and pause
sprite(8).movieTime=sprite(8).duration
sprite(8).movieRate=0
QT generally goes to a movieRate of 0 when it gets to the end
of the video. This
does not happen with AVI.
to play again from paused state
sprite(8).movieRate=1

Re: Satellite L - How to connect my digital video cam?

I have a Canon digital video camera (bought in 2004). I have been using it to transfer movies onto my other Toshiba laptop, but there is no place to plug in on my new laptop. I did use a iEEE1394 but it doesn't work on this one.
What alternative is there?
Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
Any suggestions pls.

Hey,
What notebook model you have it exactly? Some notebooks dont have firewire port but if your camera has USB port can use this port. As far as I know all notebooks have USB port
> Also on turning on the laptop I get a message saying TOSHIBA SERVICE STATION NOT WORKING and proceeds to solve it but nothing happens.
You should try to reinstall Service Station, I think this should work. Just download the newest version of Toshiba service station on official Toshiba website and install it:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
But dont forget to remove the old version first before you install the newest one. ;)

Judder in flash video playback

I'm having this weird random judder issue when viewing video playback using the flash player (e.g. youtube). The judder is very noticeable on 2d scrolling videos such as this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAdHJYUjeVo&feature=g-all-u#t=10m40s. I have gotten the judder to go away only a few times by jumping around video resolutions and using the "show video info" option. It's totally inconsistent in terms of a fix. Video info shows that it's running at 30fps and not dropping frames. I've used current versions of firefox, chrome and IE with the same results. I'm seriously baffled.
This just didn't become an issue with the current version of flash. It's been an issue across many versions of flash.
In the ways of the troubleshooting I've tried with no success:
Uninstalled and reinstalled flash.
Turned off hardware acceleration.
Disabled plugins and extensions.
Uninstalled my antivirus (avira).
Done a clean wipe and install of my video drivers.
Disabled aero.
Any ideas or suggestions would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for replying.
Bug report has been submitted.
I'm pretty sure the judder has always been there. Sometimes it's more pronounced and sometimes it's not. As I said it's very inconsistent. But 95% of the time there is judder.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash ver. 10.3.183.43 and unfortunately it did not fix it.
It's so weird. It really looks like it's dropping fps at random and yet flash player video info says it's fluctuating between 29-31 fps and not dropping frames.
I really don't understand how me going back and forth between resolutions and fullscreen and right clicking on the video to bring up video info will make it go away randomly.

Why is the video playback on the 160 g ipod not as clear as the 80 gig ipod?

I recently got a new ipod 160 g classic. The video playback is not near as clear as it was on my 80 g classic. Is there some setting i have wrong. The video is washed out and has a yellow tint. I even replaced the unit, but it still looks the same.

Hi there, BDAqua, and thanks for the reply. I just tried watching one of the non-DRM-protected videos in VLC, and I found that it glitched, too - but not in the same manner. The glitch lasted for about two seconds and then self-corrected.
Checking my SMART status, it's verified, and I take that to mean that there were no issues.
I managed to catch an episode mid-stutter in windowed mode, and Activity Monitor had iTunes at 20.6%, considerably higher than anything else (all the other processes were in the single digits), but I had seen iTunes's CPU usage higher earlier - up to 27%, yet it didn't stutter at that point.
I have 4.55GB of free RAM and 510.42GB free HD space. 0 bytes of page-outs. Actually, I've never seen it that low before, but I definitely suspect that's not the problem.
Thanks,
-Greg
Edited: Corrected VLC test results.

Video playback = periodic restarts

Recently, my video iPod has started to restart/reboot itself in the middle of video playback.
This only happens occasionally, not all the time. Maybe every 30 minutes or so.
I don't have any videos from the iTunes Store -- these have all been encoded by me using Handbrake -- so it's nothing to do with authorization.
I've already wiped it and reloaded everything again, and yet this still happens.
Sounds to me like it's a hardware bug or something, but I wonder if there are any other solutions out there. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Mapping Video Playback to Keyboard Functions

Periodically I need to change my Video Playback to my second monitor by going to View > Video Playback > Digital Cinema Desktop PREVIEW.
I once did it to "Preview - MAIN" in Motion and couldn't get it to come off unless I trashed my preferences. I'm rather concerned that in a sleepy moment my mouse will slip and I'll hit MAIN. Is there a way to map these functions (or any other menu combinations) to the Keyboard so I can just bring it up with a simple keystroke? Or is it simple called something particular in the Keyboard layout that I haven't figured out yet?
Thanks
Joel

The shortcut exists already. Command & F12 keys.

Director mx 2004 won't display Flash 8 swf files & other Flash media

I have created a Flash 8 Project which has audio, video (which are converted to swf files fom flvs), flashpaper. This application is driven by XML.
However this application works fine outside director, but when I import the main swf file into director mx 2004 and RUN it, director won't display the videos (but I can hear the audio from the videos), Director wont show graphic images(eg menu icon movie buttons, and flash buttons). Also I can launch external files (eg text file) from flash, but again it won't work via director.
ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I suggest there's no need to shout.
Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.

Digital Video Camera with USB connection

If anyone can help me please let me know. I own a Sony Digital Video Camera that's 3 years old. It connects to my iMAC through a USB port. I can not figure out how to load my videos to iMovie. Is this camera too old? When I connect the USB port nothing happens; nothing appears on my desktop.

George,
i'm not sure if you can download Image Capture from the Apple Website separately or if it comes as a total download of a specific version of OSX. If you have the original system discs that came with your computer, maybe that would have it, or worst case, an option to "Restore Software." Since you camera records to a DVD, you have another option: Do a Google search for MPEG Streamclip and download it (free). Basically, MPEG Streamclip will convert the files on the DVD back to DV files for editing in iMovie. I don't have any first-hand experience with a DVD camera, so you might also need to download Apple's MPEG-2 Playback Component ($20 from Apple's site) if the video on your DVDs is in MPEG-2 format. Come to think of it, I downloaded some MPEG movies from my digital still camera (it takes simple movies) using Image Capture and I still needed to use both MPEG Streamclip and the Apple Component to get it into iMovie, so maybe skip Image Capture and go for these two programs. I know it should be easier to do than this, but unfortunately getting video back off of a DVD is not what Apple wanted you to do. They setup their movie edit programs to accept DV files. The movies on a DVD are already highly compressed, so you actually need to reverse the process and get these compressed movies back to DV. Most PC computers allow, and even suggest, that you import MPEG movies for editing, but that is toally backwards. That explains why the PC discussion boards are filled with toally frustrated and confused people. Most PC computers still don't come with Firewire. They just don't get it.

Poor video playback in Encore 2.0 preview and monitor window . . .

I'm having a strange issue with my video playback in the preview and monitor windows. At some points it displays as blocks (like digital noise). I unchecked the "Automatic" option in the A/V Output dialog as described in the manual. Still, nothing changed.
To make sure it was Encore that had the problem, and not the file, I played my MPG2 files through PowerDVD, and nothing wrong with the playback in there. What is Encore 2.0 doing? How can I fix this problem???
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

What Mouse drivers are you using please?
This might sound silly, but under 1.5 (Different preview engine, true, so this may be completely wrong) I found that with a later revision of the MS Intellipoint drivers, I had exactly the same issue.
We worked this out by realizing the green blocks appeared as soon as the mouse was moved. As with your cases, the discs still burned true proving it is a preview related issue.
Uninstalling & reverting back to version 4.1 made it all go away.
But since the preview engine is now the PPro one, this might not work any more.

Director MX 2004 and Flash Actionscript 2

Can anyone show me how to program director MX 2004 to run a
few Actionscript 2 programmed .swf (not frame-by-frame programmed)
in a row?

Rob,
Thanks for your replay. Here is what I want to do:
I have a Flash animation all done in Actionscript to playback
a few slides with title and description. The pictures are loaded in
the .swf runtime and the location of the pictures, duration,
transition, and text attributes are controlled by external XML.
Since this is all done with Actionscript, the Timeline is not
really an indication of real time (like in frame-by-frame
animation). How can I program Director to play the whole Flash
animation and stop when done?
How can I upload a test file to you to illustrate what I'm
talking about?

FLV in SWF in Director MX 2004 Issue

I did a search, but couldn't find a response to this issue.
I have SWF running in a sprite in Director MX 2004. The SWF
includes an FLVPlayer component with a "SteelExternalPlayMute.swf"
skin and links to an external FLV. (Flash files are version 8. All
resources are in the same folder.) The visibility of the FLV Player
is set to "false" in SWF and I have a button in the SWF to set the
visible to "true" and play the FLV. This all works correctly in the
SWF and when I "PLAY" the Director movie in production, but the FLV
won't appear and "PLAY" in the Director Published EXE, but WILL do
so if I pull the ""SteelExternalPlayMute.swf" out of the folder.
Something in the Flash component skin isn't working in the
Director EXE because the Actionscript to play the FLV does work
when the skin is removed from the folder. Even the visibility
script works fine and the video plays.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Does anyone have
experience with this issue? Is it simply an incorrect SWF import
setting or resource?
Thanks.

Hi,
You said swfs are Flash 8. Did you also set them to
Actionscript 2? If it's
Actionscript 3, that may be the problem. You may be
interested in looking at the
Flash Video templates I have at:
