Dreamweaver CS4 Can't Insert F4V only FLV?

I was hoping for a quick way to insert H.264 HD video into
web pages with CS4 Dreamweaver, but apparently the Insert -->
Media command only recognizes FLV file types, not the F4V files
produced by Adobe Media Encoder from H.264 HD video.
Others on the Internet are saying to rename the .F4V to .FLV.
Indeed, Dreamweaver will then allow you to insert the video with
Insert --> Media. Is this OK?
Does anyone know a fast way to insert F4V's into Dreamweaver
pages? One nice feature of the Dreamweaver insert of regular FLV's
is it keeps track of which folder you put the video in and
correctly changes the relative file paths when you upload to a web
server. When you insert a SWF & Video created with Flash,
there's usually headaches with the file paths being off unless you
put all the files in the same folder as the HTML page calling them,
which isn't practical for large sites with many videos. Or edit all
the files, a bigger pain.

That's easily solved by using ROOT RELATIVE links to the SWF
and Video
rather than document relative ones.

  • In Dreamweaver CS4, can't get sidebar background to expand to 100%

    I'm using the standard Dreamweaver-CS4-generated template for a fixed-width 2-column page (i.e., left menu column and main column) with a header and footer. This is the "2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and  footer."
    I'd like to have an overall body background (x,y repeated - that seems easy to do) and a left menu column repeated (x,y repeated ).  Alas, the comments that are generated with the template imply that you just can't do that.  I've tried all sorts of height=100% conbinations, but they don't seem to work.
    Any ideas?

    Unlike table columns, CSS columns don't communicate with each other.  The height of a division is determined by how much content is inside it.  And that value may be longer or shorter than adjacent columns.
    TO CREATE EQUAL HEIGHT CSS COLUMNS:
    Option 1. Start with an Equal Height CSS Layout
    http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/equal-height-columns-cross-browser-css-no-hacks
    Option 2. Faux Columns (repeating background image).  The easiest method.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2653416#2653416
    Option 3. JavaScript -- may not work in all layouts.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 - Can't see table cells and borders

    Hello you all.  I just started using CS4 and whenever there is a white background I can't see any of the table cell or main borders.
    I went to View>Visual Aids>Table Borders and it is on, but I can't seem to find the area I need to change the color to view it on white.

    I just remember the previous versions would allow you to change the dotted line color that indicated the table and cell borders.
    Must say I can't ever remember that being a preference in any previous version of DW.
    Sadly, it looks like I will be using tables to set up my site.  Haven't adopted CSS as much as I'd like at this point.
    Now's as good a time as any to start with CSS from the ground up.
    Try one of the pre-made templates in DW under File > New

  • Inserting flv file in Dreamweaver CS4

    When I insert a flv file using Dreamweavr CS4 using asp (Windows XP, SP3 and IE8), I only get two additional files generated (FLV-PlayerProgressive.swf and a skins file.  I get no other files generated, either in my root folder of a Scripts folder.  FLV file works fine in Live Mode, but all I get is a white box when I upload the files to my server.  I've read numerous similar questions.  Has anyone ever got a good answer?  How can I resolve this issue?  I appreciate any help from anyone.

    I have checked numerous reference materials concerning this problem, and cannot really find any answer as to why DW CS4 is not inserting the files (for some users). I have even tried using different programs to encode an flv file, and creating an html page direct from within flash CS4, just to see if different files are created (definitely more options etc), but to no avail.
    The files DW should create are -
    FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf,
    Halo_Skin_3.swf (this is a skins file and can be any one of 9 available)
    2 files in a Scripts folder named –
    swfobject_modified.js
    expressInstall.swf
    In the head content it should insert the following -
    <script src="Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    The only option I can recommend, is to insert the flv into a new (otherwise blank) html file, and then copy the code from there (providing it works of course).
    I know this is a problem for many people, and I have even considered asking the forum administrators if I could write an FAQ on how-to and possible solutions.
    If DW is not inserting the files mentioned above it may be worth while trying an uninstall / reinstall, but my recommendation is to first create a fictitious site, and then insert an flv into a blank html file (as mentioned above), just to test if that works.

  • Where is "Structure" under Insert in Dreamweaver, I can only see "Layout"?

    Can anyone tell me why I cannot see the menu with Structure under Insert in Dreamweaver, and can only see one with Layout? Any help appreciated on this. I am trying to follow the  Dreamweaver tutorial "Make your first website", and am stuck on "Create the page structure" (Part 2)- as the drop down menus in the online tutorial are different to those on the Dreamweaver site that I can see on my Mac OS X 10.6.8
    The tutorial instructs to find Structure in Insert but I can only see a function labelled Layout.
    I managed to find a way of locating 'div' but there is not a Header in the drop down menu in Insert.
    There is a list of Spry options but these are quite different to the list given in the tutorial.
    Please can anyone help with pointing to where I can find the function to make a Header (as it is called in the tutorial).
    Thanks.

    Layout and Structure are the same tab (Category). Layout was renamed to Structure after CS6 if I'm not mistaken. See below:
    Layout - CS6

  • Problem Inserting Flash Video (.flv) File in Page Using Dreamweaver CS4's Insert Media Command

    I am using Dreamweaver CS4.
    I am attempting to put a Flash Video (.flv) file on a standard HTML page in Dreamweaver.
    When I either click the Insert Flash Video in the Common tab on the Dreamweaver toolbar, or if I choose Insert > Media > FLV to inert the video, I get the standard Dreamweaver FLV interface. I make my choices, click OK, and when the video is place on the page, I get the following dialog box:
    "While executing inspectSelection in flvProgressive.htm, a JavaScript error occurred."
    with an OK button.
    If I preview the page, all that loads are the various buttons of the skin that I have chosen and no video.
    Anyone have an idea what is going on?

    Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
    When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web. 
    If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 dead slow on windows 7 after inserting some png images, I can't scroll. Why?

    I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on windows 7, I put some png images in table and one 900px width image on background, now I cannot scroll the page, I can work smoothly on code view, but really dead slow in design view, Why? I am using Toshoba Tecra laptop - Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz with  2.5GB RAM.
    Is it related to cache? Is it need any special settings for using too many images? Please help.

    Thanks dear, The image has 1.08MB, but I find out the problem - I have 3 transparent images(less than 1kb) as table backgrounds, When I removed those images it works smoothly, I can scroll as well. But to keep the design how can I use transparent image without slowdown. The images are in PNG-24 format and i used those through CSS.
    Thanks for your help.

    will play in browsers?
    Please help! I'm stumped.

  • Export to F4V and Dreamweaver CS4

    I've learned that if I rename the extension of an FV4 file (H.264) created with PPro to ".FLV" I'm then able to place it on a Webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. Dreamweaver will not recognize FV4 otherwise. Any reason that this is a really bad idea (seems to be the workaround recommended in Web articles)?
    I also noticed that the F4V Export presets default to an aspect ratio that did not match my D3s '640x424' original. So I just manually set the output to a 3:2 shape (300x200) and that seems to have worked fine. Otherwise I ended up with black bars on the top/bottom. Here too... is this an appropriate way to deal with this?
    I really do feel like one of those bothersome students who just won't stop asking questions :-)
    Thank you!
    Russell

    There's also TextStitch (free) and TextExporter (so cheap it's almost free) from Rorohiko. These tools are pretty useful, but for some layouts "manually connect all stories into logical order to export a single RTF" is still a mandatory part of our workflow. There are many kinds of document (trifold brochure, overdesigned poster) that can't be automagically connected into a single story in logical order. However, if you don't deal with layouts like that, or if you don't care that your trifold brochure exports are not in the order in which they'd be read, then you'd have a lot less manual threading to do - perhaps none at all.

  • Can't see Remote data in Dreamweaver CS4

    I have a site that I have had for years and recently changed from a real old version of Dreamweaver to Dreamweaver CS4.  I had trouble getting my FTP to work so I used an external program to move the files.  The files have been uploaded and the site is active on the Internet so I know there are there.
    When I use Dreamweaver, the only thing I can see is the "/" that represents the root folder.  All the site definitions say that it can connect to my server, it just does not show the files.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Fred

    Hi,
    here I'll quote a hint from Nancy O. for DW applications:
    Try toggling Passive and/or Secure FTP on/off.
    Your web host might have changed upload requirements to improve security.
    Another thing to check is your Anti-virus and Firewall settings. If they are too restrictive, DW may not have permission to connect to the remote server.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Insert Table button does not work.

    I recently upgrade from an older version of Dreamweave to Dreamweaver CS4. But now I have a problem with inserting tables.
    They have the dropdown on the top right for Classic, Coder, Coder Plus and so on. I was using classic and everything was fine, then all of a sudden if I try using the Insert Table button from the Inserts tab, it does nothing. If I right click on the button, then click on the button it works, and if i switch to any other view it works. so then I used Coder and it was fine, but then again it stopped working. So I switched to Coder Plus and it was fine for a few more days and then it stops working again. I have rebooted my machine, closed out of DW and nothing seems to fix it. I just installed all adobe software updates and there was nothing in the update that fixed the problem. Does anyone else have this issue and if so, how do I fix it?
    I have searched google and I can't find anything. I can keep switching views but one day soon if it continues, I'm going to run out of views and Its such a habit to use the button instead of the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut.

    try the following
    Recreate Dreamweaver CS4 Configuration and registry
    - rename the configuration folder to any name. (just add any character I suggest)
    C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration
    - recreate the registry folder
    Start > run > regedit
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Dreamweaver>10. Rename 10 ex: 10_old
    maybe you can post your specs here for more specific troubleshooting. Cheers!

  • Can't see the widget in Live view in Dreamweaver CS4 for Mac

    Hi
    Following this example in http://www.truveo.com/Web-Widgets-in-Dreamweaver-CS4/id/180144024212823976
    from Scott Fegette to place a YUI Calendar inside a project in Dreamweaver CS4. I see that Scott after placing the YUI_Calendar.mxp they got the calendar in Live view mode and I can't do the same, can't see in Live View, only a blank page.
    I follow all the Scott's instructions correctly because the code is there and I can see the calendar in the browser but not in Live View... If I turn off the Live View then can see the YUI Calendar in Design View only (a light blue tag named YUI_calendar).
    I'm under Mac OS X 10.5.6.
    Can you help me to see the YUI Calendar in Live View?
    Thanks.

  • How do you insert a slide show into a page in Fireworks or Dreamweaver CS4?

    Newbie here. I just made a nice 4 image slide show in FW CS4 (under COMMANDS, CREATE SLIDESHOW) but can't figure out how to insert it into a page in FW or Dreamweaver CS4. My goal is to insert it into a FW page, then send it as a PDF to the boss for review before it goes into Dreamweaver. Can that be done? I assume if you can create the slide show in FW, then you can see it FW - or is that asking too much?? So far, I can create it, then choose to preview it in a browser (and it looks good). But then I click "done" and "x" out of the screen and it's gone. I saved the slideshow in a folder I created on my desktop. When I open the folder I see an images folder, a scripts folder, an "index.html", a "player_black.swf", and a "slideshow.xml". I've tried dragging all of these onto the FW page but nothing happens.. Also, the "insert" button in FW doesn't have a preset for slideshows. Neither manual mentions how to insert it into a FW or DW page.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
