Embedded FLV problem

Hello,
If you play an flv with NetStream you can set the smoothing
property so once its scaled it looks nice. If I embed a flv on the
timeline of a swf, how can I smooth this? Smoothing seams only be
available to bitmaps in AS3.
Thanks
Neil

The answer is to exactly copy the code from the CS5.5 and below versions of Dreamweaver.
Bu Nancy is correct. Everyone is moving to other standards for video on websites. Nancy generally recommends Pickle Player and I have been hand-coding using the HTML5 standards. I have generally found that all videos play in all browsers using the new standards, though you do have to support OGG and WEBM video files on your server.

Problems with embedding .flv files in DW CS4....

I inserted an .flv file into my DW CS4 html page. I previewed it in my browser, and it worked for a little bit, but now it's not working in any browser, I'm not sure what happened. I included a screen shot in the attachments of what was happening in all the browsers.
Thanks for any help,
Thank you,

Safari tells me that this file -

is not where you have told the page to expect it. Did you upload it?

Embedding FLV Video Into PDF Files

I have been testing out embedding FLV files into PDF's to simplify presentations (no need for Powerpoint, DVD player, DVD player software, etc..). It is a bit slow when a big video file will load, but I think it is worth it for the simplified presentation method.
My problem is this, whenever I embed an FLV file into a PDF, it seems to degrade the quality down a notch or two. I am not concerned about file size since these will always be played locally from a hard drive or CD so I created the embedded FLV file to be high quality and very crisp (720 x 486, ~2200kbs bit rate). However, no matter how good a file I embed, after it becomes embedded it always looks worse. At this point, it has mainly been trial and error, but the original quality does not seem to matter as to how it will look in the PDF.
Does Acrobat Pro re-encode the video no matter if it is FLV or not? And is there anyway to change the settings so it does not alter the existing quality?
Thank you.

Are you inserting a screen capture FLV of the whole screen. I use camtasia Studio to capture my desktop in video... and if the playback is NOT at the same size as the original...then it can look blurry.

Trouble with Firefox - Embedded .flv screws up layout

The following site was created as a photoshop .html. I created a blank box in the middle of the page that I later used Dreamweaver CS4 to remove the dummy 380x286 .jpeg and insert my 380x286 .flv in the empty table. Renders great in Safari and IE, but when viewed in Firefox, extra spaces are inserted around the page, throwing off the whole layout. Does anyone have any suggestions???
This is a problem page: http://debraoppenheim.com/test/reel.html (notice the black spaces under "debra oppenheim" in the upper left)
This is a page that's fine (no embedded .flv): http://debraoppenheim.com/test/home.html
HELP!
Thanks in advance,
David

Help with video in Flex - Alternative to embedding .flv?

I'm building a Flex application that needs to play a video, which I have in .flv format. I tried the mx:VideoDisplay component, and it was great, but, unfortunately, I need to be able to package the entire application into a single file, and Flex doesn't support embedding .flv files. Next I tried converting the .flv to a .swf, embedding that, then using mx:SWFLoader to display it. This worked, except that I can no longer control the video playback; the video just keeps endlessly looping. I need to be able to stop the video, and ideally I would like access to something like the complete event from mx:VideoDisplay, so that I can hide the video when it has reached the end.
I have tried a couple of solutions based around the idea that the content of the .swf can be treated as a MovieClip, but none of these worked for me. Any ideas?

How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

When publishing an Adobe Captivate 3 project, the embedded flv file does not play.
How can I publish a project so that the link to embedded flv is not lost?

I am not really sure, if I understand you right. But try this:
Don’t place a picture, but draw a box and use the "Fill" command to put a picture into it.
(Don’t click onto the color swatch, but onto the blue link "Fill".)
In this case responsivness should work.

On export, embedded flv video restart issue

After exporting my project (either as SWF or MOV), when I play the exported file, the flv video I have embedded in the timeline starts over whenever a motion tween begins in a separate layer. Why might this be happening? I'm using CS6.

Ah, figured it out. Totally my fault- in playback within flash, the video freezes on its final frame, which was the effect I intended, but on export embedded flvs apparently repeat, so I just took a screen shot of the final frame and put that in for the duration I wanted the frame to stay frozen. Your suggestion actually led me to this realization, thank you.

When I publish as an .mp4, the embedded .flv videos clip at the end

I am using Captivate 6.0.1.240. I have .flv videos that were encoded using Adobe Media Encoder from a .mov file. The videos are embedded on the slide, as multi-slide synchronized video, but only distributed across one slide (as strange as this might seem, it is what was recommended to me because using Event Video resulted in choppy video).
Now, the videos clip off a second or so before the end of the video. There are no transitions on the video slide or on the slide following it. I have tried extending the length of the slide beyond the length of the video, to no avail.
What am I missing? How do I get the embedded .flv videos to play fully?

Hi there,
As you told you have checked that there is no transition on the Slide on which you have the video.
Have you checked the transition effect on that video, whether Fade out only or fade in and fade out is selected. Select that multi slide video and click on the properties panel and check the transition on it.
Also, if this video is on the last slide, check the fade in and fade out on the project. (edit > Preferences > Project > start and end)
Thanks.

How to tween embedded flv file

Hello. I am actually working in Flash cs5.5, but I didn't know where else to post this as this is not really based on Actionscript.
I've imported 4 flv video files into my main file. What'd I'd like is for there to be a video in each corner and have each one enlarge to fill the screen for a moment and then shrink back up and go back into its original corner. I can't put a keyframe into an embedded flv file, though. Anyone know how to do this? Let me know if I need to explain this more.

Awesome!! Thank you! The flv playback component didn't work b/c when I put a keyframe in there to make the size larger, it just started the movie back from the beginning.
So then I did the flv inside a movieclip action that you suggested, and it works perfectly! Thank you very much.

Embedded flv smoothing

any way to enable a more smooth look for embedded flv in a swf? when i scale these flv's down they look a little bit pixelated. thanks!

Sorry to repeat me, but Flash is simply not up to the task you have in mind.
1.Long (>30 secs) Timelines combined with videos/Animations will most definitively get out of synch.
2.Precompressed videos will look even worse than the original (which you already learned)
3.You are in a constant danger of Flash crashing the longer your timeline gets and the more videos you embed, at this point simply scrubbing the timeline poses a high risk of getting flash to crash and destroying your complete work.
Believe me when I say you would be better advised to import all these videos and Audiotracks into after effects/premiere/Premiere Elements and then export it for youtube purposes.
If you absolutely must use Flash:
Set a ll the video instances bitmapSmoothing property to true and see if that improves the quality.
so if video1 starts on frame 1 and video2 starts on frame 155
insert the following Lines of Code at keyframes 1/155
video1.bitmapSmoothing = true;
video2.bitmapSmoothing = true;
//and so on for all videoinstances

FLV files need an embedded player. I would heartily recommend
Wimpy Wasp
which I've used extensively without a glitch
http://www.wimpyplayer.com/products/wimpy_wasp.html
If your site is hosted on a Windows 2003 server, then the
server has to be
configured to recognize FLV as a mime type. It may be that
your server
hasn't been configured in this way. Unless you're running
your own server,
this isn't a DIY job and you'll have to contact your host.
Some hosts are not helpful and will tell you they can't do
this or they
don't offer 'streaming media' as part of their hosting plan.
I got around
that problem uploading my FLVs to a friend's server who uses
a Linux server
and using absolute links to channel the FLVs through my
domain. This problem
does not affect Linux servers.

Need help embedding FLV files on a page

I am working in apex 4.2 and am having trouble embedding a VLC player in an apex page. So far, I have been able to embed and play wmv or mpeg videos in apex. I am primarily testing in IE. Will worry about other browsers later (Sofari, Mozilla, etc).
I have downloaded and installed a vlc player. The source code is as follows:
<embed src="f?p=&APP_ID.:&APP_PAGE_ID.:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=media:::GP_MEDIA_ID:&P37_MEDIA_ID."
autostart = "true" hidden="false" width="800" height="500" style="border-style:solid;" type="application/x-vlc-plugin"
pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLan.VLCPlugin.2" </embed>
However, when I go to the page, it still shows a broken link. I am not sure what is missing or where the problem lies. My only other "hunch" is that I haven't added or mapped out a mime-type for video/x-flv to one of the config files on my server. Could this be the problem??? Either way, I'm still stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Update:
I removed the "iTunes Library" file from Home>>Music>>iTunes, which allowed me to get back into iTunes, but I don't know how to connect to the files without it locking up again in the event that the mount to her share on my iMac becomes unmounted again.

Embedding FLV in cfm

Im working on a video databse project thatuses flash and xml
with a coldfusion backend system and one of the components I need
is a cintents page that ouputs all the videos stored in the
database. The problem is this needs to be done dynamically using
&lt;cfoutput&gt; and the code used to embed flvs in
html contains plenty of single #, which means cfoutput wont work.
Does anyone know of a way round this, such as an alternative
way of embedding the flv files?
Thanks
*Edit* Just found the answer, I just need to double the
hashes and it works fine with the standard code

Thanks for the tips so far.
From what I can tell, FLVPlayback with FlashVars looks like the way to go for my present purposes. I am brand-new to both FLVPlayback and FlashVars.
I am now trying to find documentation on the needed ActionScript. Haven't found it yet. One discussion makes it look as if all you need is
myFLV.contentPath = path/myFLV.flv;
which seems clearly wrong, while another suggests something likethis:
//Import flvplayback library
import fl.video.*;
//Init vars
var myFlashVar:String;
var my_FLVPlybk = new FLVPlayback();
//Add new element
addChild(my_FLVPlybk);
//New element properties
my_FLVPlybk.x = 0;
my_FLVPlybk.y = 0;
my_FLVPlybk.height = 500;
my_FLVPlybk.width = 750;
//Skin import
my_FLVPlybk.skin = "skin.swf"
//Flashvars code
var varName:String;
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
for (varName in paramObj) { myFlashVar = String(paramObj[varName]);
//Placed in html
params my_FLVPlybk.source = myFlashVar;
which looks like it might be close but not quite right.
Any help?

Embedding FLV or MPEG video!!???

I have the new Flash CC version. I noticed I don't have a 2014 behind it, nor do I have an option to get a 2014 version. That's all fine and dandy. Great.
I'm having problems embedding flash. When I convert an MPG to a FLV, as the Adobe Encoder CC software suggests (CC 2014 says it won't do this any longer because the development team feels it must spend it's time more wisely on MPEG to waste time on this any more), and try to embed into Flash, I get a message that it didn't work and I need to actually use a product called AMD. Does anyone know if this sounds right? And if Encoder CC doesn't work and I do need the third-party product AMD, why is it that Adobe no longer provides a workable solution?

ame is adobe media encoder which your already using. among other things, amd is a graphic card maker.
if you're seeing a prompt to update your amd drivers, do so. otherwise, can you attach a screenshot showing that amd recommendation?

Embedded FLV Cue Points not working

I am updating a project which uses an FLVPlayback component to play and navigate FLV videos using embedded Navigation cue points. The FLVs were originally encoded using an older version of AME, CS4 possibly. When trying to replace an FLV with a new one encoded using AME CS6, the embedded cue points do not work. Testing in Flash I get "VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek" when attempting to use "seekToNavCuePoint".
Comparing the two FLVs using Premiere shows no recognizable differences between them. They are the same format, their cue points are named identically, all are designated as Flash Cue Points, and all set to type "Navigation".
Digging into the FLV data, I've found that the cue point descriptions are formatted quite differently and I'm wondering if this is the source of the problem:
Excerpt from the original FLV (AME CS4?):
     <rdf:li>
      <rdf:Description
       xmpDM:trackName="AME Markers"
       xmpDM:frameRate="f254016000000">
      <xmpDM:markers>
       <rdf:Seq>
        <rdf:li
         xmpDM:startTime="9323149248000"
         xmpDM:name="q1in"
         xmpDM:type="FLVCuePoint"
         xmpDM:cuePointType="Navigation"/>
Excerpt from the new FLV (AME CS6):
     <rdf:li>
      <rdf:Description
       xmpDM:trackName="FLVCuePoint"
       xmpDM:trackType="FLVCuePoint"
       xmpDM:frameRate="f15">
      <xmpDM:markers>
       <rdf:Seq>
        <rdf:li>
         <rdf:Description
          xmpDM:startTime="550"
          xmpDM:name="q1in"
          xmpDM:cuePointType="Navigation">
         <xmpDM:cuePointParams>
          <rdf:Seq>
           <rdf:li
            xmpDM:key="marker_guid"
            xmpDM:value="2c2c8be0-75af-47d6-8938-4a365e33a550"/>
          </rdf:Seq>
         </xmpDM:cuePointParams>
         </rdf:Description>
        </rdf:li>
Completely stumped here, any ideas appreciated!

More digging into the new FLV shows that while XMP defines the cue points as type "navigation", there is prior data in the file that defines all the cue points as "event". This makes sense, because my SWF is correctly listening for and reacting to an "end" cue point in the FLV, but will not seek to any cue point since they are all set as "event".
Copying and pasting from Notepad++:
cuePoints       0       name   q1in time @BYûçl‹D type   event
1       name   q1out time @JÜ(õÂ\ type   event
2       name   q2in time @V£¥ãS÷Ï type   event
3       name   q2out time @^/ Ÿ¾w type   event
4       name   q3in time @_Oß;d type   event
5       name   q3out time @nE™™™™š type   event
6       name   q4in time @s G® zá type   event
7       name   q4out time @vNÄ›¥ãT type   event
8       name   q5in time @w¢Ù ‡+   type   event
9       name   q5out time @zw×
=p¤ type   event
10       name   end time @€ð bMÒò type   event
Any idea why AME is doing this?
