Embedded mpg file plays in editing full but on 30 secs on web?

Hi, I'm starting to get a little more advanced with my
website and have just now started using embedded activeX objects.
I've successfully embedded the movie and it works perfectly during
editing and preview. However when I go active on the web, it only
plays 36 seconds, then stops. Anybody have any idea? Here's some
information about my server
I have an HP d330 microtower P4 1.8 ghz 1gig ddr 2300 ram.
java_EE_SDK server technology
Verizon DSL for business ISP
WinXP Pro
Macromedia Studio 8
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all in advance!

I am not someone who upgrades just for the sake of it .
And I did not suggest such.
The G5 was touted as a HD editing machine before HD was standardized and preferred codecs established.
Even then, there were always limitations, and even Apple software didn't support all functions accross the machine lines.
Some components just aren't up to HD. CPU, GPU and RAM have always been marginal or lacking, especially as the file size increases.
Lossless codecs really highlight the G5's age......
H.264 and Blu Ray support are what to a G5?
People have been here time and again over the several years that I have been posting here, asking, questioning, complaining, begging and demanding info on how to better edit HD, how to support this codec, that compression, etc., etc., how to make the machine render faster or support that which it can't.
The G5 can do some, much of the newest, standardized work, only partially or can't.
Software is another issue.
You already realize the inadequacy, so I'm not saying anything new; just passing on my observations.....
A new camera may show the inadequacy immediately upon connection. New cams don't communicate well with old machines/OS versions.
That is a common theme here as well......

Quicktime .mpg files playing without audio

Recently i have been unable to play .mpg files through quicktime in both a browser (safari & Firefox) and movies of my harddisk directly in quicktime. All other video files including .mov .mp4 ect seem to work fine and now .mpg will not play with sound, however they will play in vlc, but i wish to play my videos in quicktime and a browser using quicktime.
I have tried reinstalling 7.0.4, installing 7.01 then back to 7.04 and 6.5.2. And i have had no such luck. I have purchased both mpeg-2 component and quicktime pro which also hasnt helped. I cant think why they have suddenly stopped working i have not changed any setting or downloaded anything that it should effect.
An example of a file that will not play with sound is:

After searching the internet for about 3 hours i have found the solution. Here it is:
1. open up the program "Audio Midi Setup" located in your /Applications/Utilities folder.
2. Click the tab that says Audio Devices.
3. Now go to the Audio Output section on the bottom right part of the window.
4. In the drop down boxt next to "Format" change the frequency (sampling rate) to 44100.0 Hz.
The problem seems to be, for some reason, upon installing QT 7 on some user's machines this value is getting set to something higher than what the computer can output, and therefore no sound is coming out.

Why does embeded .swf file goes crazy in IE but not in other browsers?

hi everyone
I'm building a SharePoint page with an embedded .swf file that is capable of detecting the current URL to activate and show content. Everything goes smoothly in all the browsers I've tested it except IE. When I open the SharePoint page in IE the .swf just reproduces the frames non stop, It completely ignores my scripts and I cant find anything that could be responsible of this. besides the url detection script, i just have simple button configuration for the timeline and general stops.
any idea?.....anyone?

Normally when swf's play differently for different browsers it is due to the embedding code used in the html page.

Audio file plays in my itunes but restarts my ipod

I downloaded some audio files that play perfectly in my itunes but when I click on the middle button of my ipod to choose song to play, it restarts my ipod. All other files I have play in both my itunes and ipod perfectly. Thanks for help!

You don't have to check Manually manage music and videos, but if you want to add songs and video to the iPhone by dragging them to the iPhone in iTunes, that checkbox needs to be checked. Otherwise, you can use the Music tab (next to the Summary tab) to set up automatic syncing, based on playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres, which for me is the more convenient way to load an iPod or iPhone. I usually do it using playlists (that have only the songs I want on my Pod).
I don't know what's going on with that one Amazon download. I've downloaded songs from Amazon before, and have not encountered any problems. I haven't done so recently, so maybe I'll find something free (they have a lot of free downloads compared to the iTunes Store) and give it a try, to see if I have the same problem.
As a workaround, you can try converting the song file. First, open iTunes preferences and click on the General tab. Then, click Import Settings. Make sure it is set to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus (which should be the default settings). This setting will encode (if you "rip" any music CDs), or convert song files, to the format used by iTunes Store downloads, which is 256 kbps ACC.
Select the Amazon download with the problem your iTunes music library listing. Go up to the menu bar. Under Advanced, select Create AAC Version. (You can also select that command by right-clicking on song.)
This will convert the song file to AAC format. The original MP3 file will still be there, but you will also have an AAC version. You should be able to sync an AAC song file created by iTunes to your iPhone.
NOTE: When you do this, you are converting one compressed audio format to another compressed audio format, so there may be a small loss in sound quality. The difference is probably not noticeable when listening on an iPod or iPhone using "earbuds." When listening to the song on the computer, you should use the original song file.

VOB Video files play in Premier Elements but not in Organizer

I just purchased a new Dell Studio 15 Laptop, running Windows 7 (64bit), with an i7 cpu, and my VOB video files play and show a thumbnail in Premier Elements 8 but do not in the organizer. Has anyone found this problem and a solution?

Hunt
Thank you for responding so quickly. I first installed my Premier Elements 8 and Photoshop Elements 8 on our Vista desktop computer, and everything worked fine. I purchased my laptop with a high end cpu, hoping to improve performance, and moved my application over, and now I am unable to play these videos when in the Organizer, while they do play in Elements (they played in both applications on the slower Vista computer).
I tried to update premier elements to 8.0.1, (I am running 8.0) but the updater sayes no updates are available.
I created the VOB files from my old family video tapes using a Sony DVDirect DVD Recorder, model MRD-MC6 if that helps. I didnt try to strip data from the files, because I dont know how, and think I shouldnt have to, given that everything worked fine on my older Vista desktop.
One other clue- if I try to import one file at a time to the organizer, I get the following error message:
"The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed.
Perhaps the Organizer and Premier Elements use different codecs, and the on in my organizer doesnt work." Any ideas how to check if I have the proper codec(s)?

Quick time files play on my computer but in other computers only audio...

Dear Forum.
I have quick time pro.
I am a composer so I upload a movie (mov. file) to my digital performer file...I write music, I bounce the music with the picture to Quick time movie and I have a mov. file.
The exported file plays fine on my computer but in other computers only audio is showing, not video...
I tried many other (pc and macs)
Please tell me what the problem is. Does it have to do with my settings?
Please advise.
Thanks

I am a composer so I upload a movie (mov. file) to my digital performer file...I write music, I bounce the music with the picture to Quick time movie and I have a mov. file.
The MOV file extension refers to the file container and not to the compression format contained within the file. To better understand what is goin on here, you will need to open you file in QT and check the "Inspector" or "Properties" window to see what video compression codec was actually used in the file and them determine if these other systems also have this codec available for playback.

Embedded SWF files auto starting in IE but set to not auto play - Chrome, Firefox, Safari work ok

One of the web masters at my school has embedded several Captivate 5 swf files in a web page. I had re-exported all of them to not auto start after we realized that the originals were set to auto play upon loading (someone else made the orginials...). Caches have been cleared on IE9, but yet, when that page loads, all of the no auto-play swfs start playing. On Chrome, Firefox and Safari, none of them start playing when the page is loaded. Does anyone have a clue why IE9 might be doing this and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Sue

Am I correct in assuming that when your web developer set these SWFs up on the same page that he did not use the default HTM page that Captivate creates? Did he just embed them into the web page using standard Dreamweaver code for SWFs?
Do the same Captivate SWFs start automatically if you upload them to your web server individually with the HTM and JS files that Captivate creates? If not, then your web developer might be better off embedding the content in his web page using individual iframes pointing at the HTM file rather than the method he previously chose.

Large .dv file plays fine in Quicktime, but audio out of sync in iMovie??

hi,
i'm trying to convert some old analog 8mm tapes to digital. to do this, i'm using a sony trv320 camcorder with firewire feeding iMovie '08. i've imported an entire 2 hour tape into iMovie, and everything is fine except that at some point, the audio gets out of sync from the picture. i've opened the huge 24 GB .dv file in Quicktime, and everything is in sync, so I assume this is some kind of problem related to iMovie. i've done lots of searching on this and have made sure that the camcorder is sending 16 bit audio out. i also tried using mpeg streamclip to split the huge .dv file into smaller parts, but this resulted in the same audio sync problem (which is weird).
is my only option to manually import my tapes 10 minutes at a time? please say no
the most puzzling thing about this is that the huge .dv file is perfectly in sync all the way through when playing back in Quicktime.
i'm at a loss!! hope someone can help.

I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.

Mp4 and/or .mov files play on my computer but not on host server

I created a movie page using iWeb. When I save it and publish it to a local folder on my computer it works fine. But when I upload it to the server with my host company (not mobileme) the video does not play at all.
I've been on the phone with the host company and they say the file is too large (90mb) and it takes way too long to load. Another person at the same host company told me that the file had to be converted from mp4 to swf (cant find a free converter to do that with to test it) and lastly I've read and tried some of the post here but they don't work.
When I check the website on a PC thru IE, it gave me an exclamation mark on the bottom left hand corner of the browser. I clicked on it and here is the error:
self[...].src' is null or not an object
iWebSite.js line 496
I check google for this error but I cannot understand what the problem is.
If there is anyone out there that can help I would really appreciate it.
thanks
d.

The file is a bit big and you would be better to upload it to somewhere like YouTube or Vimeo.
The suggestion that you convert it to flash is because this is a more universally acceptable format. A lot of PC users don't have QuickTime player installed.

.MOV files play in Quicktime 7, but not in Quicktime 10.2

Hi,
I recently upgraded to OS X 10.8.2. I have the newest Quicktime (10.2) and Quicktime 7 (Pro). There seems to be a problem with Quicktime 10.2. It opens, but cannot play, my .mov files. Quicktime 7 still plays them perfectly, though.
Any thoughts on how to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks!
-AO

There's nothing to fix.
QuickTime 10 can't play all of the formats (codecs) that play just fine in QuickTime Player 7.
Use both versions.

.mov files play on my computer but not on friend's....

I burned several QuickTimePro-created .mov files to a DVD which I then sent to a friend. When she received it, she was unable to play any of the files and was directed to a webpage with lots of 3rd party plugins with no clear idea which one was needed.
Under Info on the files I see they are encoded with Sorenson H.263, MPEG Layer 3.
My friend has regular QuickTime (not Pro).
Thanks!

Thanks for your help.
She tried that but still no luck.
When she tries to play the file, QuickTime launches, bringing up a black box with no video or sound. After trying the maneuver you suggested, the only difference was that a progress bar appeared at the bottom of the black box and moved, as if a video was playing. However, still no video or sound.
Hmmm.....

Mov file plays ok in quicktime but video is black in final cut

I'm using Final Cut Pro X - just installed the newest version 10.1.3 and applied all updates.
I have a .mov file that plays fine with QuickTime 7 - but when I import the file into Final Cut pro only the audio imports. All video frames are black.
Not all .mov files do this - I have another that worked just fine.
The file was created 7 years ago - probably with Final Cut Studio 2 (I no longer have any older version of FinalCut).
Here is the info from the file that is causing problems:
Screenshot of the import:
Screenshot of same file opened in QuickTime - with Inspector open:
Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?
Thanks -

Thank you!
Looking at the properties in QT7 shows 2 Video tracks - I disabled the second and that corrected the problem - although it does show that it doesn't start until after the 1st Video track is over. But, I can work with this - thank you.

Cp8.0 html5 file plays fine in chrome, but moving the timeline button causes audio to vanish. what to do?

I have created a session with a combination of ppt slides with audio, and also a screen capture with audio and put it all together and published in html5. seems to work fine, i can open it on my computer by clicking on the html5 file (chrome and IE.) Moving the continuous scroll pointer often causes the audio to not be played. I know I can advance with forward and reverse buttons, that works ok. (Refreshing the html5 file in the browser fixes things and goes back to start) This opens up many questions for a novice like myself:
1. Am I posting this in the right place?
2. Is the timeline button shown only to be admired from afar, and not touched ?
3. Has this been fixed in 8.1 ?
4. I don't want or need scalable window sizes ( 1300 by 720 is fine,) so should i not use html5 at all ? I want it to work on IE, Chrome, and Firefox.

thanks. i see i need to explain better:
I am describing the browser window as it appears if you simple display the html5 file that is created by publishing. I have not added a single button or feature to control movement. my project consists of slides with audio that advance after so many seconds, a captured screen sesssion, more slides, and a quiz. The buttons for play, forward, backward, and the horizontal progress bar with the 'button' (upward pointing triangle) are all native to the html that is being displayed and 'played.'
Now, seeing that displayed, a user would be tempted to hit these buttons and to move the linear time by grabbing and moving the triangle pointer. sometimes this works perfectly, but sometimes moving the pointer causes audio to disappear and it will not play again on any slide. is this a clear description of the problem ? I do not understand some of your comments, but it seems that we were not on the same page, so it seems ok not to understand. FYI, my published ~10 minute sessions are about ~20 MB for all files and folders.
8.1 doesn't exist. i see, my mistake. i meant 8.0.1
I do not need anything but a screen with 1300x720 resolution, so i will try going to SWF. I am recording a session to teach a software tool that is based on the eclipse environment, and the screen capture includes many graphics and much text, so any scaling whatsoever makes it ugly and hard to read. At one point i may have been thinking of scalable windows, but i realize now it is the last thing i need. The quality of the capture is excellent with 1300x720 ( and since 720 is native for powerpoint, i have no scaling in either ppoint or the captured screen sessions.

Mov file plays well on PC but not on MAC!

A friend of mine converted a video in QT on his PC and it plays perfectly fine on any PC but when i play that same file on QT for OS X the audio is sped up and is out of sync from the video.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Robert Emery

No, the Mac only displays ONE menu bar also if you connect two monitors. You can select the monitor which should display the menu bar in System Preferences -> Displays.
Also there is a tool called Secondbar? But never tried it myself.
