Embedded video problem

I'm having trouble with both Safari and Firefox playing embedded, non-quicktime content. YouTube has become useless as all that comes up is a Quicktime logo with a question mark over it. I have the latest registered version of Quicktime and the latest free version of Adober Flash Player. I installed Flash and everything worked in Firefox, then when I opened the program later after quitting I got the same Q and ? on all embedded video pages I loaded. I'm near the point of throwing my iMac across the room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I've done this once, I've done it 50 times, and still no QT in Safari...! Am completely stumped. Have latest QT, Flash Player, and OS X 10.4.10, and have followed all the hints given on this topic, and still no QT video. Sound works fine, and videos play fine in Firefox, by the way.

this is very strange. i cannot get any sound w/ Flash Player
9 in Internet Explorer (IE) with playing embedded video. problem
occurs with many websites with embedded youtube or other flash
videos. when those sites are loaded, the sound bar was set to zero,
but there is no sound even if i drag it to a higher level. yet,
when the same video is played from youtube directly, it works
perfectly.
when i uninstall Flash 8 or 9 and reinstall an older version
such as Flash 7, the sound plays perfectly without problem in all
website wth the sound bar set to the correct level.
i am running win xp professional sp2. latest updates/patches
installed. ie 6.
i have tried the following:

latest build - does not work.

No embedded video (empty bar) in FF ver. 15 32bit. Sound plays. Flash ver. 11.4.402.265. No problems in IE. Windows 7 x64.

Installed FF 15 (32 bit) on a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition (x64).
Everything works fine except the embedded video.
The video clip thumbnail is shown, when clicking on the clip the sound plays and the right-mouse click shows flash player options, but no video is shown (empty bar).
No problems on original YouTube or other flash video sites were detected.
No crashes detected.
Please, advise.

1) Started the FF in Safe Mode.
The embedded video works normally (!!!)
2) Re-started the FF in normal mode - got the problem.
3) Disabled ALL plugins and ALL add-ons (except the flash player) in Normal Mode - got the problem (once again, ALL plugins / add-ons were disabled).
Safe Mode - everything works.
Normal Mode - problem occurs (with no relation to disabling plugins / add-ons).
Looks like there's something built-in FF which has the problem with showing embedded video normally in FF Normal Mode.

Embedded Video Audio Sync Problem

I have been exporting Flash Video from Adobe Premiere
Elements 3.0. I import the .FLV into Flash 8 as embedded video. The
published .SWF works fine, audio and video start in sync and stay
in sync, but about 3/4 through the video, audio stops.
This occurs no matter how short or long the exported clip.
I did my best searching through these forums, looking for an
answer to this issue, but have had no success.

Do you need to embed the FLV file in the SWF file? I would
recommend playing the FLV as an external file. If you need to use
embedded video, make sure the frame rates are identical (SWF and
FLV). I can't remember if Premiere Elements enables you to output
with Raw audio for FLV files, but Flash 8 (or CS3) will recompress
an embedded video's audio track on publish/export--so, try to use
Raw if you can to avoid recompression. This might have something to
do with your problem too, the recompression of the MP3 audio track
in your original FLV when re-exporting as embedded video in the
SWF. (Your audio stream setttings in the Publish Settings control
the quality/recompression of your FLV output when embedded in the
SWF.)
HTH.

Embedded Flash Video Problem

I'm using DWCS3. Could someone take a look at the source on this page and hopefully give me some idea why the embedded video won't show, much less play, on IE and Firefox? It displays and plays fine in Chrome and Safari. All the scripts and everything else have been uploaded to the server. I'm stumped.

Hi Larry,
there is no problem with your video in my IE8, see my screenshot:
Maybe you just have to wait a little bit longer, so that your processor can show the video. If you want to correct something (my IE8 shows it in this manner), maybe you can increase the contrast of your text a little bit.

Problems with embedded video

Thanks Dave
Re the no controls in SWF problem, I did try adding the SWF resources. Camtasia places all the products of production in a folder, I loaded the main swf as the media and went Add Resources and added everything else, but still no controls appear when it runs. Camtasia has Preview option available at the production stage and I ran this and it showed controls.
Re the clip extending beyond window problem, Is there some way of posting a picture of the troublesome window? I tried a few tests. Firstly I embedded the clip with floating window and the default window size (320 * 240). It ran fine (although the clip was way too small) with the clip centred in the window, black bars on the right and left between the clip edge and the window boundary, with clip extending to the top and bottom of window. Next I doubled the window size, everything OK again but clip too small. I trebled the window size, still OK. When I set the window at four times default size (1280*960) the problem occurred. It looks exactly like the clip is extending beyond the right hand border of the window. You can see the windows’ X (close window) button on its to right corner, but it’s about an inch (to the left) in from the clips top right corner. It looks like there may be some maximum window size.
Thanks again.
I am very new to embedded video so forgive my ignorance here. I am creating clips with Camtasia and embedding them in a pdf with Acrobat pro X. I have tried SWF and MP4. The clips are large so I have set them to run in a floating window. There are two issues:
Although I have set the Width and Height slightly larger than the clip, I get a black band up the right hand side and the clip appears to extend beyond the Right hand side.
No matter what settings I use, when I embed a SWF I get no controllers when the clip runs.

Thanks Dave

Re the clip extending beyond window problem I think I have worked out whats happening. The clip was definitely extending beyond the right hand edge of the Window. You can see the windows’ X (close window) button on its to right corner, but it’s about an inch in from the clips top right corner. However I experimented with various window sizes, smaller sizes worked fined but big windows created the problem. Then I noticed that when I moved the window, it is not fully floating on the desktop,as is the case with an avi loaded from a hyperlink, but floats in the pdf document. As I stretched the pdf's right hand edge (made the pdf window bigger) the extent to which the clip extended beyond the clip window decreased until it disappeared. I can understand that if the pdf window is too small you won't be able to see all the clip window, but something still seems a bit wrong here to me. If you have the pdf window maximised the clip appears centred in the clip window. If you drag the clip window to the right the window and clip remain together as they disappear beyond the pdf window. This is the behaviour I would expect to see in a smaller pdf window, it seems wrong that as you shrink the pdf window that the clip window shrinks in a manner which is out of sync with the shrinking of the clip itself, which is what happens. I can send a picture or avi if you like.
Thanks

Keynote - problem with playback of embedded video

Hi All - I have embedded a .m4v movie in to my slide show (I 'dropped' it in). I check it - all looks fine as I want it to and I then record it. I export it as a Quick Time Movie.
But on playing the movie of the Keynote slide show after it has recorded, the embedded video just appears as a black square with no image and a few seconds of faint speech.
I have searched forums but a clear answer has not appeared.
Please advise me on what to do!
Thank You!

Hi Gary, well, things have now become a bit more complicated....... For some reason I can not locate the original project in iMovie...... (If you have any light to shed any light on that too - that would be great as I did nothing after Exporting. Assumed I'd saved it - though it automatically saves anyway - I thought.....)
So, I have had to import the already converted m4v back in to iMovie as an Event and then re Export as per your suggested H264.
Dropped back in to Keynote. Played the Slide Show. All fine. Recorded it.
Played it back and all there is, again, is a muffled sound track and a black box with nothing happening at all!
So, the glitch seems to be in the interface with the recording. It does, at ground level play within Keynote but the exporting and sharing is what I am requiring it for.
I really do need this film to work. Any further suggestions please?
Thank You.

Problems with embedded Video in Safari

I have an issue when I try to open an embedded video within either safari.
I can not open anything, and if the embedded video is Quicktime based, I just get the large 'Q' (Quicktime) sitting in the middle and no video.
Can anyone help or tell me how I fix my Plugins within the browser please?
Many Thanks
Gary

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Embedded video sound problem

Hi all,
This is my first time here...I embedded a youtube video into
my yahoo 360 blog and while the video works fine, I cannot hear
sound...I've rechecked all my flashplayer settings..everything
seems to be in order. All my visitors can hear the sound fine.
I can hear the youtube videos on the youtube site.....just
not on yahoo 360 or myspace.com
Any ideas of what I could try?
Thanks,
aka

Found a solution... I saved my audio and video separately,
then embedded video but put audio in the timeline, now they play
together.
If anyone can point me to the pref that makes my exported
video only play 1x that would be great! i would like it to end on
the final logo and not return to the beginning....
Thanks!!

Embedded videos do not show up on certain webstites.

Embedded videos on certain websites (perezhilton.com) do not appear. I have downloaded Firefox's most recent update and that is when the problem started. I downloaded Google Chrome and the videos do appear and work fine on that browser.

You may have to install additional plugins.

Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.
Dave

Hi Yogidave,
It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
In understanding what you tried:
I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)

T400 - Video problems and a long wait for repair...

Hi,
I'd just like to state my experience with Lenovo Customer Support for a video problem with my T400. Bottom line, as of today, it's been around 27 business days that it's been with Lenovo, and 41 days total since it's failed on me, and nobody, including Lenovo Customer Support, seems to know what its status is exactly, except that they're waiting on a part which has no ETA.
In July 2009, I bought a T400, a 2764CTO version with the switchable graphics between the internal intel graphics and the ATI GPU.
All was well until February 1st, 2010, when the LCD sudden wouldn't work. Well, it would work, but the screen was very very dim, even with the display maxed out on brightness. You would have literally bring your nose to the screen in order to even make out any text or images - definitely unusable. However, if you hooked up an external monitor via the video output, the T400 would display video output properly that way. When I did this, I noticed that the switchable graphics option wasn't there any more - couldn't switch to the ATI GPU. Based on this, I figured it must be a video card or LCD issue, or a combination of both.
So, I called Lenovo Customer Support (CS) at 1-800-565-3344, since I'm up here in Canada, and I initially was issued a case number of 41JRFSD, and I agreed to send it to a local Lenovo Repair Centre. Oops, my bad, I made a mistake using the locator tool I was told to use at bplocator.lenovo.com, and thought the Centre was relatively close. Not quite. So, I called Lenovo CS again, and they issued me with a new case number, 40KWSYF, and said they'd send a box for return to depot. And within 2 days, Feb 2nd or 3rd, I got a Purolator courier return box. That's fast service! Pleased, I put my T400 in according to instructions, and I sent it off.
Fast forward to about mid-February. I called Lenovo CS, and apparently there was a delay - the depot needed a part that wasn't in stock. Fine, I know these things can happen - I'll wait.
Fast forward to March 1st. I talk to a Lenovo CS rep, and it appears that the part needed has arrived, and they've put a rush order to get the computer back to me. Great!
Fast forward to March 8th, still no computer. I talk to another Lenovo CS rep... strange, there's no update. The issue gets escalated to the Depot managers.
Fast forward to March 12th. Still no word on my T400's status. An email fron CS has been sent to the depot. Not even the CS reps know what's going on. The rep I talk to figures there should be a response by the end of the day.
Fast forward to today, March 13th, 4:50pm Pacific Time. I just finish talking to Lenovo CS, there's been no response from the depot. Apparently there's a part that they're waiting on for repairs, but there's no ETA on it. Is it the same part that I've waiting on all this time? Is it a new one? I don't know.
At this point, I've been told to send an email explaining my situation, and I've also been told to talk to Scott the next time I call CS on Monday after 3pm Eastern. I have to stress that the Lenovo Customer Support Reps I've talked to have all been very sympathetic and have been courteous, helpful, and professional - something I appreciate from having worked in Customer Support myself. But the bottom line remains: my computer's not back to me.
So, my questions to the community here: is my experience here typical? Is there any hope of my seeing my computer back, or even at least just the hard drive? I've used Lenovo computers for work for the past 7 years, and it was my good work experiences that led me to buying a Lenovo for home use. However, it's been a while since I've been without my T400, and I was hoping to get my taxes done on the computer too, since they're due at the end of March. I'll reserve judgement on Lenovo until I get my computer back, but at this point, all I can say is... I'm disappointed.
If you're reading this, I'll let you judge my experience for youself. I'll update my case as it progresses.
Thanks!

Hi all,
So, an update with some good news: my computer is finally back!
After a total of over 40 business days (just over 2 months) I finally have my T400 back at home, working again!
According to the spec sheets, the repair depot had to replace: the systemboard/planar, display/LCD panel, LCD cable, PC card, bluetooth, and the inverter. BIOS/Embedded controller was also updated, along with the regular diagnostics to ensure everything was working properly.
I give Lenovo credit though: they got the final parts to repair the computer on Monday, April 5th, and shipped my computer back to me for the next day (today, April 6th). That's fast service, once repaired!
However, my case spans over 4 screens of updates and repair depot orders of parts.
Also, it took me over 10 calls to Lenovo's Customer Service, plus an escalation to a higher-level manager after 1 month had passed, to get progress updates and ETAs for repair.
Lenovo called me only once to give me an update, and that was the manager whom my issue was escalated to: all the other times, I called Lenovo for an update.
The story doesn't end here, however:
In talking to Customer Support, they told me that Sales might be able to sell me an extended warranty at a discount, given the issues I had. And indeed, after talking to Sales, they offered me a 1 year warranty extension at a price of just over $100 CDN, plus tax. This is a sale price, compared to the regular retail of $129. Unfortunately, they can't sell me just one month.
At this point, I refused their offer, and again escalated to a manager to request an extension of exactly 1 month on my existing warranty. I figure 1 month delay in repairs, that's plausible - crap happens, and while most repairs take 5-10 business days, I can understand it can sometimes go higher. Two months though.... My request for a warranty extension is being considered by the manager it was escalated to.
So, one last question for you folks reading this: am I being unreasonable, talking to Lenovo support one more time to request a 1 month extension of my warranty, given the length of time it's taken for repairs? I'll post the response Lenovo will give me tomorrow, as they've said they'll do.
One thing for sure: Lenovo's response will definitely influence my choice of brand from whom to buy a new computer (and it will influence the choice of my friends who've heard my issues, and maybe yours too). My particular repair problem may not come up often, but if it does happen to you, I'd be happy to know of your experience.
Thanks for sticking with me through the drama!

After updating to Flash version 11.6.602.171 - can no longer play any embedded videos..and worse

To begin with, I'm running a clean AMD 64 Bit Windows 7 System. Never any problems with any of my video playing scenarios - until now - with this version 11.6.602.171.
After downloading and installing both versions - both for Firefox (other browsers) and IE, none of my browsers can play videos unless they are at their lowest resolution of 240.
So I used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller and ensured that the last vestages of Flash Player were removed - and reinstalled - all to no avail.
Then I downloaded the archived version of 10.3 to see if a previous version would work. But that wouldn't work either. None of my browsers will play videos now and I'm talking:
IE 10
Firefox 19.01
Avant Browser
Google Chrome
Google Chromium
Commodo Dragon
Commodo Ice Dragon
Opera
Waterfox
Pale Moon
None will play the video.
What you get is the video screen but unless you have a 240 option (lowest resolution), all you get is a green screen. You hear the talking/music, but there is no picture and all the green screen does is flash. Here's a JPG of the screen. If you put your cursor anywhere on the progress meter (arrow) it will show you a small image of what's supposed to be playing (see below), but the screen remains green and flashes while playing.
Now here is where it gets interesting. When I completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then go to a You Tube embedded video (on any site), there first appears a screen that tells you that you need a plug-in - but then within seconds (without downloading anything), the movie starts playing normally.
I then checked my Firewall (Zone Alarm) - turned it off temporarily - that wasn't the problem. Then checked my latest version of Avast AntiVirus software and temporarily turned it off - that was not the problem either. The videos still won't work and remain green unless you use the lowest resolution.
So this new version 11.6.602.171 has become a nightmare - but I'm afraid it messed up my system big time and I don't know what to do to alleviate this.
Crying HELP!!!!!!!!!!   Is there something I'm overlooking. I'm now screwed - way to go Adobe for releasing such a faulty software product.

If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.
