Embedding flv file

I want to embed a flv video file into a html page. The flv
file is approx. 40MB. I embed the video using the insert > media
> flash video command in Dreamweaver CS3. Everything works fine,
but: As soon as the page is loaded in a browser, it starts
downloading the flv-file, although the autoplay parameter is set to
false. Needless to say that this gives problems with my limited
bandwidt (2GB/mo). How can I prevent the page from downloading the
video as long the user did not clicked the 'play' button. Any other
tips to make this page bandwidth-friendly?
regards,
Peter, Belgium.

You need to use the flv play back component to load the flv.
Open a new flash doc, open the Components window, and drag a
FLVPlayback
component onto the stage. In the Component Inspector window,
there will be prameters for auto play, and the content path which
you set to the flv name. Once you do that, it will auto size to
hold the video. Size your stage accordingly. The swf you publish
will load the flv.
When you use a swf to load the flv, it will be streamed and
will not have to download.

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,
Aza

Safari tells me that this file -

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

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.

Black embedded FLV files Video data lost

I am building a number of animations within 8 different
scenes, which will ultimately compile into an exe file.
The major problem I am having is with the numerous FLV files
that are embedded into the timeline. No audio is going to be used.
I created the FLVs in After Effects 7 from PNG sequences. RANDOMLY
when i am working on the animations and keep saving (by
incrementing file versions), the FLVs go black and in the
properties panel it says 0.0Kb of video data. What is going on???
If the exe is exported and played, I get a crash - macromedia flash
player 8.0 r22 has encountered a problem and needs to close. The
only way to fix it, is to keep reimporting the flvs.
Please help Adobe and community. Thankyou in advance for your
responses. :o)

What happens if he makes you an intermediate file in something other than h.264?
For the record, that's not an ideal choice for an intermediate codec. Is there a reason you can't use the native .r3d file?

EXE embeds FLV files

Hello, I am making an exe file that has 6 FLV files called. When I make a project like this in Director, it
calls to the FLVS or other video files, rather than EMBEDDING them and bloating the file.
I don't see any option in captivate to make exe files "call" the videos instead of making one big
file.
Does anyone know a setting to change this? I really enjoy using captivate to make mini
presentations for CD, and they would run a lot better if it did not embed the FLV files.
Thanks,
Stephanie

Hi there
I think there were some issues earlier that seem to have resolved themselves at this point. For a while, I couldn't get to anything Adobe related!
I can't imagine how much bandwidth and traffic their sites generate. It has to be huge!
I'm not trying to be an Adobe apologist, but I stand constantly amazed at how well it seems to work, given the scope!
Cheers... Rick

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.

Variable aspect ratios in embedded FLV files

Please forgive any and all N00b blunders. The forum to which I thought I should post this question did not permit me to post. I am embedding flash video on web pages. When the flash player is first activated, it displays the video with an incorrect aspect ratio. However, when the page is reloaded, the video displays correctly. This seems rather peculiar. Is there some sort of error I am making in setting up the files and player?

I have asked my IT to check. But how could I find out what the correct settings would be?

Viewing embedded FLV files on web

The files play in the "preview in browser" function in DW, but do not seem to work when viewed on the web. All files are saved to the server and only exist there, so it doesn't seem to be due to files not being uploaded. the file in question is

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.

How to place a Flash swf file with a movie FLV file embedded in DW

     My hair is getting shorter by the hour or maybe missing. I have created a SWF file with Flash 8 that has an embedded FLV file that was created from a MP4 file.   The SWF file works perfectly in FLASH including my Flash nav buttons, and the movie with soundtrack and the buttons for control of volume and start stop. Now I am ready to place it on the web using DW to make the html page. What happens when I test the page on FireFox or IE is the background loads, the buttons load but do not work properly anymore but worse than that: The slide show and the control buttons do not even show up.
     I am also having trouble defining my site locally. I select new site and tell it where every thing is but no luck. All in the same directory, right now I have a image directory but I have not used them on the page as the only image is a jpg and flv file and they are embedded in the swf file.
     I know this is 2 different programs but the Flash files need to be placed in a HTML file to be uploaded, and I have to text them first.
HELP

from the Premiere Pro Help section about importing SWF files:
" Interactive content and scripted animation are not retained. Animation defined by keyframes in the main, top-level movie is retained."

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.

Multiple .flv files out of syc after first video

On a PC with W7, office 2010 and CP6.
When embedding multiple .flv files in CP6, and running the published html5 presentation off my local drive, only first .flv file is in sync after publishing in html5. The 2nd .flv video is out of sync.
I’m running CP6 on a PC with several information slides and one slide with an embedded .flv file. Then a few more information slides and a second slide with another embedded .flv file. Preview mode looks fine on both videos. The original mp4 videos that I imported into CP6 which it converted to .flv files works fine as well.
When I publish the file in html5 only, and launch the file off a local drive the first video runs fine but the second one is out of sync. Repeated publishing doesn’t help. I’ve inserted other videos and the same problem occurs on the second video. Also the control bars that I put below the .flv video don’t show up in hmtl5 published format.
Why is the second video out of sync. My goal is to have 4-5 short .flv embedded videos in the presentation with information slides preceding each video.
When I go to the published folder:
and click individually on the videos the first one runs fine, the second one is out of sync – same as when I launch the index.htm file off my local drive.
When I copy the files to my Mac, and run off the local drive I have the same problem.
Need some help here.

Could be the encoding. Never heard of that software.
You could possibly convert the files in iTunes by right clicking and choosing conversion for AppleTv option but that takes time and will only work for things iTunes can play natively. There may be better options but MPEGStreamclip is a versatile free video converter as I believe is the latest version of the Handbrake utility.

Adding FLV files GET RID of the skins?

Can I add HTML to my embedded FLV file to NOT have a skin?
This is what is there right now. Seems if I change SKINNAME to None

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?

Embedding a FLV file

Info:
Apple Mac
OS 10.5.1
Dreamweaver 8
Hi there,
I am attempting to embed a FLV file into a HTML document (an
editable region based on a template) however when embedding the
video the following message comes up: Making this change would
require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator.
The change will be discarded.
I don't understand why the message comes up as where I am
trying to insert the FLV is in an editable region. Also I have also
tried to use the tutorial
Presenting
Video with the Flash Video Component in Dreamweaver 8 and get
the same message. Now I would like to think when doing a tutorial,
especially an Adobe one - nothing should go wrong, so I'm stuck to
think why this message would show up on a help file as well.
Any ideas anyone? Obviously I need this to work as this is
the only way to embed a Flash video file in Dreamweaver.
Many thanks in advance.
