Embedding mp4 Video

When we embed mp4 videos into a web page they run fine on
MACs but will not run on IE. They also run on Foxfire. What can I
do to make this work on IE?

Are you sure you have the appropriate codec for IE? If you
are successful running it on Firefox and Safari most likely
Quicktime codec is being used, if IE is set to windows media
player, you may want to download the appropriate codecs.

  • Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
    1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
    2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
    Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

  • What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

    What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
    Thanks

    Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
    For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
         var video:Video;
         var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
         connect_nc.connect(null);
         var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
         stream_ns.client = this;
         function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {  
             if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
                 stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
         stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
         video = new Video();
         addChild(video);
         video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
         stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
    For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well.  Place the following code in the timeline...
         fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
         function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
             fp.play();
    To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page.  Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

  • PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

    I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

    Hi there
    One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach
    Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Can't play the embedded mp4 video in SWF

    Hi, I am creating a basic webpage for the first time. I have successfully inserted a SWF flash player in Dreamweaver, however I am unable to play a mp4 video that is embedded in my swf flashplayer within Dreamweaver web page.
    Message was edited by: Madalsa Tested and previewed the exported SWF on stand alone basis, there I am able to play the embedded mp4 video.  Any ideas will be appreciated.

    I don't mean to impose or anything, but I'm in dire need of help. I've been trying to understand your directions, but to no avail.
    I'm trying to get my embedded .mp4 video to play in my .sfw video on my webpage...  I know that  you said that firefox won't play .mp4 vidoes, and recommend converting it into a ogg.
    The thing confusing me is that... I'm not sure which file I should be converting here... Infact I did convert the .mp4 into a ogg well actually it's a .ogv(confused here also), but am i suppose to convert the .sfw file as well? And how would I setup it up in your first example(i ask this question again below)
    The .mp4 file was 20131122_123440.mp4 , now it's 20131122_123440.ogv and the .swf file is secondtime.swf
    This is the coding I have below set up for my website:
    <!doctype html>
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    </head>
    <body  bgcolor="blue">
    <table width="1001" height="420" align="center">
    <tr>
    <td></br>
    <p align="center">
    <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" name="0" width=1000 height=420 align="middle" id=0>
    <param name="movie" value="secondtime.swf" />
    <param name="menu" value="false" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" />
    <embed src="secondtime.swf" menu="false" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width=1000 height=420 name="0" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
    </object>
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    Now if I was to simply to put it in this example below:
    <video controls>
      <source src="foo.mp4" type="video/mp4">
      <source src="foo.ogg" type="video/ogg">
      Your browser does not support the <code>video</code> element.
    </video>
    How would I be able to get it to work?
    Also, I've read that it could be a pathing issue as well.... Because when I run the video as a test from my computer into firefox it plays the flvplayback (which was the .mp4, and maybe I should of mentioned this in the beginning?), and it works fine.. I placed the .html and the .sfw and the .mp4 in the same folder to try to get it to work, but it doesn't work online, and  I noticed that once I put the .mp4 back on my desktop it plays the video fine in the test run fine... Maybe I should put the .ogv file into the folder instead? I don't even know how that would work.
    Thank you for taking your time out to read this, I really apprecaite it!!! Sorry for the lack of understanding as well!

  • How to disable player controls when embedding mp4 video?

    I am trying to embed a mp4 video in a web page. Is there a tag for hiding the player's controls? I want my video to loop without any display of the player controls. Also, if anyone knows of some sample code for embedding .mp4 with all available tags I would sure like to see it.
    Thanks,

  • Problems with playback of embedded .mp4 videos in PDF

    I am creating an ebook that has embedded videos that I made in Premiere Pro CS4. 
    They play back great in the PDF on my iMAC but when I email the pdf to my Windows laptop, the videos barely play!  The Windows laptop has Acrobat 9 reader installed. 
    I have tried embedding the videos with the multimedia tool using the Flash format and also using the Legacy Multimedia Content option.
    Why does Windows have so much trouble with the playback!?  Most of my customers probably have Windows computers so I need to get this resolved.
    Any thoughts?????

    I'm using the Video Tool because the videos are .mp4 format.  In the Insert Video dialog box it mentions that "Your multimedia will be converted to Flash format to ensure consistent playback across multiple platforms using Adobe Reader 9 or later."
    Do you think it would be better to convert the videos to Flash and use the Flash Tool?

  • Can someone help? Adding a playbar to embedded mp4 video and publishing to html 5

    Hi everyone, I am having a hard time finding a solution. I am sure someone MUST have gone through this same challenge.
    We have some lessons we want to convert to html 5.  These lessons have embedded swfs, which we converted to mp4's. The problem now is that the embedded mp4s do not display with a playbar INSIDE of Captivate when we publish to HTML 5.  The videos needs a playbar for users to control what they are seeing on the screen. Any ideas on how I can have the mp4s have a playbar in Captivate?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    This is a known issue with Adobe Captivate 6 and already passed to concerned team.

  • I have a problem playing embedded .mp4 video files on safari? Any solutions to be able to watch these videos?

    There is an important training website which I've to watch the videos on them cannot play on safari because it says that it doesn't support mp4 videos? Any solutions? Because I really need to play and watch these videos via my ipad4.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Best app for viewing pptx with embedded mp4 videos?

    Hello,
    I have some large powerpoint presentations (25-500MB) that have some embedded videos in that I would like to view on my iPad3.
    The powerpoints are in .pptx format (MS Office 2010) and the videos are in .mp4 format.
    Can anyone suggest any apps that can open and view this type of file combination? (large, .pptx, .mp4)
    Thanks

    Well, if they are important photos i would recommend getting a real camera, the best you can afford. The iPhone camera is good for a cell phone camera, but can't match even simple point and shoot cameras. There are several reasons:
    -The lens is too small
    -The image sensor is too small
    -No optical zoom (digital zoom is a fraud; all it does is crop when you take the picture, rather than after)
    -The flash is too weak for more than about 5 feet
    -No white balance tuning
    -No image management
    All of these features are resolved in pocket sized cameras from Canon, Nikon, etc. But again, if the pictures are really important to you and quality matters, get an SLR with optical quality lenses.

  • How can I keep the quality of an MP4 video high when I export an interactive PDF from InDesign?

    I am making an Interactive PDF with embedded MP4 video using InDesign.  When I view the video in the PDF it has degraded the quality and the colour contrast is poorly affected.  I can have the video as a floating window but this gives a harsh black line around the video when it plays which is not acceptable.
    Can anyone advise how to maintain the quality of the original video when it is embedded?

    You can control the quality of the video (aspect ratio, pixel dimensions, frames/minute, etc.) by using the Adobe Media Encoder which comes with InDesign CS5 or later installations, including InDesign CC. InDesign only includes what you have placed and passes it on to the PDF file. There are no video quality controls in InDesign.
    You cannot change the way Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader displays the MP4. If you don't like the way Acrobat/Reader handles display of a floating window, then you'll have to display it within the page. For more info, inquire in the Rich Media Acrobat forum.

  • Trouble playing .MP4 video embedded in html5 in UIWebview

    this opens html pages without including video into it, but when video is present its not getting played.

    The issue is with the iOS 5 and if you try to play the video in iOS 6 it will solve the problem

  • 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 embed and play mp4 video in HTML AIR application?

    Adobe Air HTML / JS application compiled from SDK command line.  I am not using flash pro or flash builder to create the application.
    I was using dreamweaver but the dw air plugin seems to have stopped being developed so I switched to using the command line tools.
    I am creating desktop air application that has embedded mp3 audio and also I want to embed mp4 video.
    Using jQuery and the AIR js plugin I am able to play audio via buttons hooked up via jQuery and the AIR js plugin from the SDK.
    What I am doing is creating proofs for clients in AIR and sending link to the client to download the application.  I embed the media because I do not want to place them on a website where it could possibly be seen by non-clients and get picked up in the SE's.
    I am finding it hard to understand the AIR process for playing video.  I read that it is the same procedure as audio but it does not work.
    If it was hosted on youtube or somewhere embedding the web player would be simple, just copy paste some code and it works.  When actually embedding the video say mp4, f4v, mov, wmv or similar file formats I can't get AIR to play the video.  Audio, not a problem it works great.
    I would like to do the following with video.
    Embed the actual file in the AIR app.  I can do this, it gets embedded.
    Play, pause and stop the video - Can't get this to work
    Get the current stop point and be able to start the video by sending a start point - This is all working with audio I just want to do it with video.
    I have searched the forums, the search engines, youtube and read through the documentation on Air but the video does not work at all.
    I need code samples and direction on how to make an embedded video play inside of a desktop air application using the HTML / JS air model. I am using the command line tools to create the air package and test the air app.
    Please help if you have figured this out.
    Thank you.
    Not sure if this matters but I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit as my development machine.

    In addition I also can not get html5 video to play in the adobe air app.  Would this issue be tied to the above?

    Do you have another program that can convert videos? Presenter's video conversion tool has always been a minimal application, and gives you little control over the settings and quality of the output.
    Video conversion tools were recently discussed here, and RDziuban ended up using Handbrake, which is free, to convert their videos to MP4. This remvoed the encoder in Presenter, and allows you to to have full control over the settings for the re-encoded video.
