Encoding a Flash Video - Video noise problem in a few areas - any way to fix ?
Hello All;
I posted a question to the Flash Video encoder forum but only got 1 read after the entire day so i figured it was not visited often so I'm posting my question in this area which I hope gets more traffic.
I am desperately trying to encode a video using the Flash Media encoder. I am starting out with a pristine-looking quicktime file. I have two versions - a 720 X 480 version, and a version 1/2 that resolution. When I perform the encoding even with the best quality, a few of the objects in the scene exhibit some video noise (Not sure if that's what you'd call it). I have attached a video (See below) that I'm trying to encode that has the problem. The problem occurs very early in the video - probably 15-30 seconds in or less so it will not take long for you to see it. Take a look at the American Flag on the astronaut's flightsuit and see if you can explain what is causing this and more importantly, is there anything I can do to prevent this video noise in a few of the on-screen objects ?
Video is at this link ... http://www.dedula.net/lfsemaa/longfellow%20ael%20dedication.html
Thanks a lot for any help and advice you can priovide.

If you know the name of the Event where the clips are stored, try this:
Quit iMovie. Go to Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Events > (find the Event folder name that matches).
Drag that folder first to the Desktop, moving it out of the iMovie Events folder
Now download a program called MPEG Streamclip. The idea here is you will attempt to convert the videos in that Event Folder into a format iMovie uses natively to edit, and display video accurately down to the 1/30th of a second inside of iMovie.
Launch MPEG Streamclip. Now go into the Events folder you moved to the Desktop, drag one of the video clips from that Event folder into the open application window in Streamclip.
Question #1: Does the video playback in Streamclip when you move the playhead back and forth or simply click the play button?
If it does, then go to the File Menu > Export to QuickTime... In the settings window click on the pulldown menu and for Compression: choose Apple Intermediate Codec. And for the frame rate type in 30:
Then click Make Movie, save it to a new folder on your desktop. Convert each on of the clips in that Events folder using this method. Saving it each time into a the same folder.
Once you have your clips converted, quit Streamclip, now open iMovie. Import your newly converted clips into a new Event Folder in iMovie and see if they react differently than before. You should have thumbnails and be able to skim the clips without any difficulty now.

I edited a bunch of clips taken from my Iphone, some vertical some horizontal. I put them together on Final Cut Pro but when uploaded to youtube, the clips recorded vertically have thick black edges and the video itself looks tiny! Is there any way to fix this? Please help!
You need to sort some stuff out.
Your source is pal 25 frames in SD
Your offline footage is HD with a framerate 29.97.
You need to set your sequence the same as your footage.
Then export again with the same framerate. -
Flash video image problem with newest nVidia driver
I've got a very weird display error since the last update. Basically, whenever I play flash video and afterwards close the browser (chromium), any purely black surfaces will display the full flash player image. The effect is only visible in the "first" window of a xmonad tab, that means if I cycle the window positions it will be in a different window. The others are not affected. When I restart X, I can see the flash video image flashing up shortly on the black screen. Restarting X fixes the issue. I cannot take any screenshot of the problem because the error is NOT visible on the screenshot. Therefore I suspect that some frame buffer used for the flash player is not getting cleared properly after exiting the browser, but it's really little more than a wild guess.
As there are multiple components involved, I'm at a loss of where this might be coming from. I hope someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Please post here if you have the same problem or have any idea why this happens!
My setup:
-nvidia 260.19.36-2
-flashplugin 10.2.152.27-1
-chromium 9.0.597.94-1
-xmonad 0.9.2-1
-xmonad-contrib 0.9.2-1

if you asking about a bug reported on arch linux bugtracker, then you are doing it the wrong way.
flash and nvidia are closed source, we can't do anything. A better place is to submit bugs to nvidia and adobe.
Now i see that nvidia 270.26 was released. Maybe you want to check that out:

Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
Question 2 (related):
This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
Thanks for reading this.
el7Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
-USB-to-VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
-Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Home button stuck on iPod Touch. What are the ways in fixing this problem?
I've had my ipod touch from Nov 2011, and just recently I have noticed the ipod touch home button is getting stuck and that I have to push the button hard for it to work. Sometimes it works with a slight touch. I put assistive touch on so that if i have any problems I can get an easy fix out of it. But having the assistive touch is really annoying because the normal button is not working and it gets in the way of what I'm doing. Is there any way on fixing this problem other than using the assistive touch.
I've used tips on the following video which seem to work. But its only a temporary fix to my problem.

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?
Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

I have problem with my ipad when set up ipad asked to activation but i cant remember my apple id that i used to setup.now i can not open it .Is there any way to fix this problem?
Hello Abdo_Zain,
I would be concerned too if I was not able to gain access to my iPad. If you are unsure what your Apple ID is, you can find the steps in this article:
Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
You can reset a forgotten Apple ID password by going to the following link:
Apple - iForgot
https://iforgot.apple.com
Also, you may be able to skip the step of entering your Apple ID if you are setting up the iPad for the first time.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Snapz Pro to Final Cut to Flash Video - Resolution Problems
For my student job I'm supposed to make web video and I have a guidebook that explains how to do it. However, I have found some problems that have screwed up some things.
So I have captured video from Snapz Pro and I did this by setting the display resolution at 800x600 so that text can be readable. Now I set my selection capture at the same setting so that my final .mov file is 800x600 with good readable text.
The issue is when I get into FCP HD 4.5!
My final output is 480x320 MPEG-4 for flash video.
My guidebook tells me to set the sequence setting to 480x320, square pixels and MPEG-4 Video.
The problem is that when I bring in the 800x600 .mov file, I have pixelation problems and the video quality is markedly decreased.
I haven't been able to figure out the best approach but I need to change something for sure.
Any tips or ideas?You in the same class with Timothy Mosbach by any chance?
Anyway, Timothy and I went through this exact issue in this thread:

Flash Video Playback problem in CS4/CS5
I need to put a Flash Video on my website, embedded in one of the existing html pages.
When my developer puts together a Flash Video in Flash CS4 or CS5 using ActionScript 3, the video does not play - t just keeps buffering (showing a striped appearance on the seek bar) and will not play unless I refresh the browser.
I've tried copying the code from the html page that came with the set of swf and flv files and that doesn't work either.
Just inserting the swf file into the web page like we used to do in CS3 and earlier does not wor.
I noticed that now with ActionScript 3 there is no ACRunActiveContent.js file.
Videos created using CS3 and ActionScript 2 seem to work just fine on web pages.
Wonder what i can do to use CS4 and CS5 videos and have them play on html pages?
Any ideas anyone?Just to clarify:
Creating a Flash Video swf in CS5 (or even CS4) with ActionScript 3 requires the video to be embedded in the web page a bit differently than we were used to with CS3 and AS2.
While the newer versions of Flash do use a different method (using swfobject) when "Publishing" a Flash .swf, it is NOT required to do so. In fact neither swfobject nor ACRun... are required to display Flash of any version (AS1, 2, or 3) on a Web page. The simple single object method will work just fine:
<object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
<param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
<param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
</object>
Both ACRun and swfobject are "Flash Detection" methods used to display some alternative content if Flash is not detected... they are NOT needed to simply display the Flash .swf.
However, you can't use half ACRun code and half swfobject code....it must be either one or the other... and either would display AS3 players just fine.... as would the single object method.
Best wishes,

I'm sooo close I can feel it: Flash Video upload problem
Hello all,
I searched this topic and found plenty of articles but most were unanswered.
Issue: I can play a flash video locally in dreamweaver MX by pressing F12 but not when I upload it to the server.
The site below shows that only the player controls show but nothing else.
Here's the Site:
http://www.servicetoself.com/landing_pages/itsnotweightloss/itsnotweightloss.htm
Note: I uploaded all files that were created with Adobe flash into the site folder of the specific page (not the root directory of my site) including
1. The swf (which works fine when i double click on it)
2. The AC run active file
3. the fla file
4. the htm (created by adobe flash)
5. the flv file
6. the skin control file
These files are all in the path servicetoself/landing_pages/itsnotweightloss both locally and on the server
My Idea: It seems as the the swf file may not be pointing correctly to the flv. I found in other posts that I have to put the URL into the swf but have no idea how to do that. I don't see a "content path" parameter in the component inspector and have no idea how to get to it. but maybe this isn't what I need to do to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciatedSelect the FLVPlayer component on the stage. Open the Component Inspector window. In the Parameters tab the Content Path will be the fifth item down the list. Alternately, in versions before CS4, you can use the Parameters tab in the Properties window and find the same Content Path.
