Encore CS4 Flash output - server doesn't like file names

Apparently my ftp server for my web site does not like files with spaces in the names, but Encore seems to use spaces in some of the file names for the png files in the menus. Is there any way around this? Can I force it to replace spaces with underscores? Can I go in and manually change the links and the file names (there aren't too many). this is very annoying - how could this happen?
Thanks,
Scott

If your server doesn't like spaces in file names, it's likely due to HTML address rules. However, these files won't be linked via HTML, but through the AuthoredContent.xml file directly into the SWF playing in the Flash player, which doesn't have the same limitations as HTML.
If your server is kicking a fuss up about this, replace the single space character in the PNG filename with an underscore character (do this at file system level), then edit the AuthoredContent.xml file and replace the space character in the PNG filename with an underscore character. Save everything, and then upload the files in the same hierarchy that Encore exports.
That should do it.

Encore CS4 Flash versions of DVDs broken

FLV Flash builds of our DVDs look fine, but navigation is very inconsistent and mostly broken.
F4V output seems to crash the machine before anything gets output.
Everything else is fine, the DVDs work and play perfectly. Has anyone got any ideas about this? It sure would be cool to generate flash versions of our DVD projects for customer approval, feedback etc. But we've never been able to make a flash build actually work completely...
Any guidance would be appreciated.

The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

Server doesn't like web galleries from CS4

I've been trying to export a web gallery from Bridge, but when it's uploaded I get this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /Kauffman-2009/index.html on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
The server doesn't have issues with other index.html files, it seems like there's something specific to the Bridge created ones. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

2 things to look for...
1) check to make sure that you have assigned read permissions to that directory. This is not something done in Adobe software. Consult your hosting provider for assistance.
2) check to make sure you do not have odd characters in your image filenames and descriptions used in the gallery. I recall the gallery function fell apart on previous versions if you had '&' in the filename or title/description because Adobe's script/function neglected to escape odd characters in the XML. I have not tried this in CS4; maybe it was fixed.

How to auto save output with date added to file name, and email the results?

Hi,
We found a script to capture disk space usage, that automatically places the results into an Excel file. We would like the script to autosave this file to a specific directroy with the date ran as part of teh file name. We would then like these results to
be emailed to us if possible. (also if possible to highlight cell in red that is 5% OR less available disk space would be great)
Here is what we have:
$erroractionpreference = “SilentlyContinue”
$a = New-Object -comobject Excel.Application
$a.visible = $True
$b = $a.Workbooks.Add()
$c = $b.Worksheets.Item(1)
$c.Cells.Item(1,1) = “Machine Name”
$c.Cells.Item(1,2) = “Drive”
$c.Cells.Item(1,3) = “Total size (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,4) = “Free Space (GB)”
$c.Cells.Item(1,5) = “Free Space (%)”
$c.cells.item(1,6) = "Name "
$d = $c.UsedRange
$d.Interior.ColorIndex = 19
$d.Font.ColorIndex = 11
$d.Font.Bold = $True
$d.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
$intRow = 2
$colComputers = get-content "C:\Servers.txt"
foreach ($strComputer in $colComputers)
$colDisks = get-wmiobject Win32_LogicalDisk -computername $strComputer -Filter “DriveType = 3"
foreach ($objdisk in $colDisks)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 1) = $strComputer.ToUpper()
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 2) = $objDisk.DeviceID
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 3) = “{0:N0}” -f ($objDisk.Size/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 4) = “{0:N0}” -f ($objDisk.FreeSpace/1GB)
$c.Cells.Item($intRow, 5) = “{0:P0}” -f ([double]$objDisk.FreeSpace/[double]$objDisk.Size)
$c.cells.item($introw, 6) = $objdisk.volumename
$intRow = $intRow + 1
$d.EntireColumn.AutoFit()
cls

Encore CS4 Flash Rendering Problem

Problems with Encore CS4 Flash Playback in webbrowsers

Here's my problem. I made a great DVD I was hoping to show online.
There are several options when I export.
You have export to flv or f4v. I'm not really sure what the difference is but I tried both. When I export to f4v I great great playback in firefox and new versions of IE...but older versions don't play.
When I export to flv I get choppy, unwatchable playback from all browsers. Even when I set the quality to low, the video is still crystal clear, almost like this option does nothing at all.
I was thinking maybe I could somehow compress the flv after it exports, or even hack the f4v to play in old versions of ie but I have no idea how to do either one!
These are both streamed btw. I know I saw that you can throw it up onto playstream and thats supposed to help playback, but my company doesn't want to pay for it.
Am I missing something? I'm under a really tight timeframe to have this stuff finished. Please help!
Erik

FLV and F4V use different codecs for Flash video. H.264 in case of F4V and On2 VP6 for FLV. There's a difference of bitrate between different quality presets. You can check the bitrates of files generated using some tool. Your video might be very static to feel the different be the two quality settings.
F4V is the new format and need a newer version of Flash Player. Please update your Flash player and try again to play the F4V files.
Playstream doesnt support F4V format. You can only export FLV files to Playstream.
It might also be an issue of low bandwidth while playing a streaming video. Are you playing is locally or from a web server.

CS4 Flash Form Application Doesn't Work in CS5

Hi
I was surprised to see the following message when opening a flash CS3 fla in CS5
<<
Slides and Forms documents are not supported in this version of Flash. Please open in a previous version.
>>
Is there any known work around to be able to maintain a Forms flash project in CS5?
How long will CS3 or CS4 be supported?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Just to be clear, that final question was asked 7/11/2011, it's now 5/5/2015, and still no one has bothered to respond? These forums are a lot of things; annoying, unspecific, hard to follow, but one thing they are NOT is helpful. Perhaps they should be hosted somewhere other than in the Help section?

Encore CS4 Stops transcoding to DVD DV AVI files

I dont know what is going on why adobe released unfinished soft and updates?. Purchased and installed SC4 and I have SC3 installed on the same machine with WinXPPROSP3 with all latest updates of video card and other soft. Have build a two projects in Encore SC4 already, but does not render to dvd imported DV AVI files.
Now, the setting are as fallows, one minuet long (or complete 1 hour project) 4:3 DV AVI files or imported premiere pro project, and set to be transcoded to DVD High Quality NTSC 8mps 1 pass, (it is one of the default presets) and it does not finish transcoding to dvd. The funny thing is that, this file with this trhanscode setting was used many times in CS3 and in CS4 it is not working. Quick time was updated to 7.6 and I had 7.5 before and went back to 7.4 but it didnt change anything.
Would like to know ASAP what is going on why the render stops?
I was watching the transcode status/progress when rendering on the back it stops shortly after conforming audio or at the very end of importing a file. However CS3 finish rendering with same presets with no problem.
So why it stops transcoding?
PC config is this
Quad Q6600 SPU
4Gb DDR3 Ram
Dual 8800 Video card
PQ53K Mother board
2.5Tb of HDD
What is not there, why is not rendering?

Thanks JB and HM for your input! My videos consist of 1) still images and 2) some video clips (captured with APP) and 3) almost all of the video transitions APP offers. I rarely have a montage over 30 mins. Most of them run between 15 and 20 mins. With this info, would you say it is best if I stick with my current method of encoding (encoding in APP with MPG2-DVD at 8Mb/CBR/1pass then importing into AED)?
Some have asked me why I even bother with AED and why not just build the DVD directly from APP. The reason is that AED allows me to create a menu with the option of both single play and loop play, something APP will not let me do.
Thanks again!

How do I set up file sharing in Lion Server to work like file sharing in Lion Client?

I've just installed Lion Server on my home iMac to enable remote access via VPN to my home network.
When the iMac was running Lion Client (before the upgrade to server), and when File Sharing was enabled on the iMac; when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP, they were always able to connect to (share) any mounted external volumes (external USB or FireWire drives connected to the iMac). e.g.
Now that I've upgraded to Lion Server, when other Macs on the LAN connected to the iMac via AFP they are only able to connect to (share) the sharepoints listed in the File Sharing pane of Server.app. e.g.
Is there any way to set up File Sharing in Lion Server so that it works the same way as it does in Lion Client with respect to mounted external volumes? i.e. they are automatically shared? I know I can add each volume manually to File Sharing in Server.app but this gets tedious.
Many thanks!

I normally have a Firewall enabled. I recently had to do an erase and install of Lion, followed by a one-by-one re-install of all of my software. One of the first things I did was to set up all of my System Preferences the way I like them; Turning the Firewall on was one of them. Later I noticed it was off and turned it on again. I had already set up sharing and was surprised to see the problem when I turned it back on.
As to why do I think it needs to be on. It is another part of my security layer.

Testing server doesn't update files

As of today, changes that I make to my css files don't seem to have any effect when tested over the local server (I use MAMP). When I navigate to http://localhost in my browser, or switch to Live View in Dreamweaver, my site seems to have stayed exactly the same.
I'm a new user so maybe this is a simple problem, but everything has been working fine until now so I'm pretty confused.

Are you sure you are saving the changed CSS file in the right place? Although your localhost is run from your desktop, you are still required to save the file in the htdocs folder of apache (or similar for Macs). If you saving the changed file in the Site Definition folder of DW then you want see any changes when you load your index.php or default.php from your localhost.
Finally, have you tried to save the file manually in the right path to see if the changes are now becoming effective?
Hope this gives you something to think about.

Flash media server 4.5 log files filed x-duration value always 0

Hi guys,
When i read flash media stats log file then i found x-duration value 0 only in case for x-event unplublish this filed have a value.
My question is x-duration filed value is the number of seconds the client has been connected. then why i am getting 0 in case of publish and publish-continue only get the value in case of unpublish.
Any one explain ? how can i get the connection time in case of publish and un publish
Thanks
Brijesh

For a stream the x-duration is the number of seconds the stream has played. Hence at publish and record events this value is 0 and is non-zero for unpublish event.
In case of session, this field contains the number of seconds the client has been connected. This will be 0 for connect event and non-zero for disconnect event.
The time an event occurred is reflected under the time filed in access log.

Apurva

Run Applet On Server Using 8.3 File Name Format

Hello Everyone,
I am currently trying to produce an applet that will display content from a PLC (which hosts its own webpage).The PLC itself only allows files using the 8.3 file name format to be stored on it (eg. 123456789.123).
I have tried a few simple things, such as changing the ".class" file extension to ".cls". But this just produced an error in my internet browser (IE 8).
Any help and/or work-arounds would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Vincent Wiebe

Go to Control Panel. Select "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options". Select "Regional and Language Options". Select the Advanced setting page. Under "Language for non-Unicode programs", select the desired language.

Creation of Note in PDF file generated from Output Server

I would like to be able to force Output Server to create a Note (in expanded format) on a PDF file. I see the bookmark information in the manual, however I was not able to locate any documentation referencing the note tool. Is this possible? If so, can someone provide a brief example of a command that would need to be passed through the data stream to generate a note on a PDF document?

Unfortunately, Output Server doesn't allow you to create PDF comments. The best you could probably do is generate a PDF and then create an XFDF that references that PDF and also contains your comments. Check the Adobe PDF Developer's site for information on XFDF.
