F4V video file duration metadata is wrong.

Hi everyone,
I am using Flash Media Server 3 hosted by Influxis.
I use to upload flash videos (flv) to view from our company website, which uses Flowplayer.
I got a new video which is F4V, but this video is little wierd, It plays well but
the duration shows as 3:00:00 (3 hours) which is actually 11minutes 30 seconds.
So if you scroll above 11:30, it justs hangs around
I tried to convert the video to flv (H.264 codec) using super@ converter which I normally use,
It converts but some frames are currupted.
I don't know how to fix this problem, totally stuck. I used to have Adobe Flash Media Converter 3.5,
which was a great converter, but not anymore ....
Thanks for any help.

Is it problem with all F4V files or just this one. May be file itself has some wrong metadata injected or the way it was encoded was faulty. Try with few more F4V files and try out. You can try sample f4v files which comes with FMS installation.
Now coming to second part - you cannot convert F4V files to FLV - i mean FLV cannot contain H.264 data.

  • ITunes corrupting video files on metadata changes

    I have some video tutorials that I've been attempting to add to my iTunes library so I can watch them on my iPhone and appleTV.
    The videos copy into my library successfully. They play fine on my mac / phone / aTV as long as I don't change any metadata.
    But as soon as I try and change some metadata...
    Well, things are getting weird.
    Sometimes I've been able to change the metadata on the file without any issue. However, most of the time, I make a change (album art, title, album name) that results in a pinwheel. The program seems to hang for a bit but then makes the change. Everything looks fine and until you try and play the video which will no longer play. Not in iTunes. Not in the finder. Nothing. Even opening the file in iTunes causes the program to crash.
    I'm a little confused, as I've been able to add videos before and make changes to every bit of metadata that my heart desired with no issues.
    I'm even more confused that the problem is intermittent and while this problem happens 90% of the time, it miraculously doesn't when I try to show / explain what's happening.
    It seems to me that there's most likely something wrong on my end within my iTunes library, but I'm not shure where/how to start troubleshooting.
    Anyone with any ideas or advice, your comments and suggestions are valued and appreciated. 
    Thanks,

    ps. I'm running the most current build of Lion and iTunes.

    Hi all,
    same problem here, but in a windows (shame on me...) network:
    * Two PCs w/ Win 7 64-bit
    * iTunes 10.7.x
    * iTunes library on a D-LINK DNS-320 (firmware: 2.02.x)
    After editing metadata of video files (adding art, changing title OR adding some details like year) the file is corrupt and will no longer play: not in iTunes, not in Quicktime, neither VLC nor MPC or any other Windows video software.
    This happens always(!), it doesn't matter what PC I use to edit the metadata. Doesn't matter, which video encoder (Freemake, Aisee, even Quicktime and it's ATV-profile) I use. The original video input format doesn't matter.
    Downgrading the D-Link firmware to 1.9 and/or iTunes to 10.6 doesn't give a result.
    Today even some mp3 got corrupted after adding cover art. Therefore i can't believe the file size is the reason.
    Maybe this is a hint: In Windows Explorer (something like the finder on a mac) I can't change the owner nor the user rights of the (corrupted or not yet corrupted) file. Is there any problem known relating to iTunes read-write-ability and NAS user rights whr storing the iTunes library on an external HDD?
    What about the library size or the amount of media objects (130 movies, 500 TV Shows, 15000 mp3, ...)?
    Any ideas or solutions anyone?
    Or a good mp4-tagger (incl. cover option) for Windows?
    regards,

  • Add Metadata, Options to Open in Adobe Media Encoder for Video Files

    I was surprised to discover that some basic information about video files is not shown. For example, the duration of a QuickTime video is not shown.
    Also, there is no option to open an MOV file in Adobe Media Encoder.
    It would be nice to have this basic support for video.

  • How do you embed/inject xmp metadata into a mpeg 2 video file?

    Im looking to add keywords and descriptions to original file (raw MPEG-2) and have the metadata stick when i go to the transcoding process and batch convert the orginal file to either a wmv and flash file. how can i achive this? what tools are available ? and or is this a custom job? any info and or programmers looking to test this im open to all the help i can get.

    Yeah I kind of figured that. I've been trying various ways of trying to batch inject metadata into video files and thought I would start with the master file but because of the limitations the raw digitized mpg 2 video file has. In that case I have yet to find a transcoding program that will batch out various formats and read a xmp side car file to inject the metadata into the outputted file (does anyone know if Adobe media encoder 4 can accomplish this where a xmp sidecar file is created then transcoding into a wmv and or flash file , curious if the metadata will stick and be read in the outputted file) In anycase  I may have find an alternative way and use my current Rhozet carbon coder transcoder program to try to inject an xml file during the batch transcoding process. If anyone has successfully accomplished this with injecting xmp metadata in a batch transcoding program please let me know. I've been exhausted searching for the solution this problem for a long time and I don’t want to wait till a mpeg 7 solution comes out.

  • After exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?

    after exporting to quicktime file, the file has sound but no video, what am I doing wrong?  The self contained movie box is not checked.

    Hi
    Did You go via Compressor ?
    Did You use QuickTime Conversion ?
    I don't
    I do
    • In TimeLine set In and Out-Points to the full Movie/Project
    • Select ALL - Clips and Audio
    • Go up to Sequence and down to Render Only - down to Mix Down Audio
    • then Sequense and Render Selected - Both (Video and Audio)
    • then Export and as QuickTime .mov (NOTHING ELSE)
    • I use to do - Not Self-Contained as it saves both time and space

  • Is Lightroom (LR5) Capable of Editing the Geotag Metadata of VIDEO Files (.mov)?

    I am trying to add a geotag to a .mov file using Lightroom. It appears that I can add it to the GPS information of the file's metadata, but then when I right click and go to Metadata, the option "Save Metadata to File" is greyed out. Is it possible to do this using LR5?

    Unfortunately, LR's support for video metadata is very limited.  Please add your vote to this thread in the official feedback forum:

  • Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?

    I am organizing my library of stock video footage so is easily view (show to clients) and access. I need advice for two things:
    First: What is a good program to catalog footage in? I am considering using iTunes because I already have it and I could setup smart folders to easily organize footage.
    Second: I would like to encode all the footage to h.264 so I can preview it in Quicktime and add it to an iTunes library. My problem is all the footage is in a wide variety of dimensions, formats, framerates, strange codecs etc. I have access to Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor. Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?
    I have tried using a watch folder in AME but it freezes every time I add the folder...
    Thanks for any help!

    Did you move the entire iTunes folder the hold Option, select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you moved?

  • Video files don't display Metadata (Canon 60D)

    I use Lightroom for archiving both stills and video. I use two cameras for my work: a Canon 5D MK II and a Canon 60D. This being the case the filter function is very useful as I can search for images from each camera separately (and check exposure info etc).
    I have no problems with the 5D. But Lightroom doesn't display any metadata for video files from the 60D. Interestingly the image files do not have this issue and display the metadata I need: Exposure, focal length etc. Its just the video files... They contain no info. If 60D video files are present in the catalogue the filter bar at the top reads "Unknown Camera" and displays the (correct) number of 60D video files. I am up to date with Firmware 3.3.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I think you have it! Thank you. Yes, there are no sidecar files with the 60D video files (only with the 5D video files). But why isn't the 60D providing these files?... Do you know how I can fix this? Thanks again!

    video files of type *.flv and *.f4v are considered Flash files, how play them (win7) are files in file windows explorer?

    Not sure what you are saying; are these local or online files?
    Adobe does not longer provide Adobe Media Player to play local files; use a 3rd-party player like VLC Media Player.

  • Some of my video files only play for a five second duration in QuicktimeX.

    A few video files I have only play the clip for five seconds, but when I play the same exact clips in VLC they work, it is only 3 or 4 video files, but it is a problem, also when you see the little video icon, you see the video, for the ones that only play for five seconds, you see blotches, and a grey picture. Is there any way to fix this problem? The file format is in .avi

    When trying to play open the inspector (CMD + I) and mention what the codecs are.

  • Cannot upload any video files - what's wrong?

    OK, I don't want to bore you with a tale, so ill try to be accurate...
    I purchased a brand new Iphone 3g. It seems to be capable to receive some media files like, pictures, mp3.. but, I cannot figure out how to Upload VIDEO.
    I step on the Movies folder, and i can see the (MP4) there on the playlist.
    I create a new playlist folder, and place the video file there. When i step onto the iphone music sync screen, I activate the "include music videos" option.
    guess what? The new folder doesn't show itself. clearly it doesn't recognize video files.
    What should i do ?? it ****** me off

  • Media Encoder not keeping duration metadata

    Ok, first off, I'm still new to using the Media Encoder, so I am asking, if you have a solution, please feel free to treat me like a 3-year old or like someone who doesn't know how to change their own tire.  Yes, I am asking of hand holding here, mainly because I've scowered too many forums and done too many searchs through Google to come up empty handed.
    So here's the situation:
    My company is doing our own videos for our products, as well as created our own media player that has the ability to play one video after another.  The videos are created in Final Cut and are given to me as .mov files.  I then put them into the encoder and turn them into .flv files, using the preset FLV - Web - 768X432, 16X9, Project Framerate 900kbps.  Through my searching I found that the Media Encoder should automatically bring in the duration, but maybe I'm wrong.
    When we put these videos into the custom video player, the videos play, but they do not rotate to the next video.  This is because, as I was told, the duration is not found in the metadata.  So I bring the question, am I using the wrong preset for this, or does the metadata not exist in the .mov file?  I'm unable to determine this, as I cannot even find the duration field in Bridge for either the .mov or .flv files.
    There is my problem, if anyone has a suggestion or anything, please let me know.  I'm using the Production Premier CS5 suite.

    Update:
    After doing some more general searching about FLV duration metadata, I found that more people were having this problem and had to resort to metadata injunction techniques.  I, however, do not want to go through that because I'm lazy and want stuff done right the first time.  As a result, I've tested using F4V encoding from the original MOV files instead.  The metadata appears to be in tact, the player works as it should now and will have to go through and change the rest of my video files.

  • How to import two AVI video files & convert to one FLV ?

    Status:
    - Newbie using PC & Flash CS3 ver9l
    - I can import a single AVI video file and convert it to an FLV video.
    Problem:
    - I have two AVI video files... one 4GB (20 minute) long and one 2GB (10 minute) long... and want to combine them to have a single 30 minute long FLV video file.
    Question:
    - Can I do this in Flash? When I "convert" a single AVI video to a FLV using the File, Import method... I can't really see the video on the Flash time line. I'm a newbie so I'm probably doing something wrong.
    - I tried doing a File, Import for file-1.avi and then doing it for file-2.avi... but the two were on top of each other... and not end to end.
    Maybe some kind sould will walk me through this.
    Thanks for any help.

    Your not going to be able to combine two videos as one in flash, if your using Win try Win Movie Maker, I believe you can drag both into a WMVM timeline and can then save as one file, then you can use AVC video converter or the like to encode them into an .flv or.f4v file.
