Flash 8 Encoding Problem

I'm encoding a 4 minute, 800mb .mov made from FCS2 w/ Flash 8
and it's giving me a 26hr Estimate Time Left. I'm trying for a
400kbps vid at 24fps and 96kbps audio.
I'm on a 2.16g MacBook Pro w/ 1.7mhz ram. The .mov is on a
700g external w/ 320g free. I restarted with the same results.
I haven't yet replaced the ram w/ 3g sticks I got for
Christmas, but 26hrs?!
I did try one change that made it somewhat workable -- I
changed the codec to Sorenson Spark, but a 4 minute video still
takes over two hours! My .wmv file for a similar video is 30mb, but
this one is 160mb, and is set at medium quality!!! When I tried it,
it was off the screen: www.legacyhdv.com/reesefun.swf

It looks like I got it to work exporting with Quicktime
Conversion using an MPEG-4 format, then encoding the .mp4 to .flv
using the Flash 8 Encoder. What a mess! It's like FCS2 was trying
to cloak the ability to produce .flv. I believe this is the only
possible way to get a flash file from FCS2/CS3 without buying more
crap. It took weeks to figure this out, and I'm very unimpressed
with Apple & Adobe for this preventable nightmare! This info
should be easy to find so people like me don't miss deadlines over
it! *rant over*

Flash Media Encoder problems

So I'm getting these 2 problems. I'm using Flash Media Encoder 2.5 on Windows 7 home. My upload speed in 2.1 mbs. I don't want to use FME 3.1 or 3.2 because they make my computer slower and I have the same problems.
First the preview screens are choppy. I'm recording a video game and both the input and output look like they have lag. But when I move my mouse across the area I'm recording the mouse moves perfecly fine, while at the same time, the game still looks choppy. Also it seems like whenever there is other activity like moving my browser around, typing or clicking the game, it looks perfectly fine. If tried both the low and high bandwith setting and they both have the same problem.
My second situation is with starting the program. When I click the start button, the session starts, but then instantly stops. I'm using Justin.tv so in the stream, it says I'm live with a screen shot of what I was recording.
Thank you for reading and I hope we can figure this out.

Could you please use any other device and see the difference? Does the issue happen with all the devices?

You should probably post your question on Adobe's Flash forums:

Problem when streaming with the CLI flash media encoder 2.5

I have a problem when streaming with Flash Media Encoder 2.5. When I run the GUI, everything works, but when I use the commandline with the same profile I have created using the GUI, it says it can't connect to the server.
I have to use this version of the encoder, because the other is not working with the server, and I have to create a program to remotely control the flash media encoder, so I have to use the CLI. What can i do to go over this problem?
Any help would be really appreciated. Thankyou.

First of all, thankyou.
There is no authentication needed. I can't use Flash Live Media Encoder 3 because it is not supported by the people which manages the server i have to connect to.
In fact, I don't know why they dont support it, but that is the way it is.
Through the GUI, i connect directly and without problems, without user/pass.
Thankyou again.

Problem with Flash Media Encoder

We're having problems trying to use Flash Media Encoder in
conjunction with an Opsrey 230 card. The device shows up in the
Encoding Options panel but when we try to change any settings we
get the following error "Problem with video capture device. Please
verify that it is working correctly and is not already in use"
The card works fine with Windows Media Encoder. Viewcast
support suggested trying it again with SimulStream enabled, but
still no joy.
Can anyone help?
System - Windows XP Pro 2002 SP 2
Thanks
Phil

Doesn't look like any of your capture cards are on the
confirmed compatibility list... I wish there was a confirmed
INcompatible list (add three from above).

Flash Media Encoder 3.1 Problem..

Okay so.. I just recently decided to start broadcasting on my new laptop which is windows 7 and a 64 bit and I reinstalled my Pinnacle software on this labtop and when I install the drivers and other needed programs such as this. So moving on to the problem, like many other people from what I see have similar problems like me about when you open Flash Media Encoder and then swap to your capture card it loads then black screens and finally instantly closes without warning.. I have pretty much gone through an ENTIRE day trying to get this to work.. I also went to my old labtop and tried it out there and for some reason it works an dis compatible there... Please I would appreciate some help as I would like to start broadcasting again..

Please try using FMLE commandline version FMLECmd and see if it works?
FMLE GUI has a known issue on Windows 7 starter and Home edition

Flash Media Encoder 8 - audio problem

I'm having an audio problem with Flash Media Encoder 8. I am
converting a long Quicktime movie to Flash - about 28 minutes.
After encoding, when I play it back, at about the 20 minute mark
the audio just drops out. I've developed somewhat of a workflow and
have done this with similar Quicktime files many times and have not
had this problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be
happening? Anyone else see this?
Some specs:
Flash 8, Mac OSX 10.4.10, MacBook Pro C2D

Five Pi,
It may have something to do with the audio rate in your QT
video. When using encoder, make sure your audio rate of your QT
file is higher than the audio rate of your Encoder settings.
Its just a guess, I have had the same problems, but I set the
audio quality to very high when exporting from Final Cut Pro, and
then set them to medium quality in encoder, and no more audio
problems.

Flash Media Encoder 3.1, ManyCam, SigmaTel, Windows XP - No Audio output to FME or to Justin.tv

I have adobe flash media encoder 3.1 installed and am trying to stream downloaded .avi, .mpeg, and other video files to justin.tv using ManyCam, Everything seems to be working fine, video stream is clear and not choppy. Audio on my end is clear, and in Flash media Encoder i have "SigmaTel audio device" selected as my audio output (which is my stock audio driver)..however i keep getting complaints that there is no sound to my page on justin.tv. As far as i know all my drivers are installed properly and up to date. The green audio bar on FME shows no activity. Im wondering if this ****** SigmaTel excuse of an audio driver just doesnt get along with FME? There is no option to select "stereo mix" as other forums have said to do. Can anyone please help me get sound to my justin.tv page? Or help me find a way to instal a different audio driver that is compatible with a dell piece-o-**** dimension e520. I have downloaded Realtek HD Audio, SoundMAX drivers, and a few others but the only audio driver this piece of **** dell wants to recognize is the SigmaTel Audio Device, Which WONT OUTPUT SOUND TO FME!!!!!! PLEASE HELP!! TUMOUR IS GROWING!!
Can i not buy a set of surround sound speakers that are hooked up via USB and go around this problem? I really just want to get RID of SIGMATEL forever, and use REALTEK...but it wont recognize no matter how many times i download it. fml!

"The audio preview in FMLE indicates there IS audio being input"
How do you know this?
are you "Saving to file"? how is the audio in the saved file?

Flash Media Encoder 2.5

Hi--
I'm using Adobe Flash media Encoder 2.5 to stream Video & Audio to a web-site. For the past few days I've been unable to access my Channel on that web-'s Player or ANY other channels on the web-site-- after eliminating the browsers (as all 3 experience the same issue of non-accessibility to the web-site Player),and the fact that all 3 browsers PLAY OTHER Flash-encoded content, I have deduced the problem is with Flash Media Encoder as it keeps re-setting every 20 seconds or so indicating "Encoding & streaming to server is stopped due to aproblem in capturing Audio/Video"--however the settings are the same as when there was no problem. Anyone familiar with Flash Media Encoder 2.5 and any problems it may be experiencing? This has been ongoing for 4 days now

Flash video encoder slow

I'm trying to convert a 4.5 minute *.avi to *.flv and am
having some difficulty. Flash Video Encoder says I have about 15.5
hours remaining (am 0.5 hours into the process). That seems wholly
unreasonable given the fact that it took me all of maybe 5 minutes
to save it as an XviD-encoded *.avi with VirtualDub...
Any ideas as to how I can speed this up?

I'm having a similar problem - but my issue has to do with
why the time to encode on my Mac Pro is slower than on my
associate's Power Mac G5.
I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
flv files on a group license. On my station I have the following:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version: 1.7f10
I've got 151 GB available on my system drive.
Presently, it is taking me approximately 2 hours 45 minutes
to convert a 6 minute 26 sec mov to a flv with custom settings of:
Max Date Rate: 300 kbps
Frame Rate: Same as Source
Audio Data Rate: 48 kbps (mono)
500 x 333 pixels.
HOWEVER, on an associate's computer he is able to convert
under the same specs, same files, etc. in 1 hour 40 minutes.
His computer specs are:
Power Mac G5
Processor Speed - 2.3 GHz
2-CPU's
L2 Cache - 1 mb per CPU
Memory - 16 GB
Bus Speed 1.15 GHz
My computer has much more powerful processor, so we're
confused why it's taking longer on my computer.
I also have a second internal drive but presently the
programs and source file are on my system HD. Someone suggested
that I should try to make sure that the Video Encoder has max RAM
allocated to it as well as having the scratch disk and cache set to
the second internal drive. I don't know how to do this or even if
it's possible but looking for advice and suggestions on how to
better optimize the Video Encoder and would appreciate any help
with this ASAP.
Thanks!

MPG to FLV prob using Flash video encoder

I've been using the flash video encoder to convert videos to
FLV to put on websites.
Today I converted a MPG file to FLV.
The original MPG video worked fine, the FLV file played sound
but no picture....any ideas ?

Hi,
I have this problem too - I have converted wma files and mpg4 to flv. The encoder does not error but when I play the FLV there is audio but no picture. I am using Windows XP. Is there a solution to this issue?

CS3 Flash Video Encoder no sound

I have been using the Macromedia Flash FLV encoder for a very
long time, but now that I have upgraded to the CS3 Flash Video
Encoder the video gets encoded but the audio is always missing.
All my settings are the same as they always were and when I
encode an AVI to FLV the audio is missing. How do I fix
this?

I to am having the same problem with the flash encoder. Added
a wmv file and a mov file to the queue and I get the same results.
I do however see the first frame of the movies. Cannot set in and
out points because the first frame displays while scrubbing.
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Memory: 4 GB
Adobe suite CS3 - all updated.

Flash Video Encoder CS3

I want to convert a 12M .wmv file to flash video. I set the
audio to be the same quality, make the dimensions smaller, and set
the lower than what the wmv is set for. For some reason my flv file
is 51M. How can I get the file size down closer to what the
original file's size is without having to make the quality lower
than the original's quality?

Of course it could be any of a hundred different things on your particular computer....
But I had problems the Flash Media Encoder when I did an install on a new machine. Apparently there was a .dll missing. I did a reinstall... still no luck, but one of the error messages mentioned the name of the .dll file or gave an error message number so I Googled that and apparently it was a fair common thing to happen. Downloaded the missing .dll file and all works well.... just can't remember exact details now
So try to reinstall Flash Media Encoder first.
If that doesn't work, see if you can get any more info out of the error messages... an error number etc. Then Google that number, you may find more info on what is causing the error.
Best of luck!

Flash Video Encoder - Sizing Video

Hello
I have an uncompressed video at 720x486. I need to encode it
to Flash video at 640x480. When I import it into Flash Video
Encoder, I use the custom settings to output a 640x480 movie at
30fps and 550kbps using the VP6 codec.
Flash video outputs a 720x486 movie.
What am I doing wrong?
http://www.dorseygraphics.com/forumphotos/flashvideo.png
Thanks,
---------------------S

I've never had a problem with videos not being resized... and
many times
I've made video thumbnails. How are you determining the
output is incorrect
anyway? I'd guess it is your method that is wrong - if the
encoder did not
resize properly this question would come up daily...and it
doesn't.
