Flash 8 Video Encoder Error with Sony Handycam movie

Hi,
I'm using Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert movies to .fla
format to use them on websites. Now trying to do this with movies
shot with my new Sony Handycam, Flash Video Encoder gives an error
and doesn't convert the movie.
Any idea what to do?
Thanks, have a nice day.

I have this option from right click menu - Convert to Mpeg 2
and save.
By the way, does your CD comes with Sony Vega program?
This one is able to open Sony's raw file format and export to
very nice
quality mpeg that works superb in flash. I did lots of video
using Vega,
to adjust the sharpness, color contrasts and all, before
start exporting and
down sizing...

Problem with Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder

I have got the trial version of Macromedia Flash 8
(professional). I have no problem running the Macromedia Flash but
when I tried to run the Macromedia Flash 8 Vedio Encoder for the
First time, as it was trying to install the Encoder it gives me an
error as it cannot locate an installation file.
This is the message I am getting in the pop-up message as the
installation stops:
The feature that you are trying to use is on the network
resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an
alternate to a folder containing the installation package
‘Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder.msi’ in the box
below.
User source:
C:\DOCUME~1\username\LOCALS~1\Temp\{2BD5C305-1B27-4D41-B690-7A61172D2FEB}\
Can someone tell what the problem is and how I can get it
fixed? Thank you very much for your time.

common problem, happens with perfectly set up application,
regardless DEMO or
off the CD.
I and up getting ZIP of the encoder from a friend because
multiple unistall, reinstall
did not help.
Happen second time on my laptop, I got fed up and try to fix
it, can't reproduce the steps
but basically I remove QT player and Flash 8. Reinstall QT
first, than Follow by flash 8.
Tried that 4 or 5 times and eventually it start to work.
You can always use it from the program, it works within flash
File - import - import video
than pick the video and go to Progress Download From the
server.
Flash will generated the FLV automatically.

Blank screen in Flash 8 Video Encoder with DivX

When using the Flash 8 video encoder to encode a DivX file, I
get a blank screen. No problem with the wmv files I've tried. this
is on two freshly purchased HP Windows Media Center XP PCs. Have
not had the same issue with our older Dell PCs, also XP(Pro not
Media Center). I have re-installed Flash 8 and the Divx codecs but
still have the issue.
Any ideas?

Flv video created with flash 8 video encoder

anyone know why flv files that I've created using the flash 8
video encoder don't seem to have any metadata in them? or maybe
they do but they never kick off the NetStream.onMetadata event so I
can't read it...
Similarly if I use the 'import video' function of Flash Pro 8
I get the same issue - yet FLV video created using Sorenson Squeeze
works fine, so I'm fairly confident that my code is OK.
Even more bizarrely, if I use the FLVPlayback component that
ships with Flash 8, that seems to read in the metadata OK!
argh!
Just to confuse things even more, the flash help for
NetStream.onMetadata says: "The Flash Video Exporter utility
(version
1.1 or greater) embeds a video's duration [...] into the
video file itself."
As far as I can tell I've got version 1.0 of the flash video
encoder/exporter but I'm damned if I can find out where to get an
update from...! Ever since CS3 came out it's been harder and harder
to get hold of stuff about flash 8 on the Adobe site...

well that's the thing - the metadata never traces out if the
video was encoded with flash video encoder, but that code would
work fine with video encoded with sorenson squeeze.
think I have worked it out now though: in order to pause the
video at start I am calling NetStream.seek(0) when I receive
"NetStream.play.start".
For some reason when I do this with flvs encoded using flash
video encoder, it stops the onMetaData event from firing - but
works fine with other flvs! weird... shall have to find another way
of pausing the video at the start I guess.
thanks for the reply though

Flash 8 Video Encoder, audio/video discrepancy from mpeg

Two questions...
First, more urgently, I've been given an origianl
720xsomething mpeg format video, and I'm trying to bring it over to
flash... I use the flash 8 video encoder, which does a phenomenal
job of keeping video quality while vastly reducing file size, but
in this case, (unlike some others in the past) I'm getting a
bizarre discrepancy between the speed of audio vs. speed of
video... I can't find a way to force the mpeg (or flash encoder
software) to TELL me what the frame rate of the original mpeg is,
and even when i attempt to force it to 24 or 25 during conversion
to flv, it doesn't seem to bother matching it up to the audio...
when i take the result and export it from flash, i'll try, at 24
the video is going too fast for audio, but at 23 its going too
slow...
and this SEEMs related to 2nd question.. I took about 15
solid minutes of video of a particularly nice sunset in
progression, with the hopes of compressing it down to about 30-60
seconds for effect... but it seemed like, no matter what frame rate
I tried to compress it to with the encoder, it just drew each frame
out to a set length, and even if i tried to export the flash really
fast, it remained at the epicly slow frame rate...
is there a relation? what am I doing wrong?
is there a way to detect the ACTUAL frame rate of the
original mpeg... is there a way to force the audio and video to
remained sync'd up? Seems the that problem is, if i go with the
default 'Same as source' I'm left to guess what that might be when
exporting from flash, as nothing ever actually tells me what that
source frame rate actually was! Is there some natural audio
compression business inside mpeg video that works fine for mpeg
video, but the flash encoder can't handle well? I've tried it with
about a billion different frame rate, audio data rate, quality, and
export settings, and have yet to get a sync.
Thanks in advance!

I should have been more clear.
I changed the file name from .vob to .mpg and then tried to
add the video file to Flash 8 Video Encoder and received the
following error message:
"You won't be able to encode this file. Your computer doesn't
have the necessary codec or the file is corrupt."
Currently,
I use ffmpegx to convert the .vob to .dv and then, I import
the .dv into Flash 8 Video Encoder and convert it to a .flv....
I can use ffmpegx to go straight to a .flv, but the file size
is larger b/c the compression is different, not On2 VP6...
I would like to skip the middle step because my files are
very large and it takes extra time.

Cannot launch Flash 8 Video Encoder despite previously being able to

1. I used a legal version of Studio 8 /Flash 8 Video Encoder
agazillion times from MPEG2 to FLV using the On2 at low,
medium,high with no problem.
2. I stopped the encoding queue of an mpeg2 file and then
exited the encoder.
3. When I tried to relaunch to the encoder it keeps giving me
an error that Flash 8 encountered and unexpected problem and needs
to close.
4. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the video encoder already
whether separately or through the complete Studio 8 instal after
removing Flash 8 and it doesn't make any difference.
5. I've also upgraded Quicktime to the latest and pasted a
copy of the FLV file in the QT components directory into the
Windows/System folder (there is NO Windows/System32 folder -- I've
search "system" and "system32" on my entire computer -every single
drive and it doesn't show up.
6. However, I can import the same MPEG2 file into Flash 8 Pro
on the same computer and it encodes the video with no problem.
7. I just can't get the Video 8 encoder to launch so I could
encode them in batch.
Thanks

I've also done a system restore to a restore point date prior
to my exiting the Media Encoder and having a relaunch issue.
and did these reinstalls using this old system restore point
date.

Flash 8 Video Encoder- Necessary Codec or File Corrupt

I have a bunch of quicktime files I'm looking to convert but
keeping getting this error from the Flash 8 encoder when I try to
encode or click 'settings':
You won't be able to encode this file. Your computer doesn't
have the necessary codec or the file is corrupt.
I am having success with other quicktime vids, so what gives?
Thanks

That kind of question is very hard to answer. There is so
many factors to consider,
it will be one, never ending guessing game.
Try multiple videos, divx, mov , wmv etc... See if you can
mange to get any of these
to work. If none than perhaps the FLV player is not set up
properly or the encoding
setting isn't correct. If some of these work, than perhaps is
the video in question
that is Flash incompatible and you might need to save it in
another format using video
editing tools. Also make sure that the browser players are
compatible with the file version
you publishing to.
Than, after having all these answers, we can't start to try
to figure
out what and where it goes wrong.

Flash 8 video encoder + SWF

Hi,
I need to convert some video file with the flash 8 video
encoder but i need an SWF output instead of a FLV. I know FLV is
the best for internet use but we can't integrate those type of file
in director so I really ned a swf file. I was wondering how could I
do it ...
II've tried to import the FLV in Flash 8 as an embedded video
but as the warning said the audio is not synched with the video
when i export it. Anyone have an idea how could I export a SWF
without beeing linked to the FLV ??
Thanks,

try to play FLV file?
download & install FLV player,
try this:

expecting a SWF file?
- import your flv into a flash movie & publish it

Flash 8 Video Encoder - Optimizing Conversion Time

I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
flv files. 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!

How to det codec for FLash 8 Video Encoder - MP4 files

HI! How can I get Flash 8 video encoder to accept mp4 files?
when I try open
it I receive an error message.
"You Won't be able to encode this file. Your computer doesn't
have the

Do I find this codec at Macromedia or somewhere else?

Problem in Flash CS3 video Encoder

Hi,
I am experiencing a bug in the Flash CS3 Video encoder. I
have saved an XML file with settings that I will be using for
numerous video. I have basically set the Data Rate, Frame Rate, Key
Frame Interval, Audio and Video Size. The frame rate is set to
14.98.
When I load the profile that I have saved, the frame rate
stays at 14.98, but if i hit ok, and then click on the settings
again to modify them, the frame rate goes to 'same as source' and
does not stay at 14.98. If I change the frame rate to 14.98 at this
point, it sticks. My question is, why does it go to 'same as
source', and it concerns me, that if I do not manually go in and
change the settings back to 14.98, is it encoding the video at its
current frame rate.
Here is the XML file I use for encoding:

It appears that the <FrameRate></FrameRate> node
is only saved to the XML file if you choose something other than
"Same as source". However, it's always a non-standard value.
Evidently, if you are creating your own <FrameRate> value in
a custom XML setting file, you need to multiply the frame rate by
65536. For example, if you want 24 fps in the profile, your XML
should look like the code snippet below.

Flash CS3 Video Encoder: No preview

[note: I posted this earlier in the Flash Media Encoder forum
-- which I thought was the same product as the video encoder.
Apparently it is not! I did not see a forum specific to the video
encoder, so I'm posting here.]
Greetings.
I'm getting no video preview in the Flash CS3 Video Encoder
when attempting to adjust settings. I can scrub back and forth and
set cue points, but the entire video preview is black. I've tried
several source files encoded with several different Quicktime
codecs and in a few different formats including .mov and .mp4 -- no
difference. The source files play fine and actually encode just
fine with the encoder, but the lack of preview to adjust cropping
and other setting is non-optimal, to say the least.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?
Here's my setup:
-- PowerMac Dual-Core 2x2.66 GHz Intel Xeon
-- 30-inch Cinema Display
-- NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT graphics card
-- Mac OSX 10.5.2
-- Quicktime Pro 7.4.1
-- Most recent version of Flash CS3 Video Encoder

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.

When I use "Flash CS3 Video Encoder" I get a watermark that

Can somebody please tell me if do I have to buy "flip4mac" or
if I am doing something wrong?
Thanks!

Thanks for your help!
It works perfect with so many formats, the only problem is
that I can not add ".wmv" files. Is there any way to do it?
Thanks again!
