Flash 8 Video Encoder not working

As said in topic, I import a video (no matter what format)
then click "settings" but nothing happens, except that the
application stops responding, e.g. I can not click on any button in
it. The only way is then to kill it through Task Manager.
I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling (flash and quicktime),
but I can't get it to work.

Yes, I am sure, because the settings pannel WON'T OPEN at all
- The moment I click on "settings" nothing happens, no "settings"
window is opened - nothing.
It just stays like that, I can't click anywhere else.
Regarding the size of the video - I mostly tried with smaller
videos (10 MB) - I actually managed to convert some of those to FLV
using another application, but I wasn't happy with the result, so
wanted to try it with Flash 8 Video Encoder - I was hoping there
are more options here.
BTW: Now, after i tried reinstalling Flash the Flash 8 Video
Encoder has "disappeared" from Start/programs/Macromedia - It is
nowhere - I can't find it and start it anymore. I tried
reinstalling again and again but it won't come back (!!).

OS X Lion Video Encoder Not Working

I don't know what the problem is. I was super excited for the video encoder that came standard with Lion because I have an Apple TV, and I figured it would make converting videos much less of a headache. I apparently thought wrong. I've been very frustrated trying to get it to work. Trying to convert some .avi files I get an error, which says something about not being able to open the source. I can't even get it to come up right now.
I tried to encode a .mp4 file assuming that it would definitely work because, unless I'm thinking wrong, this format is compatible with Macs. This didn't seem to do anything at all except produce a .m4v file that didn't do anything. My assumption was that it was maybe still converting, but there was nothing to indicate that so I deleted that file. Then tried it again, and it did nothing. Then tried again to convert the .avi file so that I could see the error and post it here, but again, it did nothing so I couldn't post the exact error.
Okay so just got the error, and it says:
avconvert: source file not found for source file: (lists file location)
avconvert: failed to create an Export Session.
Check Setup.
Any help or leads at all would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

Ahh, I'd forgotten about that feature since it is not really that easy to find and I always use MPEG Streamclip which does an outstanding job. However, I just tried it with a 10 sec intro I had (the only .mov I had available) and it did not work either. I'll be sending in a feedback - may i suggest you do the same.
In the meantime, try MPEG Streamclip - I've used it for a long time.
Here is the (strange) error I got:

No video after Flash 8 Video Encoder

I have read some other posts and although they are similar,
none of the solutions posted helps me fix my specific issue.
Using Flash 8 on Windows XP Pro SP2, I have a MPEG-2 file. I
can play the MPEG file using Windows Media Player 11 and RealPlayer
11 but I cannot play it using QuickTime 7.2. When I load the MPEG
file into Flash 8 Video Encoder (to convert it to a FLV file), it
doesn't seem to recognize that there is a video portion. It
recognizes there is an audio portion. By this I mean:
1. In Flash 8, click on File > Import > Import video...
2. Browsed to the MPEG file and clicked Next
3. Selected Progressive download... and clicked Next
4. In the Encoding screen, the video portion (top right hand
corner) is just blank.
In the MPEG files that work, I see the first frame of the
video. So, Flash 8 Video Encoder does not recognize there is a
video portion. Also, in Advanced Settings, in the Encodign tab, the
Encode Video checkbox is grayed out and not selectable. Only the
Encode Audio is checkable.
In writing this, I think the problem is my MPEG file. So I'll
continue to search the net for solutions to this. I just hope
someone has run into this issue in this forum and provide some
guidance.
Thanks.

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.

Flash CS3 Video Encoder

I
When I use "Flash CS3 Video Encoder" I get a watermark that
says "created with flip4mac WMV demo". It Is not suppose to come
ready to be used with the flash version? No where says that I have
to buy a third part software.
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!

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?

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...

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

You won't be able to encode this file. Your computer doesn't

I am having success with other quicktime vids, so what gives?

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 & .VOB

I receive .vob files and would like to go directly from them
to a .flv using the Flash 8 video encoder, but am not able. Does
anyone know if there are any work arounds or plugins to do this? Is
any one else has success doing this. I would like to avoid
converting the .vob into a .dv/mov/mov/avi/etc.... to get this to
work.
Thanks.

I should have been more clear.

Flash 8 Video Encoder multiple instances

Is there any way I can set up to run multiple instances of
Flash 8 Video Encoder to take advantage of a multi core resource? I
have a dual CPU dual Opteron box (ie, 4 cores available) and find
it disappointing to see such slow renders and all that CPU going to
waste.
On the other hand, does anyone know of a really good, fast,
multi-threaded ON2 VP6 solution? I also use Autodesk Cleaner which
is still dependent on the Flash 8 encoder (and therefor on
Quicktime) and doesn't do any better, and is also very unstable
around Quicktime.

Ah, yes, I had missed that, thank you. There are two sliders
(Win Version) : Compression Thread Active Priority and Inactive
Priority. I'm not sure what that means, but did a test with just
the active thread to max, and it made no difference to apparent cpu
core activity nor to render time. I've just tried it again with
both sliders maxed, with the same result. It may be that on a
machine that hasn't got much headroom, or is concurrently doing a
lot of other work, that this makes a difference. It may also be the
difference between the Win and Mac versions of the software and the
respective OSes. (Maybe it isn't even hooked up for
Win :-) )
Anyway, really appreciate the input, I'm pretty sold on
Squeeze with ON2 VP6 for my Flash work, sticking with Cleaner for
my Windows Media, runs really well. I've just started an overnight
test running Squeeze on Flash output and Cleaner on WMV output
concurrently. Still no where near maxing the cores, so will be
interesting to see what it does to render times.

Flash 8 Video Encoder Error with Sony Handycam movie

Flash Player 10 does not work in IE or Firefox. What could it conflict with?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 (and sometimes IE 8.0.6001.18702IC) on Windows XP Pro, SP 3.
For some weeks now, I have been unable to hear any sounds on anything Flash-based, from YouTube to games at MSN.com or embedded videos on any site using Flash. Initially I had assumed it to be because of having QuickTime installed because I know QT likes to hijack everything. I uninstalled QT (and Real Player) and Flash Player then reinstalled Flash Player (and Shockwave Player just in case) and guess what?
Yup. Nothing. When I uninstalled everything, I used a program called Revo Uninstaller, which includes a registry cleaning option. I then used Abexo and WinASO's registry cleaners to make sure I got everything else that even looked like QuickTime off my hard drive.
When I reinstalled Flash, the following programs appeared in C:\Windows\system 32\Macromed\Flash:
Flash 10i.ocx (10.1.82.76)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX (10.1.82.76)
FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.82.76)
genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10i_ActiveX.dll (10.1.82.76)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.82.76)
KB931433
FlashInstall
Install
Flashplayer.xpt
When I check IE's "Tools" and look for add-ons, it says that Flash (Shockwave Flash) is enabled. I even enabled the other Adobe add-ons for Acrobat and such just to be sure. Firefox shows Shockwave Flash and Shockwave for Director both to be enabled. The Flash control panel settings don't help: I have all sites set to store about 100 KB on my computer to make sure there's enough room for everything but still nothing.
Before anyone asks, my audio drivers are up to date, thanks to the manufacturer's website. I have DirectX 9.0c installed and everything else works fine. I can play audio and video elsewhere with no problems. It's only Flash that's showing me this trouble and there's no hint as to what else could be interfering with Flash.
Any ideas?

Well, great. I tried the uninstall/reinstall before, but not with the uninstaller, so I was hopeful that this time might do it. No such luck. The video still plays, but no sound.
All the sound settings are working with everything else from games to media players. I set Windows' firewall to allow both the ActiveX and plugin for Flash, just in case.
In the Flash folder, I now have:
Flash10l.ocx (10.1.102.64)
Flash Util10l_ActiveX (10.1.102.64)
FlashUtil10l_Plugin (10.1.102.64)
Genuinst (6.0.2800.1531)
FlashUtil10l_ActiveX.dll (10.1.102.64)
NPSWF32.dll (10.1.102.64)
And the setup and text files that went with 'em.
I've also done a system restart since then and zip.
I went through IE and Firefox and looked for any file associations (like .flv) that I could manually change over to using Flash, but no go. The settings panels for Flash have all been set to allow YouTube specifically (as a test) and to allow 10KB of storage space for all affected sites.
Now what? I'm really not looking forward to a reformat and reinstall, but it's looking like that's what it's going to take.

Something is strange with your list of modules; you list FlashUntil10i_Plugin (10.1.102.64), but this is really 10.1.85.3
I recommend that you uninstall Flash Player completely (using http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html), then restart Windows, and delete all remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash.
Next reinstall both ActiveX (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe) and the plugin (http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe).

Video Posting Not Working for One Page - Working fine on others...

I have a page created using iWeb that features a video, however the video will not load properly when the page is opened.
here is a link to the page where the video DOES NOT work:
http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving/Surviving%20WEB.html\
I published the page using homepage and the video works, here is a link to the page where the video DOES WORK:
http://homepage.mac.com/minorstrachan/iMovieTheater6.html
As anyone can clearly see, the quality of the homepage created site is not nearly as good as the iWeb created site and therefore I would much prefer the iWeb site to work.
So far I have tried renaming the video, creating a new page in iWeb, creating a new site in iWeb, and re-encoding the video and using the new encode.
So far none of these solutions has worked. Does anyone have any advice/experience with this or similar problems?
And just for the record, I'm using the latest version of iWeb, 1.1.2.
Thank You,
My personal email address is [email protected]

At the very least, you should take the last slash off the end of that URL above....otherwise it won't work... like this...
http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving/Surviving%20WEB.html
To better shield you from making errors like this, you should focus on using the shortest URL possible to get to your page. For your situation with multiple sites, you can use this general URL format...
http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename , which would yield...
http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving
That should fix your problem.

Anyone have a fix for Facebook video chat not working in Mavericks?

I have seen many people having the problem of video chat not working in Facbook since upgrading to Mavericks. The good news is the camera icon has reappeared, but it still is not working.
Any help would be AWESOME!!
thx

Hi,
If it is in Messages it will need to be Messages to Messages.
i.e. a Mac Buddy also using iChat or Messages to do Jabber Video chats in the app.
This means it will not connect to someone using a Jabber app that can do Video or the web Page login and using "chat" from there.
I believe the Web Browser method with Facebook's own end to end connection use Flash.
You may need to update a version of Flash if your have it or install it if you do not.
FaceTime would not connect to the Jabber connections that Facebook is running.
FaceTime is it's own service and does not connect to others.
Messages and FaceTime are run on different servers and you can in fact run different IDs in each.
(this can causes issues when your Invoke a FaceTime Video Chat from Messages which presumes the Contact is using the same ID).
