Flash Encoding Help

I have a project that is rather large in screen size
(900x675). It is a 3D rendering of a sports arena that I needed to
be this large for various reasons.
The user experience is this: The user can see only a quarter
of the arena at any given time. When they want to see a different
view they would click an arrow button and a small transition movie
would play.
Here is where my video question comes in. My video are ripped
in quicktime, are 900x675 in size and are only 45 frames long (just
over 1 second). I purchased Sorenson Squeeze thinking it would help
deliver the best video quality but its poor at best. Very
bitmapped.
I am developing this in Flash 9 so is the flash video
compression codecs better than Sorenson? Also any help or
suggestions to increase the quality of video is greatly
appreciated. I know the dimensions are a bit large but the duration
is very short so I don't my file size is going to be an issue,
correct?
Here is a sample of what I am trying to accomplish and the
current state of my video
Sample
Thanks for any help you can give me.

I've seen on your screenshot that you are using the Spark
Codec, is that correct? If yes then the case is pretty clear, the
spark codec is really bad at such fine details.. When using the
Flash Video Encoder "delivered together with Flash CS3" you can
choose to use on2 VP6 Codec which gives you a better quality. If
you don't care much about compatiblity you can also encode your
movies as H.264 and use the new Flash CS3 Update to play them out,
only downside is that your user needs to have Flash Player 9.0.115
installed which has been released just a few weeks ago.
From my point of view use on2VP6 and H.264 compare them, and
use what fits best.
If you need help on how to plug the h.264 video to your
flvplayback component go check my blog for a short tutorial about
it.
PS: Which encoding settings have you used?

S video with Flash Encoder 3.2

We stream a great number of events for clients around the country. We have just transitioned from Windows Media Encoder to Flash Encoder 3.2. Is there any work around for those clients of ours that use S video out of their cameras. Flash Encoder does not seem to work when the video output is through an S video plug. In Windows Media Encoder you could configure the encoder for eitehr composite or S video. I do not see this option available in Flash Encoder 3.2 Am I missing something? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank You

The option for using s-video or composite should be done on the grabber-card in youre computer.
widthout more information about youre setup, my only tip for you would be to start FMLE, select youre grabber card, and click on the button to the right, with an wrench on it to change settings on the card.

Flash Encoding Server Notifier Issue?

Just installed and managed to get the Flash Encoding Server working within a minute the only issue is with the Web Notifiers. The IIS error logs shows that the server is not replacing the token %destinationname%. I have checked the spelling 4 times and nothing. It works for the other tokens. I need help ASAP.

There is not a developer version of the Flash Media Encoding
Server available for download.

Flash Encoder and Camera Compatibility

I'm new to streaming & grateful for any knowledge you have on encoder/camera compatability? I'm looking for the highest quality that is compatible with the Adobe Flash Encoder for a Mac?

did u get any help with this? if so let me know

Flash encoder pro isn't encoding my file at all

I click add and then I chose the video file which I made on
my video camera and nothing happens. I am able to change music
files if I like but that is it. I have a mac power book G4 osx if
that helps. What can I do?

With Flash Encoder Pro, do you mean the shipped with Flash 8
/ CS3?
If nothing happens then it's mostly because the videocodec is
not supported.
Try using a normal mov file and see if the encoder
works.

Flash Encoder with Mogulus

Great enclder and being touted by Mogulus as better then
their own.....it is. Works great, however, problem exists when
trying to go into the Mogulus studio control while it is running
and feeding.
My computer, Vista. Have not tried on XP, however i can't
believe that ver 2.5 isn't vista ready.
Any other Mogulus users having problems?

First the encoder loads, see the web cam, Creative Pro....no
problem. Sends the feed to the mogulus channel, is viewable when
loading the channel.
Problem - when logging into the Mogulus control panel to run
the live show, the panel loads, you see the panel seeing the
camera, trying to load it....it tries to load it....three seconds
later the browser crashes.
Tried pretty much every setting on the encoder to see if that
was the problem...no difference.
The feed goes into the Mogulus server just fine. Mogulus is
pushing the Flash encoder....I can't help but think there is
something going on with Vista, but thought I would post here just
in case it is me.

Flash encoder changes color of movie

Hello,
When I encode a movie to .flv from a high quality format like
.avi or .mov the flash encoder encodes a flv where the colors are
not the same as the original .avi or .mov, everything else is still
functioning except the color. Whats up? Thanks for your
help.

yes. you could use an xml or text file to furnish colors to
flash.

How to pragrammatically control Flash Encoder

Hello there,
I need to write a program which receives "START ENCODER",
"STOP ENCODER", "START ARCHIVING", "STOP ARCHIVING" commands from a
socket, here the "ENCODER" means the flash encoder, "ARCHIVING"
means saving the encodings to a file.
I have surfed the web for a while but still the only link
related is "
http://flex.sys-con.com/node/388456".
However the solution in this link is not enough for me. I also
searched the command-line controls of the Flash Media Live Encoder,
and seems it only has command -line controls to start and stop an
encoder. Using these two command-line controls, I can write a C#
program to fulfill "START ENCODER" and "STOP ENCODER" commands, but
have no idea how to fulfill the other two commands "START
ARCHIVING", "STOP ARCHIVING".
ActionScript came to my sight for many times, but seems I
cannot use it to develop the program I want. Flash Media Live
Encoder installs on Windows XP. I think I should use C# (or VB) on
.NET to implement the program.
Any idea about my question? Thanks a lot for your reply in
advance.

Hi fmeuser,
Thanks so much for your helpful reply! I still have further questions:
1. What's script to use to control the GUI mode encoder? I tried the following "start_encoder.vbs":
     Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
     WshShell.Run "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3\FlashMediaLiveEncoder.exe", 9
     'parameter: 0=hide, 7=minimized, 9=normal
     'Give FME time to load
     WScript.Sleep 5000 'milliseconds to wait
     WshShell.AppActivate "Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder"
     WshShell.SendKeys "%fo" 'Open a custom config
     WshShell.SendKeys "startup.xml"
     WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" 'Start encoding
     WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}" 'Confirm
But when click on this file I got the error:
     Script: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3\start_encoder.vbs
     Line:   2
     Char: 1
     Error: The system cannot find the file specified.
     Code: 80070002
     Source: (null)
I realized that the startup.xml is under "Application Data\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3" directory. Should I move it to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flash Media Live Encoder 3\"?
2. How to write the stop the encoder if there are multiple encoders running? Suppose I have the following script "stop_encoder.vbs":
     WshShell.AppActivate "Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder"
     WshShell.SendKeys "%fx"
     WshShell.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
You can see it has nothing to indicate which encoder to stop.
3. Is there any other script to use to control the encoders? Where to get the reference on how to write them?
Thanks a lot!

Video Encoder help

Hello, I'm trying to encode a perfectly good MPEG file but in
the Advanced Settings in the Flash Encoder my Video options are
grayed out. It is encoding the audio track. What would be causing
this? The movie I'm trying to encode plays fine in the windows
media player. My encoder seems okay because when I Add a .avi file
the Video encoding options are fine.
Please help.
-Kriszti

I found a way were Flash Video Encoder can recognize a
perfectly good MPEG. I downloaded TMPGEnc MPEG Editor v2 and used
it to Multiplex the MPEG (Video Input = MPEG file and Audio Input =
MPEG file) to another file, which basically rewrites the MPEG to
another MPEG file. My Flash Video Encoder suddenly recognizes the
new MPEG file. It looks exactly the same using Windows Media
Player. Original MPEG is slightly bigger than the new one.
I wish Flash Video Encoder would throw an exception or error
code as to what in the MPEG file it does not like instead of
processing the MPEG file and the .FLV being blank.
Hope this helps someone.

Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser? It is already installed, I just don't use it. I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it? If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

WCV200 Camera using Adobe Flash Encoder

Hi all,
I have searched the forum for this topic and come up with no treads.
Is it possible to use the WCV200 camera with Adobe Flash Encoder? I am hopeing to use this to feed the stream into the Flash Server so I can put it onto a website.
Thanks,
Andy

I believe this can’t be done. You can only use the camera using the web utility or the camera utility software to view the video of the camera especially via live feed.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Adobe Flash Encoder on Windows Server 2003 and SDI inputs

Has anyone out there successfully installed and run the Adobe
Flash Encoder on a Windows Server 2003 system?
Also, will the Flash Encoder accept audio and video sourced
from an Osprey 2000 capture card using an SDI input?

Does anyone have any alternate I/O solutions for inputting
Composite, Component, SDI, XLR? I've beel looking for a rack
mounted box (preferably) that inputs accepts analog and digital
formats and outputs a firewire feed that can be input into my Flash
Media Encoder box (I thought Motu's V4HD fit the bill, but after
talking to them apparently it will not work...).

Hi I want to broadcast recorded video using flash encoder?

Hi I want to broadcast recorded video using flash encoder, or their is any other way for broadcating recorded media files as live tv?

Hi,
You can do server side play of the recorded media file. After that once any one connects to that application, that file will be played as live. Following is the code to do this:
var streamname="stream_name.flv"; //Name of the recorded media file
application.onAppStart=function(){
          application.onNCA();
application.onConnect=function(clientObj){
          application.acceptConnection(clientObj);
          trace("***Connected : "+isConnected);
application.onNCA=function(){
          trace("onCA "+streamname);
          streamObj=Stream.get("foo"); // foo will be the live stream name
                    streamObj.onStatus = onStreamStatus;
                    trace("here "+streamname.split(".")[1]);
                    switch(streamname.split(".")[1]){
                              case "mp4":
                              case "3gp":
                              case "f4v":
                                        streamPlayName="mp4:"+streamname;
                                        break;
                              case "mp3":
                                        streamPlayName="mp3:"+streamname.split(".")[0];
                                        break;
                              case "flv":
                                        streamPlayName=streamname.split(".")[0];
                                        break;
                    trace(streamPlayName);
                    streamObj.play(streamPlayName);
function onStreamStatus(info){
          trace("Stream "+info.code);
application.onDisconnect=function(clientObj){
          application.shutdown();
Anyone connecting to above app will be able to play "foo" as livestream name.
