Flash FLV for DVD?

I've a client who asked for a bid on a project, which piqued
my curiosity.However, from
my probing it seems they wanted the Quicktime movies turned
into FLV files
but wanted them for DVDs. They were not as yet concerned
about output for
the web.
I was curious and a bit confused and then wondered about the
aspect ratios
of Flash on a DVD. Their original QT movs would be 720x486
and FLV output
is 680x480.
The question: what happens when you have FLV aspect ratios on
DVD and then
you play the dvd on computer or tv? Do you get the clipping
or black bars
on both outputs?
Or should you (can you) render a Flash FLV in the 720x486
mode, or 720x480?
They never defined for me clearly their final output goal but
wanted a 1
week turn around on 45 hours of QT. I told them it "might" be
possible in
single pass VBR, but...
It seems they want a bank of computers, and I could only run
2 full time on
processing. Anyone know of big production houses that do this
type of
transfer full time and do it at a reasonable rate?

Thanks for recommendation. The DVD2Web Converter does look like the appropriate tool.

Flash Application for Mac won't open from DVD disc

I've created a Flash application for a Mac and I have the latest security fix/update for Flash (that was supposed to fix Flash Players and etc.). I've burned the file onto a CD and a DVD. The file plays/opens from the CD but it won't play from the DVD.
Has anyone run into this before?

Well I found some sort of solution. I was burning both discs from a PC. I finally burned the DVD from a Mac and now it works!

Can't convert MP4 to .fLV for flash using encoder CC 2014

Hi
Seriously adobe, I wish I never upgraded to CC, it's been a nightmare.
I need to convert an MP4 to an .flv for flash pro CC. Encoder CC no longer supports this, which is UNBELIEVABLE....
I use a third party vendor for video in flash banner advertising and it only supports .flv files.
Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?

The previous version of Adobe Media Encoder or After Effects, which you can have installed alongside the current version:
removal of FLV and F4V export features from Adobe Media Encoder, After Effects, and Premiere Pro

Can flash make a dvd for tv?

Hi,
Thanks for any help anyone can offer. I have a project that
is requiring me to create a dvd with video and menus and such. I
was wondering if anyone knew if flash has the capabilities to do
this. If you know of any tutorials? I know Director can do it I
just don’t know director like I know flash and I don’t
want to have to buy it for one project.
Thank you so much!

No, flash is not DVD capable.
DVD menus are made of videos and Bitmap images, so the only
thing you can use
flash for, is to create some animation, export it to video
format and then use some
3rd party tools to use that video to assemble menus. No way
to make it directly out
of flash. As you said, Director is much better choice for it.

Burning Flash movie to DVD

Hi
I am creating a flash animation to be projected. I have to burn in onto a dvd. I have tried converting the .mov file that flash exports, and flv to mpeg. The preview looks fine, but every time the dvd quality is terrible. I have tried HD, h. 264, NTSC. I have also tried converting a .swf to mpeg with no luck.
I am using flash CS5.
Please help.
I was wondering if I try to burn the html file that flash creates to DVD, would that work? Or should I try exporting the image sequence and put it back together in another program such as Final Cut or imovie? Should I use something other than Encore to convert the files?

It's strange that a dvd would be so problematic, especially since it is not a long movie, it has no complicated video or images.
See Jim's suggestion.
DVD is TV, not computer; the specs that determine how DVDs behave on DVD players are very exacting. But primarily, you are no longer creating flash for computer, but for TV/DVD. Follow those rules and you'll get what you are after.

FireFox/Flash update, now streaming Flash/FLV videos do not play

After upgrading to FireFox 13 and Flash, my FireFox no longer plays Flash/FLV or YouTube videos. Spending countless hours installing, reinstalling, searching on the web for resolution, I have to say that I may finally switching to a different browser. This is totally an inexcusable bug either on Mozilla's or Adobe's part. Streaming YouTube or any kind of online video is a must, without it, it's like the internet without search engines.
I develop under 5 other browsers and all the other ones are playing the online videos without a hitch so I'm guessing it's not completely Adobe's error in this issue. Before anyone tries to send me the "try this.." I've tried them all....
1. clear cache, cookies
2. re-installled firefox 3.6.xx, 13 and even the beta 14 versions
3. re-installed shockwave and flash plugins
4. disabled all addons and plugins, starting in safe mode.
5. turned off hardware acceleration in flash settings
* I've pretty much given up, good thing I installed IE Plus so that I can actually run a tab in IE engine and that pulled up the video right away.... what's the point, might as well just use IE.
Too bad, FireFox was "THE" browser, seems to me every new version that comes out from Mozilla, it gets buggier and buggier. This time I have to say, it's a doosie.
Hope everyone is having better luck then me.

This may be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

HT3149 How do I export my iphoto album in the same order that it appears onto a flash drive or dvd?

How do I export one of my albums in iphoto in the same order that it appears onto a flash drive or dvd?

Remember that the FInder does not have the same sorting options that iPhoto has - no manual sorting for instance. So
File -> Export and in the resulting dialogue note the options for Naming Files
Album Name with Number will give you what you want.

What is better sky fire or flv for gaming sites

What is better sky fire or flv for gaming sites

You cannot play flash games on the iPad.
Skyfire only plays back video from some sites.
Any browsers claiming to play flash do so by sending the video to their computer, transcoding it to mp4, then stream it to you.

Conversion to FLV for Higher Education

Hello everyone, this question is also posted in the Adobe Video forum.
The headline for this could be: "College educator needs a tool for converting batches of digital video files to FLV for use in Adobe Presenter or other streaming solutions."
The college educator is me, or more precisely, an instructional designer who tries to find solutions to technological problems. My specialty is video development and deployment (Premiere Pro; Premiere Elements; Adobe Connect Pro and Presenter; Flash Media Server v. 2.*, Flash CS3, etc.).
Description of the problem: The utilization of video by college professors is exploding at my venue: the University of St. Francis, a prominent online learning provider in Illinois and the Midwest. The explosion is significantly due to the advent of "tapeless" video, via Sony Handycams, Aiptek camcorders, and others. But the current state of the "prosumer" industry is that of a grotesquely uneven playing field of different codecs, and the inability of some computers to handle different formats (e.g. MPG2, MOD, ASF, MOV, VOB-- many of which are different flavors of each other). Using digital video versus mini-DV tape is advantageous because of the miniscule time it takes to download a video file to a workstation. I can take an hour of digital video and import it into the computer in a matter of minutes, on a bread-and-butter Windows XP machine.
These imported video files (for discussion, I'll refer to these as MPG2), are fine for local use on the machine. An instructor brings a student over to watch an MPG2 of his speech to class for critique purposes. But for deployment-- to the web, to email, or to just the student's thumb drive-- the files are way too big. Conversion to a more manageable format: WMV or FLV is required. FLV is preferred because of the ease with which in can be imported into a Powerpoint/Adobe Presentation (USF is a heavy user of Adobe Presenter).
Adobe offers many solutions free of charge. The Adobe Media Player is one example. What is needed is a tool for instructors to batch convert video files of many different and competing formats to FLV. Currently, having trialed several freewares, the closest approximation to the ideal converter in my own opinion is "Prism" downloadable from TUCOWS and other sites. But like many freewares, "Prism" is sometimes a gateway, during installation, to other exotic softwares that the user does not need.
Adobe Flash comes packed with a wonderful tool-- the media encoder-- which allows batch processing of files to FLV. But you apparently cannot get this encoder without purchasing Flash. It's a wonderful software, but it's ease of use and expense is well beyond the reach of the average faculty member. Video-- itself-- is within the reach of the faculty member due to the proliferation of cheap camcorders and the availability of video editing programs that come bundled with the machine (e.g. Windows Movie Maker).
But the batch conversion solution is needed to take full advantage of the promise of digital video.
My question and suggestion: Can Adobe make its Flash Media Encoder available as a standalone freeware? Can it be versatile enough to handle many different kinds of codecs, or be able to integrate new codecs (different flavors of MPG2 for instance)?
I will probably post this question in a Flash forum as well as I think this issue crosses over.
Many thanks,
Glen Gummess

Exporting swf as flv for a multi-part demo

I am looking for a way to export and create a flv version of
a demo I just completed. The current swf demo pulls in several
different swf files at different points during the demo. Is there a
way to export the complete demo as a flv file?

Hi,
I do not know if there is easier way, but I suggest you can
collect all the demo in one file and export it to AVI or QT format
and convert it to FLV using the Flash FLV exported that comes with
Flash 8.
Hope you cna find an easier way

Convert mpeg or avi to flash video for Web

Hello,
I wanted to know how can you upload a mpeg, avi, or wmw to a
website and convert it to a flash video file? What software is
involved? What is the easiest method for doing this? Is there a tut
out there or a book that details this method?
Thanks,

hi, for your situation, you would expect a video converter software, to convert avi or mpeg to flash video (.flv) for web. You probably know that there are plenty of free video converter out online. like Sothink Free Video Converter which I used for while, and I am sure it supports FLV video conversion. you could have a try.

Flash .flv stand alone player.

Dear members:
I have recently downloaded some .flv files from the Internet
and tried to view them without any success. I have installed in my
computer the CS3 premium suite that includes Flash CS3 so I was
surprise that the videos wouldn't play. Right clicking on these
files I have the choice to open them using (1) Flash Player.app
which is selected as the default and also (2) Adobe Flash CS3.app,
(3) Flash MX 2004 and (4) SAFlashPlayer. None of these applications
actually plays the videos. When I select both Flash Player.app and
SAFlashPlayer the applications load and they appear Mac OS X's menu
bar but nothing happens.
Please forgive me if this is a basic question but I haven't
been able to locate a stand alone version of Flash Player for
download on Adobe's web site. The one I found seems to be the one
that is installed in browsers so that they can play Flash media.
Where can I find and download the stand alone Flash Player ?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, fredingston.
After I placed my original post I found a plug-in for
QuickTime that allows it to play Flash videos. The name is Perian
and does a very good job. Quite a convenient solution for those
with Macs.
Thanks to you second post I was able to find and download the
new Adobe Media Player and really liked it. The interface is quite
nice and I think it has more functions that I haven't yet had the
chance to explore (it seems far more than just a simple player).
I noticed that in Adobe Media Player the videos seem to play
with better quality so this will definitely become my default
player for Flash media from now on.
Thank you again for your reply and helpful answers to my
questions.
Best regards,
Joseph

Upgrading RAM and Flash Storage for higher capacity

If I purchase a MacBook Pro with Retina Display with 8GB or RAM and 256GB Flash Drive, can I later upgrade the RAM and Flash Drive for higher capacity?

Just to clarify...
If I were to purchase a "regular" MacBook Pro (non-"retina", DVD drive, FireWire port, etc.) and seek aftermarket options for...
(1: replacing the main RAM with 16 gigabytes of RAM (I understand that the newest "regular" MBP is limited to a BTO option of only 8 GB.)
and
(2: replacing the hard drive with a larger-capacity aftermarket Solid State Drive, preferably one with a capacity of either 768 gigabytes or 1 terabyte.
Do such aftermarket options exist for the newest "regular" MacBook Pro? Can this model handle 16 GB of RAM? If there are aftermarket kits available, who installs them?

How to Best Optimize Flash site for performance (not SEO)

I am a newbie to Flash design. I have build this site for my client www.888acolyte.com
I watched a bunch of YouTube Videos on how to stracture a site and then pulled together a lot of features from different learning resources.
I loved Flash for its animation capabilities and used a lot of time line tweening in my site layout. My background has a moving blurry colorful spots animation, my pages come out and assemble themselves as animations, transitions and rollover done as animations.
All of it done via Flash's time line tweening.
As the end result site is stattering in performance rather significantly. I am not sure if it is because of the animations I have employed or because of something else?
I used JPG instead of PNGs as they take a lesser size. I used an 80 quality in them out of Photoshop.
Every JPG is scaled to 75% of its actual size as I expect the site to be bigger on some bigger screens. I set it up to "Allow Full screen"
Flash Tab Settings:
In the export options :
JPG Quality = 80
No Sound
SWF Settings:
Checked "Compress Movie"
Checked "Include Hidden Layers"
Checked "Include XMP Metada"
UnChecked "Export SWC"
HTML Tab Settings:
Dimensions: 100%
Quality: High
I looked up some resources for "how to optimise a flash site" and seems that the best one around would be from 2009: http://www.netmagazine.com/tutorials/optimise-flash-movies
There is also this "magic button" "Save and Compact", which did not seem to have much effect on the final size of an .swf file.
I hope to receive a feedback on how to properly stracture and optimize a Flash site for the best performance.
If to go into details is too complicated perhaps someone can point me to a good learning resource on the topic?

If you're just needing a flash player, have you tried the JWPlayer from Longtail Video? That's what I'm using to view flash video on my site.
