Flash to Quicktime on Intel

We have experienced a number of output issues related to Flash 8-to-Quicktime publishing on MacBook Pro and Intel-based iMacs. Error messages related to the incorrect version of Quicktime appear, and the process fails. This does not happen on older G5 and G4 processor machines running the same software.
It is our general feeling that there is a bug in Flash 8 running on Intel that is inhibiting this process, perhaps related to Rosetta. I can't find discussions about this or support topics in the knowledge base. I would be interested if other developers are experiencing this same problem.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

We are aware of these two issues - this is not the problem I am faced with. We have made these 2 changes you mentioned and we see a difference in output between Intel- and nonIntel-based machines. The Intel machines fail when publishing Flash to Quicktime with an error message re: Quicktime components missing.
This is the problem we are trying to correct.
There are two issues:
QuickTime Player can only view (and interact) with
files "published" as version 5, or lower. The Flash
app will allow you to make these settings.
QuickTime Player (most recent update) has "disabled"
Flash playback by default (security issues and
concerns) so each user must open the System
Preferences (Mac) or Control Panel (PC) and place a
check mark to "Enable Flash". This is for Flash
tracks found inside .mov files or for import (Pro
users) of .swf files.
They should also quit and relaunch the Player to make
this change.

yes, i'm definitly experiencing this problem. Is there any
way around it? Is it possible to publish it as something else, like
a .swf ; post it on the internet, take it from the internet into a
different Flash program, like MX 2004, and save as a .fla, then
republish it from that program?

Unable to load Flash 9 on my Intel MacBook Pro

Unable to load Flash 9 on my Intel MacBook Pro but can on my
Intel iMac. I spoke with a Tech from the Mac Store service area and
was told that there in a thread on this issue but I can't find it.
The basic issue is that I am able to load Adobe Flash Player
9 on my Intel iMac but not on my Intel MacBook Pro and I'm unable
to determain why. I tryed uninstalling and reinstalling three times
and found no difference.
If someone could help me I'd be thankful.

I bought the $29 version of Snow Leopard (not the kosher way of doing things, i know.
If you read the license agreement, there's actually no difference between what's allowed with the $29 copy and the $169 boxed set. The only difference is that the boxed set also includes iLife and iWork. There is also, despite what some will have you believe, nothing in the license agreement that requires Leopard to be pre-installed except in the case of the $10 disk purchased as part of the Up-to-Date program (for folks who bought a machine shortly before SL was released). So, you're not being bitten by some technical requirement for Leopard to be present.
I get a flashing folder with a question mark. My disk drive makes some crazy noises as well, and it seems to start running fast, then slowing down. I think it may have caused a minor scratch on the disk as well.
Sounds like it's possible the drive could be failing, though that's impossible to say for sure remotely. One man's crazy noises are another man's normal state of operations. Do other DVDs work in your drive?
I'll also need to do an "Archive & Install" since there are tons of important files on this machine.
*DO NOT* attempt to install a system update on this machine unless you have good backups! If something goes wrong, you're screwed if you didn't have a backup. Hopefully, you have not reached that point already... I'm unclear on whether your machine is no longer able to boot, or if it's only having trouble when you try to boot from the SL disk.
If your machine is still functional, your first priority before doing *+anything else+* should be to make at least two backups. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> for assistance with this.
If your machine can't boot anymore, let us know and we'll offer some troubleshooting tips. And don't try to do anything else with it until you've consulted with some expert, whether here or at an Apple Store or somewhere else.

Flash to Quicktime

I'm in Flash 8 on a PC. I'm trying to export a quicktime

Exporting High Quality Flash to Quicktime for use in FCP4.5

I am currently working on a interactive DVD production
including various Flash animations. I've tried exporting them as
almost every possible combination of compressions I could think of
using. Every time I import any clip (although seeming smooth in
previews or as stand alone clips...in both flash and quicktime
formats), they always seem to be choppy once imported into Final
Cut Pro 4.5, DVD Studiio Pro , or Motion !!! .
If anyone could give me some advice on what would be the best
compression to use within Flash's export functions , to then be
able to use within FCP 4.5 .... it would be very appreciated ! This
is tormenting me right now !!!!
Thx

You're probably already doing this but be sure that the Flash original files are the same image size and run at the same frame rate as the video that you want to edit into. When you export from Flash as Quicktime use the Apple none compression option. This will give you the best possible file to work with. If you don't see the none compression option you can follow this set of instructions: missing "none" compression in Quicktime 7.6.6 p... | Apple Support Communities

Exporting Flash to quicktime error

I am trying to export Flash to Quicktime and recieve the
following message -
"the installed version of quicktime does not support this
type of macromedia Flash movie. Quicktime requires Flash 5 or
before?"
I reset the settings to Flash 5 - but still comes up with the
error message. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks Jodi

I'm having the same problem. Every website I find on the
topic simply says to change the publish settings to Flash 5 - but
it's still not working. Anyone have insight? I even uninstalled my
previous version of QuickTime and re-installed the most current
(7.4.5) - no luck.

Serving Flash and Quicktime

Hello,
I'm looking for a good solution to serve versions of demo reel videos as Flash and Quicktime?
Does anyone know good methods to common approachs to do this?
I'm looking for a way in particular to have an FLV fall back into a Quicktime movie if the user didn't have Flash Player?
Thank you in advance, much appreciated!

I had the same symptoms and realized today that the answer was to make sure that 'Enable plug-ins' was checked under:
Safari
Preferences
Security
I don't know why it was unchecked all of a sudden, but maybe this will work for you?

Which Tablet plays both Flash and Quicktime

Hello need some advise from you~
I am looking at a Tablet that supports both Flash and Quicktime.
So far I only know that Honeycomb 3.0 supports flash. But you can download this "Rock Player" application to run Quicktime.
On the other hand, I Pad supports quicktime and not flash.
What about the blackberry playbook. I am curiouse about its OS?
Over all I am lookign for a tablet that will play both flash and quicktime straight on the web. ex: apple movie trailer / youtube
Any suggestions? thank you very much.

Can't View Flash sites, Quicktime Logo Error

I have a Intel based Mac that was running Flash Player 8 for
my browsers, Safari, FireFox and IE. Things were going just dandy
until I came across a site that needed Flash Player 9 in order to
view. So I go to the Macromedia download center to get the latest
version of Flash Player 9 and install the Intel based Mac version.
Unfortunately, not only can I not see the Flash test page on
Macromedia's site but now I can see any Flash website at all in all
3 browsers. I get a Quicktime Logo with a question mark over it. I
went through every step on Macromedia's Flash Player
Troubleshooting list and no luck. Would anyone happen to know how
to fix this?
Thanks very much!

Flash and quicktime export not possible at all!

hi iwork dev team!
as there was no result on my prev post, here again:
i use keynote'08 4.02 on imac with 2gb and osx 10.5.2.
i created a presentation with 15 slides and over all 16,5 minutes.
each slide has a mp3 sound file attached (the speakers voice recorded externally).
now i am facing following problems on *export to flash* (export is around 18mb):
1) synchronization of voice and effects is different than inside keynote - i fixed this by changing times and export/test cycles, as long until i run sync in swf (please make it sync - this is terrible).
2) starting with slide 13 some objects do not appear - in further slides many objects do not appear. the sound and time is ok, but not much to see. if i split the presentation into 2 parts, the export works fine, all objects appear in all slides, but i found no way to combine those 2 swf files....
3) in one slide i found out that the order of appearing/disappearing objects confuses the swf export, so that many objects afterwards are not at all shown.... i played around long and splitted the slide in 2 slides and with some workarounds i got it show all objects.
4) it would be great if at least some transitions and most effects would be supported and times of effects would be the same inside keynote and in exported swf.
*exporting to quicktime*:
1) first i had one large mp3 for the whole presentation and added it as soundtrack and synced it inside keynote. exporting this to quicktime made it run async. but at least export was possible for the full presentation.
2) i splitted the mp3 for each slide and added each mp3 to each corresponding slide. this way i made it possible to export to swf (see above). but quicktime export now has no sound and slide shows up nearly endless.... qt export is impossible.
what can i do?
at least it would help me if i can export ONE swf file.
best would be if it has same sync inside keynote and in swf - but i can live for now with swf export optimized sync that doesnt work inside keynote. but it should be fixed at least in the future....

I'm currently having a similar problem, where the Flash exported by Keynote seems to randomly miss some objects on the page that appear after a click or a delay. In fact, in one case, I had embedded a EPS file in the slide, and some parts of the embedded file were exported to Flash but not others. I'm using Keynote 3.0.2, so I'm sorry to hear that Keynote '08 still has this bug which makes Flash export pretty awful to deal with.

In need of a flash/html5/quicktime audio/video media player for a website

Hello everybody,
I'm looking to get some kind of audio/video media player for a website. I would like it to be customizable, and also most likely read a play list from some kind of text file or xml file.
Normally, I would look for some kind of flash media player, but recently the site might be read from Apple mobile devices also, which of course not flash which might be a problem, so I'm also looking into other options such as some kind of QuickTime media player web application or even html5 player.
I do not personally know how to code in flash or HTML 5, so I would be willing to hire someone to help out.
Is HTML 5 for long enough that it would play on most current browsers? I would imagine that HTML 5 might not work on older browsers–is this correct?
I don't know of any QuickTime media players - any links to get me started?
Does anyone know some solutions to this flash / apple issue?

Looks like you are getting a very good lesson in why Flash is the best choice for a Web media player.... plentilful, easily customizable, and is a "right now" solution. Good luck on getting your viewers to download and install the codex need to play an Ogg video!
To add the extra accessabilty for the iPhone etc, use swfobject to provide an alternative video file type... the .mov
Here is an example of a Flash video that plays on the iPhone (well sort of..):
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/qt/play_qt.html
Using swfobject for Flash detection, if the Web browser has the Flash plugin, the Flash .flv video is displayed, if not, the QT, .mov version is displayed.
View the source code for more exact details.
If the Web browser does not have the Flash plugin, alternate content is displayed, which in this case happens to be a QT player, which displays a .mov video. In this case it's just a single video. Now maybe you have a QT player with playlist... but let me tell you.. they are a lot rarer than Flash media players with playlists, xml playlist, etc.... Strong case for Flash here..
But your alt content could just as easily hold a QT media player (with playlist) if such an animal exists.

Adobe Media Encoder CS4 H.264 iPod video format green flashes in Quicktime

Quicktime 7.3.1 apparently shows no flashes but 7.4.5, 7.5.5 and 7.6 all show green flashes on videos encoded in AME CS4 H.264 iPod video small.
No other quicktime versions tested.
Videos play fine in VLC Player and Adobe Media Player.
Videos encoded with the latest MediaCoder sourceforge application play fine in Quicktime.
Clearly something's wrong with the way Adobe exports and the way quicktime 7.3+ reads H.264 videos.

I think it may be the QuickTime Player issue and not Adobe Media Encoder. Its seems to play find in other players like Adobe Media Player and Windows Media Player after installing Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack 2.2c. (http://download.cnet.com/Windows-Essentials-Media-Codec-Pack/3000-2140_4-1066270 9.html). Haven't check to see if it plays correctly on my i-Touch. Not all videos I encode from .AVI to .MP4 using the i-Pod small preset seem to have this issue.

Exporting to Flash using Quicktime pro

I'm trying to export a 43 min vid from FCP6 using quicktime conversion. I want to export to Flash. Its for web content, and its in widescreen.
Any help with size and converting to flash would help. I've never done web content before.
Thanks!!
tec24

First, some questions: 1) what's the purpose? 2) who's your intended audience? 3) has it got to be done quickly, as in a short deadline? 4) Why Flash? 5) Why 43 minutes (have you ever in your life watched a 43 minute streaming video on the internet on anything but the most powerful 'puter with the highest-speed, dedicated internet connection)? 6) Do you care that what people see you throw up on the internet ultimately reflects on how you yourself are perceived by those same people?
For what could be a quick disaster, or if this project is mainly for sh*ts and giggles, follow the advice given in the first reply, post it pronto and don't bother with the rest of THIS reply.
Or, if you're on a deadline, pay someone who TRULY knows what they're doing to do it for you -- and they might still balk (if they have any scruples) at a 43 minute web video unless you've got a really good reason to make folks wait for way longer than 43 minutes of stop-and-start Flash stuff.
Otherwise, if you're not in a hurry:
FIRST, procure a book on the subject, like Apple's "QuickTime for the Web" (available on line and at Borders, for sure).
THEN, with some reading under your belt, be prepared to start experimenting with combinations of smaller movie dimensions and FPS rates (generally, half of what the original is); then on to varying types of video compression (Sorenson or Sorenson3 have historically given some of the best results, with H.264, the newest and more difficult to configure giving the truest quality, but not discounting the various MPEG settings; and last, but certainly not least, playing with your audio compressions to see what you're willing to lose in order to (hopefully) gain an internet audience. Like it or not, it depends on YOUR vid's content and audio as to how to make it small enough to be seen in its best internet presence.
OR, You might try some of Compressor's export settings -- and be totally satisfied. It's all relative to the work you've created and how long you're willing to work at what you're willing to sacrifice to still pull off a good illusion of your original video at a fraction of its original size.
I wish it weren't so, but there's no quick and easy answer to your question if you're serious at all about the end result. You have to consider all the angles I've posed (and then some) to get good results that'll show YOU in your best light.

Scrolling of youtube flash or quicktime content ugly

I have a page with embedded Youtube and Quicktime movies. When I scroll the part of the page with this content, it moves outside of the div that it is in. I know this is also an HTML question, but since I only experience the problem with Safari, I post this question here. I have searched a lot on different forums but could not find a clear solution. I know there have been several scrolling issues with some versions of Safari, but is there a solution? Updating or restarting the browser is not a solution for me, because my client wants the page to work correctly for any Safari user. I have made two test pages here:
http://www.letman.com/testyoutube.html
http://www.letman.com/testquicktime.html
Any feedback would be very much appreciated.

After you download and install Flash Player, you need to Repair Disk Permissions using Disk Utility, and you need to make sure that QuickTime isn't trying to handle the swf files by deselecting Flash Media in the QuickTime System Preferences MIME Settings. YouTube videos are streamed through Flash so you shouldn't try to use QuickTime to view them.

Flash/Java/Quicktime?/Safari Problem

Alright, I have this pretty large problem in my case.
I just updated to QT 7.3 and iTunes 7.5, restarted my computer because of the update.
& went on normally, then when trying to load a site like youtube.com (with its flash videos and other things)
Nothing shows up for things swf/flash/java based.
I then restarted my computer again, but the same problem occurs.
I have repaired disk permissions, but that didnt do anything.
I reinstalled flash and java. and 'Reset' Safari.
So what am I suppose to do now?

I'm having a similar problem ever since I did the 10.4.11 update. If I use the computer after having been in sleep mode all flash content comes up with a quicktime symbol and a question in front of it when using safari 3.0.4 and in firefox nothing comes up. The first time it did this a dialog box popped up and asked if I would like to enable quicktime to play flash. Enabling or disabling doesn't seem to affect the problem, however if I restart the computer everything is fine. I would prefer to be able to put the darn thing to sleep instead of having to restart every time i want to get online. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
