I don't work for Lynda.com, but I have a hunch.
Lynda.com has been producing training videos for a
looooooong time.
Back in the day, before Flash video became so popular,
QuickTime was (I'd
say) the best way to deliver video on CDs and over the
Internet. So they
built QuickTime into their production workflow ... and there
you have it.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
That's just a wild guess. Of course, it simply be that they
prefer
QuickTime over FLV, just like someone prefers Coke over
Pepsi, or vice
versa. They also produce tutorials for Microsoft Office, and
those videos
are also done in QuickTime, as opposed to, say, Windows Media
(WMV) files.
Should they use the video format of whatever company owns
the software
they're training on? ;)

Know any Good Flash Training DVD's For Sale?

Hi, I am looking to purchase some good flash training videos
for building sites and animation. I was wondering if anyone could
recommend any.
Thanks

It may be more practical to get a membership to lynda.com or
totaltraining.com. We have found software updates are frequent and
the membership allows us to keep up with new versions. Our old
"videos" sit on shelves and the cost of a few DVD's was alot more
than one year membership to one of these services.

Try the LabView training at Connexions
I have found the these viedos produced with CAMTASTA manage to slip through my companies web filter.

Need recommendation for training video software and Flash

Can the experts here please recommend some product to record a computer screen session that then imports well into Flash?
I want to build training videos that record the screen session and my voice and am looking for a software product that can do this.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Jay

Thanks for the link but this did not meet our requirement and I hope that
some expert here in this forum can help. There are hundreds of
solutions out there but most are just screen session recorders without voice.
A couple have a feature to add voice seperately. What we need is similar to
an actual video recording including voice where both go hand in hand with any
seprate integration.
A video camera would not be practical, but certainly there must be some software
that would provide similar recording, both the screen session and sound?
This woule be a recording of the screen session with a person speaking into a microphone.
Any recommendations?
Thanks again,
Jay

QT logo with Question Mark and Blank screen sound ok on training videos

I suddenly had all sort of problems (before 10.4.9) with QT logo and Question Marks throughout all browsers and also suddenly unable to continue training programs using files such as "avibasicmono.htm" and "introbasicmono.htm" .
finally think I have solved the QT logo by replacing Flash 9.0 with the old 8.022.
I could now also see current issues of magazines again on a site www.picturebusiness.uk.com (weird naming).
however I am not able to see the training videos at all but I hear the AVI files
Macosx 10.4.9 Quicktime 7.1.3 (removed 7.1.5 to try that option did not work)
will stay with what works until I hear more...

www.picturebusiness.uk.com uses Flash Media.
Tell us more info about the AVI's. Are they found at that Site?
Give us a link.

How to setup firefox to play training videos from my hard drive

I have never watched videos, period.
I recently purchased some training videos, they are supposed to work in any browser.
They are SWF videos, I can play them on my SWF player.
They have a menu system when using browser that allows you to go from 1 video to another, or to a specif portion of any video.
My first guess would be to do it off line, but I have about 30 tabbed web pages open all the time.
I am also using Oracle VM, have 32 bit VISTA, and 32bit ubuntu setup on it.
I use firefox in Vista as IE8 crashes all the time.
So I have many options on how to do this if I knew how!!

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

Firefox will not play training videos from BMW university

I need to use BMW university (ICP) to view training videos. I use Linux (Linux mint 9) and Firefox. I can view them using the computers at work which of course are windows and have internet explorer. I have emailed BMW about this but they seem to be unwilling to change anything. Anyway. I use Adobe flash and Sun Java, the latest versions and have all the correct plugins. Firefox will work on every other site. I tried using Opera but I got an error message saying my Browser doesn't use Dynamic html, so I quit Opera. I love using Firefox and would love to have it work on this site. I can't give you the URL for the site as it is protected and the property of BMW. I don't know what to try to get it working, maybe it will never work, maybe there is proprietary windows stuff built into the site and it just wont work with Linux or Firefox.

What kind of content is that?<br />
Are that Flash videos?
You have the Flash player, so if it is Flash then it should work.
Which player do you see if you right-click on it in IE ?

Is it possible to record the output of a Windows Laptop in iMove to create training videos?

I have been asked by my company to look at creating some training videos of the software we make. The software itself runs on a windows platform. So I am looking for a way to capture the video from my work windows 7 laptop and import this into iMovie.
Thanks
Paul

I think you would be better off using a program like Camtasia on the Windows PC and doing a "screen capture" right there in the PC itself. Camtasia has some editing capabilities as well. It might save some time trying to transfer the video to the Mac as well. Just some ideas.

I have a HP Pavillion all-in-one with AMD processor running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Flash Player 16.0.0.235 with all current drivers. I'm consistantly experiencing a green sceen on all Flash Player videos but I have sound.

How to watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari

How do I watch flash based videos without adobe flash installed using Safari?

Once you have Chrome installed, activate the Develop menu in Safari (go to Safari Preferences > Advanced > Show Develop Menu). You then will see under the Develop menu the Open Page With option and Chrome will be listed there.
So each time you open a page with Safari requiring Flash, you use that menu option to open the same page in Chrome.

Advice on Exporting Flash To Video

Greetings everyone. I'm in a bit of a pickle. I promised a
client that I would be able to export the flash piece I did for
them into a Quicktime Movie. I am using Flash 8, and using many
Flash 8 only features (i.e. blending modes, blur filters). Now, I
know that Flash 8's Quicktime export can't support that stuff, but
I figured I'd export it as a PNG sequence, import the sequence into
Premiere and life would be grand.
HOWEVER, I'm also using Actionscript to create some particle
effects (fairy dust if you must know). And I just realized to my
horror that PNG Sequences, actually NOTHING, exports actionscripted
events. AAAGH!
So I wanted the forums opinions on the following options:
1. Does Flash CS3's export tools take Blending Modes,
Filters, and Actionscripted events into consideration? I'll upgrade
if I have to.
2. Is there a third party tool that can save images from a
published .SWF file? Like a screen capture tool?
3. Is there any way to pause a .SWF and advance it frame by
frame? I'm desperate enough to print screen every frame if I have
to...
Thanks in advance!

flashants.com is where you can get the SWF2Video tool which
is also talked about in the artile I
wrote - what do you mean you couldn't see it?
The Quicktime Exporter is designed to export dynamic content
- so yes, in theory it will do what you
want - but beware - it is not perfect - in fact, if you have
a high frame rate (who doesn't) and a
lot of animation - forget about it. Here's my standard
copy/paste response to this feature:
Turn off audio. The audio in a Flash movie may also slow the
performance
possibly causing dropped frames. Turn off the audio, if you
have many
dropped frames in the first attempt. Other video editing
tools can be used
to add the audio to the video after export.
Reduce frame rate. If the movie dimension is a full size
NTSC video, 740 x
480, and frame rate is 30 fps, you are more likely to have
dropped frames.
Reduce the fps of Flash movie increase the chance of
grabbing all the
frames. Other video editing tools can be used to adjust the
frame rate of
the video after export.
Optimize your animation. Try to avoid a lot of screen
motion. The greater
the area of change on the screen, the more likely slowdown
will occur. Also,
if possible, restrict your use of transparency and alpha
channels as they
too can cause poor performance.
Use ActionScript 3. Animation created by ActionScript 2 and
ActionScript 3
are different in play back performance. Convert the
ActionScript in your
animation to ActionScript 3 for optimized performance.
Dimension settings in 2 places. The dimension settings in
Export Settings
dialog sets the dimension of the SWF movie to be captured.
The Size settings
in QuickTime Settings dialog sets the dimension of the
exported MOV files.
If the SWF size is smaller than the exported MOV size, the
picture quality
will be degraded; if it is larger than the exported MOV
file, you may have
better picture quality. For best quality (and often
performance) these
settings should match.
Most likely - you will experience dropped frames at best.
This feature is not perfect. SWF3Video
does an amazing job of converting SWF movies to AVI - it has
saved my *ss on many many many projects.

Question about F10 mapping in Tom W. training video

I started going through Tom's FCE4 HD training video yesterday and there's a part about mapping the F10 key so that it will insert a clip into the timeline. It appears the video was an earlier version of OS X because my system doesn't do the expose action on F10, mine toggles the sound on/off. Also the icon in the video where he makes a change to the key doesn't exist anymore. What I have in system preferences is something called expose/spaces so I looked there since the one he was using also had expose. But changing the F10 to be Option F10 there didn't seem to have any effect.
I've only had the Mac a week so I'm not familiar with how all these key mappings work and are assigned but I will be quick learner.
Thanks for any help if someone can tell me where I need to make this setting change.
Gil

You have one of the new aluminum keyboards which are similar to laptop keyboards. The DVD was made before those keyboards were widely used. There was a mention I thought about using laptop keyboards. Go to the Keyboard section in System Preferences and in the keyboard panel there is a check box you have to click on. That will activate the F keys for application use. To raise and lower the audio or do other keyboard functions assigned to them by the OS, you have to hold down the function key, which is marked FN.
