Flash Video Encoder CS3

I want to convert a 12M .wmv file to flash video. I set the
audio to be the same quality, make the dimensions smaller, and set
the lower than what the wmv is set for. For some reason my flv file
is 51M. How can I get the file size down closer to what the
original file's size is without having to make the quality lower
than the original's quality?

Of course it could be any of a hundred different things on your particular computer....
But I had problems the Flash Media Encoder when I did an install on a new machine. Apparently there was a .dll missing. I did a reinstall... still no luck, but one of the error messages mentioned the name of the .dll file or gave an error message number so I Googled that and apparently it was a fair common thing to happen. Downloaded the missing .dll file and all works well.... just can't remember exact details now
So try to reinstall Flash Media Encoder first.
If that doesn't work, see if you can get any more info out of the error messages... an error number etc. Then Google that number, you may find more info on what is causing the error.
Best of luck!

What video source files does Flash Video Encoder CS3 support?

I can't find this anywhere on the web. I successfully converted an AVI to FLV, but the quality wasn't very good, but that is because the AVI isn't very good. So I ripped it again with higher quality into an m4v format. It took over an hour for a 12 minute video only to say this error at the end:
The operation could not be completed because an error occurred.
Is there a list somewhere of the source video files supported?
thanks a lot,
Justin

There are options while converting to FLV to define the
quality, size etc...
This is where you impact on the final output. TGA might be
too large, try AVI or
MOV, tho again, the FLV converter is the one responsible for
the quality and size
of the final file.

It's too big :) Flash will die upon import of such file.

Try Mov or Avi
Btw. 50Mb it's not so big. If properly compressed, could be
very good quality and reasonable
size.

Flash video encoder changes video size!

I have a 1920 X 1080 MOV video that I encoded. The Flash video that is resulting is a 1440 X 1080 FLV. Any idea why it is squeezing the video like this?
Thanks

Hey I got it mixed up..... This is Flash Media Encoder 2.
What I have is Flash Video Encoder CS3.
What additional features can I get with Flash Media Encoder
2? Can it still work together with my current CS3 suite?

CS3 Flash Video Encoder no sound

I have been using the Macromedia Flash FLV encoder for a very
long time, but now that I have upgraded to the CS3 Flash Video
Encoder the video gets encoded but the audio is always missing.
All my settings are the same as they always were and when I
encode an AVI to FLV the audio is missing. How do I fix
this?

I to am having the same problem with the flash encoder. Added
a wmv file and a mov file to the queue and I get the same results.
I do however see the first frame of the movies. Cannot set in and
out points because the first frame displays while scrubbing.

Flash video encoder and OS X

I have Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder on my Mac OS X and am trying to convert movies to .flv files. They encode OK, but on playback, the movies are consistently cut off in the middle. Seems other folks are having this problem and are getting no answers from Adobe. Some have said that Flash Video Encoder won't work correctly with Mac 0S X at all and that you have to encode videos using it on Windows. That seems ridiculous to me. Does anyone know anything about this or possible workarounds? Apparently, the issue also occurs with Flash 8's Video Encoder. I need to make flash videos!

Flash Video Encoding

I'm doing research to find all means of encoding Flash Video.
Currently I have:
1. Sorenson Squeeze
2. FlixPro
3. FlixExporter
4. Macromedia Flash Video Encoder (Flash 8)
5. Adobe Flash Video Encoder (Flash CS3)
Ideally I am looking for any app that can encode alpha
channels, manage cuepoints, and do batch processing, although if
there is a flash video encoder you use not on the list, please add
it.
So far Sorenson is best for Project management and
FlixPro/Exporter is best for quality/file size.
The two need to get married and have a kid.
Thanks

I don't know how good it is, but Riva flv encoder will
convert AVI,
MPEG, Quicktime, & WMV's to flv. It's free - here's the
website:

or you can read the reviews and download it at download.com

Flash Video Encoder wont start up

I had this problem with my FVE 8 too. I have uninstalled
Flash video encoder 8 and deleted all prefs. Now, I am simply not
able to open CS3 Flash video encoder. Never been able to open it.
Tried everything to no avail. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm
on a Mac, have checked the crash reports but am unable to see
clearly what is causing the crash. Any help there would also be
great. Thanks.

Trying updating all video codecs including quicklime player.
You should not have had to remove old flv encoder because they are
located in different places. CS3 is located in adobe folder where
as older versions are in macromedia folder.

Flash Video Encoder Quit Unexpectedly

I have an Intel iMac and when I first loaded my Adobe Suite
everything worked fine, but then the Flash Video Encoder stopped
working with "Flash Video Encoder Stopped Unexpectedly" and I
cannot get it to work again. I deleted the files and reloaded the
program from the original DVD and that did not work.
When I was setting up a new user on my iMac, I tried running
the Flash Video Encoder in the other user and it ran fine, but when
I returned to the main user, it would not start and gave the same
error. I'm relatively new to Macs - a bit more than a year - so I
suspect it is some setting or preference or something that I have
wrong.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
-Brian-

I am getting the exact same error on my windows vista x64.
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling quite a number of
times with no luck. I don't believe it is anything done wrong but
has to be some kind of bug in the installation somewhere.
Also any help would be appreciated.

Accessing Flash Video Encoder Programmatically

At the moment I am working on a batch program that will take
video files, and /encode them into FLVs. I would like to do this in
a programmatic (command line way), so that I can can embed this
into a nightly batch process.
Can the Flash Video Encoder support this need?

As far as I know about FFMPEG, it does not encode using on2
vp6, which is the superior codec for flv. I too am looking for a
programmatic way of transcoding to flash using the on2 vp6 codec.
on2 has the Flix Engine SDK, which is quite expensive, but it
allows you to programmatically transcode using vp6.
If there is another product out there that can do this (at a
non-expensive cost) I would love to hear about it.

Flash Video Encoder for WMV - DW8 vs CS5

Hi,
I'm trying to convert a WMV file into Flash. I know that this can be done using DW8's Flash Video Encoder ....but it seems this function is no longer availabe in CS5.
I would be grateful if someone confirm that this understanding is true.
Many thanks
KT

I think this is true. I'm using MacVide VideoFlash converter now. It has trial

Flash Video Encoder Version Update

I have version 1.0 of the Flash Video Encoder. This came
bundled with Adobe Web Bundle (Macromedia Studio 8 - including
Flash Professional 8 and Adobe Creative Suite 2). I need version
1.2 or above in order to include metadata so my .flv files will
play in Captivate and on web pages. How can I get an upgrade of the
Encoder?

You are mistaken about that I think. There is a Flash Video
Exporter for MX 04 that can go up to version 1.2. The Flash Video
Encoder that comes with Flash Pro 8 only goes to 1.0.
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/mx2004/readme/fmxpro2004_video.html
http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/productinfo/encoder/
So, does Captivate say it needs V1.2 of the Exporter or the
Encoder? I don't have Flash MX04 so I don't know the
difference.

Flash video encoder slow

I'm trying to convert a 4.5 minute *.avi to *.flv and am
having some difficulty. Flash Video Encoder says I have about 15.5
hours remaining (am 0.5 hours into the process). That seems wholly
unreasonable given the fact that it took me all of maybe 5 minutes
to save it as an XviD-encoded *.avi with VirtualDub...
Any ideas as to how I can speed this up?

I'm having a similar problem - but my issue has to do with
why the time to encode on my Mac Pro is slower than on my
associate's Power Mac G5.
I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
flv files on a group license. On my station I have the following:
Hardware Overview:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
SMC Version: 1.7f10
I've got 151 GB available on my system drive.
Presently, it is taking me approximately 2 hours 45 minutes
to convert a 6 minute 26 sec mov to a flv with custom settings of:
Max Date Rate: 300 kbps
Frame Rate: Same as Source
Audio Data Rate: 48 kbps (mono)
500 x 333 pixels.
HOWEVER, on an associate's computer he is able to convert
under the same specs, same files, etc. in 1 hour 40 minutes.
His computer specs are:
Power Mac G5
Processor Speed - 2.3 GHz
2-CPU's
L2 Cache - 1 mb per CPU
Memory - 16 GB
Bus Speed 1.15 GHz
My computer has much more powerful processor, so we're
confused why it's taking longer on my computer.
I also have a second internal drive but presently the
programs and source file are on my system HD. Someone suggested
that I should try to make sure that the Video Encoder has max RAM
allocated to it as well as having the scratch disk and cache set to
the second internal drive. I don't know how to do this or even if
it's possible but looking for advice and suggestions on how to
better optimize the Video Encoder and would appreciate any help
with this ASAP.
Thanks!

MPG to FLV prob using Flash video encoder

I've been using the flash video encoder to convert videos to
FLV to put on websites.
Today I converted a MPG file to FLV.
The original MPG video worked fine, the FLV file played sound
but no picture....any ideas ?

Hi,
I have this problem too - I have converted wma files and mpg4 to flv. The encoder does not error but when I play the FLV there is audio but no picture. I am using Windows XP. Is there a solution to this issue?

Qmaster and Flash Video Encoder 8

Can I use Qmaster to set up a render farm to encode Quicktime movies to FLVs using Flash Video Encoder? If so, does anyone know where i can find the command lines samples to se up the Macs?

http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AppleQmaster3_UserManual.pdf
Pages 18 and 29 should be helpful.
However, it might just be easier to encode to H.264.
