Flash video in Acrobat X makes scrolling document slow or freeze after playing

I am running an HP Intel Core i7 CPU @2.8 GHz, with 8 GB memory and the 64 bit Windows 7 operating system and using Google Chrome and a Nvidia GeForce GT 220 graphics card that shows:
Total available graphics memory 4095 MB
Dedicated Video Memory: 1024MB
System Video Memory: 0MB
Shared System memory: 3071MB
I made a PDF and inserted a 1 minute flash video into the PDF which has about 3 pages of text.
1. I scroll down to the flash video with no problem...
2. I click on the flash vid and it starts to play, no problem.
3. After it is playing I start to scroll up and down to the other pages and it is fine for a while, but then sometimes the scolling freezes and cannot scroll any more. Also right after the video stops and I try to scroll the scrolling gets stuck. So it hangs for a few seconds but then once the video is stopped I can scroll up and down fine again.
The scrolling limitation appears to be related to the fact the video is playing. But My PC and graphics card are not what I woudl consider 'slow' or out dated.
It seems like quite a bad thing to happen for anyone who reads such a document and plays the video and then decides to start scrolling again to read the text below it.
Leads to a bad user experience...
Does this happen to everyone else out there?
Is there a fix for this?

Rich media (Flash, video, 3D, etc.) is stored in the PDF file in compressed form, and is uncompressed at the point of playback (i.e. when the video activates). This introduces a small delay if you're scrolling past a video, and there's not a lot you can do about it.

Freezes after playing video playlist

My 60G freezes after playing my video playlist. I have to wait until the battery runs down then plug it in to reboot it for it to work again. I took it back to Best Buy where I purchased it, and they installed the latest update. They claimed this would fix the problem. Wrong! Any suggestions?
Thanks!

There is no screen event triggered when the video finishes playing that you can use to jump to the next slide or unhide a button to enable the user to navigate forward at a time of their own choosing.
If you know the duration of the video, you can place a navigation button on the timeline at that point so that it appears just after the video finishes playing. However, you may find that on different PCs with different system specs the video may take slightly more or less time to play.

Dear All, I can't play flash videos from any web site through firefox because it freezes but when i run firefox as administrator then it works fine (But Google Chrome Plays all videos normally.) . I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help

Dear All,
Firefox hangs when i try to play flash videos from any site but when i run firefox as administrator it works fine. (but Google Chrome, Opera & I.E9 Plays videos without running as administrator.) I am using Windows 7 & Firefox 7.0.1. Please help.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My iPhone 4 freezes after playing 24 minutes of video - HELP PLEASE!

Hi there,
I have the problem that when I am playing any type of online video when i reach 24 minutes, the screen freezes but the sound keep running, and I tryed deleting cookies and buffer and all these things, and I also reseted the phone but the problem still, I wonder if someone could help me please!,
Thank you very much
Kenzo.

Hey there iK3nzo,
It sounds like your phone becomes unresponsive when watching video on it for around 24 minutes or so even after reseting safari data, and resetting the phone. I would next quit the running apps on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Let me know how that goes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Loop flash video in Acrobat Pro 9

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to make an inserted FLV video loop in Acrobat Pro 9? Neither the import dialog nor the playback controls have this option.

Sorry I meant in flash In other words editing for the FLV is controled with Flash or whatever application that created it. Acrobat just has a player built in.

New 3gs iphone won't make it past syncing contacts, freezes after contacts

My wife has a Macbook and just got a 3Gs phone, however problem was same with 1st gen iphone. When she syncs, it only makes it to contacts, then sync freezes on Calenders. No calenders or anything else makes it. I Un-installed Microsoft Office. tried trashing some prefs. Mobile App Device Helper also keeps coming up saying it can't launch and lists error messages. I have given up. SHould I try doing an archive and install of Leopard?
Really look forward to any help there is on it.

My embedded Flash video disappears when I relaunch MS Word

I embedded a Flash video with a youtube URL into MS Word 2010 using the "more controls" button on the "developer" tab. It worked perfect, exactly how I wanted it to, UNTIL . . . I saved and closed the document. When I reopened the document, the embedded video was still there, but only as an invisible object. I couldn't see it, let alone play it.
I have replicated this in various editions of MS Word, on several computers, each time varying things like the location of the video (my hard disk instead of a URL), etc. I also tried saving the document as "macro-enabled." In every single case, the video works great when initially embedded, but once the file has been closed and then reopened, the video is still there but no longer visible, and therefore useless.
Any ideas how I can make my embedded Flash video remain visible in my Word document, even after closing and reopening the document?
Thank you!

I suspect the best place for the question is over on the Microsoft Word forums, as you'll most like find a wider audience there that uses Word as HTML generation tool.

Cannot transcode to Flash Video from Encore 3

I have recently purchased the Adobe Production Premium package and successfully prepared several Blu-ray and standard definition DVD's. However, whenever I attempt to output any of these DVD's to Flash Video by selecting Build>Output to Flash from within Encore 3, my menus transcode, but when Encore gets to my timeline video, the progress bar goes to about 20% almost instantly and remains there forever. I have tried several different types of video files including short Quicktime movies created in Final Cut Pro as well as other formats in the Encore 3 timeline. The result is always as given above. When this happens, I finally have to Force Quit Encore 3 because selecting cancel on the transcode give me an endlessly spinning beach ball.
I am running Encore 3 on a 8-core Mac Pro (Early 2008 model) with 12 GB of RAM and under Leopard 10.5.4 (latest version with all updates installed). I have successfully transcoded these timelines that seem to freeze Encore 3 using MPEG SlipStream so I know the files are OK.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any solution to the problem? Does output to Flash simply not work under Leopard?
Thank you in advance for responding.
Tom

For the benefit of those subscribing to this thread here is the latest exchange in the several-week long series of exchanges that I have had with Adobe Technical Support over the failure of Encore CS3 to output to Flash on the Mac platform. I think you will find it interesting that Adobe Tech support cannot even agree among themselves that this is a problem.

Hello Thomas,
Thank you for contacting Adobe® Web Support for assistance with Adobe
Encore® CS3.
I understand that when you try to export Flash® video from Encore CS3
that the trans-coding process freezes at 20%, and that you would like to
know if this issue will be resolved in the Encore® CS4 release.
First of all, yes you are correct, I inadvertently wrote CS3 beta when
I meant to say CS4 beta. Also, I was doing this test on the Mac. The
Export to Flash feature is included in Encore CS4. Here is a link to
the CS4 help file that describes the feature (copy and past into the
address bar of your web browser):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/EncoreDVD/4.0/WS99E1F60A-A9DE-4267-ACA7-0EBB
18B75113a.html
I was not able to locate any documentation regarding a bug when
exporting to Flash from Encore CS3, and when I tested this function on
my Mac using Encore CS3 it worked fine. Perhaps a subsequent QuickTime
update, or the Mac OS 10.5.5 update corrected the issue.
Unfortunately I am unable to give you a definitive answer regarding the
functionality of Encore CS4. We are limited as to what information we
can give out during the pre-release period. The best way for you to
evaluate the software is to download the free trial when it is released.
That way you will know for sure if it has the necessary capabilities
before you make a purchase.
I hope this information helps to resolve your issue. If you require
further assistance with this issue, please update your web case with
complete details, including what steps you have applied and any error
messages you are receiving.
You may also call Technical Support at (800) 642-3623. We are available
from 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Monday - Friday, Pacific Time.
Kind regards,
Adam

Adam,
Thank you for your October 2 response. In that response you stated: "I was not able to locate any documentation regarding a bug when exporting to Flash from Encore CS3, and when I tested this function on my Mac using Encore CS3 it worked fine. Perhaps a subsequent QuickTime update, or the Mac OS 10.5.5 update corrected the issue."
I am using Mac OS 10.5.5 and I am using the latest version of Quicktime (7.5.5). What version of Quicktime are you using on your Mac that properly works with Encore's output to Flash?
Please note that I was expressly told by Adobe Tech Support (and I have it in writing) that Encore's Output to Flash was broken in a Quicktime update. I believe that the last version of Quicktime that Encore output to Flash will work with is 7.3.x.
I will definitely test Encore CS4's output to Flash before purchasing.
Please do let me know the version of Quicktime that you have on your Mac that is working correctly in Encore CS3 relative to output
to Flash video.
Thank you.
Tom"

Hide controls flash video (flv)

Is there a way to hide the controls on a flash video (flv) until the user scrolls over the video? So the page opens, the video starts playing (still no controls visable) and then when a user scrolls over the video, you then see the controls for the first time. I have searched high and low.
Thanks
Paul

Thanks for your assistance Jim....
I can't view the code in the library or action script. I am using a default skins (Corona Skin 3) that you apply through dreamweaver "Insert Media > Flash Video". I open up the skin in Flash, but it is a swf and I can't seem to find any code to alter.
Here is a link to what the video where the client wants the hidden controls :
http://www.harithproductions.com/index09.html
I did find a more transparent skin, so If I can't figure it out, maybe he can live with it.
I am not experienced in editing the skins, so I apologize for being a little naive.

Flash Video causes PC to randomly freeze

Hi there,
I really hope someone can help me with this problem.
I have recently built a new PC and found that watching flash video on websites can cause the PC to totally freeze, which requires a hard re-boot.
This does not happen immeadiatley I am watching a flash video, however if a web page has a number of multiple flash video streams, the PC will tend to freeze within 30 minutes.
This has occured on a number of websites in Firefox, IE and Safari. Here's what I've tried so far:
-Used different browsers (IE8, Safari, Firefox)
-Disabled hardware acceleration
-Changed IDE cables to windows hard drive
-If download a stream, changed the target drive
-Increased virtual memory to: 2,046MB (Initial) 4,092MB (Max)
-Run regcure to chack for registry issues
-The system is stable at all other times, including playing high end video games that are stressing the CPU and Graphics Card.
System spec:
Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H Motherboard, AMD Phenom II X6 1055T CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 1280MB Graphics Card, MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3, Hanns.G HG281 22" Monitor at 1920x1200 via HDMI
I would really appreciate of anyone has got any ideas on this one.
Best regards,
Steve

Hi, A couple of years ago I had ZA with a Router (not wireless) and it didn't work well with my XP and had to finally switch from ZA to another AV. What you might try also is to try just using the Modem without the Router and see if that is helpful. It may be that the ZA is too much for the Wireless Router.
Testing as you say would be a good idea and also running a scan for any Virus.
With all of the browsers having those problems, something aside from addons may be happening.
Posting this article about the H.A. and Drivers, etc.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/systemreqs/index.html
I don't think this has anything to do with the freezing, but some sites require 3rd party to be allowed.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
If it's not a Virus or Router/ZA then perhaps the drivers.
Thanks,

Mozilla AddOn Flash Video Downloader

Mozilla AddOn Flash Video Downloader version 7.1.0 up to version 7.2.3 with Windows 7 :
I have requested for support from Flash Video Downloader support-team for installed addon Flash Video Downloader,
but this problem issue could not be solved.
While I have opened several firefox windows, with the new versions of Flash Video Downloader, the firefox windows are
reopened in accidental order after restarting firefox, but not in original order as before. If I had deinstalled Flash Video
Downloader addon, all windows of firefox were opened again in original order. And if I had reinstalled mozilla addon
Flash Video Downloader again, then after restarting firefox, all windows were opened again in accidental order, but not
in original order.
Because of opening tabs automatically from Flash Video Downloader website after deinstalling this addon, I want to ask
mozilla support, if I could trust this addon, and why this addon influences mozilla firefox while opening several firefox
windows in accidental order, but not in original order.
After deinstalling Flash Video Downloader addon in all opened firefox windows, a new tab from Flash Video Downloader
website was opened for feedback response. One feedback tab in one window should be enough as before.

If it was installed from the addons.mozilla.org it can be trusted, however if there are issues I would report it.

Why can't Flash Video be as simple as QT?

After weeks of unsuccessfully trying to convert my
QuickTime/Windows Media-based video gallery to a working Flash
gallery, I finally gave up and returned to the
old-school-yet-tried-and-true QT/WMV.
But I'm still curious - QT & WMV are able to use a single
file (.mov or .wmv) while Flash requires the file AND a player
(Somehow my track record of getting the swf to play the flv was
sketchy). One of the perks of Flash, as I understood it, was that
the majority of browsers are able to play Flash movies. But it's
not quite as simple. Being required to upload the swf in order to
play the flv seems to be like imbedding a QT plug-in to play the
.mov. Why can't Flash Video be as simple as simply downloading the
flv just as playing a Quicktime Movie is as simple as downloading
the mov (as long as the user has the correct plug-in)?

Flash Player freezes after a few seconds of playing

Adobe Flash Player freezes after playing for a few seconds.
It does this in both Mozilla Firefox and in Google Chrome.
It does this regardless of how much of the file has been buffered
(it's not just pausing and waiting for buffer)
I have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player installed.
I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox installed.
I have the latest version of Google Chrome installed.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Flash Player.
I've tried disabling hardware accelleration.
I've tried increasing the buffer size.
I've tried setting the buffer to 0
I've tried clearing the appdata cache

fourstrings411,
Could you give our 11.4 beta release a try to see if that resolves the playback problem? If it does not, please see this FAQ for other possible solutions. In particular, look towards the bottom for instructions on rolling back versions or disabling protected mode.
How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?
Thanks,
Chris

Flash Video Arrives in Adobe Acrobat 9

Adobe has released Acrobat 9. The newly released version now allows Flash Video contents, which makes it more powerful for business presentation.
Actually, the concept of using multimedia files in PDF documents is nothing new. In the previous versions of Acrobat, you are able to embed QuickTime video and other formats into a PDF file. But you need an external media player installed on your computer for playing the video. Now in Adobe Acrobat 9, video can be played within a PDF document with no need to have any media player installed. Thus makes it more convenience to share.
This is a challenging feature which will affect its surroundings. As we know, the similar program for business presentation, PowerPoint, now only supports video and SWF import. If you want to import an FLV file, you must convert the file to WMV, AVI, or MPEG, etc. which can be perfectly done with our product, Moyea FLV to Video Converter Pro 2.
The following passages are some notable features related to video import:
The powerful business version Adobe Acrobat Pro Extended provides more favorable features.
Deliver a compelling branded experience using PDF Portfolios
Create interactive, on-demand presentations with Adobe Presenter
Easily share video in PDF files
Share 3D designs and PDF maps
With Acrobat 9 Pro, you can insert FLV or H.264 video for direct playback in Adobe Acrobat® and Adobe Reader. New Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro even enhances Creative Suite 3.3 which is the indispensable toolkit for professional design and print production.
The Extended version provides even more powerful functions:
Easily adding audio, video, and quizzes to your PowerPoint slides and create rich, interactive presentations with Adobe Presenter (included)
Convert a variety of video formats to FLV for playback in PDF
Embed video in Microsoft Word or PowerPoint and convert to FLV in PDF
Convert 3D content to PDF for cross-platform sharing and collaboration
Combine multiple CAD formats in one assembly and save as PDF with Adobe 3D Reviewer (included)
Convert 2D and 3D designs from major CAD applications to PDF for use by extended teams without expensive CAD or viewer software
Create PDF maps by importing geospatial files that retain metadata and coordinates
In a word, Adobe 9 will totally change the communication and association of electronic files.

Would like to make an ebook with flash videos

Hello,
I've written a 110 page book that has 50 one minute flash videos to go with it. I would like to make an e-book with the flash content and sell it over the internet. I would like to put DRM security on it. Could someone suggest what adobe product I should buy to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Kidd

Hi,
Thanks for the info about DRM. I can't afford it but someone else pointed out Acrobat 9 as the way to go to embed videos.
.Is this the right forum for questions about Acrobat 9? If not, please point in the right direction and I apologize in advance...
As I previously said, I want to embed 50 one minute flash videos into a 100 page ebook and send them out over the internet...
Right now each flash minute is 7MB. Does that mean the embedded videos will total 50 x 7MB? I imagine not but as you can see, I don't have much of an idea about all this but I would sure like to know before I buy Acrobat 9.
Thanks again in advance,
Kidd in Paris
