Flash Video in DW too slow

I am trying to build a page at
http://lotus.org/docs/video3.htm.
I've got two problems:
1. The page loads very slowly on a high-speed connection and
really clogs the RAM on dialup. It is not usable as is. I created
the page using Insert/Media/Flash VIdeo... The .flv are hosted on
the site's host, crystaltech.com.
This is going to duplicate
http://lotus.org/docs/video.htm,
that works faster (why these are faster, I don't know).
Unfortunately, the files must be removed from the server in which
they sit and so I am trying to create an alternate page with the
files on my own server. Can anyone please guide me to a solution?
2. The second problem pertains to the fourth set of videos,
Ribbon Cutting. These .flv files start with a fadein from black. a
nd so you see a black image before anything plays. Is there some
way I can edit out the black beginning of the .flv? I have tried to
find a program to let me convert the .flv to a format that is
easier to edit (Riva Encoder), but I'm stuck on that,unable to
figure out how to encode to a format other than .flv. Any
suggestions there?
Thanks in advance.

  • Flash player 11 is too slow in Stage3D mode

    I have recently installed the release version of flash player 11, and have been disappointed with its Stage3D perfomance. Suppose player is running in no-gpu-acceleration (software) mode, and my old ATI Radeon X-1600 card is not supported by release version (though card is able to render OpenGL 2.0). I had mentioned compatibility and perfomance issues for incubator build in this topic http://forums.adobe.com/message/3519994#3519994 and seems almost nothing changed since than.
    How to define if hardware acceleration is really enabled? (the checkbox in player settings menu is selected).
    This website, shown at adobe max keynotes, completely freezes my computer http://www.nissan-stagejuk3d.com/
    My computer is Intel Core 2 duo 2.16gHz iMac, with ATI Radeon X-1600 video card, running under  MacOs 10.6.8

    The only issue I could see in the provided Away3d demo is low framerate. But it seems to be normal for a big ammount of polygones + dynamic lighting. Other samples from showcase section like http://www.miniclip.com/games/monster-trucks-360/en/ are working almost great. Screenshot from google chrome (OpenGL driver):

  • Video playback is too slow on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 7520 15R)

    Hello all!
    I tried to resolve this issue by myself and using google but nothing happens and that's why I'm here
    I hope you can help me with this
    So what I have:
    The PR launched successfully but if I add any video from my gopro 2 (720p@60fps) and try to play it without any effects I will got frozen video after 2-3 sec of watching and ~90% of frames are lost.
    What I did:
    Upgrade bios to the latest version
    Install Radeon drivers from Dell web site (because latest driver from AMD doesn't install on my lp)
    Note:
    The GPUSniffer.exe displayed only my HD Graphics 4000 and can't see Radeon HD 7730M - so I think this is the key to solve the problem.
    Also the driver package from Dell web doesn't contain ATI panel where I can find the Switchable Graphics Method
    My configuration:
    15.6" (1920x1080) WLED
    Intel Core i7-3632QM (2.2 ГГц)

  • 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.

  • Full screen Flash video is extremely slow

    I have a 2010 27" iMac with an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. Full screen Flash video (e.g., Hulu) is extremely slow and choppy on it (4-5 frames per second). Full screen Quicktime or HTML5 video is fine. On my previous iMac (2008, 24", NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS), full screen Flash video is smooth as silk. I realize my current video card is low- to mid-range, but should that really matter? I'm not sure if this is a video card issue, or something else. Here's a list of other things I've tried:
    Other web browsers
    Uninstalled and reinstalled the current version Flash
    Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version of Flash
    Installed Shockwave
    Disabled hardware acceleration
    Reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard
    As much as Apple wants to distance itself from Flash, I would be really shocked if a modern iMac was incapable of doing what a 3-year old iMac could do effortlessly. Anyone else have any ideas, or do I just need to upgrade my video card?

    in youtube one can choose various level of resolutions
    like hd or sd and the hd's are in various levels of high resolutions
    if performance is the issue the first place I would look would be the resolution of
    the set stream

  • 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!

  • What to do if my pc is too slow for Flash CS6? may i try (and find) older version?

    Hi all
    I tried the trial version of flash CS6 but my computer is too slow (less than 2 GB of RAM available) and I 'm not able to use it. i need it to make animated cartoons and I do not need to code in order to do it .. What do you recommend me, please? If I use an older version (which one? flash 8? is there a trial version on the site? ) it can work out ? i mean can i consider it valid for my works or is it a point against me for the market?
    i want to be sure before buying the product ...
    (is this the right place to ask? )
    Thanks anyway
    Adelina

    First of all, check if your machine meets the system requirements for Flash CS6. If yo do, then i will recommend to cleanup your machine. Delete the temp files(Run->%temp%) and empty the Recycle bin.
    This should also help.

  • What can be done to correct slow video or freezing in Adobe Premiere Elements 12? Sound plays fine but the video is too slow to even start a project.

    Sound plays fine but the video is too slow to even start a project.

    film78
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Have you updated 12 to 12.1 yet? If not, please do so by using an opened project's Help Menu/Update.
    Not enough information in order to help you.
    Looking for
    1. Properties of source media (including file extension and brand/model/settings of camera that recorded the video).
    2. Is problem restricted to one particular file in one particular project? What happens if you start a new project? What is the
    duration and size of the project when performance is slow and freezing sets in? What are you doing in the program when this happens?
    3. Using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
    4. Does problem exist if antivirus and firewall(s) are disabled?
    5. Please describe computer environment, including dating on video card/graphics card driver version. Did you install the program to the
    default Local Disk C? Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space there?
    Lots more questions, but let us start here and then decide what next based on your reply.
    Thank you.

  • Video loading too slow

    Hi,
    I've added some video to my Captivate7 module. The video loads too slow, so by the time it comes on the timeline has already past all the vital parts.
    The module was generated in SWF, which is what is required by my customer.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Jake

    Reduce the size of the video, or increase the size of your end user's bandwidth.

  • Firefox CONSTANTLY has a yellow bar on top of my screen nagging me to upgrade adobe flash but my processor is way too slow for that upgrade.

    I am on an older computer that works just fine, but the processor is too slow for the flash upgrade, nor do I have the other system requirements. What can I do to get rid of this nagging bar? I do not mind upgrading to a lower version of flash, providing it is light on memory;but don't know how to or where to get it. I have seen some archives of older versions but they require knowledge of how to do zip files, or how to do the download as it isn't automatic. I currently have something called "shockwave flash 9.0.45.0". The names are another confusing thing. They talk about shockwave flash, adobe flash player, adobe flash; are they all the same thing?
    michelle

    cor-el, thanks for your input. The problem I keep having is that I can't get the system requirements for any of the flash versions except 11, the latest. I have looked on a number of sites as well as adobe. There is no point to download something that won't work with my system, and overloads my memory. My processor is a pentium 3, about 927 mhz. The service pack is 2.
    Another problem I keep having is that for the older versions they keep telling me to "unzip" the file. I don't know what that means, or of course, how to do it.
    Really need some help and understandable directions as am new to computers. This one works great, and I resent these companies putting me in the position of having to buy a new computer just so I can get their newest programs, which in reality are often not as good as the old ones. I cannot afford another computer.

  • Flash website I created is loading too slow and don't know how to put in preloader.

    I have 4 swf files.  The index.html page is a flash swf that I renamed to index.html in order for it to the be first page to come out.
    I have googled how to add a preloader but it's all too confusing, and I'm not sure if I should add it to the first swf that I renamed index.html.
    The website that I created for the company is loading way too slow.
    I've deleted unused files.
    I've compressed the images the best way I could.
    I cannot change the images, because it's the whole purpose of the design.
    Any other options of loading this website any faster other than changing the design, and putting it into Dreamweaver?
    And where do I add the preloader after I made it? The first fla file?
    Thanks.

    If by "converted" you mean that you've converted the trailer to a normal project using the menu option File>Convert to Project, then YES it is still possible to edit the Credits Title.
    In the converted project, double-click on the blue Title bar that sits above the background clip. In the Viewer, double-click on the text you wish to change (or highlight text by dragging over it). Now you can replace the highlighted text by typing in the new text. You can also change fonts and font colours.
    It's always good practice to duplicate the Trailer before converting it. To do this, while in Project Library view, click on the Trailer name in the Library then select File>Duplicate Project. A copy will appear in the Library with the same name as the Trailer, but with the number 1 appended. You can rename this copy as desired. Now, convert the duplicate to a standard project and continue with your editing as required. You now have the original Trailer in template form (which can be further edited), and can duplicate it again if required.

    EDIT: Regarding my first sentence - just noticed that you did mention "converting it to a project" in you topic header. Sorry!

  • Flash Video Slows Down Website Load, Lags When Playing

    Hello, I am a designer that has encoded .Mov files to
    .Flv in CS3 Flash Video Encoder. They look and play great
    when previewing on my hard drive, but once uploaded to the website
    host, the pages load much slower and the video sometimes stops
    & lags, like it is waiting for it to load.
    I used Flash CS3 Video Encoder,
    settings: On2 VP6, 246kbps video, 32kbps audio; resized to
    320x240. File sizes range from 5mb-13mb. When I inserted into
    the html page in
    Dreamweaver, I choose the
    Flash Progressive Player. There are a lot of videos on this
    website, approx. 20, but only one per page. The site is hosted by
    godaddy.com.
    Here is the temp site:
    http://www.wondernumber.com/testing I thought this would be
    handled by a programmer, but it got stuck in my lap. The client is
    anxious to get this project done!. Any help offered is greatly
    appreciated!!!!!
    ~Jana

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I actually gave in yesterday
    morning and reduced the quality of the video from 400 to 150, and
    the sound from 96 to 16. Does play through now but doesn't look or
    sound as good.
    Do you think if I put the videos on a dedicated server I
    could raise the quality and they would play smoothly?
    Thank you! ~Jana

  • Both IE and FF flash videos and games slow down/lag???

    Starting a half a year to a year ago, flash videos/video players and flash games on firefox and IE would run
    fine for a little while and then lag/slow down ridiculously. For the videos it would lag and skip for the rest of the video, but for the flash games it goes through a cycle of running fine and then running slow/very slow for a period of time. How can I fix this? It is so annoying and can make playing flash games and watching videos with flash almost impossible some times.
    I unchecked the the box for hardware acceleration already.

    Do you have any suggestions in terms of the slowing down/lagging issue? Also, is there an issue with flash player itself that is causing everyone to have all these problems with it ruining videos and stuff? Is adobe working on it/is there any hope that future version of flash player will get rid of the lag or has adobe gone down a path that is just going to cause problems for some people, permenantly, no matter what?

  • Flash video take too much processor time; a firefox solution.

    I have noticed that flash video take a lot of processor time. With my system (1.6 Ghz celeron M) I am unable to play HD video from youtube normally. Some plugins/websites are able to get the direct link of the video (mainly for the purpose of downloading them). Using mplayer to play these direct links works perfectly in HD. mplayer take about 10% of the processor time taken using the embedded flash player. But getting the direct link is not always easy and sometime you are forced to use this inefficient flash plugin. Why is this proprietary flash plugin that bad?  Why does website forces us to use it?

    II know most of these solutions. What I am most interested to is to play the videos with mplayer; preferably without having to download them first. What I am doing now if to use www.keepyoutube.com and give the url provided to mplayer. I would be interested in a firefox plugin that launch mplayer on the video URL (there was the media player connectivity but it has not been updated and did not work for flash).
