Flash video is choppy online for UK viewers

I have a video that I have encoded in flash and posted to an html page. It seems to run fine in Canada (where I am), but my client is in the UK and he says it is choppy and broken up as opposed to YouTube videos on his computer. I have compressed it quite a bit, so I am not sure what the next step is. Do I need some kind of video streaming service? Is that how YouTube works? Or does it just need to be compressed more? Is there a standard that works best? I'd like it to be around the same size as the YouTube ones.
thanks for any help.

Flash Video Jerky / Choppy Fullscreen Chrome

I've been having this problem for a couple of years using Flash video across ALL websites. When I play a full screen flash video, the video gets choppy or jerky. The audio continues perfectly. I'm a pretty tech and computer savvy person, so I have tried a lot of the fixes I could think of. I ended up finding one SOLUTION to the jerky video that works EVERY SINGLE TIME. If I right-click the full-screen video, and allow the settings menu to remain on top of the video while it plays, I NEVER have issues with jerky or choppy video. If I cancel the settings menu, the jerkiness returns immediately and remains throughout the video duration. To help diagnose this, here's my specs and stuff I have tried.
Dell 1764 running Win 7 x64 on a Core i5 processor, 4Gig RAM.
all builds of chrome in the last couple of years, w/ and w/out the included flash (i.e. disabling in about:plugins).
24mbps cable connection, with no buffering issues noted
Cleared cookies, history, temp files, ran anti-virus and spyware.
Have always been up-to-date w/ windows updates.
Fullscreen videos that do work flawlessly:
Netflix using the Silverlight plugin. Youtube HTML5 videos. Any DVD's or downloaded videos play perfectly in VLC and MPC.
So, in summation: Flash vidoes in fullscreen are Jerky/choppy using Chrome browser. When I right-click and allow that menu to remain on top, jerkiness goes away. Cancel the right-click menu, problems return.

No worries. I appreciate the feedback, and just want to make sure I'm understanding the data that I'm collecting clearly.
We're aware that there are random short-lived problems that happen during transitions in and out of full-screen and scrubbing. We have a number of bugs open on the engineering team around it. In general, these are usually complex timing-related problem with a bunch of interrelated, moving parts (codec, network latency, buffering, stream quality, hardware, browser, etc). They're really hard to debug. It continues to be a big area of focus for both the dev and quality engineering teams, and something we're investing a lot of time and energy into improving.
Also, it's worth pointing out that we test a pretty large matrix of graphics cards, and we partner directly with many of the GPU vendors -- but there's a ton of fragmentation and we can't check every single card that's out there in the world. If we see a bunch of bugs coming in about a particular configuration, we do our best to track the card down and take a look.
If you find instances where you're able to reproduce playback problems consistently, please file a bug. Include a direct link to the video/videos that you can consistently reproduce the video problems with, and include the output of dxdiag (or the graphics card info from the System Information tool on Mac). OS and Browser versions are also very useful.
I'm not personally involved in the work around PPAPI for Flash Player, but we have a whole team working on building a great experience for Chrome and Pepper. Disabling PepperFlash where it's enabled will generally cause Chrome to fall back to the stanadard NPAPI-based Flash Player instead. Keep an eye out for announcements about preview releases for Flash Player on PPAPI -- I'm sure the team will appreciate your feedback once they become available.

Flash video is choppy!!

I am in a language program in Cairo and purchased a macbook right before heading out here. We have language DVDs to help us with the Arabic and when I try to run it my flash video runs in a choppy fashion.
The disc works beautifully on other (non-intel) macs and on intel machines .
All of the Macbook at the apple center here in Cairo had the same problem.
I'd like to get help from apple via email, but couldn't figure out how.
Looking forward to reading your ideas,
Kaveh

The version of Flash Player you should have is 9.0.20.0.

Inserting Flash Video.. long wait for skin to appear fools users.. any way to add a "please wait..video is loading"...

Hello. I'm trying my first Flash Video insertion..all is well
except I'd really like to be able to tell anyone viewing the page
to please hang on and wait during the buffer period on the
progressive download. it takes anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds for
the player skin to appear and start playing the video.. I have
previously been using embedded WMP which seems to have an advantage
in this department since the player skin would immediately appear
and display a buffering video % which would let anyone viewing the
page know that the video is downloading and is about to play. With
the flash they have no idea and the page appears not to be working
for a "long" time (5 to 20 seconds) since not even the skin
appears. Is there a way to improve these faults? My video is about
3 minutes long and can be found here.

thanks ahead of time for any advice! -Keith

It took about 8 seconds for me. Not too bad at all.

Why are my Flash Videos now not playing for customers outside my Domain?

Hi folks. Please help me out here. I'm using Adobe Connect v.
6 Presenter to develope technology enabled learning. I've published
several Flash Video files to my TEL server, which hosts Connect
v.6. They were able to viewed by students outside my USGS domain
and since about the middle of March, the videos will not start for
them. What the heck? If anyone can help me, I'd be much obliged as
I am do to start beta testing on a Presenter TEL course on May the
8th! Yikes!!
Also, my server is in an Active Directory structure where
Windows Downloads and patches are automatically loaded at a certain
time in the early morning. Not sure if a security patch is doing
this or not, but I would gratefully appreciate any assistance.
Thank you!!

wolfeyes...
Not sure if this is the case...but, by chance, did you change
the videos to a different version of flash? Say converted to flash
8 versus flash mx. I know that in prior versions of connect, you
had to have MX as Flash 8 video wouldn't play...If they're the very
same video files that suddenly aren't playing...then I have no
answer...
Peace.

Embedded Flash video in Firefox plays for 3 seconds and stops

I looked at the forums for a solution but it didn't solve my problem. I'm running OS 10.5.6, Firefox 3.6.13, and Flash 10.1.102.64. I recently had my MacMini's memory upgraded to 2GB and when I got it back home, the problem arose.
Per this forum, I tried uninstalling Flash, restarting, reinstalling Flash, repairing disk permissions, restarting again, and trying to play the video. Same problem with any site like LiveLeak, FunnyorDie, or Break.com. YouTube and Vimeo don't seem to have the same problem. I tried going into Firefox's "Tools" menu, disabling the Shockwave Flash plugin, reenabling it, and reloading the video. No luck.
Is there anyone who can tell me why these videos suddenly stopped playing after I had my RAM upgraded? Help!
(And thanks)

I had drop out also. I could successfuly resolve my problem with the hints at this page:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108065-en
I disabled the option "interference robustness" everywhere I could found.
And additionally, I reconfigured the express station as a client instead as a remote WDS, because I stream from an iMac to an extreme station an finaly to an express station where my hifi components are connected to. No drop outs anymore for me.
Hoping this will help you, too.
regards and much luck

Flash Video Cue Points don't work

I used the template sample from Adobe named :Flash video
template: Showcase website for personal video...I followed all the
steps sugested. I used Flash Video Encoder, created the cue points,
worte down the location of those cue points, which I wrote exactly
in the Settings.XML file for each chapter....etc. I guarantee you
that I did it all as sugested...In fact several months ago, it
worked for another project and another videos that I had.
But this time, when I am testing it, the video appears in the
screen all right but when I select a chapter for the section of
that video, an error appears like this :
VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/seek()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/seek()
at
Video_fla::MainTimeline/chapterClickHandler()[Video_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:184]

at fl.video::VideoPlayer/seek()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/seek()
at
Video_fla::MainTimeline/chapterClickHandler()[Video_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:184]
My Settings file has the correspondent locations for each cue
point, like this :

I have my file structure right as well in each folder IMG and

What does this error means and how can I correct the
problem.....I have been expending hours trying different ways and
still can't get it to work.
Thanks,
Edna

you don't need a cuepoint to detect the end of your video. use:
var lo:Object = {};
lo.complete = function(eObj:Object):Void {
next_btn._visible=true;
flv_pb.addEventListener("complete", lo); // <- use the instance name of your flvpb component

Not all flash videos on websites work

Hi guys,
First off all, I'm really excited because I made the switch to Apple and Leopard. Yay! But I have one issue I can't figure out.
Not all flash videos on websites work, for example: www.x17online.com
Sometimes it's a blank square and sometimes I see an image but I can't play the video. I have flash installed so what's wrong?
Any help is appreciated!

Got a mbpro 2.4 multi touch, 2gb 250gb safari 3.1.x

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.

It currently is not blocked: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/blocked/]
If it was installed from the addons.mozilla.org it can be trusted, however if there are issues I would report it.

Flash Video Conferencing Software

Is anyone aware of Flash video conferencing software
available for licensing that runs on FMIS. Features similar to
GoToMeeting/Webinar would be nice.

omNovia Web Conference.
It is a hosted solution but they also offer an enterprise
solution you can run on your own fms.

Watching streamed Flash video (like say Hulu) causes iMac to go to sleep

Lately, my iMac goes to sleep (after some time) when watching streamed Flash videos. Is anyone else experiencing this? Oh, and before you say that it is my sleep mode, this issue happens WAY before sleep mode would initialize; usually a few minutes after starting a video.
Message was edited by: Dennis Catt

The symptoms you speak of are the exact same ones happening to me. This use to never happen, it has only been happening recently and I have had this computer over 4 years now. I have also been streaming Flash video on this computer for just as long without much issue. It seems like an issue with Flash Player 10.1, but the problem is, sites like Hulu don't support older versions of Flash anymore.

Choppy flash video, images and pictures

hello i have been noticing choppy images, flash videos, site pictures recently. whenever i watch a video on youtube, dailymothion, mega video i can see little bitmaps and some choppiness in the videos even when i look at pictures on sites still the same. I have unistalled and reinstalled adobe flash player, shockwave player to its latest version but still the same problem and it is starting to really drive me mad. I have also reinstalled my graphic and its updated to the latest version as well. I dont know what the problem is and its starting to get really really fustrating i have been having this problem 2 weeks ago and still cannot find a fix for it. f******* hell...!
This is what the images looks like.
I have already tried everything...that i can think of and still no use...
Note: Using Firefox atm, same problem on internet explorer as well.................

I'm also having the same problem as Gaduk. Youtube, megavideo any videos viewed online appear fine at first and then after 10-15 mins, start showing choppy. The audio was not a problem before, but I have noticed that it is being affected as well. I saw some posts on another forum a few days ago that recommended disabling flash player 11 in my chrome browser plugins and enabling verion 10 (which was available, but has since upgraded) and version 10 was working fine until it upgraded to 11 again. Now I have no options to revert to version 10 again.
My system info is below:
Sony:
OS - Windows 7
Browser Chrome 16.0.912.77
Browser FireFox 9.0.1
Browser IE 9
Browser Safari 5.1.2
Flash Player 11,1,102,55
McAfee (came with the upgrade of flash player)
This is very frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, rebooting the browser, my pc, deleting cache files and cookies...NOTHING IS WORKING. CPU usage is between 20-35% when a video is active in my browser. I think that is normal, but I know that the choppy playback is not and it's only getting worse. Please HELP!

Best export for flash video

I have completed an edit of a 7 minute teaser for a feature film and need to export it to be displayed online in a flash player. The footage is HD 1080i, 29.97fps and edited in the Animation coded. My experience with best exports for flash conversion is very limited so please bare with with.
1) Is it possible to export directly from FCP to a flash file? If yes, would that be a good idea, or should I use third party softwares for better results?
2) Which third party softwares are recommended for flash conversion? And what export compression should I use in FCP for best flash conversion results?
3) Any other tips and tricks to get the best quality for flash video display?
Any help would obviously be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I have quality HD video that I want to export for flash, I compress it with h.264 codec. Then, with the new version of Flash, you can swap out the .mp4 extension for .f4v and your good to go in Flash. Quality looks pretty good at a fraction of the file size.

Putting Flash Video Online

Have a limited time to get up a site...really having trouble
with Flash Video...I think I know where I am stuck...I seem to have
no trouble encoding and publishing videos, I think where I am going
wrong is when I use the component inspecter to add a 'content
path'...I am stumped because Im not sure where exactly this path is
supposed to go! I have my own server online where I am uploading
all my HTML files...If anybody could explain in really simple terms
where this path is supposed to go, (Ex: where the file will be
uploaded to, the address of the file when it has been uploaded
etc...) I dont seem to be having any luck with this...was also
hoping for some more help if anybody knew how to link to a flash
video, so it would pop up in its own window without going to
another page...I have a list of video descriptions on my html
webpage...and along the list are thumbnail images, i am hoping that
when they are clicked on, the flash video will pop up, and voila!
My mission will be complete...
Thanks to any kind souls who help me, you have much gratitude
coming your way!!!
