Flash video, Macs and Acrobat 9

So I can now "insert" Flash video into my PDFs that I create in Acro 9 Pro. I just can't "convert" other video file types to Flash in Acrobat unless I'm using Extended on a PC, right? But once I have the video as an FLV, I'm good?
Thanks!

David,
I am afraid computer Software industry-wide you will find that. And the funny thing about it, is that many applications, Including Acrobat, got their start on the Mac Platform. Because unlike the windows crowd, that unwilling to use a new product with a new ideas, The Mac crowd, was willing to experiment.
Acrobat originated on the Mac platform. Excel if you dig really deep in history got it start as the spreadsheet/database part of Appleworks for the Apple II. There are many others. Then once the PC crowd saw oh look at this thing that the Mac people are using, let's have it too. THen because the user base is larger, Mac R&D to keep up lagged because the money numbers isn't there.
So if your a new, Mac user be prepared to be frustrated, because of disparities. Until the Mac user base gains a a 50/50 shar will things change.

  • I'm having problems with Flash Videos (Youtube and ESPN)

    I have been having this problem for the last couple of days now and it is really annoying. Whenever I watch a flash video like on youtube or espn my computer freezes up and the audio will make a loud buzzing sound. I have attached a video with the post so you can see what happens. I don't have problems with anything else except this. I also get this error no matter what browser I use. I have system restored my PC as far as I can go, and I've ran a ton of scans and driver update checks and nothing seems to work.

    merci a tous pour les nombreuses réponse. j'ai dû mal a les lire vue que je ne lit que le français. je vous remercié encore une fois amicalement. Blanchette 2.

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • Mac and Acrobat 9 prof. e-mail

    Please excuse my bad english!
    I use snow leopard and Acrobat 9 prof. my e-mail rogram ist thunderbird-latest version . Whenever I try to send a pdf-document by mail or i want to create my own it appears the following: SendMail kann nicht mit Ihrem Standard-E-Mail-Client kommunizieren. Wählen Sie eine andere E-Mail-Anwendung aus.
    Is there someone being able to explain by little steps what i have to do?
    Many thanks

    A work around is to have the users create the PDF with AA6 compatibility (see the job settings). As an alternative, open the PDF in Acrobat and use either Reduce File Size or PDF Optimize to save the file to an AA6 version.
    They might also zip the files before sending them.

  • Can I export as a Flash Video? And can I crop the right hand image?

    2 Questions.
    I'd like to create a flash video. Is that possible to do in Final Cut Pro?
    Also, I have a video image where on the right side of the screen there is a white vertical line. Is it possible to edit this out of the image in Final Cut Pro?
    Thanks.

    If you have Flash Pro installed, the FLV export component should have been installed. This will allow you export flash flles from FCP.
    Still, the user has flash 9 installed, you can use h.264 files. Simply change the esported file's suffix from mov to flv.

  • WxWidgets, Mac and Acrobat 9 SDK

    We are having a lot of problems in the Mac using wxWidgets whch have now started using as a cross platform replacement to ADM.
    On MacOS 10.4 (Tiger):
    Having the sample 'wxPlugin' from the Acrobat 9 SDK samples-folder installed in either Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat 9 Reader leads to malfunction in some circumstances.
    The two issues we experienced are:
    1. You cannot open a PDF from the Finder - it just happens nothing (if Acrobat hasn't been running before, it will start though).
    2. You cannot shut down MacOS (or restart it) while Acrobat is running (it doesn't matter if there is any document open) - you have to quit Acrobat manually or "Force Quit".
    This is due to the wxInitialize call during the plug-in initialization (a reduced plug-in which does nothing works, but adding the single call to wxInitialize() (nothing more) would lead to the issues described above). The following information should help to reproduce the problem:
    1. The 'wxPlugin' sample hasn't been touched apart from adjusting the path to the wxWidgets headers and libraries.
    2. For wxWidgets, version 2.8.7 and 2.8.8 has been used, both without success.
    3. Both wxWidgets libraries have been build with the following configuration: ../configure --disable-unicode --disable-shared --disable-monolithic --enable-universal_binary
    There are several other issues with the wxWidgets sample that may or may not be related to the above problems:
    1. The wxWidgets message loop is never called (would be part wxEntry function normally):
    2. This has more effects (but only for modeless dialogs, since modal dialogs have their own event queue while active):
    a) Messages about entering the window aren't processed -> that would result in e.g. the mouse pointer being not changed, not showing up tooltips etc.
    b) Idle events are never called
    c) Windows are never deleted - so basically all (including the window controls) remain as memory leaks
    The last two (b & c) can be solved by registering an AVIdleProc and calling there wxTheApp->ProcessIdle() ,but some messages still aren't properly processed - so modeless dialogs won't work properly.
    This can be easily verified by the Acrobat 9 SDK wxPlugin sample - the mouse cursor doesn't change if you have a document open and you see e.g. the Hand, and you move over the Modeless dialog of the sample. The same is true for tooltips (but they aren't applied in the sample code) - only in certain circumstances, when the window has been active - they will work.
    In order to get those events working, a call to wxTheApp->MacDoOneEvent() in the idle procedure would help, but that would make other parts of Acrobat irresponsible, so that is no solution - but might be a hint.

    I have a plug-in for Reader 10 written using wxWidgets 3.0 under Mac OS X 10.7 and I have all problems
    described in OP post. Issue with sockets is added. (when releasing socket object it has deleted twice sometimes)
    In this thread Adobe says that a new wxWidges sample will be coming shortly.
    The wxPlugin from SDK 11 samples looks like this:
    ACCB1 ASBool ACCB2 PluginInit(void)
    #ifndef MAC_PLATFORM
    /* The following code is not supported on Mac. */
              wxInitialize();
              mainFrame = new AcrobatFrame;
              wxTheApp->SetTopWindow(mainFrame);
              return MyPluginSetmenu();
    #else
    return true;
    #endif
    Is that true that wxWidgets officialy not supported in Acrobat SDK?
    Is there some approved and tested technique for proper using of wxWidgets with Acrobat SDK for Mac?

  • A Flash Video Server and Flash Security

    We are using Flix and Squeeze to create new Flash 8 SWF
    movies from our AVI files. Short 1 - 2 minute tutorials.
    We would like to be able to save them on our server and allow
    different websites to add a custom Flash Player to their site and
    watch these videos from their pages. The player gets an XML
    playlist of up to 50 videos and we would like to be able to play
    one or more of the movies on the webpage of our partner.
    However, this seems to cause (2) security violations in the
    Flash 8 environment. We need to add a crossdomain.xml file on our
    server to allow other sites to access our swf files, and
    apparantly, we also need to use actionscript
    System.security.allowDomain() to allow the parent SWF player to
    control the video in the player (stop, start, pause, etc.).
    Does anyone know more about this situation? How can we add
    the allowDomain() to an SWF created by Flix or Squeeze, or is there
    another way to communicate the allowDomain(). Can we pass anything
    in the XML itself, does it have to be in the SWF.
    In Flash 8, every SWF must communicate the allowDomain(). In
    earlier versions of Flash, only one SWF needed to open the sandbox
    for any other SWFs from that domain.
    Did we misunderstand the requirement? Our Flash developer
    can't figure out a way to make this happen, but I am sure others
    have been able to make it work. Otherwise, how can any of the Flash
    hosting companies allow these movies to be downloaded off of their
    sites.
    Any advice would be appreciated...

    Hello Thanks for reply,
               Its many to many chat and every one can speak and listen. There may be 10-12 users in a room  at a time and also the number room can be several.
    So what type of server I should take. Some delay is acceptable.

  • USB flash drive MAC and WIN

    Hi All,
    I have a problem with my USB flash drive- The files that I copy from my mac appear as multiple copies on the winXP computer and in Parallels, the ones that I copy from windows appear as locked Linux files!! on the Mac.
    What is going on here ??
    TIA
    Pankaj

    Your flash drive needs to be set to "Ignore ownership". With the disk selected, get its info window then look in that window fopr the ownership setting.
    The reason you see two files on Windows is that the filesystem is seeing Mac resource forks for each file.
    Yeah, Windows sücks. They pretend Mac does not even exist.

  • How to overcome 45inch size restriction on 4 x 300page PDFs ? - are  ex docs - jpgs photographed with iPhone - on Mac and acrobat pro 9

    Hi
    I have 4 x 300+ page PDFs (made from iPhone photo jpgs of old typed documents) that I made into PDFs and then tried OCR but it failed saying the pages exceed the 45 x 45 inch limit.
    Is there anyway I can reduce the 45 inch problem - for each batch/multiple page file  - and not have to resize each jpg image individually ?
    please say yes !
    I have  acrobat pro 9 ...and Photoshop cs6.
    all suggestions welcome

    Overcome the 45 inch limitation? You don't.
    What to do? Ensure the process you use to create PDF outputs a page size that does not bump/exceed 45 inches.
    Be well...

  • Flash video causes my Mac mini to crash displaying blocks of stripes

    As you can see from the picture below, flash video sometimes (often though) causes my Mac mini with Intel Graphics HD 3000 crashes while displaying blocks of stripes and repeating "tick" noise. I believe it just plays audio data in a buffer repeatedly at that moment.
    It looks to me that it failed in decoding the video. Probably it can be due to mal-formated encoding, but after rebooting if I move the play position to the same spot, it plays there correctly. So, probably somehow when there is somewhat wrong encoded data filled in a buffer to decode but there is some non-allowed operation is processed. ( like divide-by-zero. I don't mean that this one is due to divide-by-zero. ) Can be somewhat related to DCT block....
    Flash plugin installed on my Mac : The latest Flash plugins for Mac
    Mac Mini with Intel HD graphics 3000. ( last year's model )
    is this going to be fixed soon? Probably this is a bug which is already being traced?

    I haven't seen this occur before.  We're going to need some additional info from you.  Please see this tech doc for some simple troubleshooting steps (in particular, try the HTML5 vs. Flash video tests and try disabling Flash Player's hardware acceleration).  The doc also explains what information we'll need and how you can report the issue to us.
    Troubleshoot, report Flash Player video playback issues

  • Flash Video working on PC, but not MAC...

    I'm a bit confused here...
    I created a flash movie by using Flash CS3 on my MAC,
    essentially I just resized a .dv file, placed a small graphic in
    the bottom corner of the video, and output it as a flash movie. I
    uploaded it to my server to see how it looks on my website. When I
    opened my web browser on my PC, the flash video plays and looks
    fine. However when I opened by MAC browser, where the video is
    there's a blinking "FLV" film strip icon (reddish)...it's not
    playing the video file. Anyone have any idea why this would be
    happening?

    Works for me on Safari Version 2.0.4 (419.3). Also works on
    IE 7 on parallels. I think you need to update flash player, make
    sure all browsers are closed. Testing on Internet Explorer 5.2.3 is
    useless, nobody uses that anymore. For Mac, Safari, Opera, and
    Firefox are most common. It works fine for me on all browsers, with
    Flash Player 9,0,47,0

  • Flash video not loading in IE and Chrome

    Hi,
    I have published a simple flash video page and uploaded it to my website.
    It works fine in Firefox but in IE and Chrome it seems to load the first 10 seconds i.e the loading bar goes grey for a small section, Then the buffering comes up and the video doesn't load.
    I've upgraded my flash player to the latest one. Cleared my history and opened my browser again.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks

    i see the same problem with all three browsers:  that video won't play unless the an initial portion has already been cached.
    to remedy, play and pause your video.  after a 3 seconds * bitrate of your video has cached, play your video
