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!!!!!

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

Unable to publish projects with inserted video - error message The Flash video can not be loaded

I've created a project in Captivate 6 with two slides that have inserted videos in them
Both the videos were created in Captivate 6 by publishing those projects as mp4 videos
They play fine in the previews but when publishing I get the error saying the Flash video can not be loaded for both of those slides and in the output files the area for the video is blank.
I have checked that the videos are not open anywhere else as I saw on a previous post this was the issue but the only place they are in use is in the project I am trying to publish.
Below are my settings and the error message
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Your screenshot indicates you are publishing to a folder on a network drive.
Have you:
Verified whether or not the video file exists at the published folder location? (It should ideally be sitting in the same folder as the SWF that calls it.)
Verified that the folder location is set up as a trusted location in your Flash Global Security settings?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Flash video can not be loaded

Using Captivate 6, when I make any changes to an already published project that contains flash video, upon republishing I get a pop up stating "The flash video can not be loaded. The output may not be proper." It only happens when I make a change to a previously published project. Every time I encounter this problem, my only fix is to delete each flv and re-insert the video, and republish. Any ideas?

Hi there
You say it's intermittent. The bane of any troubleshooting.
Have you asked your server peeps to get involved?
Cheers... Rick

Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

Try this:
Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse. ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse. Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse. It should work normally now.

Captivate 6 Video Issue: "The flash video can not be loaded. The input may not be proper"

I've already published this particular project with multiple videos embedded with no problems in Captivate 6. I had to change one video and went to re-publish the project. Upon completing the publish, I receive an error message on EACH slide that has embedded video:
"The Flash Video Can Not Be Loaded. The Input May Not Be Proper"
There wasn't any issues with the project until changing the one video that needed to swapped out. I also tried publishing this in Captivate 8 to the same results.
Specs:
Windows 7 Pro
Captivate Version 6.1.1.240
Intel Core i5 25-20 CPU @ 2.5 Ghz
4 GB RAM
32-Bit Operating System
If anyone knows why this issue has presented itself and how we can get around it, much would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon

Hi there,
Thanks for reaching Adobe Community. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
I am a little confused here. Are you getting this error while inserting a FLV video through Insert option or inserting a video through Video > Insert Slide Video or inserting a new slide?
Re-linking means reinserting the video file. If you have already tried reinserting the video file, then have you tried inserting a different video?
Also what operating system you have on your system?
Thanks!

Audio/Video Slow Down

I've been using Windows 7 since August and installed an X-Fi Titanium about two months ago with no incidents. ?For unrelated reasons, I had to reformat about a week ago. ?This leads to my current problem:
Whenever I playback a video source, be it streaming, on my hdd, or dvd, my audio and video slow way down, about 0% of the normal speed. ?The video slow down only affects these sources, games and windows explorer work normally at full speed, but the audio is still at the same slow speed. ?Only a full system restart seems to fix it. ?
Strangely, this problem doesn't seem to affect .divx files (note .divx, avi's encoded with divx still causes the slowdowns).
I've installed the newest video and audio drivers; updated my codecs; tried multiple browsers and media players; rolled back to older drivers; tried the various modded drivers on the forum; tried streaming media on a VM, slowdown still happens; restarting device via device management; used windows 7 auto update drivers; scanned for spyware/virus; another reformat; removed stick of ram (brought down to 2gb from 4); ran chkdsk; and in total, spent about 0 hours googling possible fixes.
My system specs are as follows:
Windows 7 Pro x64
AMD Phenom 9600 2.3 GHz
Sapphire 4870 gb
4gb DDR2 Ram
Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe Mobo
2x 32gb patriot ssd (System Dri've)
320gb WD Hdd?
Logitech 5. speakers Connected via analogue
PS3 connected to Optical In
If anyone could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated. ?I'm just about at my wit's end here and I currently don't have the funds to buy anything different for my system. ?Thanks for taking the time to read this.

you want a video to play at something other than its native framerate?
if yes, you can't easily do that with an flvplayback component. you'll need to separate the audio and visual parts of your video and had them to a movieclip timeline. then you'll need to customize the playback speed of that movieclip.
you can use the following to play any movieclip (forward or backward) at any speed:
function playF(mc:MovieClip, m:int, n:int, fps:int):void {
 var playFFF2:Function = function(mc:MovieClip):void {
 trace(getTimer(),mc.currentFrame);
 if (mc.m<mc.n) {
 mc.nextFrame();
 } else {
 mc.prevFrame();
 if (mc.currentFrame == mc.n) {
 clearInterval(mc.int);
 //updateAfterEvent();
 mc.m = m;
 mc.n = n;
 mc.fps = fps;
 mc.gotoAndStop(mc.m);
 clearInterval(mc.int);
 mc.int = setInterval(playFFF2, 1000/mc.fps, mc);
// and to stop it:
function stopF(mc:MovieClip):void {
 clearInterval(mc.int);

Computer lags when playing games.

Hi folks.
I have a problem with my computer, several in fact.
1. Computer lags when playing games(Battlefield/Desert Combat) even on lowest video settings, especially when there is a lot of action.
2. When I open "My Computer" it searches for 3-5 minutes before files appear, but when opening "my documents" for example, it opens it without any delay.
3. Startup is fast but when logging on, computer hangs for a couple of minutes, before completing log on.
Is there anyone who can help me out???
plz help

Hi NovJoe, thanks for the reply. Nice rig by the way.
Ive disabled all programs except essential windows programs in Task Manager, it didnt help.
Ive changed to new drivers, uninstalled them, changed to older drivers, tried 7 different drivers.
VGA card is running cold, CPU is on 40 cel. under full load, RAM is cool as well. PSU isnt running hot either.
Even checked the chipset, and thats cool also. I switched cabinets and that helped a bit(different PSU).
Now I only have problems with the lagging when playing.
So now Ive ordered a new PSU and mobo (MSI 865PE NEO2-V) I have a feeling its the VGA slot thats not giving me enough power to the VGA card.
And the new PSU is just so cool I had to have it. When Ive complete the build Ill post pics on the forum.
Anyways, Ill let you guys know if this will solve my problem.

Quicktime X - Loading bar when playing WMV

What's the idea of the black loading bar when playing WMV? it takes forever! I've tried the latest flip4mac beta but instead of the usually preload bar with quicktime x the video starts playing straight away but there's a black loading bar that continues to load as the movie plays. It literally takes ages, even with small files. You can't fast forward to other parts of the movie until it's loaded.

I'm having the same problems using Quicktime X - yeah using Quicktime 7 works but come on...
I try to play a WMV file and you can't skip forward or advance the movie until the entire movie loads. I got rid of Flip4Mac since you don't need it with Quicktime X and had the same problem. I then installed the Flip4Mac Beta for Snow Leopard and same problem. Being unable to advance in WMV file blows.
Is there any update on this bug? Is it a bug? While off topic, has anyone else noticed that you can no longer tell Quicktime X not to show recent files. In other words, there is no Preference to tell it not to cache any previously watched movies. You literally have to clear the Recent menu when done watching a movie that you don't want others to see you've played. And why no more ability to see AV controls? I thought Quicktime X was supposed to be an upgrade.
One last thing... (sorry for the multiple subjects) but what is the point of trimming when you can't trim the middle of a movie? You can trim the beginning and end and not cut out a few frames in the middle. What's the point of having trim without trimming a portion of the middle of a clip and keeping the rest? Makes no sense.
The work around would be to trim the beginning. Save the file as trimmed firsthalf.mov. Load the original and trim the end as endhalf.mov, then use third part software to combine the two all to get rid of the center of a clip or movie. Am I missing here or does Quicktime X look half assed?
Thanks

Why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel?

I posted my problem earlier today, but re-reading it maybe I didn't explain myself well enough.
My main question is: "why would my video clips be running too fast when played on the monitor panel ?". This is occuring after I have selected my media from the Tasks Panel and placed them in correct order in the Timeline/Sceneline. I knew something was wrong when I could see that the clips were not indicating their right length when viewed in the (expanded) timeline. They were compressed into just a few seconds, whereas the clips should have been at least 5 minutes. I ran the clips in the monitor and sure enough they ran too fast, with a lot of jerking movements.
The 3 video clips I am trying to make into a HD PAL video were taken with my Nokia N8 mobile video camera. These are in mp4 format. Can this present a problem ? Note that when I play these individual HD clips on my computer in (Windows Media Player) they run fine.
After I placed the clips in my Project Panel (or before in the Organize Workspace), I have perforned no change or manipulation of the clips. They are in their original state.
Just too confirm that the clips did seem to be compressed, I burnt a DVD, the resultant video ran in a matter of seconds.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, that is what the problem was.
Although the video camera on my Nokia N8, mobile was capturing at 25fps,
for some reason once transfered over to PrE9 (via file transfer), the clip was interpreted as 500fps. Once in Interpret Footage I was able to change the fps to 25.
Thanks for the help.

I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help!, I have a iPhone 3GS but the volume keeps going down till its off when playing songs. Help! I didn't have this problem before. I am listening via the speakers of my stereo. I have done that before but never had a problem like this before.

Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

Adobe flash player continually slows down the loading of pages on firefox. Is there a way to toggle the Flash plud in on and off instead of it always trying to load?

slows down or stops browser. what to be able to turn it off and on
and not have it always on when browsing, only when needed.

Yep, you turn of Flash in a better way. Install FlashBlock, an extension from here-
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashblock/)
This would block Firefox from automatically downloading Flash content. If you wish to view the video, simply click on the Placeholder for that video. Simple!!!

Firefox will not load any flash video, on any website.

Hello, just recently firefox decided to stop loading flash video.
Eg. Youtube, metacafe, etc.
I tired uninstalling flash and reinstalling it, uninstalling firefox and reinstalling it, ive also tried scanning for viruses, and nothing has worked. Sometimes it will load the advertisement for youtube videos but thats it, after that it just stays black and the controls for the player still work as normal, but there is no video or audio.
I've tried to install a different browser to see if that would make a difference and it did, i can view flash videos on chrome but the moment i go back to firefox, videos dont work anymore.
