Flash videos not playing correctly

I posted some flash videos to some sites that get a
tremendous amount of website traffic. We are getting feedback that
the flash videos do not play consitently. Some people can see them
just fine, others cannot see the videos at all, for others -
particulary in Firefox, the video asks to download rather than
play. We created the videos using Flash 9 - importing the FLV file
and saving as an swf. We do not really see any type of pattern
across browsers.
Any advice?

Not loading correctly in what way?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Cap 4: Flash Videos not playing correctly

I have flv files on 3 different slides of my project. When I publish the project, the 2nd and 3rd videos will play the audio but the video only displays the first frame from the first video.
I published the flv files from Camtasia 7. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you think it could be a Firefox setting, try:
'''Create a new Firefox profile'''
A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, choose a useful name (like May2014), and skip the option to use a non-default folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
Does Flash work any differently in the new profile?
When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

Flash Video not playing in IE6

I have a flash video embedded in my page that plays fine in
FF and IE7, however when loading the page in IE6 the video is
absent (the "red x" is in its place) and I receive the message
"Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls
on this page. As a result the page may not display correctly."
Now, this happens in IE6 only on the default security
settings. I have other sites that embed flash video and play fine
in IE6 without warning...they weren't created with Dreamweaver CS3
though.
What is triggering this in IE 6 and can I remove some code
from my page to prevent this?
Thanks for any help to what is probably a noobish
question.

This would only be in local preview, right?

FLV videos not playing correctly in Captivate 6

I am running into an issue where my FLV video is not playing correctly when my Captivate project is exported out and saved to the web. The FLV video is about 20 mins long (~100 MB) and it is being streamed from Kaltura. The FLV video is inputted into the Captivate project as a multi-slide synchronized video across 27 slides. The slides themselves are imported from Powerpoint. The problem that we are running into is that the Captivate project and the FLV video play correctly when viewed with decent bandwidth, but they do not appear to play correctly for users with slower bandwidth. However, if a user views the videos independently of Captivate, they can view the videos correctly, even at slower bandwidth. I have tried hosting the Captivate files on several different webservers, including an LMS. But the issue continues and I'm searching for any type of answers that might help.
Thanks for reading and any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Nathan

Nathan,
Your welcome, if that is the case, then can you try and insert the MultiSlide Video, you can insert the streaming video URL.
You can add the server to you computer as network Drive and then browser to that location, once you do that, the options to add the Video as Streaming can be chose and your Vidoe would remain insync with main playbar, users can play and pause content that way.
See if this can be implemented at your end.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Videos not playing correctly

I've had my video iPod for a couple of weeks and generally, I love it. But I noticed that just today (this was NOT an issue before), the videos do not play correctly -- and it's not file-specific. Here's what happens:
The first few rows of pixels lag behind the rest of the video. it's always the same rows. It's especially noticeable while watching Lost with its faster sequences. Has anyone experienced this?

Websites not loading correctly and flash videos not playing

When I visit sites like '''ign.com''' and '''joystiq.com''', they do not display correctly and Flash videos never load. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled twice to version 9.0.1 with no change. The second time I used Revo Uninstaller Pro to help make sure I got rid of all registry entries and residual files. Does anyone know if this is a recent bug? This started for me about noon yesterday...

Flash Video Not Playing

On this page:
http://www.steigerfamily.net/2005/10/09/shark-attach-in-aruba/
The flash video which is playing through a swf file is not
playing. It used to play and all of sudden it stopped working for
no reason. I doubled checked the mime settings and those are all
set correctly.
What could be the issue and how do I resolve it?
thank you
-b

Here is the problem as I see it. Acording to the code this
should be the location of the swf file:
http://www.steigerfamily.net/2005/10/09/shark-attach-in-aruba/theshark.swf
but on your server the file is actually here:
http://www.steigerfamily.net/theshark.swf
So I think you need to adjust the location of the swf file in
your code for it to work. It seems like the page was moved and that
caused it to stop working:
<object
classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0"

align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"

Ps - not sure if ti should be:

Solution: Flash Videos Not Playing - Win7 w/Comodo Firewall

On a brand new machine, I added my desired desired programs. These included Comodo Firewall and Firefox with assorted plugins and addons (including Adobe Flash Player, NoScript, FlashBlock, AdBlock Plus).
I soon discovered that videos would not play (Initially I could see some videos if they were using HTML5, but after some tweaks they were gone too). I tried MANY suggestions and tweaks found on various boards, nothing worked.
I should have learned long ago that I need to document ALL CHANGES I make to my system - but old habits die hard. I tried many things, with no notes written. I didn't know what issue was preventing Firefox from playing videos. Nothing I tried worked. After no success, I reset Firefox (sad to see my custom settings go). When I restarted Firefox with only the Flash Player plugin active, I still couldn't play videos.
More searches followed. I finally stumbled upon the solution on the Comodo site:
http://forums.comodo.com/defense-sandbox-help-cis/defense-in-clean-pc-mode-is-blocking-flash-uploader-in-firefox-3612-t64628.0.html;msg459022#msg459022
There I learned that Comodo Defense+ had blocked the Firefox Plugin Container (and Crash Reporter) from running.
I used the following steps to fix the problem on my system (w/Comodo Firewall 7.0.317799.4142):
1) Open Comodo Firewall (right-click the Comodo tray icon and select Open)
2) Select Tasks -> Sandbox Tasks -> Open Advanced Settings
3) In the "Advanced Settings" Window, select Defense+ -> HIPS -> Hips Rules
4) Find the entry for Firefox.exe. Right-Click it and Select Edit.
5) In the Comodo HIPS Rule for Firefox.exe window, select the "Access Rights" tab. Locate the "Run an executable" option. Click the modify link under the "Exclusions" column.
6) In the "Run an Executable" window, select the "Blocked Files/Folder" tab. Select the plugincontainer.exe entry and right-click -> remove to delete it. Do the same for the crashreporter.exe entry.
7) Click "OK" on each of the Comodo Firewall widows to save the changes and close the window.
After I did this, videos would play. My next task will be to reinstall my favorite extensions and see if I can get Firefox to work as I liked it on my old PC.
I hope this helps anyone with a similar setup.

That was very good research. Happy Computing !

Flash Video not playing in Published file

I published the files. I then click the "view ouput" button.
I am able to see the video playing locally. However, when I copy
all the contents in the publish folder (.htm, .swf, .flv, etc.) to
my web server, the flash video does not play. The rest of the .swf
animation plays, just no video.
I do see a security message
I did choose progressive download and selected Flash version
as Flash Player 8.

IPhoto 11 video not playing correctly

I'm not sure this is because of the recent upgrade to iPhoto 9.4.2 but when I attempt to play a video, the video freezes on one frame but the audio continues as if the video is playing normally. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Shane Ross has a tip that may work for you.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4109217
"There is a trick that you need to do. Because I export mine at 30fps out of SNAPZ, but when I bring them in to FCP, they are 10fps. Odd...
BUT...if you use Cinema Tools and CONFORM the clips to 29.97, then they will work fine. Open Cinema Tools, cancel any option to open or create a database. Open the clip and hit CONFORM.
Then import into FCP and use this trick to edit it:
www.proapptips.com/shane NON STANDARD CODECS IN FCP
You'll still have to render the audio.

Streamed H.264 videos not playing correctly thru IE

I'm new at web stuff so this is probably the dopiest question yet, but here goes.
I'm setting up a web page where my clients can stream a "quick-start" QT movie. My tests have worked perfectly on my own computer (Mac Quicksilver) using Safari and QT7 Pro. It even works when I force them to play using the latest RealPlayer. My partner can't seem to view them on her PC using Explorer. So I did a test where I tried to view them through Explorer too, and I got the same problems.
From reading other threads, it seems this may have something to do with "tags." Can someone explain what tags do and what I might need to do to my videos to play more universally?

Streaming media needs special "properties" called hint tracks inside the media and is also only served from special software.
99% + of the files you view are "downloaded". They use "fast start" to begin playback as soon as enough data has downloaded so that they can play without having to re-buffer (reload) data.
QuickTime plug-in "guesses" the download progress and begins playback (if the file properties or the page code is set to "autoplay") when enough data has been downloaded.
Streaming media can't include some other neat QuickTime "tricks" (like Flash media or text tracks).
We really need some rain down our way. I just answered a knock at my door. It was three Redfish and a really skinny flounder (maybe he was standing sideways) and they asked for a drink of water.
My PDF will teach you some "tricks" and help you get the most from QuickTime Pro. Plus, it will put something other than roadkill wild hog or deer into my diet.

Video not playing correctly in Safari

Hi there
I am having problems viewing embedded video streams in Safari (6.0.4). The video will play ok for a second or two then breaks up into vertical lines (see picture below) with the video's audio playing back ok. I have loaded the same pages using the Chrome browser and the video will playback ok without any issues so that narrows it down to be a problem within Safari.
I know the simple answer is to switch to Chrome as my main browser but tbh I really don't like Chrome very much and would prefer to use Safari as my main browser.
Any help solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
