FLV and cfcontent

I've been attempting to use cfcontent to supply an FLV file
to a flash application. I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone
have an example of this?
I'm using FLVPlayback with contentPath to direct flash to the
cfcontent script. The flash works fine if I point directly to the
.FLV file. Do I need to use some other facility for playback when
using cfcontent?
The purpose of this whole thing is to limit access to the FLV
to people who are logged in. If you have a different suggestion on
how to do this, please let me know...
Thanks!

Is there any option to get source materials from the host? Do you have a link to this site so we can take a look?

How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats

How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats
Nowadays, every one can download their favorite videos from video sharing websites like YouTube, Hulu, MySpace, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com and so on at will. However, these video files we got are usually in the format of FLV, or F4V, which are not workable by most portable devices, or some video players and video editors on our PC. With the intention of solving these problems, this guide will show you how to convert FLV and F4V files to other video and audio formats in detail.
1. Download, install and run Pavtube FLV Converter
As soon as you run this program, the following wine red interface will show up:
2. Add files, set output format and destination folder
Input FLV and F4V files to this program by clicking on “Add” button, and select a format as the output format in the drop-down list of “Format”, meanwhile, you can press the output folder to specify the destination folder or just use the path set by default. Moreover, “merge into one file” enables you to combine multiple FLV and F4V files to be as a single file, if you have this needs, just tick it.
3. Set advanced settings
Click “Settings” button, the following interface will pop up. You can change the parameters like screen size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. on it to optimize the output quality or compress file size.
4. Convert
After all settings are done, you can press “Convert” button to start transferring, and then the following window will show you the conversion info in detail. According to the info you can manage your time and disk space properly.

CFpdf and CFcontent shows filepath and filename in browser

Thanks to all for past help on my CF questions...
I've developed an upload application for (logged in to secure environment) users that uploads a pdf outside of the root, moves and renames the file and then cfpdf protects the file with a password. Part of the upload process inserts variables in a SQL database such as Catagory, Subcatagory, FileName, etc. The cffile move puts the file inside the root where I have a security framework. No problem with this.
I have a cfm page populated (dynamically) with links to the pdf files. These links contain url handlers that pass the filepath and filename. When a user clicks a link, he is carried to an index.cfm that has the security framework and within this page I have cfpdf link to the pdf file (and sets a password) and cfcontent loading the pdf file in the browser. All of this works just fine, as it should.
However... Because cfpdf sets the filepath/filename source and destination and passes this on to the cfcontent tag -- the filepath and filename are shown in the browser address bar as well as naming the download file the same as the http address (albeit with underscores) if the user saves the file. Anyone with any savvy can figure out the actual filepath and filename and go directly to the file in their browser. They'd still have to type in a password to view the file but I'd rather not have this filepath exposed like this.
Without having to create a copy of the original and rename the file, is there a way to change what is shown in the browser address and in the download filename? At some point there may be many pdf files uploaded and stored on this site. I'd rather not have 2 copies of each file on the server - the original and one renamed...
I've googled and googled and can't find an answer anywhere on this. Thanks to anyone pointing me in the right direction here.
- e

Finally figured this out...
Since the file exists on the server, there's no need to use cfpdf and cfcontent to serve up the PDF.
When the PDF link is clicked, the user is directed to a page that has the security framework where there is a redirect to the PDF on the server. I have the PDF password protected. The PDF opens in the browser and, if saved, is saved with the file name only instead of the whole url+filename.
Learning to work with CF and PDFs through cfdocument and cfpdf lately has been somewhat frustratingly fun.(!) I guess it was overkill in trying to do the above when all I needed was a direct link to the file itself.
Hope this will help someone else...

Undesired Load order of FLV and MP3s

Hello
I have added a scrolling Flash page with a FLV and several
MP3 files in each their own player to site below.
I have set the video to autostart.
The MP3s are set to not autostart.
When I export the FLA the swf nicely plays the video first,
and the mp3s are loading in the background simultaniously.
When viewing the page in Firefox and Netscape the same
happens, just as intended.
Problem:
But in IE and Safari all the sound files are loading first
(and not playing) and not until they are fully loaded will the
video start loading and playing. This results in viewing an empty
video window for a long time.
1) Is there are way to make all browsers load the video first
and play it first?
2) And in general manage load order of video and audio files
in a Flash file?
Thank you on beforehand.

no, the sounds wouldn't be playing until you used the start()
method of those sound instances or you assigned the source property
of your mediaplayer and you wouldn't want to do either until your
flv completed play.
in fact, it would be optimal to first load one sound: the mp3
that follows the flv. then when that sound completed loading, load
the 2nd sound.

AS3: Could we convert .swf into .flv and .flv into .swf

I'm searching for a program that can take an .flv and convert it to an AS3 .swf file. Is it possible in as3, Does anybody have any ideas?
I am not talking about any third party converter software.
Thanks,

Hi swati61,
I'm not sure why do you want to play an swf file in flv player. Will you post it on your website?
If yes, here is a solution:

Load pdf with cfheader and cfcontent

I have the following code to load a PDF.
<cfquery datasource="lamtra1_data1" name="getpdf">
Select * from lamtracpdf WHERE id=#url.id#
</cfquery>
<cfoutput query="getpdf">
<cfheader name="Content-Type" value="pdf">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="inline;
filename=D:\hshome\lamtrac1\pdf\#filename#">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf"
file="D:\hshome\lamtrac1\pdf\#filename#" deletefile="No">
</cfoutput>
The problem I have is that the browser load the entired PDF
before open it. I would like to have the first page to load so the
user can start seeing the document while the rest of the pdf is
downloading... i do not want the pdf index in the search engine
because its confidential information so i have put the files before
the domain root. So I have to go with the code above to make it
load. The PDF is format correctly because if I load it from the
root it work correctly because it open right in acrobat reader but
in the way I did it the acrobat reader open in the browser thats
why i have to wait until the entired document have download before
starting viewing it... anybode have a solution for me please help

FLV and SWF Joining and Resizing - Help?!?!

Greets,
My wife is a copy writer, and as part of her portfolio, she has to go and capture the end result once it has been shot. In the current perplexing case, a web site has a small speaking host who will occasionally point to the right at an animation. The host is on the site as a FLV and the animation is a SWF. I guess it makes sense for them, but it certainly seems like they could have gone the extra mile to make it one file.
Anyway, I have captured the FLV and the SWF, but am having a VERY hard time combining them, even after reencoding both into AVI. For the most part, they are very different dimensions, and when all is said and done, the result is blocky probably because the exported dimensions are too big.
My main problem is that the video size is set at the time you set up a project, and no amount of trial and error on my part has allowed me to figure out what to set that to.
Any help on any of this is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Is there any option to get source materials from the host? Do you have a link to this site so we can take a look?

Sync when compressing HD FLV and F4V in Premiere Pro CS4

Hi. I'm trying to create PSAs for You Tube that were originally created with a small camera that produced HD Quicktime files. For YouTube they don't have to be perfect but that is what I'm working with. My computer only has 4gb of ram so I can't watch the video to test for syncronization since it just gives a slide show while editing. It never does anything but a slide show with HD video.
When I watch the original unedited Quicktime file the sync was way off. When I render out the original file in an FLV and F4V format just to test the sync it is PERFECT. Then I edited the first video taken from that session and used FLV and the sync was PERFECT. So I'm doing the second video, tested sync on the original footage, and its PERFECT.
So I thought it was okay to keep going. Everything was perfect after Premiere rendered the raw footage. The first video worked, right? The second video's raw footage sync was fixed, right?
Now that I spent all the time to edit the 2nd video, sync is TERRIBLE. I have no idea why. F4V was worse than FLV, but neither was great for video 2. So I guess I have two questions:
1) What format can I use to upload to YouTube that won't give me an unusable sync problem
2) Is there something I can do to see continuous synchronization within Premiere Pro CS4 without updating my hardware? I am using Vista 64 bit, 4gb ram, dual core intel. Do I have to make a major hardware upgrade just to get HD video not to be a slide show while running Premiere?
Thanks!

Dave,
Deleted all stuff...
You might try this "TEST" at some point if you're using equipment to record sound as outlined in the following article....at any rate you might find the article interesting anyway for the future...
----------------------sorry I should give credit to who wrote it but you can google the first line and find it maybe -----------
sync demuxed sound The Problem -
Miniature audio recorders, be they minidisc or solid state, offer a very attractive, cost effective, alternative to the traditional use of radio microphones, for the capture of remote audio sources in video recordings
These machines record the audio in a variety of different formats - MP3, WMA, WAV, ATRAC -- and in a variety of qualities - but they all suffer from the same problem. It can be difficult to synchronise the remotely recorded audio, with the camera recorded audio.
Although the time honoured tradition of an audio 'clapper board' works well enough to align the beginning of the two soundtracks, there is a tendency for the two tracks to appear to 'drift' out of sync over time - and the longer the recording, the worse the problem. In fact they do not actually 'drift', but the gradual loss of sync is a function of the camera and audio recorder sample clocks being slightly different frequencies.
The simple reason for this loss of 'sync' therefore is that the audio is being recorded at different speeds. Although the recorder will specify the sampling frequency, the accuracy is then dependent on the internal crystal oscillator of the recorder - which is, of course, a different oscillator from the one controlling the camera timing. Although these crystals may typically be accurate to within 0.005% or better, even this degree of accuracy can cause the two recorded audio tracks to be out of sync by up to 300mS after 30 minutes. Even after 5 minutes, the 2 tracks can be some 60mS different in length, in a worst case scenario.
60mS difference will cause a distinctly audible 'echo' between the two audio tracks. (Even 20mS is detectable as a separate echo).
This difference is of course totally unacceptable, and corrections need to be applied. It is important to remember that even if your audio recorder crystal is absolutely accurate, and it is the camera clock that is slightly wrong, it is still the remote audio track that will have to be corrected. The 'wrong' camera audio track is the one in sync with the video, and has to be the 'master' track.
The Solution
It is important to realise that although the sample oscillators may vary with regard to each other, they tend to be remarkably accurate over time, referenced to themselves.
This means that if you know by how much the frequency your audio recorder sample 'clock' differs from the camera 'clock', then a single correction factor will bring both tracks back into sync.
A simple procedure is outlined below, using free programs, to enable you to calculate the correction factor required for your particular recorder.
Programs required (all free):
1) AoA audio Extractor --- (not necessary if you can extract the audio track from a video recording in your NLE)
2) Audacity , a free audio editor
3) Switch , a free audio file type converter
Step 1: Set up your camera and audio recorder next to each other, and start both running
Step 2: Make a good audio 'clapperboard' point by tapping a pencil firmly onto a hard surface, as close to both camera and recorder mics as possible. This will cause a fast 'edge' to become the reference point, which will be useful later.
Step3: Let both devices run for at least 10 minutes. 20 minutes are better, but not essential.
At the end of the period, (timing not critical), make a second similar 'clapperboard' reference point. Allow a few more seconds recording, and then stop both devices.
Step 4: Download the video from the camera, and the audio from the recorder to your computer.
Step 5: Open the video file in 'AoA audio Extractor', and extract the audio from the video. Convert this audio file (if necessary) to a 48KHz 16 bit LPCM (wav) file, using the 'Switch' program linked to above. This file will be your reference audio file.
Step 6: Open the WAV file saved in the previous step in 'Audacity' - a free audio editor.
It is now necessary to save only the part of the file between the two 'clapperboard' references, which hopefully stand out clearly (if you hit the pencil hard enough in steps 2 and 3!).
This must be done accurately, to within 100th of a second, or better.
Click and drag the file to highlight the beginning section, including the first 'clapperboard' waveform. Use the 'fit selection to window' tool (immediately to the right of the 'zoom' tools) to magnify. Delete as much as possible before the 'clapper' reference. Repeat the operation until you can clearly identify the first distinct waveform of the 'clapper' reference waveform. Click, hold and place the cursor directly over the first full (clipped) waveform, where it crosses the centre line. Delete every thing to the left of that point, by clicking and dragging to highlight, and then deleting with the scissors tool.
Step 7: Repeat the above procedure for the end part of the waveform, again using the start of the second 'clapper' waveform as your reference cutting point. In this case, cut everything to the right of your selected reference point (not the left, as in the first case.)
Step 8: It is necessary to record the exact length of this new cropped waveform. This information is listed at the bottom of the window, but in a rather inappropriate format. Locate the toolbar at the top of the window, click 'Edit'-'select all' and then 'Effects'-'change tempo' . Note the length of the file in seconds in the right hand box (the left hand box is greyed out).
Record this figure. It is the reference file length
Step 9: It is necessary to convert the file recorded on the audio recorder into an identical format to the camera audio track, namely 48 KHz 16 bit PCM. If the track is not already in this format, open it in Switch, a free file transfer program, and select the output encoding as 48 KHz 16 bit, mono or stereo to fit your audio file. This program will then convert whatever format your input file is (MP3, WMA, 44.1 KHz PCM, etc) into the required 48 KHz, 16 bit format required.
Step 10: Repeat the procedures in steps 6 and 7 for this new file. Edit the 'clapper' points with as much accuracy as before, but notice that the 'clapper' waveform will appear different from the first, although hopefully with as clearly defined first ' zero crossing' point.
Step 11: Repeat the procedure in step 8, and you will notice that the overall file length is different.
Overwrite the original file length into the right hand box, and take careful note of the resulting figure in the percent change box. Make sure you record whether it is a plus or minus value - it could be either! This is the most important figure, because it represents the percentage variation between the two units.
Once you have obtained this value, simply apply it to all files recorded with the same recorder and this camera. Providing you can align the start of the file with a single 'clapperboard' mark, there is no need to repeat the rest. Simply change the length of the external audio file by the correct percentage value, to allow the two audio tracks to remain synchronised.
It may seem a long winded process, but it only needs to be done once, and could then save quite a lot of time, against the option of trying to align tracks manually in your NLE, in small sections.
You may of course wish to use an alternative audio editor, and the details of this procedure may then be slightly different, but the principle remains the same.

Do flv and swf have pixel sizes?

I am putting some video at a website. The video is in FLV format. How do I know what size the pixels would be?
Do flv and swf files have actual pixel sizes? Thank you!

Stop please

The video would have whatever size it is encoded as, and then the player could display that at whatever size it desired.

CFheader and CFContent

Hello all-
I am having an issue with the tags cfheader and cfcontent.
This is the code I am using:
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="filename=Jurisdictionary.exe">
<cfcontent type="application/octet-stream"
file="c:\windown\Jurisdictionary.exe">
The issue is that my file is not being renamed correctly, I
keep getting a file with the extension of 'EFW'.
This did work at one time as I had been provided with thte
mime type of "octet-stream" but now that is not working, has anyone
got a solution or a site where I can get more info?
Thanks a bunch, you are all the very best there is and many
thanks to you in the past!!
Respectfully
MIke Dooly

I can't put Flv and Wmv video formats on my ipod touch

I can't put Flv and Wmv video format's on my ipod touch..Please write me how to do that..Thank you.

You need the appropriate app such as Buzz Player. You can also use a converter program such as Handbrake to convert them and them sync them to your iPod.

Problems with FLVs and personal media player

We've created our own media player that will handle FLVs, SWF
and MP3 files. Its in the library as a linked item and we wrote a
class to handle everything for it. First we started coding for the
FLVs (not getting to the other 2 yet) and we're having problems
with them. Sometimes the FLV won't load at all, sometimes it will
stop about 2 to 3 seconds into the FLV and won't play anymore, and
100% of the time, if we go to a new frame (this is for CBT) and
load another FLV it won't show up at all. While IN flash, it will
load the first FLV, but when running it as a SWF or Published EXE,
its "sketchy" about loading even the first FLV.
the information is pulled from an XML file that has what file
it is, the position on the screen, etc. The FLV lives in the same
directory as the SWF file does as well.
To load in the mediaPlayer and FLV file we use this:
content_mc.addChild(new mediaPlayer(mediaFile, myType,
mediaX, mediaY));
the content_mc is an empty movie clip that just sits on the
stage so we can go through and erase all the children for the next
frame:
var mcNumChildren:uint = content_mc.numChildren;
for(var c:uint=0; c<mcNumChildren; c++) {
content_mc.removeChildAt(0);
I've attached the class for the mediaPlayer linked library
item.
does anyone know why this is giving me problems? we've had
everyone here look at it, and we just can't figure it out!

I believe Quicktime Pro (which is available for Windoze) is capable of opening any WMP files and then you just export it as iPod format. That is how I get video onto the iPod. The Music and Videos all can be placed onto your iPod through iTunes.
So, if you are creating videos in your program, and want them on your iPod, then that is how you can do it.
Videos on your iPod have nothing to do with the formatting of your music. But, as the earlier post stated, change your prefs in iTunes to import as MP3. But, your videos HAVE to be in MP4 or M4V format to work on the iPod.
Good luck... and I'm a j3susfreak too
