FLV files won't play in other programs

Has anyone experienced this...
I encode FLV's using PP CS3 with no hickups during the encoding. They play fine in Windows Media Player (latest version). But not all players play them. I put them on our streaming server and they won't play in our web pages using the Dreamweaver player. They play fine if i use the jeroenwijering media player but not Adobe's own media player which comes with Dreamweaver.
My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
I used Movavi FLV converter and Riva FLV Encoder and a couple others and nothing works.
Has anyone else experienced this and have they found a solution?

I cannot help you with the playability issues of your FLV's, but:
My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
I use Moyea's FLV Plug-in for PrPro. IIRC, it works fine in CS3, though is not supported under CS4.
To date, I have yet to be handed an FLV that it would not Import and edit properly. Thing that I like about it, is that it's a true plug-in and there is no conversion necessary.
I've used FLV-to-AVI, and it's slow. Also, the conversion is an extra step.
Good luck,
Hunt

FLV files won't play on testing server

I've created a site with several videos on multiple pages. They play on my local computer but will not work when uploaded to my server. I get an error in opening the page and a "plug-in cancelled" message in the Activity window in Safari. Other FLV files play from other servers (even those I created and placed in other site files using the same method). I feel certain that something in my upload is causing the problem, but I cannot find any missing files or misplaced files on the server. NO FLV files are playing on the entire site.
A page in question is: http://www.hensondesigns.com/kpc/COMEDIANS/Guy_Branum-bio.html
(disregard the second and third videos on the page which are embedded from YouTube; it's the first video that won't play)
I've got the Scripts folder uploaded and the skin file within the COMEDIANS folder on my server.
Does anyone have any ideas what's wrong? I'm sure it's something simple but I have no idea.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Hans-G,
Thanks for checking the page to try to help. I apologize--I figured out the issue and didn't have a chance to remove my question from the forum. The issue was being caused by the files being on my server--somehow they weren't being found. I made an adjustment in Dreamweaver and they now work. Thanks again!
Is there a way to remove this entire post? I realize it will be of no help to anyone else, and I don't understand the problem and solution well enough to add details to make it helpful.

that's the error i get, and supposedly ffmpeg should be able to handle this conversion

Some files won't play, while others just like them play fine

A couple of weeks ago I purchased a 3rd gen iPod Nano 4gb...between it and iTunes, I was able to easily get up and running. iTunes pulled together all of my music -- some of which had come from iTunes, and some were protected files from other sources that it couldn't load...but the vast majority of the files are unprotected MPEG Layer 3 files.
All of those files are seen by iTunes, displayed for me, and all of them play on my computer. A certain number of them I wanted on my iPod...so I checked the boxes and sync'ed the device. All but a handful of them play on the iPod. But here's the odd thing....those that won't/don't play are displayed on the iPod. It knows they're there. And I can scroll through them and select them...and the screen will even come up to indicate to me that they're about to play (with the song running time "thermometer" at the bottom)....they just won't start.
I've tried de-selecting them from the iTunes list, sync-ing again to remove them, then re-selecting them and sync-ing again....with no change: they're displayed, they can be selected...they just won't play.
Anyone have any idea what's going on?

go to albums
select all albums
right click one (as this will be the same as right clicking all of them)
go to the bottom of the pop up munu
click "Check Selection"

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Premiere pro/audition bug? Mixdown file won't play in sequence

Howdy.
Never had this happen before, so I thought I'd ask you academic types what's going on.
I created a sequence in PP that contained multiple audio (wav)/video files. I exported the audio to Audition, balanced the amplification, declicked, popped, etc. Created a mixdown of the files and exported (wav). I imported the mixdown to PP and placed it into the sequence (I've done this thousands of times before). Unfortunately, there were no waveforms on the file and no audio can be heard.
However, if I open the same file in the source monitor the waveforms are there and the file plays as it should. I can also open and play the wav file in media play, for example, and everything appears to be fine.
Any ideas on why it won't play in the program monitor/timeline/sequence?
Thanks

Oh well, not a big deal. I was able to use the clip by creating a new sequence, dragging from source monitor to new sequence, then copy/paste from the new sequence to the sequence I needed.

FLV File does not play when published to my web server

Hi. I have created a short video in VC3 and selected the FLV option to create a web page. When I uploaded the entire file content to my web server (windows 2003 server hosted at Network Solutions) the FLV file will not play. Now... if I do the same with a WMV tile, the video plays.
You can view the file at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/va_education/VATutorials/index.htm
We have another video published in WMV format, although the video vs audio sync is out of wack at the moment, at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/Energy%20Pricing%20101/index.htm
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again
You should probably double-check to ensure the standard.js file was also copied in when the HTML page was imported. It should be there but it never hurts to double check.
You might also perform a double-check to ensure things ended up in the correct folder (if you are organizing your project into folders). It could be that you moved the HTML page into a different folder and orphaned the JavaScript file.
Cheers... Rick

MP4 files won't play in mobile browser?

I have a media file, MP4, which plays fine on desktop browsers. But on the iPhone4 and on Android 2.2 mobile devices this media file won't play within the browser. I get a broken link where the embedded video should be playing. I am using proper object/embed tags per a previous successful attempt I made doing this and I cross referenced my classid to one that was posted online to make sure I didn't miss any syntax. What could be going wrong? Did I encode the mp4 incorrectly? If so, then why does a 3gp file that I rendered FROM the broken mp4 play within the mobile devices without a hitch?
Sincerely,
markerline

Are you sure you have Photoshop Elements 8 and not Photoshop Premier elements 8? I would have thought that MP4 files can be played in Premier elements (PE) rather than Photoshop elements (PSE). PSE is for photos and PE is for movies and videos.
Perhaps you could try installing the trial version of PE13 to see if anything changes. I am not into movies and all that so my answer is just a guess work.

HD movie and tv show files won't play in iTunes 10.6.3.

Just did a fresh install of Mountain Lion and for some reason now HD movie and tv show files won't play. I get a black screen.
Standard Def tv shows and movies are still playing fine though.
Oh and yes I already tried switching it to 32-bit mode via the "Get Info" screen. Same problem results.
Any suggestions?

I think I have the same problem. Every time I play some HD movies in iTunes the movie seems to be stuck and the screen black. If I scrub the movie forward I can see the picture, even captions, but I can't play them. I said some because there are certain movies that DO play. I mean HD ones, SD video plays fine. But I couldn't find any clue. It's not a matter of file size, neither a matter of resolution, compressio... I'll wait for an update (system and/or iTunes) and if nothing happens I think I'll dig a little more. This is no big issue for me since they ALL seem to play perfectly when I select AirPlay to my Apple TV.
I'll try checking tags

.3g2 files won't play in any media player

Hello.
Ever since we updated to OS X Mavericks, any old .3g2 files won't play in any media player on our iMac. When we go to play them, they play button in QuickTime just flashes from pause to play and then back to pause and and nothing happens. I'm not sure if this file type is becoming outdated and therefore is not compatible with the new OS X, but I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this.
Thanks.

Did you try VLC?

Wav files won't play in Firefox 22

Wav files won't play in Firefox 22. Previous versions of Firefox are fine. Other sound is fine. I have the latest mac OS X. Quicktime is set to play wav files. I have the latest version of it.
Is there a fix for this?
Is there any other plugins I can install which will play the wav files?

Thank you for your response Alice.
I checked about:plugins and I DO have audio/wav and audio/x-wav. It it QuickTime 7.7.1 I have.
In Firefox Preferences Applications Panel I do not seem to have the iTunes.Document audio/x-wav there, only the audio/wav and Waveform Audio.
Re the New Email Notification feature with my Webmail, this is not activated via a Firefox extension. I don't really know how it works but when I'm logged into my Webmail email account and a new email arrives, a wav sound is played to alert me of the new email. This has always happened with all previous versions of Firefox, just not since I updated to Firefox 22 but when I go back to Firefox 21, it works again.
I have previously asked about this with my Webmail company. They knew nothing of this problem. I have now asked them for a second time now that I know that it is only THEIR wav sound that won't play. Other wav files play OK with Firefox 22.
I do not know what is at fault - Firefox 22, QuickTime or the Webmail site but for the past few days I have frequently switched between Firefox 22 and Firefox 21. Each time the New Email Notification wav sound works with Firefox 21 and doesn't with Firefox 22 so that makes me suspect that somehow Firefox 22 is at fault.
But it is a mystery and I might be stuck with it - unless it disappears as mysteriously as it arrived with a newer version of Firefox or maybe even a newer version of Quicktime.
Thank you to everybody who has tried to help me.

After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
and the 2nd one is:
I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked. The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
On the system that has not been updated, go to:
MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders. Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location. Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal. This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up. If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.

Getting a flv file to start playing with no sound

SoundMixer.soundTransform = soundVol;

you can use the soundmixer's soundtransform to control all volume but, unless you have multiple sounds, you should probably use the netstream's soundtransform.
in either case, to start your video with no sound, assign the volume property in you onMetaData function:
function onMetaData(data:Object):void {
var st:SoundTransform = videoStream.soundTransform;
st.volume = 0;
videoStream.soundTransform = st;
