FLV format & use?

Hi,
I was sent an FLV and when I double-clicked it, it launched
my Flash Player 8, but the screen was blank. Nothing played.
I'm only familiar with FLAs and SWFs so can you give me a
quick overview about FLVs?
Also, how large are typical movie files that stream and play
through an embedded player (with stop, pause, etc)? Are they
usually 15+mb? (I need to check on that)...I mean, is it typical
that they are pretty large files?
I need to add the FLV to a web page. If you could possibly
point me in the right direction in order to download and utilize
one of the free players (movie controls), I'd appreciate it!

When you import an FLV to the stage you should be presented a
number of windows with options. The first is to find the flv video,
next is how you plan on presenting the video (streaming from
server, embedded, progressive streaming), then you should get a
window asking which skin file you wish to use to control the flv
file (control buttons).
#1- With progessive streaming the FLV framerate is determined
by hjow it was encoded, not the Flash files FPS. So you don't have
to worry about that.
#2 - The FLV Playback component should automatically size
itself to the movie size.
#3 - The file is choppy... the original may need to be
re-encoded to flv using better compression methods. Try the On2VP6
codec at medium settings.

Can't convert to FLV format like I used to

I have a QuickTime Pro license and I am up-to-date. I used to be able to convert an avi file to flv format for use in Adobe Flash. Now I get an error saying "Wildform Flix Exporter encountered a problem. This version of Flix Exporter is not licensed to run under the current application." What's up with that? How do I now convert to FLV format? Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the primary reason I upgraded to QuickTime Pro in the first place. Plus, I find trying to get to the right place to even ask this question to be extremely time consuming and frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

QuickTime Pro has never exported to Flash video without third party software.
Seems like your "Flix Exporter" ( http://www.on2.com/index.php?316 ) is that third party application.
Contact them for more answers.

Converting .MOV video file into FLV format?

Hello, I finished editting a corporate video for client and they want to know if I can also send them an FLV format video.
Does anyone know how I can do this. I edited video in Final Cut Pro and used Compressor to export my final .mov video file.
How do I make this a FLV file?
Thanks~

The best method would be to use a Flash encoder to transcode the video. Do you have a Flash encoding application?
Another method would be to export an H.264 file of the video. When it's finished, change the file extension to .flv. It should play in later versions of Flash player, but won't play in older versions.

It takes 11 hours to convert to flv format from Quicktime

I edited a DV movie from camera using FCP and one hour final movie after adding all animations and effects in .mov format which was about 12 GB takes about 11 hours to be converted to flv format is this usual or I need to do some thing.
My system configuration is
Power PC G5
3500 MB RAM
1.1 TB hard disk.
I used Marcromedia Flash Encoder
OS Mac OS X 10.5.8
is there some thing that can be done to shorten the time as the compressor of FCP wont submit batch.That is an error I am getting in it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47672?viewlocale=en_US
and any of the solution suggested above does not seems to work.
This post is not about compressor problem I had asked that on another thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2374397&tstart=0
but it says to install an old OS which is not some thing logical I feel to be able to use compressor I wont be downgrading my OS.
What I want to know is to be able to convert to flv from .mov format so much time is it a usual thing or some thing can be done to shorten it.

That's what I meant. You just need a good compression codec.
Can you help to identify or let me know a few codecs I will try.
Is FLV the only resource you streaming server will use?
Yes it has to be flv.The decision is not in my hands it will be a Linux Server so if you are aware of any better file format let me know.I can suggest.
You can use hardware compression systems to go directly to several different >low grade codecs but I've never used them.
I do not have any such hardware but anyways
thanks for this suggestion.

How do I protect my FLV files? or How to encrypt and decrypt FLV files using AIR?

Hi,
I am working on an AIR application, which is developed on eLearning concept. The application mainly deals with flv files. The application contains a video player component, which will stream flv files from an Apache Server and played in my application. Here my concern is I would like to protect my flv files some how against users who may stream them from Apache Server and use them without my application.
I thought of with an idea to do it. But I don't know whether it will work or not. So I am requesting for your suggestions and better ways to do this with a sample.
Here is my thought:
I would like to place the encrypted FLV files at Apache Server side [ Need to know how to encrpt the FLV files using Flex]
As my AIR application send a request for a FLV file, the Apache server should send the decryption key and a stream of FLV file.
AIR application should take the decryption key, stream of flv file and it should capable enough to decrypt the FLV file and play it in my application. [ But I don't know how to encrypt/decrypt FLV files through flex]
I can do encryption of FLV files using Mac Address of Apache Server system and using Java. But I don't know how can I decrypt the same FLV file ( Encrypted using Mac Address and java ) at AIR application side.
So I would be greatfull If any body help me in encrypting and decrypting of FLV file with a sample using Flex 3.0.
Thanks

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32.

Record Audio in mp3 file format using FMS

I am Recording Audio Using FMS which will record Audio file in FLV File Format default But I like to Record in MP3 File Format. Is it Possible.
And I also Record Video In MP4 File Format using h264 encode. Which Give me Video File in MP4 File Format but When i will try to play that MP4 File it Didn't play. So, I post-processed video with a tool called F4V Post Processor. Now That MP4 Video File Play But Didn't Give me Sound in that Video.
My Code is:
        var h264Settings:H264VideoStreamSettings = new H264VideoStreamSettings();
        h264Settings.setProfileLevel(H264Profile.MAIN, H264Level.LEVEL_3);
        ns.videoStreamSettings = h264Settings;
        ns.publish("mp4:"+FILENAME+".mp4","record");
I search Lot but didn't get the solution. So, Please Give me Solution for Both thing.

The .flv format is a "container" format, not a video format.
So that means that inside the container, you can have a video file and/or an audio file or even just an audio file.. which most likely is already an mp3 file. Use something like "FLV Extract" to break open the container and see:
http://moitah.net/
But really, for any Web delivery of audio, the .flv (audio only) method works just fine. Lots of media players available for the Flash .flv file.
For example:
Sounds from my bunk on the Lady Washington
http://exploreolympics.com/reports/?p=2857
Scroll down to third media player.
A little quiet to start with... but this is a .flv file with just an mp3 audio file inside.
Best of luck!

Flash player flv format

hi guys looking for some assistance,
I have lots of video files i wish to place in my website. These videos are all AVI format and i have been told this is too large for the web and it would be better to convert them, so off i went and purchased sony vegas and camtasia studio to do just this. Now im told flash is the best format for the web but i see no flv option in any of these applications (am i missing somthing). So i have the choice of mov, wmv or MPG4 so after trying them all looks like MPG4 is the best, however when i convert i end up with several files MPG4, SWF and an html so this is confusing me. Im kinda new to the Media side of things and would like some info. My videos range from 8 to 15 mins i wish them to be converted in such a way they will require a flash player to view can any one assist.
IF FLASH flv IS THE BEST FORMAT WHY DONT SONY VEGAS OR ANY OTHER CONVERT TO THIS......????????
Thank You

Greets!...
File-import - select import video option.
All the videos are converted to flv format. But you install qicktimer player install your system.

Using php script (ffmpeg) convert to flv format

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in F4V or FLV format?

I would like to know the list of possible output (export) file codec from FCP X. For example, can I export in FLV format? Where do I find the list, which gives me all the details about it? Or is there only one output codec? Thanks

That's an excellent analogy. While FCP cannot export FLV. It is possible to do a very simple substitution. If you export a QuickTime movie using the .mov suffix with the H.264 codec, you can change it to FLV simply by changing the suffix to .flv. This is an acceptable format for Flash movies on most web sites, if that's where you're trying to go.

Converting to FLV format

Hi,
I am a church webmaster. I built a simple media player to put on my church website that will play an intro video from our pastor. I looked at the javafx media area on javafx.com and it says that the only cross-platform media is flv. I'm not in a position though too purchase a rather expensive program to conver my video file to flv. Are there any free(or cheaper) programs that can convert to flv format? I have one program that I used to convert my file converted to .flv, but when I try to play the video I get an exception that says the media format is not accepted, so I guess the OnFlix software doesn't convert to that .flv format. Any other programs?
By the way, the program that I used was AnyVideoConverter if anyone is familiar with that.

There are lot of video converters (just search the term in Google!), lot of them free. I think/guess lot of them just use FFmpeg behind the scene, officially [or not|http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/shame.html]. FFmpeg is a well known video converter, it supports flv output.
It is a command line tool, but there are several GUI around it, for example WinFF (you didn't indicated which system you use, I assume it is Windows...).
Another well known/reputed converter is SUPER, which uses FFmpeg and several other tools.

.FLV Format to Adobe Premier Elements 4 for editing -- Difficulty

Hi:
Have Dell Dimension 4600 with 2.4 GigHz CPU
WINXP with SP-2
RAM = 1 GIG
2 HD's (20 & 200 gigs)
I recently downloaded from YouTube a lot of
videos by using RealPlayer's software (version 11),
which uses the .FLV format.
I want to transfer them to Adobe Premier Elements 4
for editing, but it will not accept this format.
I tried using Virtual Dub and/or MPEG-Streamclip
to change this format and they too would not
recognize this .FLV format
Any suggestions??
Thanks

Hi again:
Have some questions about the Moyea FLV Plug-in:
As previously stated, I have been using the Prism Video converter,
which does seem to convert the FLV file to some type of an AVI file.
I then load this AVI file into Premium Elements 4 (PE4), and it first
has to be "conformed" in the PE4 software.
Then, if one attempts to open and edit this file, it either is an ex-
tremely slow process, or the software freezes, requiring a re-start
(sometimes multiple times) to complete the editing before rendering
it into an edited AVI file.
Curious to find a work-around, I avoided this first time editing
and just had the PE4 software just re-render the whole intact
Prism-generated AVI file into a PE4-generated AVI file which has
apparently much less "overehead" and can easily be edited in PE4.
so, I end up re-re-rendering the original FLV to get the edited AVI
file I want.
Does the Moyea FLV Plug-in avoid this labor-time intensive task??
Also, its web site advertises 2 different packages:
1) FLV Importer Pro for Adobe Premiere:
"FLV Importer Pro for Adobe Premiere is a plug-in program for Adobe
Premiere. Adobe Premiere is a professional and popular video editing
tool, which allows importing video and audio in various formats, like
AVI, MPE, MPG, M2V, MP3, WMV, WMA, WAV, etc.
Yet, it does not support the FLV file, which is widely used on the
web. FLV Importer Pro for Adobe Premiere is just a program to make
Adobe Premiere accept the FLV file for video editing and composing."
Price: $60
2) FLV Importer for Adobe Premiere:
"FLV Importer for Adobe Premiere is the same with the Pro version,
except the Flash 8 alpha video import and cheaper with 20$ off!
It is a plug-in program for Adobe Premiere.
Adobe Premiere is a professional and popular video editing tool, which
allows importing video and audio in various formats, like AVI, MPEG,
MPG, M2V, MP3, WMV, WMA, WAV, etc. Yet, it does not support the FLV

Support FLV files encoded by any codec,like:
Flash 8, H.263, RAW, ADPCM, MP3, Nellymoser.
FLV Importer for Adobe Premiere is just a program to make Adobe Prem-
iere accept the FLV file for video editing and composing."
Price: $40
(version 2)
The product sites of Moyea Software:
Video-to-flash.com, Flvsoft.com, My-video-converter.com.
The homepage of Moyea Software:
http://www.moyea.com
Which one is the most practical to get??
The site offers a "Free Trial"--is that worthwhile??
Finally, is this site trustworthy??
I am using the PE4 mainly for the conversion of FLV files and would
appreciate any rational method for accelerating the process.
Thanx.

CONVERTING FINAL PRODUCT TO FLV FORMAT FOR ZMAG DIGITAL MAGAZINE

I am trying to get my final product into a flv format to send to my bosses to use on our new zmag online digital magazine. I have no clue how to export or convert my final product in final cut pro 6.0.1 to this type of file. I am able to do wmv, mov, avi etc. Can someone help me and explain how I can get my video into flv format?
Thank you sooo much!
Victoria

Smaller files typically equate to lower quality.
With that understanding, you'd lower the video and audio bit rates (trial & error) until you get the size file you want.
Consider Tony's suggestion of making a H.264 file and changing the file descriptor to .flv
H.264 is an excellent codec for internet distribution.

FMS H264 recording FLV format

I am trying to record a H264/AAC streamin FLV format on my FMS server and all I get in the recording is the metadata but no media content. Is H264 recording only supported in F4V?
Siva.

Yes FLV format does not support H.264/AAC content. You need to use the F4V container (or a MPEG-4 container) to record H.264/AAC content. From FMS 3.5.3 RAW file format is also supported which can hold H.264/AAC content. You can read more about it at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashMediaServer/3.5.3/FeaturesGuide/flashmediaserver_3.5.3_fe atures.pdf
