FLV takes half second to load in a SWF. Any way to eliminate the "white flash"?

I understand its not a perfect world and computers need to load things etc. But is there any trick to having an FLV play right away eliminating that half second of white?
The only thing I can think of is to export the first frame of the video as a jpg and have that in the background of the video. but other than that is there another fix?

The Flash Player only supports playback of FLV movie files.
It cannot
playback QuickTime movies or movies of any other format. If
you want to
play it within the Flash Player it will need to be converted
to FLV. You
could still offer a separate download of the MOV if you
wanted.

  • ITunes loading delays on screaming machine - takes 90 seconds to load

    Need some help. Just built a new machine from the ground up. It has Intel Duo Core E6600 2.40 ghz CPU, 1066Mhz FSB, 4 mb L2 Cache; 2 gb DDR Ram; 500gb Raid 0 HDD; GeForce 7600GT 256mb Video card. Running Windows XP Home until Vista comes out. Screams. All other apps load in <1sec. iTunes 7.0.2 takes 90 seconds to load. With NAV & Firewall off still takes 75 seconds to load. iTunes load on other older PC's in the house takes 5-20 seconds. When watching Task Manager on itunes.exe; in first second ~25,000k loads into memory, then hangs for 90 seconds and then remaining load happens taking memory usage up to ~45,400k. Any ideas as to what's going on? Baffling?

    sorry for the delay in getting back to you Windbeam. 60-odd reply-notification backlog in my inbox, and i'm trying to alert people that i'm not going to be around much for the next 2 weeks.
    Seems to be related to hardware or the OS. Solution is to have a cd in the drive and then the load screams. Makes no sense at all! Very strange.
    good lord ... that is peculiar. if it wasn't for the fact that having the CD in there was helping boot times too, i'd be wondering about a problem with your iTunes CD drivers ... but they don't load on startup.
    perhaps check on the general wellness of the drive? i'm getting similar symptoms at the moment from belladonna (just during boot-up, though). her optical drive is broken at the moment, and when she's booting there is a significant delay, and i can hear the desultory clunky/whirr noises as the drive tries to run during those delays.
    so it might be worth just doublechecking if your firmware is up-to-date on the drive. there's some info in these documents that might help with that:
    Using CD Diagnostics in iTunes for Windows to troubleshoot CD/DVD drive issues
    iTunes for Windows: Updating the firmware on your CD or DVD drive
    Updating the drivers on your Windows PC
    Where to find firmware for your CD/DVD drive
    anyhoo, have a good holidays!

  • Visual Studio 2013 Publish window takes 30 seconds to load

    The Publish window takes 30 seconds to load in my ASP.NET MVC5 project. Previously, it loaded instantaneously.
    If i remove the PublishProfiles folder, the window loads at once. Its only after i've saved an actual publish profile this occurs.
    A new empty project does not have this problem. Therefor the problem 'should' be related to the solution/project.
    Some more information:
    Visual Studio 2013, fully updated.
    ASP.NET Web Application
    .NET Framework 4.5.1
    MVC 5
    Any ideas how to proceed ? :-)

    Hi Antevirus,
    Do you install the VS2013 update 4?
    If you publish the same app in other vs machine, how about the result?
    To make sure that it is not your VS IDE issue, please also run it in safe mode, or reset your VS settings.
    For the performance issue, please also think about the windows Environment like configurations or other processes.
    Best Regards,

    Thanks. I know how to select multiple tracks in the mixer, did that and put on group clutch,
    Hi
    Wrong..
    To assign tracks to a group, click in the dark gray box just above the automation (Read/Write/Off etc) on a channel strip, and select the group number you wish to use. The first tim eyou assign a group, the Group Setting swindow will appear automatically, thereafter you need to click on the group area and choose 'Open Group Settings'.
    Make sure that you have turned off Group Clutch (this disables all Groups)
    Maybe this will help

  • Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

    Hi,
    I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
    Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?
    Regards,
    Zdenek

    The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
    It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!

  • Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Have downloaded both Adobe reader and PDF reader, but when I attempt to open a pdf from a site on safari, it starts to load, then disappears.  Any way to fix this?

    Try quitting the PDF apps and Safari like I describe below. Then reset the iPad. After it starts try again.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • ITunes takes 90 seconds to load due to TCP Reconnects

    iTunes takes about 90 seconds to load on my Windows 7 machine - a VERY fast machine with 6GB RAM and SSD drive where all other apps run very fast.  Scanning the internet, I found many instances of extremely slow loading, but none of the suggestions were helpful.  So, I used Process Monitor to see what the f*ck iTunes is doing...
    It turns out that iTunes is hanging due to TCP Reconnects.  It appears to be scanning TCP ports in the range of 61432 to 61503, trying each one twice, and each attempt takes 500 ms to time-out, causing a total of a 71 second hang during startup.  As appears to be typical for this very poorly behaved software, all of this occurs before any UI has been drawn - not even a splash screen - making things all the more confusing for the poor user, who is left wondering why the heck the program doesn't appear to have launched.
    I realize that this is probably not occurring for all users, meaning that there is something different about the installation/config on my particular machine that is triggering this problem.  Still, that is no excuse for such ridiculous behavior, especially for such a widely used application.
    Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.  Although, I'm not really interested in the obligatory shotgun approaches of things like doing full uninstall/re-install of iTunes and/or Windows 7, etc.  So, thank you for not asking me to do things that are likely to be a huge waste of my valuable time.  If you want me to capture and post details about my machine, I'll do that - even though it's highly obvious that this is an ugly software problem in iTunes that needs to be fixed.

    FYI, the TCP Reconnects are shown as MachineName:61xxx -> MachineName:5354, and the result of the API call is SUCCESS.  I'm just assuming they're timing out since the API calls are 500 ms apart.  I have no idea what this API is doing exactly, or why it seems to be scanning a range of ports but with each connection then apparently going to port 5354.  Very strange.  There are no other API calls in between the TCP Reconnect.  Picture is attached:
    calls.

  • A game that used to load in old browser does not load in Firefox, despite installing new version of the Adobe Flash player as instructed?

    I used to have Internet Explorer as the browser on my laptop but had loads of problems. I installed Firefox as I had been told that it was more efficient. I play several application games within Facebook and one of them - Treasure Island Adventure Game - does not load whatsoever. It states if game does not load within 10 seconds to upgrade my version of the Adobe Flash player. I did that and re-started my laptop and the problem was not solved. I even deleted the application then loaded it up but it still did not make any difference.

  • Is there any way to remove the see-through grayscreen and the 8-dotted circle whenever mozilla loads a html5(.webm) video?

    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Its especially annoying when you need to watch the movie frame by frame and loading grayscreen darkens it so that you can see alot of less details :/
    Is there any way of removing that gray whatever?

    Your original question was:
    When i watch an embed .webm in the innate html5 player, every time i try to forward or rewind the movie it puts up the grayscreen+loading icon(even tho the movie was fully preloaded).
    Could you post a link to a web page where you see this problem?
    I couldn't find a test page for an embedded HTML5 webm video but I found this link to a webm file:
    *http://clips.vorwaerts-gmbh.de/big_buck_bunny.webm
    The above webm file link is from this test page:
    *http://camendesign.com/code/video_for_everybody/test.html
    (The embedded video on that page is actually a mp4 file). That test page is linked from the Mozilla Support article, [[Viewing HTML5 audio and video in Firefox]].
    I have no problem using the slider to forward or back up video playback in either the embedded HTML5 mp4 video or the webm video linked above.

  • Any way to back the side loading ??

    hi all. i have many problems ... when i installed the content viewer v 1.7
    its not working well .. when i uploaded my folio with my adobe id in indesign cs5.5 . i dont found it in the content viewer in the ipad
    and if i found it .. i cant downloaded it ... Why ???( thats first problem )
    the second problem is the size .. i make a big folio about 150 MB .. i have  a problem  when i uploaded it .. i take a lot of time
    then side loading it was  comfortable .. why they remove it ?

    I think this is your third post with the same question.  First can you describe you problem a little more in detail, step by step on what your doing and someone from the community can try and identify your problem.
    Secondly sideloading was a feature left over from the pre-release.  Viewer 1.7 was meant to be release around the time the tools were released to reflect the updated workflow.  In my opinion, sideloading was too open-ended and a minimally secure method of testing.  There are talks of exploring a secure method of "side loading like" testing, but so far these are just discussions.

  • HT1583 When burning a DVD of photos and music from iDVD, the photos blur right before the transitions and the music has about 5 second glitches here and there before the music starts again. Is there any way to burn the DVD without this happening?

    Each year I am in charge of making a slideshow of photos and music for my annual company meeting. I always use iDVD to set up my photos and music and then burn the DVD to play at the meeting. Every time I burn the DVD, it blurs right before the transition of the photo. It has always done this and I'm not sure why. It will also make the music glitch in a few spots for about 5 seconds or more. If I burn another DVD to try it again, the glitches will still be there, but in different spots. I've tried the highest quality of DVD's possible and this still happens. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Try disabling transitions altogether!
    There is a technical reason that this breakup happens - it is to do with how slideshows can be saved within the DVD specification, they can either be recorded as 'video streams' or as a collection of 'still images'.
    When you add transitions iDVD has no option but to use a video stream, this can result in terrible 'breakup' because the mpeg 2 encoder isn't designed to handle scenes that are static with a sudden short change. You can see 'artefacts' in the video stream…
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_artifact
    'Still image slideshows' avoid the issue altogether by only showing a static image, no video compression is used & because the scene doesn't transition so it shouldn't breakup.
    NOTE: Music on the slideshow is irrelevant, both types can use a soundtrack.
    I cannot remember if it is possible to force iDVD to only make still image slideshows, I always use DVD Studio Pro to correctly setup DVD's. I'd suggest you use the option to save the DVD to a disk image & then open that disk image so that DVD Player can preview it, that should save on the number of test disks you burn.
    If you cannot make it avoid using video streams you may be ether off making your own video slideshow in iMovie & then import that into iDVD. It may eventually look better despite being a video stream!
    iDVD isn't really condusive to professional levels of control.
