.flv VIDEOS not playing smoothly

A heavy video-generated Captivate project has been created in Cap 4:
* 18 slides all up, with the total size of .flv videos coming to 90.7MB
* Using Captivate, as looking for interactivity -- there is also a menu, so users can jump to whichever section they'd like to watch/use
When accessing the completed project online:
1) The loader quickly goes up to 100%
2) Shows the preloader image I have inserted
3) User clicks play, and the first slide with video plays...
The first video either freezes / move quickly along the timeline. You are also unable to jump to other sections shown in the menu. While I am not too worried about this, my priority is for comfortable viewing for the first video. I am assuming that the first video freezes, etc because the whole project has yet to load completely. How can one work towards this solution? I have tested the loading time, changing it from 10%, 20%, towards 100% but the video is still freezing at times / moving quickly along the timeline.

Thanks for your PM - I just checked your project and it runs 100% fine and smooth for me.
I checked it on two different PC's
1. Vista 64-bit, IE 7.0, Flash player 10, 10mbit/10mbit internet connection.
2. Win XP Pro, IE 7.0, Flash player 10, corporate LAN
This leads me to the conclusion that the issue is the speed of your internet connection. The first video is around 80 seconds and is 13.5 Mb. That is very big when you consider the length and especially the dimension of the video you are using.
If you dont already have FP10 then try and upgrade to see if that helps. It's much better at handling videos etc. than the older versions of Flash players.
Secondly you need to recode your videos. You will be able to get the first video down from 13.5 to perhaps 4-6 mb, with a noticable quality loss. If you have Flash you can use the Adobe Media Encoder to do the recoding.

Aperture videos not playing smoothly in iMovie 11

My Aperture videos in iMovie are not playing smoothly. They do play fine when they are in a iMovie project, just not when previewing. It is choppy.
Everything was working fine with iPhoto11 and iMovie11.
Any ideas for a solution?

Try trashing the iApps preference file. For instructions, see this post.

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,

Flv videos not playing on html files - UNC/Mapped Drives

Hi,
We've discovered an issue with Dreamweaver CS3 recently (running on Windows 7 Pro, 32bit) in our school, where embedded flv video files wont run when the file's UNC path appears in the address bar, but will if this is changed to the local drive letter, in our case N. This obviously makes it a little difficult for teachers to mark students' work.
I found a similar issue in another thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/688483
which had not been answered. Are there any known solutions for this please? I have spent a while browsing, but have so far not come back with much. I've tried enabling and disabling 'Remove run from start menu' which was suggested, but this didn't make any difference.
Thank you
Regards

Flv video not playing in AIR application

Hi everybody,
i'm building a tutorial with flash catalyst and since the 20 states limit i've split it up in different swf files that I import and show in different states.
One of these swf (which i built with Catalyst as well) is supposed to play a flv video, and it actually plays it if i run it alone.
The problem comes when i build the overall tutorial: it works perfectly with the "run project" command in Catalyst and with the run-local version but the video won't play if i try the AIR application.
Does anyone have any suggestion?
NB: the "asset" directory created with the AIR application installer does contain the flv file (i didn't have to put it there manually)
Thanks in advance for your help,
Giuseppe

Hi Giuseppe,
what I do is:
1. create a file using Captivate
2. i place a .flv video in this file
3. save the file as .swf
4. then i go to dreamweaver and put the swf on a html page.
Now:
when viewed in a browser, everything runs fine.
when i pack this page into an air application (in dreamweaver) the video does not appear,
instead I get this "Connection Error"
I do not know a console or log file.
However, I learned that there is a .xml file located in the same AIR folder that you publish in.
In this .xml file there is a setting :transparency. in order to playt a .flv file this must not be be "transparent"!
(i read this somewhere in the net)
hope that helps
I will talk to a professional programmer, if I have any news, i will let you know

Settings to export a Quicktime video to play smoothly on an iBook G3

Hi, now I that I have an A/V cable for my iBook, I can hook it up to my TV to watch videos, etc. The problem is, a lot of videos do not play smoothly because the processor is only 500 Mhz G3.
I have tried to "re-enocde" the videos at a smaller size, etc thinking that they might play better, but haven't been able to find a set of settings that works.
For example, right now I want to re-encode the Apple Keynote from the other day so I can watch it on TV. I tried doing this with the last Apple keynote and was never able to keep the picture smooth and the audio in sync. It was a disaster no matter what I tried, and I ended up just watching it on another computer - although i'd rather watch it on my TV from the couch!
I do have Quicktime PRO, so if anyone could give me some suggestions in re-compressing this video, that would be great!
Thanks!
-Scott

Tilting at windmills if I ever saw it.
You could download the iTunes version (a little over one gigabyte) to have a file to work with and use QuickTime Pro to export.
You would then switch to the MPEG-4 Video codec rather than use the H.264 version that is nearly impossible play without issues on a G3.
Cut the frame rate in half (30 down to 15) and do the same with the data rate (not sure of those values).
Size the file at 640X480 (not sure of the actual dimensions so check the aspect) and leave the audio track the same. Wait (probably a very long time) for the export to complete.
You could test a few one minute "cuts" from the source to check your settings so you really don't waste a lot of time.

Music not playing smoothly in iTunes

I recently updated my iTunes to the latest version and ever since then my music has been jerking and not playing smoothly. I've checked my computer's performance while iTunes and other applications have been open and all seems normal. I've run the setup file again and chosen "Repair", but nothing has changed.
Any help would be appreciated.

This version of iTunes 12.1:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
seems to address the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version (the installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer). The "for older video cards" does not seem to fully define the scope of systems for which this alternative works better.

Lumix Camera video not playing properly

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 digital camera which, in addition to still photos, can record short video clips. According to the user manual the videos can be played on my Mac by using QuickTime. I am able to transfer the file from my camera to the Mac and open it with QuickTime but it does not play smoothly. It starts, then stops at some frame while the progress bar shows that the video is playing (also the voice portion continues, albeit with interruptions). If I pause the video and click on various positions on the progress bar, I am able to get to frames further along in the sequence. I have tried to open the video using Real Player and get the same outcome. I am able to play the video on the camera's display and, using the cables supplied by the manufacturer, on my TV. Any suggestions.

Sorry - this isn't help, just an extension to your problem. Since the compulsory update to QT7 from QT6 when I went to 10.4 I've not been able to play a number of previously okay avi, mpg, and mpeg files. The codecs are a pain to sort out - because they offer no help at all. In "upgrading" to QT7 I'm now further behind! By offering links to the codec sites the producers of QT seem to be offering a skeleton product (with some big bones missing) and a catalog shopping service for multi-media software. This is not what we need.
I'm as frustrated as you are!!!

Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

Why are my videos not playing the right way up

Why are my videos not playing the right way up

I took four video clips while on a trip this week. Two are oriented the right way (playing wide on the device and imported correctly). The other two are Tall and not oriented right. Orientation is 90 degrees to the right. I don't know why this is happening on occasions. Even some pictures I took did the same **** thing. It's weird. And I can't figure it out. The camera is held the way I want the pictures and videos to be recorded and played but something internal is turning these videos and pictures 90 degrees clockwise.

sharankumar1, which phone model do you use? Nokia phones are a bit picky about the file content, the codec. If you tell me your model, I tell you the available codecs. In the meantime, you have to convert your videos …

U310 Touch - Videos not playing after 8.1 Update

Hello,
I have updated from Windows 8 to 8.1 and updated all my drivers on my U310 Touch.
However, I seem to have a problem with web based videos not playing videos on the internet.
This seems to happen on every kind of web browser, including IE, Firefox, Chrome, and even Steam.
If anybody knows how to fix this problem, that'll be great.
Thanks in advance.

Since the upgrade to 8.1.1 my iPhone 6 stopped recognising the fingers I had stored. I've deleted and addrd them again (which went as norma) and it still has problems recognising them. Seems very intermittent now, whereas before this upgrade was very reliable.
I've reverted to a pin code :-(
