Get Embedded Quicktime Files to Load LAST?

This is a long standing issue for me and I haven't been able to find a solution.
Is there a way to force embedded Quicktime media to load last on my iWeb created pages? Often, when I have an .mp3 or worse, an .mov; a few of the page elements load on the browser screen, but then the movie file loads and, until it is fully loaded, the rest of the page elements do not.
Please help. This is really a big deal to me as I add more and more blog entries.

Possible workarounds that don't load the movie until the play button is selected:
Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player

How do I get an embedded quicktime file to appear "activated" w/playback & volume upon opening PDF?

I am new to adobe acrobat, and I'm using version 8. I am trying to insert quicktime videos in a PDF File. I have figured out how to insert the video files and embed them in the PDF.
However, when I save the PDF, close it, and then re-open the it, the quicktime file does not appear. If I don't use a poster image, then it is just blank where the file is, but the file is there, and when I click on the empty space where I know that it has been embedded a dialog box opens about playing it just this once, or making it a trusted file, etc. Then it plays, and the volume and playblack controls, along with the background, are visible. (it is actually just an audio track in a quicktime file, so nothing is playing but the audio, and the background is solid black. I have set it up so that it stays there once activated.
What I want is for the volume and playblack controls and the black background to appear as soon as you open the PDF file, without having to click in the blank area where the file has been inserted. This is going to be part of a portfolio that I am submitting for a school program, so I need the person that is opening it to be able to clearly see where the file is, and see the playblack and volume controls so that he can playback the file.
So how do i get the embedded quicktime file to automatically show up in "activated" mode, with the playback and volume controls visible and ready to be used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

If the video is only linked it would reduce the file size of the pdf and it would make it accessible for people opening on a device (like iPad) which does not allow flash which must be installed with Acrobat to view embedded media.
But I would recommend to send the people only a link to the PDF. I hate it, when my iPhone filled with useless stuff, if I would like to see it I could donwload, but as attachment make my space overfilled.

Embedded QuickTime files not playing sound

I'm having trouble getting older, embedded QuickTime files to play properly. Many of them do play but without sound.
An example:
The embedded QuickTime files in questions 6 and 10 here...
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07web.htm l
...do not play sound.
When viewing the files directly...
Example: http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07_Quiz_m edia/0706_split_brain_red.mov
...the sound plays properly.
I have done a bit of playing around on a few different machines and have found the following:
2009 MacBook Pro: video and sound play correctly in Safari and Firefox

Is this a Yosemite issue? Not being able to play older QuickTime 7 files properly? I'm not sure what else the issue could be since everything seems to work fine in 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 (unfortunately, I have been unable to test this in 10.10 or 10.10.1). Maybe I'm overcomplicating a simple issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some very interesting observations which peaked my own curiosity due to on-again, off-again nature of the playback. I suspect this is either a "bug" or represents content handling changes that are currently in the process of "evolving." Not a web site programmer so I used iWeb to run some contrast-comparison tests on how audio was handled by the plug-in software when directly accessing the content by its URL and via the page embed strategies. My results mirrored yours in that:
1) All legacy codecs tested (A-Law, IMA, QDM2, QPV, and u-Law) in an MOV file container played correctly in the QT 7 player.
2) The same files all played correctly when content was accessed by the plug-in software directly using the URL reference.
3) None of the files containing legacy audio compression formats would play audio using the plug-in software using a web page embedding strategy.
4) An MP4 (H.264/AAC) version of you original clip played correctly in all instances.
5) Replacing your QDM2 audio track with an AAC audio track in the original MOV file allowed the file to play correctly in all instances.
Based on these observations, I suspect the problem is in the way the software is currently programmed to handle (or rather ignore) the embedded strategy content. However, as you indicated, it is probably time to update your files. Not only did the H.264/AAC version of your original file play in all instances, but it used less than 45% of the file space/bandwidth for the settings I employed as compared to your original "0706_split_brain_red.mov" original file.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

Problem embedding quicktime files

Hi,
I run a website with embedded quicktime files at www.tubespot.com. I have a problem viewing the quicktime files using Safari. The page seems to work fine on any other web browser.
I copied the code for the <object> tag and the <embed> tag straight from trailers.apple.com. And in Safari, if I refresh several times, eventually it will show the video. This is true on any of several macs running Panther and Tiger.
Also, when I put forth just the <object> tag it works every time. But in the context of my site, it often doesn't show up. I've tried playing with the tag specs to make sure there's way more than enough room, etc., but I cannot seem to make it consistently show up.
Can anyone look at the code and offer any insight to the problem? Is anyone able to reliably see the videos using Safari?
Thanks,
Chris

How can I get a video clup to load last on my page?

Since the entire page is trying to load at once, the quicktime file slows up everything else. If I set it to autoplay it will start playing before the page finishes loading...
Is there a way I can go into the html file and change the order of how things load and make the video clip load last? thanks
you can check out my site at:
http://PrimitiveGroove.com
thank you!
Hunter S.

well, it finishes loading last... b/c it is the biggest file. On some of my other pages the video is 8meg-12meg big and really slows up the load time.
I have no problem with the length of time that it take the video to load, I just want it to load last so that the rest of the page loads first... As the large quicktime file slows up the loading of the entire page..
What happens is that on autoplay it starts to play before the rest of the page is finished loading and looks crummy with all the lame iweb graphic squares on the page as it plays.
So once again is there a way to get it to load last?

How can I get a swf file to load...

Not sure if this is the place to ask this but I have a swf file embeded in a web page design.
Now here’s the issue, the client wants to add more photos to it making it even larger.
I would prefer not to make it larger but create 2 or 3 swf files that would randomly load when the webpage is refreshed or reloaded.
Is there a way to code a random swf loading in HTML?
Would I use javascript? I googled and found nothing on the subject.
Thank you

If you know JavaScript (ECMA Script) then you might be able to get it done applying a for loop and a random function
to the for loop if you know how to get a page-loaded request into JavaScript.
But an easier solution, if you know ActionScript 3.0, and if your SWF's don't need to be recoded and can load into a "container" SWF would be to create a master FLA file that loads your SWF's in a random fashion using Math.random() as a multiplier, though you won't see much variation if you only have 2-3 SWF's to load--if you had more than that then you would begin to benefit from the random function's capabilities. In ActionScript 3.0 use the load() method along with addChild() to load the SWF and add it to the stage. You will be able to search for specifics on how to code the FLA properly by using Flash's Adobe Help tool and also using an internet search.
-markerline
P.S. Once you have the master FLA coded you can Publish it to an SWF and an HTML and if the container/master SWF needs to be in a page with other content you can simply copy and paste the object and embed tags for the container SWF from the published HTML into any place on your master HTML that you need it to reside. You can then use CSS to control placement of the SWF object if it is in a div tag.

Embedding quicktime files to be viewed in mobile safari on iphone

I'm trying to place some quicktime files i've made on my site so that they're viewable on my iphone's mobile safari browser. I can't seem to get it to work, anyone else have any luck?
Currently i've exported it as .mov, and .m4v several different ways including using QTPro, FCP, and compressor and always selecting the iPhone option.
Is there a certain type of html the iphone needs to have the video embedded with in order to read it on the iphone?
My current result is either the phone says "can't download file" or "quicktime can't play file"

i'm not sure the iphone supports .mov files. try exporting as a .mp4 (MPEG-4).

Embeded Flash files stop loading part way through after update to 10.2

Hello, I am currently having an issue with Flash. After the last update to 10.2, flash files, both audio and video, stop loading part way through them and do not start up again. For instance, on youtube, about 2 minutes worth of video will load but load slowly and then stop completely. The only way to get it to advance is to click past the section that has loaded and it will load the next 2 minutes. On Myspace Music, a song plays about 40 seconds each time and stops completely and will not load anymore, even if I try to skip to another part of the song. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition with Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 64 bit edition as well. Also I have tried clearing my cache, cookings, temp files, removing and installing Flash countless times, including older versions, as well as tried Google Chrome and IE. All give me the exact same issue no matter what I do. It is really frustrating because I cannot watch or listen to anything embeded in Flash online without having to keep clicking the next section every little bit. If anyone can help, please do and I thank you.

Hi, Since your OS is a 64bit, are you using the 32bit browser for IE? I see you have the FF beta. Have they come out with a 64bit browser? I don't follow the FF beta so if that's true, it's news to me.
Let me know,
Thanks,

Embedded quicktime files in website

Hi
whats the best method of embedding some .mov h264/mp3 demos in a website WITHOUT having the videos load on page load. essentially i want an embedded player like the JW FLV Media Player which you see on blogs all the time and doesnt load the video until the user clicks on the video image - problem is it dosent work with my .movs, are there any other flash-written embedded players that will?

The technique is known as a "poster movie" page.
A simple image file format saved as a .mov file. It loads the QuickTime browser plug-in (testing the machine for a QuickTime install) and just "waits" for a viewers "click".
The click triggers the HREF link and the "target" (browser window, new browser window or QuickTime Player) downloads and displays the file.
Advantages to this method are obvious. The image format "poster" is a very tiny file size. Nothing happens until a visitor click on those images so you could have dozens of them on a single page. Nothing downloads until a visitor clicks which saves you tons of bandwidth usage.
One of my pages as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
Another method is a QuickTime Media Link file. These are tiny .qtl files that are "text based" links you can add to your page(s). Because they are text based URL's you could disguise them in the body of an html file page text. They measure in KB's (bytes, really) and a click on them would download to the viewers computer. If they have their browser set to open "Safe" files the QuickTime Player app would launch and the file would play using the Presentation settings you set for the file.
Another of my files as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/TouchofGrey.qtl
If my example reverts to the "small" version please wait about 30 seconds and then hit Command-F to revert to full screen so more data can download.

Can get my .swf files to load using the place option

For our website www.divineunity1.com we have several videos we want our customers and patrions to be able to watch once they visit the website. We ultimately had to use the embedd funtionin flash because we can't get the video to show up using the file-> place method suggested here on Adobe. I contacted live chat and was told that we needed to "make changes to the code which you are using toinsert in muse and use some javascript" but we don't k now how to do this. Can someone guide us through the process or link us to a tutorial of how to do this so that we are able to add flash video players to our site. Thank
Eliana Hebrew

Currently, Muse only supports importing SWF files, not FLV. Nor do we support placing MOV, MPEG or other video formats yet. Embedding video in SWF is a possible solution. How is SWF import into Muse not working for you?
You can also embed video from streaming services like YouTube and Vimeo. For more information see this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1004462
As for modifying the raw HTML and JS to attach video players, this is possible if you have web programming skills to bring to bear, but the changes you make to your site will not come back (round-trip) into Muse, so this is not advisable.

QuicktimeX Not Streaming Apple Trailers or Embeded Quicktime Files

For examples, going to http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/invictus/ and clicking "Large" or any other format brings up a black box with a link saying "QuickTime required. Free download". Clicking an hd format (480, 720, etc" does absolutely nothing. Nothing loads, no progress bar, no downloads windows. This happens in both Safari and Firefox.

I too cannot get movie trailers to play on my macbook running leopard. If I go to the apple website to play trailers.. I get an error that says "quicktime required,. free dowload". I try to download it and its version 7 of quicktime so I get an error message saying it can't be installed because quicken x is already installed. All I am trying to do is play some movie trailers. I tried trashing quicken x and re-installing form the mac oxc snow leopard disc, but that didn't fix it. Same thing happens. 'm perplexed?

How do I get m4r ringtone files to load on iPhone 5

A note about me... I don't watch movies, listen to music, play games, tweet, twitter, or any of that. I use my phone as a phone, have a few basic apps that I find useful. I use of the camera to capture the needed documentation every so often. I want ring tones to separate out work from personal contacts and I have a few that I want to load on my phone.
I've converted several sound effects/music snippets to .m4r as I believe are required for being used for ringtones on iPhone 5. I am getting frustrated and dismayed at my inability to simply move them over to my iPhone. My iPhone replaced a BlackBerry that never had any problems with importing, creating or playing almost any type of sound as a ring tome. The iPhone is better than the BlackBerry, so why can't it do this simply...

Can only be done if you have an IMAP or Exchange account. You create the folders on the server & they will then sync to all of your devices. Not possible with a POP account, & locally created folders(on your computer) cannot sync to any of your devices. Same with mail rules, they must be done at the server level.

This method uses two tags: <object> and <embed>.
