Hosting iWeb entry pages on .Mac & video files on own server

Hi
I am trying to establish whether there is any real point in hosting a podcast on .Mac because of the bandwidth cost. Is there a point in publishing the podcast entry pages to .Mac, but hosting the video files on another server where I can get cheap bandwidth? Seems like less of a hassle to publish new entry pages if I'm going to podcast using iWeb. How do I make sure that iWeb doesn't upload versions of the video files to .Mac when I publish? ie. only the links to these files on the other server are published to the new entry pages on .Mac?
Tks Guys & Gals

Don't worry, actually worked this out. There is no point in hosting any part of the podcast on .Mac. Just figured out how to browse to new ftp location in iWeb. Sorry, Mac newbie

Hosting iWeb developed pages on another server - password protection ????

Hi All,
I've uploaded a website that I developed using iWeb '08 on another hosting service other than .mac. I need to develop a 'members only' section that will have password protection on it. iWeb's password protection feature only works on websites and the website has to be hosted in .mac. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to do this on a non-mac hosting server?

Its great to see what everyone is doing with iWeb.
I would appreciate feedback from my attempt, thanks so much.

How do I stop Mac creating files on Windows server creating hidden files?

I have my macbook connecting to a windows 2003 server share. Whenever I write a file, either by creating or editing and saving, it creates a hidden file too. I edit filename.doc then I'll also have ._filename.doc in that directory. It's distracting the windows users and causing me to become a little unpopular. How can I prevent those hidden files from being created?

This happens in part with some Mac files that contain both a resource and a data fork. Windows doesn't know how to handle these files and breaks them apart. Also, Mac OS creates certain hidden files used by the Finder that also get transferred but are no longer hidden on Windows because Windows does not recognize the "." preceding a filename as the Unix shorthand for "invisible."
There are a number of free utilities you will find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate that can prevent this and the hidden files from appearing on the Windows drive.
Zipping files before transfer will also prevent the problem from occurring.

Embed streaming video from my own Server into InDesign CS5

Hi all,
I try to place a streaming video into my Indesign CS5 Document. InDesing seems to find the File, cause it shwos up the preview image in the Media Window, but the videoslider nor the play-button of the media-window is working.
the link (Red5 Streaming Server):
rtmp://87.230.53.80/oflaDemo/personaltv/bewerbermagazin/wuerzburg/test/video.flv
When I export it as an interactive PDF, and I click on the videoframe, it first shows the security dialog as expected, but after that it is only the empty player and the progressbar looks like it can not connect to the streaming server.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks in Advance for any hint!
P.S.: If I load it from my webserver via http:// ... it works great.

I think this isn't really an InDesign issue at all. It sounds like an Acrobat issue.
First, you haven't said what version of Acrobat you're using. I'm assuming Acrobat X Pro?
I've used this with a friend's Flash Media Server so I know it works. What version of Flash server do you have installed?
I the link you provide I see a spaceband after the word "test" in the path. Could that be a problem?
Other than that, it appears that you're following the requirements listed in the Help file for Acrobat X Pro.
If you have further problems, you might post this on the Acrobat User Forum.

Assigning video files uploaded via a customer form to the src file section of another page (without manually having to copy an paste over)

Hi. I’ve set up a web form that uses html and javascript. This particular form lets you upload files. I also have another page that lets you play videos. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make the inner html of for example the upload file form field equal the file that is played by the video player on the other page.
Basically on youtube when you upload a video it automatically makes another page with the video file you uploaded assigned to the video player on that page. I want to know how to go about doing that. So people can upload videos and then be able to watch them instantly without me manually having to create the page an assigning the right file to the page.
Even just knowing how to create a different page each time the form is submitted would be helpful. Thanks.

This is more complex than you realize and JavaScript alone can't do it. You'll need a server-side script like PHP to authenticate and sanitize file uploads to prevent malicious scripts or malware from ever getting to your server. Then, your script will have to process the uploaded file by saving it to a folder or database, give it a unique ID and then redirect users to a new page that pulls the file into an HTML5 or similar player. How good are you with server-side programming?

Can't open my video files on PC computers

Hi, may be it was already discussed here but I couldn't find a topic.
I made a page in iWeb that includes a few video files (saved as .mov and .wmv). When I open this published web page on my Mac - everything seems to be fine, but PC (Windows) users can't run these videos on their computers.
Does anybody know what encoding should be to solve this problem?
thank you,
Vlad

Thank you,
All PC computers that can't see video files have
QuickTime 7 installed.
I tried to save video in flash format too but it
made
my files bigger and quality worse besides I can't
control video on the web page because it starts
over
and over again. I can't stop or pause.
May be I should try to change code on every page
like
they recommend here:
http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media
/streaming/
but it'll be painful...
Vlad
Vlad Here is a SUPER SIMPLE solution for your dilema
You need to make a non-movie page, any will do. Start
your movie and take a photo of it with shift-apple-4.
This will give you an image of the movie and also the
Windows Media Player frame. Place this image on your
page, give it a title etc and make sure the image is
selected. Using the inspector, chose Link to File.
When you do this, navigate to the wmv file that
corresponds. When you upload your site, that file
will be stored along with it and when the link is hit
the wmv movie will launch in the windows media player
automatically for your PC friends.
Hope that helps
PS to last post if you have a program like "cleaner" your encoding should be
Windows Media >NTSC> 256K Streaming> 320X240> 30 fps that should result in about 1 Megabyte per minute of video with an "ok" quality if you want a better quality move up to "small" or medium" download will result in bigger files but better quality play with it till you are happy with the result.

How to create a download link for video file?

Hello guys,
I know this is not a question directly related to OS X, but I just can't find a solution. So I was hoping that some of you might know the answer, or could recommend further reading.
I have .mov video files (video footage) on the server. I would like to make these files accessible for download, via link.
So I am wondering .... how can I create a link, which would allow people to download .mov video files from the server?
Thanks for any advice or tip.

The question is, where is the server?
Is it on its own static IP? If it is not, it likely is on a DHCP configuration.
For those with DHCP, I recommend http://www.dyndns.com as a workaround, otherwise the links given will have to change as often as every hour!
Is it on a router, or does it have a firewall turned on in its sharing preferneces? Routers and firewalls block direct access from the outside. You need to setup the web sharing access on your router or firewall before someone can access it via the web.
Is the .mov file saved via Quicktime? You would also need to provide link on your page to http://www.apple.com/quicktime so that it may be downloaded by those who don't have it. If it is another format, you'll need a link to whatever format it is.
HTML for putting the video right on the page is usually controled by the EMBED function. That's covered here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/embeddedobjects/_EMBED.html
Otherwise a simple hyperlink to the file will do, once you have an open web sharing port on a static IP or dyndns controled domain.

In a certan web page cannot open videos but sound available

after updating firefox the web page opens the video file dosen't open but sound works
when I open firefox on safe mode every thing works.
I deleted firefox and re installed the same no solution closed all apps did not change

If videos play in Safe Mode, it suggests that one of your extensions is causing the problem. You can review and disable any non-essential extensions here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Any luck? If you want to post a list of your extensions for review, you can copy and paste them from this page:

To send video file with JMF

Hi�
I making an application that it needs to send a video file (of a server to a client). I implemented this using the mechanism of RTP implemented for the JMF. My server sends the archive, that my customer only shows the video for the half and does not appear the bar of control of time in player. And, later that client receives all the data (and she does not show, by the way), the user do not obtain to attend again what it finishes to receive� Somebody could help me in this? Necessary that my customer if holds of similar form to the Youtube. That is, he goes loading and showing how much he has, leaving, the user to manipulate bar of time of player e, also, leaving the user to again attend to the video if thus wanting�

Presumably, you're using the following sample code to create the AVI:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/JpegImagesToMovie.html]
And you're using the following sample code(or something similar) to send the AVI via RTP:
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/VideoTransmit.html]
Regardless, instead of creating a DataSource from a MediaLocator that points to your AVI file, you can just use the DataSource that's generating the AVI files, and make that be the DataSource that's driving your RTP session.

5536 and 5540 can playback avi and .mov video files, but these files codec must be M-JPEG format!!
Please attention: 5536 didn’t playback MP4 or WMV video formats, and also couldn’t reveal these files!!
“Quick Time7 Pro” and ““Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” converting software can support 5536/5540 video format (M-JPEG) to playback, but “QuickTime7 Pro” isn’t free, you have to purchase it, and “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25” is free, but only can use 30 days. Please go to below website to download it and you have to register and login!!
(http://www.canopus.com/products/demos/index.php)
When you download “Canopus ProCoder Demo v1.25”, please modify file name to “ProCoderDemo_1_25.exe”, then this file just can become execution file, after installation you have to check video and audio codec, have a little trouble, I will explain how do set M-JPEG codec!!
When you perform “Canopus ProCoder” software, you will find out “Source”, “Target” and “Convert” selection, please go to “Source” and add which video you want to convert, next please go to “Target” and choose “Add” selection, then choose “QuickTime file” in the basic, after that, you will detect “Target Parameters” on the right, please according to below codec format to set, finally, please go to “Convert” selection to begin converting!!
Video setting:
Width: 320
Height: 240
Frame Rate(fps): 10.000
Interlacing: Non-Interlaced
Aspect Ratio: Video: [4:3], Pixel: [1:1]
Encoder: Apple Photo JPEG or Apple Motion JPEG A
Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
Audio setting:
Channels: Stereo
Sample Rate(kHz): 11.025
Bits / Sample: 16
Encoder: 16-bit Big Endian
Codec options: Click for Codec Properties
By the way, You can select another sample rate parameter on the audio setting, but you can only choose 10.000 frame rate (fps) on the video setting, this value will influence whether can playback after converting video, so this setting is very importantly!!
Please try again!!

Uploading a file to Portal server

Hello all:
First question: I'm creating an HTML page that uploads a file to the server using a form like this:
When user fills the form and sends the file and error is showed:
Application error occurred during request processing.
Details:   Error [com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.server.exceptions.WebServletException:

I think the error is caused by an authotization problem, but I don't know how to solve it.
Second question: I'd like to know where is the default folder in the server where the files are uploaded in that way (HTML form). I don't know how to configure it. Maybe I could change permissions in it to allow Portal users to read/write in it.
Thank all in advance. Regards,
Alejandro Gómez.

Best type of video files to post on iWeb pages?

I am a teacher and I am posting Screencasts that I record of my lessons each day on my website created by iWeb '09. I have been exporting them as either .mov files or .mp4 files (both H.264) and playing them in a Flash "wrapper". I have been using a Flash "wrapper" thinking that more people have the ability to play flash than quicktime. However, what I have noticed on an old Mac Mini that my daughter has is that the H.264 files played within the wrapper tend to hesitate while playing. If I just "drop" the file in an iWeb page, it seems to play without the hesitation (on the old Mac Mini). (By the way...these files are mostly around 50-70 mb in size.) The problem is that most of my students have PC's and it seems that every year there are at least a few that have problems playing the quicktime files (which is why I went the way of the wrapper). Anyone have any advice on the best video for all?

Terry Daniels wrote:
Will an iPhone or iTouch play these files?
Have you looked at the video playback requirements on the specifications page? You will find your answer there.
The older MPEG-4 video codec would work with QuickTime 5, or higher, installed.
In obvious terms this means that a computer (PC) that does not have Quicktime player installed will not play the MPEG-4 file.
If you wanted to go that route you could encode a WMV file for PC users and a MPEG-4 file for Mac users then use a server side script to determine the users' browser and display the appropriate file. This method is beyond the scope of novice iWeb design, however.

How to embed Windows video files in iweb

I uploaded several videos to a web site using iweb for a fortune 500 company only to find out the wmv videos I put in didn't load because iweb uses a quicktime container for all videos dropped on the page. After spending a lot of time on this site (how to link video files, embeding google/youtube video) I finally came across another site that was very help. If you interested here it is:
Home page: http://www.mediacollege.com/
Embedded wmv files: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media/streaming/
Just drop in the html code and change the file names and location.
I'm new to mac and this discussion board has been very helpful. I hope Apple includes a way to embed windows file. There are too many PCs out there to ignore.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I choose to ignore Windows use until I need to fire up my PC. I don't create files for WMP format, either.
You are leaving out some import "steps" when you say "drop in the html code" because this requires post-publishing edits with a plain text editor.
And the code shown is now out of date as Microsoft "change the rules" (again) for ActiveX content.
This page code would generate an ActiveX alert dialog asking the viewer what to do. Many viewers just click "No" and move on.
