How do I embed mp4 video in Captivate 7

I am publishing in SWF. The video appears when played from my PC (where the video is originally stored), but end users get a scrolling wheel and never connect to video. Any ideas?

OK. Then the two most likely reasons for the failure are:
1. You need all end users to configure the LAN folder where this content resides as a trusted location in their Flash Global Security settings. Details about how to do that are found here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/how-to-set-up-flash-global -security
In practice though, this is not likely to be viable since most end-users won't want to do this. You're better off using a web or intranet server to distribute this type of content because then Flash security is not an issue.
2. Your LAN server administrator may not be allowing your particular format of video to be served across the network. You should check to find out if this is the case. You can also check by trying to navigate directly to the folder where the video is located on the server and try to play it outside of Captivate. If you can reach it and play it, the server permissions are not likely to be the issue. See number 1 above.

How do I get mp4 videos to play in Dropbox on iPad2?

Dropbox and converting video files is new stuff for me, so this may be something simple I am missing. I converted 3gp videos to mp4 videos and copied them into my Dropbox on my PC. As expected, the videos showed up in my Dropbox on my iPad2. When I went to play the mp4 videos on the iPad, I got the same message as I did with the 3gp videos--"enable flash". Obviously, something is wrong. How do I get these mp4 files to play?
The mp4 videos also had a narrower frame, making the people in the video look skinny. Is that typical when you convert the 3gp file to mp4?
Thanks for your help and support.

How to import a .mp4 video into Flash?

I have not been able to import an .mp4 video into flash 8.
The video simply doesn't show up in the import box
when I go through file - import. Is there a way to get flash
to recognize the .mp4 format? Do I have to convert the video to
another format? If so, how would I do that?

You can only import what's on your import file format type
list.
Which is no mp4 for flash 8.
For video editing, google... there are countless solutions,
from super

any freeware

How do I transfer MP4 videos from Macbook to iPad2

(I am very frustrated at this point, so please forgive me if my wording sounds like I am pulling out my hair.)
I want to put some MP4 videos on the iPad2. They are currently on my Macbook Pro.
I have attached the iPad2 to the Macbook, and iTunes opened up. It started syncing the iPad to the Macbook. I told it to stop. It looks like a bunch of stuff on my iPad may or may not be on the Macbook now, but I'm afraid to delete it from the Macbook out of fear that it will delete them from the iPad as well.
But I just want to put the MP4 video files on the iPad, so that I can run them from the Movies app. I believe I can only do this in iTunes, but it looks like easily transferring files from the laptop to another device seems to be a thing of the past.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How can I embed a video with absolute path into a PDF

I'm having some difficulties in embedding a video into a pdf; I followed the instructions to embed it properly, but the path points to my personal computer , so that the video will be available only on the computer I used to embed the document.
Any suggestion? Can I modify the path directly? The PDF is supposed to be linked to another interactive PDF and to work both online and offline.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. I tested the file on other computers, though, and it doesn't open the video on any computer but mine (mine: the one I used to embed the video).
Am I doing something wrong? I'm using Acrobat X and the procedure I'm following is: Multimedia/Add Video/Choose file
I searched for manuals online and I saw that some of them were checking the box "embed file", but I don't have that choice..
Maybe I'm supposed to use another version of acrobat?

[SOLVED] How to Crop an MP4 Video via Command-line?

I have ffmpeg, mpg123, and mencoder. Does anyone know of a way I could use any of those to crop an mp4 video via command-line? I am trying to take off the black space above and below a video. Thanks in advance!
Last edited by tony5429 (2009-04-12 00:12:57)

I don't think it's possible to crop without re-encoding, but you can crop from the command line with ffmpeg and mencoder. Not sure about mpg123 - I think that's for playing audio but I could be wrong there.
Anyway, with ffmpeg you can do cropping by using -croptop, -cropbottom, -cropleft, and -cropright. So if you wanted to crop 16 pixels off of the top and the bottom, your command line would look something like this:
ffmpeg -i <input file> -croptop 16 -cropbottom 16 <video encoding options> <audio encoding options> <output file>
With mencoder you use the "crop" video filter, like this:
mencoder <input file> -o <output file> -vf crop=320:208:0:16 <other options>
where the "320:208:0:16" means that the resulting picture is 320 pixels wide, 208 pixels high, and the 0:16 is the x,y position of the cropped area.
These command lines are just really very basic examples - ffmpeg and mencoder have a LOT of options. Way too many to explain here. If you don't believe me, just try reading through the mencoder man page sometime. (There's an online version of it at: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/mplayer.1.html)
Hope this helps!!

How to embed F4V video from Captivate 5 on a Website?

We are looking to embed an F4V video generated from Captivate 5 on our website. Are there any example code snippets or steps for loading the video embedded in a new browser window? If a launcher is needed, does Adobe have one?
Thanks!
Amanda

Hi Amanda
I believe in order to do this you will also need to acquire a presentation mechanism such as FlowPlayer.

How can I disable .mp4 videos from playing automatically on Yahoo News? (and elsewhere)

I posted a similar question last week about disabling html5 videos and that seems to have worked. But I notice that when I look at the Yahoo News main page, some videos (thumbnails) are playing automatically as I'm scrolling up and down the page. I find that annoying, distracting, and is probably consuming data on my limited plan.
I see other questions posted about .mp4, but those are all how to PLAY rather than NOT play videos.
Any help would be appreciated.

Failure to embed Mp4 video [From hard disk and host]

Hi guys,
Im Terra - new here and learning DW even more everyday...
But I've come stuck the last few hours, so I could do with a little assitance, thanks in advance...
I've been trying to insert an mp4 file into a div; which is successful. But when I try to preview play it in DW, I get the error code: "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type. DW looks both in the "Config/plugins" folder, and the plugins folder of each of your browsers." ...When I also try and preview in FF, inside the div, it says "need additional plugins to play" so I continue and let FF look for plugins, FF finds none.
What I ideally like to do, is host the video file from photobucket. Now, I can do this with a simple embed code, but when played from a browser it's played in the default photobucket player which is bundled with a watermark and offering up relative videos at the end, which I would prefer not to see.
Cheers
TerraPin.

How can I make mp4 videos play in Firefox?

YouTube works fine. Other websites play videos, no problem.
But then I'll go to a website and see a message that the video is either corrupt or is not supported.
When I search for how to play mp4 in Firefox I end up at this site:
http://www.jwplayer.com/blog/the-state-of-html5-firefox-now-supports-mp4/
With the huge headline Firefox Now Supports MP4.
No, it ****ing doesn't!
A bit frustrated, because everywhere I look for help on this, I either come across pages saying it should work, Firefox supports mp4 etc, OR forums where it's webmakers asking the question and then the solution is something wrong in their coding - which doesn't help me, the lonely end user.
When I go to this suggested test site: http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4
I get the error message: Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.
No, it's not. I can download it and play it on WinAmp.
When I go to this suggested test site: http://www.html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/
I get the error: No video with supported format and MIME type found.
Huh? Again, I can download and play it fine.
But Firefox won't play it.
Soooooo
Is there a fix in the wind?
Is there something I can tweak or change to make Firefox recognize and play this stuff?
Is there a plugin/extension/addon that I need to download to play mp4?
If this is a known problem that is going to be fixed eventually, is there something I can do as a substitute (ie a plugin for now)?
Because it seems like the only alternative is to abandon Firefox and start using Chrome, which has no problem with the above-mentioned videos.

I have win7 home, firefox 35.0.1. Java but no other add-on/extension that matters.
And it works, both your links.
Try running firefox in safe mode and see if it works

How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
Please any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
NKC

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.
