How to index a large FLV?

I'm sure this is documented many places but I can't find a simple well explained doc that shows how to take a 4 hour FLV archive and index it in such a way so that users can click a link and go directly to a specific time slice in the file. Is this a "playlist"? forgive my ignorance folks.. any help is appreciated.

A "Playlist" usually gives the viewer the choice to choose different video files... but I guess you could use one for "chapters" also.... but the structure would be different.
As for indexing or setting "Chapters" in a large video... here are a couple ideas.
1. Use "cue points" for navigation:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_UsingComponentsAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d1 18a9c65586-7feb.html
Google "Flash cue points" for more info
2. Create a set of buttons that seek to various points in the .flv. But I think you could only use that if you are using NetStream to play back the video.
something like this (AS2)
chapter1_btn.onRelease = function() {
ns.seek(180);
ns.play();
to seek 180 seconds into the video and play the video from that point.
Info on NetStream:

Best of luck on your project!

  • How can I get Firefox to store the larger FLV Files in Cache ?

    I use Cache Viewer Revisited to save cache files & for some reason larger FLV Files won`t store in the FireFox Cache...
    Even under "about cache" Large FLV Files show as 0 in size

    You can try to check if the video is being fully stored by using a stand-alone cache viewer. eg. [http://nirsoft.net/utils/video_cache_view.html VideoCacheView]
    Please note that this is an unknown application. Many security software may flag the site or the software as suspicious. There could be many similar applications.

  • How to rescale correctly a .flv videoclip?

    How to rescale correctly a .flv videoclip?
    I installed the Adobe MasterCollection CS4.
    I rendered a video with 3dsMax2010 at this resolution: 1024x576pixels, progressive scan, pixel aspect ratio 1,0 square.
    I want insert this video on a website, initially small, and after, by clicking the FullScreen button, I want that this become large at maximum resolution...
    I imported the .FLV file in Flash:
    ImportVideo> *.flv > Added SkinBarMenu with FullScreen Button > Replaced the remote address instead of local address: http://www.cavallodario.it/...
    I rescaled the video at 720x405pixels and also the Flash Document to fit it.
    I included the video in the webpage with Dreamweaver, with FullScreen playback properties.
    At this time I ask:
    When I playback the video on the website, it appears at 720x405pixels;
    - When I click on FullScreen button, the video become up-scaled from 720x405px and loose the resolution?
    - Or at FullScreen, I can view it at the original resolution of 1024x576pixels, in the same manner as when it is imported in Flash?
    - Such Flash video behavior, is the same as YouTube videos? (From small, it become hi-res at FullScreen, conserving original dimensions)?
    Thanks in advance!
    Horsepower.

    "...and flash can't increase the resolution of your fullscreen flv beyond its original."
    Yes, but in this example my original resolution is 1024x576px.
    But in Flash application I have imported the video at 1024x576 and after, resized the video and the document to 720x405px.
    - By viewing the video at Fullscreen the video is upscaled from 1024x576px or from 720x405px?

  • Preloading large FLVs inside of a swf

    Hi I have a client that I have developed a trailer for their project. Its a swf and at certain keyframes large videos play, the my listener tells the time line to continue on  its path, and eventually hits a new large video.
    These videos are not playing very well for the client, when they start typically they stutter.
    Client is mad now and I need a solution. I am using actionscript 2.0 . How can I have each flv loadup all the way before it starts playing so it'd be smooth. I was hoping there would be a plugin or something I could buy that would show a loading bar and then have it go.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance, this would be a huge releif if I could get this finished.
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks so much. One more small thing if you have time. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I don't mean to
    monopolize your time.
    Here's the code  I have but my text field isn't displaying. I was able to play with it a bunch and the best thing I could get to happen was a NAN.
    myFlv.play();
    myFlv.stop();
    myFlv.onEnterFrame = function (){
    // display load progress
    tf.text=100*flv.bytesLoaded/bytesTotal+"% Loaded";
    if(myFlv.bytesLoaded>0&&myFlv.bytesLoaded>=myFlv.bytesTotal){
    delete myFlv.onEnterFrame;
    myFlv.play();
    here's a link to the fla  I'm pretty sure I have the text field set up correctly.
    Again. You rock. Thanks!

  • How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs

    How do I move large files from a Windows computer to my MacBook Pro? There are a lot of photos (tiffs, jpgs, some photoshopped files), iTunes library, word docs. Is there a particular type of external hard drive that can be used or am I limited to copying stuff onto z-drive and moving that way?

    If both computers are on the same network, you can share the files from the Windows host using SMB and mount the share on the Mac. Otherwise, the Mac should be able to read (not necessarily write) any storage device formatted in Windows.

    how can I remove large number of photos on my iPhone 4s from iTunes using a PC - Lenovo Think Pad - so that I can reduce the space used on the phone by 50%?

    You don't need iTunes for that. Simply connect the iPhone to the PC where it will be recognized as a camera. You can then select the photos you wish to transfer, transfer them, and delete them.

  • Any ideas how I can view this flv file?

    I have CS3 Flash using Flash Player 9 and Actions Script 3.  I am publishing a progressve loading swf, which has an absolute path to an flv of http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.flv.  The swf file is located here http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.swf, along withn the html, flv, and skin.  When I click the button (configured by an XML file) on my web site to view the file, I get a flickering box.  Other flvs in the XML file are configured the same way and work fine.  See this flickering box at http://www.haleygroup.com/, enter site and go to "et al" page, then click "Basics".  Any ideas how I can view this flv file?  Many, many thanks.

    I just changed the path to a relative path of just "basics.flv" and still have the problem.  See swf at http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.swf.  Thanks.

  • How do I handle large resultsets in CRXI without a performance issue?

    Hello -
    Problem Definition
    I have a performance problem displaying large/huge resultset of data on a crystal report.  The report takes about 4 minutes or more depending on the resultset size.
    How do you handle large resultsets in Crystal Reports without a performance issue?
    Environment
    Crystal Reports XI
    Apache WebSvr 2.X, Jboss 4.2.3, Struts
    Java Reporting Component (JRC),Crystal Report Viewer (CRV)
    Firefox
    DETAILS
    I use the CRXI thick client to build my report (.rpt) and then use it in my webapplication (webapp) under Jboss.
    User specifies the filter criteria to generate a report (date range etc) and submits the request to the webapp.  Webapp  queries the database, gets a "resultset".
    I initialize the JRC and CRV according to all the specifications and finally call the "processHttpRequest" method of Crystal Report Viewer to display the report on browser.
    So.....
    - Request received to generate a report with a filter criteria
    - Query DB to get resultset
    - Initialize JRC and CRV
    - finally display the report by calling
        reportViewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, request.getSession().getServletContext(), null);
    The performance problem is within the last step.  I put logs everywhere and noticed that database query doesnt take too long to return resultset.  Everything processes pretty quickly till I call the processHttpRequest of CRV.  This method just hangs for a long time before displaying the report on browser.
    CRV runs pretty fast when the resultset is smaller, but for large resultset it takes a long long time.
    I do have subreports and use Crystal report formulas on the reports.  Some of them are used for grouping also.  But I dont think Subreports is the real culprit here.  Because I have some other reports that dont have any subreports, and they too get really slow displaying large resultsets.
    Solutions?
    So obviously I need a good solution to this generic problem of "How do you handle large resultsets in Crystal Reports?"
    I have thought of some half baked ideas.
    A) Use external pagination and fetch data only for the current page being displayed.  But for this, CRXI must allow me to create my own buttons (previous, next, last), so I can control the click event and fetch data accordingly.  I tried capturing events by registering event handler "addToolbarCommandEventListener" of CRV.  But my listener gets invoked "after" processHttpRequest method completes, which doesnt help.
    Some how I need to be able to control the UI by adding my own previous page, next page, last page buttons and controlling it's click events. 
    B) Automagically have CRXI use a javascript functionality, to allow browser side page navigation.  So maybe the first time it'll take 5 mins to display the report, but once it's displayed, user can go to any page without sending the request back to server.
    C) Try using Crystal Reports 2008.  I'm open to using this version, but I couldnt figureout if it has any features that can help me do external pagination or anything that can handle large resultsets.
    D) Will using the Crystal Reports Servers like cache server/application server etc help in any way?  I read a little on the Crystal Page Viewer, Interactive Viewer, Part Viewer etc....but I'm not sure if any of these things are going to solve the issue.
    I'd appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction.

    Essentialy the answer is use smaller resultsets or pull from the database directly instead of using resultsets.

  • How to add a large number of keywords to the e-mail filter?

    Hello.
    I would like to know how to add a large number of keywords to a filter.
    The thing I want to accomplish, is it to add around 4000 e-mail addresses to a filter list, which checks the body of incoming e-mails, which get forwarded to me.
    I don't want to outright delete them, but I would love it if it detects that the forwarded message contains one of the e-mail addresses, it would add a tag to the message.
    Is it in any way possible to make a filter like this, which doesn't slow Thunderbird down to ass-crawl speed?
    I tried to copy the whole list into the small filter tab, but It had no discernible effect on my messages, since some of the previously received ones, which I was sure contained the keywords, were not tagged. All it did was make the program super slow and I was forced to delete the filter.

    You can look at creating a exclusion crawl rule:

  • How to send a large file in XI ?

    How to send a large file in XI ?

    hi,
    use a splitting mechanism to convert large files into smaller files and process them as if they where independent.
    You can use the "Recordsets Per Message" parameter in the File Adapter sender comm channel by using File Content Conversion, to create a new message for each 1000,10000,etc records in the source file...this could be a way of splitting.
    If you scenario works ok for small files, maybe you can develop another scenario that runs previous the current one, that only splits files (e.g. File-XI-File) and then puts the output smaller files in the directory that your current scenario monitors.

  • How do I delete large files

    How do I delete large files, so they don't take 12 to 16 hours to delete?

    Don't use the Secure Empty Trash option on items which don't contain sensitive data. If the Trash is always doing it, create two folders with the same name in different locations, drag the files into one, and move the other into the folder which contains the first.

    How can you delete "empty space"? If you mean that you want to delete lines,
    like in Word, so that the text afterwards will go "up the page", then you're
    out of luck. You should do that in the original file, and then re-create the
