Issues embedding video

Hey,
Everytime I open a page and add a new video (from youtube) using 'insert html snippet' the new video works when I publish but the exisitng videos on that page won't so I have to reinstall all of them each time. Also, I'm using Contribute CS3.
Does anyone have a solution or any suggestions?
cheers,

Well, I think I can narrow this to codec and file type. I have been working with videos given to me by my department and using Adobe Media Encoder to try variations. I finally tried a separate .mov video that I had kicking around on my personal server and it worked fine immediately.
My video is .mov with codecs MPEG-4 Video, Linear PCM. InDesign did give me the warning about it not being compatable with Flash. It can't give me a preview and it can't grab a poster image form the frames. It plays fine in Acrobat though. It is a small video: 6MB and at 480x480.
The .mov that I was given by the department is 1024x768 AAC, H.264. and 44.2MB. InDesign gives me no warning on this one and it can even grab a poster image from the frames but in Acrobat I get nothing. Same goes for all the variations I have made in Encoder.
So it seems it may be a file size, type, or codec issue. I do need to figure it out so I can recommend render settings to the team.

Vista and Flash Player issues - no embedded video

Ok,
I've been wrestling with this for a week now. I upgraded from XP to Vista Home Premium 32-bit. After the upgrade, I cannot view embedded videos on any website(except Microsoft's cuz they use Silverlight).
I CAN, however, see videos on YouTube *IF* I change the URL to their Secure site. (HTTPS). I found this workaround in a post. This tells me that Flash Player is working, but somewhere in the Vista install, Vista is blocking non-secure websites from loading/playing embedded videos. I have used Yahoo's news pages as my test, but have had issues with embedded videos on FaceBook, and other websites that regularly post embedded vids, like the TV network sites, etc. I have gone through as many "fixes" as I could find posts on the Web, and none have fixed my problem. I tried downloading and installing Flash Player on Chrome and Firefox, and those didn't work either, so I know that A.) the problem is not the browser, B.) that the problem is not the codecs, as vids run on Youtube's Secure website. That leaves the OS as the culprit. I have gone through the Control Panel, and tried everwhere there that I could find a remote link to Internet security, to no avail. No one at Microsoft is interested in helping me; they just tell me to buy Windows 7. Are there any Vista gurus out there that may be able to help?

Could you try running through the steps outlined in this FAQ? In particular, make sure you delete the two folders specified within the %appdata% directory.
How do I do a clean install of Flash Player?

Issue with TOC overlaying MP4 embedded video in Firefox (Captivate 7 HTML5 output)

Only in Firefox, I am coming across an issue when I have a video embedded on a slide, the overlaying Table of Contents displays but is not clickable. This is both when the video is paused and playing. The TOC comes over the embedded video area on the slide. I have considered it is possibly a z-index issue with Firefox, but really need a workaround.

Why does embedded video cause audio sync issues?

Greetings all,
   I have a question that is perhaps best answered by an Adobe developer or someone who knows the SWF file format and various audio/video standards fairly well. When one drags an FLV file into the library in flash authoring tool, a window appears. If you click "Embed FLV in SWF and play on timeline", an awful message appears, "WARNING: Embedded video is likely to cause audio synchronization issues...". My question is: why would there be any audio synchronization issue? Is this really just a bug/unimplemented feature? Or is there some fundamental shortcoming of current versions of the SWF file format that does not allow for the FLV audio/video signals to be properly encoded in the SWF file? Or is it that the flash player plays SWF and FLV data in fundamentally different ways and that even if the audio/video is perfected sync'd in the SWF file, the fact that it's a SWF file causes flash player to lose sync?
   I'm guessing only a Flash developer could answer this (and probably not just any Flash developer!), so if there are any out there, please spare some wisdom for a poor lost SWF surfer.
   Thanks!

Hi:
Welcome to discussions!
From what I am reading, you are trying to use the audio that was in the original video-right? By that, I mean, you haven't added a voice over or music-just using the speaker's voice on the tape.
If so, you might want to try using something like a Fade Out or Fade In instead of one of the transitions that add or subtract to the length of the video
[Quoted from iMovie Help]
Some transitions (for example, Cross Dissolve and Push) shorten your movie by a few seconds, depending on the speed of the transition. For example, if you add a transition with a speed of 2 seconds, iMovie overlaps 2 seconds from the first clip and 2 seconds from the second clip as it renders the transition. This shortens your movie by a total of 2 seconds.
The Overlap transition freezes the last frame of the clip on its left and superimposes it over the next clip. Fade In/Fade Out blackens the last frames of the clip on the left and the first frames of the following clip.
[End quote]
Or you could try extracting the audio from the movie so that you could edit it and sync it that way.

Embedded VIdeo Play Issue in Firefox

Hi peeps.
My OS is Win7 Home Basic 64-bit. I can't play any embedded video in Firefox, but I can in Chrome and IE. The video screen just goes black with circle loading stopped in motion. The tab isn't frozen or not responsive, simply the video wouldn't load. The only solution I have is uninstall both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player and reinstall both. After that I can play embedded video (like in Youtube, DailyMotion, etc). Even if I close and reopen Firefox, I can still play them.
But whenever I restarted my laptop, I'm back to square one. Unless I reinstall both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player, I can't play any embedded video again in Firefox. I have tried disabling protected mode in Firefox (when I could play the video in Firefox, I have unchecked the Hardware Acceleration-whatever). Already tried Firefox Safe Mode (Shift+Click on Firefox) but same problem. I have tried installing Firefox v24, 27, 28. Adobe Flash Player is the latest version 12.0.0.77.
I don't have any conflicting extensions or plugins. The other plugins I have installed are Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6.70, Google Update 1.3.22.5, Yahoo Application State Plugin 1.0.0.7 (I can say for sure Yahoo plugin isn't the root of this problem since I have experienced this problem way before I have YM installed). The other extensions I have are Greasemonkey 1.15 (same with Yahoo plugin, I have experienced this problem before I added Greasemonkey to Firefox) and IDM C.C. 7.3.68.
My guess is the problem is related with IDM. Iirc, before I have IDM installed, I could play embedded video in Firefox. But it's strange, since my netbook (this Firefox problem is in my laptop with win7 Home Basic) with XP SP3 can play embedded video in Firefox with IDM installed. Actually, I never had any problem regarding playing embedded video in my netbook.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if this helps.
You can use the MSConfig program or the Autoruns utility to see which software and services are getting started (be cautious with disabling services).

If you have software like Advanced SystemCare that might reset some files to older versions to protect these files against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software.

Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.
Dave

Hi Yogidave,
It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
In understanding what you tried:
I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)

After updating to Flash version 11.6.602.171 - can no longer play any embedded videos..and worse

To begin with, I'm running a clean AMD 64 Bit Windows 7 System. Never any problems with any of my video playing scenarios - until now - with this version 11.6.602.171.
After downloading and installing both versions - both for Firefox (other browsers) and IE, none of my browsers can play videos unless they are at their lowest resolution of 240.
So I used the Adobe Flash Uninstaller and ensured that the last vestages of Flash Player were removed - and reinstalled - all to no avail.
Then I downloaded the archived version of 10.3 to see if a previous version would work. But that wouldn't work either. None of my browsers will play videos now and I'm talking:
IE 10
Firefox 19.01
Avant Browser
Google Chrome
Google Chromium
Commodo Dragon
Commodo Ice Dragon
Opera
Waterfox
Pale Moon
None will play the video.
What you get is the video screen but unless you have a 240 option (lowest resolution), all you get is a green screen. You hear the talking/music, but there is no picture and all the green screen does is flash. Here's a JPG of the screen. If you put your cursor anywhere on the progress meter (arrow) it will show you a small image of what's supposed to be playing (see below), but the screen remains green and flashes while playing.
Now here is where it gets interesting. When I completely uninstall Adobe Flash Player and then go to a You Tube embedded video (on any site), there first appears a screen that tells you that you need a plug-in - but then within seconds (without downloading anything), the movie starts playing normally.
I then checked my Firewall (Zone Alarm) - turned it off temporarily - that wasn't the problem. Then checked my latest version of Avast AntiVirus software and temporarily turned it off - that was not the problem either. The videos still won't work and remain green unless you use the lowest resolution.
So this new version 11.6.602.171 has become a nightmare - but I'm afraid it messed up my system big time and I don't know what to do to alleviate this.
Crying HELP!!!!!!!!!!   Is there something I'm overlooking. I'm now screwed - way to go Adobe for releasing such a faulty software product.

Sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player. I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform. If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing. You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.

@mem2013 - The Flash Player update service will not impact Flash Player's performance. This is a separate service that runs for just an instant on your system once an hour (if you have automatic updates enabled.) Changing it from manual to automatic shouldn't make any difference.

Embedding video and audio for internet flipbook

Dear All,
first of all, sorry if it's been asked before but I could not find direct answer.
My company, small translation agency in Poland, plans on to buy InDesign to improve quality of our output documents, but we have one more feature in mind and we don't know if InDesign CS6 supports this.
In a movie http://tv.adobe.com/watch/cs55-design-standard-feature-tour/create-more-compelling-ebooks- with-indesign-cs55/ Terry White presents how to make an eBook with embedded video. We need a solution to create a similar effect, but the final document would be accessible from WWW (eg. http://essentialabsurdities.com/dance/ - there is no video in the example) - we want people to be able to browse content like in a book (flipbook?) and access video and audio (embedded or stored on a serwer along the document) when needed.
Does InDesign support this? What should be the final format of such a document? Interactive PDF? SWF? Everybody says Flash is going to be retired soon (Apple does not support it, Android devices are soon to follow, the same for PCs in the nearest future probably) so we do not want to use this.
Many thanks for your opinions on the issue.
Best wishes,
Michal Kornacki

I have no incoming video for my Jabber account. I was doing some testing for one of my customers who had this issue. Here is what I found. I have a EX90 registered to VCS on a corporate network. I have my Jabber Express client I downloaded and installed. When I call to or from either I don't receive video on Jabber Express but I get audio from the EX90. I get Audio and video on the EX90 from Jabber. What I found when I was troubleshooting is that if you leave the call up for 30 seconds I finally start recieving video on Jabber from the EX90. After testing a few calls this happened every time. I then checked the call settings on both sides during the call. Both endpoints are experiencing 50% or so packet loss until the video started being sent to Jabber and then the packet loss dropped to 0. So I would assume there is something wrong on the Jabber Express end that is causing a 30 second or so delay when the video is being sent through the proxy. Has anyone else had this exact issue?

Embedded video in PDF shows blank

Hi,
I am using Acrobat 9 Pro. I have a PDF and a .mp4 video on a web-server. The mp4 is about 26 Mb in size. If I open the video on the browser (IE) it works.
However when I embed this video in my PDF using a 'Video tool' it plays only the audio and does not show the video. I read somewhere about the file name length. the file name is ps1.mp4.
Can someone please help resolving this.
Thanks in adavance.

Does this only affect one video, or every PDF you open with embedded video content?
If the latter it is probably an issue with your video card. First, I'd try disabling hardware acceleration in Acrobat's preferences > page display, and switching to software mode on preferences > 3D and multimedia > preferred renderer.

Embedding video in an embeded SWF

Hello people. I'm building a site with a flip book component.
The book is a movie and then I load the pages via an XML file. The
pages are SWF files. You can see the book at
http://www.thiez.com/evf/main.htm
Now, If I add a video on a particular page by embedding it in
the flash movie, I will be able to see it when I test that
particular page, but it wont show when I test the whole book. So
basically, my problem is: the video shows ok in the file where it
is embedded but not in the main SWF file that calls the SWF file
containing the video. Any idea will be appreciated.

there sure are a lot of angry peeps on this forum lately.
Hard to tell exactly what you are doing -
allow me to quote you:
"I am importing Mpeg2 into an embeded video in SWF and play
timeline"
not exactly sure what that means - are you importing an mpeg
into flash to the timeline?
you cant import into an embeded video - that sounds like you
already have a video file in your FLA
and are trying to import another video "into" it - cant be
true and must be a typo.
Make it easier for us to help you by explaining in detail
what you are doing.
Also - this is a volunteer based peer to peer forum - it is
not official adobe support - you need to
contact them directly if the issue can not be solved here.

Embedded videos won't play in Safari on iPhone 5 iOS 8.02

All of a sudden I can't play any embedded YouTube videos in safari from my iPhone 5. I think the issue started when I upgraded to iOS 8.02.
I can see the screenshot of the video, and the red and white play button in safari, but it isn't clickable. I can click on the word youtube in the upper right hand corner of the picture and it will launch the YouTube app and then the video will play from the YouTube app, but never from safari anymore.
I've tried closing the safari app, clearing safari history, resetting the iphone, downloaded Google chrome, and even tried to use my RSS reader to view the webpage. They all do the same thing, and none will let me click the play button to watch the embedded video.
Anyone have any ideas? This is driving me crazy! Thanks!

After some messing around, I found out that I can't press the red/white play button on the middle of the picture. For some reason, that isn't clickable anymore. Instead, if I press anywhere on the picture preview except for the red/white play button, then the video will play fine.
I Don't remember having to do that before, but at least I can watch embedded videos again.

How to play the pdf embedded video on firefox

I embed video into pdf quite often, if I want everyone with Acrobat reader version earlier than 9 (6,7,8) can open it, I have to chose "Create legacy multimedia content..." when I embed the video. The problem is, when I make the pdf with Mac, usually I use mp4 video, but a lot of PC's can not open it because they don't have the codec (they have to install it first); but if I embed it with wmv, Mac users can not open it. Also the latest Firefox browser doesn't have the plug-ins for the new pdf, thus can not play the embedded video. Anyone can help? Many thanks...

Hi Philips,
Thanks for your input, but that's not the problem. I've got Flip4Mac already installed, and I have quicktime pro, so no problem for my intel based Mac running WMV under quicktime.
The problem is, I can not play the PDF embedded video WITHIN FIREFOX / SAFARI browser. Just found out that they only have plug-ins for viewing pdf files, not with embedded video.
Thanks anyway.
Adobe has not had a PDFPlugin for Mozilla Products Since OS 9. I have put in a bug about it at least once every year.
There is a PDF Browser Plugin by Shubert of Germany, that will view PDF's. Now Safari will work with the Acrobat PDFViewer Plugin and any other Browsers using Webkit including iCab. You can set SeaMonkey FireFox, Camino, to use the Adobe Reader or even Acrobat rather than a plugin.
It's sad and funny at the same time. Adobe until Acrobat came out was just a Font provider. And Adobe got started with other products on the Mac, because mac users were a little more bold and daring and would try out new technology. Acrobat on PC (Widows/DOS) wasn't accepted for another two years. Then when then got a foot in the door in the Windows world, they all but abandoned the Mac Platform.
They refuse to fix crash and performance issues on Mac for Flash. One reason why Jobs has took the stance he has about Flash on the iPad/iPhone.
But they are not the only ones. Intuit (Quicken) got started on Mac first. Then when they got toe hold in PC world they have been shafting Mac Users every since.

Embedded video not playing in exported podcast of a recorded presentation

I have embedded video (.mov) in my Keynote '08 presentation which plays fine in the presentation and in Quicktime standalone too. But when I'm recording the presentation with the audio voice-over, the embedded video does not appear in the podcast. When I click on "play" presenentation from within Keynote, it DOES play fine. It just doesn't show up in the podcast.
Is it possible to have embedded video in a recorded presentation that's exported as a podcast?

I tried your suggestion. I record the presentation. Save it and then attempt to export it to IDVD. It works all the way till it gets to the end of the first embedded movie. I then get an error message that says my file is corrupt or I am out of memory.
The computer is 2 weeks old so I do not think memory is an issue. The file plays perfectly in Keynote.
Any suggestions??

Why won't YouTube embedded video play from PowerPoint?

I have followed the normal process to embed video in PowerPoint 2010 (32 bit), and playback worked without issues a couple of months ago. Now it does not. I have completed all of the troubleshooting tips, and reinstalled latest FlashPlayer 32-bit, etc. When I go to play the embedded video in PPT, the following message appears:
"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website."
There does not appear to be any settings changed in browser (IE / Chrome), Windows Media Player, or PowerPoint.
Need a solution.

I went back to the embedded video code from YouTube, captured it and pasted it into the "insert video from Web site" and then deleted both "version=3" instances in the code:
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/od8cUvPyvsg?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
That seemed to do the trick!
Many thanks for that help. Not sure what caused prior embedded videos to no longer play - that still is baffling, because I hadn't done anything with the code until today.
Gracias!
