MP4 to .flv

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help with this problem I'm having.
I'm trying to take a MP4 file that, and convert it to a .flv
to use on our Intranet.
When I open Flash Encoder, I select the .MP4 and settings in
Encoder are
Flash 8 Medium Quality (400kbs)
It goes through the process of converting the file, and saves
a .flv.
but when I try and view the .flv I can double click on it and
it opens Flash Player 9 and I get nothing but a white screen. All
the controls in the control menu are shaded out.
If I try and insert the file into dreamweaver and upload
everything to the server, I still get nothing.
So it seems the conversion from MP4 to .flv is not working
correctly.
Before I encode it, if I go into the settings area of Flash
Encoder, and move the timeline I can see the frames of the video.
So I'm assuming the MP4 is not the problem.
Is there something else I need to do?
Thanks.

I discovered this problem when uploading an MP4 encoded out
of Vegas to Blip.tv.
I attempted to encode to FLV manually via flash encoder and
like you, I could see the video in while setting encoding options
but when it was actually encoding it came out white.
To get around this all I had to do was rename the .mp4 to
.mpg before encoding. I hope that helps.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4, converting mp4 to flv - seriously drifting sync

    (Not sure this is the right forum for this - I didn't see a forum for AME but it's being used in conjunction with Flash)
    I've  been trying to convert a 2:54 mp4 to flv, and when I'm done, when  playing the resulting flv it tells me it's now 3:37. Of course the audio  runs out at 2:54 so I have half a minute of silence.
    The mp4 was ripped from DVD using HandBrake.
    I  tried converting using a couple of different presets and keep getting  the same result. I can't seem to locate any sort of "keep video locked  to audio" option in AME CS4.
    Maybe it's a frame rate  issue? I'm not sure how to determine the frame rate of the original, but  the DVD is a burn from the video house that produced the video - US  format. So probably 29.97?
    Help!
    - Bob

    Well that did work. Unfortunately Viddler turned the previously 16 x 9 video into 4 x 3. Not sure why - found a thread there where they suggest this could happen if exported from a Mac. My source was ripped from a DVD (though it may have originated on a Mac).
    So now we're just linking to it on YouTube. Crappy solution but best I'm going to get under the circumstances.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 converting mp4 to FLV

    Hi,
    First up why is there no forum for Adobe Media Encoder CS4?
    My issue is whith converting MP4 to flv.
    The video is added to the que.
    Problem is no video picture is shown, during the convert process.
    When I go into setting and move the play head along the timeline no video is shown.
    The video was generated using Apple's HD iMovie.
    All setting are on default.
    Can someone please help.
    Why is source video has no picture. If I do encode to flv I just get the audion
    Does Adobe have some problem with MP4 created by Apple HD Movie?
    Regards,
    Simon

    well im guessing or atleast hoping you 3 who posted on here got it sorted out by now but thought id post on here to help anybody who has the same problem in the future.i had the same problem and after searching a few different forums i found that mp4's are a bit troublesome when converting them.apparently a good way to get around it is opening the mp4 in quicktimepro  and then exporting it as an flv.i dont know if its that simple but i dont have quicktimepro anyway so i couldnt do it.
    but here is what i did- i uploaded my video to youtube.
    then using     keepvid.com   i downloaded it from youtube as an flv file.(you have the choice of a few different file types)
    now it works in my flash perfectly.
    hope it helps somebody and if anybody knows an easier way (there must be one) please let me know
    cheers

    Hi
    Seriously adobe, I wish I never upgraded to CC, it's been a nightmare.
    I need to convert an MP4 to an .flv for flash pro CC. Encoder CC no longer supports this, which is UNBELIEVABLE....
    I use a third party vendor for video in flash banner advertising and it only supports .flv files.
    Can someone tell me what other programs allow me to so the MP4 to FLV conversion?

    Can I import an MP4 or FLV to Flash and make it an editable .fla file?

    Thanks for helping me.
    It's a vector animation that was made in flash and exported into a swf I believe and then posted on a website and on youtube. I have the mp4 ad the flv that I have converted from the online file using an online tool. I would like to use it as a base for my own video and just switch out some of the frames and characters/backgrounds - is that possible in Premier?

  • Converting MP4 to FLV

    Hi,
    I posted this in the Flash Encoder forum a few days ago, but
    haven't gotten any responses. So I'm hoping someone here might
    know.

    If I try and insert the file into a page within dreamweaver
    and upload everything to the server, I still get nothing.
    So it seems the conversion from MP4 to .flv is not working

    Hmmm...so you encode the mp4 and it generates an flv, right?
    And then in Flash (I'm just thinking out loud here) you create a
    new fla, import -> video and choose the flv and it walks you
    through the process where you select 'streaming from server' and
    the player skin, etc. and then it places the flv instance on stage
    in the fla.
    Then you can fiddle with the stage dimensions, publish it,
    and once you upload the flv, the swf with the flv as a parameter,
    the swf for the player skin, the .js file and the html file to the
    server you should be able to play the video.
    If you've done all that, I guess the next question would be
    whether you've tried it with another format, like an .avi or
    something else.

    Can you convert from MP4 to FLV within the program, Premiere Pro CS6?
    if so, how?

    Export it from Adobe Media Encoder directly or via Premiere

  • How to convert .mp4 or .flv to mp3?

    I've been searching for Mac software that lets me convert mp4 or flv files to mp3, but I can't seem to find any at all. I know of some that work on windows, but since I have a macbook pro I want a program that works on it.
    It doesn't have to be free, I don't mind paying for the software if it actually works...So if anyone knows of anything please let me know. Thanks in advance!

    I use iSquint to convert the .flv to .mp4.
    Then AudioExtract to rip the audio off (in AIFF format).
    I add the new file to iTunes and convert it to .mp3, sometimes.
    It's all freeware, but it'll ask you every time to donate or purchase.
    There are no restrictions on iSquint.
    There is a 3 file limit on AudioExtract. But all you have to do is quit after the first one and open it again.
    Before I had AudioExtract, I'd import the .mp4 into iMovie and put in in a movie file and extract audio that way.

  • Using Captivate to import .mp4 or .flv files

    I am looking for someone with Captivate experience to let me
    know if Captivate can turn my mp4 and flv files into scorm
    compliant objects. Seems like I could import it and export it and
    be ready to go. Is this the case?

    Hi again
    Indeed Captivate is often used to capture screen activity.
    But within Captivate 3 one may click Insert > Flash Video... and
    point at a .FLV file to link to and present.
    The FLV will normally require metadata. You might find the
    link below to be of value.

  • What are the correct Premiere Pro CS4 settings for producing WMV/MP4 to FLV/F4V videos?

    Greetings.
    I have recently purchased CS4 Production Suite.  My task is to convert WMV/MP4 videos to FLV/F4V videos that contain titles, transitions, and credits for streaming from Flash Media Server.
    My test videos are experiencing audio sync issues when using Adobe Media Encoder as the export tool.  When I use Flash Video Export tool using the source WMV/MP4, I do not experience sync issues.
    I can control the WMV/MP4 output settings since we record our own sessions using Windows Media Encoder.  I can also utilize Flash Media Live Encoder to capture the source.
    The video source comes from a video capture card (Osprey) that is connected to an IP based camera(s) which are controlled by video technicians.
    We record from that capture card into WMV format.
    My question is, what are the settings in Premiere to produce FLV/F4V for streaming in 480p quality?
    I am new to video production and gladly appreciate any assistance.
    Regards,
    Shack

    Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
    Caveats: NONE
    Jim,
    Thank you for your response.  I am a total noob at video, but have the requirement to produce recorded video to our FMS servers.
    Here is my situation.  We have classrooms and auditoriums hard wired with IP cameras.  Our video techs can record to DVR and then finalize to DVD (VOB).  We also have a control center that can capture those cameras using Windows Media Encoder to record.
    I have been given CS4 to produce these videos.  Each time that I transcode, the audio gets out of sync.  I am trying to figure out a suitable way to take VOB and WMV files into PP and output to FLV/MP4.
    Appreciate any advice...

  • Convert .mp4 to .flv with centre screen play arrow

    This has to be simple to do, but I can't find instruction to do it. My .mp4 file is 480x270 pixel, and the clip is about 12 seconds long. If any one could help me out. thx

    you can use adobe media encoder to convert your mp4 to an flv.
    to play your flv, add an flvplayback component to your stage, select no skin for your player, assign your player an instance name (eg, flv_pb), create a large button in the center of the player and assign it a name (eg, large_btn) and use:
    large_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playF);
    function playF(e:Event):void{
    flv_pb.source="path/filename of your flv";
    removeChild(large_btn);

  • Converting mp4 to flv with AME - audio is out of sync

    I am trying to convert an .mp4 file to an .flv (cropping it at the same time) using AME. The file crops and converts without error but when I play my .flv file the audio is not in sync.
    The audio is playing slower than the original mp4, but the video speed still matches the source file.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be causing this?
    Here are my settings and operating system:
    Source Settings:
    1920x1080, 15 fps, Progressive, 00;02;20;12
    22050 Hz, Mono
    Output Settings:
    1644x1004, Same as source fps, Progressive
    MPEG Layer III (MP3), 256 kpps, Mono
    CBR, 1 Pass, Target 6977.80 kpps
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    Thanks!

  • Exported mp4 or flv has much smaller frame size than the original

    Not sure if I started the project the wrong way or if I'm doing something wrong when I export.
    My imported file is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo.
    480x360
    When I export it as an flv or mp4 the image is about the size of a postage stamp surrounded by a huge black border.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    I'd rather export and flv.
    Martin
    P.S. I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.

    Thank you Hunt for your reply.
    I was an editor for 30 years (Michael Redbourn) and did some editing on Premiere a few years back for a client, but somebody set up the pre-sets and did the export for me, so as is obvious I know next to nothing about how to do either.
    What is your Sequence Preset? Does it match that Source Footage?
    I didn't see any preset that matched 44,100 hz
    How can I check to see what my sequence preset is?
    In those Export formats, what are the Presets used?
    What are the settings for the Frame Size options?
    In those formats, if you chose, say a DV Preset, and did not do cropping, you would get what you describe.
    I tried several and certainly one of them was a DV preset, and I didn't crop.
    The answers to the above questions should give others something to work with, and likely get you a solution to the issue.
    I'm really just experimenting with a short sequence and to reedit it will be really simple, so if you could tell me which presets and export settings to use, I will redo the project and learn a lot at the same time.
    Original clip is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo 480x360
    I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 (preferable .flv) or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.
    Thanks again,
    Michael

  • Converted mp4 to flv plays really fast

    Hello,
    I converted a 256MB mp4 video to flv using ame.  I lowered the bit rate a little bit as our users are mostly on dsl.  This is for use in a adobe connect session.  Now in adobe media player, the video is greatly speeded up playing in about 5 seconds.
    What can I do?  Thank you for any assistance, Mary

    It turns out this problem only occurs on one Mac computer,
    out of all the 5 machines I'm testing on. Unfortunately, my main
