MX Pro 2004 Video Problems

Hi Everyone,
I am building a tour interface with Flash MX Professional
2004 which will allow users to view 360 panoramic movies of
different areas. These panoramics were created from sets of digital
photos and stitched together using Canon Photostitch, which is the
software that comes with the camera, and then saved as a Quicktime
file (.mov).
My problem is that when I try to import any of the videos
onto the stage, or into the library, I get an error of "Flash
doesn't recognize the file format of 'said files.mov'. Would you
like to try import via QuickTime?" And if I choose "Yes" then I get
the error: "One of more files were not imported because there were
problems reading them." So, I'm not sure what is causing this
problem. I do, however, know that it isn't just something messed up
with the video importing, as I have recently used Flash to create
an interface for another QuickTime movie, the difference being that
that one was not panoramic, and I was able to import and work with
that .mov file without problems.
Any ideas what might be causing this and how I can fix it
would be greatly appreciated.

'Panoramaic' in QuickTime are known as QTVR movies, and Flash
doesn't
support them at all. Either put them on your site as QTVR
(you can add
hotspots etc), or you'll have to stitch the images together
yourself, and
beg, buy, borrow or build your own viewer in Flash:..

Acrobat 8 Pro swf video problem

I'm embedding video inside a pdf file. I wanted to use swf as a single source video to reduce the overall file size but... every swf conversion I insert in the file plays in a continuous loop! The only way to stop it is to close the entire pdf. The "loop" function in the preferences is NOT checked. Also, the triggers and actions will not apply to swf but work fine with other video formats. The Windows Media Player and QuickTime formats embed and work just fine with all actions and triggers. But now the file is getting bulky with renditions.
What's up with Adobe's own video format going berserk inside an Adobe program?

I need to know how to STOP video embedded in pdf from playing in a continuous loop. The "loop" option is de-selected and it loops anyhow. A little help please? ~Thanks

Premiere Pro CS6 importing/ audio and video problems

I recently recorded gameplay from my xbox, when i open this recording using windows media player it states that the video is 3 hours 30 minutes long, which is correct, when i then import this into premiere pro, premiere pro changes it to be 5 hours and 44 minutes long, when i then play this back it plays in slow motion and audio and video start to desync, i thought it may just be the source editor playing up so i made a clip and put it into the timeline and it still had the same outcome. The speed/duration are still on 100% so im not sure what to do, anyone have any idea as to what this is, or why it is happening?

What are the attributes of your PVR video...
specifically, is it variable frame rate?

HT3964 For the past several months my MacBook Pro has been shutting down. I get horrible video with marks and striations acress the laptop screen and an additional monitor and the weird video problems until the multilingual notice comes up saying to shut

I used two monitors, and several months ago the MacBook Pro started crashing frequently. It seems like it might be overheating. Sometimes the disks seems to race. I leave the computer on most of the time and it sleeps when I am away, but when I come back in the morning it will have colored striations across both screens, and soon the multilingual announcement comes up that I have to press and hold down the power key.
Also, when using a progam like Skype video, the video goes insane frequently, with Skype windows freezing, video freezing, Skype window cutting in half, and eventually the computer crashing.
It seems to be a video problem.
What do I do?

I would take some screen shots of the anomalies and take the MBP to an Apple store genius bar. I you cannot reproduce the display problems, the screen shots will at least give them a start point for an analysis.
Ciao.

Intermittent video problem on Adobe Connect Pro

Hi,
I have this intermittent video problem on the Adobe Connect pro server. The video connent sometime display blank even though it showed playing in the status bar and I can hear the audio part of it. Do someone have similar problem as mine?
Thanks

I've had to "cache" uploaded videos by playing them shortly before the audience will see them. For me, the cache holding time when using Adobe's servers is about 5 minutes.

Diagnosing video problem

Hi all,
I've got a PowerMac G5 2.0 GHz from May, 2004. It has the original ATI Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card. I recently had to replace the logic board (with a working used one). That worked fine for months, but now I'm getting video problems. I'll get flashing vertical stripes of short horizontal bars. Sometimes it seems that if I jiggle the display connector at the computer, the screen settles down for a while, but it is not completely certain that this is cause and effect. I hooked up a TV to the DVI port (using Apple's DVI-Video adaptor) and got the same issues, so it's not the display or the cable. I'm hoping that it's a graphics card problem, and not the "new" logic board. Is there a troubleshooting procedure, short of buying and trying a new graphics card, that would let me narrow down the problem?
Thanks for any help.

What you describe sounds like a failing graphics card. My particular troubleshooting process is to swap in another one to see if it works. It's handy to have a few extra parts. Short of that, you might try downloading ATIccelerator and using it to downclock the card. Downclock both the GPU and memory by 5 to 10%. If it helps, that would give a more clear indication.
http://thomas.perrier.name/
Also, if downclocking helps, it might still be possible to salvage the card. As with virtually everything else, Japamac has a nice tutorial on the subject of card maintenance:
First read his overview:
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/16196A0F-952B-47ED-A9F9-91F7B0E CA431.html
Then read the teardown instructions for your specific card:
http://www.jcsenterprises.com/Japamacs_Page/Blog/C874D84E-96DD-4DFF-9566-7C66BE0 65BB5.html
Applying fresh thermal compound is not an optional step. Maybe wait to see what others have to say about this suggestion before purchasing the compound. The fact that it isn't doing it all of the time leads me to believe that it might not be too late, but I don't know how common it is to bring them back once they start showing problems.
Before anything, I might try reseating the card and not just wiggling it from the outside. Take it out, blow out the dust with some compressed air, and verify that the fan moves freely. Clean the contacts on the card with a pencil eraser. Also verify that the fan is actually working when you put it back in.
There might be something else obvious to try that totally eludes me at the moment. Hopefully, you'll get some better feedback than this. Good luck.

Can I replace an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION with Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5

Hi,
I am trying to help a friend whose graphics card has bust.
The old one was an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION.
I've been looking on ebay and it seems a lot cheaper to get a Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5.
Can I just swap them over? The connectors are not identical according to the photographs.
Thanks.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the really useful information in this thread. It helped me solve a similar problem, which I'll describe here briefly in case it helps someone else.
I have a 2004/5 dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 and an Apple Cinema HD display linked, as I later found out, with the now defunct ADC connector. The display suddenly started to look like that scene in The Matrix, when code falls like rain down the screen, and I worked out I needed to replace my Radeon 9800 pro video card (I discovered the board was blue when I removed a thick layer of dust).
I took japamac's excellent advice and bought a Geforce 6800 Ultra from the linked eBay seller in Hong Kong, who delivered it extremely quickly, along with the cables to plug it into the DVD drive power source and a CD with installation instructions. It was only then that I realised the card had two DVI connectors and my display needed ADC (I hadn't understood the difference).
eBay came to the rescue again with a seller who had a secondhand DVI to ADC adapter, which Apple produced when it phased out ADC about six years ago but no longer sells. It has its own power supply and looks like a large version of the Mac laptop power cables - and has added signifcantly to the pile of spaghetti under my desk.
Installing the Geforce 6800 Ultra is fiddly, and a bit scary if you're not used to delving into the insides of a Mac, but the instructions were clear and illustrated with useful photos. The video cable has four connectors. Two fit into the end of the card, the other two (linked in a Y shape) form a bridge between the DVD/superdrive and its power cable. You have to remove the DVD drive, unplug it, and then plug one of the two Y video card connectors into the DVD power cable and the other into the DVD drive itself. Then you replace the DVD drive, plug the two remaining cable connectors to the video card and ease it into the old card's AGP slot.
Finally, with the G5 reassembled, plug the adapter's DVI connection into the back of the card, plug the Cinema Display ADC cable into the adapter block, plug the adapter's USB cable into the G5 (this enables the the USB ports on the back of the display to work), and power up.
At the time of writing, the display has been up and running for a couple of hours and all seems fine.
Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. If it wasn't for communities like this, it would be virtually impossible to solve problems with old but still serviceable Macs.

Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 Video Update does not work

When I import an MPEG video into Flash MX 2004 Pro, it works
every time except when I try to edit the video and create mulitiple
clips. If I try to create clips, it lets me go through the import
process, right up to when I click Finish. When I click Finish, it
just goes back to the first Import Screen (where it asks whether
you want to import the whole video or edit it first). It does not
import the video at all. This seems like it is an obvious bug. I
have tried installing the Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004
Video Update and that does not help. I'm on a Windows XP machine
with Flash MX 2004 Pro v. 7.2. Thanks in advance for any help.
Kurt

I'm on a Mac and don't had this problem. But I do watch for
video issues on this site and haven't seen this – I might
have missed a few, but most Flash users are on Windows so I think
it would be common if it were something wrong with Flash in
general.
Then again, what do I know? Because the more I'm thinking
about it the more I think I might have had this problem. But I
really can't remember. And sorry to say the solution was to not use
the import function to edit my videos.
You also might want to just see if it is the format of the
file you are importing. Perhaps a different source will work
better? I'm just grasping at straws here.
If you have many of these to do and a budget I suggest
getting a third party tool like Squeeze. Otherwise if you have some
third party editor you might want to use that.
Good luck!

Sound faster than video problem

I just finished a movie in Flash Mx Pro 2004, and whenever i
play the movie, on the eight scene the sound starts moving faster,
and the video stays the same speed. I think the sound jumps ahead
like 10 seconds and then starts going the same speed.
I don't think it's a problem with my computer, it should be
able to handle the movie.

I just did some tests with the movie, and now im sure that
the sound is moving faster, not just ahead by 10 second for the
whole movie.

Mini DVI to VGA Adapter Video Problem

This year at Randolph-Macon College we replaced the Math lab Emac computers with IMac G5 Intel machines. The laboratory has an NEC model MT1050 projector with a manufacturer’s date of August 2002. We can not seem to get rid of ever present scan lines. We can slow them down and speed them up by adjusting resolution and refresh rates, but nothing will remove them. We are connecting the IMac to the projector via the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. It is specifically designed for use with the iMac (Intel Core Duo), and the adapter connects to the Mini-DVI port of the computer and the VGA end of the adapter to an external VGA monitor or projector.
Troubleshooting the problem we have swapped IMac Intel computers with no luck, but we still have to use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter. When we hook the projector to a Intel Mac Book Pro, we have to use a different adapter, but then it works perfectly. In fact, everything we try using other adapters works fine, it’s just when we use the Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter that we experience the video problem.
Has anyone experienced this problem and if so, have you been able to remedy it?
iMac (Intel Core Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I don't have much to suggest, except to ask if you can try with a different mini-DVI to VGA adapter. (i.e. do you have more than one on hand to make sure yours isn't just defective?) Make sure it is firmly seated into the iMac.
I use the same adapter to provide an extended desktop on an old CRT monitor and the display is great.

Mac pro 2009 video

I'm experiencing some weird video problems with my early 2009 Mac Pro. Every once in a while, my Mac is unresposive. When this happens, the screen get these horizontal "bands". They are about 20 - 30 percent of the screen as they travel up. Then the desktop is complete. The Trackpad moves; but I can't click anything. After that, I have to reboot. Video is a NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB. Apple Cinema Display 24". Lion.

Throw the user data on non-system drive, which is where it belongs.
Can't really affect booting. Only your apps of course which load from home account support folders.
And OS X can get along on 20-200GB with most being on the low end until you add lot of .... big programs and multiple versions FCP, CS5 and 6, X-Plane or anything else.
There is an option to verify a TimeMachine drive, not sure how deep it goes .
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
Cutting corners may work, but to rule out everything, a clean Apple OS, then keep that cloned for future, for emergency use only, and then build from there until you have a working OS and an image/clone of it for safety.

Power Mac G4 having video problems -green dots and pixelated lines

Yesterday my Power Mac G4 running OS X (10.5.1) started having unusual video problems. I started to notice green dots on the screen where the mouse pointer had been or where application windows had recently been. The severity of the video symptoms seem to vary - from a cluster of green pixels to slight amount of fuzz in text.
I'm thinking that this is a symptom of a problem with the video card starting to fail but I haven't ruled out the Apple Studio Display either. While the Mac was still under Apple Care support, I did have the video card replaced a few years ago due to symptoms that were much more severe than this.
Should I get a new video card? Could it be the display at fault? How expensive would it be to take it in to the local Apple store for diagnosis/repair?

Video problem with CS4.2

I am having an unusual problem with my cs4 programs, noticed most within PPro and AE. Quite frequently my entire monitor image will momentarily shift a few pixels down and to the right. It will return to its correct alignment within less than a second. Also, when I click on a menu item, the drop down menu will appear correctly for about a second then disappear until I run my cursor over the area where the menu should be. At which point the menu will reappear one line at a time beneath the cursor. When the item appears, I can activate it normally with one click of the mouse. This also happens when I access my title screen, Media Encoder screen (from within PPro), etc. The programs have also started freezing on me more frequently, requiring me to close out using Task Manager; sometimes even requiring a reboot. Otherwise, the programs seem to function fine.
I operate in WinXP Pro and work in standard def with the following hardware (all drivers are up to date):
     Asus p5q3 deluxe motherboard with 4gigs of memory
     ATI Radeon HD 2900xt with 512mb of memory
     Matrox RT.x2
I know just enough about computers to be dangerous, but I'm wondering if this sounds like a video card problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you.

Bob,
You are correct. Once upon a time I had the Canopus DVStorm with Premiere 6.x and it worked great (and a DVRaptor before that). Then came Premiere Pro and the problems that the DVStorm had were insurmountable so I dumped it and got the RTX-100 which was reputed to be about as good as the DVStorm was in the past. Was I disappointed! It just did not work reliably, hangs, BSOD's, unresponsivess and then when PR CS2 came out you effectively had to get the RTX.2, which was paramount to throwing the RTX.100 down the drain. It seemed to me that with every new version of CSx you needed to get a new Matrox card at extravagant prices for what it offered and still had to wait very long for decent drivers to come out. It just wasn't worth the effort anymore. And when you look here at problems that people experience, the common denominator is usually the Matrox card. So, yes, I am glad I got rid of it and found a very useful purpose for the card: a doorstopper, which must have been the intention of the engineers to start out.
About Win7: No, I did not have any doubts at all, but in my case I was lucky enough to have a high level network consultant with all kinds of certificates and an impressive experience to advise me and he juist plain told me: "You DON'T want Vista!!! GET WIN7!!! I have been using it for several RC's and it is a revelation." Now after installing and using it for some time, I can only agree.

Titanium Fatal1ty Pro SPDIF game problem

(Titanium Fatalty Pro SPDIF game problem hi all,
sorry if this issue reported in the past i but i could not get any answer on any relati've posts, the terminology was so complicated
i buy?a new pc with a Titanium Fatalty Pro sound card, i use Vista sp2 x64, the sound card is connected to my external amplifier with SPDIF out in order to get surround sound for my movies and my games and here is my problem
any movies format with surround sound play perfect with out any problem any kind of movie DVD, dvix, mkv?files?etc
but non of the games i play?use the surround system, why is that? is any?kind of special settings needed to be done? how is possible to get surround to movies and not to the games?
thanks you all for your time ?

,Re: Titanium Fatalty Pro SPDIF game problem? this is really coincidence - I just posted on the very same topic 5 minutes ago.
for games just go to the Console Entertainment mode > Encoder > Dolby Digital. Although this is not documented I believe what happens is that the sound card encodes the 6 digital channels onto Dolby Digital mode and transfers this over SPDIF. Kok-Choy actually recommend using the standard analogue cables (and he has a point as you are actually upcoding an existing game signal onto Dolby so that your digital receiver can then decode this down to 6 channels - seems a pretty useless overhead)
for video - I am curious to know what you do - I can either get 96/24 bits on the display of my z5500 with a direct signal but the z5500 receiver then tells me that this signal is only in dolby ProLogic II (and not DD or DTS). As alternati've I use again the encoder and have to select for EACH FILM WHAT IS BEST DOLBY DIGITAL OR DTS. Pls explain what settings you use.
thanks
