Need a solution for flash videos on my site...

Here is the deal. My website www.jonbarron.org has a few
flash videos on it (some of them as long as 30 minutes or so) and
while this website is not purely based on videos or media like that
I am noticing that the videos when you watch them can get very
choppy. I'm assuming this is because they need to be streaming or
something which would require use of a Flash Media Server hosting
soultion. EIther way I'm not sure if I should get a Flash Media
Server Web Host because like I said the video section of the site
is pretty small with only a few videos. I would however like some
input on what everyone thinks is my best solution to the choppy
videos on the website which can be found at...
http://www.jonbarron.org/video/video.php
Should I invest in a Flash Media Server Hosting plan (I don't
think I want to do this because for unlimted connections it's over
1500 each month!) or is there a way to make the videos less choppy
without downsizing them anymore then they already are? I'm a little
confused here when it comes to Flash Video on the web since I'm
rather new to this area...

They work fine for me, but I know what you mean. Don't invest
in a media server just yet...
Try increasing the buffer time on all of the movies. That
should fix any choppiness on the videos on computers that aren't
using a superfast connection.
Let me know if you need help adjusting the buffer. It's
pretty easy, just click on the FLVplayback component and open the
component inspector window. There is a spot for buffer size, make
it anywhere from 3-15-30 seconds, depending on how much you want to
buffer it.

Apple could you please find a solution for flash videos on safari

dear apple,
apple i am really looking forward for looking up a solution for watching flash content on safari .

You are not talking to Apple here, you need to send them feedback via the official channels.

Also, Adobe just announced that they are ceasing development on mobile flash for all devices, so there is no chance Flash will ever come to iOS.
Mobile Flash is dead, it's all about HTML5.

Best export for flash video

I have completed an edit of a 7 minute teaser for a feature film and need to export it to be displayed online in a flash player. The footage is HD 1080i, 29.97fps and edited in the Animation coded. My experience with best exports for flash conversion is very limited so please bare with with.
1) Is it possible to export directly from FCP to a flash file? If yes, would that be a good idea, or should I use third party softwares for better results?
2) Which third party softwares are recommended for flash conversion? And what export compression should I use in FCP for best flash conversion results?
3) Any other tips and tricks to get the best quality for flash video display?
Any help would obviously be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I have quality HD video that I want to export for flash, I compress it with h.264 codec. Then, with the new version of Flash, you can swap out the .mp4 extension for .f4v and your good to go in Flash. Quality looks pretty good at a fraction of the file size.

Compressing for flash video setting

Anyone out there building content for flash video? I have a client who is shooting all their footage on a sony HD cam. All footage comes to me as 1080i60. They have requested all content be converted or embedded into flash at a 400X300 canvas size.
I have tried some differant setting but most comes up somewhat pixilated. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Maybe this is helpful: Flash 8 Pro comes with a Flash 8 Video Encoder. It automatically converts Quicktime files into a .flv flash video file WITH a .swf AND a playback skin.
The cool thing about this is how Flash then plays this back as a "progressive download," therefore less waiting time for it to start playback and smoother playback and very nice quality.
I have a sample of this at size 540x400, larger than I have made in the past with other programs, just to see how it would look. I'm still playing with the dimensions. Thinking of making it smaller, actually; but the quality really holds up, I thought. http://web.mac.com/bfkproductions/HomeOne/PowWowSample.html

HT3395 I am using sony HDR - CX100. Do I need a converter for the videos to work on the imovie? If yes, what converter?

I am using a sony HDR - CX100 camcorder. Do I need a converter for the videos to recorded with my camcorder to work in imovie? If yes, what converter do you recommend?

The guy at the Genius Bar has told you absolute and utter rubbish. It is true that Apple has stopped supporting iWeb, but it definitely DOES NOT mean that your website will stop working any time soon.
They should know that iWeb is an application on your Mac and as long as it is compatible with your OS - it works in Snow Leopard and Lion and will be compatible with the new Mountain Lion out this Summer, then you can still use it to build and maintain websites.
As long as your are not publishing your site to MobileMe, then you are okay - if you are publishing to a local folder and then uploading to another host that is fine and your site will not be going anywhere in a hurry.
You don't need to change software unless you really want to.

Poster for flash video

I inserted a flash video onto a site i am building but it has no poster how do i insert a movie poster on a flash video effectivly

Flash video alone doesn't cut it anymore. There's a growing list of devices/browsers that don't support it.
HTML5 video is the way forward. It has widespread support plus it supports a poster frame image.
<video controls poster="/images/poster-frame.jpg">
   <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
   <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
   <source src="movie.webm" type="video/webm">
   <source src="movie.flv" type="video/flv">

How to create a relative path for Flash video on a CDROM

Hello - I need to distribute a web site to a client on a
cross-platform Hybrid CDROM so that they can edit and make
adjustments. This website also includes 2 flash videos that need to
be included on the CDROM.
My problem is this: I encoded the video in the Flash Encoder
app and brought them into the main Flash app for conversion into
swf files. I also used the media controller parameter to add a
control skin to the movies. I now have 2 swf files associated with
the flv video file, and I understand that all 3 of these must stay
together for the video to work properly. The video plays correctly
along with the controller skin on my Mac however only the
controller shows up but no video on the CDROM. I believe that this
has something to do with absolute vs. relative file paths for the
video flv file to the swf controller file.
I do not know how to change this path - I know "where" to
change it within the controller parameter options box but do not
know what syntax exactly to place here. How do you specify a
relative path here? When I try to do it I get an error saying that
the flv file cannot be found.
I am trying to use the following syntax: /video/welding.flv
where video is the name of the folder and welding is the name of
the file. I have done numerous Google searches on this subject and
stil cannot find an answer, so any help is appreciated.

OK - I assigned the FLVPlayback component the instance name
of videoPlayer to keep it simple. And I copied the above code into
an Actions - Frame on Frame 1. FYI - The name of the video has been
changed from welding to Timet Sponge.
Now I get the following error messages:
**Error** Scene 1, Layer 'Layer 1', Frame 1, Line 1: 1119:
Access of possibly undefined property contentPath through a
reference with static type fl.video:FLVPlayback.
videoPlayer.contentPath = "";

No Audio for Flash Videos in Any Browser

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with Service Pack 1 which is a 64-bit OS.
I can play videos in all browsers (IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Opera) but do not hear any audio that use Flash.
Videos that use Apple's Quicktime work perfectly with audio in all 4 of these browsers!
If I download the Flash video to my hard drive and play it, the audio works fine.
I can play music on my desktop and all other sound works fine.
It is not my hardware; audio works fine.
This is the Flash Player that I have installed:
Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit Version 11.1.102.62
Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin 64-bit Version 11.1.102.63
In the Control Panel – System and Security, there is an icon called “Flash Player 32-bit”. I thought I had installed the 64-bit version. Is this simply misnamed or a clue to the root cause of the problem?
The problem is with Adobe's Flash Player.
Audio was okay when playing a video in any browser.
I recently installed a suggested update, and then no audio!
This has happened several times in the past.
I have no audio until the next update, and then it works.
Next update, it is broken again.
It's the Adobe installation.
My recent attempt to fix this problem:
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 11 ActiveX 64-bit Version 11.1.102.62
Uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin 64-bit Version 11.1.102.63
Downloaded the latest Flash Player from Adobe
Reinstalled the Flash Player
Rebooted
Tried to run videos in IE8. No Audio!
Tried to run videos in Firefox. No Audio!
The solution offered in http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html is poorly organized and poorly written such that it is painful to follow the steps. It is basically a 21-page run-on sentence. Most importantly, it attempts to solve the problem by browser. I don't believe that this is a browser-specific issue.
Does anyone have a solution for this problem that actually works? Lot's of people have offered solutions on forums all over the Internet from the "turn on your speakers" to "edit the registry...". I have not found one solution that works. I have spent hours scouring the Internet and various forums for a solution to this problem. There are thousands of people trying to solve it. What is the solution?

Carl,
This worked for all browsers! It was really easy to do as the instructions were clear and succinct. The files that I downloaded for the installation were:
     install_flash_player_11_active_x_64bit
     install_flash_player_11_plugin_64bit
I referred to the wrong page in error in my original post. I was looking at this page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
The above page led me to download and install the following file:
     install_flashplayer11x64_mssd_aih
Not sure what this file is or if it was part of the problem. Thoughts?
Thank-you so much for resolving this issue for me. Much appreciated!

Creating an offline playlist for flash videos

Hi
I have several flash videos that I want to create a play list for, can I do this? The videos are located on a PC HD. I have 3 files, Player.exe, video.flv and text.txt
Cheers
Eugene

If the text file is something that should be read in programmatically, you'll need actionscript to do this. This is typically contained in a swf file that would be loaded into the player. The swf would then read the text file and load the flv's appropriately.
The player by itself is not a media player like vlc, wmp, etc.

Using variable in function for FLASH video

I have a webpage that uses PHP to pull a variable from a
MySQL database.
I would like to use that variable to tell my flash component
what flash video to play. I cant seem to figure out how to place
the variable in the function call to make it work.
Also...The main page is in the root directory of my site with
all my flash videos in a subfolder. I can't seem to get the videos
to play on my main page unless they are in the same directory. I
even tried to simply 'include' the movie into my existing page and
it doesn't work.
Any idea on either of these issues?
(Is this even the correct forum area for this? I am new to
using FLASH for this stuff)

Thanks for the advice!
Turns out I believe my answer lies in PHP, but I will check
out the LoadVars help in FLASH too!

Best compression for flash videos on my webpages?

does anyone know the best way to convert short video clips so they will work great with flash and have the best quality possible for the web. i know a lot of different ways to convert them for the web, but i am having a hard time converting them to high, high quality for flash. can anyone please help?

you are talking about converting video, like quicktime movies, to flash right? if so, utodesk Cleaner converts abotu anythign to .flv or .swf. If you are trying to convert a worse format to flash, which is already a lower quality format (which is why it is used for web), then i'm not sure why you would.

Single screen for flash videos

I have a guitar tutorial on my website. I have lots of 1 minute flash videos that can be viewed. At the moment I use javascript to open a new browser to view each video...... this means that there are different screens (video players) for each video. How do I use 1 single video player to play all the flash videos? so when I click a playlist the video shows in the same player? I m not sure if this is understandable without an example. I just want 1 video player on my page and a link or playlist to play the videos in the same player.... sorry if this doesnt make sense!!!!!
thank you

Need a solution for integration BPM and UCM 11.1.1.4?

Hi all,
Currently, I am using BPM & SOA 11.1.1.4.
Could somebody advise me a solution for integration BPM and UCM ?
I heard somebody said that need to wait to BPM 11G patch set 5 (11.1.1.6) version, which have basic BPM and UCM integration and haven't to using external API like RIDC or CIS.
Thanks & Regards.
Ming Nguyen.

Do not use prebuilt binaries, but compile the package from source with the current libudev.
sha256sums=(SKIP)
source=("$pkgname::git+https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit.git#tag=nw-v$pkgver")
to build it in the PKGBUILD, use nw-gyp i guess.

Need a solution for my problem. My stuff seems to be gone.

Hi.
I have an annoying problem which I solution for. When I started my laptop and logged in on my account, (there are two, my account's the administrator) everything on my desktop seemed to be deleted. But when i looked in C:/ it was still there, all the foto's
music and stuff. Before the problem, i had a background for my desktop and many shortcuts. Now i dont have any shortcut and when i go to library's, it says that the folder is empty. But when i go to -DELL is my account- C:/Users/DELL/pictures, every picture
seems to be there. What's also weird is that when i log on to the other account which isn't an administrator and which i don't use that often, nothing has changed.
PS: I have a windows 7 laptop
Please help
(sorry for bad english)

Wahh Wahh stfu I never asked anyone to my work for
me. All i asked for is help. If you read your first post and honestly consider it to be a reasonable request for help, rather than a lazy twat whining to have his work done for him, then you need even more help in basic communication than you do in computer science.
Apparently the people
that fill this board are just too good to help or put
anyone in the right direction to help.And yet, thousands of people get lots of very good help here. So is it just random whim, or do the people who get help do something different than knobgobblers like you?
