Newbie - troubleshoot flash video

HI All
Flash is not my normal area so I apologise upfront if I don't
use the correct terminology.
Using Flash Professional 8 I want to convert movie files such
as .avi into a flash video file to be viewed online. When I do this
it outputs the audio but with no visuals. the process I go through
to create this is as follows:
1. in flash select File > New > Flash Document
2. select File > Import > Import Video
3. I then select the video source by browsing my computer and
select next
4. I select progressive download from a webserver and select
next
5. I select next with following settings identified:
Video encoded for playback with flash player 8
video codec: On2 VP6
Video data rate: 150kbps
Audio codec: MPEG Layer III (MP3)
Audio data rate: 32kbps (mono)
6. I select an external skin and then next
and then select finish.
after it is finished and I preview it I do not see the video
I just get the audio. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks....Doug

You could, of course, try to overlay the video (with titles
stripped)
with Flash made title texts, but I would advise against this.
Scaling bitmaps (and a video is nothing more than a series of
bitmaps)
is never a good idea, so work with footage that has the final
resolution
so that no scaling is necessary.
Adding the titles to it would be easy with Adobe
AfterEffects.
Then, convert the final video into an FLV file and use AS to
make it
play. The help file is really, well, helpful in this area
(FLV playback).

Just put the logo into the video, but only in the first
frame. In Flash
you pause the video playback right there. Easy, but maybe not
so easy
for beginners. Take a look at Lee's great video tutorials:

Newbie needs flash video advice please

I'm creating my first flash video and I have a couple of
questions.
We filmed an interview with some people which we'd like to
put on both a
DVD and on the web. I've edited the film in iMovie as that's
all I have
available and added some title screens between clips.
I have no problem exporting the movie and saving it as a .flv
file for
the web version. However as I also want to reduce the
dimensions of the
movie to be only about 320px wide and when I do so, the title
font looks
jaggedy and quite rubbish, because it's been shrunk.
1. Is there a way in flash that I could replace these titles
so that
this doesn't happen?
2. On a slightly different note, I'd like to be able to
display the
company logo in the main video area whilst the movie is not
playing.
I.e. Before the user presses play and when they press stop.
I'm new to
flash as a whole, so am not sure if this is possible or how I
can do it.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
thanks

Newbie to flash video streaming

Hi, I have a website that would like to stream videos, similar to how youtube does it, but for training purposes. I was wondering what software is most widely used to achieve this? Do you have to have a seperate server where the files reside? Does one have to build all the software to convert, store on the disk, etc.? How much is out there?
In case it's necessary to tell you about my environment, we're using Java with the Spring Framework.
Thanks

I suspect they might be redirecting to two different web pages - i mean serving two different web pages bases on from where request is coming from. Now if you want to know how do they do it - might not be scope of this forum per se - but let me see if i can get more info on that.

Newbie asks about embeding flash video in simple HTML

Big newbie here. Appreciate any help. Just point me to an appropriate forum.
I was using DivX but, I wanted to try Flash.
I am NOT using any formal publishing software - just simple HTML I'm using <object> and <embed> tags to display a flash video.
Everything seems OK but, I want controls (play, pause, volume, etc) for the player and I want to display an image when the video isn't playing.
This stuff is common on other web sites so I know it's possible. But, I can't seem to do this with parameters. What am I missing?
Thanks!!!

Flash Video Newbie Question

loop="false" quality="high"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="240"
width="360"></object>
The video works but there's no play button (works only with right click and play). Does adobe flash have play/control buttons?
Please advice me..

are your trying to display a swf only or a video (flv)?
if an flv, you can get flash to display controls by using an flvplayback component. if a swf, you'll need to add your own buttons to play and stop your swf.
in either case, that's not complete embedding code. use the html file published by flash.

Newb - adjusting quality bitrate for my flash video ...?

I just converted a WMV to flash video .flv through the wizard in Flash CS3 Pro.
It converted it OK, but made quite a large file.
Is it possible to produce a file of lower size and quality. Is there a bit-rate setting somewhere?
(We have some people outside the US in developing countries who don't have such a good connection. Whats about the lowest you would go in terms of quality / bitrate?)

If you have Adobe Media Encoder that may have come with Flash Professional CS3, you can use that to create multiple bitrate versions of your videos. But, generally, there can be lots of possible solutions here. Your best bet, hoesntly, is to search for "encoding flash flv video" or something like that in google, and reading various pages that way. You're certain to find much more qualified hits & results versus posting in a forum.
You want to also be aware of if you can only support 1 single bitrate version of your video...or if you will have a way to provide multiple versions of your video, as in:
~200-400 kbps bitrate for slow connections
700 kbps for medium connections
~1,000 kbps - 1,5000 for faster connections
But providing this capability requires that - in a simple way - you provide your users with multiple buttons to load the video (which is not ideal). Beyond this, you can have somebody program in some bandwidth detection to determine which quality to load...or in the most sophistacted way, you need to use streaming video with a streaming media server.

How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?

Starting with Flash Player 11.3, a protected mode was added as a new security enhancement for Firefox 4.0 and greater on Windows Vista and higher. This security enhancement is designed to limit the impact of attacks launched from malicious Flash content (SWF files). For additional details on this feature, please see Inside Flash Player Protected Mode for Firefox
After reviewing this FAQ, we'd appreciate if you would take a minute to let us know if it helped. There is a link to a two question survey at the bottom of the page.
While we believe this feature is fully tested and reliable, if you encounter issues with Firefox we recommend the following troubleshooting steps.
Problem: Flash content does not appear, YouTube display errors such as "An error occurred. Please try again later.", or Flash video will not function properly.
Solution: If RealPlayer is installed on your system, please disable the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.
Launch RealPlayer
Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper left corner of the window and choose Preferences.
Choose Download & Recording from the left hand panel
Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browsers"
Click OK and close RealPlayer
Restart Firefox
If you are viewing this page in Firefox and Flash Player is not working, please click here for an HTML5 version of this video: YouTube HTML5 HD Link
Problem: RealPlayer is not installed, Flash Player crashes in Firefox
Solution:
Troubleshoot Extensions and Add-Ons by launching Firefox in Safe Mode
1. Exit Firefox
2. Click Start > Run
3. Type the following then press [Enter]:
firefox.exe -p
4. Click Continue in Safe Mode
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem
If the problem does not occur in safe mode, please try to isolate it down to an individual plug-in.
1. Exit Firefox
2. Re-launch Firefox
3. Click Firefox > Add-Ons > Extensions
4. Click Disable on all of your extensions
5. Attempt to reproduce the problem, while enabling each extension until you can reproduce the issue
If the issue persists in Safe-Mode, please continue with the steps below:
Some users have indicated that random crashing stops when clearing their Firefox profile. This step will allow you to temporarily test with a clean set of Firefox preferences, without losing your preferences.
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [Enter]: firefox.exe -p
Click Create Profile
Click Next
In the Enter new profile name dialog, type "Test"
Click Finish
Select Test and click Start Firefox
Use Firefox as normal. If the problem goes away, clearing your Firefox preferences, or migrating the important settings (bookmarks, etc) to a clean Profile may be a good permanent solution.
If the problem persists, switch back to your old profile by doing the following:
Exit Firefox
Click Start > Run
Type the following then press [enter]:firefox.exe –p
Choose your old account (typically "default")
Click Start Firefox
Solution: Try a clean Windows profile (You must be an Administrator to complete this step. If your user account is not an admin type, skip to the next section for instructions on reporting a bug.) Creating a new Windows user will rule out any account-specific preferences that may be enabled on your system.
Create a user account in Vista
Create a user account in Windows 7
Use Flash Player normally. If the problem goes away, this indicates a compatibility problem, either with software you have installed or with preferences set on your account.
Reporting a bug:
Please file bugs at bugbase.adobe.com.
Choose "Adobe Flash Player" as the product
Choose "Browser Integration" as the product area
Please provide as much information as possible with what you were doing before the crash and an exact URL where the crash occurred.
If available, please attach your Firefox crash logs to the bug using the Attachments field.
Show hidden files and folders. For more details, see the instructions for the operating system that you use: Vista and Windows 7.
Crash logs are located at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports\
Logs will be located in either the pending or submitted folder, depending on whether or not you submitted the crash report to Mozilla.
Last resort
Finally, if these problems are blocking you from using Flash Player we recommend, as a last resort, you either revert back to Flash Player 11.2 or temporarily disable Protected Mode. We strongly recommend that Protected Mode is manually enabled once this issue is resolved.
To revert to a previous version of Flash Player, please see this FAQ: How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?
To disable Protected Mode, add the following line to your mms.cfg file located in:
Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash
Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash
ProtectedMode=0
If the mms.cfg file does not exist, create one using any standard text editor (e.g.. notepad)
Depending on your operating system, you might need to first save the mms.cfg file to a writable location (such as your documents or desktop folder) and then copy the file into the destination folder using Windows Explorer.
To re-enable Protected Mode, simply remove the line from the mms.cfg file.
Hopefully this FAQ helped you. Please let us know by taking a minute to fill out this simple survey.

Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

When I try to play a flash video (like youtube) i have to click a flash button several times before it works. Why do flash videos not recogonize any clicks without several tries first?

When I try to go to a flash video, the video player never seems to recognize my mouse clicks without several tries.
It's hard to explain but if I'm at a youtube video and i place my cursor over the button that lets you skip around the video, the cursor will alternate being a cursor (like its not recognized) and a hand like its supposed to. It's sort of keeps flickering between the two if I move the mouse around on that little skip button.
I tried uninstalling firefox but it didn't make a difference. I noticed it after updating to the newer firefoxe updates. This does not happen under IE.
thank you for your help.

'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''

Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Problem with Flash video in webpage

I've encoded a number of videos in the FLV format(using both
Flash Video encoder and Quicktime), using standard preset settings,
inserted in webpage using dreamweaver standard - Insert Media -
Flash Video. When I try to play the videos, online or testing in
browser, the video does not play the whole way through. It'll play
15 sec into the video and then stop, although it seems to have some
of the rest of the video if you play around with the controller.
I've looked on the Flash encoding forum (other people have the same
problem) and looked on the site for more info but cannot find
any.

Have you checked to see if the FLV is the same size on the
server as your
local copy?

Embedded Flash videos don't work

Since updating Firefox to 36, embedded Flash videos don't work. HTML5 and Flash videos on YouTube work fine. I have Click-To-Play enabled (disabling it didn't help too), but instead of a grey area with the message I just see a black area where the video is supposed to be. Does anyone else have this problem?

Flash videos don't work with PepperFlash disabled (but with system plugin enabled) on Chrome!

Hello everyone,
Basically, Google Chrome lags a lot when I use PepperFlash and so I have heard that disabling it and using the system flash will have better performance. I have done this but when I disable PepperFlash, the flash videos don't work as it says flash player has crashed. Also, I would like to resolve the lag and bad performance with flash videos on chrome because the video playback on Internet Explorer is a lot better than Chrome(Never thought I would have to say that) atm. A possible solution might be to install 32-Bit Chrome instead
Summary:
Flash videos lag(most likely due to PepperFlash being used according to other people)
When PepperFlash is disabled, the system flash plugin does not work in chrome as it apparently crashes every time.
I would like help on how to resolve the bad performance and be able to use the system flash plugin to have no lag on videos and livestreams.
Thanks,
Talha

Firefox crashes as soon as Flash video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure"

I am unable to use Youtube or view Flash video on any sites.
Firefox crashes/quits as soon as a video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure".
I have uninstalled Flash, downloaded a fresh version and installed, but no joy.
I am using OS X 10.6.6.
This is what I have tried so far;
1. Repaired Permissions.
2. Restarted with external drive and run Disk repair.
3. Restarted with external drive and run DiskWarrior.
4. Completely uninstalled Flash plugin. Robooted. Reinstalled Flash plugin. Rebooted.
5. I even installed an earlier version of the plugin to see if there was some incompatibility with the latest version.
6. Created a new user login and tried from there. Same problem.
Any ideas?

You have what is necessary for Flash Player to be working. Firefox had some issues last year but it was after loading a video or the website. I had not heard of it lately and even last year don't recall it happening on the Macs.
What is happening with yours sounds like a direct conflict with some addon/extension.
Here is the link from Firefox describing what happened last year. You might want to see if there is anything more current.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/The%20Adobe%20Flash%20plugin%20has%20crashed?s=Firefo x+crashing+browser&as=s
I'll get the Mac troubleshooting guide in a minute and post it also.
Any adblock or popup blocker software would cause this also.

Problems with Flash video streaming in any Browser (Windows 8.1)

Hello.
Since maybe the last Chrome update (to version 42.0.2311.90 m - I tried both 32 and 64 bits versions) or some Windows 8.1 updates (I don't know for sure), flash videos don't even start to buffer - they only play after the full content is downloaded (or loaded in the site's player) . So, If I try to watch a video from a Flash Player based interface (like Dailymotion, or Vimeo), I have no streaming, and I have to wait a long time, watching a "1%" or a load wheel until the full content is available to watch.
This is happening with all browsers, not only Chrome (IE and Firefox too). I tried to update flash player (first, version 17,0,0,169 and then tried the beta, the one released April 14, 2015). No difference at all. So, I think this might be a problem with the flash player itself, or with some Windows settings.
So, lets go to the facts:
- That happened suddenly for no apparent reason - one day it was working, and on the other day it wasn't;
- I have the latest versions of all browsers I use (Chrome, IE and Firefox);
- My Flash Player version is, currently, the latest version;
- I tried old Flash Player versions. didn't work;
- This is not happening with HTML5 video players, like Youtube, so i think it's not a codec problem;
- I have the latest nVidia graphics driver. And it was happening even before I update the driver (I have a GeForce GTX 770);
- I tried disabling the hardware acceleration on Flash settings, nothing happened;
- I use default Windows Firewall and Defender. Tried to disable firewall, nothing happened;
- I had searched all over the internet for the answer, but I can't find it. I already did all what the troubleshoot pages from Adobe said to do;
- My internet connection is fine. It's a fast connection, and It's on wireless. I have several PCs connected to this network and flash videos work fine with them, only in this specific machine isn't;
- I tried uninstall flash player and install again several times, with several different versions. Didn't work;
- Tried disable different versions of flash player on Chrome too, nothing happened.
The thing is, I can imagine that this might not be only a flash player problem, but since it's the only plugin problem I have, I thought that you might have the answer.
Thank you.

Please work through the video troubleshooting guide.

Flash (video) results in kernel panic/unresponsive UI

I have a MacBook 4,1. Watching flash video (it is neither site nor browser specific) sometimes results in a kernel panic with associated message, and everything stops responding. Most of the time the screen instead freezes but the sound continues to play. I am able to move the mouse around, but not click on anything. No keyboard shortcuts work, though the caps lock light will go on/off.
One of these situations always presents itself within 30 minutes (of continuous, or very nearly continuous watching). I am yet to see the problem occur in any other situation. I have tried a full uninstall and reinstall of flash to to avail. About 2 months ago, the stock 2GB RAM was swapped our for 4GB. The Apple Hardware Test (inc. the more thorough diagnostic) reported no problems, though I can't find the original 2GB to compare to. I have Windows 7 installed under bootcamp and very rarely get BSODs or complete OS locks when using it.
To rule out overheating, the fan was forced to a constant ~6200RPM. The highest temp was on the CPU, which was still always below 62 Celsius (mostly in the high 50s), and the crash/lock occurred as before.
Any suggestions as to the cause? Or further troubleshooting techniques? Either would be greatly appreciated!
Kernel panic logs are only given when I actually get the KP message. Here is the most recent log:

I have a MacBook 4,1. Watching flash video (it is neither site nor browser specific) sometimes results in a kernel panic with associated message, and everything stops responding. Most of the time the screen instead freezes but the sound continues to play. I am able to move the mouse around, but not click on anything. No keyboard shortcuts work, though the caps lock light will go on/off.
One of these situations always presents itself within 30 minutes (of continuous, or very nearly continuous watching). I am yet to see the problem occur in any other situation. I have tried a full uninstall and reinstall of flash to to avail. About 2 months ago, the stock 2GB RAM was swapped our for 4GB. The Apple Hardware Test (inc. the more thorough diagnostic) reported no problems, though I can't find the original 2GB to compare to. I have Windows 7 installed under bootcamp and very rarely get BSODs or complete OS locks when using it.
To rule out overheating, the fan was forced to a constant ~6200RPM. The highest temp was on the CPU, which was still always below 62 Celsius (mostly in the high 50s), and the crash/lock occurred as before.
Any suggestions as to the cause? Or further troubleshooting techniques? Either would be greatly appreciated!
Kernel panic logs are only given when I actually get the KP message. Here is the most recent log:

Flash Video problem on one particular website.

I am trying to play Progressive Download video on a website.
I do this
at least 20 times a month .. no issues. This one site will
not show up and
I have redone the page approx. 20 times with no results in
any browser.
The page is in my root .. the FLV is in a folder called video
.. the script
is in the Scripts folder. The ProgressiveFLV and skin swfs
are in the main
folder.
I use an identical configuration on other sites on the same
server with no
problem. It tests perfectly in localhost. But nothing shows
up on the
server.
and YES .. I DID FTP the scripts folder. I solve this problem
for people
every day of the week .. but I can't get this site to work.
Any thoughts?
http://www.otglifestyle.com/video1.html
On the last attempt, it actually crashed Firefox .. anyone
know what is
going on here?
Thanks!
