Placing a video from URL - Youtube

Youtube converts videos to MPEG-4 H.264 format which is suppose to be supported for the placing a video from url tool in InDesign CS5.5.
Does anyone knwo why this does not work? I nwo that it can be done by creating a flash player, but not interested in the extra work.

You cannot link directly to the video stream on YouTube - the URLs point to an HTML fragment which in turn loads an instance of their player widget, so InDesign doesn't see it as a valid rich media format.
The only legal way to play YT-hosted videos within a non-HTML document is to implement their public API within your own Flash project, and embed the SWF as a rich media object. Joel Geraci wrote a SWF wrapper for use in PDF files which does this.

"Place video from URL" not working in InDesign CC 9.1

Has anyone come across why an H.264 encoded mp4 file won't embed into InDesign CC, but will in CS6? Last week I upgraded from Indesign 9.0 (where it was working) to Indesign 9.1 (where it no longer works). Specifically, I'm using the "Place video from URL" option.
* I've tried several different servers to host the mp4 file (the servers do work). The mp4 URLs on each server do work in a browser, but not in Indesign CC.
* I've tried placing the mp4 URL in CS6 and that works fine.
* I've tried a coworker's Indesign CC, that didn't work.
* I've tried making a brand new file in Indesign CC, that didn't work.
I'm running InDesign 9.1 on Mac OS 10.8.5. It looks like Indesign 9.1 broke the "Place video from URL" Does anybody have a fix?

Salah, thank you for the suggestion. However, when trying to paste the embed code into the "Place video from URL" field gets the following error, "The URL must start with 'http://' or 'rtmp://' and must end with a valid file extension."
Using the embed code never worked with Indesign--even before I was having the problems with the URL placement.

When I placed a video from my camera roll on my ipad to keynote on my ipad I lost sound how do you make sound work?

When i placed a video from my camera roll on my ipad to my keynote presentation on my ipad I lost sound how do I get sound?

Not sure of the answer, but does the sound disappear when it was added to the photo roll, or when you try to import it into Keynote?

Video from URL, show controller on poster

Hi,
When you place a Video from URL, it allows you to specify the controller, and whether you want it to appear on rollover. Is there a way to set it so that the controller appears before the movie starts playing, to identify it as a movie clip, similar to the large play button you often see on videos in webpages?
Thanks!

Found that there is a bug, have to go inside the itunes phone menu, and find a playlist, that nobody created. That playlist makes the phone think it has the videos inside, when it doesn't. Have to delete these videos from the list and then you can put videos on the phone again. Really annoying when it happens because it gives no clue of what's going on!

How can i delete or clear video from the youtube most viewed?

How can I delete or clear video from the youtube of "most viewed?"

The 'most viewed' can't be edited - it is the videos on YouTube that have been watched most, so apart from the video being taken down from YouTube, or other videos getting more viewings, they will remain in that list.

CS6 - Placing video from url with DPS and folio unsuccessful

I am attempting to place video from a url and when I preview the folio on the iPad the video does not work. The only way I have seen this work is with an interactive PDF. Does DPS not support this feature?
I thought this would work with the fact that it would reduce the size of the folios dramatically without having to embed them. Any help would be appreicated.

No, this isn't supported yet. You need to place the video file or set up a Web Content overlay that points to the video URL.

HT4623 Videos from Netflix, youtube, etc. frequently stop, freeze and run out of sync on my ipad gen4. Any hints as what to do to correct this problem?

Videos on my ipad 4gen stop, freeze and when they do restart at times are out of sync. This happens on Netflix, youtube, FoxNews, etc. Any suggestions as to the problem or correction.

The most common cause of this type of issue is an inconsistant or slow internet connection.
But, you might want to try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.

How to remove some videos from my YouTube Favourites page?

I want to remove some videos I have added to my YouTube Favorite.
I was able to do that in IOS 5 but not in IOS 6.
I cannot find the EDIT button on the FAVORITE videos screen. I need that to delete the videos.

Sorry, Diavonex - just clicked on the wrong reply - back to myself.
The reply was for you -
Thanks.
It used to work and I would see the thumbnails wiggle with an X on each,
which, when touched, would make that thumbnail disappear and the video
removed. I just can't make it work any more.

'video from url' linking and intranet files - indesign cc

i am using the media panel and attempting to link to .mp4 files stored on an intranet site. getting the error message 'download failed because the url could not be verified'
the computer which is creating the indesign files does not have access to the intranet site. i assume this is a requirement? has anyone any experience of how to get around this?

@Tomasz – Bob is right, something must be wrong with your InDesign CS6.
Just tested in my version of CS5 and CS5.5. All is working as expected…
For this configuration I'm on OSX 10.6.8 with InDesign CS5 v.7.0.4 or InDesign CS5.5 v7.5.3.
The icon in the media panel is not grayed out and I can invoke the dialog:
And you are absolutely sure, that you did not select a text frame instead of a graphic frame?
(Sorry for that question, but it will not work if you select a text fame.)

[CS5][JSX] How to place a video from an URL

Hey everyone,
I found some great help in this forum in the past, so I hope someone can help me again this time.
I'm using Indesign CS5 on a mac. I write in Javascript.
What i try to do is dynamically placing a video from a URL.
I thought I could do this by adding a rectangle, then in the rectangle place a movie and finally add the URL to it.
This does not work. I'm lost at how to proceed.
Here is the code that i hoped would do the trick (just the relevant lines from a bigger script)
var myDocument = app.documents.item(0);
var myPage = myDocument.pages.item(0);
frameVideo = myPage.rectangles.add({geometricBounds:[0, 0, 144, 144]});
onlineVideo = frameVideo.movies.add();
onlineVideo.url= "http://www.meffect.nl/rocvideo/91870.mp4";
When i run this script I don't get any errors, but the video in the URL is not loaded.
Should I use something like
onlineVideo= frameVideo.place(URL("http://www.meffect.nl/rocvideo/91870.mp4"));
This doesn't work either!
I hope this is possible at all... I think it is, since you can do it manually in InDesign too.
Thanks guys,
Michiel

Hey guys,
I just arrived at the office after a good night of sleep, so I thought, let's give it another shot.
For some reason now my code works. It's the exact code I posted yesterday.
I have no clue why it didn't work then, but it works now.
Weird, but I don't mind as long as it keeps working
Thanks anyway!
Michiel

How to download Halloween videos from YouTube?

<By Jenny>
It is that time of year again, the exciting Halloween! Since activities in these days are wonderful, unforgettable, impressive, crazy, and fantastic, lots of them are recorded in the form of videos and uploaded to YouTube for sharing with all the people worldwide. Do you fall in love with some interesting, meaningful and unique video files about Halloween, and want to download them as your own collections so as to enjoy them in the leisure time? If so, this thread will definitely do you a favor, for it will instruct you how to download Halloween videos from YouTube in detail.
The software we will use here is Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], which is free for downloading, if you want to convert the downloaded FLV YouTube Halloween videos to other formats, you should use its retail version, if not, there will be watermarks of Pavtube stamped in the output files.
Okay, now let’s begin.
1. Download Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/], install and run it.
2. Add URL, select output format
After launching, press “Add URL” in the main interface of this program, and then the following interface will pop up. Copy and paste URL of the Halloween videos which you want to download from YouTube into the textbox after “URL”. If you only want to use its downloading function totally for free, you should check “Only Download FLV source file”, and uncheck “Keep FLV source file”, on the contrary, if you want to convert it to other format while downloading as well as keeping the FLV source file, you should tick the checkbox of “Keep FLV source file” in advance.
Imagine you’d like to do downloading and converting work simultaneously, in that case, you should click on the drop-down list of “Convert to” to select an output format, here I choose “iPhone MPEG-4 640X480(*.MP4)” as an example.
Also, there are two more optional steps, namely, specify output file name and save path. Factually, this program will generate a file name and destination folder by default automatically, if you don’t like using these ones, you can type your preferred file name into the textbox after “Save as” and click on the ellipsis icon at the opposite side of “Save to” to specify a path to store the output files.
3. Custom
This program allows users adjusting video and audio parameters like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, etc. You can configure all of these items according to your own requirements. For instance, if you need change the output files to have a smaller size, and do not mind the output quality, you can adjust these parameters into smaller figures.
4. Click “OK” to start downloading and converting
Once all the above settings are done, you can now click “OK” button to begin downloading and converting your favorite Halloween videos from YouTube at the same time. Pavtube [YouTube Converter|http://www.pavtube.com/youtube-converter/] will finish its tasks, even batch tasks at speed, and never let video and audio go in separate ways.
Well, just 4 simple steps, the downloading and converting work are completed, sincerely hope this guide is helpful for you to download or convert your beloved Halloween video files from YouTube.

Using video from another site. (not YouTube)

I am working for a parent company and would like to use a
video on my website from their website. I asked for the video and
they said they cannot give it to me but would allow me to use it if
I can figure out how to set up the source code. I have tried but
cannot figure it out on my own. Can anyone assist me or point me in
the right direction? Thanks.
Josh

Technically, it depends on the source material and how it's being broadcast.
If it's streamed on dedicated streaming servers like YouTube or Vimeo, you'll likely need a script to embed into your document.
If it's a progressive download, you need a link to the FLV and you can sometimes apply external URL to your own Flash Player. In DW, Insert Media > Flash > Progressive Download, etc... Some site owners might not appreciate your site users downloading videos from their servers. Tread carefully here.
If the source server has decent security, you might not be able to play their media from your domain. In that case, you would have to use a Flash Grabber to download their FLV files and host them on your own domain.
The simplest answer is to contact the other site owners.

Download video from youtube?

is there a way to download a video off of youtube and save it as some kind of quicktime or other video file?

If you have Firefox and want to do it from there, you can use the Add-on Flashload, which will then add a "Download this Video" link to click on within a YouTube page (but for some reason, not functioning that well in resolving the download link lately.)
Or--only one additional step--if you have trouble as noted above, use it by copying and pasting in the YouTube URL on this page.
http://www.flashload.net/en/
You will still need to install Perian (it shows up in Other in Sys Preferences) and will also play the videos, as in the Safari method (make sure the extension is .flv) in Quicktime.
It's a little more direct than the Safari method.
