Play multiple movies in same window area

Hello,
I'm sure this question has come up before, but couldn't find it.
On my html page I want to have a number of links to my Captivate movies down column on left, and then one movie container on the right, so each time a movie link is clicked, the movie will play within the same container on the right.
I'm using RoboHelp 8 to import and publish my movies. Can import a movie onto my page, but do not see the ability to put a placeholder container on my page so each movie could play within same container.
Thanks!

You're on the right path but a little confused.
You adjust a video track location by using the offset. Default location is 0,0 (upper left corner). You may need your calculator to do the math.
Another concept that escapes new users of QT Pro is negative values. You can use a negative value (say -320, 0) to position a track 320 pixels from the original upper left corner. This will put two 320X240 movies in a side by side 640X240 player window.
Don't forget to adjust the track layers. If they are all going to play at the same time they should all have the same layer number.

  • Can't play multiple movies in one window

    I must be doing something wrong. I wanted to watch a series of video clips (all .mov) in quicktime, but not in 10 different windows. Isn't there a way to highlight 10 clips, and then "play all" and have them open up in one window? For some reason, every time I attempt this, I get 10 quicktime players opening up! I'd just like one at a time, and the ability to skip to through the movies like I would do in iTunes with music. I seem to remember doing this before, but now can't remember how. Any ideas?

    The steps are correct but you've left out the one that adjusts the 2 through 9 movies position as compared to the others.
    The first video would hold a position of 0,0 (upper left). When you add the second video you need to adjust its "offset" to position it next to but not overlapping the first. Since your videos are 100X75 you would set the offset of the second track too 100,0 (100 pixels to the right of the original and 0 pixels different in height). The third would be 200,0 offset.
    On the second row your first file would be 0,75 (75 pixels below the upper video). The second file on the second row would be offset 100,75 and the third would be 200,75.
    The third row would be 0,150 followed by 100,150 and 200,150.
    You could add a slight "border" between each video and give it a color by using the bgcolor="your color" (standard html color codes) and adding that space by adjusting the offset plus your border width in pixels. Hollywood Squares style of video.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/ one of my older files that uses multiple track video playback of a QuickTime file. The "TV" set is a track and the video that plays "inside" it is another. The still image movies are also separate tracks and QuickTime .mov files can hold up to 99 tracks.

  • How can I play multiple movies on quicktime like I can on windows medplayer

    How can I play multiple movies on quicktime. When i click on open file it will only let me choose one movie to play.For example When ever I used windows media player I could drag my mouse over numerous files and it would play them one after another like in a list format. Can anyone help with this?
    Thank you

    Hi Brennan,
    Only HDMI is going to support audio & video on the single cable. Which MacBook Air do you have? Here's a great article regarding this - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241. Also keep in mind that only the current generation of MacBook Airs support this. The previous generation, also with MiniDisplay Port would support HDMI but you'd need to run a separate line from the headphone port over AUX for audio.
    The first and second generation models, which have micro-DVI, do not support audio. Regarding the RCA cables, Apple offers adapters that allow you to go to VGA and that would probably be your best bet. I do not believe there's a MiniDisplay Port to RCA solution out there, you'd need to do multiple adapters and that's always a questionable performance solution.

  • Multiple birthdays on same day are not imported

    Multiple birthdays on same day are not imported into a new calendar - only the last birthday for that day is imported into the calendar.
    Any ideas what is going on?

    Same problem with events from an iCal Calendar. I have an iCal Calendar that contains all the events I want included in my iPhoto Calendar - I use it every year, it has Birthdays and Anniversaries plus other important dates. It has worked fine in previous years using previous versions of iPhoto. In iPhoto 11, it only ever includes 1 event per day.
    This also applies to Public Holidays
    This is a major problem - the Calendar are unusable as it stands. It needs to fixed quickly as this is the time of year people buy their Calendars.

  • Multiple movies in one window

    what method do you recomend for playing 10 small movie clips in the same window? quicktime seems to want a player for each file? that would mean my page would be incredibly long with videos that could all play at the same time.... which I dont want. I would like to have a link that says 'link1' and then the movie 1 plays in the wondow... then I would like another link that says 'link2' and then the second movie plays in the SAME window that the first one did.
    please help, thank you

    I would not recommend multiple players on the same page because of the likelyhood that mutliple players will eventually be running at the same time.... one player not turned off before second one starts, etc.... MUCH CONFUSION!!
    Working example of JW Player with XML Playlist:
    http://www.nickbeststrongman.com/liberty_11.html
    View source :
    <div id="liberty_11_replay">  
      <script type='text/javascript'>
         var so = new SWFObject('video/replay_player.swf','ply','500','710','9','#ffffff');
         so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
         so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
         so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
         so.addVariable('playlistsize', '300');
         so.addVariable('playlistfile','video/liberty_11.xml');
         so.addVariable('playlist','bottom');
         so.write('liberty_11_replay');
      </script>
    <!-- close replay -->      
    </div>
    That's ALL... very simple!
    options to set display size (in pixels) : '500','710',
    option for size of playlist: ('playlistsize', '300');
    option for location of playlist...left, right, or bottom: 'playlist','bottom'
    this layout uses swfobject 1.5, so in addition to the "replay_player.swf'", you need the swfobject version 1.5 file. All available from the JW Player site.

  • BI 10g multiple installation on same windows machine

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where in I want to install OBIEE 10g twice on the same windows server. Can we achieve this by installing it the second time as another OS User? What are the steps that we need to follow in this scenario?
    Most importantly, Is this approach supported by Oracle?
    Thank you so much,
    Krishi

    Hi Krishi,
    Yes, I think we can install OBIEE 10g on the same windows box multiple times. However, there is some manual effort needed to change the port numbers of each NQServer, sawserver, javahost,oc4j instances to resolve port conflicts.
    I do not remember oracle saying that this kind of design is not supported though.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,

  • Preloading multiple movies for same panel

    Hello,
    I'm new to JMF and have to achieve the following.
    I have make an application that can play a collection of movies (50+) and play them in the same panel in arbitrary sequence. The movies need to play after each other as seamless as possible so they need to be preloaded as much as possible. The application can load as long as it wants but once it's playing movies need to start almost instantly.
    So far ive tried working with one panel and making 50 MediaPlayer objects attached to the one panel and removing content of panel after each one is added.
    In my attempts i tried:
    prefetching each after loading;
    realizing them after loading
    realizing them before i start playing
    but i because i still havent figured out the right way to do this ive had very messy results. ( Not realized exceptions, sound playing but no visuals, several movies are playing at the same time, .. movies wont start after they have been stopped etc....)
    Can someone who is more familiar with JMF please put me back on track? I fear that my approach isnt the good one but i have no idea how to attempt this.
    Thanks in advance,
    Hendrik

    Thing is, it is decided only at runtime which movie will
    play after the current one That is what I was assuming, yes.
    One form of such a thing might be the user
    points to a directory, and the app. plays the
    animations it finds, in random order.
    For this, the app. could keep a list of files or
    URL's of potential files to play next, selecting
    the 'very next' at the exact moment the next file
    is required or called for.
    ...so I would have to preload them all. I do not see why. In my way of imagining
    the scenario, the app. might be loading the
    'next' clip as it is playing the current one.
    All it would need to store 'all of' is the File
    (or URL, or String that represent file or
    URL) objects that are animations.
    If it turns out the clips are so short in duration
    that it takes longer to load them than play them,
    it might pay to have a number of threads loading
    the next clips (plural). So fire up a number of
    'load next vid.' threads, and it should all work
    just fine.
    ...Wouldnt it be possible to preload 50 clips
    using MediaPlayer.prefetch() when loading? Yes. No. Maybe. Depends..
    How long is a piece of string?
    (To put that another way)
    I have animations of 80-120 Meg. in size
    that run for around 20-40 seconds each
    (800x600 at 15-20FPS from high res.
    JPEG's - no audio). Running in a standard
    memory JRE, I can expect to see around
    25-30 of them in sequence before the
    multi-file player I mentioned earlier, hits
    OutOfMemoryErrors. So, ..
    No.
    Playing 'plain old' MOV's produced by a
    Kodak camera recording a 320x240 format
    at 15 FPS with 22KHz sound, I can play over
    an hour of video before OOME's.
    Yes.
    Of course, increase the memory assigned to
    the app., and you can expect to delay the OOME
    (unless reusing players, or finding a way to
    effectively dispose of them - in which case you
    can increase the number that can be
    preloaded).
    Maybe..

  • Play QT mov in document window

    Please, can somebody tell me how to play a .mov in the
    Dreamweaver8 document window. Working on MacOSX, Quicktime
    installed. DW keeps saying 'The plugin failed to initialize'.
    Preview however works well in Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer
    for Mac

    However, the plug-in cannot be installed as it was intended for an earlier version of the software I am running.
    You have three basic options:
    1) You can manually trasfer the component from a previous installation on another system,
    2) You can try the Squared-5 lion installer utility that comes in the MPEG Streamclip v1.9.3b7 beta download to install the component in the incompatible installer package, or
    3) You can use Pacifist to install/extract and manually install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component in the incompatible Apple installer package.

  • Playing a movie in a window

    I am creating a program and I need to play a movie. I think I'll have to use NSMovie and NSMovieView, but what do I need to do in Interface Builder, and which methods do I call in Xcode? Can someone please tell me the steps to just simply playing a movie (already inside the application bundle) in a window? Thank you!

    I figured out how to do this. You have to select a movie using NSMovie's initializing methods and then choose it with the NSMovieView.

  • Multiple Documents in Same Window

    I hate bothering people with such a trivial question, but this is driving me nuts...
    I had been using Acrobat 9.0 Std and opening several documents within the same window, and toggling thru the docs using Ctrl+Tab.  Somehow, something changed and now each doc opens in its own window and to switch between docs, I have to use the Windows cmd: Alt+Tab.  On at least three separate occasions, I've tried to find an Acrobat setting to get things back to the way they were, but I can't seem to find one.
    Can anyone help me with this trivial little problem?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Well it must be that I'm losin' my marbles... 'cuz the About info says it's 9.1.2.
    You sound more confident than I... so I'm goin' with the lost marbles hypothesis.
    Thx again... --JM
    Actually... another theory... this is a work computer and I don't manage it.  Perhaps I was using 8.x and the I/T people upgraded it to 9.x.  Just a thought.

  • Playing multiple movies without clicking home button

    I want to create a piece of art containing multiple buttons. For example, an illustration of a field, where, if the user were to click on a bush, a rabbit's head would pop out briefly, then disappear behind the bush. If a lilly pad were clicked, a frog would pop his head out of water and again disappear. How can I allow the user to randomly click on the various buttons, triggering the associated movies to play, without necessitating that a "home" button be hit after each sequence?

    I can get each button to play the corresponding movie. After the movie plays, however, I would like the movie to automaticaly revert to the home state.
    In this way, the user could randomly click around on the image, triggering various movies when the appropriate buttons are hit. I have seen this done many times- I remember an an image of a hanunted house, for example. When the user clicked on a window, it would open and a ghost would look out. Without having to then click a home button, a further click on the door of the house would cause the door to open, and a mummy to lean out. I'm trying to avodi having to repeatedly hit a "home" button before additional button hits could trigger additional movie clips.
    I should probably mention that I've had to insert a stop command at the end of each movie clip, otherwise all the animations play sequentially, rather than one at a time, when a button is clicked. How do I tell Flash to procede from this stop command, at the end of each movie, back to home, so that further buttons can be pushed?
    Sorry if I've misunderstood your posting- I've been animating for several years on Flash, but have only started several days ago to use Actionscript 3 for interactivity, and am a complete novice, in that regard.

  • "Multiple movies in Same Frame" ...Help topic

    Trying to add "picture-in-picture" movies to a background frame. Have resized each inserted movie to the size I need (-scaled image with preserve aspect ratio checkbox-) but have not figured out how to place the movies where I need them (each of four corners). Offset seems erratic at best.
    Can anyone tell me how or point me to where I can find out.
