Playback of .f4v files

I have a live feed that i am streaming with adobe flash media live encoder 3.1. I am saving the files as .f4v, how do i play them? i have tryed to use both embedding and every flash player under the sun as well as adobe cs5. can anyone help me with this.

Try VLC player - VLC has almost all codecs built in, so if some codecs on your computer got mixed up, VLC won't care.
Edit:
When sending those files arround with FTP, also make sure you use "binary" transmission. ASCII transmission might really mess up the video files...
Best regards,
Mr.Zottel

  • What is a f4v file?

    When I export my footage, Elements creates a f4v file, but when I click on it, Windows tells me that it cannot open it.

    You must be in Publish+Share/Computer/Adobe Flash Video. The F4v file extension is a wrapper format for a flash file.
    What Open With are you trying to use for its playback? Please right click the .F4V file, select Open With, and then try the VLC Player, Mozilla Firefox (if it is your default browser), or QuickTime. Does the .F4V open for you with those programs?

  • Problems playing .f4v files in CS5.5 that were rendered from CS5.5?

    Premiere Pro CS5.5 seems to have trouble playing .f4v files that it has rendered? I basically edit my video, (uncompressed .mov) export it as a .f4v file for YouTube which is about half an hour in length. I then get that half an hour video and do a video preview of what happened over the half hour… like a montage. I used to export my videos to .mp4 and I never had any problems when trying to do my montage edits, but now that I am using .f4v CS5.5 freezes the video but the audio keeps playing, the video won't play at all or it freezes during transitions (and the transitions are rendered before I try to playback my clips) The bottom line is that the .f4v format has never played back perfectly once and I could understand this if I had got the file from somewhere else but I rendered it from CS5.5? Can anybody help me with this please.
    Thank you
    Bird

    Hi Jim, thanks for your reply What you have suggested, is what I think I will do. I think I'll create a new sequence from my exisiting sequence and do my montage edits that way instead of using .f4v or .mp4. Do you know why I was able to edit my montages from .mp4 with no problem but not from .f4v file format which was rendered from CS5.5? I just wondered why as this seems odd to me.
    Thank you in advance.

  • F4V File Loses 30 Minutes of 1 Hour Presentation

    My client used a conferencing company to host their meeting. They wanted to provide me with a complete finished file (with audio added) for upload to the website. They use Quicktime exclusively for their client projects. The presentation was strictly a Powerpoint and no video. The conferencing company asked how I wanted the file. I asked for a file I could use in a flash movie. The provided me with a f4v that they had married the ppt and the audio files together.
    I tested thier *sample* f4v file they sent me prior to the meeting (containing a movie of an interview) by putting it in AME and encoding it for a smaller flv in several bracketed settings. These all loaded into Dreamweaver fine and played out ok on my test pages.
    When I received the fv4 of the presentation file, I noted it was 206mb. I began trying to encode it to reduce the size as much as possible so it could load ok on the web. For two days I struggled with settings and each result (either f4v or flv)  produced unacceptable results (Powerpoint slides blurry) when I pulled it into Flash Professional. I finally used what I thought was the lowest quality setting I could get away with and a much smaller dimension. This movie was a bit better but stil not up to my standards.
    However something continued to seem to be wrong about all the .swf files I was creating. They seemed to have the original 56 slides, but the audio seemed to not track with the slides properly. It was 3 days after I received the file that it dawned on me that the file must be corrupted at 27 min. All other video handlers (including MS file managment)  that I had on my machine showed the same thing, a file 27 min. long. I thought that was the length of the meeting! All the slides were there, but the audio was abbreviated to from 59 to 27 min and the file length was 27 min.
    On a hunch, since this company uses Quicktime, I pulled up my "never used" Quicktime player. I don't even like having this on my machine because it is insidious. I played the f4v file in it and wouldn't you know, the file was actually 59 min long! And this included all the audio. But I needed to have the whole file to encode it in AME. Since nothing else I had used, including Flash Media Playback, could see the other 30 minutes of the file I was forced to purchase the professional version of Quicktime to export the file and get it into Flash. Drat.
    I eventually gave up on the .swf movie for the web and took the ppt file, added the audio files (that I extracted using Quicktime), edited them in Soundbooth and then used a third party packager to make a flash movie. Worked like a charm.
    However, the client now wants to know why I "don't know what I am doing." I need to know, since I am no expert on the art of encoding, is it possible that this file was corrupted by Quicktime when it was encoded by them? And why would it behave as a corrupted file to all my Adobe products, but not to Quicktime?
    Why would every video handler I have (that can handle a f4v) see and play this file at exactly the same (wrong) length? It never worked in the online Flash Media Playback either, giving me a vague message about a problem at this time. So what does Adobe Media Encoder see that causes it, when encoding, to take the 56 slides and compress them into half the time of the original presentation and chop off the last half hour of audio? Should I have known this would happen?
    I know this is Monday morning quarterbacking, but I am really curious. And it would help to have my ducks in a row when talking with the client.
    Thanks

    Sorry for the delay in getting back.  I had woken around 3:30AM and got up to check the status of the 2nd export attempt, and when I found the same situation as the first attempt, stayed up to post here and see what reponses hopefully might be here when I got up in the morning.
    Ann, there are no gaps on the time line as it is one continuous file, due I guess in how I saved it to the other disc.  Just uploaded the one really good Neat profile I got on the individual file segments in the browser from the RAID drive that I had placed on the time line with the first sequence.  The first three of those left a bit more noise in some spots, but a lot of noise still crawling on the right cheek of the CEO in the low light he saddled us with.  Luckily the 4 try Neat really nailed it. 
    BUT....after typing the above I just re-inserted the Lexar flash drive and brought up its info and yep it does say, "MS-DOS (FAT 32)"    Uggghhhh!  Bought it a week and a half ago from Office Depot in town.  Wasn't cheap.... $178 plus tax.  Still have my receipt, hopefully they will refund.  This type of scenario is exactly why I bought that large a size ....64gb.  To be able to have enough space to leave shooting job with a client if necessary and they could mail it back to me when the job was offloaded.
    Is there any kind of flash drive that size then, that doesn't have the file size restriction I can pick up from on line or like a Frys please?  I think the incredibly slow export was due to the 2.0 USB and all the Neat noise reducing information, plus HD codec I guess.  7 1/2 hour export and only 18 minutes out of the hour covered..  Are there any other convenient options to leave with a client, with maybe SATA connection, which would be safe to ship back to me in these situations that could take the jostling from shipping?
    Thanks very much

  • Conversion of fragmented f4v files

    Hi,
    I want to convert f4v files. Recorded with adobe's live media encoder. So I can edit them in Premiere Pro or play them with vlc.
    Right now the files are 500 mb, the information is in it. Only playback stops after 7-10 minutes.
    The following I allready tried.
    ffmpeg (does not work, neather windows or linux)
    f4vpp (i get the 203 error)
    now I want to set up adobe flash media server and record them with stream recording software. Dont get it figured out, how to open the rtpd stream.
    I did a default instal, and when I replace the file sample_1500kbs.f4v in the vod folder with my file, it works well. so now I want to find out how to catch the stream..
    Any help would be apreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Vincent Vriens

    Hi, victor.
    With H264 video format, you can convert from f4v file to mp4 (or other) with ffmpeg. You should check ffmpeg.
    I used
    <code>
    ffmpeg -i filename.f4v -b:v 500k filename.mp4
    </code>
    and it worked.

  • How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats

    How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats
    Nowadays, every one can download their favorite videos from video sharing websites like YouTube, Hulu, MySpace, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com and so on at will.

    I've just downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13, but .flv files and .f4v files are not played by Adobe Flash Player. I've tried to make it default player but i didn't release which file .exe to browse for (by right-clicking and choosing Open with > Choose default program...).

    There's a Flash Player Projector (standalone) in the Flash Professional CS6/Players folder, but it's usually outdated.
    When browsing to an app to use from the Properties window, go there, but... download this one: Windows Flash Player 13 Projector  and replace the Flash Player that's in that folder.
    If you're looking to test Flash files you've authored, then you'll need the Projector, but if you're just looking for a good player for FLV and F4V, then you should use VLC Media Player. http://www.videolan.org/

  • Adobe Media Encoder and f4v files

    I have a bunch of f4v files that were created by FMLE 3.2 that I'd like to convert to a more usable format, but when trying to open them in Adobe Media Encoder CS5.5, I get an error that says:
    "The file <my file> could not be imported.  The source compression type is not supported."
    These are f4v files straight from FMLE, with h264 video and aac audio, and they play fine in VLC.  This is all running on Mac OS 10.8.
    What gives?  Can AME really not open f4v files from FMLE?

    Apparently not.

  • FMLE + blackmagic intensity pro : locally saved f4v files are choppy/jerky

    Hello,
    I'm successfully using the blackmagic intensity pro with FMLE for live streaming.
    Unfortunately, although the streaming is perfect, the local f4v files recorded by FMLE during the streaming are not proper : they appear all jerky or choppy. (they are correctly post-processed by f4vpp)
    From the strange effect on the video, I'd say the problem seems to be a interlace/progressive confusion in FMLE when recording locally, but why is the stream good...?
    I tested both component or composite input of the bmip and it's the same. I've tried all interlacing/progressive settings possible in the BMIP input and on the camera too.
    I precise that the same setup is working very well with DV input from the same camera (the purpose is to change for a non-DV camera with BMIP).
    Is there somebody who faced that and solved it ?

  • Quicktime playback of .TOD files with Perian installed

    I recently purchased a JVC GZHD3 camcorder, and have had no problems playing the .TOD files in quicktime until I installed Perian 0.5 which I got from the apple website. Why did does it now say, the movie could not be opened, the movie contains and incorrect duration? Like I said, I never had any issues with playback of my recorded video until I installed Perian. What's the deal here with these HD files?
    TJ

    JVC says this:T here seems to be a TOD component/codec one requires, it's free and there's a link (and apaprently on the CD that came with the camera, too)
    Can I use GZ-HD7/GZ-HD3 with Mac?
    Yes, for playback of TOD file QuickTime can be used if the QuickTime component is installed from CD ROM supplied with the camera. Editing of HD video is possible with iMovie HD or Final Cut Pro. Both of these work with TOD file extension. Also the contents can be down converted from High Definition to DV standard thru firewire (1394) to be edited with older versions of editing software.
    Can Final Cut Pro software be used to edit and create a movie (MAC)?
    YES. Final Cut Pro can work with a .TOD file. But it is necessary to first install QuickTime Component, this file is located on CD ROM provided with the camera. Then from the following website:
    http://software.transdigital.co.jp/products/cbsev/qceng/index.htm
    Setup files for Final Cut Pro for 60i (for USA) needs to be downloaded and installed On the same page there is a tutorial link with individual sections for recordings made in FHD or SP/1440CBR modes. It shows you how to convert the file to either AIC (Apple Intermediate Codec), YUV (uncompressed) format or HDV1080i
    Also the Google Gods reveal this: TOD seems to be like QT, or AVi , a container with MPEG-2 inside it:
    If you are using Final Cut Pro or other professional non-linear editing programs on the Mac, you cannot use the camera's native .TOD format, which is basically an MPEG inside the .TOD container.
    Forget about following JVC's instructions: they are too time-consuming and don't allow batch processing. The easiest conversion method I've found requires two freeware programs: The VLC media player, and MPEG Streamclip, both available on the Apple Website (and elsewhere).
    You'll first need to use the VLC player to convert the .TOD into a .TS file, which takes seconds (you are only changing the container format to MPEG TS, not actually changing compression). Once you've changed the .TOD file to a .TS file, you can use MPEG Streamclip to change to a variety of file formats that Final Cut Pro can recognize. Of course since you are recompressing the file at this point, expect this to take far longer than the first step.
    Note - MPEG Streamclip requires Apple's MPEG-2 component to edit the video.

  • How to use F4V Files with Premiere 5.5

    Hey all,
    I work at a small company that does live streaming of video. We are experimenting with new HD cameras and have found that our best results for streaming has been to use h.264. We are having fantastic results with this, however, Using Flash Meda Live Encoder the end result is an .f4v file. I don't have much experience with this variation of .flv, but I'm honestly finding it quite useless.
    I understand that you don't typically edit this type of file, that it is in a sense working backwards. However, our situation is that our streaming quality is highest when we use this format. Obviously, I am unable to get this file into premiere to edit it. I'm actualy unable to play it virtually anywhere as well (moyea converter, moyea flv player, vlc...nothing plays it).
    Does anyone have any suggestions as far as where to go from here? I know there is probably a lot more info required for anyone to give me some feedback, so let me know what you need to know about our equipment/settings and I'll supply it.
    Thanks for the help!

    @Jim Unfortuntaley, it's not practical for us to encode two files, one streaming and one capturing in a different format.
    I do appreciate the help though.
    @John That program looks cool, however that doesn't help either because we stream LIVE video. So I need to be encoding through FMLE or WME if I'm doing a windows file.
    I actually had some progress using the adobe f4v post processor. I was able to convert the file into another f4v file that was able to import into Premiere. However, once I import it, I get no audio on my file. When I play the file, there is audio, but again when I import it into Premiere, no audio at all.
    This seems to be a common problem and a potential bug. But if anyone has any further input, im VERY close to having success if I can only get my audio in there. (I do know I could get the audio into premiere by itself, but I'm trying to create a workflow that I can bring to my boss. He won't be a big fan of having many steps to get everything into Adobe)

  • So I have made a .f4v file in Media Encoder, now what?

    Media Encoder's presets are all about making .f4v files rather than .flv files out of video clips, so I figure it is the prefered format, but DW in CS4 seems to have never heard of them.  What's up?  How am I supposed to use these .f4v files in DW?
    -- Don

    Adobe Media Encoder, without warning, embeds a huge iSkySoft logo in the upper left hand corner of every movie I put in the queue.  I did find a way around it, though.  One must specify Flash 9.0 or above to avoid the un-invited logo embed.  Absolutely disappointing. I read in a post that the Encoder is a stand alone added to CS4.  Dreamweaver will only accept FLV or FL4 files, and the Media Encoder will supply this, but at a hidden cost.  Really, all users must download Flash 9.0 to view my videos without the iSkySoft logo?

  • CS5 XMP metadata make huge Flash F4V files

    In CS4 i had MPEG2 files that I need to export as F4V for preview purposes.
    Four MPEG2 files side by side in one long F4V video.
    The MPEG2 files are exported from Premiere, with a lot av complicated After Effects Comps as source.
    Each MPEG2 file gets a corresponding XMP file that i just ignore.
    In CS4 it worked great. The F4V files came out at about 32MB, just as predicted by the encoder before I started.
    Now, with the same project in CS5, I did the same process.
    Only that the F4V files for some reason came out at about 57MB, with the same settings as before.
    I noticed that the corresponding XMP files for the MPEG2s now where 3.5 MB big. Before they used to be 7KB.
    Then I deleted the XMP files, and let Premiere generate new ones. These was only 4KB.
    I then exported a new F4V, and i came out at 32MB.
    So WHY ON EARTH would anyone want to embed 25MB of metadata in a 32MB F4V-file???
    A file that will go on the web, and you try to get as small as possible?
    And what is all this metadata?? I did not put any thing in there!
    4 x 3.5MB does not even add up to 25MB!!

  • Preloader to also preload external f4v files in main movie?

    n00b alert... I did search the forum (and several others
    online), but either the code got too complicated for me to even
    attempt to adjust it, or I didn't find a relevant answer.
    So I really hope someone here can help me out.
    I've found a preloader code online that works like a charm. I
    don't really know what half of it actually means/does, but it
    preloads and then plays the mainfile.swf . Me happy.
    But the "mainfile.swf" calls external f4v files, and the
    problem is that they do not get preloaded. (And that kinda was why
    I needed a preloader in the first place...)
    I gave all the f4v files instance names within the mainfile
    (assume: video01.f4v, video02.f4v etc), and the f4v files
    themselves are in the same folder as the mainfile.swf.
    What do I need to add to the code to get it to preload
    everything?
    Thanks in advance!!
    ActionScript Code of my preloader is attached.

    You could load each movie using movieClip.loadClip(); and
    check it has been loaded by using a listener and the
    "myListener.onLoadInit" script to write your own function to begin
    the playhead for that movie.
