Playing h.264 through the Flash player?

I want to take h.264 videos from FCP and play them on the web. I have heard there is a way to change the extension of the .mov file to .flv so that it plays through a Flash player.
1.) If I change h.264 file extension to .flv, how do you also make the same file available as a download for iPod and through iTunes as a podcast?
Thanks.

stanwelks,
I just went through this. It was recommended that I check out DV Kitchen. http://www.dvcreators.net/dv-kitchen/
My problem was that the only people who were able to view my video were mac users, and pc users who were brave enough to install whatever. I wanted to close this gap a little.
Without having to change any of my already uploaded QT H.264 files, I simply used DV Kitchen to create html code that calls up a specified flash player. Pretty straight forward
I'm on the trial version, but I may buy this, $80 US.
Let us know how that works out.

After the upgrade to 3.6, my flash player crashes while I'm trying to play Farmville. I have tried updating the flash player. I have tried restarting the computer. Nothing is working.

Last night, my system was still using Firefox 3.5.8. I was playing Farmville on Facebook and everything was working fine. This morning, I log onto my computer and find that I am upgraded to Firefox 3.6. I have been trying to play Farmville all morning, and the Adobe Flash Player keeps crashing. I have tried to update the Flash Player. I have tried restarting the computer. Nothing is working.

To anyone experiencing this problem after trying the steps I posted above, try this potential solution:
# Open Tools->Add-Ons->Plugins, find Shockwave Flash, and press Disable
# Hold down the '''Windows logo key''' and press '''R''' to bring up the ''Run'' dialog.
# Type '''%APPDATA%''' and press OK.
# Open the Adobe folder
# Right click on the Flash Player folder and press '''Rename'''. Type in ''Old Flash Player'' as the new name.
# Go back to the Application Data or AppData folder. (On Windows XP, click '''Up''' in the toolbar. On Windows 7 or Vista, click AppData in the address bar)
# Open the Macromedia folder and repeat step #5
# Go back to the add-ons window from step #1, and press Enable on Shockwave Flash
# Try Farmville, Youtube, and other affected sites to see if the problem is fixed.

Playing large video files in the flash player

Hi,
At the moment I'm trying to play large video files (1GB+) in the JW Player, but after a certain amount of time, around 67 to 70 minutes, the video just stops playing. Does the Flash Player have a limit on the size of video files?

I'd need to debug it to figure out what's going on.
The best way to get traction on this is to file a bug. If you can provide a link that demonstrates the problem, that would be ideal.
http://bugbase.adobe.com/
Post the bug number here, and I'll forward it over to the video team.
Thanks!

Differences between the 2 ways to play local swf files in flash player

There are 2 ways to allow the flash player to play local swf files:
Add the directory/file of the swf to the Global Flash Player Trust directory. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ActionScript/3.0_ProgrammingAS3/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118a9 b90204-7c95.html
Add the directory/file of the swf to the Trusted Location Settings in the Local Settings Manager.http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l#WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7fea
Adobe doesn't mentioned in the document what's the differences between these 2 methods, and they look has the same effect. But when I'm doing it on OS X, Safari 6.1, the first method doesn't work (It was working when I was using Safari 6.0). And then I tried method 2, it works…
So I'd like to ask what are the differences between these 2 methods to play local swf files?

For playing local SWF files, Download the Macintosh Flash Player 11.9 Projector
It's a standalone app. Just copy it to your Applications folder. Launch it, and drag the SWF to the Dock icon. It'll play.

How do you stop the flash player when you change pages on a web site

Hi all;
I'm building a website in flash using my limited understanding of action script. Everything was progressing very well until I found that if I go to one of my example pages of my web site and play the flash video (with audio) and click back to my "home" button, the audio will continue to play. If I go back to the example page, the video is off and when I start the video, it plays again with the other audio. I hear the audio twice! I know there is an action script to handle this but, I can't figure it out.
My question is, How do I stop the audio when I click away from the example page back to the home page or any other page?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I'm usinf Flash CS4 and a Mac OS operating system.

The problem is most likely in your Action Script. Therefore this question should be posted in the Action Script forum. This forum only deals with the Flash Player, which, in this case is running the script as it is written, and therefore, working properly.

How can i set the html5 player by default in ubuntu instead of the flash player ? i just can use the flash player as default

Well i use lubuntu 14.04 and i've realized that the html5 player on youtube works so much better than the flash player, but i can't use it by default, for play videos i have to request the html5 player, and the problem is when i restart the browser or when i turn off my computer, big is my surprise because youtube is using the flash player. If i disable the flash plugin is ok because youtube doesn't have another option but to use html5, but this is not the solution, because there is still some videos that use flash, and other web sites too. so: how can i fix this or i just have to wait that mozilla gives html5 support for linux, because on windows the default player is the html5. i'd really appreciate any help, thanks

I usually use Ubuntu, and am not aware of HTML5 being the default for Flash videos on Windows.
Is it more likely you have chosen an option on the YouTube website to use HTML5. I think this page offers support and includes an option to toggle HTML5 or FlashPlayer.

Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

Hi,
Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.
http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

Why the flash player don't work after installing the video downloader add-on?

I've installed and uninstall the Firefox mobile app several times to try and fix this issue. Every time I add the video downloader add-on the flash player won't let me tap to play videos anymore. I've tried to completely enable the flash but still didn't work. I've used this add on for a few months and it worked fine up until the last Firefox update. Without the add-on the flash player works fine but after I've added the video downloader add-on I would have to uninstall and reinstall the mobile spot to get the flash to work again. I really love to use this add-on that's the advantage that Firefox mobile app has over other web browser. Please tell me how I can fix this issue. THANKS

Hello FRYDAE
Welcome to SuMo help Forum,
Thankyou for reaching us here
About your problem , have you tried to clear your privacy/browsing data? And see if flash works?
And you can try to disable the add-on, if you don't want to use it . and enable it again if you want to download a video .
Cheers!

Any way to get moviecontrollers in the Flash Player preview?

I test my flashfiles (banner ads) several times during making by pressing Ctr+Enter. The movie then opens up in the Flash Player.
It would be really useful to have play/skip/forward/backward/pause/stop (just regular moviecontrollers) buttons in the player to skip straight to the right part (not as part of the file).
Is there any way to add this to flash? A plugin/extension maybe?

in the test environment, click control and check the keyboard shortcuts. if you don't like those shortcuts, you can create your own in the keyboard shortcuts panel.

Does the Flash Player (Win7 / IE 9+) cache content outside of the browser?

I have encountered a technical issue using Flash (CC) content in Captivate 7. I am distributing the content to a customer with approximately 1000 Windows PC's running IE 9 +. Some of these computers have no issue but a small number experience a problem which prevents them from downloading content after an undetermined point. There is no apparent pattern to identify either a fault in the content or a fault in the workstation build.
The problem looks like this:
The user is able to access the content - sometimes several courses, sometimes only one.
At some point during a course -it will stop playing (failing to load the next page).
The user can close the course and reload - but is always stops in the same place it originally failed.
The user can load previously accessed courses and these work without issue.
The user is unable to load any new courses (previously un-accessed) - resulting in a blank page.
No application events are logged when this occurs so there is little to examine when it occurs. We have anecdotal evidence that the issue can sometimes be resolved by clearing the browser cache - but not always. Also - we have unconfirmed reports that the problem can "resolve itself" after several weeks.
From my perspective it looks like one of the following scenarios is causing the problem:
The Flash Player is caching content in a location other than the browser cache and reaches a limit. The cache is not overwriting content so then fails to download any new content.
The Flash Player experiences a problem which prevents it from downloading content (corrupt files, registry issue, or policy restriction).
We have several other customers who access this content at different sites - and none have reported this specific issue, so we are confident that the delivery mechanism is sound. The customers workstations are generally new machines with plenty of capacity, and they have a 200 Mb leased line connection to the Internet. The customer has assured us they do not use a caching proxy server on site, nor any bandwidth optimisation tools so in theory, the client connection is direct to the Internet. Additionally - the fact that this issue affects isolated workstations suggests the problem lies at the endpoint - not in the transmission path.
Has anyone encountered this type of issue before - or does anyone have any knowledge of Flash Player caching operations?
Regards

IE will roll cache like any other browser. Keep as much as the user allows and start recycling when that gets filled. At no point will IE "fill up" on any single or multiple sites and be unable to download any more content. Downloading is all a browser does and Flash is not excluded from that unlimited party. However if you never remove content properly and continue to download endless content, you could encounter RAM issues. You don't have unlimited RAM so you may be hitting a wall. But as long as you're disposing any content you loaded that you no longer need, that isn't an issue.
You're going to need to install some custom logging if you really want to debug a clients client. The most popular thing a Flash application will do is fail silently and lock up because you did not provide any failsafe measures for various common issues. From common crossdomain policy issues to flaky connections failing in the middle of a download, you need to handle all these situations and act appropriately. If any content is failing to load in Flash you can be sure if you try {} catch () {} you'll be given a top level chance to send out a log notice to yourself. That's of course assuming you have the standard IOErrorEvent, SecurityErrorEvent, etc already in place to also log.
If you had access to the offending machines then opening the developer tools in IE and using the network manager would be the easiest way to see what's going on. If you click to load more content and see no network request, the requesting itself has an issue (could be a million reasons). If you see the request go out then you'll either see it fail in the middle or complete. If it fails you should have code to handle that. If it completes and the app still locks up, you probably have ABC that isn't playing nicely and should be "caught" and logged.
There's just no one way to approach this. Only layers of error handling and logging are your best friends when it comes to debugging this kind of thing.
Personally I've seen clients boast they have XMbit lines and their network is otherwise perfect, when it had old grade (100mbit) eth cables and the little things that schools and large companies tend to overlook in the long run. It's easy to replace a faulty switch or eth card but in-wall cable, not so often.

The Flash Player is not running but it is there and it is enabled and Active X is not checked. The Player version is 16.0.0.305. I have the latest ie11 and the latest W8.1. I have used the Adobe tool to delete the Flash and subsequently I have updated or reloaded Flash using your updater. I have gone into IE options and insured that the settings are supportive of Flash. The Adobe mini Flash test program on your site says it not enabled or Active X is enabled - not true - all is set as it should be. I have gone through your forums but to no avail. I've looked in MS forums but nothing that made any difference. What's going on and what can I do about it?

Try using Firefox. Flash usually works on Firefox when it won't on Safari. I noticed that the Safari does not show the same version as Firefox does. Iwonder if that could be the problem. Safari on the left shows 10.1, Firefox show 10.3

Chrome uses a different and separate plug-in.
There are things about IE you need to know, especially 11. Specifically:
"User-Agent Strings"
That doesn't mean a lot, I'm sure, but it's the root of your problems, and Flash Player has nothing to do with it.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess they've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

It is best to go to the source, Adobe, to get their software and updates. Sometimes malware can infect sites with messages that appear legitimate, but will, instead, install malware/virus/trojan on your system. Read the following carefully to install and/or update Adobe Flash.
There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''''You do not have Adobe Flash (aka "Shockwave Flash" in Add-ons > Plugins) installed.'''''
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)

Does Adobe Reader for Android have the Flash Player Runtime

I have a PDF document that I generate which contains an embedded Flex application.
It works fine with the desktop version of PDF reader. However. It doesn't appear that
PDF reader for Android contains the Flash Player runtime.
Can someone from Adobe confirm this ?
Thanks.

Dov, you confimed that Adobe Reader for Android has the Flash Player Runtime - I thought this feature is necessary to be able to show embedded (flv) videos?
What about viewing cross platform proof PDF files containing mp4 (H.264) embedded videos?
Up to now I’m forced to show ezPDF Reader in my workflow scenarios - think about the bad psychology that I always will have explain that the rich media PDF workflows could work with Adobe products, but Adobe itself seems to limit PDF use cases in order not to become a competitor of let’s guess of FOLIO?
Please explain me why? No market? I would like to contradict as much as I can.
If someone starts to weaken the big possibilities for PDF even on mobile devices this seems to be Adobe itself: Where are the Adobe show cases showing rich media PDFs on mobile devices?
Almost everything Adobe is showing with rich media information is in DPS based on Folio (slide shows, videos etc).
You might get all the functionality much easier using PDF (seen from a classic DTP workflow using Word, FrameMaker or InDesign)
Why didn’t Adobe add more multimedia features? Where is the 3D support on mobile devices?
Has Adobe changed the overall PDF strategy?
Where is an Adobe PDF cross platform strategy for using rich media PDFs on PC, Macs, Android and iPhone/iPads?
