Presenter 10 fails with embedded wmv videos

Hi
I have just upgraded from Presenter 9 to Presenter 10 and now the embedded *.wmv videos are not longer processed by Presenter 10!
I am always facing the error message "There was an error encoding the file!" when trying to publish the presentation.
I have dozends of presentations containing many *.wmv video files. Presenter 9 was working fine with that video format.
Who can help?
Thanks

Do you have another program that can convert videos? Presenter's video conversion tool has always been a minimal application, and gives you little control over the settings and quality of the output.
Video conversion tools were recently discussed here, and RDziuban ended up using Handbrake, which is free, to convert their videos to MP4. This remvoed the encoder in Presenter, and allows you to to have full control over the settings for the re-encoded video.

Flash 10/11 hangs in Firefox 5/6 with embedded Youtube videos on Windows 7 x64 without crash-report.

Hello everybody,
At first I report my problem to bugzilla of firefox on this URL: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=673272 .
I hope people from this Forum can help me.
My Firefox (5.0.1 or 6.0 b2) with Flash (10.3.181.34 or 11.0.1.60) hangs when I enter to webpage with embedded videos or direct on YouTube, faster hangs is on webpage with embedded YT videos.
When FF is hangs I can kill "plugin-container.exe *32" and see screen like this: http://prntscr.com/2e1yo with new upper bar "The Adobe Flash plugin has crashed. Learn More... Reload page x" but WITHOUT "Send crash report". "Submit crash reports" is enable in FF by default.
I turn HW acceleration off, testing new FF profile, new windows user profile, safe mode of FF, the newest both softare FF 6.0b2 and Flash11 for Windows 7 64bit = without effect, FF still hangs on my HP Compaq 6510b laptop.

PPT with embedded MP4 videos not being improted as a playable video - how can I make the MP$ play as a video?

I have a PPT slide presentation that has embedded MP4 videos (captured using SnagIt) in the presentation. When I import and convert, all my PPT slides convert with animations intact, but the videos are not playable and appear only as a 'static' slide.... I'm messing around with the trial version of Captivate hoping it can do what I think it can (like what I just described here) and am trying to cost-justify the purchase of this package to my management team -but I have to make sure it can do what we want it to do first - so far, no good - but I think I'm probably just missing something...any tips or suggestions?

Hi there
One way to accomplish your goal would be to use what I call: The Camtasia Approach
Basically you play the presentation and use Captivate to record it. Camtasia operates that way with PPT.
Cheers... Rick

Update fails and Embedded Youtube videos doesn't load

Problem 1: All update (beta, RC) fails in my computer. After download, when I click in apply button, Firefox closes and a process "firefox.exe"starts with (~2.800 kB) and nothing happens. Every time and every versions in my 2 computers (Vista and Seven). It occurs since ~10 version (9, 10, 11... i don't remember.
When I download the exe from Mozilla, the update works.
Problem 2: Since the ~10 version or flash version, mostly embedded youtube videos doesn't load in firefox (in all pcs again). In youtube site it works, but embedded only shows a black square. In Google Reader it occurs all the time.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version of the Firefox installer.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Viewing Web Page With Embedded WMV Files

If a web page has embedded Windows Media Video files on it, will Safari on the Mac, whether version 4 or older .... display them ... including player controls.
Thank you,
Sarah

Thank you. Should have mentioned I was aware of this product.
Follow up question .... I assume therefore that neither Safari 3 nor Safari 4 will display embedded WMV files from a web page. Correct?

Bug with embedded youtube videos?

hi, I've done a fair amount of searching around and haven't
found any solutions.
What happens is when I browse to a page with an embedded
youtube video, I get the 'A script in this movie is causing Adobe
Flash Player 9 to run slowly.'. I get the same error with either FF
2.0.0.13 or IE 7.0.5730.11, using Flash 9.0.124.0. Naturally
everything in the browser grinds to a complete halt.
The weird thing is this only happens if I scroll down the web
page to where the video actually is embedded. Otherwise everything
works fine.
Using other Flash applications, watching Youtube, and so on
are fine as well.
I'm on Windows XP SP2.
This only started happening in the last week or so.
Any ideas?

AirPlay fails on embeded youtube video (livestream) from New iPad to Latest gen AppleTV.

Hello,
I just purchased a new Apple Tv (03/24/2014) and tried to airplay an embeded youtube video from Safari and Chrome on my iPad and received an error. Airplay is working fine from the youtube app, and other apps as well. I've done some poking around and wasn't able to find any concrete answers as to why it's not working. Apparently this used to work prior to sometime in August (not sure exactly when) of 2013. Any helo would be much appreciated are this is one of the main reasons I purchased the Apple Tv.

Hi IntroMike.
Take a look at this URL in the XBMC forum.
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=179961&page=36
This discusses the issue you are seeing. It seems to be specific to the Youtube app and some embeded videos.
There is no known solution at this time apparently.

Error with embedded Youtube videos on website pages

On websites that have embedded Youtube videos, I no longer see a still shot of the video , nor do they have a button to allow me play them. Instead I see I message in the box where the video should be, that says "a plugin is needed to display the content". This must be related to a setting I messed up, because a few days ago I didn't have this issue. I would appreciate some guidance. Thanks

Best app for viewing pptx with embedded mp4 videos?

Hello,
I have some large powerpoint presentations (25-500MB) that have some embedded videos in that I would like to view on my iPad3.
The powerpoints are in .pptx format (MS Office 2010) and the videos are in .mp4 format.
Can anyone suggest any apps that can open and view this type of file combination? (large, .pptx, .mp4)
Thanks

Well, if they are important photos i would recommend getting a real camera, the best you can afford. The iPhone camera is good for a cell phone camera, but can't match even simple point and shoot cameras. There are several reasons:
-The lens is too small
-The image sensor is too small
-No optical zoom (digital zoom is a fraud; all it does is crop when you take the picture, rather than after)
-The flash is too weak for more than about 5 feet
-No white balance tuning
-No image management
All of these features are resolved in pocket sized cameras from Canon, Nikon, etc. But again, if the pictures are really important to you and quality matters, get an SLR with optical quality lenses.

QT video export with Embedded QT video

I had a whole series of problems in exporting my slide show to QT after I embedded a QT movie. Transitions got messed up. Some bullets stopped working and I have been trying to debug for 3 hours. I saw a number of closed but unresolved posts on this so I wanted to post my findings here.
What I finally figured out was that the problem was that I didn't properly set the "start video" and "stop video" in the Build in and Build out functions. Once I did that all worked. I have a sound track through out and sound on the embedded QT and it all works fine.
I hope this is helpful to someone. Now I am going to take some aspirin and go to bed.

No, this would have required Apple to build a Flash video encoder engine into Keynote's export module. You'd think if it was already a flash movie, it would work, but it doesn't, so assume they just didn't bother building in support for embedding flash movies into a flash export.

Export a presentation in quicktime with a long video

Hello,
I have the latest revamped Keynote program. I have two slides, on the second I've put a video hai is about 30 minutes. When I export it on quicktime the second slide with the video only last 5 seconds and so the video is cut at the beginning. How can I solve this ? Thanks

thanks for the replies.
It really helps me a lot solve the issue.
Although the actual issue with the printing company my client currently using.
"If your logo is square or rectangular, you can choose to fit the artboard to the logo (the art) and then save out the PDF. If it is not a square or a rectangle, the PDF will always show "white" around the logo."
I didnt able to find out any option under edit/view menu. there are "fit to window" and another think cant remember...but no fit to art work...
any way my problem is solved now.
thanks guys.

Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

Possible to view presentations with embedded clips on the ipad from an external wifi drive?

Hello,
first of all I am happy to have joined this community, my name is Chris from Germany.
I am wondering if this setting is possible:
I have bought an external wifi drive (Seagate Satellite Goflex) as well as the iPad4.
I am giving lectures (powerpoint and keynote presentations containing lots of embedded video clips).
Now I would like to show these presentations with my iPad connected to the Wifi drive.
You have to download a special Seagate App on the iPad to be able to see the data on the external wifi drive - I have managed to open the powerpoint files in the App (unfortunately keynote files are not supported by the Seagate App) but when I open them with keynote or goodreader the embedded media will always be removed.
Is this the end of the story or are there any solutions (i.e. with other hardware devices or software)?
Have a nice New Years Eve and thanks in advance,
Chris

yes and no ...
I have figured that out:
First of all: you can`t just view presentations on an external device without importing them into your iPad (at least when you plan to show slides with embedded clips) - goodreader, filebrowser, dropbox ... just show you "static" slides.
When you import a ppt-presentation into keynote all the hyperlinks, embedded clips ... are gone - no chance.
But ... in keynote you are able to "embed" video clips when you drag and drop them directly into the slide alowing "copy video into the document" as well (that is "vital") - the files are getting larger but you don`t have to add a clip when you transfer it to another device (i.e. the iPad) - they are "fixed" in the document..
Now seagate goflex has the problem that you just can`t open/view keynote presentations - but there is a solution:
hacksatellite firmware. When you install that you can go into keynote, activate WebDav, import a keynote file from the external drive, edit it and send it back to the external drive - so: import (can`t live without that), show or edit the presentation, copy it again to the external device and delete the presentation in the iPad (to save storage) is the way you can get the optimum from the iPad at the moment.
Correct me if there is any other more comfortable solution.
Thanks for your reply Daniel,
Christian

Embedding a WMV video in WebHelp

I'm trying to embed a WMV video in a WebHelp project using RoboHelp 8. I can insert the video through Insert > Multimedia/Demo just fine, and it plays correctly. However it doesn't have the critically necessary controls for the media player. I did find the article entitled Creating and Customizing Online Documentation with RoboHelp, but like most RoboHelp documentation, it is so old (version X5!) and narrowly focused, that it is virtually worthless. It relies on TrueCode which, as nearly as i can tell, it long gone in RoboHelp 8. I've tried changing the <param name="ShowControls" value="0" /> line in the HTML to a value of 1, but, true to form, RoboHelp 8 just promptly changes it back to 0. No matter how much I fight with it, I can't make RoboHelp leave the value at 1. (There are so many other circumstances where RoboHelp will not leave things the way I put them. Is there any way to get rid of this behavior?)
Is there any way to make RoboHelp show the media player controls? I can't imagine why it wouldn't default to showing the controls since the media player is absolutely worthless without the controls. Or, do I have to completely forego using video within RoboHelp projects? If I do, I can gurantee you that i will forego RoboHelp altogether.

Hi Willam
I do dislike it when RoboHelp insists on changing my tweaks in WYSIWYG mode. But it's like a friendly old dog. You gotta love it slobber and all.
One suggestion here would be to only edit pages containing the tweaks using something like Notepad. I think you already addressed that. What hasn't been mentioned to my knowledge, is that one has the ability to insert an inline frame to present content from another page. So my thought here was that one could use RoboHelp for managing all the content save the pages with the videos. And for those, you would present using inline frames.
Cheers and happy Friday all! Rick

How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

I'm seeking a little guidance -
How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
overlap but not much.
The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.
