Prevent FLV download without embedding in SWF

I've got a site with quite a few videos. They're watermarked but I'm finding that they're being reposted to YouTube. Obviously, for legal reasons, I'd like to prevent this. My budget is small (nothing) and I'm having problems finding a media server host that is affordable and will allow me to host several GB worth of video files.
So, I'm looking for a way to prevent users from downloading my FLVs (or at least making it difficult for the average user).
Ideas? Advice?

If you specify a URL in the "browse.." field when creating a Rich Media Annotation, Acrobat will NEVER embed the video. It embeds the player widget and passes it the URL, so every time the document is viewed the user downloads or streams the video direct from the remote server.
Using Adobe software, Rich Media Annotations do not need any external software to run - Flash Player is embedded into Acrobat and Adobe Reader 9 and later, in fact even if Flash Player has been installed externally (as a browser plugin), the PDF file will NOT use it.

How to include xml file without embedding in flex web application?

Hi
I have a big XML file around 11 mb. I want to include this xml in my web application without embedding.
So anyone have idea to include.
Please suggest me any idea.
Thanks

If you don't want to embed the XML file into a SWF, then the SWF can download the XML file from the server at runtime when it needs it. But there will be a delay while that happens. Maybe it would be better to put the data in the XML file into a database and then access only the parts of it that you need.

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac

A collection of FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter for Mac
Are you prepared to download FLV videos from YouTube, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, and many other video websites to play on your Mac or portable players, or do some further editing with certain editors? In my experience, assuming you have this idea, you must take advantage of three kinds of tools, including FLV downloader, FLV player, and FLV converter to achieve the goal.
Of course, I am not speaking this to depress you, but to share my collections of these tools to show my kindness. Sure, just for people who have these needs.
At first, I’ll introduce you several FLV downloaders for Mac, I have tried all of them, and basically they can achieve my goal of downloading FLV videos online.
Free FLV downloaders for Mac:
Web Video Downloader for Firefox
Free Video Downloader for Mac
Free YouTube Downloader for Mac
I also know some free FLV players, and recommend them to you here, hope they can assist you to play FLV videos on your Mac smoothly.
Free FLV player, Mac OS X:
Adobe Media Player
Wimpy FLV Player
QuickTime, after installation of the Perian video plugin
SWF & FLV Player
CorePlayer
(Tip: the above pieces of software can easily be searched in Google, so I do not give you the links here. I’m sure you can get them with ease.)
Well, we have gone through the FLV downloaders and FLV players in the above passages, now it’s time to introduce you a FLV converter for Mac. This program I recommend is Pavtube FLV Converter for Mac, which can perfectly convert FLV videos to a wide range of video formats, so that you can do whatever you like with the resulted videos, such as playing on your iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry, PSP, Apple TV, etc. or exporting to iMovie, Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Express to do further editing, or doing something else as you like. But how to use it? You may ask me. Take it easy, a step-by-step instruction is involved in the following part.
1. Download, install and run this program
A sky-blue interface will be shown to you as follow:
2. Add files, set output format and destination folder
Input FLV files to it by clicking button “Add”, and select a format as the output format in the drop-down list of “Format”, meanwhile, you can press “Browse” to specify the destination folder or just use the path set by default.
3. Set advanced settings
Click button[b] “Settings”, the following interface will pop up. You can change the parameters like screen size, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate, etc. to optimize the output videos.
4. Convert
This FLV Converter for mac can definitely complete the conversion at a swift speed with excellent quality, also it do not have the problem of audio-video out of sync. Therefore you need not worry about these issues. Moreover, if you want to add watermark as your own logo or reserve your copyright, you can totally do it with this program.
Ok, the introduction to the three kinds of tools which you may need while dealing with FLV videos is over, sincerely hope they can deliver you useful information, because you know, it’s my original intention.

Hi Greg,
So if I understand correctly, your findings are:
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Flash Media Interactive Server = Jerky Video
Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Flash Media Interactive Server = Smooth Video
Flash Player 10.1.85.3 + Wowza = Smooth Video
And what about Flash Player 10.0.x.x + Wowza?
Also, if you could check the network traffic to confirm if it's Flash Player causing the issue or it is receiving it like that from FMIS.
Cheers

Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?
Thanks in advance

Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

Embeding a swf in another swf

Hello, heres what I'm looking to do:
I am trying to create a project completely in flash player,
however its very large (its basically a tutorial for a coding
language called "magic")
I want to seperate it out a bit, basically one main flash
file that acts as a menu system with buttons to send you to
different sections of the tutorial, and then I want to make a bunch
of individual flash files for each page of those sections.
How would I go about calling a swf from within a swf file, or
preferably embedding multiple swf files into the main swf file.
This would allow me to make a bunch of complicated timeline
animations without having a completely unmanageable single
timeline.
Or if you have another possible suggestion on how to more
easily seperate functions/animations I'm certainly open to other
idea's. Thank you in advance!

This is pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Create an
empty movieclip and place it on your stage. You can do this with
either code or by actually creating it in your library. Call it
holder_mc. position it where you would like your other movies to
load. Again you can do this by code or by physically moving it.
//This is how to do it with code:
//STEP 1 create your empty movie clip and give it your name/
place it in the next available level
_root.createEmptyMovieClip ( "holder_mc" ,
_root.getNextHighestDepth() )
//position the holder mc
_root.holder_mc._x = 50
_root.holder_mc._y = 50
//create a button and place it in the root - then attach code
that loads your external .swf into your holder mc
homeButton_btn.onPress = function(){
_root.holder_mc.loadMovie("home.swf") }

How to have rotated axis labels in charts without embedding fonts?

Hi all,
I am trying to have slant/rotated axis labels in flex charts to avoid clutter in cases of large number of sample points. It was fairly easy to do this using 'labelRotation' method in AxisRenderer but this involved embedding fonts [ causes my swf to increase in size by atleast a 100KB which in my case is very high ]. My question is.. Can this be done without embedding the fonts? Maybe with the use of labelRenderer? Any alternatives that would solve the purpose without increase in swf size are also most appreciated as I ve been struggling with this for quiet a while.
Thanks a ton,
Siva

Please check LabVIEW\Examples\picture\demos.llb\polar plot demo.vi
But it has no zooming and cursors.
Maybe you can modify that example and use XY plot instead of picture control. I mean for each function plot on the picture, you generate another function to replace it and generate XY data pairs.

Standard CJF font without embedding

So I installed all the language packs supported by Acrobat Reader 7. This installed 5 fonts, AdobeSongStd-Light, AdobeMingStd-Light, AdobeMyungjoStd-Medium, KozMinProVI-Regular and KozGoPro-Medium. When I use these font names, everything works just fine.
But I've noticed that other references mention that 7 fonts are installed: HanyangSystemsGothicMedium, HanyangSystemsShinMyeongJoMedium, HeiseiKakuGothicW5, HeiseiMinchoW3, MonotypeHeiMedium, MonotypeSungLight, SinoTypeSongLight. These names indeed seem to recognized as well, although I can't find them anywhere.
Where do these names come from? None of the 12 fonts are mentioned in the PDF reference (1.7, PDF32000-1:2008). When using CJK in PDF's which names should/can be used?
Regards,
Wiebe.

Thanks.
I understand that embedding fonts is more reliable, but it is also much more difficult. My understanding was that these language packs exist, so these fonts don't have to be embedded (to reduce file size)?
I get this idea form sources like http://www.pdf-tools.com/asp/faq.asp?s=&q=58 and many many other sites where these 14 fonts are called "standard". The previous link even mentions that "these fonts should preferably not be embedded in a document...". And also, PDF 32000-1, par 9.6.2.2 mentions "14 Special Fonts". It mentions that these 14 fonts shold be available to conforming readers. Aren't these fonts a at least a bit special? DynamicPDF also claims that the 7 CJK fonts don't need to be embedded: http://www.cete.com/Support/user-manual/DynamicPDFGeneratorForJava/Progrmming/FontsAndText /CJKFonts.htm
When I specify AdobeSong as font, and there is no language pack installed, Acrobat Reader will offer to download it. I think it won't do this for just any font, but I'm not sure about anything anymore. This font stuff is very complex...
If these 7 fonts are not in any way special, why do all these PDF creator tools refere to these exact same fonts?
I examined many PDF files, and AdobeSong is used a lot without embedding it. Is this really that bad?
Regards,
Wiebe.

Maybe your firewall or security software are preventing the download from finishing. You could try disabling them until you finish the download

How to prevent automatic download and install of Reader 8.1.2

Hi-
I have Adobe Reader 7.0.9 and I need to keep it as my default Adobe reader program and plug-in for some applications that I use.
Over the last week, Adobe reader 8.1.2 downloads automatically and installs itself in my business laptop (Win XP SP2) and replaces my 7.0.9 version.
Each time I uninstall the 8.1.2 and reinstall the 7.0.9. I ensure the option of automatic download and install is disabled in 7.0.9.
But it still happens I have for the xth time today the new 8.1.2 in my laptop.
Anybody knows what is going on ? And how can I solve this issue to keep my 7.0.9 version ?
Thanks.

After the download finishes, do NOT press the Install Now button. Try the following to remove the download from the device. Here's the procedure I came up with last time this happened with iOS 7...It may or may not work.
Re: Apple Forced iOS7 update on my iPad2 !
Afterwards if you succeed, block Apple's update server using the following method so it wont get pushed to the device again:
In your router's settings, set up a block (using Access Restrictions or similar in the router's web interface) to mesu.apple.com. This will prevent the devices from "phoning home" to Apple, checking for the update and getting the download pushed to it again.

Photo Downloader modifying embedded color profiles

When downloading files from a camera, Photo Downloader apparently modifies embedded color profiles. Even those pictures that had been shot using AdobeRGB have their profile replaced by some profile called "Camera RGB"... whatever that is.
Does Photo Downloader actually
b convert
to this profile or does it just
b assign
it?
Anyway, is there a way to prevent Photo Downloader from modifying embedded profiles?
Thanks!

This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         Drains the camera battery
         Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at http:// (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

FLV fil without Play bar

Hi
Is i possibel to insert an FLV file without the "Start" panel in the buttom of the movie ?

umm... right: flash applications, as mentioned. Not videos though; like the original post stated. There's really no need for you to attempt to justify your incorrect recommendation though.
@shocker,
It's not an incorrect recommendation. In some situations, SWF is the better choice. In other situations it isn't. Without a link to the page, neither of us can know for sure what the OP has going on. :-)
@steen,
Intrusive media on web sites is very annoying. If your media has audio, you really need to give people an on/off button and volume controls.

'pepflashplayer.dll' has downloaded without my permission.

My Adobe Flash settings (which must be edited online, for some stupid reason) are set to notify me if a download is available, but there IS NO SETTING for "do not download until I consent".
Norton has informed me that 'pepflashplayer.dll' has downloaded without my permission. How do I prevent Flash from downloading or installing updates without my permission? I would gladly grant it as soon as I verified that it really is a Flash update, but I am simply not comfortable with ANY software downloading or installing updates on its own, without the consent of the computer user.
How can I stop this from occurring?
Here is the Nortion file insight:

I helped launch Norton Insight - so I can provide a little insight here.
Insight identifies executables by making a digital "hash" of the file. It then tracks how that file behaves on your system - does it lead to crashes, does it use lots of resources, is it associated with potentially malicious behavior (such as downloading files without permission, changing security settings - about 400 different behaviors). It reports back Symantec - data it collects from 50 or 60 million users. This is what Symantec calls the file's "reputation". It uses an algorithm to rate the safety of the file based on behaviors, the file's source and on how many people use the file without showing signs of infection.
So insight is a way to detect malicious code - or files infected with malicious code, even files Symantec has never seen before.
If the file changes, even if one byte changes, the hash will no longer match and it will be considered a new file. So only 5 people are using that exact version of the file - but many other versions of that file could be used by many other people.
