Problem embedding video

I have a video in avi format and I go to insert-plugin to put
it in my page.
When I go to "preview in browser" I can hear the voice but
there is no picture.
Also, preview prompts me to allow active controls first.
If I upload the video and make a link to the video in my
page, it works, but it's slow, because windows have to open it
first.

I see - you are embedded a *.wmv file -
<div align="center">
<embed src="166-2008.avi" width="300"
height="300"></embed>
</div>
but the youtube video is a FLASH video.

QT Pro - having problems embedding video into html (IE7)

I have just upgraded to Pro as I need to offer clients some video content on my website. Initially, I want to show still-image slide shows with an audio track. I can make these, and export them for the web no problem. But... I can't get them to work in my html and need some advice.
The poster embeds fine, but when you 'Click to play movie', the page keeps loading with an error, and the movie won't run (in the html page). The larger [17Mb!!!!] 'source' movie runs fine, but if I click on the 'reference' movie (which is in the same folder as the 'source', and just 1K big), I get an error message (202... something about bad atom!). Could this be the cause, I wonder?
I have set up a .js file as per the QT help advice, but I just can't seem to crack this one. Anyone got any ideas? Brain's numb now... and I don't really know where else to look!
Any help would be seriously appreciated... TIA

Your camera is supported and the Apple "Geniuses" dropped the ball telling you that you needed to make an additional purchase.
Your camera records in "standard definition" MPEG-2 format.
I don't know why you're not getting images (or sound, I guess). Try testing the camera under a different User account (helps troubleshooting).

Problem embedding video in Muse

After pasting embed code from You Tube in a Muse page, the video will play in Preview, but not when the site is exported to HTML. The page is blank. I also enabled "privacy enhanced mode" as suggested by Adobe. Any suggestions?

If you export your site and just open the HTML files in your browser, you'll be viewing the site over the 'file' protocol. Youtube embed code only works over the 'http' or 'https' protocol.
If you've uploaded/published your site and you're still having this problem over http, share the URL so we can check it out.

Problems embeding video for quicktime

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.
Hi, I am trying to embed quicktime video into a web site. When I view it, it shows the quicktime logo for a long time. Then when the movie downloads, then the movie shows up. I would like to be able to watch it when it is downloading. Here is the code I got off of apples site.
<embed src="sample.mov" width="320" height="256"></embed>

Hi,
That did help some, thanks. the problem I am having now is, the code that I am using works with one video, but not another one. The videos are both .mov files and the same size. One video plays when it is downloading, the other shows the quicktime icon until it is downloaded then plays. Why would this happen? The only thing I am changing is the src.
Here is the code I am using. Thanks!

Problem embedding video in Pages and exporting as epub

I'm using pages 09 ver 4.2 (1008). I' trying to embed video (.m4v and .mov) I can't find the checkbox 'Copy audio and movies into document'. The user guide says it's an advanced option on the 'save as' but my version of pages runnning on Lion 10.7.4 doesn't have a save as'- just a 'save a version. It apparently does auto save).
I'm using Book Proofer to send the epub generated by Pages to my iPad. The strange thing is that some times the videos work and then I add another and one that used to work don't even appear when viewed on my iPad.
Any one had experience adding video (eother m4v or mov files using pages and exporting as a epub?
Thanks for any insights!

As far as I know, the Keynote export does not support video, only images and text (and, new with version 3, mp3 audio!).

No embedded video (empty bar) in FF ver. 15 32bit. Sound plays. Flash ver. 11.4.402.265. No problems in IE. Windows 7 x64.

Installed FF 15 (32 bit) on a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition (x64).
Everything works fine except the embedded video.
The video clip thumbnail is shown, when clicking on the clip the sound plays and the right-mouse click shows flash player options, but no video is shown (empty bar).
No problems on original YouTube or other flash video sites were detected.
No crashes detected.
Please, advise.

1) Started the FF in Safe Mode.
The embedded video works normally (!!!)
2) Re-started the FF in normal mode - got the problem.
3) Disabled ALL plugins and ALL add-ons (except the flash player) in Normal Mode - got the problem (once again, ALL plugins / add-ons were disabled).
Safe Mode - everything works.
Normal Mode - problem occurs (with no relation to disabling plugins / add-ons).
Looks like there's something built-in FF which has the problem with showing embedded video normally in FF Normal Mode.

Embedded Video Audio Sync Problem

I have been exporting Flash Video from Adobe Premiere
Elements 3.0. I import the .FLV into Flash 8 as embedded video. The
published .SWF works fine, audio and video start in sync and stay
in sync, but about 3/4 through the video, audio stops.
This occurs no matter how short or long the exported clip.
I did my best searching through these forums, looking for an
answer to this issue, but have had no success.

Do you need to embed the FLV file in the SWF file? I would
recommend playing the FLV as an external file. If you need to use
embedded video, make sure the frame rates are identical (SWF and
FLV). I can't remember if Premiere Elements enables you to output
with Raw audio for FLV files, but Flash 8 (or CS3) will recompress
an embedded video's audio track on publish/export--so, try to use
Raw if you can to avoid recompression. This might have something to
do with your problem too, the recompression of the MP3 audio track
in your original FLV when re-exporting as embedded video in the
SWF. (Your audio stream setttings in the Publish Settings control
the quality/recompression of your FLV output when embedded in the
SWF.)
HTH.

Having Problems Embedding Vimeo Video

Hello I'm having problems embedding an vimeo video onto my website.
I have used this same method for the last two year but for some reason the last few days it won't let me do it.
which has resulted with me reinstalling Dreamweaver twice resetting the preferences.
the problem started originally the program wound not link to animated Gif files so i reinstalled the program after a lot of messing around.
this seems to do the trick but as a result the program won't embed vimeo video.
I've been going the standard way about it.
Draw an Ap Div tag clink inside got to code page and paste the embedding code into the place where the cursor is.
which it looks ok in the design view then in live view the video does not appear. its same with safari and with Crome the div tag appears but no video in the tag and a message saying the file directory found not be found.
i would be really grateful if someone could help me out with this.
its totally baffled me and all the online help is very poor for this problem.

Yeah mytaxsite i think thats a good idea im a little new to this as you probley can tell.

Problems with embedded video

Thanks Dave
Re the no controls in SWF problem, I did try adding the SWF resources. Camtasia places all the products of production in a folder, I loaded the main swf as the media and went Add Resources and added everything else, but still no controls appear when it runs. Camtasia has Preview option available at the production stage and I ran this and it showed controls.
Re the clip extending beyond window problem, Is there some way of posting a picture of the troublesome window? I tried a few tests. Firstly I embedded the clip with floating window and the default window size (320 * 240). It ran fine (although the clip was way too small) with the clip centred in the window, black bars on the right and left between the clip edge and the window boundary, with clip extending to the top and bottom of window. Next I doubled the window size, everything OK again but clip too small. I trebled the window size, still OK. When I set the window at four times default size (1280*960) the problem occurred. It looks exactly like the clip is extending beyond the right hand border of the window. You can see the windows’ X (close window) button on its to right corner, but it’s about an inch (to the left) in from the clips top right corner. It looks like there may be some maximum window size.
Thanks again.
I am very new to embedded video so forgive my ignorance here. I am creating clips with Camtasia and embedding them in a pdf with Acrobat pro X. I have tried SWF and MP4. The clips are large so I have set them to run in a floating window. There are two issues:
Although I have set the Width and Height slightly larger than the clip, I get a black band up the right hand side and the clip appears to extend beyond the Right hand side.
No matter what settings I use, when I embed a SWF I get no controllers when the clip runs.

Thanks Dave

Re the clip extending beyond window problem I think I have worked out whats happening. The clip was definitely extending beyond the right hand edge of the Window. You can see the windows’ X (close window) button on its to right corner, but it’s about an inch in from the clips top right corner. However I experimented with various window sizes, smaller sizes worked fined but big windows created the problem. Then I noticed that when I moved the window, it is not fully floating on the desktop,as is the case with an avi loaded from a hyperlink, but floats in the pdf document. As I stretched the pdf's right hand edge (made the pdf window bigger) the extent to which the clip extended beyond the clip window decreased until it disappeared. I can understand that if the pdf window is too small you won't be able to see all the clip window, but something still seems a bit wrong here to me. If you have the pdf window maximised the clip appears centred in the clip window. If you drag the clip window to the right the window and clip remain together as they disappear beyond the pdf window. This is the behaviour I would expect to see in a smaller pdf window, it seems wrong that as you shrink the pdf window that the clip window shrinks in a manner which is out of sync with the shrinking of the clip itself, which is what happens. I can send a picture or avi if you like.
Thanks

Embedded video problem

I'm having trouble with both Safari and Firefox playing embedded, non-quicktime content. YouTube has become useless as all that comes up is a Quicktime logo with a question mark over it. I have the latest registered version of Quicktime and the latest free version of Adober Flash Player. I installed Flash and everything worked in Firefox, then when I opened the program later after quitting I got the same Q and ? on all embedded video pages I loaded. I'm near the point of throwing my iMac across the room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If I've done this once, I've done it 50 times, and still no QT in Safari...! Am completely stumped. Have latest QT, Flash Player, and OS X 10.4.10, and have followed all the hints given on this topic, and still no QT video. Sound works fine, and videos play fine in Firefox, by the way.

Keynote - problem with playback of embedded video

Hi All - I have embedded a .m4v movie in to my slide show (I 'dropped' it in). I check it - all looks fine as I want it to and I then record it. I export it as a Quick Time Movie.
But on playing the movie of the Keynote slide show after it has recorded, the embedded video just appears as a black square with no image and a few seconds of faint speech.
I have searched forums but a clear answer has not appeared.
Please advise me on what to do!
Thank You!

Hi Gary, well, things have now become a bit more complicated....... For some reason I can not locate the original project in iMovie...... (If you have any light to shed any light on that too - that would be great as I did nothing after Exporting. Assumed I'd saved it - though it automatically saves anyway - I thought.....)
So, I have had to import the already converted m4v back in to iMovie as an Event and then re Export as per your suggested H264.
Dropped back in to Keynote. Played the Slide Show. All fine. Recorded it.
Played it back and all there is, again, is a muffled sound track and a black box with nothing happening at all!
So, the glitch seems to be in the interface with the recording. It does, at ground level play within Keynote but the exporting and sharing is what I am requiring it for.
I really do need this film to work. Any further suggestions please?
Thank You.

Problems with embedded Video in Safari

I have an issue when I try to open an embedded video within either safari.
I can not open anything, and if the embedded video is Quicktime based, I just get the large 'Q' (Quicktime) sitting in the middle and no video.
Can anyone help or tell me how I fix my Plugins within the browser please?
Many Thanks
Gary

How to view/hear pretty much everything:
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

Embedded video sound problem

Hi all,
This is my first time here...I embedded a youtube video into
my yahoo 360 blog and while the video works fine, I cannot hear
sound...I've rechecked all my flashplayer settings..everything
seems to be in order. All my visitors can hear the sound fine.
I can hear the youtube videos on the youtube site.....just
not on yahoo 360 or myspace.com
Any ideas of what I could try?
Thanks,
aka

Found a solution... I saved my audio and video separately,
then embedded video but put audio in the timeline, now they play
together.
If anyone can point me to the pref that makes my exported
video only play 1x that would be great! i would like it to end on
the final logo and not return to the beginning....
Thanks!!

Embedded videos do not show up on certain webstites.

Embedded videos on certain websites (perezhilton.com) do not appear. I have downloaded Firefox's most recent update and that is when the problem started. I downloaded Google Chrome and the videos do appear and work fine on that browser.

You may have to install additional plugins.

Embedded videos in many websites won't open.

I have found that the embedded videos on many but not all websites won't open now when I'm browsing in Firefox. I am running 27.0.1. I have Adobe Flash Player installed so that's not an issue. As some examples of non-openers: Embedded videos in some of the news articles on Yahoo!'s home page; videos on the davidlynchfoundation.org site. I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on, but it didn't change anything. In many cases, their is a big empty space in the text where the video should be, i.e. there isn't any indication that there's a video there. In other cases, I click on the visible start icon, but the screen of the vid just goes to black.
When I switched to Safari, all of these embedded videos opened without a hitch. I'd rather continue with Firefox, but will have to switch to Safari if we can come up with a "fix" for this problem.
I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard. This is a new problem which I haven't experienced with Firefox previously.
BTW: I have only minimal tech skills.
Thanks for any advice/help you can provide.
Dave

Hi Yogidave,
It sounds like the videos are not loading properly. If there are not video controls, but there is a space for the video, this means that the item is loading, but the player is not loading.
In understanding what you tried:
I tried disabling the "Adblock Edge" add-on - it looks like this is no longer in the list of add ons that you have in the troubleshooting information, when you took this out, do the videos still leave space in the page where the video should be?
The examples you used: Yahoo homepage and the davidlynchfoundation: I know the latter uses an embedded youtube video with has its own video player that uses flash, as well at Yahoo. (I am not sure if all the videos are flash in Yahoo)
Since this is the case, can you please check your extensions to see if you have Flash installed or if you have it disabled? If so, please turn it on and visit the sites that are giving you issues to see if this resolves the problem.
This article has pretty simple instructions how to install the player if it is not there[[Install the Flash plugin to view videos, animations and games]]
The only other test I can suggest is to see if another type of embedded video does the same thing. For example, if you have netflix or hulu, see if those video players do the same thing.
I hope this helps. (also I tested those pages in beta and it loads just fine, you are not short of watching videos again in firefox)
