Progressive Video Download

I'm trying to embed a progressive download using SWFObject to
avoid Microsoft insanity with IE.
I made a progessive download SWF in Flash using the FLV
Playback Skins. The page lives
http://www.prcsd.org/hiroshima2.html
Here">Here
the problem is that it doesn't show up. When I preview locally in
Dreamweaver it works perfectly. When I view it over the network
from the computer I created it on the FLV plays but the SWF
controls are not there. When I view it from another computer over
the network I get nothing. If you right click where the video
should be you can see that it sees Flash
If you go
HERE you can see
that using Dreamweaver Skins and Dreamweaver embed it works but
then I have the stupid MicroSloth stuff.

Hi,
Thank you for your input.
I create the videos in Adobe premiere and it is possible for me to set the key frame distance.
I encode with 30FPS. Do i need to set the key frame distance as 30?

  • HOW TO: Enable videos downloaded to my MAC to play on A-TV

    I have several videos downloaded to my MAC's hard drive that I'd like to play through A-TV. Is this a situation where I'd have to transfer these files to iTunes in order to play them through A-TV? Can it be done by syncing the file with A-TV? How do I do these things?
    I'm new to Apple-- be kind!!!

    If you can play a movie in iTunes but you can't sync it or stream it to Apple TV, select the movie and then choose Advanced > Convert selection for Apple TV. This will create a new copy of the video in your iTunes library that is compatible with Apple TV.

    Here is a quick and dirty explanation of why not to make your DVD with progressive video.
    This from Jeff Bellune author of:
    The Focal Easy Guide to Adobe ® Encore ™ DVD 2.0
    "The video that is stored on an NTSC DVD-Video disc is stored as 29.97 fps interlaced video. To view the interlaced fields as progressive frames (like through the component outputs of a DVD player that supports progressive playback), the player has to internally de-interlace the video before sending it out. So there is no advantage to rendering or transcoding interlaced source video as progressive if you are going to DVD-Video."
    Jeff Bellune has been a Technical Consultant to Adobe since March of 2003, including work on the previous version of Encore DVD. He is the owner of a digital production and post-production company, Bellune Digital Video Services, and an active presence on industry web forums.

  • FLVPlayback: buffer with progressive video?

    I've been searching around the web and coming up confused.
    I am using the FLVPlayback component to deliver
    progressive-download video in Flash 8. I want the component to
    download more video before it starts playing so the playback
    doesn't get ahead of the download and hang up.
    I would have thought FLVPlayback.bufferTime would do the
    trick, but I've read two things in the docs which seem to say not:
    1. "NOTE This property does not specify the amount of the FLV
    file to download before starting playback." (Does that mean it only
    specifies the amount of time to buffer, not the amount of the file
    to buffer?)
    2. "For a progressively downloaded FLV file over HTTP, there
    is little benefit to increasing this value although it could
    improve viewing a high-quality video on an older, slower computer."
    (Some of the sites I've found in my searching say bufferTime _does_
    make a difference using progressive video, but others say no.)
    So my question is, what is the recommended way to make sure
    enough file has downloaded before starting playback? Seems like a
    simple question, but also seems there's a lot of confusion
    surrounding this and I think the documentation is a little vague.
    Thanks for any advice!
    -Helene

    dzedward: I've got a few videos, all in the 1-3 minute range.
    I'm sorry to say I didn't understand your answer. I thought RTMP is
    streaming, and buffers to memory, and what I'm using is progressive
    download, which is something else.
    Nickels55: Your answer implies that bufferTime should work on
    progressive video. I'll give it a try. The default is not 1 second
    but .1 second (one tenth), which I suppose can't be enough! I'll
    try pushing it up and see what happens.

  • Progressive Video and IE errors

    I'm having some issues with progressive download videos
    playing in IE on windows. It works fine on a Mac in safari and
    Firefox. On PC it works on Firefox, but when I try IE I just get a
    blank screen. Embedded videos seem to work fine, but the
    progressive is not working out so well. Anyone else found this
    problem? Anyone have any solutions? Thanks

    Hey Edwin,
    Perfect, btw I am really impressed by the framework still gettting my head arround it but looks very promising!
    A Question:
    For synchronizing an progressive audio (no buffer trait) en progressive video element you think i'd better
    1. keep the synchronizedParallelelement and make an AudioBufferedElement &  AudioBufferedElementBufferTrait
    or
    2. solve it in the 'synchronizedParallelelement'
    Bedankt voor de pointers ;-)

  • Canon camera video download problems

    I have a canon S2 IS and have no problems with photo downloading to Iphoto5. The videos I shoot with the camera are a different story. some videos download and others never make it into Iphoto. I think it depends on the format I shot them in. The import label keeps going and going without anything happening. Any thoughts?
    Jeff

    Yesterday I used my Canon camera as a video camera. (Not by choice, but it was better than nothing.) I spent quite a while uploading video clips from my SD cards today. Yes, a 2-minute clip can take more than 3 minutes to upload. Here are some tips:
    Use a card reader. You do not want to rely on the camera's batteries during this process. I used my all-in-one printer as a card reader.
    Use Image Capture. Click "Upload Some." View the card's contents in list view, because it will show you the size in MB of each video clip. This gives you a relative idea of how long the upload may take.
    Upload only one video at a time.
    Ignore Image Capture's blue progress bar. It seems to go from zero to completely blue, with no in between. It does not indicate any movement or change.
    Use the Activity Monitor to see the Available RAM pie piece slowly shrink during the uploading. This shows you that something really is happening. You can also watch for the light on the card reader - if it blinks then the card is being read. My Mac Mini made no sound during the uploading.
    Be patient. Eventually the Image Capture "Downloading" info will close and a Finder window will open with the new file showing. Ten minutes is not unreasonable. I even had an 8-minute video that was over 900MB, that uploaded successfully. I just had to wait long enough.
    Play each clip in QuickTime to check that it is all there. If the upload is incomplete the clip will go white. My 8-min clip seemed incomplete at first. It played about 3 minutes, then went white. I closed it. In the Finder I saw the thumbnail file appear. When I opened the clip again, it was there in its entirety.
    Ignore any .THM files that get uploaded. They are just the thumbnails created by the Canon. You can trash them.
    Once all the clips were uploaded to a folder, I imported them into iPhoto 6. It only took a few minutes to import the whole folder of 15 clips. I like having them in iPhoto because their duration is displayed over their thumbnails.
    I don't know if iPhoto 5 handles these longer clips as well. If it doesn't like them, you can always save them in your Movies folder. This will make them accessible from iMovie and iDVD.
    I used to be able to import video directly from my card reader into iPhoto 6, even with clips up to 3 minutes long, shot with the same camera I used yesterday. I went back to 1Gig cards (no more 2Gig cards), and the problem did not resolve. I suspect the QuickTime update(s) after 7.1.3 have somehow caused the trouble with video clips. It seems slower and fussier this year compared with last year.
    Hope this helps.

  • Constroll video download bitrate

    Hi everyone,
    I have the following problem:
    I'm developing a portfolio site for myself and publish some
    video.
    For playback I use
    NetConnection()
    NetStream()
    in self-coded player.
    The problem is that during progressive load video does not
    play smooth and it's absolutely not possible to watch it unless
    it's fully downloaded. It's very annoying.
    Bitrate is quite small, around 500kbps (total size of each
    video file is usually around 5-10 Mb).
    What I though is that if I could limit download bitrate to,
    say, 600 kbps, I would get rid of these problems and would still
    have video downloading fast enough to be played on-line.
    Is it possible or what are the options?
    Thanx for the help!
    Cheers,
    Denis
    p/s/ buffering is 10 seconds I believe, but I doubt it has
    something to do with the problem.
    p/p/s/ web page is:
    www.red-art.eu
    you can check the problem on any video in the REELS category.
    p/p/p/s/ however, i'm not sure that solution exists, because
    vimeo.com seems to have the same problem
    (e.g.
    http://www.vimeo.com/1627220
    )

    Thank you for your reply, but I don't really get the point:
    1. I would like to limit user's download rate, but not
    determine it.
    Don't get why i need a preloader? In case I want to wait
    unless video is fully downloaded I can easily do it just by moving
    MOOV ATOM to the end of the file, but the point is to play it
    progressively (means while it's downloading).
    2. I use an onMetaData for other issues, that's clear that I
    can get a duration from it.
    3. is it the same as waiting video to be completely
    downloaded and then playing it? I think it can be done much easier
    with something like BitesLoaded and TotalBites without any timers
    and speed checking.
    But as I said, that's not a solution I'm looking for, I want
    it to be progressively playing smoothly while it is downloading.
    Maybe I'm missing your idea?
    Cheers,
    Denis

  • Why does you tube prevent music video downloads?

    I have figured out that music companies do not want you tube users to download videos to their hard drives or jump drives. Well, I want to. All the other videos work fine. I am using Firefox 18.0 with video download helper, and every time I download a music video, it says zero bytes. Zero byte download files, zero byte music video file. So I found the workaround to this problem to be save vid dot com, where I can enter the url to the music video I want to download and save it to my disk. Why does Firefox not allow this. Why does you tube not allow this. Money must be involved. Like I said, there must be some stupid reason why they don't want us to download their music videos. What's their problem. I just want to watch the video when I am offline, and save vid has saved me from getting angry again.
    All the other videos that do not have major sponsors download just fine, and it's sad that we have to find workarounds to stupid problems. Save vid allows you to save the you tube video without loading a spybot plugin that changes your home page and peppers you with ads, I'm glad they have it. I hope to save someone else the trouble.

    Actually, it is keep vid dot come, not save vid that i used, but both are legit websites that allow you to download videos from anywhere without a lot of hassle or unsafe plugins. Sorry about any confusion.

    I good video downloading software that I recommend and use, is the [http://www.freemake.com/free_video_downloader/ Freemake Video Downloader]. It is free and comes with a Firefox add-on.

  • Firefox updated, Video download helper no longer works, no error msg. I have uninstalled both Firefox and VDH, reinstalled, VDH still does not work, Why

    Video Download Helper does not work after most recent update. I have cleared cache and cookies, uninstalled both Firefox and the helper,that has not corrected.When Firefox does an update are the "vendors notified so they can see if their product needs changes in order to be compatible? This may sound like a stupid ?, but it makes sense tome. Telling me to download something else, in my eyes is not REALLY solving the problem.

    Don't uninstall 36. Just download and install 35 over top and you don't lose any data. I already did and everything works just fine. But I did remove VDH first.

  • 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!

    Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
    Yes that is correct.
    Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
    If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
    You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
    Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

  • How to insert paid video download on my Dreamweaver website

    Hi All,
    I would like to sell my documentary videos and other merchandise through my website.  The site has been successfully published for several years, so publishing it is not the problem.  I need to know what I must do to enable people to download something from my site, but pay for it first.  I have looked at e-commerce extensions for Dreamweaver, and am willing to go that route, but I don't understand the process of inserting a downloadable file on the site.  Is the video file just inserted like a PDF file and linked through an html link?  If I connect with PayPal and have access to their payment source, can I somehow insert my video download on my site without letting people download it for free -- they would go to PayPal and pay and then return to my site for the download? I am working on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and have Adobe CS3 Design Premium with Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc. and I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMMER -- I only work at the basic level in Dreamweaver and know enough to publish my site. Is there a better solution to this problem like another e-commer site for video downloads?  ITunes doesn't handle independent videos.  Thanks to all who reply.  Small Town Gal

    PayLoadz is a commercial solution.  They handle the digital downloads and process payments via PayPal, Google Checkout, etc... for a %.
