Putting .swf file on dvd

How do I put a .swf file onto a DVD? Can I do it using Final Cut 5.1.4 and DVD Studio Pro 4.1.2? Would it be better to use another program?

What I think your asking is how to play the content from a swf file within a Video DVD.
You would have to convert the swf file to a Quicktime file then encode that into mpeg 2 and import into DVDSP and author a disc.
Results are very poor quality video as you would expect from converting a highly compressed file an other two times.
I wont recommend any applications because the results are dreadful, you can easily Google for this and try testing.

  • Putting Extra files on DVD

    Hi,
    How does one go about putting extra files on a DVD. I want the DVD to play the video normally when it is put in a DVD player, but I also want a Quicktime file to be stored on the DVD so it can be accessed on a computer.
    Thanks

    You can build the videots/audiots files with DVDSP, then use toast or disc utility to burn these and the QT file to a DVD.

  • Putting .avi files onto DVD

    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question (and I can't seem to find any other threads about it), but I have a bunch of TV Shows in .avi format on my computer. I'd like to be able to place them on a DVD where I can simply watch them on my TV or through a DVD drive. Is there a way to do that with iDVD or is it iMovie that I need? Thanks for any help!

    I might be able to help...

    a post discussing playing .avi files. Download the divx component to enable Quicktime to play majority of .avi files. Anything that Quicktime still can't play can be played in VLC.
    I had 3 .avi movies, one widescreen, and couldn't burn them in iDVD. They previewed, tho, so I converted the widescreen into .mov using Quicktime (Pro only?). Quality was still good. Without converting the other 2 .avi files, I easily burned all 3 (1 .mov and 2 .avi) using iDVD.
    My theory is that iDVD can burn .avi files, just as long as 1)they play perfectly in Quicktime and 2)at least one .mov file is included in the burning.
    But I've no idea why this worked, and it was the only time I tried it, so it might not work. Although the 3 .avi files were exact same format (DivX 6.0)
    You can use an iPod converter, like iSquint, to convert any .avi file into iPod format, which obviously plays in quicktime. Just make sure H.264 is unchecked, since it degrades quality for TV viewing.
    oh yeah, iDVD burning and Quicktime converting takes really long! I had to leave my iMac on overnight once for each.
    Hope this helped
    peace

  • I'm trying to put a swf file on a dvd that will autostart using OS X

    I'm trying to put a swf file on a dvd that will autostart using OS X and Director MX.  I imported one swf file that has nested movie clips.
    Some of them play and some don't.
    Any suggestions?

    The swf file runs fine on a computer. But now they want me to export it as a .mov and put it  on a dvd that customers without computers can put in a  tv/dvd player. They want it to auto start. When I export it as .mov, QuickTime only plays the first 20 seconds and not all of the nested movie clips play. They don't want it to play in a QuickTime player. Do I need to upgrade to QuickTime Pro? Any suggestions?Thanks

    There is no autostart or autorun in OS X. Can you give more detail on the problem with the flash swf files?

  • DVD from multiple flash files shows "loading" across 8/600 swf files

    I got tossed into the middle of editing  a training dvd that is composed of several swf files.  I've made minor edits to content (spelling, grammer, etc), when I re-burn the dvd there are 8 files that display "loading" in blue upon opening (all files do this throughout the dvd) but with these particular files it never goes away.  It remains on the screen and visible underneath or behind the text.  Nearly 2 months ago, a round of edits was necessary and these same 8 files behaved normally.  Three of the eight files were not edited in either round, were fine on the last burn, and are now displaying the "loading" constantly. Would anyone have any suggestions to fix this?

    The DVD is throwing a bit of a twist into it. I'm assuming you mean data DVD first off and this is all executable projector based content?
    The best thing you can do to start is play the content in the Flash IDE so the debugger has a chance to show you any errors. Load the project and then run the debugger (CTRL/CMD + SHIFT + ENTER) and let us know if you see any errors show up. Chances are you're hitting a snag and it's no longer running code properly.

  • How to Put Controls on SWF File... then Export  to FLV

    Have a swf file that self plays.
    What I Need:
    I need to imbed this self playing 2 minute video clip with
    sound...but I want it to have controls on it and be paused. I want
    to use dreamweaver to place it in the web page but stupid
    dreamweaver only puts controls on a flv file NOT SWF's.
    How can I get a swf file, then add controls, then output to
    FLV so Dreamwemaver can put it on my page.
    I have Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, Flash CS$ but DO NOT KNOW HOW
    TO USE IT - Tried but failed miserably (it didnt even want to put
    controls easily on this...I tried for 30 min but couldnt break
    through. I have the CS3 Master Collection.
    Thanks
    All I want is for this video to play universally and nicely
    in a web page of mine...when will this stuff ever be compatable and
    transparent to use!

    For me, not. But yes I have to do this. Maybe I manual have a table which includes the y axis coordinates. X axis is dicrete then when I get the value 2 I will look at its y axis and take the coordinates of the y-axis corresponds to the table
    Is it difficult?

  • .swf file quality to dvd what is the magic path

    This has always been a struggle trying to get .swf quality to the DVD and on web. I thought that when Adobe bought flash this will soon be a peace of cake. That has not been the case and I’m still trying to find the magic path. I have recently up graded from premiere 6 to premiere pro CSF to get upgrade of Encore 2.0 and what I thought was the silver bullet .swf import possible to premiere I thought this will cut down on the number of compressions and give the .swf quality on the DVD and much better web based quality as FLV files. The current movie which is by the way a deadline pay the bills type project publish fine as a .swf and has great screen qualities. It is my understanding that the new mpeg codecs that come with this upgrade are the choice for best DVD quality and web production when I import the .swf the movie export works fine for a while then windowsexporter.exe stops working and the process quits. So I guess maybe vista windows thing on my laptop so I up grade on my XP desktop and the program will not run at all and keeps crashing. So I find out file is probably to big to process so I split it down into smaller portion in flash and try to import the new smaller files and get error message file screen size to big when it is set to 720x480. I try sending directly to encore as suggested and get encode stopped unknown error. I can get an windows projector .exe file to process thank goodness that is keeping client happy for now but need to go on line and to dvd soon with much better quality than I get when I can get the movie to process in AVI which is really bad quality and not acceptable to deliver. Thanks in advance for any help deadline May 12 DVD in clients hands so this is chrunch time I need a fix or work around.

    I don't think I understand what you mean by "SWF file quality" in relation to Encore.
    Are you authoring to DVD? All video in the DVD-Video format is compressed to MPEG-2. If you're using SWF (FLV, really) for you source video, then you are starting with a highly-compressed format to begin with and it will be re-compressed to MPEG-2 when the DVD is built.
    If you're not trying to use FLV for your source video, can you please explain the problem?

  • How do I put my wmv files to DVD so I can watch them?

    Ok, how do I put my wmv files on DVD so I can watch them?
    Would I have to convert it to an mpeg file ? If I do, what are good freeware software to use? Thanks

    You could try the free ffmpegX (http://ffmpegx.com/index.html), which is a highly flexible video converter/encoder (and I believe does WMV as well)... it does require the installation of some UNIX components, however I think this is done through the self-installer.

  • Putting QT Files onto a DVD?

    I have 4.7 gig, 120 minute DVDs, and need to compress 1 hour and 40 minutes of footage (I want to put the footage on my DVD as a QT file). Is MPEG4 the best way? If so, what settings do you recommend?

    I am off-loading some editing work to another editor. I have about 10 hours of documentary footage and want to give the editor QT files on DVD, rather than the original tapes. He is using Premier and doesn't, I don't think, have QT7. One suggestion was to create data DVDs, i.e. just drop the QT files right onto a DVD. Is the best thing to make sure the sequences I export are under 120 minutes and 4.7 gigs? Thanks.

  • I can't put swf or html files with external files like spritesheets on my website.

    Hello,
    I developed a small test-application for my website. I did this using Flash Builder and Starling.
    My website is created with Adobe Muse, if I try to place the SWF, it gives me an error. If I embed the .html file in an html-object, I get a blank screen.
    Every other swf I created that has no external files such as spritesheets works fine, I can either place it or embed in html.
    I have to say that I did not publish the website yet, as it is useless if I can't show my projects on it, but as I said the normal swf files work and the others not.
    Does anyone have a suggestion or solution?
    There must be one because there are a lot of Starling applications (e.g. Hungry Hero) that are embedded in a website.
    Many thanks.

  • DIV tags disappear when put over swf file background

    I am working on a site which has a swf movie as a background
    which fills the browser window(SWFobject). When I place DIV tags,
    which reference a CSS id and contain swf files as well, over the
    top (for absolute positioning, etc.) they disappear when previewed
    in a browser . Is there a reason that the swfobject always takes on
    top position in the browser? Do I need to change something in the
    SWFoject javascript file, in the code or within either the CSS file
    or the dreamweaver HTML code? Here is a link to a site that is very
    similar to what I am working on.
    http://www.pronghornclub.com
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so
    to speak,
    including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and
    Active X controls.
    This means that each of these will poke through layers. There
    is not a good
    cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but
    if you can be
    confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can
    use the Flash
    wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this
    properly!).

  • Does .swf file have to be in same folder as the .htm file that it is embedded in?

    I'm experiencing something odd that does not seem right.  I am trying to embed an .swf file on a web page.  I have the player file in a separate resource folder from the other files.  In the object tags data attribute value, I am able to have the .swf file be in another folder.  However, in the <param name="movie" value attribute, I am not.  Can anyone tell me why?
    <object id="Object1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../VideoResources/player_flv_maxi.swf" width="480" height="360">  THIS WORKS
    < param name="movie" value="player_flv_maxi.swf" />     this works if I put a copy of the .swf file in the same folder as the .htm file (but I don't want to)
    but this does not work if I put the .swl file in the a folder one level up (which I want to):
    < param name="movie" value="../VideoResources/player_flv_maxi.swf" />   
    Thanks for any ideas.

    I copied the value from data attribute value and pasted it into the value attribute value... 
    Here is the entire code for the <object> tag. 
    <object id="Object1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../VideoResources/player_flv_maxi.swf" width="480" height="360">
           <noscript><a href="youtube" _mce_href="http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-YouTube-Download.htm">youtube">h ttp://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-YouTube-Download.htm">youtube video downloader</a></noscript>
           <param name="movie" value="../VideoResources/player_flv_maxi.swf" />
           <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
           <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
                       <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                       <param name="quality" value="high" />
