Quick start progressive download

I purchased the Elgat Turbo.264 hardware encoder to speed up encoding for podcasts/webcasts. The problem is that the files do not quick start progressive download. Is their a way of tweaking the quicktime file to be progressive without reencoding the whole file? I used Lillipot but does not completely resolve the issue

QuickTime Pro and Save As will restore fast start properties to any file that has lost them.
This will put the file into a .mov container so you may need to edit page code to point to this new file and upload it to replace any other extension.
No re-encoding and the .mov container will still work for Podcasts, iTunes and iPods.

QuickTime Fast Start Progressive Download not Working - Help!

I can't figure this out - I have a large number of training movies created by a contractor. After uploading them to my website, I thought QT would start once a certain amount of data was downloaded. So, being new to QT, I thought that the videos should be exported with the "Prepare for Internet Streaming." checked with either "Fast Start" or "Fast Start & Compressed Header" selected. Well, I tried both and no luck. File sizes are between 8 MB and 40 MB. I discovered another site that has a 80 MB file that starts no problem, so obviously I am missing something! Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Simon

Thanks for your purchase, Simon.
You should look at the part of my PDF that discusses QuickTime Media Links. These are text based files that will download with a click on the link and then can control the QuickTime Player application.
Your Web page layout could remain the same with these .qtl links and your QuickTime files could enter "Presentation" mode (full screen, if you like). They will launch the QuickTime Player app as the tiny .qtl file has downloaded or the .qtl download is double clicked.

QuickTime 7.x - Progressive Download (Fast Start)

Hello,
I have a MOV file that I want to make available on a web site. Currently when the user clicks it it simply downloads the full thing before it ever starts up Quicktime.
I read the documentation that says it must be created as a fast track via the quicktime software. I did this, but I get the same result.
Do I HAVE TO embed the player to get the progressive download ability? I want to to work just like WMV files from Microsoft where it opens up the media player and starts playing after buffering. I dont' really want to embed it in the page either.
Thanks for your time.

If you don't use the proper html tags (object and embed) you'll get some wacky results.
"Virgin" PC viewers (those that have never opened a QT file) will probably get the option to "download" your .mov file. Or it may open in a new browser window as a window full of gibberish (MIME settings error).
Without the proper tags your file will never fast start because you're not sending the proper instructions to the QT plug-in.
The tags also allow you (the owner) to set some other properties in the file such as "autoplay" "target" and even allow you to display your movie at a different dimension than the original ("aspect").

I was abroad when I purchased this app and during download, my internet connection was lost. At the time, Apple was still offering the e-chat, so I did that and the man was very helpful and it was a quick fix, so my download button turned green again, and I was able to begin the download. BUT during the download, I was kicked offline once again, and I decided to wait until I was back in the USA. I will go in to an Apple store and ask assistance, but if there is something I am missing, I'd like to try that first. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films, or if you have problems with the re-downloaded version, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

S10-3 Wifi Problem in Quick Start OS (Splashtop)

I just got my S10-3 on last Saturday, and I found out that the wifi is keeping disable in Quick Start OS. No matter I press Fn+F5 or switch the wifi button, the Wifi cannot be enabled in Quick Start OS. But everything is alright in Windows.
I guess if it is the problem of the driver issue in Quick Start OS? As all known that Wifi card driver is a main issue in Linux system (Quick Start OS is actually built by Splashtop in Linux), and so the wifi chipset is still not ready in releases. By the way, my Wifi chipset is Atheros AR9285.
Anyone got the same problem for that??
Solved!

Hi and welcome,

FLV Progressive Download SeekNavCue

Hello! I have been working on this issue for a couple days
now and cannot seem to find the resolution. I have a flash movie
that includes three FLV files that are progressively downloaded. I
have no problems playing them, but when I get to a certain point in
one, I want to switch to the other, but start the second FLV at a
certain cue point. The test works when I play from my hard drive,
but Since the files are progressive download, they don't jump to
the correct cue point when viewed online. Any suggestions on what I
should try next? My code for the FLV switch is below:
This is on the first frame (checks to see if the root var is
set to 1, if not then it should jump to a specific point in the
FLV):
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
var pam_vid:FLVPlayback;
if (_root.link == 1) {
pam_vid.play();
if (_root.link == 2) {
pam_vid.seekToNavCuePoint(repeatStory);
pam_vid.play();
This script is put on the last frame (detects when the video
file is done playing, then jumps to frame 1 and checks the root
var):
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
stop();
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
pam_back.addEventListener("cuePoint",listenerObject);
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(infoObject:Object):Void {
if(infoObject.info.name == "cue2"){
trace("cue2");
_root.link = 2;
gotoAndPlay(1);
thanks,
Christy

It's a snap with Flash 8 Pro. You just attach a skin to the
FLV with all the components (such as volume, mute, play, and pause)
and your good to go. Not sure how it works with earlier versions of
Flash.

Quick Start Guide Info not working. Need info for Job Interview

I am brand spanking new to Java but I have a job interview next week and this is one of the topics I need to learn a little about. Here is my issue if someone would kind enough to help.
I downloaded and installed SDK and JDK I am going through the quick start guide I am using the Quick Start guide that comes with Application Server PE 9. The quick start guide requires you to download a "Tutorial Bundle" that comes with the Java EE 5 Tutorial.
The Quick start guide then tells you to access certain files that are in the Tutorial bundle. For example it wants me to go to /Samples/Quickstart directory in the tutorial bundle and look for the hello.war. Unfortunately that directory and file does not exist (there is an /examples/web/hello1 directory but no hello.war
Long story short is there anyway to find a Tutorial Bundle that actually works with the software that I downloaded? Thanks in advance for your help

I found another guide. Thanks anyway

Flash video Progressive Download Performance

I've rendered a series of Flash Video movies selecting the
HIGH Quality, Progressive Download settings.
Even with a cable modem connection speed of 8 Mbps, these
movies choke badly on playback.
http://www.reikoproductions.com/
I don't imagine the SWF publish settings have anything to do
with this, but I have them set to JPEG Quality 100, and the
Compress Movie checkbox is UNCHECKED.
I am presently rendering a set of movies at MEDIUM Quality
settings, but I'd like to know why these movies choke like this,
with this fast of a connection. I don't know much about the web
hosting server these are posted on, but could it be a slow server?
Something in the HTML code I've missed?
Thanks!

This is an incorrect question. Length itself (duration) does
not
matter. Only bitrate does. Check your video bitrate and
evaluate your
channel bandwidth.
Progressive download has two big disadvantages against
streaming:
- it takes all available channel bandwidth regardless to the
video
bitrate. It may cause problems at the client side;
- it does not allow quick navidation across the video unless
it will
be completely downloaded to the user's computer.
If you'd like to avoid such problems and you have a
webhosting with
PHP (or like that), then you could try to use so called HTTP
Streaming, which resolves both of these issues without
special server
usage. You can find some information here:

Tomcat Quick Start?

I would like to set up a java Servlet training & development environment on my home computer which is an MS/Windows 2003 Server edition running IIS. I only have one, MS Front Page web page up and I'm willing to scrap that because I don't have much invested in that and I can easily redo it. I'm using the current releases of Java J2SE, J2EE, and Win/2003. I want to use the current version of Tomcat.
I have Java up and running; I want to 'quick start' the Tomcat installation so I have something to look at as I work my way through its documentation while multi-tasking myself with my Servlet studies.
My questions are:
1 Are there functional and/or performance issues between running tomcat as a server or as an IIS plugin in my target environment? I don't mind going either way for now. I just don't want to be struggeling with tools while I'm learning Servlets.
2. Specifically, which Tomcat down load file should I use? The descriptions on the download page are a bit cryptic for a Tomcat newbe like me.
3. In the event that I'm off topic with this, is there a Tomcat forum as good as this one where I should be directing these questions?
Thanks
Jim

1) Test environment? No... except that you'd be running as a server vs as an IIS plugin.
The difference is that IIS would handle all the contents of a site except the JSP/servlet stuff, whereas Tomcat standalone would do all that. For the most part it doesn't matter, unless your site needs to take advantage of some special IIS features.
For the purposes of learning JSP/servlets, I would stick with Tomcat standalone, because the IIS part has nothing to do with it. You can worry about deployment on IIS, or Apache or other servers later.
2) Not sure what you mean.
3) There's a mailing list for Tomcat, I think.

Problems with infinite/jumping buffering using Strobe MP with progressive download MP4

Hello,
I am fighting with the Strobe Media Player and an MP4 video that it is supposed to load and play with progressive download.
The video is playing perfectly fine, except if it needs to buffer somewhere on the middle (the first "buffering" works correctly). If it happens, either it will stay buffering forever - but the buffer bar keeps filling up -, or after several seconds it will jump the video some seconds ahead, and start buffering again, repeating this until the end.
I have tried a lot of different scenarios, with different options on the buffer settings of Strobe, and different encodings on the video, without results.
The video can be seen here: http://www.webfuel.pt . It's currently encoded for 750 kb/s, using VBR 2 pass, web optimized.
I am testing using a bandwidth limiter (Service Capture), and limiting to around 200 kb/s. When the video reaches the buffer, the problem happens.
What can be the cause of the problem? A setting on Strobe? The video encoding? HTTP server configuration? A bug on Strobe?
By the way, just a fast question. For the current use case (the video you saw on the site, autoplaying), which bitrate would you consider acceptable? And considering the purpose is Web/Progressive downloaded is it recommended the use of VBR, or should I use CBR? Is there anything more relevant when encoding a video to be deployed on the web?
Thank you,
João Saleiro

We have solved the problem by creating our own video player and applying the technique described here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1079935/actionscript-netstream-stutters-after-buffering
In another words, when the buffer gets empty, we pause the player, and we create an eventlistener that checks when the buffer is full to resume the playing. The result can be seen our site.
This is, IMHO a big problem in the Strobe Media Player that made us loose around 2 days researching, and can be easily solved with the above technique.

How to Load Progressive-Download Video just when I press Play?

I have set the Progressive-Download video instead of Streaming-Video (because my webserver provider "aruba.it" doesn't offer
streaming videos), in Flash CS4 Professional, and exported to Dreamweaver CS4.
I have also inserted the HTML code in Dreamweaver CS4 to enable FullScreen Playback of Flash .flv Videos.
Now I have a problem:
- When the webpage loads into Internet Explorer 7, it take much time to load all the videos at same time!
Thus I want this:
- I want that the videos start to load just when I press the Play button, individually, not at same time.
- I don't not want that start the load immediately when the webpage opens in IE7.
- I want that the videos start to load content in the same manner of YouTube videos, just when I press play.
How can I do?
What is the HTML code that I should insert into DreamweaverCS4?
I have seen this help page:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.html#lo ad()
At Chapter "Public Methods" I have seen this "load" function:
"Begins loading the FLV file and provides a shortcut for setting the autoPlay property to false and setting the source, totalTime, and isLive properties, if given..."
Can be useful this function?
Horsepower0171.

Excuse me, I am a beginner user of FlashCS4.
OK!
StepByStep:
My site is http://www.cavallodario.it. Please see the third top section called "Sezione 3D">Maya>the last bottom video on the page is published as Streming video (I think)...
There, are all the videos.
I have understood that YouTube video is http streaming.
Instead, in FlashProCS4, I have seen a second Option after ImportVideo Menu (is Flash Media Server streaming?):
1) "Sul Computer" (on the Desktop, local); NOT CHECKED
2) "Già distribuito su un server Web, Flash Video Streaming Service o Flash Media Server"; CHECKED and selected the URL: http://www.cavallodario.it/filmati_Maya/flv/Wagon_01_PAL_Letterbox.flv
> Next > SkinBar with Fullscreen Button (called "SkinUnderPlayStopSeekFullVol.swf") > Next > End.
But I have a doubt if this is a streaming function:
-After published the webpage via FTP with Dreamweaver, in IE7 browser the loading progress bar appears immediately, and loads the video when the webpage appears, not when I press Play Button!
Why this?
How I can do to load the video just when I press the Play button?
- I have seen the "NetConnection / NetStream" classes in the FlashCS4 Help, but I am a confused beginner user and I don't want write an ActionScript code to build a custom navigation bar.
Please response me!
Thanks!

No progressive download for H.264?

I was encoding a 6 minute video for web delivery in H.264 and it appeared that there is no provision for encoding for Fast Start or other setting to allow progressive download. The 6 minute video compressed in H.264 to about 30MB and was only downloadable off our web host as a full download. This required about 20-25 seconds on cable modem. Not a satisfactory result!
Does anyone know how to set for progressive download? I had the same experience when encoding into the variations in QuickTime.
This is crazy. If this is not currently possible, does anyone know if Adobe is taking steps to remedy? Is this remedied in CS4? I have heard reports of excessive crashing in Premiere CS4 so I have been reluctant to upgrade.
Regards.
Jeff

For a meaningful comparison, would you not have to view the same video,
encoded at the same bit rate for each format and in the same frame size and
frame rate?
I am not the expert here, but it seems to me that this condition would
have to be met to farily compare. Easily done of course if you provide your own
video for comparison, and that is exactly what I am trying to do. Can QT
Pro output an H.264 in MPEG-4 as well as QT wrappers?
I am going to experiment with both formats as well as Real Media and
Windows Media at similar settings. I do not have a program to simply encode
swf's without taking a few extra steps. It is cumbersome. To my knowledge,
flv's need to be embedded into a web page or otherwise incorporated into a swf
to be widely viewable. While I have a few players which can play flv's
directly, these are not as widespread as QuickTime or Real Player. Not sure,
but I think that Window's Media Player can play QuickTime files. I do not
try this too much so I am not positive.
Thanks for the help and best wishes. I will probably bite the bullet for
QT Pro in the next day or so. I think it is only around $30.

Flash Video Progressive Download

I would like to us a flash video in a web page, and don't
want to use streaming. If I use the Flash Video Encoder to make a

progressive download work okay, or is it too long to work without
problems? If this is too long, what would be a good maximum length
to use?
