QuickTime ActiveX AVI to Flash conversion

Hi!
I use C# + QuickTime ActiveX for command line conversion AVI to FLV.
There is example how to use ActiveX http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2006/tn2120.html
'Set exporter type: AVI, 3G, MPEG-4, PNG, etc.
ex.TypeName = "QuickTime Movie"
But what TypeName should I specify for FLV?
7 pro Windows XP Pro

Try using MPEG Streamclip.

Quicktime to flash conversions

I am doing some testing for an upcoming project which requires Quicktime to Flash conversion and I noticed that when you save your settings in the Adobe media encoder interface (save as) and go into it again to check, the settings go back to the default. Does this mean they have not been saved? The inspector doesn't give much information ether.
Thanks

Artifacts in Using Save As for AVI to MOV Conversion?

When I SAVE AS a compressed avi file to mov, I am seeing artifacts (they look like interlacing errors) in the final mov file, vs the same frames in the .avi file. Can I avoid this somehow? The avi file was compressed with the BlackMagic Intensity code (I think it's motion jpg too).
The file sizes are the same.
Bummer, I bought Quicktime Pro just for this. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Can anyone here tell me why two duplicate laptops treat the avi-to-mov conversion so differently and why I must export at 480p?
As to QT playback, either the codec component configuration is different on each system or the the AVI file contains a legacy video codec that is turned on for system "A" but left off for system "B" but which is included in the Perian bundle installed on system "B." With reguard to the forced conversion rather than a simple "Save As..." action, please confirm the video codec name given in the "Inspector" window for each system. I suspect that either the video codec is different on each system or that the Perian version of the same codec with a different name may be forcing the "Export" conversion.

"the activex control for flash player could not be registered" - Solutions Roundup

I recently ran into this problem on my computer:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems2.jpg
I am a Flash developer (as in I write SWFs, I don't work for Adobe). and when I updated IE to 10.2, "the activex control for flash player could not be registered". Since I am a developer, I also have Firefox and Chrome installed, with Flash running without problems. For a long time now, Internet Explorer has used a different version (ActiveX) to the other browsers, which use plugins. I am a strong supporter of Flash, it's great to develop with and has a very wide feature set which is growing all the time, unlike fixed technologies/standards. However, the weakest part is the install process - I don't understand why their is a Download Manager. Google Chrome does it's best (so far) by managing the install/update process entirely in the background. Anyway, it was in my best interest to try and get to the bottom of this.
For the record, on the problem machine I have Windows 7 with IE8, but I have seen almost identical symptoms with IE9, Windows XP SP3, as well as various iterations of Flash Player (10.0, 10.1, 10.2 and even some final editions of version 9).
First I tried the standard support here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html
Basically, doing the manual uninstall and manual install of the latest version (without using the download manager, or have IE open). This did not work. I also tried the Microsoft "subinacl" program, together with "reset_fp10.bat". This didn't work either. However, you should try all of these things first before progressing further.
A quick note about people who had tried running the following at a command prompt: "secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb /verbose"
I didn't do this, because on investigating further it didn't seem to work with Windows 7, only Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 - though there was a few threads where this had fixed the problem for some users.
For my solution, it is recommended you use the manual uninstall / installers, so you should have them downloaded ready to use.
I then heard about problems with permissions in the registry with the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
So I opened regedit.exe (start - run - typed "regedit.exe"), navigated to the key and sure enough, I couldn't open it - permission denied - even though I had an administrator account. If for some reason, you can access this key (and any subkeys), then it's likely the following fix will not resolve the problem.
I then done further diagnosis, by using Process Monitor to try and install Flash Player, and I got the following:
http://at32.s3.amazonaws.com/flash_install_problems.gif
This shows all the access denied errors the Flash Player install was experiencing when trying to write to the registry key. This confirmed that this was the problem. I only stress this because several people said it was unwise to tinker with the registry. Though this is common advice, this is the only known fix for this precise problem at present, since you need to manually adjust the permissions yourself. I don't know who is at fault here - Microsoft or Adobe - but let's just get Flash fixed...
The solution:
Firstly, you may want to backup your registry, or the exact key. I didn't do this so I've provided no instructions on how to, but it is recommended for the paranoid. Also make sure as much software is closed down as possible - browsers, IM software, any junk in your system tray. As way of example, I happened to have "BBC iPlayer" installed and running in the background which uses Adobe AIR and Flash Player, so I exited that too.
1) Open regedit (start - run - type "regedit.exe"). You may need to right click on it and select "Run As Administrator", but I didn't as my account was already administrator.
2) Navigate to the key. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\shockwaveflash.shockwave
Click on it to confirm that you cannot access it (you will get an error) - if their are no problems - this probably isn't the cause of your issues.
3) Right click on it and click Permissions, and ignore any message that may pop up.
4) Under "Group or Usernames" click "Add". Type your account name name, or "Administrators" in the box, then "Check Names" to format it correctly, then Ok.
5) Now on the next screen click the checkbox to enable Full Control (this will also automatically enable "Read" permission too).
6) Click Advanced, then the "Owner" tab at the top. You will see that their is no "Current Owner". This is what we will now fix.
7) Click on your name to change the owner to (I went for Administrators). Also enable the checkbox entitled "Replace Owner on subcontainers and objects". Then click Ok. You will get an error message, which you can try clicking Retry to, but hit Cancel - this is not a problem.
8) Click Ok a couple of times and this part of your registry is now fixed.
9) Now it's a simple case of running the manual Flash uninstall program, then finally the manual Flash installer (for Active X - not the Firefox/Chrome plugin versions). To my surprise, after a couple of days looking into this - I finally had a solution and Flash in IE once more. If you are using Firefox too you may find Flash is no longer installed their (the uninstaller removed it). In this case just install via the Adobe site or try to watch a video on You Tube and you will be prompted or linked to the install.
Hope this provides a good round up of the possible solutions to this problem. Hopefully Microsoft or Adobe can find out what causes this issue in the first place so we don't have to go down this route for much longer. Chrome's implementation of Flash shows how effortlessly things can work!

They will stay on the screen. However, Process Monitor is only intended for advanced users. It is recommended that users try to navigate to the troublesome registry key using regedit, and see if they can access it or not without an error. This is far easier than trying to use Process Monitor, which is very complicated.
I used Process Monitor to confirm that it was just that key which was causing the problem, and not others. Process Monitor is not to be confused with the new Resource Monitor which is accessible via Task Manager in Windows 7 (and possibly Vista). If you must experiment (and Process Monitor is very useful for diagnosing many deep-level problems if you know what you're looking for) Process Monitor can be downloaded from here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645
It replaces the older Sysinternals "FileMon" and "RegMon". For those interested in the technical side, I had to setup a number of filters to be able to get the results display as in the screenshot. First of all to just show Registry events. Then to just show events from the manual Flash activeX installer executable. The I added a filter to show only non-successfull results. And finally, for the purposes of the screenshot, added a filter to just show those with "Access Denied", since other non-critical errors are also picked up due to missing keys because installation has not yet been fully completed I guess. When experimenting, most of these filters were applied using the "is not" boolean logic, which will make sense if you experiment with the program.
Without adding any filters, it picks up so many events (hundreds per second) that it's otherwise unusable. e.g. 40,000 events within the first few seconds of opening the program. For this reason, I recommend simply using Regedit to diagnose the problem with the particular Flash registry key.

ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered - no solutions work

I am getting the "ActiveX control for Flash Player could not be registered" when I try to install 11 on IE9 (Windows 7 64-bit). I have tried everything that has been suggested in other posts and forums to no avail. This is driving me crazy and hindering me from work. Can someone please help? Thank you!

I just had this issue and have been searching and searching for a way to fix this issue. I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and this was happening with IE 9. But I have found the solution.
Go to http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/494/cpsid_49419.html and follow these instructions. This worked for my system and I was able top install the newest flash with no problems.
Make sure you are logged into a Windows Administrator account. If you are not, you will not be able to use SubInACL.
Download SubInACL from the Microsoft Download Center.
Follow the installation instructions. Make sure you install SubInACL (subinacl.exe) to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools.
Download the reset_fp10.zip file.
Open the fp10.zip file and extract the reset_fp10.cmd file to the directory C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\.
Both this file and SubInACL (subinacl.exe) must be in this directory.
Double-click reset_fp10.cmd. A command window will open, and SubInACL will run.
Do not use the machine while SubInACL is running.
After SubInACL finishes, you will see a prompt "Press any key to continue".
Install Flash Player from the Flash Player download page.
To confirm that your installation succeeded, visit the About Flash Player page. At the top of the screen, you should see a message that reads "Adobe Flash Player Successfully Installed."

The activex control for flash player could not be registered. Please help!

Can't install flash player. Keep getting activex control for flash player could not be registered. I have tried all of the solutions provided on this forum. Running windows 7 32-bit running IE8.
Please help.

Hi, Did you use the Administrator Account? If you received that message it is usually a Permissions Issue.
We have had several reports this past week of a Virus(AntiVirus8 or AV8) that can set a Kill-bit on the very Registry Key that FP uses for that ActiveX Control.
You may want to look and see if this is perhaps the problem. This needs to be ruled out first before we proceed, because if that key has the Kill-bit, then it wouldn't matter what you do.

The activex controls for flash player could not be registered

the activex controls for flash player could not be registered
i have had this problem for a while and cannot seem to get around it please post anyreliable suggestions

Just to add some additional misery to this thread. I have this exact same issue. Windows 7.
The issue started several weeks ago, when a flash update failed to install. Everything seemed fine other than every reboot, this flash update would fail (and in fact would "hang"), but flash itself continued to work.
Yesterday, it stopped completely. It said flash wasn't installed. I've tried:
1. Completely uninstalling flash (it is not in Add/remove programs) but using the techniques and videos offered by Adobe to remove the files, using their uninstaller, etc.
2. Perform the fix as outlined in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/987370 which including installing SubACL, the batch file, etc. The batch file ran successfully, but did not solve the problem.
3. I've tried Windows System restore, but it doesn't seem to go back far enough.
4. I've tried the fixit identifed above in this thread and while it solves certain problems, still doesn't solve my issue.
5. I've tried installing using the stand alone EXE and MSI from Adobe.
6. I've tried the 11.9 beta.
None of these have worked and all result in the "failed to register" error. I'm currently using the flash built into Google Chrome as I needed to have some working flash component.
Anyone else have any ideas whatsoever short of a Windows reinstallation?

Starting a quicktime movie from within flash?

Hello,
I am very new to flash and would like to know if this is
possible? I have a flash template that I am using for a business
card CD. I would like to have a jpeg image (within the flash
template) act as a button that when pressed opens a full screen
quicktime movie. Is this possible from within flash? Would it make
a difference if I export everything to a quicktime movie? If flash
can't do this would there be a 3rd party software that would enable
me to do this? Any suggestions or options would be much
appreciated!
Regards,
Kevin

Can only save 32768 colors in quicktime and avi

Hi,
I am using a variation of the JpegImagesToMovie program to store int[] arrays of pixels to quicktime and avi movies. I created a test movie with frames of size 256x256 such that each from contains a gradient of black to white from the top downwards. Since there are 256 shades of grey, I expected a perfectly smooth gradient; however, it only created 32 shades of grey (meaning, it is only using 5-bits of each color channel, hence only 32768 colors total). I set the format as:
      format = new RGBFormat(
          new Dimension(width, height),
          this.length = width*height,
          int[].class,
          frameRate,
          32,
          0x00ff0000,
          0x0000ff00,
          0x000000ff,
          1,
          width,
          Format.FALSE,
          RGBFormat.BIG_ENDIAN);and I am created the colors as:
data[index] = (red << 16) | (green << 8) | blue; where red, green and blue are ints equal to the y-coordinate of the pixel I am setting.
I also tried specifying 24-bit color as opposed to 32-bit. Has any one else seen this effect? Any suggestions? Thanks,
- Mike

Hi again,
Turns out all I needed was to set the compression format as so:
TrackControl tcs[] = processor.getTrackControls();
    for(int i = 0; i < tcs.length; i++) {
      TrackControl c = tcs;
Format f = c.getFormat();
if (f instanceof VideoFormat) {
Format[] fmt = c.getSupportedFormats();
if ((fmt != null) && (fmt.length > 0)) {
for(int j = 0; j < fmt.length; j++) {
if ("MPG4".equals(fmt[j].getEncoding())) {
c.setFormat(fmt[j]);
Thanks anyway,
- Mike

Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin

Windows 7 64bit / IE8
I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX and Adobe Flash Player Plugin thinking they would be reinstalled together when I installed the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
Now I only see the entry for Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX 10.2.159.1 listed in - Uninstall or change a program.
I was wondering how to get the Adobe Flash Player Plugin?
Thanks.

These are the files listed in the folder.
Flash10p.ocx
FlashInstall.log
FlashUtil10p_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10p_AciveX.exe
I originally uninstalled Flash Player 10 ActiveX and the Flash Player Plugin
thinking they would both be reinstalled with the newer version. When I installed
the newer version of Flash Player 10 ActiveX I noticed the Plugin was missing
and wondered what happened to it. I didn't know it needed to be downloaded
seperatly and I also didn't know what it was for exactly. As it is right now
everything works and since I'm not using any other browser - downloading
the Plugin isn't required. At least now I have an idea what the Plugin it was
intended for and know it's not needed.
Thank You.

How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

pls..how can i make quicktime play avi. files? because i have some avi files on my ipod or data cd but i can't play them on my laptop. pls help me..
and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

Hello,
You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

Quicktime 7.0+ with Vista = error 46: can't find or load quicktime activex

For awhile, Quicktime Pro was working on my 32bit Microsoft Vista PC that I built, then sometime around 7.1.5 Internet Explorer would no longer play Quicktime files in my browser. No biggie, but then after 7.1.6 it would not longer load at all. I keep getting Error 46: Can't find or load Quicktime ActiveX control.
If I try launching Quicktime as the administrator, I still get the Error 46. And it just won't load. Even Sony Vegas Video won't render Quicktime files as that gives me an access violation.
I managed to find a Quicktime 7.0.1 installer, so I deinstalled 7.1.6 and installed 7.0.1 and all was well again. The program would launch and play Quicktime files and Sony Vegas Video would render Quicktime files again.
But as soon as I rebooted...Error 46 again...even after downgrading. Something's going on with the permissions and I cant seem to fix it.
The one shining light with 7.0.1 is if I launch it as an Administrator it will work after rebooting. But only if launching it as an Administrator.
7.1.6 will not do this. It will error everytime regardless of launching as an admin or not.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this? And does anyone know if Apple is working to solve this issue? Hopefully this isn't too limited of a bug, otherwise I might be in for a long wait for a fix.

Hi, all
I thought I would post the link to another thread where I got this working on my machine.

Exporting HD Sizes for Quicktime and AVI?

Okay, LOVE the new CS4, but have a problem.
For tech notes in case it means anything, I'm shooting with a JVC HD-110, editing M2T files. Everything in THAT respect works perfectly - NOW I even have an FS5 drive so it goes even better - dropping all capture time and processes. The Projects are all set up as HDV, 720p at 24p - basically, everything about the Project is set to HD.
When I choose Quicktime or AVI as the Export format, the only Preset options that come up are DV related. Meaning, SD... And when I have to manually type 1280x720 as the export size (upping the default from 720x480) it even reads "1,280" - not a straight "1280", get it?
The resulting render looks horrible - completely unusable - unless my goal is to simulate the old Fisher Pricer Pixel Camcorder ;-)
How do I Export from Premiere's Timeline to an HD format? Or can I download a set or HD Presets to put in the Export Settings (or something) folder for each codec?
Thank you for your time, and any thoughts-
-Lew

Oh yeah - there's a whole huge list for WMV! MAN you have options there!
No, none of those options are (or seem) available for Quicktime and AVI.
I bounce files back and forth for clients (and myself) for FX work and edits (they prefer the Quicktime Animation codec at 100% - gotta admit, it's beautiful!), and would like to do final output to HD in the end for a project I'm working on right now.

How to Properly Destroy Quicktime ActiveX Object?

Hi,
Does anyone have experience with Quicktime ActiveX objects? I'm having an issue about destroying/unloading the objects. When my compiled executable is closed (either programtically through 'Quit Labview' or by selecting 'File-->Exit'), Windows 7 detects a crash and displays:
So I'm guessing that Quicktime is the culprit because of the 'Fault Module Name'.
When I shutdown the Quicktime portion of the program (a subvi that gets called several different times), I perform:
QTOLibrary.IQTMovie.Stop
QTOLibrary.IQTMovie.Disconnect
Set QTOControlLib.IQTControl.URL = [blank]
QTOControlLib.IQTControl.QuickTimeTerminate
Destroy QTOControlLib.IQTControl reference
Destroy QTOLibrary.IQTMovie reference
Destory QuickTime ActiveX container reference
Any other properties/methods/combinations/order I should try? Thanks.
-Joe

Hi Joe,
Quit LabVIEW shuts down LabVIEW, but does not affect other applications. You need to ensure that your ActiveX references are being closed properly, even if you are quitting LabVIEW.
A good way to ensure that your references are being closed even when you forcibly exit LabVIEW is to use an event structure. Add a new event to the event structure by right clicking on the default "Timeout" label at the top and selecting "Add Event Case...". Then, under the Event Source, "<Application>", select the event, "Application Instance Close". This event will only execute when you attempt to close your application. Add another "Close Reference" function to the block diagram and wire the reference out output of the Invoke node to the reference input of the Close Reference function. Does this fix your error?

Last week I updatet flash from 11.4 to 11.6 -> same problem.
Today I updatet it to 11.7 -> same problem.
Some weeks ago we had to replace the old machine completely using winXP 32bit, flash 9 or 10 (not sure, think it was 10).
1. should I try an older version of flash? found some similar problems using the IE, but I dont use the IE and these threads have no solution.
2. how to enable a flash error reporting in this VB-Flash solution?
Thanks and greetings!

1. "User-Agent Strings"
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.Microsoft has no immediate plans to "fix" the mess they've created.
2. Chrome is a 32 bit browser, and will identify as such, including the plug-ins in it.
IE uses the plug-in from the SyWOW64 folder (WOW=Windows On WIndows - which runs 32 bit apps in the 64 bit environment)
