Red Ex in FLV File

I exported a video file from FCut Pro and the file has a red
X throught the Screen. HELP

try this: open flash and use this
file>import>importVideo... then choose your video location,
select the sorenzon encoding ( i've done many test with this
encoder and works best) then choose your preference in streaming or
any of the other options. Then it will ask you to save your flv so
give it a name and save it. whenever you look at the folder where
you saved your flash document you will see the fla the swf if you
have publish and the flv file if you find this way being difficult
then try this other encoder.
This is a free encoder:

How do I download a video and convert it into an flv file? In previous versions, all I had to do was pick the resolution and it was done automaticlly. I use DVDFLICK to burn my downloaded videos to DVD.

In previous versions of Firefox, I was able to easily download and convert videos into .flv files. I was then able to burn DVDs of theses downloaded videos using DVDFLICK. I'm now unable to do this using Firefox6.0.2?

Hello,
There is a process by which you can produce a BluRay encode on a red laser DVD. See link below
from Ken Stone site.

Also this can be done in Toast 10 with the BluRay plugin, somewhat easier.
Good Luck, Tom

FLV File does not play when published to my web server

Hi. I have created a short video in VC3 and selected the FLV option to create a web page. When I uploaded the entire file content to my web server (windows 2003 server hosted at Network Solutions) the FLV file will not play. Now... if I do the same with a WMV tile, the video plays.
You can view the file at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/va_education/VATutorials/index.htm
We have another video published in WMV format, although the video vs audio sync is out of wack at the moment, at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/Energy%20Pricing%20101/index.htm
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again
You should probably double-check to ensure the standard.js file was also copied in when the HTML page was imported. It should be there but it never hurts to double check.
You might also perform a double-check to ensure things ended up in the correct folder (if you are organizing your project into folders). It could be that you moved the HTML page into a different folder and orphaned the JavaScript file.
Cheers... Rick

How can I mask on flv file in flash cs4?

Hi,
I am new to Flash CS4. I saw one video on how to use flv file in flash and mask it. It is working fine when I am using the following option while importing a video file to flash:
Load external video with playback component
But when I tried with the following option it doesn't show the background, it shows only movie which is playing nicely. But not the background which has a bill board.
Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline
It seems the mask is not working with this option.
How to solve this problem? Please help.
Actually it should be like the above.
But when I am using the option Embed FLV in SWF and play in timeline while importing the flv video, getting the result like below: It is not showing the Bill board as above.
See the layers created:

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

How do I convert an flv file to still images?

This may sound stupid, but I have a downloaded flv file, and I want to use about
8 seconds to make still images so I can trace into Illustrator and then export it into Flash. (both are older versions).
Is this possible?
It is for an animinated logo.
Thanx.

Why cant I import M4V or FLV files into my I-Movie video? Please HELP!

I just got the new Mac Desktop and REALLY hate that I cant drap and drop videos into the newer (i-Life11) -Imovie like I was used to since 2010. Seems to only work for photos. Is there a way around that?
So I am making a church youth group video where I have spent HOURS trying to get parts of Youtube videos into the video to show them. I have 2 forms saved on my desktop thanks to the software - i have a FLV video and a M4V - both converted. The Imovie already has plenty of clips that are M4V in them so I know it will take that form. It just wont let me import them..they are there but are not accesible (they are 'faded') under the File/Import/Movies/Desktop or File/Movies/RealPlayerDownloads. They aren't darkened and and I cant do anything with them.
What am I doing wrong?
HELP please. Thanks for input.
Frustrated volunteer who has spent too many hours on this!!!

Use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to DV. In the case of the FLV file, this requires installing Perian.

How do I replay a FLV file with flvPlayback AS3

Hey Everyone.
Pretty new to Flash and AS3- so I apologize in advance if my terminology is all wacked out. I've researched this topic for the better part of a day and cannot find my solution.
I've got a .flv file uploaded on my server that plays just fine. I created the video in Apple Motion, exported out a .MOV reformatted it using Adobe Media Encoder. Imported into Flash using the import video menu command. I ended up with a .swf and a .flv. I upload both to my server, built a webpage and use the swf to play the .flv.
Anyway. Everything plays. I need a button that a viewer can push and replay the video once it stops.
I can create shapes in flash and can turn them into buttons. Easy enough. Seems like I need to create a script to go with that frame in the timeline?
I keep reading about creating a listener and an event? But it's confusing finding answer because the is no clarification whether people are using AS2 or AS3 and I feel like I'm just chasing my tail.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial or help me out? Any advice is appreciated.
You can see the video here.
http://www.evisland.com/Pages/How_It_Works.html

What you need to do is
1 drag the movie to the stage.
2 give frame 1 a lable of "frame1" You can do this by clicking on frame one, then in the property inspector there is a field labled frame lable.
3 Go to the last frame and make a play button. Give the button an instance name of "player"
4 here is the event listener code that will activate when the "player" button is clicked. It will go back to frame 1 and play.
To Clarify this is Action Script 3
stop();
player.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,startOver);
function startOver(event:MouseEvent)
gotoAndPlay("frame1");
Thats all.

How to protect your .flv files on a server?

So I have a .swf which references playback of some .flv files on my server....Is there a way to protect these .flv files from access through any means other than with the .swf controls I have created? Currently I can simply type in the url location of the .flv files and download them completely circumventing the .swf if I so choose, which is not really how I would like them to exist...
I would far prefer that they are only accesible through the .swf.
Is there any way to do this....I know it's not a Dreamweaver specific question, or at least I don't think it is...but I would be interested in any thoughts.
Thanks,
James Hooey

Lynda.com uses either Quicktime or Flash...they added Flash playback of movies within a new Flash Player around a year ago. I'm a member of Lynda and use their services all the time.
When I was trying a flash grabber it was on these Flash based tutorial videos.
Just thought you would like to know that Lynda does have a Flash option and the grabber does not work with it.
My initial question is not in any way about me grabbing or copying Flash movies anyway, but rather that I want to protect my own Flash based movies on my own website.
Thanks,
All the best,
James Hooey

How to get a poster or preview image for my flv file

I am trying to find out how I can get a static image to show in my flvplayer before someone presses the play button to view the video.
Details:
I am brand new to flash, videos, .flv files, flash players, etc. I am very experienced with Dreamweaver, however.
I had a DVD video. I converted it from DVD to a .flv file. In Dreamweaver, I inserted the .flv file into my web page using Insert - FLV. It added the nifty little flv player with the skins. Everything is working perfectly, except prior to the user clicking play, the video shows just a black screen. I'd like to replace that with a placeholder image (poster image??).
Here is the page: http://ilovestraightteeth.webscapersites.com/treatments/incognito-braces.shtml
Is there simply a parameter I add to the object/ embed code? Or do I need to edit the video? Or otherwise? Any help would be appreciated, I'm being bounced from one forum to the next all over the place.
I've got the adobe cs4 suite, if that information is helpful/relevant. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Nancy - that definitely helped! But -- again, I'm totally new to this, so another probably silly question....
I followed the tutorial and totally got all of that, was able to add my poster frame, tested it, it all worked great. But now my video is in a .fla file; the option to export to FLV is not there. I need to get the video onto my web page now. So I tried exporting it as a .swf file, and then returned to Dreamweaver to insert the .swf file onto the page. I did an insert - SWF, the placeholder showed up, but when I tried to preview, I only got a blank white screen. I went to the Dreamweaver help files to see if I inserted it wrong, but I followed step by step and did it just as it said. (incidentally, a few days ago I tried insterting a different SWF file and the same thing happened).
(a) do you know why my SWF file is not showing up/previewing?
(b) is there a different file format I should have exported after I finished the tutorial for adding the poster image, when I had the functional .fla file?
Thanks again. I really appreciate the response.

Any ideas how I can view this flv file?

I have CS3 Flash using Flash Player 9 and Actions Script 3. I am publishing a progressve loading swf, which has an absolute path to an flv of http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.flv. The swf file is located here http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.swf, along withn the html, flv, and skin. When I click the button (configured by an XML file) on my web site to view the file, I get a flickering box. Other flvs in the XML file are configured the same way and work fine. See this flickering box at http://www.haleygroup.com/, enter site and go to "et al" page, then click "Basics". Any ideas how I can view this flv file? Many, many thanks.

I just changed the path to a relative path of just "basics.flv" and still have the problem. See swf at http://www.haleygroup.com/work_images/basics.swf. Thanks.

How can I hide my flv files?

hello,
I made a flash project that I published as an exe file. this project calls a number of external flv files. Now, I want to hide these files, because it's my own work and I don't want anyone to steal it, how can I hide these files?
my project will be published on a cd.
thank you for your help

Well the best feature of having all the content on the CD is that it's all self contained, no need to go someplace else (like the Internet) to get content. But it certainly is possible to store the .flv files on a Web server and have Flash content on the CD go to the Internet to download and play the videos. Little more complex to get it all working AND then the user must have an Internet connection available or they can't see the videos. But even then... if it's on the Internet it can be copied.
Or look into sone type of encryption program:
http://www.truecrypt.org/
http://www.axantum.com/axcrypt/
but I'm not sure that you can use the content without first decrypting the data.
As for watermarking and adding a copyright notice, this is normally done when the video is first being edited in whatever software is used to capture and edit the original video file. Once the file is already created, there are software programs to add the mark... something like this:

Best of luck!

Question: how to get the adobe plug in to play a downloaded flv file ?

I want to know how to get the flv adobe plug in which i downloaded as a result abc or nbc or cbs.com i forget exactly which said i had to and also it seems to be used for playing most all videos from web such as those from utube,hulu, etc. So my question is how do i get the plug in to play any downloaded *.flv video ? The particulars on the one i have is:
Output folder: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Execute: "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_plugin.exe"
Extract: NPSWF32.dll
Extract: NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe
Extract: flashplayer.xpt
also perhaps FLVPlayer.swf of about 9Kb may have something to do with it?
And the latest update i have was about jan 13 when it seemed to automatically take over my system and update itself.x
I know it has the ability to do what i want- which is full screen cropped ,change aspect ratios etc. and seems
It has to be able to or else it could not play the files and give those options which it does on some videos like from utube etc. in the first place. Unfortuneately it has something also to do with the useless *.swf files which are apparently of no use to anything and could certainly be eliminated .
I have downloaded several freebie flv players such as bs player etc. etc. but they all have so many faults and are not suitable. Bs player does what i want but it hangs , have to go to system mgr. to get out of it sometimes , often difficult to use etc.etc. The main features is i need is to be able to make and play playlists to automatically in full screen one after the other in a specified order with NO user intervention and the ability to magnify or 'pan in' i guess they call it and change aspect ratios so that i can have full screen as if just cropping part of horizontal such as if want to view a 16/9 aspect ratio on a computer as i have with the prior standard 4/3 aspect and change a downloaded vertically stretched to a cropped instead etc.
Also it doesn't make sense to download others and take up disk space when already have the adobe - also adobe seems to be the only one that plays hulu flv's correctly - on other flv players the video and audio are way out of sync and not just by few seconds but often by a minute or more. I know there is another 'pain' way to do it which is create a *.avi or other extension with loss of clarity etc. which have done but would like to be able to just do it in real time while playing the flv file itself as for example
as bs player does.
Anyway if there is no way to get adobe to do this does anyone know of any other free flv player downloads which will do what
i want - basically playlists, magnify , pan,crop and still full screen, change aspect ratios - other than bs player ?

The plugin is what it is: a browser plugin - it cannot act as a standalone player.
To play local flv files you either need to
download/install the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
download/install Adobe Media Player http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/

How to stream flv files from a diffferent directory outside the applications folder

Hi everyone,
I want to stream the flv files from a different location
stored in the hard disk, which is outside the applications folder
in the FMS installation root directory. Does anyone know how to do
it?
Regards,
Diptanu

VOD changes won't help him, he said outside the applications
folder. According to adobe any new vod folders must be in the
applications folder, hence virtually worthless for most purposes. A
better question may be, how do you specify a folder on a different
local hard drive. I wish adobe wouldn't make it so complicated, it
should be a really simple matter.
