Rotating Video Playback within SWF

At playback I am rotating a video (FLV) from a landscape to a
portrait perspective (90 degree rotation) within a flash SWF. From
a technical perspective, does flash just rotate the video on the
fly, or does it go as far as to recreate and redraw the video in
the new perspective?
Are there any known issues with rotating video using
flash?

Here is a link to a great example...

Video playback within itunes 12.0.1.26

I have Itunes 12.0.1.26 (Quicktime 7.7.6) on Windows 7 & having issues playing purchased videos.
1.If I download a purchased video it won't playback through Itunes just get a black popup screen but if opened by quicktime it works?.
2.Tried to streaming movies & tv shows from the cloud I get the same popup black screen but nothing loads.
Videos that are not purchased through itunes have no issues playing within itunes.
I've tried some of the troubleshooting guides but nothing seems to fix the problem.
I'm at a total loss as what the problem is with itunes I think the with more updates come more issues.
Please help.

No video playback within IE 11

I am running Windows 7 Professional with all updates and patches installed. No embedded video will play in any IE 11 feed, although YouTube videos play just fine from within the YouTube site. If I attempt to watch a video embedded in CBS News, for instance, I can hear the audio, but the video does not display. I have Flash, SilverLight,Media Player, etc all installed and enabled. If I use Chrome, the videos play without issue.

Hi kdmhb. Since embedded videos only fail to play in Internet Explorer 11, at least you know the issue is specific to IE11. I have included several troubleshooting documents which should lead to a fix. Let me know if this helps.

Intermittent stalling during audio/video playback

This issue is driving me up the wall. I hope someone can help.
Often, while listening to (for example) iTunes, playback stalls and there is silence for several seconds. If I listen to music for an hour, I guess I might experience the issue anywhere from 3-6 (?) times — though sometimes I can go for more than an hour without it happening. But: it doesn't just happen with iTunes — the same thing happens from time to time when using VLC for video playback (usually accompanied by some video artifacts), or HTML5 video playback within Safari. (I don't have Flash Player installed, though I occasionally use Google Chrome for Flash content; if I recall correctly I think the same thing sometimes happens with Flash videos/audio within Chrome too.)
Along the same lines, now and then I notice that when attempting an action within Mail.app, a task will appear in the Activity Window that's something like, 'waiting for the hard drive,' with a barber pole and stop sign. This will delay my action for several seconds. I suspect this is a different manifestation of the same underlying problem that causes the playback stalling.
I DON'T typically get the swirling beach ball of doom when any of these things happen. Mouse pointer does NOT freeze, and the system seems responsive in all other ways during these episodes.
I'm pretty Mac savvy, and I make sure to do regular hard drive maintenance (verifying volume with Disk Utility, rebuilding directory with DiskWarrior, etc.). My startup partition is only about 2/3 full. This week I used iDefrag to defrag the hard drive, thinking it might fix the problem, but nope it still happens. SMART diagnostics have never shown a problem.
When researching this issue on the web, some folks have suggested keeping an eye on the log files (Console.app), and Activity Monitor. I definitely haven't found anything in the log files that coincides with incidents of stalling. And nothing in particular seems to 'spike' in CPU activity in the Activity Monitor at the same time as the stalling; at least not that I've noticed.
I'm pretty good about keeping apps up to date, and I don't have too many apps running in the background. But the problem persists even when I've quit everything else except the app that's doing the audio/video playback.
This has been going on for a long time, and nothing I've tried has helped. Any advice or suggestions, anyone??

Checking Console.app messages once again, the following lines seem to coincide with at least some of the stalling incidents:

Video playback - other way round

Does anyone know how to rotate video playback 180 degrees? My case stand works better if its the other way round but I can't work out if videos playback is set 1 way only

This is one of the most annoying lack of functionality issues on the Ipod Touch. I can rotate album art 360, but I can only rotate Videos 90? Awful. (Ditto with other parts of the interface. I wish I didn't have to rotate the ipod when I am watching a movie in wide screen but then want to browse other movies. Shouldn't the lists also be able to rotate?
I think apple's design people forgot the huge segment of folks who use these when they are at the gym, say on a treadmill or elliptical machine. It would be nice not to have to rotate constantly when browsing.
But as for Movies... -WHY- can't we flip these? I mean, this seems so odd to me. Obviously the though crossed some developers minds since you can rotate album art 360.... so why did the videos get stuck with either ^ or > but not the other 2 permutations.
Very frustrating. I also requested this feature on the feature request forums, but I'm not holding my breath. This seems like a total no-brainer and it should be easy to add, but who knows?

Video playback terrible!

I've just bought one of the brand new MacBook Pros (March 2011) which has it's own dedicated graphics card and 8GB Ram but still I find that HD video playback within Aperture 3 is unwatchable.
It starts and stops and if it works is very jittery.
Is this just how it is in Aperture?

For what it's worth, I think the problem I was experiencing was because my video files were stored on an external hard drive connected to an Airport Extreme and I was trying to play those HD videos over wifi (which presumably isn't fast enough to stream HD video)

Pause FMR recording and video playback capture not working??

Hello!
I'm trying to record full motion recording in CAPTIVATE, but the PAUSE feature looks like it is not working for me. I even tried to modify the shortcut key, but nothing works. Anybody else have this trouble or am I missing something obvius here?? I thought that maybe the FMR mode cannot be PAUSED, but nothing on that matter can be found in the manual.
Also, I'm trying to produce e-learning content for PREMIERE and SOUNDBOOTH. I've noticed that video playback within PREMIERE is not captured by CAPTIVATE. I've seen on the forum that others had this issue. Is version 5 of captivate behaving the same? Is it still not possible to capture onscreen video playback?
Any info here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem where Captivate 5 in FMR doesn't respond to the Pause key, however I'm noticing that there hasn't been a solution supplied here.
Is there another location/forum where Adobe representatives for Captivate are actively monitoring questions and problems for this product?

Swf won't load on web but ok locally (believe only video playback issue)

Hi all,
I am very new to flash....literally first day into it.
I converted a mov into flv and imported the flv with playback component. When I publish, I am able to see both (via the swf and the html) from my browser. Once I uploaded the swf and html onto my webserver (both files are stored in the same folder just like how I had it locally), the swf won't display the video.
Now, I have a button (when clicked, it skips the playback and go directly to the site) and the button works fine. So, I think it is only limited to the video playback.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Ned,
I was just fiddling with it and it seems to be working now. I think your advice of putting the flv there helped?!?! Thanks a billion!
http://www.astoryconcept.com/index1.html
The only minor issue that I need to fix and not sure how yet:
-it stops during the initial playback (I guess my flv is a little large 4mb and I might have to optimize it to a smaller file)
-it didn't center itself when I drag the browser larger/smaller
Now that it works, I want to see if I could optimize it. Wandering if there is a "BETTER/EASIER" way to take me to a url at the end of the video playback.
What I did in here:
I created a cuepoint at 23 second (that's the end of the video) and it will take me to a url (here: adobe.com). Below is the actionscript I had in there (using code snipper) [One is for "Skip Intro" that will bring me to cnn.com; and the other one is the cuepoint that will take me to adobe.com):
================================================================
/* Click to Go to Web Page
Clicking on the specified symbol instance loads the URL in a new browser window.

Video playback issues in Air for Android

Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
Max

Video playback on mobile device

Hello,
I'm new here and probably this was asked before me, but I spent a lot to search on the net and actually couldn't find much.
I'm developing a web based application dealing with video - it should be controlable and have to interact with other elements of the app. The client now asks mobile apps - for Android and iOS, that should have same features.
I looked for solutions to play video on mobile device using Flex and building mobile apps but nowhere could find a proper explanation and results about framerates and performance. The other problem I think will be that the mobile device should play streamed video (which can be encoded in any suitable format) as well as native video - usually h.264, that as far as I understood, is not possible on iOS (I coudn't find out about Android).
On my Android device I can play very smoothly even web videos (in the browser) that are not "optimized for mobile" as it pops up during playback. I made a test and build a simple app that just plays a remote video using the Spark's VideoPlayer and its framerate was OK but the picture was terrible - some strange coloured lines appeared.
Is there anybody who has more info about video playback on mobile device, codecs, components etc. I need that info to make the choice to stick with Flash development for all the apps or to go for native development with platforms' SDK.
Thanks

Can you say even more about what it is you want to do? I mean, what will the application do, not what are the technical aspects of how it will work?
For a point of comparison, look at this thing I did:
http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/mixit/
If you try out the Make page, both the template ones and the from scratch one, as well as the View page to see the playback unit in action. Is what you're going to do anything like that?
I have tried the playback part of this as a mobile app, and it so very nearly works ok! Amongst the many problems are that the overall data rate needed is quite high, and mobile devices aren't as consistant or high bandwidth as desktops, the external swfs often need code in them, so that rules out iOS, and to do the layering involved rules out H.264.
At some future time there will hopefully be StageVideo that can use H.264, but I don't know when that will be, or whether it will be responsive enough (FLV is much faster to connect to and play than H.264).
Incidentally, even in the Objective-C world you can't lay things on top of the standard iOS H.264 player. To do that you have to use the AV Foundation class, so it's fairly low level programming. Using FLV in Flash is a lot easier!

Issue with video playback in Flash Player

I am currently doing some voluntary work for my mom for the local branch of the Alzheimer Foundation. Now I have encoded a video to mpeg4/h.264 and F4V using the Adobe Media Encoder only I am having not much luck to get it successfully played. Now is my question what could I be doing wrong? I already tried to use ActionScript 2 and 3 and disabled GZIP compression on the server and even tried different files like H.264 and F4V.
The strange thing is that the video always work just fine when being tested in Flash CS4 10.2 but when I tried it in the browser it fails. The Test Movie feature of Flash is using the following player version MAC 10,0,12,36. I am using 10,0,32,14 MAC in my Safari browser and their the movie plays fine once the file is fully downloaded (how can I change this?) only when let friends try it out which have version 10,0,32,18 or the same version it doesn't work for them. Also when I am using an older version doesn't seem to work. I thought that H.264 support was added in some version of Flash Player 9. One of the issues which I was getting that the video playback worked lovely in Test Movie with the below listed alzheimer.mp4 url but when testing after the SWF and HTML were uploaded to the webserver it failed to work and I was receiving a FileStructureInvalid error. Now I would expect that the video file would fail in Test Movie too when the video file structure is invalid.
I have tried the following video files both encoded with Adobe Media Encoder:
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.mp4
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer08.f4v
The current player can be found at:
http://www.letslearn.it/dropbox/alzheimer.html
I have attached my As3 version of the Flash file which is normal easy video stuff.
Anyone happen to know what could be the issue here? I am getting desperate!

Yes, I have just used the normal Video-object together with the normal trick to load Flash Video files with it. Nothing special only with a full URL for the play()-method. I have attached the source code for your convenience. The original files are edited in Premiere Pro CS4 and are based on one original ripped DVD vob file and a newly created Quicktime-based slideshow animation which has then be edited into one using Premiere.
After that I have selected the sequence of the Premiere project which I have exported using File > Export which is using Adobe Media Encoder. For the encoding I haved used the Export Settings: "Format FLV | F4V", Codec On2 VP6 and then altered the video size and bitrate so that the file size gets smaller this is for the Alzheimer08.f4v file. The other file used the H.265 Web Medium profile with also the video size and bitrate modified after it got encoded and uploaded to my webserver.
The original files used by the Premiere Pro project are:
VTS_01_1.dv
Type: DV Stream
File Size: 2.6 GB
Image Size: 720x576
Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
Compressor: DV - PAL
Quality: Normal (3.00)
SLIDESHOW 2.mov
Type: QuickTime Movie
File Size: 3.2 GB
Image Size: 720 x 576
Average Data Rate: 3.4 MB/Second
Compressor: DV - PAL
Quality: Most (5.000)
Above information is obtained in Premiere Pro by selected Properties-option of the submenu when selecting the file.
Hopefully you can use this information but I could upload the original Premiere Pro project over the next few days. If you would be interested in it.

VIDEO PLAYBACK ANOMALY N95

I'm using the N95 with the TV-OUT cables connected to an external monitor. While watching a Video, if an incoming call is answered, the video playback is paused for the duration of the call. When resuming playback of the video after hanging-up the call, the video image appears to be veiled with poor picture contrast and the picture partially renders with the original colours. The sound track remains ok.
Could this be a codec/Video-RAM problem, after a context switch, and how can this be rectified !
Any help would be much appreciated.

I think the fundamental problem I'm having with the video playback with incoming-call interruption is due to the video format being used;
MPEG-4 Files
24 bits, 176 x 144, 15 fps
Frame-based
MPEG-4 SP Video: 200 Kbps
44100 Hz, 16 Bit, Stereo
MPEG AAC Audio: 128 Kbps
It seems that when using the "Transfer Videos" utility within Nokia PC suite, some form of further Optimisation (.MP4) or Conversion is taking place on the Video file resulting in a file size which is smaller than the original .MP4 file.
This, I believe is exasperating the problem !
Therefore, using the File Manger utility to copy the Video file directly from the PC to the relevant folder on the Memory Card gets around this problem.
The Video now continues to play after the context switch from the In-Coming Call with some initial degradation in picture quality as before but recovers fully within a couple of seconds.
This needs to be investigated further, and many thanks to all who have helped!

Rotating video 180 degrees?

I have a special need to be able to rotate certain clips within a video 180 degrees. I am mounting a small video camcorder in a mid-power model rocket and will be launching the camcorder to an altitude of approximately 5000'. During the ascent (Phase 1), the video will be oriented correctly. At apogee, the rocket will eject a small drogue parachute to create a rapid but controlled descent (Phase 2) until the altimeter senses roughly 500' altitude at which point, it will eject a large main parachute for a slow descent and soft landing (Phase 3). During Phase 2, the camcorder will be suspended upside down from the drogue parachute.
Is there a method in Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 (or any other reasonably priced video editing software) that I can rotate the entire clip of Phase 2 (estimated at 30 to 120 seconds) by 180 degrees in order to compensate for the camcorder recording in an upside down orientation during this phase?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Rotating Video Cut Off Once Exported

Hello,
I am creating a video in Premiere Pro CS3. I am placing a video clip within it that I am rotating using keyframes and when the image is displayed on the monitor it rotates perfectly and the entire images is included. However, when I export it out (either through a direct export or with the media encoder) the lower part of the image gets cropped off while rotating, and it is just black. It does not do this within premiere pro. How can I fix it so that the entire video image is seen as rotating? I tried making the size of the video clip that is rotating itself smaller so that the whole thing fits within the frame, yet this does nothing, for some reason, when exported out, the bottom portion of the video is cropped out (even though it all fits and is seen as rotating). This seems totally mysterious to me.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

My best GUESS would be your PAR is "going off" during the process... such as (example here, may not be real numbers) a regular 4:3 video has a par of .9 and widescreen 16:9 has a par of 1.2
You do not tell what your source file is (what kind/codec) and also no information about your output

Print to Video, Playback Output Video for 1080i60 Codec?

Could someone who is using Final Cut Express 4.0 please check the characteristics under Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, as to whether FCE 4.0 provides a “Playback Output Video” capability.
In FCE 3.5, the pull down menu: Final Cut Express HD / Easy Setup / HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60, “Playback Output Video” is not available, ie “None”.
I have been using the “Print to Video” command within Final Cut Express 3.5 to export my edited video (NTSC 720x480) back onto my Sony mini DV TRV70 camcorder for archival purposes. This is usually something I do after burning discs using iDVD.
I’m about to purchase a Canon HV30 hi-def camcorder, and in the same way, would like to archive my hi def edited videos, ......that is, after burning some DVD’s, I want to archive the entire 1080i60 version back onto tape using the Print to Video command and Rec Cntrl function of the camcorder. However, the “Playback Output Video” feature of FCE 3.5 for 1080i60 seems to be “None”.
Appreciate any info as to whether FCE 4.0 has this feature, or are there any other ideas out there that would accomplish the same objective.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Michel (Bonjour)
Thanks again for responding, and providing a number of good references for Blu Ray burning and burners.
I recently “captured” a short Hi Def, 2 minute bird feeder video from my Canon HV30 with Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and placed the imported segment on the Time Line viewer. All of this with FCE set in the 1080i60 AIC codec.
With no editing nor transitions nor effects, I then did a “Print to Video” of this Time Line segment, and recorded it back onto the Canon, positioning it on the tape directly following the original recording.
I then rewound the mini DV tape, and played back the two videos from the Canon into my high definition Samsung via HDMI. I couldn’t tell the difference between the two video samples, …….the original recording compared with the copy that was captured by FCE and re-recorded back onto tape.
I then took this same Time Line segment, exported to a QuickTime self contained movie (sequence), and then dragged that QT sequence into iDVD (Version 7.0.3) widescreen theme pane. It took about 30 minutes to process and burn that same short ( ~2 min) segment to a DVD using my iMac 2.1Ghz G5 w/ standard Super Drive.
I then played back that DVD disc on my HD Samsung through a standard DVD Player (no up converting capability) and could see a good rendition of the video sample, but fuzzy in spots especially during slow panning, …..a good video but NOT certainly the Hi Definition quality that I saw during playback from the Canon mini DV tape playback.
A question for you experts……is the degradation seen during DVD playback caused by the iDVD software not producing a 1060i Hi Def rendition, ….or is the DVD ok and the fact that I did not have an unconverting or Blu Ray DVD player the reason for the lack of non hi-def quality from the DVD?
Michel, …..I have not as yet purchased Toast 10 with the HD plugin. Would you expect that I would see an improved version, ….a nearly Hi Def rendition if I had used Toast 10 instead of iDVD? Or do I have to go the distance!…….that is, Toast 10, a Blu Ray burner, and Blu Ray Player as well!…..to see a version of my 2 minute sample as good as what my Canon HV30 playback is showing me?
Once again, Thanks in advance
BoBo
