Sharing FLV Movies

Hello,
I have a flv player and I would like to include the option to
share the movie you just watched. I am very stupid with flash so
any help is vary appreciated. If someone can help me great but if
you just point me to where I can find some more info about this is
ok also. Thanks

The concept of sharing is pretty straightforward, but I can
only recommend some general steps in a reply:
1. Create a form with textfields in Flash that appear when
the user clicks a Share button. You'll need a "to:" field for the
receipient email, and probably a comment field.
2. Create a server-side script (e.g. php, asp, etc) that can
accept the form data. Have the server generate an email and include
the link to the URL hosting the FLV file.
Is that helpful?

  • Itunes 12 can't import shared home movie to iTunes library

    HI. I am trying to import, or add to my desktop iTunes library, a shared home movie. I have file sharing turned on with both my laptop and desktop. I can see, from my desktop, the shared home movies, and I can even play them, but I cannot find an option to import them into the desktop library. I use my desktop to sync my iPad and ultimately I want to add the movies to my iPad. How do I import a shared home movie from my laptop to desktop, not just see it and play it from sharing?

    Join the crowd. If you search this and other forums on the web, you'll find that Home Sharing has limited functionality on PC and Mixed PC-Mac networks. It works fine, Mac to Mac, it appears, but PC's seem unable to talk to Macs or one another on many, many, many people's home shared networks. I hope that Apple finds a way to improve this aspect of iTunes or at least expands its troubleshooting recommendations in the support database.

  • Diff b'twn sharing a movie to DVD and importing movie project to iDVD?

    I'm a relative newbie so bear with me if this is a dumb question. What's the difference (if any) between sharing a movie in iMovie 09 to DVD vs opening iDVD and importing a movie project?
    Someone at my local Apple store told me the former would only enable you to view the movie on a Mac, while the latter was necessary if you wanted to view the movie through a conventional DVD player. True? Seems odd to me and the iMovie 09 tutorial does not mention this if I recall correctly.
    Bottom line, is there a difference? Which is better and why? Thanks.
    (I will have to burn some to PAL for relatives overseas)

    Not sure for imovie 9, but in iMovie 6 and previous versions, sharing directly from iMovie to iDVD is not recommended because the video will be rendered by both iMovie and iDVD. Importing into iDVD avoided this double rendering. So the quality is better using the import method.

  • FLV movies now poor quality

    Hi All,
    I'm really struggling with this. In the past using DWCS3 I
    have embedded FLV movie files into websites without a problem. For
    example,
    http://www.davehollington.co.uk/Video/video%20strangers.html
    However, no matter what I do now with DWCS4, whenever I
    embedd an FLV movie, the playback quality is jerky and poor. For
    example,
    http://www.cupcakemakeandbake.co.uk/lookatus/ourvideos.html
    Even if I embed the first movie into a new page, it results
    in a jerky (as if frames are skipping) playback.
    I am not doing anything different. So, can anyone tell me if
    they experience the same issue or even what I can do to resolve it?
    Cheers.

    It isn't DW, but a combination of how you compressed the
    video, the
    speed of your Web servers, the speed of your (my) connection,
    and all
    the connections in between.
    In my case, both of those videos paused for buffering.
    FWIW, I see you compressed cupcakemakeandbake_VP6_512K.flv
    with:
    Video: 364 Kbps
    Audio: 128 Kbps
    For a total 492 K throughput rate. For my connection (basic
    cable,
    typically 5 MB), I get my best results when I compress for a
    total of
    300 Kbps. Likewise for my clients, though I send those
    through a
    streaming server.
    And even though strangersinthenight.flv is compressed at a
    much higher
    rate, my connection to davehollington.co.uk (talk-101) is
    much faster
    than my connection to cupcakemakeandbake.co.uk (123-reg) -
    today. In
    fact, my tracert to cupcakemakeandbake.co.uk timed out at 30
    hops twice
    while writing this.
    Suggestion:
    Try compressing the videos to a lower total throughput rate
    with the
    software you're using to create the .flv files.
    You could also try a test with the cupcake video on your
    davehollington.co.uk server to see if it is running from a
    better host.
    I can tell you that my connection to cupcakemakeandbake.co.uk
    from here
    California isn't ideal at this moment.

  • FLV movie not playing in webpage

    Hi,
    I need help here as I'm completely baffled.
    I have created a. FLV movie which is placed in a webpage
    created in Dreamweaver 8. I created the FLV in Flash 8 by importing
    the Video and creating the Controls etc and placing all the files
    in the same directory as the page.
    On my own home computers, and also from the Hardrive, the
    movies work fine.
    When placed on the work intranet site, the page loads, but
    the FLV file is just a white blank page.
    Is there something that needs to be chnaged on the Webserver
    to play FLV's or am i missing something here.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Update:
    Still cant figure out why the FLV file is a white box, but,
    If I open the html page directly on the server it plays perfectly.
    It seems to fail when opened from a linked page which is one
    directory back.
    for example I have a list of links on a page.
    link one
    link two
    link three
    each of these links target the html page in
    Folder1/linkone.html
    Folder2/linktwo.html
    Folder3/linkthree.html
    Each folder has its required flv file and swf file beside the
    html file.
    If I doubleclick the linkone.html file directly from the
    directory, it works fine.
    But if I click the link from link one.html the page loads
    fine but the movie stays white.

  • Integrating .flv movie into Adobe Presenter

    I'm using an external .flv movie in a Adobe Presenter project
    that I'm working on. The file is played in a .swf controller that I
    have used in other Breeze presentations with succes. When published
    to my computer the presentation plays perfect. But once I upload it
    to the server it no longer works. I'm using Sorensen Squeeze to
    compress the .flv file but I'm worried that I'm using the wrong
    compression. Can any one give me the specifications for .flv movies
    to be used in Adobe Presenter.

  • Activity Window Shows "Forbidden" When Attempting to Play FLV Movies

    I've noticed a problem for the past few months using both Safari 2 and 3 that when I go to certain web sites with embedded FLV movies, if I click on the movie, I get an error at the bottom of the Safari window that tells me to check the Activity window. When I do, I see that the specific URL for the embedded movie shows a status of "Forbidden." However, if I click on the link to view the movie directly from the source site (not the embedded version), I have no problems. If I try the same thing in Firefox, the embedded movies always play fine. I'm running the latest version of Flash (just downloaded 9.0.115 today) and still have the issue. Any idea why a movie won't play when it's embedded but plays fine if you go to the site directly? What could be causing a response of "Forbidden"?

    Happy Dance!! I purchased a TV Show and it solved everything. I like the product... now, but what a pain all around, with very little direction. Thank goodness for forums like this. What a nice way to outsource your support to you customers! If it helps anyone, this is what I went through to gt everything working across a wireless AirPort Extreme network (iMac source):
    1. Followed instruction out of the box, connected to network fine, established connection to iTunes fine, set up sync fine
    2. Couldn't play any purchased content on ATV (unauthorized), logged in about 5 times on ATV, which is a PITA, no luck
    3. Unplugged ATV, plugged back in, login in was successful
    4. White screen on video, couldn't play purchased music
    5. Purchased TV episode, everything played fine
    Between steps 4 & 5 I also unnecessarily did the following over the course of a day:
    1. Reset ATV
    2. Reset ATV to factory
    3. Removed ATV from iTunes
    4. Deauthorized/reauthorized Tunes
    5. Changes every video setting thinking that it was my TV, as Apple would never release a buggy product in the market
    Anyway, thanks for the hints, as now I'm liking this little piece of gear.

  • Stopping an flv movie?

    I need to stop an flv movie when I click a button that is not on the control bar. e.g. I have three pages in flash and when I navigate from the videos page after starting the playback of the movie, the audio from the movie continues to play. I have no idea why this is. Please, any help is appreciated. I only have about 2 hours to fix this. :/

    I have no idea how to do that, sorry for being a pain.

  • How to use a Buffer on a flv movie inserted in flash

    I've inserted a flv movie in my swf and, because it has 7.5Mb
    I want to use a buffer when it is played.

    Click on the FLPlayback component and open open the Component
    Inspector window. There will be an entry for Buffer, change it from
    .01 (or blank) to something between 15 to 45 (seconds).

  • How to burn .flv movie files to a viewable dvd

    i have an older macbook (2ghz intel duo core 2 duo, 2 gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram). i would like to burn some .flv movie files to a dvd which can be viewed on an ordinary dvd player. (i am unfamiliar with the computer's movie making software, unfortunately) is there a simple, user friendly method to do this? any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    Have you tried just dragging them into iDVD? Don't see any reason why that shouldn't  work. Not saying you'll get the greatest quality.

  • After sharing my movie I can only perform rolling edits...

    Hey Guys,
    Thanks to anyone that can help me solve this. 
    I shared my movie and can no longer edit normally with the precision editor.  Every time I adjust one of the edit points the clip I am extending covers a portion of an existing neighboring clip rather than changing the length of my project.  I don't want to loose or cover the neighboring clip's cut. 
    I am using imovie 10.3 on an airbook.
    I am trying to edit my daughter's school project which is due soon, so any timely suggestions are appreciated!
    Thanks.

    Burning a movie file onto a DVD disk via the Finder only creates a data disk. What you need to do is create a video DVD disk.
    Therefore youi need to use iDVD, import the movie file into an iDVD project and burn the project to a disk which creates a video DVD disk that will play on any settop DVD player.
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • When I try to File Save As on an .FLV movie, Firefox automatically changes the filetype to .mp4 while Chrome for instance retains the .FLV file type. I wanted to see why this is and how it can be fixed to work similarly to Chrome. Thanks.

    If that file is an FLV file then Firefox should save it as such and not change the file extension.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Sharing MobilMe movies with others

    I recently shared a movie I made in iMovie '09 with friends. One friend and wife could not open the movie on their computer. One was using a Sony PC with Windows. His wife was using Vista. Neither of them could open the movie. Can anyone help with this so I could pass on advice to them as to what they or I should do?

    They need to download QuickTime Player, which is a free download from Apple.
