Streaming video in a projector file

Hello - I created a projector file that has a section with streaming video. For some reason, it automatically goes to fullscreen when I go to this section. What do I do to make the video NOT play in fullscreen, but just staying within the stage exactly how I placed it? any help is greatly appreciated.

First, you'll need to include the QT video file on the CD.
See the manual and
search for past posts in here to avoid the dreaded "Where
is..." dialog.
You can include the QT installer on the CD if you sign and
comply with
Apple's free Software Distribution Agreement.

Or you could simply make it a requirement for the CD and
supply a download
link for them. I just tried
http://www.quicktime.com and
got redirected
automatically to a QT for Windows page.

"hint tracks" are required. QuickTime Player Pro can add them.

Is this Possible? Stream Video File using Server or Encoder?

Is it possible to stream a video file (.mp4) Live using the Flash Media Encoder or by placing the file in an app instance on a flash media streaming server?
Thanks!

First of all lets call it Flash Media Interactive Server (adding Streaming becomes little confusing to readers as we have Flash Media Streaming Server) - both are FMS but two different edition.
Now coming to FMIS, you can place all your video files in "streams" directory of application in the simplest configuration and then use Server-side API Class "Stream" to play them. When you use Stream class to play VOD files, it basically becomes live publish and is available as live stream. I will give you simple code snippet which will explain what i am saying above:
var myStream;
application.onAppStart = function(){
     myStream = Stream.get("livestream");
     myStream.onStatus = function(info){
          trace("Info code:"+info.code);
    myStream.play("mp4:myvod.f4v",0,-1,true);
Now client will subscribe to live stream using stream name as "livestream" and it will basically get all the content of mp4:myvod.f4v
Say if you save above code in file named main.asc and place it in application folder named "test" on FMS, you will need to copy "mp4:myvod.mp4" inside "streams" i.e. create "_definst_" folder or any instance name folder under "streams" folder of "test" and place the file there
Hope this helps

Embedding video into Projector file

First of all, sorry, I know this question has been asked
before, but I couldnt find an answer in the other threads.
I am looking for a way to embed my mov files into the .exe
projector file so you do not need to include the mov files on the
final disc. The reason I need this is because I am creating an
enchanced DVD, which included DVD footage which you can watch on a
TV, but when the DVD is in a PC, you can click on a button which
launches a projector file. The only prob is that I can only link to
1 file, and this one file is then embedded in the video TS file.
Hope this makes sense.

You cannot embed video content as such. You may be able to
use a binary io xtra such as
vList
to create an internal member with the same data as the external
video file, but you will need to write the internal member back out
to the hard disk before Director will be able to play it. You could
then delete the temporary file.
There are ways to retrieve the media of internal members
(other than scripts) from a protected cast. The strongest
protection you could apply would be encryption to the internal
member. Having said that, during the time the video file is on the
hard disk, a savvy and unscrupulous user could copy it for playback
elsewhere.
In other words, there is no way to protect your video file
completely.

Streaming video using Frontpage 2003 and Quicktime .mov files

What is the proper way to stream video files. I created a .mov file using iLife and I use Frontpage 2003 to upload to my website.
I read in Microsft's official book on FrontPage2003 that all I had to do was to insert a movie file into a web page, just like inserting a picture. I was also told that I do not have to have the file on a streaming server, I could just keep it on the regular web site.
The file does download to the browser, but it does not start the video playing.
Do I need to do something elese? Or do I have to have the file on a streaming server.
Thanks
George

"Streaming" QT files requires Streaming Server software.
Your files probably just "download" via http protocols.
And, since the recent update to Internet Explorer for PC's, the page code syntax has changed from that used in your FrontPage files.
Your "page code" tells the plug-in what to do with your file. If you're directly linking to QT content then it is bypassing the plug-in and your entire file must download before playback can begin.
Some links for you:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011
Explains the structure needed for embedded files.
And now, the new news from Microsoft regarding Internet Explorer:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
You need to change the "tags" to include autoplay="true" (and a few extra tags for the new M$ update).

FLV files set for streaming video not working

Hi,
I have been using Captivate 4 for some time using imported FLV and progressive download options. Playback is too slow, so I am trying to use a streaming service (Limelight Networks Flash Video Streaming Service). I took an existing Captivate project, uploaded the FLV file to the streaming service and select the following in Captivate under the Flash Video tab:
Video type: Streaming video
Server URI: points to server, app, instance from provider (eg: rtmp://xxx.net/yyy/zzz...)
Stream name: filename.flv
I publish (htm and swf files are local, flv is on the streaming provider's machine) and try to playback. Captivate loads and after a time I get an error saying that a script is causing the flashplayer to run slowly (version 10). It then locks up (tested in IE, Firefox and Chrome). I've changed options in Captivate such as Flashplayer version (from 8-10) and buffer delay, to no avail. No video played. Previously the video played in the project as a progressive download.
Help appreciated!

Hi Ashwin,
This still hasn't worked for us. We have been given a server name in this format: rtmp://server.name.net/ and an application name in the format app/name, which together form a url: rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
Then I have the move file in a subdirectory (/test) from this base url and finally the filename: myvideo.flv
So putting it together I have tried in Captivate:
Streaming
field 1: rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
field 2: /test/myvideo.flv
or
rtmp://server.name.net/app/name/test
myvideo.flv
or
rtmp://server.name.net/app/name
/test/myvideo
and other combations of these three. I've eliminated the flv extension, tried with and without preceding (/) and trailing (/) (eg: /test/... vs test/... or).
None of these seem to work. I can play the flv directly using a client called WIMPY so I know the streaming service works. With that client I enter a fully qualified path such as: rtmp:/server.name.net/app/name/test/myvideo.flv and it works flawlessly.
Thanks for your assistance.

How to store streaming video file

Hello friend
Am streaming video file with use of VLC player,while streaming the video file i want to receive and store the video file.

You first need to know, how VLC streams the data. If you know that, you have to write client code, which can connect to VLC and receive packets. The next step would be to analyze the packets and extract the video/ausio data from it and write it to a file. But all depends on what video format is streamed with which protocol.

Streaming videos in multiple-bitrates without manually creating video files in each b

I want to have a media file that I can stream at multiple bitrates using FFMPEG (for encoding and multiple bitrate generation) and Flash Media Server (for streaming).
In "LIVE BROADCASTING" ffmpeg made multiple bitrate videos from a single bitrate source but there were no files for the different bitrates. A file would be created for different bitrates when a viewer requested that bitrate streaming video but when a request was terminated the generated file was deleted.
So I searched in Flash Media Server and found (hds-vod), but in hds-vod I should create one file for every bitrate, for example if I have 2000 videos in my archive with HD quality (1024 kbps) I should make 4 videos with different bitrates from one video and together I have created 10,000 videos.
So to have 2000 videos in five bitrates (1024k, 760k, 320k, 145k, 64k), and now I have 10,000 videos. I have space for 2000 videos and I don't have free space in my server for 10,000 video files.
I want to stream "ON-DEMAND" videos in my server and not have the different bitrate files be continually generated like this.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thank you

Unfortunately, you cannot organize the videos on your iPod Touch differently than the way they do it. That *****, I know. Hopefully this will change with 2.0.
Hope that was helpful.

Unable to view streaming video

I could view a streaming video using following address rtsp://138.133.71.2:554/file/ when using Quicktime 6. However, I have upgraded to Quicktime 7 Pro and I am now unable to view the streamed video. I am using Windows 2000 on a PC and streaming the video from a camera through a DSP Board to the PC. (The PC is not connect to the Internet)

Download the Flash Player Uninstaller and Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers) by right clicking and selecting "Save Link as".
Close Firefox.
Run the uninstaller.
Run the installer to replace the plugin.
Open Firefox and click Tools>Add-ons.
Check under Plugins that Flash Player is "always activated".
If it still won't load, check your other plugins. There may be an ad blocker that's preventing it.

My macbook has problems streaming video when using an external monitor

I have a MacBook from 2007. I have a converter so that the MacBook can be connected to an external monitor, and have connected it to my TV. This works fine, but if I am streaming videos and trying to watch on the TV, the streaming becomes very choppy, almost like the wireless connection is too slow. If I unplug the computer from the TV, however, the streaming returns to normal. I previously connected to a TV with an S-video connection and the problem did not seem as prominent. Now I am connecting to a HD tv using an HDMI connection.
Any suggestions for how to alleviate this? I haven't updated or upgraded the memory or RAM, possibly that would help? Would the amount of files I am storing be causing the problem? I currently have 50 GB available.
Thanks for any help!
Conor

Make sure your Mac is set to a resolution and frequency that your monitor supports.
The other possibility is that your graphics card is fried, but that seems unlikely since your computer is new. Before too long, you should make sure your graphics card is OK using the Apple Hardware Test, but I'm not sure how reliable that is because it claims that my partially broken graphics card is OK.

Can I stream video from my mac to apple tv the same way my ipad or ipod does?

I just got my AppleTV hoping to stream video to it from my iMac. I'm seeing this is possible with mirroring, but there was a ton of lag between the computer and tv, and the sound and video would skip horribly. I plugged the ATV into our ethernet and that has helped tremendously, but there is still some visual lag and skipping going on with the video, noticable enough to drive me crazy when watching something like a movie.
However, I noticed that when I stream the same video to ATV with my iPad, it uses a method other than mirroring; the video is greyed out on the iPad with the ATV symbol on it and sends the video to the tv instead, and it plays seamlessly! I wish I could say this is the solution to my own problem, but most videos I wish to watch are in a flash format, which does not work on iPad and I would therefore need to use my iMac instead.
So, leading back to the title now, is it possible to stream a video on the iMac without using mirroring, such as how ever it is the iPad and iPod are able to do it?
My iMac is the newest model currently out I believe. 27", i7 intel processor. The AppleTV is also the newest generation I believe. I just got both barely two weeks ago from the store here.
Any help is appreciated, let me know if you need any more information.
Thanks!

I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
As Keithjammer indicates, the TV2 does not "mirror" your screen as the platform's video interface does. Instead, the TV2 device is a wired/wireless remote multimedia player. As such, it only plays files in a compatible compression format. To do what you want it to do would require your platform to first compress the screen audio/video data to a compatible format and then stream it to the device in real time.
I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
Yes, only files can be streamed. You can, of course, capture your screen audio and video data to a compatible file and then stream the file to the TV2 device.
...except from both London Drugs (where I purchased it) and Best Buy (where I double checked).

How can i stream video from Safari my MacBook Air to Apple TV.

I've been tryingt o stream videos from my Mac Book Air to Apple TV that is connected to my projector but dont seem to see any options in safari to stream to Apple TV. Have anyone tried this? Is this possible? My IPad can do it but dont understand why Mac Book cant. Please assist!

I Figured it out! I put the Display chooser into the toolbar on the MacBook Air and there is a little selection that allows Mirroring. I switched it on, got video, sound, and a happy man on my hands. AND I found the correct answer myself, heh, heh, heh.

Is it possible to stream video into a PDF document with HTML 5?

I'm trying to get around using flash to stream videos into my interactive PDF documents, as it's not supported on iOS. I'm wondering if there's a way to use HTML 5 to acomplish something similar. I have access to both InDesign CC and the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Pro.

An alternative is to separate the quiz pages to a separate document and include it in the main PDF as a file attachment. You can create links in the main document to the attachment so that it opens in a new window. When this quiz document is closed, the main document will be open.

Is there any way to change a title for streaming video in QT Pro?

I'm trying to follow several streaming feeds at the same time, all with unhelpful titles.
For example, this is the URL I'm using to view the ROV 2 feed for Discoverer Enterprise.
http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327
which results in the title, reflector:21145.asx?bkup=21327.

Actually, what I was wanting to know is if I could just change the title while watching the streaming video rather than saving the feed. I can do this in a VLC playlist but I can't seem to figure out how to open multiple windows for feeds in VLC. Also, VLC doesn't let me go back in the cached feed to see and/or save snippets which I can easily do in QuickTime Pro.
I have been able to save the streaming feeds like this although I have the $30 upgrade for Flip4Mac which I needed to export for YouTube. There may be a way to do the same thing with something free but I know less than nothing about video and this worked.
Move the playhead slider to start of snippet
Type "i" to get slider for start of snippet
Move the playhead slider to end of snippet
Type "o" to get slider for end of snippet
Adjust the "i" and "o" sliders if needed.
Right click on the feed and choose copy.
Go to File -> New Player (command N)
Go to Edit -> Paste (command V)
Go to File -> Save (command S) and save as self-contained movie
After that I use the file I just saved with the directions on YouTube to export it to a file that will process on their site.
Here is an example that shows a ROV being lowered from the deck of its mothership into the water.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsYinE5cNx8
I saved it from this streaming feed which I loaded into QuickTime Pro (File -> Open URL or command U and paste URL). I seem to recall I needed the free Flip4Mac to view this in QuickTime.
http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:47175.asx?bkup=21144
I'm all set with what I want to do other than being able to change the titles on the feeds as I'm watching them in QuickTime Pro.
