Streaming video to flash player with cfcontent

I am trying to stream (Progressive DL) h264 video in a quicktime container or (an flv for that matter) to a flash video player (Slidesho pro). Whilst I can get video as a downloaded file which plays correctly.
If I call the qt movie directly there is no problem, the player handles it.
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="inline">
<cfheader name="content-type" value="video/quicktime">
<cfcontent type="video/quicktime" file="blah.mov">
What else do I need to put in this response to make it work ?
Does it need to be an octet stream ?
Finally I have NOT put in a content length as I understand that cfcontent usesand internal buffer so doesn't load the whole source file into memory first. (Thanks Ben Nadel's Blog)
REASON: Securing video.... Any answers out there please !!!!

Your headers might work only on Apple, because the Quicktime movie is native to Apple. In general, you would need an Apple plugin.
You should leave out the cfheader and cfcontent tag. Embed the movie using HTML's object and embed tags, much in the same way you would our own Adobe Flash movies.
<object id="moviePlayer" width="320" height="245"
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="blah.mov">
<param name="autoplay" value="false">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<embed src="blah.mov" width="320" height="240"
autoplay="false" controller="true"

Freezing on streaming video Adobe flash player 10

I am a newbie and have been experiencing major freezing when watching streaming video on Zap Live/Wildearth TV which uses Adobe Flash Player 10. I have upgraded the player and still getting freezing. Help please!

Odd. Revision3 works fine for me. In fact the opening shot of the video I tested is someone sitting at a desk with an Apple Macbook!
As you get the same error in all browsers, try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Video Pixelation occurs while recording the video using flash player

Hello,
I am recording the video using flash player 9 ( using the
flash media server 2.0 on the back end). Everything used to work
fine in the past. The quality of the flv video was good. Now
suddently, I have started seeing the pixelation in the recorded
video (very poor video quality). Nothing has been changed in the
code. However on the server side, I am not very sure if there is
any windows update has taken place and have caused the problem with
the codec on server.
However my understanding is that when we record the video
then flash player use its own codec not the flash media server.
Can any one help me on how I can get rid of pixelation
issues?
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards
Pradeep

Hello Melissa,
I might not be understanding the question right, but if you
are using Flash
Player 6, and the Flash Player 6 video player component, you
can resize the
video by resizing the component on the stage (just drag and
make it larger).
Let me know if that works for you.

Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
Thanks,

Serving tutorial videos in flash player

so encore has the 'export to flash" feature. it seems like it might be a good way to go for me becasue it prodcces a flash player with all my chapter markers in place.
i have a couple questions though
1. it is limited to 1280X720 - i would have to do custom flash development to overcome that?
2. how is the resulting videos that are called by the flashdvd.swf served? i mean if i have 1-2GB of video clips are they served one at a time when called by the player?
3. is there any way to get the flashdvd.swf to fallback on iOS and maintain all the funtionality ?

I have a few questions/observations:
1. it is limited to 1280X720 - i would have to do custom flash development to overcome that?
Way would you want to "overcome" those dimensions? are you aware of how video bitrate must increase exponentially to maintain same quality as smaller display size?
2. how is the resulting videos that are called by the flashdvd.swf served? i mean if i have 1-2GB of video clips are they served one at a time when called by the player?
Typical Web videos are progressively downloaded from a regular Web server. Of course you will need a Web hosting account. You might also want to look into pseudostreaming if you would like the viewer to be able to "seek" to any chapter without waiting for the entire video file to download.
http://flowplayer.org/plugins/streaming/pseudostreaming.html
1 to GB of tutorials... certainly can be done, but I'd recommend that you understand how video bitrate relates to viewer experience as well as the viewers Internet download speed. This bitrate will determine how large each video file will be.
3. is there any way to get the flashdvd.swf to fallback on iOS and maintain all the funtionality ?
Yes, you can use swfobject for Flash detection and then provide an alternate video format:
http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
Or, you might just want to use the mp4 video format and skip the Flash altogether. There are a number good players available, that will play the mp4... no Flash needed, like:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/players
For your review:
Video bit rate
Video bitrate is the minimum amount of data that must continually flow into the video player in order for the player to display that particular video uninterrupted. If that supply of data is not high enough, the video player will stop…. Wait for more data to download, then resume. The video bitrate is set as a parameter when the video is encoded.
One of the principle of goal setting is to "Begin with the end in mind". In this case it'll be very hard to give good recommendations because the end is not defined. So I'll just make a few assumptions and you can correct me as needed.
First, I'll assume that since you are converting to Flash, you want to deliver this video over the Internet. If that's true, then we'll have to make some assumptions on the Internet connection download speeds of your potential viewers. Let's just say that most have at least a 1.5Mb connection or faster.
OK, that would mean that a video bitrate of half that should usually provide a video download that is not interupped by buffering (most of the time anyway). So assuming a video bitrate of 750kbps, what would the optimum display dimensions be?
Before we decide, here's a little info about bitrate. For highest quality playback, the video bitrate is tied directly to the display dimensions. That is, the larger the display, the more incoming data is required to properly display the video. Think of bitrate in terms of a can of paint. If you have 1 quart of paint, you might be able to do a very nice job on a 32 X 24 foot area. But if you try to stretch that same amount of paint out over a 64 X 48 foot area, the coverage will not be nearly as good and you get poor results.
In the same way, a video displayed at 640 X 480 pixels will require 4 times the bitrate as a video displayed at 320 X 240 pixels to produce the same quality. So for example a video with a bitrate of 100kbps, displayed at 160 X 120 will produce the same quality results as a video with a bitrate of 1600kbps if displayed at 640 X 480.
So to boil it all down, video bitrates of 750kbps, even up to 1000kbps can usually get delivered of the Internet on most high speed connections. Higher bit rates may work for really fast connections but will cause problems for viewers with slower connections. Video display size has a direct bearing on the final quality. In the 750 to 1000kbps range, display size should be kept around 450 or 500 width max (and whatever height the aspect ratio calls for). Yes it can be displayed larger, but the quality will suffer.
Sound like your audio settings are fine, especially for Internet delivery.
As for framerate, maintain the original raw video framerate for best results. So if the video was shot at 24fps, leave it.
As for video converters, do you have the Flash 8 Video Converter? It works just fine for video to be delivered over the Internet. Remember, you are taking a Cadillac version of video (h.264 HD) and stuffing it into a Chevy body to get it to work over the Internet.

How much work is it to create a custom flash player with chapter navigation

I am bidding on a job to do a simple instructional video that will be about 2 minutes in length. The client wants me to put the video in a flash player that has some buttons on it that a user can click on to go to a specific step. The instructions will have, for example, 10 steps, so they want to be enable the view to click on any one of the step numbers to jump to that point in the video.
I did a google search for flash programmers who would quote me on how much they would charge me to create the flash player after I sent them an encoded video. The only company that bothered to give me a quote said that it would be 5 to 7 thousand dollars for them to create a flash player with navigation for me. I was thinking that this would be like a 2 or 3 hour job for someone who knows flash. Is it really that time-consuming to create a flash player with chapter navigation?
Am I starting to think that I am in the wrong business if you guys are getting $5k to $7k to set up a relatively simple player to put on a web page.
I've got the Master collection but have never wanted to take the time to learn flash. But if I could charge that much for jobs, maybe I better learn!

I don't really know how to do this but I've seen some things that make me think it isn't that hard to do at all.
You should be able to install "cue points" when you encode the video in the Media Encoder.
I'm sure there's a very simple way to make links which would target those cue points.
5k is absurd.

Video in Flash player does not play in C6

I have purchased Nokia C6-00, but in this phone videos do not play in Flash player. It gives me warning message that flash player required to play this video. On flash player site, it is mentioned that android 2.2 is required to install Flash player on your mobile.
How is it possible to play video in flash player on Nokia C6-00?

Symbian anna (new software version) update is available for C6-01 and C7 but there is no software update for C6-00 (with QWERTY keypad).
I am eagrly waiting for software update for C6-00. At least to provide support of FLASH LITE 4.0 so that flash video can be played on C6-00 handset.
I am facing one more problem with Skype utility on C6-00. I have installed latest Skype version on my mobile but even with 3.5G network speed, Skype login does not work.
When ever I sign-in on Skype, it will become idle in between signing process and nothing is happened and after frustration I have to close Skype application.

Activation Flash Player with AVANT Browser

Hello, can you help me for this question, please : I can't activate Flash Player with AVANT Browser.

Avant has a built in Flash blocker. You may have to disable it. Since it uses three different engines, you'll probably need to have BOTH plug-ins:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
And I'd follow the steps for IE:

Problems installing Flash player with IE

I am having problems with installing the macromedia Flash
player on Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 2000 pro. However the
thing is that with Firefox the flash player works fine. I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player with no success. The
install program will tell me flash player is installed, however on
every website with flash I get the square with the red cross in the
upper corner.
When browsing this forum I came across this thread:
Forum
thread .
In this thread it was advised to use the uninstaller which
can be found here:
Uninstaller. However
when I use this installer two files are left in the folder
c:\WINNT\System32\Macromed\Flash. The two files are GetFlash and
Flash9.ocx. When I try to remove the Flash folder manually I get
the following error message: Can not delete the file Flash9.ocx The
file is in use by another program. When I reboot and go the folder
again I still get this message. Could this be a problem so that the
Flash player will not install properly?
I hope that someone could help me fix this problem. In the
mean time I will use Mozilla Firefox as this browser does work how
it's supposed to.

Hi,
Which windows version you are currently using ?
If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, then Flash Player for Internet explorer is updated by the windows update by Microsoft so you need to update your Windows to get the latest version of Flash player.
Current version is 17.0.0.169
