Streaming Videos into an Article

I'm currently trying to reduce my apps file size by hosting videos on a youtube. Is it possible to stream video into an article within my folio and recreate the same viewing experience as the video player? Can I fit the streamed video to certain size ? Play full screen, etc? I'm trying to do it using the web content overlay feature but it loads the entire webpage and not just the video. Thanks Cam

I don't know if streaming video works perfectly yet, but I did try to stream a video from Vimeo yesterday in a web content overlay. I used the Embed code from the Vimeo page (click Share, then copy Embed code) and created an HTML file in Dreamweaver and inserted that code into the body. Saved the file, and added it to the web content overlay and it works.
I set the overlay dimensions to match the dimensions in the embed code, and when playing the video I was able to click on the Fullscreen icon to get it to render fullscreen but quality is based on the Vimeo source file.
The v22 release notes mention improvements with video streaming (I'm still on v21) so that tells me there might be some limitations or drawbacks currently, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about it yet to know what those might be.
I hope this helps,
Paul

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.

Streaming video into HTML5 content

Hi
I just wanted to check that it is possible to stream (rather than progressively download) video into captivate HTML5 output. I know this can be done when outputting to to SWF but my client wants to go HTML5 only and the video content has to hosted off the LMS
I quote
.... media files must be externalized, e.g., separate zip and be either a) hosted by and accessed from the vendor site (preference) or b) hosted on an internal media site (secondary).
Any help/thoughts much appreciated!

Try the option menu Video/Insert Video/Event Video, off course as quoted on the window itself the video must be on a media streaming.
If doesnt work, one time I have to use a streaming video too, I use the youtube widget and uploaded my videos to youtube so youtube will handle all streaming (the best choice for me).
In another project I needed an small intro video, so I used JS (using methods like listeners and jquery) to
create a video element with a preloader:
var videoIntroElement = document.createElement("video");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("id", "videoIntroElement");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("autoplay", "true");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("preload", "auto");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("width", "100%");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("height", "100%");
videoIntroElement.setAttribute("type", "video/mp4");
var videoIntroElementIconLoading = document.createElement("img"); document.getElementById("div_Slide").appendChild(videoIntroElementIconLoading) ;
$(videoIntroElement).bind("ended", function() {
startCourse();
That´s it you have a lot of options.

How to combine Streaming video into interMedia/BC4J?

Hi,
Based on interMedia/BC4J tutorials, I try to play streaming video. But the problem is it only can browse local files, not include website. Would you please tell me how to make it?

Hi,
The JDev3.2 generated BC4J JSP application doesn't allow you to load content from a URL. What you can do is save the URL content to your file system as a file. Then load it using the JSP application. (I know you don't like it. :-) But that's the only way to do it by using the generated BC4J JSP app.
If you want to write a BC4J JSP app from the scratch, then you can have total control of how it looks like and how it works. The interMedia Java Classes have APIs, such as OrdVideo.loadDataFromInputStream(java.io.InputStream), to let you load data from a URL.
thanks,
Richard

Embed streaming video from my own Server into InDesign CS5

Hi all,
I try to place a streaming video into my Indesign CS5 Document. InDesing seems to find the File, cause it shwos up the preview image in the Media Window, but the videoslider nor the play-button of the media-window is working.
the link (Red5 Streaming Server):
rtmp://87.230.53.80/oflaDemo/personaltv/bewerbermagazin/wuerzburg/test/video.flv
When I export it as an interactive PDF, and I click on the videoframe, it first shows the security dialog as expected, but after that it is only the empty player and the progressbar looks like it can not connect to the streaming server.
Is there a workaround?
Thanks in Advance for any hint!
P.S.: If I load it from my webserver via http:// ... it works great.

I think this isn't really an InDesign issue at all. It sounds like an Acrobat issue.
First, you haven't said what version of Acrobat you're using. I'm assuming Acrobat X Pro?
I've used this with a friend's Flash Media Server so I know it works. What version of Flash server do you have installed?
I the link you provide I see a spaceband after the word "test" in the path. Could that be a problem?
Other than that, it appears that you're following the requirements listed in the Help file for Acrobat X Pro.
If you have further problems, you might post this on the Acrobat User Forum.

Does Captivate 7/8 support *Dynamic* Streaming Video for synchronized Multi-Slide videos?

I'm experimenting with inserting Streaming Video into Captivate Lessons. I've set up an Adobe Media Server (AMS) to stream the video.
When inserting Multi-Slide Synchronized video, it's not clear whether/how I can insert a Dynamic Streaming Video link in a synchronized Multi-Slide Video.
(The Dynamic videos can switch between videos of varying quality based on the user's available bandwidth.)
I think you're supposed use a URL that points to a manifest file (.F4M), which catalogs the videos of varying bitrates. However, I can't seem to get it to work in Captivate and Adobe is a little vague on how/if one references the manifest file. (i.e. I can't find any examples.)
So, does Captivate support dynamic streaming video?
If not, which is more robust in Captivate? HTTP progressive download or regular (non-Dynamic) RTMP Streaming Video?

Thanks Erik.
We did some more tests/checking-around and have convinced ourselves that the URL needs to point to the manifest file in order for Dynamic Media Streaming to work.
When we examined the Adobe Media Server sample web page (below), we found buttons to select different media sources.
The 'Multiple Bitrate' button under RTMP Dynamic Streaming Sample is mapped to the URL of an F4M (manifest) file.
The 'Single Bitrate' button is mapped to an individual mp4 file.
We also found more clues in the FlowPlayer RTMP F4M page.
Also, I'm guessing that Captivate can't handle adaptive bitrate streaming from non-RTMP sources based on the menu options. (See screen capture below)
If the menu above is correct, the first choice is the opposite of streaming media, because it says 'Progressive Download'. (Progressive download caches the video file on the client machine.)
The next one is for private Adobe Media Streaming and the third is for 3rd-party Adobe Media Streaming services.
So, I'm pretty much convinced that it's not supported.

Streaming video in a video overlay plays automatically...from different article

I have a DPS app with several videos throughout. The videos are part of a MSO - where the first state is the poster image and when clicked it goes to the second state where the video is called via a Video overlay and the videos sit on a web server.
I've noticed that even though I was browsing an article that already had a video on a page, a different video (from the next article) started playing - going to that article I could see the poster was still showing but the sound from the video was playing nevertheless.
the MSO is not set to autoplay - just to vector
the video overlay is set to autoplay (but since the video is on the second state it shouldn't really play until you get to that state?)
any ideas how to solve this issue?
many thanks
Mariya

hi Bob
no, the text should not stay over the video. The original MSO works like this - state 1 is what you see in the screengrab - poster + text. State two is just the video which is the same size as the poster image without text. Clicking on the poster takes you to the second state and the video plays (streaming from a web server).
The main issue is that the sound I hear belongs to a video which sits on the next article... if i trigger the current article video the other sound stops; if i go to the page of next article containing the MSO with the video - it continues playing sound but the MSO stays on the poster image state.... do you think this is something I should raise with our Adobe support contacts? Originally the videos in the app were streaming from YouTube but apparently there is an issue with the YouTube API and iOS8 and this we decided to stream the videos from our server.
Do you think nesting 2 MSO could be a workaround... I'm thinking about trying to nest the video into a further 2-state MSO with auto-play set to "yes"....

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

MPEG Streamclip.
Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

Need Help Streaming Video From Web Server Built Into Application - Linksys WRT54g Router

Very much appreciate any help getting streaming video feed from web server built into video application to work properly using port forwarding on my Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
Here is the situation:
My PC is connected to the internet via a Linksys WRT54g wireless router.
The Windows XP Pro SP2 firewall is enabled, with a firewall exception established for the video camera application.
On the router, forwarding of port 80 is enabled for the LAN IP address of the PC running the video application with an embedded web server, and the web server in the video camera application is also set to use port 80.
I have a free DYNDNS account and also run the DYNDNS updater program on the PC running the video application with embedded web server. According to the DYNDNS web site and the DYNDNS updater program, the IP address assigned to the machine running the video application with embedded web server is set correctly in my dyndns account.
When I open a browser (Explorer or Firefox) on the PC running the video camera application with embedded web server, I am able to connect to the video application's web server by going to the dyndns address linked to the machine running the video application. The video application's web server is set to use the dyndns address. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't connect to the video application's web server from any machine that connects to the internet that uses a router other than the router used by the PC running the video application. I am only able to connect to the streaming video from the application's web server only on machines that connect to the internet using the same (home) router used by the PC that is running the video application.
Since I am able to connect to the video app's embedded web server successfully on the machine running the video application, it seems that at least something about the current port forwarding settings is correct. For example, if I uncheck 'enable' for forwarding of port 80 on the router settings page, I am no longer able to connect to the video app's web server when I try to do so in a browser running on the machine running the video app. When I re-enable port 80 forwarding on the router, I am again able to connect to the web server of the video application on the machine running the video app. I thought that by enabling forwarding of port 80 on the router and associating that port with the LAN IP of the machine running the video application, it would be possible to connect to the streaming video of the video app's embedded web server from ANY machine connected to the internet, but that is not the case. There must be some other router settings to update/change in order to get the port forwarding working to enable a successful connection to the video web server, but I am stumped. Very grateful for any suggestions as to how to get this working properly.
Thanks in advance...

The firewall log can be configured on the third tab in the window for the firewall settings, where you can turn the firewall on and off completely.
From your tests, though, it does not seem to be the firewall. However, to be sure, it would be good to check the log. It will help to eliminate the firewall as the culprit and you may find it handy in the future, too. ;-) Just don't forget to turn the log off again after you are done because it may cause some performance penalty on your system while on.
From what you write, it seems as if I should give a little networking background on the ip addresses you'll see. Your setup is (or should be) a modem connected to the WAN/Internet port of the WRT. The computer is connected into a LAN port of the WRT.
Your router has two IP addresses (that's what makes it a router): a WAN address and a LAN address. The WAN address is the address assigned by the ISP. It is a normal internet IP address. Everyone is able to send packets to this IP address. The WAN address is the one reported by whatismyipaddress.com, it should be listed in the dyndns record and it is the address that your router shows on the Status page. It's the public IP address of your router. Dyndns maps your dyndns.org name to that IP address.
Your router also has an IP address on the LAN side. You can configure it to be whatever you want. The default is 192.168.1.1 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is better to leave it like that or at least inside the network 192.168.*.*. 192.168 is a special, reserved IP address range for private networks. Basically, routers in the internet are not supposed to forward addresses in this range. That makes them suitable for private LANs as the packets never can get anywhere. Most people using Linksys routers have there LAN in 192.168.1.*.
The router acts as gateway, which means it forwards packets from PCs in the LAN to the internet and back. As all your PCs in your LAN share a single WAN IP address, the gateway does address translation (NAT). This works only in one direction: from the inside to the outside. The router remembers when a PC in your LAN sends something out and accepts the responses in and sending them back to the PC. If something comes in from the internet which cannot be associated with a ongoing communication the packet is dropped unless you use port forwarding.
All computers in your LAN either have a static IP address assigned or use DHCP to get it automatically. The router has a DHCP server as well which gives out IP address from 192.168.1.100-149 if not changed. With a router with default settings static IP addresses can be in the range of 192.168.1.2-99 and 150-254.
ipconfig /all reports your IP address in your LAN, i.e. an address 192.168.1.*. The gateway in this output should be 192.168.1.1 which is your router. And packet no in the LAN address range 192.168.1.* is send to the router which forwards the packets into the internet.
An address 192.168.1.* should not appear as internet address in the Status page of the router nor should it appear at dyndns.
Port forwarding is used to operate a server in the LAN. By default, a server in the LAN cannot be reached from the internet. You have to configure port forwarding for this. You configure that traffic bound for a specific port (e.g. TCP port 80 for http) on your WAN IP address is forwarded to the same port on a specific LAN IP address. If your server runs on 192.168.1.50 than traffic to your WAN IP address port 80 is forwarded to 192.168.1.50 port 80. That way your HTTP server can be reached from the internet. As you can only configure a fixed IP address in port forwarding it is recommended that the server uses a static IP address and not DHCP as in the latter case the IP address may change over time...
O.K. so much for networking. I hope that makes things a little clearer and you can verify that your setup is how it is intended to be.
I suggest the following: on the router's security page there is an option to block WAN requests. Remove the check if it is set (meaning: do not block). After you did that change you should be able to ping your WAN address (e.g. ping xxxx.dyndns.org) from the internet. That way we know that it is on the correct address.
Also on the Administration page make sure that remote management is disabled (should be like that per default) or that the management port is NOT 80 but for example 8080. What is your your UPnP settings on the same page?
O.K. that should be enough for the moment...

Can I link video into my existing audio podcast stream?

I am a podcast producer for a non-profit and have just started doing videos too. How do I link video-casts into my show's existing podcast stream? I would appreciate help.
Thanks.

My original answer assumed you wanted to use streaming video, but probably I misread what you intended: the term 'stream' doesn't apply to a podcast. You can add video episodes to your podcast feed - there's no problem about some episodes being audio and some video.
Your video file must be .m4v, .mov or .mp4, not .wmv or .swf (Flash). You place them on an ordinary web server, just as you would with a web page, and link to them in the feed, which can be placed on the same server.
You should check that your server is configured to serve these video files - most are: enter the URL in Safari and the files should play in the browser window (you can also use FireFox but you will probably have to wait for the entire file to download before you can play it). If the browser downloads the file, or offers to, the server is not correctly configured and you need to talk to the people running it.
This page give you information on making a podcast, including a sample basic feed:

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).

Live Streaming Video

I am working on developing a capability for two client
programs to teleconference through a Flash Media Server.
I need to be able to support high quality video, 640x480 at
30 fps. I began by following the tutorial in "Beginner's guide to
streaming live video with Flash Media Server 3 by Tom Green. The
website is
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fashmediaserver/articles/beginner_live_fms3.html
I was able to use the Flash Media Encoder to save video to a
file and play it back in Flash. I ran into some trouble when I
attempted to stream live video following his example. I published
from the publish settings dialog. This resulted in the html and swf
files being created. I next opened the html file to attempt to view
the video stream. The Flash Media Encoder is running and streaming
video to the Flash Media Server. When I opened the html file I got
a message box that says Adobe Flash Security. It said "Adobe Flash
Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation." It said the swf
file is trying to communicate with localhost, an Internet-enabled
location. There is a settings button that is supposed to let you
allow the application to communicate with the Internet. When I
clicked on it the settings manager did not open as expected but a
dialog stating that an ActionScript error has occurred. It says
Security Error #2028.
What this ended up meaning was that I had to add the swf file
to the trusted list in the settings manager.
Because my browser was blocking popups I was unable to see
the settings manager to be able to address the
problem. I turned blocking off and was able to see the
settings manager dialog. In the settings manager dialog I was
able to add the swf as a trusted file. When I did this it
immediately worked.
There is a time lag in the client program though of about a
second and a half. I don't have any ideas yet on why this is. Maybe
this will go away when the encoder is removed. I need to be able to
have the client programs connect and publish directly without
having to run an encoder on each client site. Does anyone know if
this will fix the lag problem or if there is something else I could
do to fix it?

Hey freinds,
This can be done using RTSP protocol. Basically its streaming video from rstp server and/or http server. Any ideas, suggestions for that.
Give me some helpline guideline to work on it.
Looking ahead for your responses.
