SWF/FLV files show white/black bars on sides of frame

I have a recurring issue of bars showing up on the left and right side of my swf/flv frames.  The good news is the video plays on our site.  The bad news is the bars show up on some of the flash files (like on testimonials.html) and not on others (like wedding.html), even though I perceive I'm copying in the same code.

Hi
1st. I like many other will not download a zip file, can you post a link to the site?
It may be if you are using the same code but only changing the swf/flv file name, that the swf/flv's are smaller than the size specified in your object code - width="600" height="366".
If the swf/flv's size is smaller then the player will be the size specified, but your swf/flv will be centralized inside the player, (unless otherwise specified) resulting in the white/black bars.

  • Test page shows only black bars

    I followed Bob's instructions and actually got my Designjet to wake up!  I have its parallel cable connected to a USB adapter and programmed to the USB001 virtual port in my newer windows 7-64 bit computer.  I use the driver for the HP Designjet 600 (E/a0) which has always worked fine on my old 32-bit windows xp pro computer.  The plotter responds to the 'print test page' command but shows solid black bars instead of text.  Suggestions anyone?  (I paid $5500 for this beautiful machine and it runs as good as new.  I refuse to throw it in the landfill.  My original deskjet 882c still runs perfectly, despite all the windows upgrades over the past 30 years.  If they're not willing to maintain their drivers, HP should disclose that their plotters have limited lifespans no matter how much they cost.)

    I'm not computer expert but I solved my own problem getting my Designjet c1633b to print new autocad drawings through my 64bit computer.  All I had to do what plot my drawings to pdf files.  I was then able to print out the pdf's on my 24 year old HP Designjet like it was brand new.  I had a small problem at first: my drawings were shrunk and the margins were oversized so the scale of the printed image was off.  I solved that by setting the pdf print command to "full size".   Sorry HP, but as long as this beautiful machine keeps running, I'll keep using it.

    Look as if you're having a GPU glitch. If I were you, I'd take the computer into your local Apple Store and run extensive diagnostics on it. You can do a basic hardware check yourself, using the Apple Hardware Test.
    Good luck,

  • Flash player/swf flv files behind members area not showing up

    Hi-
    I am having problems with my swf and flv files. I have tried both going through adobe and JW players. My specific problem is this: I am posting to a non-mobile me server and these flash files are going behind a ccbill members area that you can only get to by signing in as a member through a paying website using ccbill. I saw Bob's post on the 11th and tried deleting the extra / I saw in my html files as well.. but that did not work. The pages come up without the flv or swv files. Have tried both. Shows up fine in iweb but when published it's not there. No error messages. Not even a blank box. It's just not there.
    Any advice? Been to Old Toad, Roddy McKay, iwebunlimited (Jason) and iwebfaq (Cédric), apple forums iweb sites. Cannot find anything specific to members area so any advice would be very helpful!

    Just so you know the Terms of Use for MobileMe accounts states the following:
    "*Limitations on Use*
    You agree to use the Service only for purposes as permitted by these TOS and any applicable law, regulation, or generally accepted practice in the applicable jurisdiction. The Service is designed for personal individual use and is not intended to be used for commercial business purposes, including, but not limited to, transacting online sales or software distribution via an e-commerce site. "
    The above is there to protect Apple in case of the server goes down or otherwise interrupts access to the sites and you lose income because of it.
    MobileMe is not the best server to use for a commercial site. It's very slow and erratic in its performance. A commercial server, full service login type of password protection, i.e. each user has their own password and user name instead of one for everyone, etc., would be much more efficient and faster loading. Just some food for thought.

  • Avi files showing as black

    Hello, recently some avi files started showing as black in AE. The same is the case when rendering a project containing these files.
    Even if I look at my old projects and such, some of the avi videos display as black there also, so what worked before doesn't now.
    The specific avi format, that doesn't show properly, should be OpenDML Avi 2.0. All other video formats work as they always did.
    I'm guessing that some file or codec got deleted, but outside of AE the files play without any problem.
    Is there some way to resolve this? I've already tried reinstaling AE, resetting the preferences..
    I'm using Windows 7 and CS6.. not sure what else is relevant.
    I'll be grateful for any help.

    Oh, alright, sorry. The codec is Motion JPEG.
    I don't recall changing anything before this happened. I did probably install some games. Not sure if that would cause something this specific.
    I've just tried uninstalling all third party codecs and nothing's changed. I've tried reinstalling them after that and nothing's changed again.
    I don't know how to reinstall the Motion JPEG codec as mentioned by Rick Gerard, so I didn't do that part.

  • Is There a Flash player to view .swf/.flv files?

    The Flash Player download at Macromedia is for viewing Flash
    in a web browser.
    I need to install an app on some co-workers machines so that
    they can view the .swf and associated .flv files that I make.
    Does Macromedia make such an app or should I download a
    third-party .flv player for them to use?
    Thanks

    With respect you're not quite right on that topic.
    Flash player is to view swf files on your computer where
    macromedia shockwave player is used to view websites with flash
    content. Try downloading flash player version 10 and restart your
    computer.

  • Why Does Mavericks 'Display' Show Two Black Bars During Video Playback?

    Hey guys. So I'm at college and I've been watching a bunch of movies on my Macbook.
    I own a 24-inch monitor where I play the movies through, as I connect it to my Macbook Pro 2012.
    When I was on Mountain Lion and I'd play a movie, the video playback would take up the entire 24-inch display screen perfectly.
    But now that I've updated to Mavericks, every movie including YouTube videos are stretched and small with two HUGE black bars on the top and on the bottom. I've tried changing the 'Display' options but it still remains the same and it's bugging me out so much that I may need to go back to Mountain Lion just because of this.
    Does anyone have any advice and may have suffered from the same issue? It worked perfectly on Mountain Lion but now it makes the videos look stretchy.

    Most YouTube content requires Flash ..  You're using Safari to view YouTube?
    If so ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try a video.

  • Samsung monitor shows black bars on sides

    I'm running OS 10.8.2 on a mid-2012 MacBook Pro, and I recently bought a Samsung Syncmaster SA300 (22 inch) monitor which I've connected using a VGA cable (DVI wasn't working, don't know why). I immediately noticed black bars on the sides of the screen, and the picture seems squished, despite the fact that I've chosen the proper resolution for the monitor. Funny thing is, when I boot into Windows 7, the bars disappear and the resolution looks perfect.

    Hello MpegEVIL,
    I would recommend taking a look at this article named Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573

  • Chrome shows a black bar at the top of the screen?

    Hi, I have been using Chrome on my PC for ages and never had an issue with it, but I've noticed on my iMac that it has this black bar at the top of the screen (see screenshot). It makes it impossible to see the top and bottom of websites because the bar blocks them out.
    Anyone else having this problem/know how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Completely uninstall ALL Google software per the instructions on Google's website. Currently, all Google apps, especially Chrome and Drive  are not playing well and are NOT 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks. Until Google releases a fix or update for OS X Mavericks, completely uninstall all Google apps.
    I been seeing more recent posts about users having issues with  both Mavericks and Google Chrome.
    If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, as an alternative, try using Mozilla FireFox. Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and just released a new update recently and FireFox is much more stable on OS X Mavericks.

  • Removing black bars down sides of clip?

    Hello
    I am editing a movie clip in Premier Elements 11. It's a 25fps file. I did not film the clip, but was told that it was a normal (not widescreen) PAL clip. The clip looks like this when I am editing it (screenshot).
    What concerns me are those two thick black bars down both sides of the clip. What causes them, please? Is it that the clip was really widescreen and I am editing it in normal mode and how best to remove them as I imagine they will be visible when the final product is show on a DVD or TV.
    Many thanks.

  • Transcode produces black bars on side in Encore but not AME

    I am Transcoding 1920x1080 footage to NTSC widescreen DVD's. If I transcode the footage in Apple Compressor, or Adobe Media Encoder(with 12px top/bottom crop) it comes out correct. If I transcode in Encore, I cannot get rid of the thin black bars on the side. I am setting the crop in the Encore settings but this just creates a border all around and does not solve the problem.When I preview the output, it looks correct in the "Edit Quality Presets" window but has the borders in the timeline. I make a lot of quick one-off DVD's and I'm trying to find ways to just use one piece of software and not create a lot of extra steps. I understand why the crop is needed, I just need to know how to get Encore to give the same result as AME does.
    Thanks.

    Hey Ann.  I couldn't make it work with just setting it to 16:9.  It's the same thing as when rendering out a scaled HD square pixel file in a 720x480 (1.21) comp in After Effects.  The top and bottom needs a bit of cropping to work in a SD 16:9 world.

  • Black bars on sides after exporting

    I recently downloaded the trial version of Premiere Pro CC which I have never before. When exporting, my project has black bars on both sides and I'm not sure how to fix it. I know little about editing so I'm not sure how to fix this problem. I've tried multiple export setting and in each preview I see the black bars as well. Any help would be greaty appreciated. Thanks!                                      

    Your photo of the Sequence Settings tells only part of the story. The other parts:
    your media: with a clip selected in the Project panel, go to the Info panel and report the frame dimensions.
    your export settings: go File>Export>Media and post a screengrab of the Export Settings dialog with the Video tab visible. [btw, a screengrab will be easier for us to read than a photo of your screen...]
    Since your source is NTSC DV (720x480 pixels at 0.9091 pixel aspect ratio), you should ideally pick an output preset that matches. For example, h.264/NTSC DV. [If you tell us how you plan to distribute the video, we can give more directed advice on which format to use.]

  • Black bars on sides of video

    How can I correct this without starting over? Here is what I am talking about:

    You can copy all footage into a correctly formatted sequence. Select all the files and right click to "Remove Attributes" and verify Distort is checked. Ta-Da!!!
    Note: if you've changed other attributes make sure you only change distort.

  • Black Bars on Sides & Poor Upload to YouTube

            I have already tried converting my Mp4's from my camera to AVI and this will resolve the black bars but the end result is still poor video once uploaded...  I get the little red x in the lower left hand corner about poor display quality (see picture at bottom) If I work with the original Mp4s and leave the Black Bars on the side the videos looks fine... please help.  The AVIs are taking too much space once I convert them from Mp4 so I would like to leave that option out of this topic, unless someone can tell me how set Super or Prisim up to keep the file size the same when converting or how to convert an Mp4 to AVI in a smaller format that is usable by Premiere.

    1. Open Premiere Elements 8.0.1 and set the project preset (new project dialog) = PAL AVCHD Full HD1080i25.
    2. In the program, Edit Menu/Preferences/General, have a check mark next to "Default Scale to Frame Size".
    3. Right click the Edit Mode Monitor, select Magnification, and have the set on "Fit".
    4.  Using Premiere Elements' Get Media/Files & Folders, import your  AVCHD 1920x 1080 16:9 video into the program. (You will see your video  in the Organizer.)
    5. Drag your video from the Organizer to the Timeline. Are you seeing a 4:3 version of it in the Edit Mode Monitor?
    6. If so, click on the Project Tab in the row below the active Organize (Blue) Tab to bring up the Project Media View.
    7. In the Project Media View, right click your video in the list to bring up the Interpret Footage dialog.
    8.  In the Interpret Footage dialog, under Pixel Aspect Raio, dot the  "Conform to:" and change the setting = Square Pixels (1.0). After you  click OK to that, see what your video now looks like in the Edit Mode  Monitor.

    1. You can also use the Interpret Footage dialog for Frame Rate considerations.
    2.  Although the gspot read out does not give a reading for PAR (Pixel  Aspect Ratio), the PAR can be calculated from the SAR and DAR values  given since PAR = DAR/SAR and, in your case, 1.778/1.778 = 1.0. The DAR  is Display Aspect Ratio and the SAR is Storage Aspect Ratio.
    3.  What is the duration (seconds, minutes, hours) of the video that you  have been trying to use in Premiere Elements 8.0.1. You are working with  AVCHD which is a very resourve demanding format, and it appears that  you have 2 GB RAM installs that probably translates in much less  available and you do not say how much free hard drive space your  computer has. But, if the video in question is only of a few seconds  duration, we should be able to work through this pixel aspect ratio  issue.
