Transform a .swf file to an .mp4 file

Hello,
How could i transform a .swf file to an .mp4 file
Could this happen with Captivate 5 or i need Captivate 6 ??
Thank you very much
Petros

Hello Vikram,
If an swf is published as an MP4 what are the implications for:
Audio
Animation
Effects
Transitions
Text captions
Highlight boxes
I'm capturing a software demo and publishing it as an MP4. Would the MP4 output retain all the qualities of the swf?
As I understand, an MP4 would run only as a video and there cannot be any interactivities.
Thank you.

  • How to download & convert .f4f video streaming files into flv/mp4 files

    Below is the website for which I am asking this query
    http://www.startv.in/show/devon-ke-dev-mahadev/352
    These are .f4f videos which I can view online.
    I am not able to download & play them in their original format.
    I also would like to download & play them either as flv / mp4 files.
    Kindly provide a solution.
    Thank you.

    According to Adobe, F4F file is Flash MP4 Video Fragment created and used by Adobe Media Server for HTTP Dynamic streaming. As F4F files are separating video clips and F4F is not a so common video format, it is incompatible with most video media players, portable devices or editing software.
    To improve the compatibility, it is a quite good choice to convert f4f to a more popular video format like convert F4F to MP4, convert F4F to AVI, convert F4F to FLV, convert F4F to MP3 and etc. The following article will show you a professional F4F Converter and a step by step guide on how to convert F4F video files on Mac or Windows.

  • Exporting to .mp4 file using QuickTime Pro

    Rather than use the Movie to iPod preset in QuickTime pro, I would like to export an .avi file to a .mp4 file using Movie to MPEG-4. I would like the resulting file to be encoded using h.264 video and to be 640 X 480. I want one file that I can include as an enclosure in the rss feed for my podcast that can be downloaded and played in both iTunes and on an iPod. So far, I have been able to create a .mp4 file that plays in iTunes/QuickTime but not on an iPod.
    Would someone with experience in this please tell me which settings to use in the MPEG-4 export settings dialogue so that I get a file that can be played on the iPod.
    The options are:
    File Format (I chose mp4)
    dropdown (I chose video)
    Video Format (I chose H.264)
    Data Rate (I know it's important that this not be too high but don't know what to put.)
    Optimize For (download is the only choice for this option)
    Image Size (I chose 640X480 VGA)
    Preserve Aspect Ratio checkbox (My original video is 720X480. I don't think I should check this. I want to change the pixel aspect ratio to square pixels.)
    using dropdown box (Letterbox, crop, fit within size) (only active when Preserve Aspect ratio is checked)
    Framerate (I chose 29.97, which is the frame rate on the original .avi file)
    Keyframe ( I set this to every 15 frames)

    Thanks. I was aware of that information. But still am stuck on using QuickTime Pro to come up with a usable .mp4 file for the iPod. I think I am using the right settings, but it's still not working. That's why I included a lot of detail about the specific options in my question. Hopefully, there's someone out there who has used QuickTime Pro for this.

  • I could really use your help converting to mP4 files

    Hi Everyone,
    I really need your help in converting from the ".prel" file to an mP4 file in Adobe Premier Elements 9. I am new to this program, so I learned how to edit the videos but don't know how to do this part.
    How do I do this? When I open my project file, the "File>Export" button isn't highlighted for me to select it.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Jennifer

    prel is the project file, not a video file

  • Using f4vpp.exe with MP4 file results no audio

    Hello,
    I'm recording MP4 webcam videos using Flash 11.1.102.63 and publishing them on my FMS 3.5.6.  When playing back MP4 files using my Flash player, both video and audio works perfectly.
    However, I also need to make my MP4 files play on other players (like Windows Media Player).  As I found out quickly, the MP4 file encoded by FMS is not playable without conversion.  After some googling, I found that the post processor tool f4vpp.exe allows to flatten the MP4 file so that it plays with Media Player.
    The problem is that F4VPP seems to remove the audio part in the file.  My MP4 file consists of H264 video and NellyMooser audio (which is the default audio recording codec with Flash).  I also tried using Speex codec for audio but still no sound after using F4VPP.
    I've seen some comments around about this bug.  Unfortunately, the download page (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash-media-server-family/tool-downloads.html) refers to the tool as dated of June 2009.  Is there an updated version with a fix?
    Otherwise, I'm trying to reproduce the work done by the tool using ffmpeg.exe.  So far, the closes I have been able to do is this:
    ffmpeg.exe -i input.mp4 -c:v copy -ar 44100 -async 1 -sameq output.mp3
    The problem is that the video encoding seems loosing something, as the output video has blocky/pixelated parts in the video that seems random.  Probably related to something in the conversion, but I can't figure out what.
    Can anyone point me to a solution?
    Thanks.

    I have the same issue!! Adobe,help!

  • Premiere has suddenly stopped importing avi/mp4 files

    I am using Premiere Pro CS3 on a mac.
    With no explanation, Premiere has decided it can't recognize files that it recognized fine a few weeks ago. I have projects that I've already finished and when I reopen them it says the media is offline. When I attempt to import .avi files I get either a "codec missing" message or an "unsupported compression in file" while an .mp4 gets me "unsupported format or damaged file"
    while I have "fixed" the mp4 issue by changing the file extension to .mpg, I still cannot import any .avi files, which didn't use to be a problem. Also I didn't have to change the file extension on .mp4 files before, either.
    I am extremely frustrated and have no idea why nothing works except using another program to turn the .avi files into DV format, which for some insane reason makes a 20 minute video 3.95 GB, which makes me think somehow I'm doing that wrong too.

    >That seems ridiculous
    No, that would be trying to edit a delivery format
    You are an artist - You paint on a canvas
    It is a FLAT canvas where you may see and paint everything
    That is similar to Premiere with a DV AVI type 2 file... it may see and paint (edit) everything
    1-Now, read here to see
    Why NOT to try and edit an MPEG
    Your canvas is now "fan folded" like the expanding part of an accordian You may now only see the edges of the folds - You may NOT see inside the folds You are now trying to paint a full picture based only on being able to see those edges
    That is similar to Premiere with any variety of SD (StandardDef) file compressed into an MPEG (HD "HiDef" is different, with it's own set of issues and problems)
    Do not be fooled by movie industry advertising into thinking that "DVD Quality Video" is suitable for EDITING... it is not... a DVD is for PLAYBACK only!

  • Photoshop CS5 doesn't import mp4 files?

    Hi everyone,
    I have tried literally everything but I'm really lost right now. Photoshop won't import mp4 or any other file, it only accepts avi container files.
    It's a pain to convert every single file to avi if I want to use Import > Video frames to layers.
    I have already installed Quicktime Pro but that doesn't seem to work.
    Can somebody please help me?

    Though Adobe Photoshop CS6/CS5/CS4 was announced to be compatibility with MP4, people still have problems in importing MP4 to Photoshop CS6/CS5/CS4. MP4 file format is a container format which defines the storage of MPEG-4 audio, scenes and multimedia content using the ISO Base Media File Format, the MP4 file may also contain any number of audio, video, and even subtitle streams. So it is impossible for the MP4 file to determine the type of streams in an MPEG-4 file based on its filename extension alone. If you have problem of importing MP4 to Photoshop CS5/CS4/CS3 on Windows or on Mac, it is better to convert MP4 to Photoshop CS6/CS5/CS4 supported video format MPEG-4.

  • HDR-CX405 How to stop dual recording, only mp4 file needed.

    Hello Sony, Yesterday i purchased HDR-CX405. My question is, how to stop dual recording? Only mp4 file needed. Both file created on memory card while shooing video scene - AVCHD and mp4. I don't want AVCHD (too big file), just want mp4 file only.

    Hi mkpi49,
    Welcome to the Sony Community!
    I would just like to confirm the answer VideoGeek posted. The camera can only record in Mp4 when it's set to Dual Rec. Both an AVCHD and Mp4 file will be created and written on your card. We would also suggest recording in AVCHD and later converting the file to Mp4 using the PlayMemories Home software. 
    For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.

  • How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4?

    How can I convert a MOV file to 4K MP4 file? I can't find any default setting for MP4 nor I do known how to set one.

    Start with the Plus sign in the Setting pane> New Setting. Choose MPEG4 from dropdown. Give it a name and save and it will be saved in your custom presets. Make adjustments to resolution, bit rate, etc in Inspector.

  • Why does Captivate 6 create mp4 files that the swf does not playback clearly?

    Captivate 5 created a .swf which suited my training purposes very nicely.  There were swf files in the library, embedded in the (rather large) .swf that I asked the students to run.  Now it seems that Captivate 6.0.1.240 won't do that.  Captivate 6 creates external mp4 files for the video portion (audio is separately recorded mp3 that is imported to the finished demo video slide) and they look terrible when the .swf runs them.  Those mp4 look fine on their own but the .swf must resize them to properly fit with the TOC on the screen.
    The HTML created when I make the .swf looks fine but it does not all fit on the screen as does the .swf so I don't like it and don't want to use it.  Thanks, in advance, for any replies and suggestions.

    Hi llstewart,
    I assume you are launching your program from C drive. Are any
    components of Captivate stored on the remote drive? (I am thing
    your user profile, are you the only person who accesses Captivate
    from that machine?)
    Does this happen all the time?
    What I have noticed in my own network is that there are
    periodic "dropped" connections on the network. I have never figured
    out what it causing this, but Captivate does not like it. (Every
    once in awhile if Word or Excel are writing to a file on a share,
    they will become thoroughly corrupted too.)
    The problem with Captivate is that it needs a lot of a
    computer's resources and takes what it can get. It also seems to
    write to a temp file a lot (while a capture is taking place) an
    only "binds" it up when the user stops and ends the session. The
    only thing I can think of is that during this process there is a
    inturruption in your network.
    Sorry I couldn't fully answer your question.
    I would try (if you can) loading the software on a machine
    that is not on the network and try to do a series of long captures
    and see if the problem persists.
    I work in a large network and I do not have the problem, but
    I have also installed the software myself and made sure of the
    installation. I also make sure the program I am recording is local
    (whenever possible). Additionally, do you have problems with any
    other programs and corrupted files?
    Again, sorry I don't have a quick answer.

  • How do you convert a swf or mp4 file into flv using creative cloud programs?

    I am trying to embed a video as HTML5 with Flash fallback into my Dreamwaver site and only have the swf file of the video. 
    Please let me know if you have any ideas about how to convert a swf or mp4 file into flv, without loosing pixels and quality of the swf file.
    Thank you!

    If you have MP4 video, you can use Pickle Player which has built-in Flash fallback for Mozilla.  No conversions required .

  • Transform  a ".swf" file to ".bmp" file

    How could I transform a ".swf" file (FLASH file) into ".bmp" file using JAVA 2D API or if ,there is any other method?

    I think you cannot do it with the standard API, but maybe there is a third party product that makes it.

  • Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

    Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
    A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
    Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

    AimeeLove,
    I have a solution for you.  You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock.  I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
    Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
    12 = 0
    1 = 250
    2 = 500
    3 = 750
    4 = 1000
    5 = 1250
    6 = 1500
    7 = 1750
    8 = 2000
    9 = 2250
    10 = 2500
    11 = 2750
    In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
    myVar = setInterval(function(){
         var pos = sym.getPosition();
         if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
              sym.stop(0);
              clearInterval(myVar);
    },10);
    When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline.  When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0.  Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
    In the mouseout section, put this...
    sym.play();
    clearInterval(myVar);
    It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
    Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
    Repeat this for each point on the clock.  To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar.  I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range.  50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it.  So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
    Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

  • How can I format a movie file so it plays on FF3.6? my mp4 files are blocked due to a quicktime issue.

    Creating a landing page for a client with embedded video. She prefers not to embed a YouTube video on her site. Is there a way I can embed an mp4 file in her site so that it will play in firefox 3.6? Now it is trying to launch quicktime, which firefox blocks due to extension instability. Thx.

    If you have the latest QuickTime version then it should work.
    You can also look at players like JW Player: http://www.longtailvideo.com/
    http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/13/embedding-flash
    http://player.longtailvideo.com/player.swf
    You can also consider to recode the file to ogg to allow Firefox to play the file natively.

  • IMovie Won't Import MP4 Files

    For some reason iMovie '11 won't let me import videos.  Specifically, I'm trying to add MP4 files that I copied to my hard drive from my GoPro HD 960.  For GoPro users, I used the R2 (720p) format.  They open properly in QuickTime and VLC but can't be imported into iMovie (or iPhoto).  When I select File-->Import-->Movies and browse to the directory where I saved all the .mp4 files on my hard drive, they're all greyed out.  And actually, it seems that just about no video files at all on my computer can be added (all greyed out)--even other MP4 files.
    I downloaded MPEG Streamclip but that says "unrecognized file format" when I try opening the videos.  I also installed Perian and rebooted.
    In case it helps:
    - I have an Intel MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 with iLife '11
    - QuickTime info for the video format says "H.264, 1280 x 720, Millions; AAC, 2 channels, 48000 Hz"
    - VLC says "Stream 0 (Video) - Codec: avc1" and "Stream 1 (Audio) - Codec: mp4a"
    Any ideas?  This is incredibly frustrating!

    Why iMovie Won't Import MP4 Files?
    Technically, iMovie does import MP4 video. However, iMovie only import MP4 files that are encoded with MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC data. And yet, MP4 is a video container format that may contain various audio and video codec (and sometimes even subtitle streams included). If the MP4 file is not encoded with iMovie support codec, iMovie will refuse to import this kind of MP4 video.
    How to Solve Can't Import MP4 into iMovie?
    In order to successfully import all kinds of MP4 files to iMovie, a recommended solution is to convert iMovie unrecognized MP4 to iMovie supported video format.
    iDealshare VideoGo is just the right MP4 to iMovie Converter which can convert various MP4 to iMovie supported MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MOV or DV. Besides converting MP4 to iMovie, iDealshare VideoGo also helps to convert other video formats including AVI, WMV, MPEG, VOB, MOV, AVCHD, MTS, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, XAVC, FLV, MKV, SWF, 3GP, MVI, ASF and etc to iMovie video format.
