Trouble displaying small MP4 file

I am ready to pull my hair out. There should be a small MP4 file on the upper right hand side of the home page. I have triple checked the file name in the code and have triple checked that the file has been uploaded onto the server. But I can't get anything to display in firefox. If I right click and tell firefox to open the video using windows media player, it does come up in the media player system. What gives?

If it's basically a slide-show, but in video format, I would...
1. Run the video on my computer screen in the largest possible size and take screen captures of each of the main "frames".
2. Take those screen captures into Photoshop to crop and resize to the appropriate pixel width/height (using a uniform h/w is best)
3. Use Save for Web & Devices in PS (Ctrl + Shift + Alt + S)
4. Use the 4 up feature of the Save for web... dialogue to find the "lowest good" setting.
5. Click the lowest setting's frame to highlight it and choose Save (save to your site's local root folder)
6. Bring the images to your site definition in DW and use something like jQuery Cycle2, Nivo Slider or WOW Slider to turn them into a slide show

Alternate display and mp4 files

Hi,
I regularly use my MacBook (OS X Leopard) in a large lecture hall with a ceiling-mounted projector. The presentations have often been prepared on my iMac G5 with Tiger, but that's no problem. I use "alternate display to view presenter information." Last week, I inserted some mp4 files into some empty slides in my sequence...it worked brilliantly at home (the files started up automatically, played, and then finished, at which point I just hit my right arrow key, which took me to my next text slide). When I went to class and hooked up the MacBook to the projector, everything was fine until I hit the key to advance to a slide with an embedded mp4. The Keynote window was immediately gone and I was left with a view of my desktop...nothing happened. Interestingly enough, Keynote had not quit. Its icon had a miniature green "play" button on it (as you would expect on a CD player, etc.). The only way for me to salvage the presentation -- as class was about to start -- was to run the presentation with display mirroring. I lost the opportunity to have my presenter notes, but advancing to and past the slides with mp4 video clips was no problem at all.
Does anyone know what happened here and how I might go about troubleshooting? Did I do something that the projector could not handle? Are there resolution settings for both displays that I should pay attention to here? As previously mentioned, I've never had a problem with alternate display and presenter notes in this hall or with any other projector on campus; that's why I assume that the mp4s were part of the problem.
Much obliged for any help whatsoever,
Hank

Check Keynote Preferences > General and be sure the box "Copy audio and movies into document" is checked. Other than that, I have no suggestions.
Good luck.

Trouble bringing in MP4 files?

I'm on a mac and I am having a hard time importing different file formats (AVI,MOV). Specifically, I'm learning the program and want to practice with my flip video that takes mp4.s. What is the best way to be able to use the mp4 files in PPCS4?

Here's a current THREAD on the PE forum, regarding Flip footage. This is an older article in their FAQ.
Though you are talking about PrPro and not PE, down at the "gut" level, the two programs are not that far apart. Usually, what will work in PE will also work in PrPro - well, sometimes...
Good luck,
Hunt

Best quality export - need to make a small mp4 file for website

Hi there - I need to make a short video clip for a website - the final version that I send needs to be 340x192 and 1mb per 10 sec. The clip is 200 seconds so it should therefore not be over 20 mb. The original footage was shot on an EX1 camera.
I exported the video as a full quality Quicktime mov file. I then used mpeg streamclip with the following settings:
Export to MPEG-4
Compression: H.264
Quality - 100%
Limit Data Rate: 1400 Kbps
Frame size: 340x192
Frame Blending: checked
Better Downscaling: checked
Deinterlace video: checked
The image looks terrible ... wondering if there is a better way to do this?
Any suggestions much appreciated!

> The image looks terrible ... wondering if there is a better way to do this?<
The reduction ratio you are attempting is almost 400:1, +-10% or so. Just so we're clear, the HD image is more than 2,000,000 distinct pixels in every frame, your frame size is about 68,000 pixels. That's 1/30 of the original size so, even before you add the quantization of the H.264 compression, you are throwing away 29 out of every 30 pixels that appeared in the original image.
I should imagine the quality is going to look horrendous, not merely terrible, compared to the original.
H.264 adds compression artifacts by averaging temporal and spatial differences, further diminishing the literal quality. You tend to see H.264 as better than, say, MPEG2 because the artifacts inherent in the processing are hidden better.
So that's the arithmetic because I can't tell if you understood that, forgive if you already know that stuff. Let's move on.
What do you think is "terrible" about the resulting movie?
What do you hope to improve?
You have very few choices. You cannot improve the resolution because of the outrageous scaling you are performing. You cannot get much better than H.264 to disguise this type of operation. You cannot increase the bitrate because of your server limitations.

I am having trouble displaying my PDF file after running script.

I am getting a blank screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You'll need to provide more information. Starting with what "script" you're talking about, and what application you're using to open the file.

Trouble displaying Windows Explorer file select dialog in RH8

This problem is occurring across RH8: when I select Import Word doc at startup; when I select Baggage File -> New; when I select Insert Image-> Browse . RoboHelp locks up and when I select to End Task in the Windows Task Manager I get a message saying "the system can not end this program because it is waiting for a response from you". I've tried cascading windows to see if the dialog box is hidden but it's just not there.

Is your RH project located on a network drive (very bad) or a local drive (good). Also is this just on one project? What happens when you try to do the same on one of the supplied demo projects?
Read the RoboColum(n).

Trouble sending small MP3 files using firefox version of my AOL e-mail..times out and refuses to send. Works in Safari. Why?

If I try to send Mp3 files over e-mail using Firefox..it times out and says 'Encountered an error. I have these MP3's compressed to under 1 MB..like 756kb..so size is not an issue. No problem when I open my e-mail in Safari

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Will imovie 11 (version 9.0.8) be able to import the MP4 files from the Canon Vixia HF R 400?

I realize the camcorder is just available now but I assume the MP4 files are the same as in the R300 from last year. I just want to be sure that imovie 11 will be able to import andedit the MP4 files from the canon Vixia before I purchase the camera.I understand that imovie has trouble with some MP4 files and works fine with other ones. I don't want to transcode into another format and generate gigantic files of data. I also understand that the videos with AVCHD has better video but I prefer a easier workflow. I imagine one day Apple in it's infinate wisdom will eventually support AVCHD.

two options:
• not exhausting - go to
http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html
these devices are tested by Apple 'bout functioning with iM
choose one = works. guaranteed.
• exhausting - learn about codecs, containers, bitrates .....
in short: AVCHD is a standard, details e.g. here at wiki
standard means: some settings are conform, some not. example: no 120fps in AVCHD.
note: there's vers1 and there's a new vers.2 .......
mp4 - just a container, or 'wrapper'.
means: like a box of chocolate, you could never know what's inside. example: 120fps in mp4.
but ........
AVCHD nor mp4 are 'codecs'.
here comes h.264 - could be in a AVCHD/mts, could be in a mp4.
iMovie: respects standards.
does NOT import non-standards-conform files/videos/datas.
encode a 1080video as 30p/h264 = would 'fit' into AVCHD
encode a 1080video as 60p/h264 = would 'fit' into AVCHD2 (=not supported by iM11), would 'fit' into mp4 (= iM11 supported) ...
mp4 is more ... 'open minded', more general; lacks therefor stuff like gps location data and other meta-tags.
the next iM13 should support AVCHD2, it's bigger brother FCPX does .....
last word:
iMovie is NO general 'cuts all movin' pictures'-app!
it is meant for consumer convenience with consumer devices.
=> supports the most 'popular' standards. not anything.

Can't render .mp4 file

I'm trying to convert a small .mp4 file into a .mov file so that I can edit it in FCP. I've never had a problem converting a file using MPEG streamclip but everytime I attempt to convert this file it gives an error of "can't prepare the file" and renders an all white video. I've also tried exporting it from Quicktime as a .mov. I've tried importing it into iMovie and then exporting it but it every case not matter the method, it yields a white video! I've never seen this or had a problem with other files. Is it possible that it is encrypted or something so that it cannot be converted?? When I view the properties in Quicktime, it's just a standard .mp4 file in H.264 format with audio AAC at 24 fps. It's an 18 second clip. I've also tried extracting the video and audio separately in Quicktime and then saving as a different file but it still won't work!
Any ideas???
Michael

Awesome idea! Just tried it and Compressor was able to convert it just fine.
Thanks a lot!
Michael

PSE has trouble displaying .jpg or .psd files

I just upgraded from PSE ver 5 to PSE ver 8. For some reason, ver 8 has some trouble displaying some .jpg and .psd files in the editor. .nef files (raw) are no problem. Some of the .jpg/.pse files display as a 'broken file" image, or are blurry if I double click them in editor.. If I right click on the image and go to edit, I am able to edit it and save it, but the resulting saved file may or may not be displayed. Attempts to add unmanaged files to the catalog have not helped. Any suggestions?

No, filter uses the jpgs AFAIK. They are in Photoshop too. They are seamless so you could use them as is and define them as patterns; then again you can also use the PSD files to make patterns. The grass jpg is a good one to turn into a pattern.
If you want to use them with the filters that require PSD files just save a copy of each in PSD file format. You might also think about making them black and white so you can tinker with how they will apply the texture. (White is high; black is low; 50% gray is neutral. Colors act as shades of gray so black and white might help you better predict what the result will be.)

Server having trouble playing back certain .mv4 or .mp4 files

Hello folks,
I'm really stumped about why certain .mv4 or .mp4 files do not playback well off of the server for my website www.listenup.org -- a large archive of youth media video.
At first, I had a few files that weren't working because there were non-alphanumeric characters in the names. But even after renaming them on the server and in the database, they still sit on the site longer before opening.
I can't send live to the site the videos that really aren't working at all (which I have mostly solved anyway -- users tacking on the wrong extensions or having non-alphanumerics in name), but here are the real mysteries -- the ones that load for a considerable time longer than the others before displaying the download progress bar quicktime playback tool.
All of these videos do work. And by leaving one or another sitting there for about 30sec - 1 min it should appear (and they are pretty good anyhow). At the end of the downloading process, you can right click and use "Save as Source" (these are all on Creative Commons licenses of various sorts).
Here are a few problem videos:
http://www.listenup.org/screeningroom/view.php?media=ae9e78f2d591206ab070b699478 8b8c5
http://www.listenup.org/screeningroom/view.php?media=cbd34b179c2f3e2a758a3d840ef e7d2c
And here are several collections where everything seems to be fine, even with videos with rather hefty datarates, videos that are iPod video 640x426 or 320x240, you name it:
http://www.listenup.org/screeningroom/cat.php?view=7c599d3bc98f45d2803c3fd5ec737 01b
http://www.listenup.org/screeningroom/cat.php?view=d9c8ba16e3295518c7f7cc6a4b75c ca9
If there is some processing action that I could do to these to make sure that they load immediately when a visitor clicks on them I will be happy. (Even if the progress is very slow! that's a member's prerogative whether they want to compress video with a larger web visitor community in mind!) I'd rather not rerun these through iTunes or similar to "Convert to iPod" because a) I don't know what I'm doing that is making the files better, and b) it almost always seems to make the files bigger with no perceptible gain in quality. If that is what I should do, though, I can certainly do that and replace these on the server.
Thanks so much for your QT guru-ness. It is times like these that I wish I knew more about quicktime from a developers point of view!
Thanks,
Matt

This is very helpful! How do I create .m4v or .mp4 vidoes that "Fast start"? Just changing the extension doesn't work -- and exporting takes time. I'd love another fast solution like this for opening and "Save As" -- that results in the MPEG-4 extensions that my users are expecting. (Yes, QT is a container format, and yes this .mov has the same media H.264 media streams, but we'd like folks to be able to drag these into itunes or similar and get them quickly on iPods.)
Thanks!

How to play MP4 files in Video Display compoenent?

I am able to play! But the same file I am able to play with VLC player. Let me know what are the restrictions for playing video files...
I had tried as follows :

Trouble getting MP4 files into 30G IPOD

I have ripped a DVD into MP4 format but was unable to add it to ITUNES for transfer into my video IPOD. I am using a demo copy of CUCUSOFT converter software to experiment with. I have thought about buying QuickTime 7.0 but have heard nothing about it regarding ease of use etc.
30G IPOD and IPOD Nano Windows XP

Johnathan,
I have attempted to drag the file into ITUNES Video section as well as create a playlist and drop it in. Neither has worked and I don't receive any errors, the file just doesn't appear. The file resides on my hard drive as an MP4 file but I can't do anything with it.

How to save MP4 files from Desktop to a folder

I have a number of MP4 files on my desktop which I have imported from my camera.
Please could someone explain - in VERY simple terms how to transfer these into a file or folder (sorry I don't know the correct terminology) so they are no longer on the desktop.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hi
A "file" is any kind of object such as a music file, document, video file, that lives on your computer. A folder contains one or more files. It's based on the paper file/folder analogy. So yes, you would store files in a folder. In fact, your desktop is just another folder, but its contents are displayed on the screen when you log in.
So you can create a folder on the desktop by clicking once anywhere on the desktop to focus on the Finder, then click the shift, command and N keys (hold down shift and command - it's just to the left of the space bar - and click N). This creates a new folder called "Untitled folder" and the name is editable, which means you can type a new name for it (eg "My music files"). Type a new name and hit the Return key.
Then drag the MP4 files into the new folder to move them. You can select more than one file at once by command-clicking on each one in turn to highlight them, then click on any one of them and drag into the folder.
Post back if you have any trouble.
best,
Matt
