Trouble encoding to FLV

This is a question about the Adobe Media Encoder but I couldn't find a forum just for that so I'm trying here.
When I drop a video file (.mov or .mp4) into the Media Encoder and click on the "Preset" link the status changes to "Skip" and Media Encoder freezes up and I can't choose anything.  It's not like its crashing or not responding, its like a error message window as popped up but there's nothing actually there.  Either way, I can't choose anything, even in the file drop down menus and basically have to "force quit".
Anyone know whats up??

I'm not able to stream FLV files using Strobe Media Playback...I can confirm that the RTMP link i'm using is correct, because I can get the video to play using the stock adobe skins from within Flash itself.  Here is a test link to an FLV that will not work using Strobe Media Playback:
rtmp://146.189.194.51/vod/sample.flv
All I get is the "buffering" graphic on the player, and it never connects to the server.  I've looked at the logs in the admin console and it doesn't even appear that it's attempting to connect to the FMS.

  • Can you encode an flv in Compressor with letterbox bars?

    I am trying to encode a 1280x720 Quicktime movie to a 320x240 flv. I have compressed it 8 times already varying settings each time to get it to not squish the content to fit the 320x240 frame to no avail. Each separate setting squish the video. I believe "Padding" the top and bottom of the frame is the way to go, but the controls are deactivated when encoding an flv. I have read through he pdfs and have found no help. I even relaunched the software thinking it might be glitching up.
    Any thoughts?

    What version of Compressor are you using? You could transcode to an intermediate format first, i.e. ProRes or Photo JPEG @ 75% quality, and letterbox it that way, before encoding to FLV.
    From http://codecs.onerivermedia.com/ - 4:2:2 Compressed Codec Formats
    PhotoJPEG at its highest 100% quality setting is actually a 4:4:4 codec. When reduced down to 75%, it switches to 4:2:2 to help with the compression scheme. So why is it included here? The AJA Kona SD and Blackmagic Design DeckLink use this codec at 75% quality for its default offline compressed mode and with good reason. Virtually no banding in the gradients and average mosquito edging on the RGB colors. The compression artifacts are really only noticeable in the NTSC color bars and a little in the color filter test. And look at the x10 generation test... almost a pixel-perfect copy of the first generation! It actually passes through generations better than Kona's own 10-bit Trillions codec. Amazing! And look at that file size! Only 2.7 MB per second! That's better bandwidth (and way better quality) than DV can ever dream of. This codec truly can pass for an online codec with no problem. Best part is this codec is free to any QuickTime user, can be used on any platform and runs great even on PowerBooks.
    To automate the process, you can select your job and choose New Job With Target Output from the Job menu, and add your FLV setting there.

  • Trouble Encoding out of Premiere CC and Encoder

    Hi, having trouble encoding from Adobe Premiere CC and Encoder. The files are .mts from a Canon C100 and when I play back in the timeline in Premiere my sequence looks great. But once I encode (either directly out of Premiere OR with Encoder) there is almost always a couple of spots in the mp4 that have a skip or dropped frame. (encoding H.264 High Bit Rate setting) - any ideas what might be causing this?

    Hi John,
    Using the latest version of Premiere CC on a Mac - OS 10.9.1.
    Using Magic Bullet Looks as a plug-in with Premiere but that is it.
    The files source is a Canon EOS C100 - .mts files.
    That seems to be all the info on that link mentioned, but I could be leaving out some crucial info?

  • Encoding a FLV file to MP4

    I am relatively new to Adobe and all of its products, and this is my first exposure to Media Encoder CS5.
    Quite simply I would like to encode a FLV file to MP4. When I drag the FLV file into AME, it tells me "The source compression type is not supported."
    Just curious how to resolve this or whether I am doing something incorrect. I use a Mac Laptop running OS X 5.
    Thanks

    Colin is right. There's a bit more information about what what kind of FLV files AME CS5 can import here. The main point is that AME CS5 and later can only import FLV files that conatin video encoded with the On2 VP6 codec.

  • Trouble encoding AVI file into proper FLV. *Please Help*

    I have a small AVI file with uncompressed video.
    CS3 converts it perfectly to an FLV accept for the fact that
    I can't output to 16:9
    CS4 can and does convert it and keeps the 16:9 aspect ratio.
    The problem is CS4 adds all kinds of metadata crap which I
    want completely removed.
    How can i go about doing this????
    onXMPData
    liveXML
    <?xpacket
    that junk. it's ruining my video.
    CS3 would have been absolutely perfect if not for the 4:3
    constraint.

    You can modify the preset to not export the XMP metadata.
    If you have the export settings panel open - there will be a
    little icon to the right of Filter, Format, Video, Audio and
    Others. Click on that icon and un-check Include Source XMP
    Metadata.

  • Audio stops halfway when encoding to .flv in AME

    Hi there,
    I have a .mov file that works perfectly when I play it in quicktime. But when I encode it to .flv (settings "same as source") and play it in Flash or Adobe AIR. The sound cuts out halfway. I tried changing bitraid settings and even changing the format to MP3 in the settings, but it doesn't help. The are no errors in the errorlog.
    I'm using Adobe Media Encoder CS4 on OSX 10.5.7 Intel Powermac 2x2.66Ghz
    Thank you!

    Glad to know someone else has experienced this bug. I had the audio cut out midway through a recording, and stay silent through a number of subsequent "takes". It came back the next day and I haven't had any trouble since. Still, I'd like to know how to avoid this problem, or if it's just a random bug.
    I first thought I might have inadvertently pressed some button muting the microphone, but there really doesn't seem to be any control over the sound in the video recording function.

  • Adobe Media Encoder: Finished .flv file doesn't show in finder

    I was working with Media Encoder, converting a 37-minute 8GB file into a .FLV, and while the program will go through all of the steps (no error messages, video shows in preview window, progress bar fills all the way) when the conversion is finished there is no file. I've checked all through my computer and the .flv file is not there, It doesn't even show that any new space is being taken up in the computer's memory.
    When I convert a 10 - 15 minute video, everything works fine, but I've tried this several times with the same result and I have no idea why?

    Is it anything to do with this?

  • Is it better to encode a FLV before uploading to Youtube?

    Does Youtube apply additional compression to a FLV even after
    it was
    obviously encoded in Flash as a FLV? If so, what is the best
    format to
    start with when uploading to Youtube, or what is the best way
    to prepare
    a FLV before uploading?
    Thanks!

    You can actually have both versions installed at the same time. Each version of LabVIEW will be installed in its own directory under the National Instruments directory. This way you can support projects that have not upgraded to the new version.
    LabVIEW 8.2 is not technically an "Upgrade" to an older version. It's just a new version.

  • Encoding for FLV results in 10x larger file CS5 vs CS4

    I've recently upgraded to CS5 and the Media Encoder creates incredibly HUGE files compared to the CS4 media encoder.
    For example, I can convert a 15MB mpg file to a 12 MB flv file in CS4 using the preset  "FLV same as source"
    I do not find a matching preset in CS5, but tried "FLV - match source atributes (medium quality)"  Encoding the same file in CS5 with this preset results in 170MB file.
    I've tried adjusting the settings, comparing the options in both versions, and I still can't get a reasonably sized file out of the CS5 media encoder.
    This seems really broken to me.  A 170 MB file is not useful in any way.  Do I have bad presets?
    Adobe Media Encoder version is 5.0.1.0  (32-bit)
    thanks for any suggestions.

    I am having the exact same issue with one exeption, I'm trying to convert a 10sec long mpg into a FLV.  LIke you in CS4 it took just seconds to convert and the final FLV was about 1mb, if that.  Now the same 10sec mpg in CS5, even after trimming as much as I can from settings, i'm still looking at 900mb, it starts at over 3000mb.  I'm doing the same thing in 5 that I was in 4, web 640x480, and disabling the audio(which helps by a few hundred mb).  The absolute best I can get is 70mb, and the conversion process still takes about 2.5 hrs to complete.  If you hear back on this please pass it along to me, if I don't notice.

  • No Audio when encoding an FLV

    I'm attempting to slice up an hour long .flv into 15-minute chunks using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 (I don't have Premiere). I've cued up the start and end points, but when I export the video, there isn't any sound. I'm using the default settings, Audio is checked, at 256kbps, and there is no indication that it shouldn't export, but it doesn't. Any help please? I'm at my wit's end here, I've googled the hell out of this problem, and noone seems to want to help, they just want to pimp their third-party plugins and software...

    Hi,
    If you're using CS5 or CS5.5, you're getting the same problem we are if you're using Quicktime Reference files.

  • Forms trouble (encoding, not nls_lang ?)

    Hi!
    I have a trouble with Forms 6i ("thin client") on the IAS (6iserver). I receive unknown encoding on the buttons with the standard dialog "Do you want to save the changes you have made?". So the message of the dialog is correct and all other dialogs and button captions (for example standard logon dialog) are also correct. But button captions in this standard dialog are very strange. If I change nls_lang all text changes correctly except these button captions. I have the same problem with the standard menu ("resize", "close") of the form. If I change the content of 1.0.2.2/6iserver/forms60/mesg there is also no effect. Here is the screen shot: http://slil.ru/23379597

  • CS4 Encode to FLV Problem

    When I export a timeline to flv, at the identical location in the timeline it encodes it with a flaw.  It encodes the clip then in the midle of it, it seems drop a few frames and then continues flawlessly.   Instead of dropped frames it may be that it backs up  a few frames and then encodes from there.   I have corrected the problem by replacing the clip with another clip, but after a few exports, the problem reappears.
    Here's what I believe i'm seeing  at 3;40;00 it either drops 3;40;01 - 3;40;08  or it backs up to 3;39;00 and then continues encoding from there.  The visual effect is that it appears to skip frames or rewind some and continue from there.  Again, if I replace the clip at that location, it encodes fine for a few times, then it happens again.  To correct I have to replace it with a new clip, export, and then replace the clip with the original.
    Has anyone experienced this?   Any cleaner simpler ways for me to correct the problem?

    Properties of the clip in the timeline...
    Type: MPEG Movie
    File Size: 1.1 GB
    Image Size: 1440 x 1080
    Pixel Depth: 32
    Frame Rate: 29.97

    I can point you to the output file on the internet if you think that would help in understanding the problem, but the description accurately describes the problem.

  • Trouble encoding audio when burning to dvd

    I have finished editing a nearly 2-hour long wedding video and all is going well, everything encodes fine until....it comes to my audio. I have now tried to burn this movie 7 times to dvd and EVERY time it freezes when it reaches the stage of encoding the audio. Any tips?
    Message was edited by: Bri

    Hello, trouble,
    Welcome to the discussions. Sorry you are having so much trouble burning your DVD. What exactly do you see when you think it is freezing? Does it just look as if nothing is happening? Do you actually get a message that says there is a problem with the burn?
    If you are using any version of iDVD prior to iDVD 8, I suspect that your audio is encoding fine and not really 'freezing'. It will LOOK as if everything has stopped, because the those versions did not include a 'time remaining' notice. You can see a small thumbnail of the menus encoding, and you can see the video of your movie as the video encodes, but when audio encoding is occurring, there is only a black square. Depending on your computer system, the process can take some time. I recommend that you just leave it alone, maybe overnight, and see if it is fine in the morning. On my older iMac, a nearly 2hr movie might take over 12 hours to finish encoding/burning.
    I do recommend that do a 'save as disk image' for every iDVD project.
    If you are not familiar with this process, it is the creation of a file that is an exact replica of your iDVD project. The encoding looks the same as it is occurring, but the end result is a disk image file, not a burned DVD disk. There are several reasons to do this: It can save you from wasting disks if there is something wrong that prevents a successful burn; you can view your disk image on your computer using the application DVD Player to view your project and see if it is ok; you can use the disk image for burning disks through Disk Utility (or Toast); and you can control the burn speed--should be 4x or less.
    And, you now have a self-contained image file that you can save and from which you can burn disks in the future. Because it is self-contained, you can safely delete your iMovie and iDVD projects, thus saving drive space. Even though you can burn another DVD using one that you already have burned, the disk image file is a better backup. DVD disks can crack, break, melt, etc. and if you lose your copy, you will not be able to burn another.

  • Encoding as FLV?

    I just noticed that I have the option to Export > Using QuickTime Conversion to make my video into a FLV. The encoding options seem very similar (actual options and interface) as that found in Flash.
    1. Is this encoding FLV in FCP part of FCP or is it using the Flash video encoder?
    2. Anyone have an opinion as to whether it is more efficient to encode directly in FCP or to export as self-contained QT and bring into Flash?
    Thanks!

    Easier that CS3 Flash Encoder? How is that possible, it's one of the simplest things out there. If you don't want to outlay any money and u already have Flash Encoder, I'd suggest using it. It's quicker than Cleaner and Squeeze, and it's an Adobe product, so you get a decent result.

  • Having Trouble "Encoding Assets" - error in the log each time...

    hello there - finished making my DVD, and am trying to build/format. But each time the Build is cancelled because of an error trying to encode a particular video assett. The Video assett is a Final Cut Pro Movie File, exported to be a quicktime movie. (for some reason, my compressor isn't working right now), so I exported it as a quicktime file - the file is fine in quicktime, and fine in the simulator - but DVD SP doesn't want to encode the asset - what can I do?

    Not a silly question - the file is NOT self contained...
    But check this out... I've used a friend's computer (mine bugged out in the end) and was able to export the file from Final Cut HD using compressor. I did it with two pass VBR, best quality 90-minute encode, so in the end I got an mpeg2 (m2v) file for video, and an AIFF file for audio. Back in DVD Studio Pro, I replaced the former assett with this new Assett, which I've used many times without difficulty - but now (and i"ve tried twice), when I build/format, I don't get an error message - instead the computer actually freezes/crashes.
    very strange - he has had zero problems like this with his computer, and this is the first time using his final cut / dvd studio pro programs..
    any ideas?
    thanks,
    Geoff
    this is a silly question gsobelle, but is yoru QT a
    reference *.mov or a self contained *.mov?
