Using Flash Video Encoder Programmatically

Is there a way to use the Flash encoder programmatically from
Action Script or command line? I am looking at developing a batch
process that compiles a list of files to be encoded into FLV for
later consumption.

As far as I know about FFMPEG, it does not encode using on2
vp6, which is the superior codec for flv. I too am looking for a
programmatic way of transcoding to flash using the on2 vp6 codec.
on2 has the Flix Engine SDK, which is quite expensive, but it
allows you to programmatically transcode using vp6.
If there is another product out there that can do this (at a
non-expensive cost) I would love to hear about it.

  • Accessing Flash Video Encoder Programmatically

    At the moment I am working on a batch program that will take
    video files, and /encode them into FLVs. I would like to do this in
    a programmatic (command line way), so that I can can embed this
    into a nightly batch process.
    Can the Flash Video Encoder support this need?

  • MPG to FLV prob using Flash video encoder

    I've been using the flash video encoder to convert videos to
    FLV to put on websites.
    Today I converted a MPG file to FLV.
    The original MPG video worked fine, the FLV file played sound
    but no picture....any ideas ?

    Hi,
    I have this problem too - I have converted wma files and mpg4 to flv. The encoder does not error but when I play the FLV there is audio but no picture. I am using Windows XP. Is there a solution to this issue?

  • Qmaster and Flash Video Encoder 8

    Can I use Qmaster to set up a render farm to encode Quicktime movies to FLVs using Flash Video Encoder? If so, does anyone know where i can find the command lines samples to se up the Macs?

    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AppleQmaster3_UserManual.pdf
    Pages 18 and 29 should be helpful.
    However, it might just be easier to encode to H.264.

  • Flash Video Encoder Error

    I have Studio 8 and am trying to use Flash Video Encoder for
    the first time to convert a wmv file to flash. When I add the video
    and seek to start the queue, I get an error message which reads,
    "The output file could not be written because you do not have
    enough system privileges." I'm really green at this - can someone
    help? Thanks so much.

    I used to get this issue when I was trying to pull info
    directly from cd-rom. Copy information locally and then try to use
    flash encoder..it should work. let me know

  • Flash Video Encoder Question(s)

    Hello,
    This is the first time we've used Flash Video Encoder. We
    have a video that is about 12 minutes long that is in QuickTime
    format. We have added it to the FVE queue and have two questions.
    1. I think we may have messed up the settings. The first time
    we tried to do this conversion we tooled around in there, but then
    when we tried to go back in later we receive a message that says
    "Flash Video Encoder cannot find the selected file. The file may
    have been moved or deleted" when we click the Settings button.
    2. It takes FOREVER to convert this video. Before we stopped
    it, it had run for 25 minutes and the estimated time left was over
    10 hours.
    Is this normal? What on earth are we doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help.
    GN

    That is odd since I also have quicktime pro and it IS an
    option:

    Maybe that is something that got installed when I installed
    Sorenson Squeeze. I am very sorry if that is the case. Try
    downloading and installing the sorenson squeeze trial and see if
    that helps.

  • Flash Video Encoder for WMV - DW8 vs CS5

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert a WMV file into Flash.  I know that this can be done using DW8's Flash Video Encoder ....but it seems this function is no longer availabe in CS5.
    I would be grateful if someone confirm that this understanding is true.
    Many thanks

    I think this is true. I'm using MacVide VideoFlash converter now. It has trial

  • Flash video encoder slow

    I'm trying to convert a 4.5 minute *.avi to *.flv and am
    having some difficulty. Flash Video Encoder says I have about 15.5
    hours remaining (am 0.5 hours into the process). That seems wholly
    unreasonable given the fact that it took me all of maybe 5 minutes
    to save it as an XviD-encoded *.avi with VirtualDub...
    Any ideas as to how I can speed this up?

    I'm having a similar problem - but my issue has to do with
    why the time to encode on my Mac Pro is slower than on my
    associate's Power Mac G5.
    I'm using the Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert .mov files to
    flv files on a group license. On my station I have the following:
    Hardware Overview:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro1,1
    Processor Name: Dual-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 4
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 12 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MP11.005C.B08
    SMC Version: 1.7f10
    I've got 151 GB available on my system drive.
    Presently, it is taking me approximately 2 hours 45 minutes
    to convert a 6 minute 26 sec mov to a flv with custom settings of:
    Max Date Rate: 300 kbps
    Frame Rate: Same as Source
    Audio Data Rate: 48 kbps (mono)
    500 x 333 pixels.
    HOWEVER, on an associate's computer he is able to convert
    under the same specs, same files, etc. in 1 hour 40 minutes.
    His computer specs are:
    Power Mac G5
    Processor Speed - 2.3 GHz
    2-CPU's
    L2 Cache - 1 mb per CPU
    Memory - 16 GB
    Bus Speed 1.15 GHz
    My computer has much more powerful processor, so we're
    confused why it's taking longer on my computer.
    I also have a second internal drive but presently the
    programs and source file are on my system HD. Someone suggested
    that I should try to make sure that the Video Encoder has max RAM
    allocated to it as well as having the scratch disk and cache set to
    the second internal drive. I don't know how to do this or even if
    it's possible but looking for advice and suggestions on how to
    better optimize the Video Encoder and would appreciate any help
    with this ASAP.
    Thanks!

  • CS3 Flash Video Encoder no sound

    I have been using the Macromedia Flash FLV encoder for a very
    long time, but now that I have upgraded to the CS3 Flash Video
    Encoder the video gets encoded but the audio is always missing.
    All my settings are the same as they always were and when I
    encode an AVI to FLV the audio is missing. How do I fix
    this?

    I to am having the same problem with the flash encoder. Added
    a wmv file and a mov file to the queue and I get the same results.
    I do however see the first frame of the movies. Cannot set in and
    out points because the first frame displays while scrubbing.

  • Flash Video Encoder - Sizing Video

    Hello
    I have an uncompressed video at 720x486. I need to encode it
    to Flash video at 640x480. When I import it into Flash Video
    Encoder, I use the custom settings to output a 640x480 movie at
    30fps and 550kbps using the VP6 codec.
    Flash video outputs a 720x486 movie.
    What am I doing wrong?
    http://www.dorseygraphics.com/forumphotos/flashvideo.png
    Thanks,
    ---------------------S

    I've never had a problem with videos not being resized... and
    many times
    I've made video thumbnails. How are you determining the
    output is incorrect
    anyway? I'd guess it is your method that is wrong - if the
    encoder did not
    resize properly this question would come up daily...and it
    doesn't.

  • Flash video encoder and OS X

    I have Adobe Flash CS3 Video Encoder on my Mac OS X and am trying to convert movies to .flv files. They encode OK, but on playback, the movies are consistently cut off in the middle. Seems other folks are having this problem and are getting no answers from Adobe. Some have said that Flash Video Encoder won't work correctly with Mac 0S X at all and that you have to encode videos using it on Windows. That seems ridiculous to me. Does anyone know anything about this or possible workarounds? Apparently, the issue also occurs with Flash 8's Video Encoder. I need to make flash videos!

  • Flash Video Encoding

    I'm doing research to find all means of encoding Flash Video.
    Currently I have:
    1. Sorenson Squeeze
    2. FlixPro
    3. FlixExporter
    4. Macromedia Flash Video Encoder (Flash 8)
    5. Adobe Flash Video Encoder (Flash CS3)
    Ideally I am looking for any app that can encode alpha
    channels, manage cuepoints, and do batch processing, although if
    there is a flash video encoder you use not on the list, please add
    it.
    So far Sorenson is best for Project management and
    FlixPro/Exporter is best for quality/file size.
    The two need to get married and have a kid.

  • Flash Video Encoder Quit Unexpectedly

    I have an Intel iMac and when I first loaded my Adobe Suite
    everything worked fine, but then the Flash Video Encoder stopped
    working with "Flash Video Encoder Stopped Unexpectedly" and I
    cannot get it to work again. I deleted the files and reloaded the
    program from the original DVD and that did not work.
    When I was setting up a new user on my iMac, I tried running
    the Flash Video Encoder in the other user and it ran fine, but when
    I returned to the main user, it would not start and gave the same
    error. I'm relatively new to Macs - a bit more than a year - so I
    suspect it is some setting or preference or something that I have
    wrong.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.
    -Brian-

    I am getting the exact same error on my windows vista x64.
    I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling quite a number of
    times with no luck. I don't believe it is anything done wrong but
    has to be some kind of bug in the installation somewhere.
    Also any help would be appreciated.

  • Flash Video Encoder Version Update

    I have version 1.0 of the Flash Video Encoder. This came
    bundled with Adobe Web Bundle (Macromedia Studio 8 - including
    Flash Professional 8 and Adobe Creative Suite 2). I need version
    1.2 or above in order to include metadata so my .flv files will
    play in Captivate and on web pages. How can I get an upgrade of the
    Encoder?

    You are mistaken about that I think. There is a Flash Video
    Exporter for MX 04 that can go up to version 1.2. The Flash Video
    Encoder that comes with Flash Pro 8 only goes to 1.0.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flash/mx2004/readme/fmxpro2004_video.html
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/productinfo/encoder/
    So, does Captivate say it needs V1.2 of the Exporter or the
    Encoder? I don't have Flash MX04 so I don't know the
    difference.
