Using movies on iWeb

I am still trying out .mac, seeing if it will work for me. I bought iLife 08, but found out that the new iMovie will not ruu on non-intel machines.
I see the demos that people can have these amazing videos on their site. I made a 2 minute movie and exported it "for web" in imovie. I dropped it into my iweb page and
1) the 2 minute movie ended up being 4.2 mb.. Isn't there a way to get this smaller? I use Flash encoder for my other sites, but it seems like this would be more efficient.
2) I try to hit the "play" button in quicktime, but the movie doesn't play in either Firefox or Safari, although I see it loading on the screen

Your link for browserweb.org gives me a blank page. If the PCs have Quicktime installed they should be able to view the movie. Also there's a lot more about an iWeb page that PCs running IE will have problems with.
Roddy has gathered a number of tips on making iWeb more compliant with IE.
"Basically, iWeb is way too sophisticated for Internet Explorer to handle.
You have to "build down" your site for the World's Worst Browser.
Use web safe fonts.
Don't convert text to graphics.
Optimize all your images.
Don't use drop shadows, reflections etc.
Keep your page file sizes down to a minimum.
Run your files through an optimizing application"
The site I've used is http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/. I don't know how accurate it is though.

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Can I make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb?

    I need to know if I can make an aperture slideshow and use it in iweb (not making it a quicktime movie)? I don't want to use I photo (I know how to make one in Iphoto and put it in Iweb and I dont want to do this). (dont want a .mac gallery either) Please help. thank you!!!

    Aperture slide shows are just for review. They can not be output. TBMK
    Honestly, you've exhausted most of what iLife can do, and quicktime will probably be your output even if you go to Keynote to make your slide show.
    But with Keynote you'll have more control over how the Quicktime is compressed.
    Otherwise, you're looking at the expense AND the learning curve of Flash.
    Maybe someone else will chime in with a 3rd party solution.

  • Can one post movies via iWeb which cannot be saved by the viewer?

    Does anyone know of a way to make movies on iWeb "view only" and not savable by the viewer of the website? This would enable me to post movies which I want to show but don't want them to have to have access to the file to use as they please.

    If someone wants a video, he gets the video...
    There's no full protection... One way or another you get all you want... And there are also many tools out there to grab stuff from websites and so on...
    However using flash is better than using quicktime under this aspect too...
    (Quicktime you just have to save as source and that's it...)
    I don't know any way sorry...

  • How to use .mov files for video in Flash...

    I am trying to use .mov files for my Flash videos. I know it uses .mp4/flv/f4v, but I really need to use .movs. I know this works... but how?
    Suggestions?

    unfortunately running it through Adobe Encoder makes it a much, much larger file and the quality goes out the window. i really need to use .mov.
    any suggestions?

  • Can we use Movement Type other than 653

    Hi all
    we are using movement type 653 for material which are being returned by customer.
    we dont want to create FD ( Free of Chagre)  Sales order against the returned delivery.
    Problem
    The Return Delivery is being showed in VLO6  transaction,(outbound delivery),we dont want the return delivery to get displayed in this transaction.Is their any other transaction we can use inplace of 653,in order to get material in unrestricted stock as well as the delivery should not be get displayed in the transaction.
    I have created the new return delivery type (By copying LR) and at the time of runing the T-code VLO6,I exclude that delivery.
    In this way the delivery is not being shown.
    If there is any other way to slove this issue please let me know.
    Thanks
    Siddharth

    The "Return Delivery" is being showed in VLO6
       transaction, "(outbound delivery)"
    Not sure on this.  When you say you created a return delivery, how it is appearing in outbound delivery list.  For information, standard movement types in SD for returns are 651, 653 & 655 and transfer the blocked stock to unrestricted use with movement types like 453, if you wish to do so.
    But strictly speaking, all returns will have to be addressed in QM and only after their clearance, any returned material should be reused.
    thanks

  • Not sure how to use Movie Maker with my HP TrueVision HD webcam

    I've never used Movie Maker before. When I fire it up and double-click Webcam video in the ribbon I get a splash screen saying "Please Start YouCam"
    I assume it is possible to make a video using the build-in webcam, and to save it to disk.
    I need some help understanding how to do that.
    Thanks.

    Peer One,
    You know, if you hadn't replied, other people who might be inclined to actually help, might see that there were "0" replies, but now someone may actually think I've received helpful advice and skip it.  If that seems harsh, would you mind taking the time to address a couple of meta-issues?
    1. You state that Movie Maker is a Microsoft product. Now, my question was how to make Movie Maker work with the built-in camera on my HP laptop. Movie Maker itself seems to launch just fine, but it appears to be unaware of a piece of HP hardware, hence my post to an HP forum. How do you figure it is helpful to inform me (as if I didn't know) that Movie Maker is made by Microsoft? Does it matter if movie maker is made by Acme Software? My problem is essentially that I can't get Movie Maker to see my HP camera. Are you just attempting to scold me for not realizing Movie Maker is not an HP product? Is the forum ONLY to assist people having difficulty with HP software?
    2. You write "you might want to read up the instructions." Are you just being passive-aggressive or is this comment actually intended as assistance? Now, I fully expect you to double-down at this point. I know that almost all respondents to forums who make these kinds of remarks never apologize and admit they are simply being critical with no attempt to be helpful. Unless you believe that by stating the obvious, it is helpful. (Do you?) While it is of little value to explain this, let me say that the Microsoft instructions for Movie Maker that I was able to find (note: MM itself does not include a help entry on any of its ribbon menus or sub-menus -- and if you are unaware of that, don't you think you should have investigated it prior to taking on the role of scolder-in-chief for this thread?) did not explain how to activate one's built-in camera. I firmly believe such a help topic is covered somewhere, but I simply couldn't find it after considerable searching. I didn't feel it necessary to point that out in my question -- I guess I just assume people are more charitable or willing to help than was the ONE PERSON WHO COMMENTED AND THUS OFFERED HIS "1" UNDER THE "REPLIES" COLUMN.
    3. You ask if my laptop has a built-in camera. You know something? I know my four sentence post was a trifle difficult for some folks to read and understand (OK, now I plead guilty to a charge of passive-agressiveness), but don't you feel the use of the phrase "built-in webcam" (ok, ok, so I misspelled it "build-in" instead of "built-in") should have been a pretty strong clue that my laptop has a webcam?
    Well, I wish there was some way to totally delete your extremely condescending and unhelpful response. But maybe someone who actually can offer some assistance will ignore the "1" and make it a "2" for the number of replies.
    Thanks for your attention.

    Where are you looking?
    Here:

    Keep in mind that your Library folder is hidden by default in Mountain Lion.
    To find it, hold down the option key and choose the Go menu in the Finder.
    You might also want to try posting your question over in the iWeb area.

  • Using .mov and mp4 in Dreamweaver.

    I know that I can use .Fla for movies or animations in Dreamweaver but it has been noted to me that Mac Ipads and others do not recognize Flash.  Is it possible to use .mov or mp4 in dreamweaver and if so how?   My primary interest in using those formats is to set up photo slide shows.  I am currently using the Adobe creative Suite  5.5 master collection.  Any info would be appreciated.

    thanks. i did that and found the files/foders that i mentioned above
    i have 6 configuration folders, i guess the one titled Configuration is the latest
    in it i see
    FileCache.dat but do not see WinFileCache-********.dat
    i did open filecache.dat in notepad and i saw chinese characters
    should i delete that file?

  • Using 10.6 iweb 3.04 . I make a small change on a page  , then choose publish changes , but seems to take hours and seems to want to publish the whole site , not just a small change?

    Doing the following wouldn't hurt either:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.

    launch iWeb and try again.

  • Stock Transfer for Excisable Materials Using Movement Type 301

    Hi,
    We are having a Plant 1002 as excisable Materials.
    During GR we following the process like GR (Part -I), Capture Invoice, Post Invoice.
    Can we transfer the Material from Plant 1002 to other Plant, say 1001, using Movement Type 301?
    Or we need to follow some other router for Stock Transfer for the Excisable Materials?
    I was told by the ex-consultant that we would be using Mov Type 301 for all Stock Transfers, but I have a doubt, please guide.*
    Regards,

    Hi PK,
    Here in Brazil we work with excisable material and when we have to transfer it plant to plant, we have to use IVA that performs tax posts on accounting document. Also, we have to create Nota Fiscal (BrazillianLegal Document).
    I think you have to talk to your legal/accounting area in order to make sure which procedure you will have to use.
    If you need tax posting on accounting document, then you will not be able to use 301 movement type.
    We use MM/SD Plant to Plant transfer (movement type 861 / 862)
    Depending on your Legal/accounting area feed back, you could use this scenario or just MM plant to plant transfer (movement type 303/305).
    If they are ok with no tax postings on accounting document, then 301 movement type should be used.
    Try to make a test, show then how it works, then you could get ok from then
    I hope it helps you.
    Best Regards,
    Natan

  • Sales Returns Stock posting using movement type 651

    I want to upload the sales returns stock using movement type 651. Because, our existing company code 'xxxx' has been changed to 'zzzz' and all the stocks, balances and so on has been uploaded and carry forwarded to new company code 'zzzz'.
