Video Encoding Issues

Hi, I am using Flash 8 on a Windows XP system. I have been
trying to encode some *.avi and *.wmv into *.flv. Although I can
see the video when it is encoding (via the preview screen), but
when it is finished encoding, and I add it into my Flash file, or
just simply playing it, I only get sound and NO video.'
Any resolution to this?
Thanks.

Same problem here.... any help please!

Premiere and Media Encoder CC encoding issue

Hi all,
I am having an encoding issue with PP and ME CC. My video assets are fine, and on the timeline they appear how they should, but when I look at the rendered h264 video there are encoding errors in the video. I have attached two images, the black is how it should look and the white is the error. The video plays fine and then it flickers between the images shown.
It has done this on a few different videos I have rendered over the last few days and I don't know why. It also happens to a different machine on CC as well. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi James,
I've never seen this before. Can you give us more info? Answer all the questions on this FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

Flash 8 Video Switch Issue

I have a user with a dual monitor setup, and whenever he
plays a flash media file, both screens go blank for a moment, then
the left screen switches to 640x480, and the right monitor stays in
its configured rez (1280x1024). Prior to running the flash file,
the left screen also was in 1280x1024, and once the flash file is
terminated, both screens go blank for a moment, and the left screen
reverts to 1280x1024. If I drag the flash file window into the
right screen, it looks normal on that display and vice versa when
back on the left screen except its at 640x480. I've tried
uninstalling/reinstalling the complete Flash 8 package, no change.
This is driving my user mad.. What can I do to remedy this?

Jerkyness observed when live video encoded on FMLE

Hi All,
I am trying to encode live stream using FMLE 3.2 on mac mini.
Input is of 1.5mbps with 640x480. It is coming throgh canopus and firewire to mac mini.
I have set my bitrates to
1. 800kbps H264 main @3.1 resolution 640x480
2. 500kbps H264 main @3.1 resolution 480x360
3. 300kbps H264 main @3.1 resolution 320x240
My FMS parameters are, FMS URL:rtmp://localhost/live , streamname : livestream%i
The live video encodes fine when i have only 1 stream encoding. But jerkyness observed when i have 3 bitrates enabled on encoder. What could be the issue?
I thought i can use FMLE to adaptive streaming.
I will be using 3 different streams for pc and mobile. Please let me know if i have any issues on the encoder side
Any pointers would be useful.
Thanks.

For VP6 MBR:
640x480 size or below; 2 or 3 streams at 25 fps: Dual Core (Core 2 Duo 3GHz, 2GB RAM)

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.

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?

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

Best Quicktime settings for Video Encoder?

This is to reiterate the issue originally posted under
this
topic.
Summary: CS3 encoded FLV (using Quicktime movie as source)
stops playing halfway through (likely related to the audio)...
Solution: Set audio of Quicktime movie to 44.100 kHz (not
22.050) sample rate before encoding to FLV.
Continued Issue: Is Adobe working on a fix to the Flash
Video Encoder so that all Quicktime settings are supported?
Question: Any recommendations for the "best" Quicktime
video/audio settings (codecs, frame rate, etc.) for FLV encoding to
optimize quality and minimize file size?

Voddie,
I'm definitely no expert; so if others have better info, I
hope they will post too. And the guidance below is from a Mac
perspective.
Using
Quicktime Pro, you can export each movie and adjust the
Options. Under the Quicktime Options (see this
screen
image
for the two settings windows that you will access), the Sound
Options is where you'll set the sample rate to 44.100 kHz, then
save the file(s).
If Quicktime Pro is not available, you might look into
ffmpegX
as an option (though I have not tried this myself).
Note: I read that for version MX, it was recommended that the
Quicktime sound be uncompressed, or encoded using ALaw 2:1 or ADPCM
codecs. I'm not sure if this is true for CS3. Again, I hope others
will chime in.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 encoding issues due to graphic opacity settings?

Our marketing team has been working on some instructional video content in Premiere Pro CC 2014 and have encountered issues with encoding the completed sequences. Our output format is HD video with the H.264 codec, 1920 x 1080, 30 FPS.
The symptom of the problem is that the encoding process cannot proceed beyond 50%, and in some cases, does not start at all. Simply put, we can't encode any videos to completion.
We think we have isolated the issue, which we initially believed was due to video format differences between the two cameras used to shoot the footage. An EPS logo was present throughout the video with reduced opacity (80%). When we removed the logo, the videos began encoding properly, and to completion. When the EPS logo was included at 100% opacity, the videos also encoded properly and to completion.
Has anyone else been encountering similar issues in Premiere Pro or After Effects CC 2014? If so, what was the resolution? Is there a known issue with the opacity of graphic assets in video encoding?

I've occasionally seen problems with say multiple masks & final render-out/exporting, but I've not seen one here on a graphic's opacity causing a problem. It's a very common part of the tool-kit, of course, for most pro/semi-pro editing. Even a lot of amateur stuff.
Which leads me to wonder what would happen if you created a fresh graphic of some sort, applied it a partial & full opacity, on a SHORT clip ... just to test things. Trying to establish if it's graphic opacity in general as your problem, or this specific graphic and/or its settings.

No video after Flash 8 Video Encoder

I have read some other posts and although they are similar,
none of the solutions posted helps me fix my specific issue.
Using Flash 8 on Windows XP Pro SP2, I have a MPEG-2 file. I
can play the MPEG file using Windows Media Player 11 and RealPlayer
11 but I cannot play it using QuickTime 7.2. When I load the MPEG
file into Flash 8 Video Encoder (to convert it to a FLV file), it
doesn't seem to recognize that there is a video portion. It
recognizes there is an audio portion. By this I mean:
1. In Flash 8, click on File > Import > Import video...
2. Browsed to the MPEG file and clicked Next
3. Selected Progressive download... and clicked Next
4. In the Encoding screen, the video portion (top right hand
corner) is just blank.
In the MPEG files that work, I see the first frame of the
video. So, Flash 8 Video Encoder does not recognize there is a
video portion. Also, in Advanced Settings, in the Encodign tab, the
Encode Video checkbox is grayed out and not selectable. Only the
Encode Audio is checkable.
In writing this, I think the problem is my MPEG file. So I'll
continue to search the net for solutions to this. I just hope
someone has run into this issue in this forum and provide some
guidance.
Thanks.

Video Encoding Error after system upgrade

I recently upgraded to the new Maverick OS. I needed to burn some DVDs. Other than the other idvd projects needing to reconnect with the media they worked fine. but I have one that keeps aborting DVD burns with the error that it was aborted during video encoding. Has anyone else experience this glitch? Does it have anything to do with maverick? I have tried reconnecting the media, using different encoding formats, nothing has worked so far.

I too have the same issue. No problem before upgrading to Mavericks. This is what I found.
If I am using something I created in iMovie I have no problems. If I have a file not created from iMovie, I get the error sometimes. I create a lot of files from Handbrake to put on my Apple TV. If I select Apple TV 2 in Handbrake, I get the error when putting in iDVD. If I choose Normal encoding (default), I don't have the issue. Both are M4V files and are MP4 format. I look at the difference in the file encoding from command I in finder and there is very little difference. The one that won’t work has a codec called AC3. The one that works doesn’t have AC3 listed. In Quicktime, I do a command-I and I find the data rate is slower on the one that works. Other than that they are identical. Very strange. I am going to do what works.

Flash Video Encoding Bit Rate

Hi All,
I have been working with Flash video telephony for many years now and its great to see AEC, AGC (acoustic gain control), UDP and H264 have arrived.
I spend much time simulating network conditions and devising algorithms which can produce video quality equal to Skype.
There are plenty of stats availabile (packet loss, in/outbound bit rate, frames dropped and so on) BUT....
The big issue is the inability for the flash video encoder(s) (H264 seems no better) to obey the target bit rate.
Rather than address this I believe Flash chooses to drop frames when it detects issues in local upload congestion.
However the ability to match the receivers download requirements is not possible. The encoder frequently bursts way above the configured bit rate resulting in packets loss or latency (UDP vs TCP). We end up having to go well below the target bit rate to compensate and take in to account that the higher the encoding quality the more likely flash is to burst over the specified rate. The whole effort is wasted unless this is addresses and Flash 11/H264 is worse than before.
If we have grossly overlooked something or you would like to see a link to a working example of the problem please let me know.
Kind Regards

Hi Ben
Could I see a link to a working example please?
Thank in advance,

Final Cut Pro, Flash Video Encoder & Flash Player

Well, let's get started.... I'm getting real frustrated with
Adobe. I emailed them about this problem two months ago and NEVER
got a response. This is extremely unacceptable product support. We
just purchased the Creative Suite Premium two months ago and have
never gotten Flash Video Encoder to properly encode a Quicktime
video exported from Final Cut Pro.
I have heard from a few on the Final Cut Pro forum on
Creative COW that there is a bug with this issue between Flash and
Final Cut Pro. Adobe doesn't seem to care if I report it, so that's
why I am here.
I create my program as usual, export a Quicktime file (not
reference video, but a full self-contained Quicktime). BTW, I have
Quicktime 7.2 on my Mac Pro Quad 3.0 with 8 gig of RAM. I open
Flash Video Encoder to make my flash files. Import the Quicktime
and select my settings which are custom. I set it to encode and
wait for the encoding to be done. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to
encode a 23 minute program. After the encode is finished, I check
the Flash file by opening it up. BTW, I also have installed a copy
of On2 Flix Exporter, which encodes Flash files, too. The On2 Flash
player is the only player that works. Adobe's Flash player opens
but it won't open ANY Flash files.
Has anyone seen this?

When I try to import it on FCPX it says "None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again." and even on Compressor it either doesn't play and fails to convert, or else it plays only a the audio but once I've completed the process the outputted file doesn't play anything.
Here's a screenshot at my different attempts to convert it. I managed to get the record the video on VLC, but I can't record the audio so I tried getting only the audio form Compressor as well, but like I said the outputted file doesn't play any audio even though it's as long as the video (36 mins approx.).
