Video in Dreamweaver

We currently have a swf video on our site and I have been trying to keep the skin and just replace the video. Even though the .fla file has changed when I save the page and upload, I am still getting the original video.
The video was taken by a digital camera and I used Adobe Media Recorder to encode it but it will still not work.
Do I need to completely re code this area and not use the same skin so that my video will play---Can I set a page placeholde that will allow for video changes as I need them or is each a seperate entity?
Here is the LInk to the original page http://www.indianapta.org/INPresident.html

Thank you for the help. I would really like to solve this ASAP

What is the link to the new test page?
The old link still has
Images/Videos/TBennett1
as the file name... with the "1"
However, the code you posted DOES have a video file at:
http://www.indianapta.org/Images/Videos/TBennett.flv
"The page I duplicated from had the video and swf in the main video folder- would that meke a difference?"
VERY MUCH YES! If the FLVPlayback (FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf) which is now in the same folder as the Web page...
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
is expecting the video to be in
http://www.indianapta.org/TBennett.flv
same folder as Web page..
but the actual video is in:
http://www.indianapta.org/Images/Videos/TBennett.flv
it never finds the video file due to a pathing error.
So you can just move the video to the same folder as the Player.swf or go into the .fla used to create that player and change the contentPath down in the Properties Panel, under "Parameters" to the correct path (Images/Videos/TBennett.flv)
Here is a short article for review of "Pathing" Flash assets:
Pathing issues
Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location. So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

How to center or format embedded youtube video in Dreamweaver CS4?

I'm pretty new at using Dreamweaver, but I created a website that I would like to embed a youtube video in.
I've got the embedding part down-- copying code-- but it doesn't format. I have a couple of APDivs at the top of the page, and I'd like the video to be embedded in the center of the page.
The problem is, no matter where I place the embed code, the video ends up at the top left of the page, under the APDivs.
How can I fix this?

First, don't use APDivs as your primary layout method. This seldom works well, here's why:
http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
Build your markup logically from top of page to bottom.
Use default CSS positioning (unspecified or static) to keep your content within the normal document flow. APDivs are removed from the normal document flow.
Use CSS margins, padding and floats to align elements where desired.
See this demo.
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/2-col-fixed-flash-holder.shtml
To center elements on screen, you need 3 things:
     1) a valid document type. DW does this for you when you create a new page.
     2) a container width in pixels, ems or %.
     3) margin-left and margin-right of 'auto' (browser defaults).
CSS:
     #video {
     width: 500px; /**adjust width as req'd**/
     margin: 0 auto;
HTML:
     <div id="video">
     YouTube embed code goes here

Inserting Flash video in Dreamweaver

This is my first time using Dreamweaver and it's been a blast but I get to the point of needing to insert a Flash video and it gives me a message: "Making this change would require changing a code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded."
Is the template the index page I use as my template for other pages?
What code is it that I need to change to insert the video?

Are you sure you aren't working with a template driven page?
When you insert media files into DW, it must write code in the <head> tags to reference Scripts necessary for Flash media to work on the web.
If you're working with a page that was created from a Template, the DWT page must have editable regions in the <head> tags, or you won't be able to add media to your web pages.

Removing menu from Flash video in Dreamweaver

I have used the Flash Encoder to convert some videos to FLA.
I am now using Dreamweaver, "Insert->Flash Video", to add a FLA
file to a web page. I got the video in fine and it plays on the
page just fine. I would like to remove the menu from the video, but
there is not an option in properties to select "none" for the flash
video menu. I also tried changing the attirbute
"&skinName=SteelExternalNoVol" to "&skinName=none" and that
made the flash video not show up.
I would also like to loop the video and that option is not
available in the Dreamweaver menu.
My code is

How can i sharpen my Video in dreamweaver CC with resolution 1280 x 1024

I am using dreamweaver cc. Recently I made a power point video and then converted it to a swf video file. I am in the process of making a digital announcer page/ message board.
I made the video to fit screen with 280 x 1024 so it became blury. how can i remove the blur at the same time keep my resolution?

If the actual video is smaller that 280 x 1024 and you're using html/css to enlarge it to that size, there's really nothing in DW that can help. You would need to recreate the video to the correct final resolution in whatever program you used to create it.

Trouble with Streaming Video in Dreamweaver 8

Hello,
I am having trouble inserting a streaming FLV into a CFM page
via Dreamweaver. I have successfully done this using Flash 8
Pro’s FLVPlayback component. I think the problem is my
syntax, but I could be wrong.
Here is what I used in Flash that is currently working:
- contentPath: rtmp://serverIPAddress/loadTest/test.flv
Here is what I’ve been trying to do in Dreamweaver via
the GUI when choosing Insert > Media > Flash Video >
Streaming video:
- Server URI: rtmp://10.64.189.66/loadTest/myLoadTest
(Note: myLoadTest is the new instance name that I gave
loadTest in the FMS console.)
- Stream name: test.flv or test
When I do the above in Dreamweaver and try to auto detect the
dimensions of the FLV it just times out and give an error message.
I put in some values and ran the file anyway and it does nothing.
If anyone can help figure out what I’m doing wrong I
will be greatly appreciative!! :)
Thanks,
Eric

Having the same exact problem you are. One thing you might
check that I have also done to no avail, is to be sure your MIME
extensions are added to your webserver (IIS or Apache). That seems
to be a common mistake and if that doesn't help you, it will at
least tackle the next problem you might encounter.

Problem Using Flash FLV Video Via Dreamweaver CS3

I have been unable to get my FLV video to play on my website.
I seem to have two problems:
1) I want the FLV file to be hosted in a different domain to
the website itself (for bandwidth reasons) and it doesn't want to
do that!
2) I would prefer to use Flash skins rather than Dreamweaver
skins as I want to offer a full-screen option but I cannot get them
to work!
If I host the FLV file on the website domain, the video plays
ok. If I change the file location in the Properties of the movie to
become the FLV located on the other domain (using full path
http://<etc>flv) then nothing
displays on that part of the page. Firebug tells me it has loaded
the AC_RunActiveContent.js and FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf but it
makes no mention of the skin file or the flv file itself ... it is
as if it just simply has not bothered with it! I suspect I am
missing something obvious but cannot find it. All help would be
appreciated. By the way, I have loaded up a crossdomain.xml file to
the root of the domain that hosts the flv file but that didn't seem
to make any difference!
The second challenge is that ideally I would like to use a
Flash skin so that I can have a full-screen option and so that I
can have the menu bar under the video itself. However, I can't even
get that option to work when I host the whole lot on the normal
webserver! I am suspecting that it might be something that might
suddenly start working when I fix problem 1. However, if anybody
has any links to a page that provides simple instructions about how
to do this task I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks for your help!

1) Why not post your video to YouTube or Google Video and
then embed the
code they provide into your website. This way their servers
carry the
bandwidth for you and the scripted embed code will work on
your site.
2) If Video sharing isn't an option, and you need more
bandwidth, you can
get domain hosting for as little as $4.95 - 6.95/month at
Bluehost,
Lunarpages or Web Hosting Pad.

Flash video into Dreamweaver 5.5

I'm not a web designer but, I'm trying to keep cost down by building my own web site. So, I'm re-building my website with Dreamweaver 5.5. I'm using 5 flash videos to discribe what I do. I made the movies and edited the movies in Final Cut Pro and saved it as a quicktime movie. Then I took the QT movie to Adove Media Encoder 5.5 chancing it to an FLV
Here is my problem. I place it using "Insert, media, FLV". I set the size and all the junk to have it play then click, OK. In the code I get "Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player." I have the newest version on my computer.   When I check "LIVE VIEW" I don't have the video. I uploaded the page to my website and it only shows my placeholders as a white box.
The ohter issue is that I used a spry menu bar for all my pages. In the "LIVE VIEW" and looking at it in "preview" Safari it looks great. When I up loaded it some of the text is bold (the way I wanted it) and some as plane text. you can see all the problems at digitalmontagefilms.com
I'm using Cyberduck because I can't get connected using Dreamweaver to yahoo.

Hi; I fixed the spry problem> This is the code for the memories page.

Loading Flash Video in Dreamweaver

Hi:
I'm moderately experienced with Dreamweaver and have just
begun using flash to create videos. I created a flash video and a
swf. file in flash and it all worked fine. I then put the entire
folder (flash project, flv video and swf file) on my web site. When
I insert the swf. it won't play in dreamweaver or in preview in
browser. I've had a little tutoring in this and my tutor thought
that dreamweaver can't locate the swf file even thought the content
path seems to be fine.
I've tried a few different ways and it just doesn't work. Can
anyone suggest any things I can look at to solve this. I know that
this should all work so I assume I have a setting or preference set
incorrectly.
Any ideas.
Thanks,
Rex

The code on that page looks as though it is generated by
Dreamweaver CS3
(or possibly an earlier version of Dreamweaver). Dreamweaver
CS4 uses
different code, which can be inserted in a template editable
region
without difficulty.
To get around the problem in your case, deselect the option
to prompt
users to download the Flash Player if necessary. That's what
is
preventing you from using an FLV in a template page.

Insert Flash Video using Dreamweaver CS3

Hello,
If I were to import an FLV into Flash CS3, I would have the
ability to add text or images to the movie as needed. However, I am
testing Dreamweaver's ability to insert a Flash video directly onto
a web page, without the use of Flash CS3. I'm using Progressive
Download with the "Halo Skin 3" component. My question is: can the
Flash Video component inserted by Dreamweaver CS3 be edited somehow
using Flash CS3? I would be attempting to add text to the first
frame of the movie.
Thanks.

Broken Flash Video link - Dreamweaver CS3

I'm using a Mac G-5, PPC, Dreamweaver CS3
I cannot get FLV videos to show up on webpages. I've never had this prob before. (I currently have pages online which play their vids fine and were produced the same way I'm working it now.) I insert the video onto the page as usual, make the setting for "progressive download", "detect size", etc in the dialog box and hit OK. The video shows on my page in Dreamwvr as a Flash Vid but after saving and testing in a browser nothing shows up in 3 different browsers. I tested the page in Firefox, Netscape and Flock and nothing shows. In Opera the video player shows but will not play. In Safari it plays fine! In Dreamweaver, in the "assets" window, when I select any of the 4 FLV's there, I get the broken link icon (jigsaw puzzle piece) showing in the window yet the vids reside in the same place they've always resided.
The "AC_RunActiveContent.js" file is contained in the "Scripts" folder inside the "Files" window.
I have a page containing videos which is currently published and they play fine in all tested browsers......however in Dreamwvr's "assets" window I am getting the same symbol that looks like the broken link (puzzle piece) there as well and NO changes have been made to those files and assets.
Here's the link to that online page:
https://mnbbank.com/financial_video.html
I'd like to include a screenshot but I can't because the CSS, Tag & Files/Assets windows close when the screen capture software opens.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Size limits for embedding video in Dreamweaver?

I have a .wmv file. I need to make it viewable in a website. Can someone tell me what the target size should be for the file? The 11-minute .wmv file handed me is almost 700 MB. Something tells me that is too large. Is there a size I should get it down to? Thanks

Hi Paul,
no worries because of the size. If you can embed the video as an flv your visitors will decide ot themselves whether they want to watch the whole video or use fast-forward, because there they can use this control panel.
If you upload your movie to a Video Sharing site like YouTube you wouldn't have some problems with video's size. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YouTube (> "Uploading").
On the other hand you could try Adobe Widget Browser where you will find the "youtube-player":
