Video plays in swfiles but not when uploaded to website

Hi, does anyone have any idea why videos embedded in a swf
file play okay in the swf file or when tested as a movie on the CS3
stage, but when uploaded to my website will not play? I am
completely baffled by this.
My website link is at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafive/index.html
On the Bolivia and Chile page the videos do not appear once
the video is uploaded to my website. I have no idea why this should
be when the actual videos play perfectly well within the swf file
itself. I have put the encoded flash videos inside the same folder
as the swf file and uploaded everything, but no joy.
The swf file is 2.97 MB; not sure if that would present any
problem or not once uploaded
My video on another project plays fine at
http://www.marykingmedia.com/marykingmediafour/index.html
Can anyone cast any light on what the problem is with my
South America project?
Thanking you all..

Hi xchanin, thanks for your feedback. I dont quite understand
what you mean by this part here ... but if you do that process a
couple of times (with the same .mov file) you get the same .flv but
the name of your video is incremented by one each time?
Pretty well much I followed this tutorial
http://multimedia.journalism.berkeley.edu/tutorials/flash/building-flash-templates/adding- video/
I put a FLVPlayback component on my Flash stage.
I encoded my videos in the CS3 video encoder and followed the
settings given in the above tutorial link. I did not resize or crop
the videos, I set the quality to medium and I gave my videos a name
prior to encoding it.
After encoding the film, I highlighted the FLVPlayback
Component and in the parameters found the content path and then
linked that to my encoded videos one by one. Then I saved my
worked, played it in the movie tester and then I exported my swf
file to my Dreamweaver folder, but I did rename my exported file
(it is not the same name as my Fla file). Could that make a
difference? I also put my Flv videos in the same folder as my swf
file and uploaded them to my server. I put the swf file on my html
page and then uploaded that to my server. My website shows the swf
file but the videos do not appear at all. However, the videos do
appear in the actual swf file when I play that.
I would be grateful to know if you see anything wrong with my
working process here. Could the renaming of the exported file have
caused the problem?
Thanking you.

Video plays on PC but not my Macbook Pro-comes up as blank disc

Hello, I have a DVD with a video on it that plays fine on a PC but on my Macbook Pro it says that it's a blank DVD and will not play the video that is on the disc. The video plays on Windows Media Player when I open it on a PC, so I installed the newsest version of Flip4Mac thinking this would work, but the disc still shows up as a blank disc and cannot be played. Do I need a different software or is this something that cannot be fixed? I work in the legal field, so I got the DVD from an attorney, and I frequently tend to have problems opening videos on my macbook pro that come from the legal field.
Thanks!

What format is the video? Is it .wmv? Do the DVD's have any type of protection or encryption? This information will help in finding a solution.

Music video plays in itunes but not on ipod

hi
like my subject line states, i transferred a whole bunch of music videos off of dvd into mp4 format using videora.
they play in itunes but not on my ipod.
i transferred about 400 or so at the same time to ipod do you think that's why most of them won't play ?
should i do it one by one ?
thanks.

it's more than just the mp4 format. They need to be encoded correctly with the right dimensions and other attributes as well. I don't bother with this sort of thing right now. If there is anyone who has these specs, just post them here. Otherwise, you can always google them or search these boards for the proper format/size/encoding.

Site Displays Perfectly in DW Preview But Not When Uploaded

Hi,
I have a site which displays fine in IE, both the CSS and
XHTML validate and when I use the FF preview in looks just fine.
However when I upload the site to the server, the footer and a
couple of images are missing and I'm just can't figure out why. All
the paths are correct but I just can't figure out why it displays
correctly in the preview FF and it's not when uploaded and viewed
in FF. Site diplays in IE without any problems via preview or
upload.
Any help?

I think you'll need to post a link or some code.

Ipod nano plays with headphones but not when plugged in to player

I have a nano 16gb 4th or 5th generation. It has worked fine up until about a week ago. It works if I plug in the headphones, but not when it is plugged into the car stereo or an iHome. Any thoughts?

If:
-you and your husband have the same generation iPod nano
-they both have the same latest software
-you tried the car stereo with the same iPod charging cord.
(with 32 pins connector I just wanted to make sure it is not the headphone plug)
this means that the problem is indeed with your iPod nano.
Since you also said that before last week everything worked fine, something must've gone wrong after that.
This could be software-related or hardware-related. Did you try to connect it to your computer? Does the computer recognise it? Can you still charge it?
If the computer does recognise the iPod it might be a good idea to 'repair' your iPod via iTunes.
Or try the Five R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/# (more or less the same for 4th and 5th gen)
If your computer does not recognise it, it probably needs to be repaired. But since it is 4th or 5th generation I guess the warranty is void already, and you'll have to decide how much this is worth to you or if you wouldn't want to buy a new one.

Videos play on iPhone, but not MacBook (page generated by 'Save for Web')

I have QT 10, and I wanted to post a video I made on a personal webpage. I used the 'save for web' option from within QT 10, and it generated the usual ugly HTML page, the MOV file, and the source files that I specified. I edited the HTML to make it look a bit prettier and added the extra content I wanted to have, and uploaded it to my webserver (page is located at http://www.mripatientsafety.com/NERHRM/Resources/NERHRM_TGilk_on_MRI_Safety.html).
The video played when I loaded it on my iPhone, but wouldn't load / display on my MacBook in either Firefox or Safari. I thought it might be something wrong with the MOV wrapper file, so I changed the HTML to skip the MOV and point directly to the MV4 file, but the exact same symptoms persist.
I don't do this often, but I have used the 'Save for Web' feature maybe a half-dozen times before, and I've never had this problem. At this point, I'm thinking that the problem might be:
I'm a dummy and goofed up a section of code and didn't realize it.
There's been updates to Firefox and Safari since the last time I tried this (perhaps a year ago) and they now are unfriendly with the way that QT 10 prepares the HTML.
I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer to help make sure that the video displays properly for the greatest number of viewers.
Thank you in advance.

Further update:
I am trying to import the files to my Macbook Pro (10.10.3) via Photos, and it will not allow me to import them.
I receiving the below error message:
The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may to contain valid data).
Reason: The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.ImageCaptureCore error -9912.)
The file types are .mp4 and .mov
Any ideas or recommendations?
I have done a Hard reset, soft reset, and tried resetting network settings.
I have done a Manual Backup to computer and did a backup to iCloud- but I have not restored the iPhone yet, as I am not sure if the files are being backed up or not?
I also tried using a third party transfer app (AnyTrans) to transfer the files to my computer hard drive, but it would not allow the transfer and kept skipping the videos which won't play back (even though it recognizes them - but won't play them back).

Flash videos play in preview, but not live website...

I have embedded .FLV video files into my website. The videos play in my preview browser with no problems. When I upload them to my live site, and try to view them on the web, there is just a white space where they are supposed to be, and they do not play. The url of the webpage with the video is :
http://www.centrometalcut.com/Photos/abrasivephotos.asp
I have searched for all kinds of answers and solutions, tried tons of different things, and I cannot seem to fix this. I am so frustrated, please help!! Thanks.

Embedded Video Plays on PCs but Not Macs

As the King of Siam declared, "It's a puzzlement."
I'm updating a site and have embedded a .mov from the client's YouTube channel using YouTube's preferred <iframe> code. Here is the URL: http://www.realcosmetics.com/ourStory.html.
The video will play in all of the browsers on my Win7 PC (latest Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, and IE which also emulates IE7 & IE8). It will also play on the PCs of friends I've asked to test. It will not play from the page on any Macs where we've tested. [FYI, the .mov file was edited on a Mac and plays there.]
It will play on the Macs, however, from the YouTube channel. And the guy who is building the Facebook page embedded the same video on a tab using the old YouTube <object><embed> code. The test Macs have no problem playing the video from the FB page.
So, I tried switching to the old <object><embed>. Still doesn't play on the Macs, so I restored the iframe code.
What is totally confusing is that I recently embedded videos from YouTube into another site using YouTube's <iframe> code, and the client can play those on the Macs. Both pages use the same DOCTYPE (XHTML 1.0 Transitional) and code copied from YouTube. The page validates (after I removed the allowfullscreen switch which W3C said wasn't valid under the DOCTYPE).
I've searched online through forums and discussion threads for solutions, and while I found several that seemed to work for one person but not another (having to do with changing Mac preferences, etc.), none of those solutions worked on the test Macs.
Any ideas from you wonderful gurus? The answer may be staring me in the face but can't see it for having stared at it for so long. The only difference between this application and the previous one that I can think of is that the host servers are not the same company.
Thanks for pondering this!
Chris

Adninjastrator,
My advice was on the back of testing in Firebug - it was there I saw the .text div overlapping the Video. The video will become 'active' if I remove the float from #rcsVideo, however there are other floats and positioning that aren't helping anything.
To clarify, I can't get the play button to change when I hover over it (and I can't click it to play it) until I disable the float on #rcsVideo. Bizarre but that's what happens - in both FF and Chrome. No idea why this works in Windows machines without disabling the float. As you can see in the images attached, .text highlights the entire video area. Then, by disabling float:left on #rcsVideo, the text area is not covering the video.
The video itself is direct from youtube and has a flash fallback as well as many other kinds of fallback for all machines. As such, this displays in my iPad.

SWF plays in preview but not when published

I have seen similar issues posted but none dealing with this
precise problem. I have two SWFs, one of which loads at the end of
the other. When SWF 1 is played back in Flash or when published in
HTML format, SWF2 plays as is should. When SWF is exported to
another program (e.g. Frontpage or Ektron, CMS), SWF2 will not
play. Interestingly, when SWF2 is exported to the other program on
its own, it plays fine so font support is not an issue.
I have also tried altering the level in the LoadMovieNum
script (0, 1, 2) as well as republishing both SWFs from the
original FLA file. So far zippo.
Any ideas??

At least on my side it only plays the first video and does not progress. There are twenty-five videos after this, they are all very short but they progress. Is this progressing for you? Perhaps it is my computer if so. Please let me know.
Thanks again,
Mark.

Flash video works onDreamweaver preview but not after uploaded to site

Hi,
I created a page with FW CS3 and opened it with Dream weaver.
Using Flash CS3 I created some video clips. I then inserted three
video files to the web page. In DW preview mode I can see the
videos. I copy the source code and pasted it to the index page of
my website as well as uploaded all the sit files from my hard drive
folder to the website. The page comes up but not the videos.

Search this forum for "FLASH" "UPLOAD". You'll find hundreds
of answers.

Videos play on iPad, but not on Apple TV

I can watch a video on my iPad, but when I use AirPlay to send it to my Apple TV and then to my TV, I just get the rotating circle on the TV screen.I should say that this does not happen with all videos, just a small number. Also, my AppleTV is hard wired to my home network.
Any suggestions?

Maybe he means the copy protection has not been removed. But what would explain the video plays on the iPad?
Basically, the difference would how AirPlay (and how your TV) handles copy protected material.

Cfmail - works locally but not when uploaded

Hi,
I'm using cfmail with form variables for the email addreses.
It's so users can send email to political candidates. Here's the
code:
<cfoutput>#Form.semails#</cfoutput>,<cfoutput>#Form.hemails#</cfoutput></p>
<cfmail to="#Form.semails#,#Form.hemails#"
replyto="#Form.useremail#" failto="[email protected]"
from="#Form.useremail#" subject="Keep Maine Toxin-Free!"
server="mail.nosuch.com" port="26" timeout="40"
username="[email protected]" password="nosuch">
#Form.usermessage#
</cfmail>
The form submit page collects those variables and passes them
as form variables - GET. The "to" field in cfmail is populated by
hidden fields that contain session variables... they're forwarded
on as those .semails and .hemails form variables. Actual values
have been replaced with "none" or "nosuch" for security, but you
can see the structure anyway.
This works when run locally, sends the emails as it should.
When uploaded exactly as is to godaddy's server, it doesn't send
emails. Doesn't throw any errors, the form results page displays as
it should... but the emails just never get sent.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...

Unfortunately all that can't be done by us users of these
shared hosting
outfits. You'll need to contact GoDaddy support and ask them
to take
these steps. I'm sorry about your probably experience with
this.
While I use GoDaddy for my personal hosting where I care more
about not
spending a great deal of money over high performance. I do
not wish my
support experiences on anybody. If you know ColdFusion well
and can
tell support what needs to be done, they should be able to do
it. Or,
more likely, you would be able to figure out the self help
tools to do
it yourself. But, unless this has changed since my last
experience,
their support staff is not ColdFusion literate and are unable
to guide
other, inexperienced ColdFusion users.
Saying all that. Email works just fine on my GoDaddy website
and I do
not believe I had to do anything special to use it.

Video plays in iTunes but not Apple TV.

I'm having trouble with playing movies on Apple TV. I had a video that I converted to mpeg4 format. 640x384, 1138kbps total bitrate, 23 frames/sec. I can play it in iTunes and in quicktime but not through Apple TV. It just perpetually loads...
I can play any of my music from the same home shared computer on my Apple TV with no noticeably loading time. The total file size of the movie is 785MB.
Does anyone know why this can't play on Apple TV and if there's something else I need to be doing?

Google and download Handbrake, and convert the video for AppleTV format. Not everything that plays in itunes or QT plays on AppleTV.
There are many variants of MPEG4 and parameters that can make AppleTV fail to play it. Best to convert to the h264 variant which Handbrake will do by default using the AppleTV preset (don't use preset 2 for a silver AppleTV 1).
Vieo specs for AppleTV are listed here:

Video plays in Dreamweaver but not on Website

I inserted flash (.flv) video clips in dreamweaver cs6 and when previewed in dreamweaver, works with all browsers (chrome, safari, and firefox). I uploaded the files to my website and none of the videos work. I've been troubleshooting this issue for several days and lhave not found a solution. I desperately need help.

I'm kind of surprised anything works. Among other things, you have no doc type declaration on the first line.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stjamesbaptistchurch.com%2Fte stsite%2Findex.htm
MM Rollover menus were/are a total train wreck. Adobe removed them from CS5 onwards.
As Murray already said, APDivs are pure poison in primary layouts, etc...
In short, this site could use a good re-build with modern, standards compliant code and an HTML5 video player.

Video plays on Macs but not on PCs

I have a short movie on our web site. It plays just fine on our iMac, and I checked it out on another Mac at the local Apple store. However, it does not play properly on PCs. The movie window shows up, but the screen stays white. The audio plays just fine, but no video. This sounds like a derivation of the same problem others were having, but ours does fine in Safari but not in Explorer. I've made a new page, and exported the movie to iWeb from iMovie, but it still did not help. This is a new iMac that we just bought 2 months ago. Everything else on the web site works fine. The url is web.mac.com/sullyman5 . Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I lived in the D.C. area for nearly fifty years (twelve of them on the Mayo peninsula). I miss my Chesapeake Bay.
Your iMovie QuickTime file uses the H.264 Video codec (default for exports from it) and it requires the viewing machine, Mac or PC to have QuickTime version 7 installed to view it.
