Working with flv anf f4v

We try to use FME to capture and stream video from different
kinds of sources. These streames are to be treated in different
ways. Sometimes they will be streamed via FMS live or/and on
demand, sometimes they will be made available for download. To
start with I want to use h.264 320x240 which should be viewable on
new phones and ipod. Idea is to provide a very simple way to
capture (and possibly live stream) video with the possibility to
enhance the recordings, if required.
I got a few questions:
1 - how can I edit flv and f4v files? Premiere CS3 won't
import them.
(I found the plugin from Moyea, but it only takes flv, not
f4v)
2 - f4v is supposed to be a mpeg4 container, but f.x
Quicktime can't open them. Does this have to do with the settings
for h.264? How can I use the h.264 video and mp3 (or AAC?) audio
without transcoding them
3 - how can I make FME ask the server to record a stream
(like NetStream.publish("astream", "record"))
Thanks for listening
Frank
PS: can the server record h.264 at all?

Some solutions I found so far
- the f4m files FME makes can contain h.264 video and mp3
audio which seems to be invalid for a mp4-container. Recording f4h
with h.264 only and renaming it to mp4 helps (not sure QT really
likes these files).
MainConcept (they deliver the h.264-codec for FME if I get
this right) sell an AAC-plugin for FME which seems to work (only
tried the demo so far; I remember a few QT-crashes though)
- super.exe from erightsoft seems to be able to open f4v and
to transcode mp3 to AAC while copying h.264
- MainConcept has a plugin for Adobe Premiere which can
import and export mp4 with h.264 and AAC (seems to have a problem
when the frame rate of the imported video is lower than the
projects frame rate). The plugin can also import mp2 with audio
from free dvd and some other formats
- MainConcept has a program called Reference with a lot of
demo-encoder which can open, trim and export f4v-files with h.264
and AAC. It comes with with several predefined profiles which seem
to work fx on iPod or Nokia E51

Working with .FLV files?

What program would you recommend for converting .FLV files to:
1. a format that can be edited in FCP?
2. H.264 QT files without degrading the quality?

.flv files are already highly compressed. If you take them, edit and then compress them again (this time to H.264) you will be double compressing the files which is a guaranteed way of degrading quality. The solution is not to start with .flv files. Get the original video files.
All that being said if you are simply turning .flv files into H.264 without editing, then you might be in luck. The latest version of FLV uses H.264 as the codec (previous versions used On2 or Sorenson). You can take H.264 videos and just change the file extension to .flv and they will work. So doing the reverse should also work, if they were encoded using H.264. If they used the older codecs, then you have to double compress the files.

However, the page is saying:

My links do not appear to be broken, I have checked them with Firebug / View Source. Has the javascript changed for Strobe 1.5?

Okay, I think I have it *partly* figured out. If I use the link from the example it works:

Does the video have to be online for it to work?

Group working with FLV-files

Hi,
For a couple of times now, I've wanted just to create the
FLV-file and send it to my co-workers for them to process it into a
SWF-file. I haven't been able to, though. Has anyone else succeeded
in doing this. I and my collagues have our own copies of Flash and
I've started to think that it is the problem because their Flash
won't import my FLV-files even though they are the same version
(8.0). I would like to be able to do this because then there
wouldn't have to be an SWF-file between my FLV-file and their
Flash-movie and they would have more control on the FLV-video.
My expertise is animation and theirs is web-design so it is
no use me doing the SWF-movies. On the other hand I don't want to
send them the original movie-file because it is several times
bigger than the FLV-file. It isn't reasonable
Thanks
-Hannu

Oops. curse you fingers. Too fast for your own good.
> For a couple of times now, I've wanted just to create

How are you trying to send the FLV files? This shouldn't
present any
problems at all.

H264 encoding settings - problems with FLV/F4V conversions and playback... HELP!!!

I do a lot of LIVE ENCODING and have been struggling with FMLE. I own the Adobe Creative Suite of applications and am pretty familiar with working with compatible/required formats, etc.
We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but sometimes it works...
Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe Media Player.
I keep hearing H264 encoding will provide better video, but I just can't get that to work. Also, why is it that my entire CS4 suite of applications can't read or playback the F4V file- that's unacceptable from Adobe, just a big huge pain the butt... I've had to buy several cheapie applications to try and read F4V files and try to convert it, except that converting F4Vs seems to be a hit-or-miss.
What should I be using to playback and convert F4Vs? I also heard changing the extension to MP4 works, but I haven't seen that work, not even once. The cheap video conversion apps I have that read F4Vs are: FFMPEGX and Wondershare (Youtube). Sometimes they open F4V, but not most of the time...
I am using a super fast new Macbook Pro i7, 8GB ram (not the thunderbolt/usb3), CPU always runs smoothly and effectively.
Also, I always use the Canopus ADVC-110 as my transcoder. I do both video via Firewire IN or Composite IN, then Firewire OUT into the Mac encoder. FMLE sees it ok, but I wonder if this device might be my problem.
VP6 settings are as follows:
VP6 video / MP3 audio
300 to 500k video
30 fps
640x480 in/out
44100hz audio
56k audio
We want to start using H264 encoding settings, but in my experience trying it out, the output file is ALWAYS PROBLEMATIC. Also, when testing a live stream, the audio seems to fall off sync with the video.
I am looking for your recommendations on the H264 settings I should try. Most of my events are simple meetings with 1 to 5 speakers, mostly talking heads. We rarely encode high motion video, but I would also like to be able to adjust H264 settings for both talking heads and medium to high motion without (any) frame drops.
I have tried streaming to multiple/different Flash Media Servers, archived only to file, and H264 results seem always bad.
Any recommendations from professionals in the live streaming arena are much appreciated. I thank you for your time in advance.
Thank you!
Hugo

Hello Hugo
Sorry to know that you are facing these kind of issues, let me try to reply and understand issues one by one.
>>We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but sometimes it works...
-- Which application you are using to convert FLV to other format?
-- Is these any Audio - Video sync issue when you play FLV file in Adobe Media Player? if NO, it means FLV file created properly.
>> Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe Media Player.
-- Which application you are using to convert FLV to MOV? if FLV playabck fine and without a/v sync issue, it should convert MOV with a/v sync.
-- It depend on audio codec selection by Media player or correct audio codec not installed for media player. Install appropriate audio codec to play in other media player if you dont want to play in Adobe Media Player.
>> I keep hearing H264 encoding will provide better video, but I just can't get that to work. Also, why is it that my entire CS4 suite of applications can't read or playback the F4V file- that's unacceptable from Adobe, just a big huge pain the butt...

-- Adobe Flash Media Server version 3.5 and later and Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 can record content in MPEG-4 (F4V) format using an industry-standard recording technology known as "fragments" or "moof atoms." Some MPEG-4 compatible tools and players do not support moof atoms.
The F4V Post Processor tool aggregates the information from all the moof atoms into a single moov atom and outputs a new file." You can download the tool from above location: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/tool_downloads/

Issues with depreciating FLV and F4V video formats from Adobe Media Encoder 2004

Hi Adobe
There are a couple of issues that have come to light with the removal of FLV support from AME 2004. Please can you provide answers to the following:
How do we set up/create Flash Que Points in video, now that the FLV format has been removed for AME 2004? - This is something I use a lot for adding dynamic text to video in Flash projects.
How do we export video with Alpha, without the FLV format, which can then be used in Flash? - This typically is used to overlay presenter to camera (on green screen) on flash animations or interactions etc.
More info on these issue on the following video forums:
Re: How do I use Flash Que Markers without the ability to export to FLV or F4V in Premiere Pro CC 2014?
Re: FLV export gone.. need alpha channel in video for Flash

I know this already - what worries me is going forward, there is no alternative to using these features. Adobe has basically made the new versions of their software unusable to me and other users looking to use 'Flash Que Points' or 'Alpha in video'. What Adobe should do is provide a modern alternative, before ditching these formats. - Doesn't really make any sense!
The other big question is, for how long will they provide access to the older versions????

Working with preloader and FLV files

I am able to get the Flash preloader working with say an image like JPG but when I attempt to have the preloader load a video it doesn't work. I read that in order to use a FLV file it needs to be embedded into a SWF file so preloader can work with it. One issue with embedding the FLV file into the SWF is the sound does not match up with video after that conversion which can kinda be fixed by changing the FPS.
Needless to say I have not been able to get this working correctly. I am not sure if there is a work around for this issue.
Thanks for all the help out there.

Here is my code
var imageURL:String = "vid12.SWF";
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(imageURL);
uiLoader.scaleContent = true;
uiLoader.load(request);
progressBar.source = uiLoader;
progressBar.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
progressBar.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
function progressHandler (event:ProgressEvent):void {
status_txt.text = int(event.currentTarget.percentComplete) + " %";
function completeHandler (event:Event):void {
progressBar.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progressHandler);
progressBar.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
removeChild(progressBar);
status_txt.text = "";

I have CC 2014 but need AME CC (pre 2014) in order to deliver FLV and F4V outputs - how can I download CC AME with FLV support?

You can install AME CC (7.2) by installing After Effects CC (12.2) through the Creative Cloud application.

Ca'nt ftp longer (i.e. 4 minutes) flv or f4v files (get error message "waiting for server") I

when I ftp(i.e. "put" or "upload) short flv or f4v files using dreamweaver cs4 the files upload easily and quickly. However, when I try to ftp ("put" or "upload" ) longer (i.e. 4 minutes or longer) flv or f4v files it goes through the ftp process (seeing it in background activity screen) but at the end I always get a message "waiting on server" and the longer files don't get onto hosting server. Is there a setting I need to change or other method I need to use). I have worked with my hosting support tech person but we could not solve this problem.

I'd suggest that you try using a dedicated FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP.
http://filezilla-project.org/
Those programs give you much more feedback on what's happening as you attempt to upload files, including error messages, etc.
There is really no difference between uploading large files and small files, the process on the server is exactly the same..UNLESS there are limits to file size or video duration set by your host. So dispite the fact that you have worked with your host support, I'd still say that the problem is server side or being limited by your Internet service provider... unless the video files you are attempting to upload are corrupted.
You didn't say if any portion of the larger video files were uploaded...and FTP program will show you whether or not ANY of the file was uploaded and at what point it stopped. You also didn't mention how large the video files where.... sort of where the "tipping point" is in file size (video duration of course is no measure of file size).
Just to reassure you, the file size of a video file will have no bearing on your ability to FTP unless your host or ISP is limiting you in some way.
I regularly Live stream events and also record them. An 8 hr event will produce roughly 1.5GB of compressed video. I use SmartFTP, with a reputable host and can upload the entire set of 1.5GB of video files (each about 50MB) over a 1000kbps upload connection without problem. Recently during a movie production project, we uploaded a number of single video file which each where over 1GB a piece.
So there is really no problem uploading video files unless there are restriction on you account from the host or the ISP.
Best wishes,

Sync when compressing HD FLV and F4V in Premiere Pro CS4

Hi. I'm trying to create PSAs for You Tube that were originally created with a small camera that produced HD Quicktime files. For YouTube they don't have to be perfect but that is what I'm working with. My computer only has 4gb of ram so I can't watch the video to test for syncronization since it just gives a slide show while editing. It never does anything but a slide show with HD video.
When I watch the original unedited Quicktime file the sync was way off. When I render out the original file in an FLV and F4V format just to test the sync it is PERFECT. Then I edited the first video taken from that session and used FLV and the sync was PERFECT. So I'm doing the second video, tested sync on the original footage, and its PERFECT.
So I thought it was okay to keep going. Everything was perfect after Premiere rendered the raw footage. The first video worked, right? The second video's raw footage sync was fixed, right?
Now that I spent all the time to edit the 2nd video, sync is TERRIBLE. I have no idea why. F4V was worse than FLV, but neither was great for video 2. So I guess I have two questions:
1) What format can I use to upload to YouTube that won't give me an unusable sync problem
2) Is there something I can do to see continuous synchronization within Premiere Pro CS4 without updating my hardware? I am using Vista 64 bit, 4gb ram, dual core intel. Do I have to make a major hardware upgrade just to get HD video not to be a slide show while running Premiere?
Thanks!

Dave,
Deleted all stuff...
You might try this "TEST" at some point if you're using equipment to record sound as outlined in the following article....at any rate you might find the article interesting anyway for the future...
----------------------sorry I should give credit to who wrote it but you can google the first line and find it maybe -----------
sync demuxed sound The Problem -
Miniature audio recorders, be they minidisc or solid state, offer a very attractive, cost effective, alternative to the traditional use of radio microphones, for the capture of remote audio sources in video recordings
These machines record the audio in a variety of different formats - MP3, WMA, WAV, ATRAC -- and in a variety of qualities - but they all suffer from the same problem. It can be difficult to synchronise the remotely recorded audio, with the camera recorded audio.
Although the time honoured tradition of an audio 'clapper board' works well enough to align the beginning of the two soundtracks, there is a tendency for the two tracks to appear to 'drift' out of sync over time - and the longer the recording, the worse the problem. In fact they do not actually 'drift', but the gradual loss of sync is a function of the camera and audio recorder sample clocks being slightly different frequencies.
The simple reason for this loss of 'sync' therefore is that the audio is being recorded at different speeds. Although the recorder will specify the sampling frequency, the accuracy is then dependent on the internal crystal oscillator of the recorder - which is, of course, a different oscillator from the one controlling the camera timing. Although these crystals may typically be accurate to within 0.005% or better, even this degree of accuracy can cause the two recorded audio tracks to be out of sync by up to 300mS after 30 minutes. Even after 5 minutes, the 2 tracks can be some 60mS different in length, in a worst case scenario.
60mS difference will cause a distinctly audible 'echo' between the two audio tracks. (Even 20mS is detectable as a separate echo).
This difference is of course totally unacceptable, and corrections need to be applied. It is important to remember that even if your audio recorder crystal is absolutely accurate, and it is the camera clock that is slightly wrong, it is still the remote audio track that will have to be corrected. The 'wrong' camera audio track is the one in sync with the video, and has to be the 'master' track.
The Solution
It is important to realise that although the sample oscillators may vary with regard to each other, they tend to be remarkably accurate over time, referenced to themselves.
This means that if you know by how much the frequency your audio recorder sample 'clock' differs from the camera 'clock', then a single correction factor will bring both tracks back into sync.
A simple procedure is outlined below, using free programs, to enable you to calculate the correction factor required for your particular recorder.
Programs required (all free):
1) AoA audio Extractor --- (not necessary if you can extract the audio track from a video recording in your NLE)
2) Audacity , a free audio editor
3) Switch , a free audio file type converter
Step 1: Set up your camera and audio recorder next to each other, and start both running
Step 2: Make a good audio 'clapperboard' point by tapping a pencil firmly onto a hard surface, as close to both camera and recorder mics as possible. This will cause a fast 'edge' to become the reference point, which will be useful later.
Step3: Let both devices run for at least 10 minutes. 20 minutes are better, but not essential.
At the end of the period, (timing not critical), make a second similar 'clapperboard' reference point. Allow a few more seconds recording, and then stop both devices.
Step 4: Download the video from the camera, and the audio from the recorder to your computer.
Step 5: Open the video file in 'AoA audio Extractor', and extract the audio from the video. Convert this audio file (if necessary) to a 48KHz 16 bit LPCM (wav) file, using the 'Switch' program linked to above. This file will be your reference audio file.
Step 6: Open the WAV file saved in the previous step in 'Audacity' - a free audio editor.
It is now necessary to save only the part of the file between the two 'clapperboard' references, which hopefully stand out clearly (if you hit the pencil hard enough in steps 2 and 3!).
This must be done accurately, to within 100th of a second, or better.
Click and drag the file to highlight the beginning section, including the first 'clapperboard' waveform. Use the 'fit selection to window' tool (immediately to the right of the 'zoom' tools) to magnify. Delete as much as possible before the 'clapper' reference. Repeat the operation until you can clearly identify the first distinct waveform of the 'clapper' reference waveform. Click, hold and place the cursor directly over the first full (clipped) waveform, where it crosses the centre line. Delete every thing to the left of that point, by clicking and dragging to highlight, and then deleting with the scissors tool.
Step 7: Repeat the above procedure for the end part of the waveform, again using the start of the second 'clapper' waveform as your reference cutting point. In this case, cut everything to the right of your selected reference point (not the left, as in the first case.)
Step 8: It is necessary to record the exact length of this new cropped waveform. This information is listed at the bottom of the window, but in a rather inappropriate format. Locate the toolbar at the top of the window, click 'Edit'-'select all' and then 'Effects'-'change tempo' . Note the length of the file in seconds in the right hand box (the left hand box is greyed out).
Record this figure. It is the reference file length
Step 9: It is necessary to convert the file recorded on the audio recorder into an identical format to the camera audio track, namely 48 KHz 16 bit PCM. If the track is not already in this format, open it in Switch, a free file transfer program, and select the output encoding as 48 KHz 16 bit, mono or stereo to fit your audio file. This program will then convert whatever format your input file is (MP3, WMA, 44.1 KHz PCM, etc) into the required 48 KHz, 16 bit format required.
Step 10: Repeat the procedures in steps 6 and 7 for this new file. Edit the 'clapper' points with as much accuracy as before, but notice that the 'clapper' waveform will appear different from the first, although hopefully with as clearly defined first ' zero crossing' point.
Step 11: Repeat the procedure in step 8, and you will notice that the overall file length is different.
Overwrite the original file length into the right hand box, and take careful note of the resulting figure in the percent change box. Make sure you record whether it is a plus or minus value - it could be either! This is the most important figure, because it represents the percentage variation between the two units.
Once you have obtained this value, simply apply it to all files recorded with the same recorder and this camera. Providing you can align the start of the file with a single 'clapperboard' mark, there is no need to repeat the rest. Simply change the length of the external audio file by the correct percentage value, to allow the two audio tracks to remain synchronised.
It may seem a long winded process, but it only needs to be done once, and could then save quite a lot of time, against the option of trying to align tracks manually in your NLE, in small sections.
You may of course wish to use an alternative audio editor, and the details of this procedure may then be slightly different, but the principle remains the same.

How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats

How to convert FLV and F4V files to other media formats
Nowadays, every one can download their favorite videos from video sharing websites like YouTube, Hulu, MySpace, Google Video, metacafe, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com and so on at will. However, these video files we got are usually in the format of FLV, or F4V, which are not workable by most portable devices, or some video players and video editors on our PC.

Apache not working with FMS 4.5 on Windows 2008

FMS 4.5.1 Windows 2008 SP2 (64bit).
I've searched everywhere for a possible solution to this, so my apologies if this has been asked before and my thanks for any potential help that anyone can offer to help resolve this.
We are deploying Adobe Flash Media Server 4.5.1 on a new server but Apache does not work (does not serve html files or stream Quicktime H.264 files).
      Assorted Problems & Error messages:

Apache does not serve Quicktime/H.264 files: I made sure that Apache had all of the correct mime types specified.
    Error messages and attempted solutions:
Apache's erro_log file:
       a. httpd.exe: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
2. FMS master.log file
      a. FMSHttpd -k start returned 1:
Solutions: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/CouldNotDetermineServerName
1a: Edited httpd.conf file to include ServerName 63.116.232.5
1b: The presence of this error message also indicates that Apache httpd was unable to obtain a fully-qualified hostname by doing a reverse lookup on your server's IP address.
In order for the server to accept external connections a reverse DNS lookup needs to be created. I created a reverse DNS lookup and edited the /etc/hosts file to include the IPaddress, Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), shortname.
This is the format suggested by the article:
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost       foo.example.com
Running the nbtstat -a 63.116.232.5 command on the machine results in the following:
WIN-8AIHI2J0524<00> UNIQUE      Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<00> GROUP       Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<1C> GROUP       Registered
WIN-8AIHI2J0524<20> UNIQUE      Registered
THS-LIBRARY-VOD<1B> UNIQUE      Registered
So the FQDN = WIN-8AIHI2J0524.Ths-library-vod.local
I edited the /etc/hosts to the following (with versions using the local host ip 127.0.0.1 and the external ip address, IPv4 is being used):
63.116.232.5 WIN-8AIHI2J0524.Ths-library-vod.local
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I've also read Adobe's port configuration articles and changed the ports that Apache and FMS use as specified in the conf/fms.ini file, but nothing has worked so far. I restored everything to the original settings until I can find out exactly how to fix this.
Thank you.

Ms. Apurva ,
I changed the files back as you suggested (the failure was occuring with the default settings) and our admin assured me yesterday that the ports that I inquired about were open. I'll ask him again.
The telenet command for both ports 80 and 1935 result in Connect failed for me. I'll check Windows Firewall (turned off) and McAfee to see if there is anything there blocking ports.
Confirm that external connections are blocked: 63.116.232.5/index.html (does not open outside of localhost). No problem accessing with our old server (63.116.232.6/index.html).
I ran this command in nmap and here are the results (11 ports closed): nmap 63.116.232.5 -Pn80
Starting Nmap 6.01 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2012-07-06 08:29 Eastern Standard Time

Hello Alex,
I don't have an answer for you.
But, can you try to use http://drmtest2.adobe.com:8080/Content/anonymous.f4v with locally hosted OSMF player? This content doens't require user/pass info.
I'm wondering that Google TV's flash player doesn't support prompt dialog.
http://drmtest2.adobe.com/AccessPlayer/player.html requires flash player 11. That's why it won't be loaded with flash player 10.x.
Thanks,
-- Hiroshi

Using subtitle SRT files with FLV files

Pretty much the way the summary states. Needs to embed srt
files with flv files in actionscript. Anyone know how?

Ouw-wee! Photoshop 2 on System 6?
Do you have the files transferred to newer media or are they still on the System 6 Mac?
If they are still on the old Mac your options are limited, only diskettes worked on the old machines and SCSI hasn't been available on Macs in years..
Since Photoshop didn't have layers until PS 3.0, even if you get them open, they are single layers only.
Do you happen to know the file format they were saved as?
Good Luck!
