Flash with high quality video (MP4 with H264 video and AAC audio)

[Captain Satellite]

Never mind, I got it. I am dumb beyond belief!

I think the pseudo streaming (where video displays while downloading) is encoder specific...

Nope. It's just some info in the mp4 header(so called hinting). If it doesn't start stream automatically you can easily fix it using mp4box, mp4box -hint videofile.mp4 .

Captain Satellite: Just put your code between [code]code[/code] and it should display.

Thanks man...

I just read to use -isma for mp4box

Try the easy to use GUI http://www.datagoround.com/lab/
It's handled everything I've thrown at it unlike the others...

[zoobie]

Actually, Xvid4PSP comes with mp4box...that's why it progressively streamed...Avidemux not so or at least I didn't see a fast-start option...don't know about StaxRip & Ripbot264
Also noteworthy is that moving the metadata to the front seems to be mp4 specific...doesn't work on mov, wmv, flv...

Baldrick, thanks from a forum newbie for this guide. It works great! Kudos.

Is there a way to place an opening image on the player to avoid having visitors see an initial black screen?

[Baldrick]

Yep, just add the "&=image.jpg" to the flashvars like

s1.addParam('flashvars','file=video.mp4&stretching=fill&image=screenshot.jpg');

Thanks for that tip. Much easier than using Flash MX.

I most do something very very wrong here.
I have create a movie (slideshow) with sound in vegas.
I create a HD movie (m2t) and I open Xvid4PSP and you the guide.
I like to have big movie and good quality so I have a bitrate of 1500 so my movie that is 1280x592 is a little over 50 mb in mp4.

I can play it local and it show very very nice.

I upload it with the flash but nothing happend, the flash just loading and loading.

I have try with mp4box, and I have try with Yamb (with mp4box) and I have try with MP4 faststart and nothing change.

I did try to upload the movie that have been create in this guide and it start play instant so my webserver can stream a mp4 file.

I have search everywhere but never find any idea that work.

I have no idea what more I can do?

My video and audio are out of sync after encoding. What would cause this? I followed the guide as close as possible. Thanks for any help.

Hello,

when I click to get the player.swf, I get that horrible and annoying page "http://jeroenwijering.com/?abd946cf35380c615c4d9a37e627d2f8=325467165&6fa970d50480e816942b6fab7c4e7a23=506683626&5f17a83ba43604eb3d1c06f73d82e119=63389980066850793 6"

and I am at a loss.

Please, where to get that player thing without ridiculous ads?

You can try another flash player like flowplayer, http://flowplayer.org/download/index.html

I was wondering if I could choose AAC-LC ABR instead of the recommended AAC-HE CBR or will that screw with the 'streaming' settings of the mp4 off a webpage?

My video and audio are out of sync after encoding. What would cause this? I followed the guide as close as possible. Thanks for any help.

Did you actually try it through the flash player on a webpage, because mine is kinda out of sync on my computer (with VLC, WMP with FFmpeg, and quicktime) but when I play it with a flash player off a webpage it plays in sync. Strange.

[tat2jr1]

BTW- Here's a free flash player that allows commercial use! Hard to find. A bit different then the other solutions. I use the iframe method for multiple videos on a single page.

I got the video to play great from my site. Problem is, it only plays the first 50 seconds then stops. I see the bar at the botom fully loaded so it's not a buffering problem though it acts like one. I even restarted my compter but it still stops after exactly 50 seconds. I am using the JW Flv player. Could this be the problem?

[ckaplan]

I can see everything else, but not the code. Help!

Just noticed it's fixed thank you, thank you.
