problem viewing flash on website made with Flixpro

[ricardo.santos]

Hi everyone.

Im using Flixpro to convert some home videos to flash for a website, the problem is that whenever i put a new video in the website and then view it, the connection speed goes up for about a minute or two(maybe preloading theclip???) but i remember not checking the "preload" option in Flixpro.

Does anyone know what im doing wrong?

Ps: if i view thw clip 2nd time or refreswh the page afterwords the connection speed doesnt increase.

I'd say it has nothing to do with the way you've encoded your videos to flash swf/flv... it should be a matter of your ISP

just to test alternatives... give RIVA (http://rivavx.de/?encoder) a try - it is a free (ffmpeg based) FLV Encoder. Encode your videos using RIVA, upload them and see what happens - I'd say nothing changes 'cause it is your ISP

thanks for the info sillKotscha.

I have a website where i have wmv videos and when i load the video page, it loads quick, i mean nothing is being downloaded the video only starts to play when i press play button.

with the swf flash format the page "hangs" like something is being downloaded, when i add new videos and i load the page for the first time i can "see" that traffic is being consumed (bottom right corner), just wondering if anyone knows how to setup swf files so that nothing is downloaded untill play button is pressed.

i tried flv files but they dont show up.

i tried flv files but they dont show up

strange...

what do you mean by "they don't show up" ?

what kind of flash video player do you use?? I'd suggest you to use this nice player here...

FLASH VIDEO PLAYER 2.4 (http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=Flash_Video_Player)

how do you embed your files?

see my example (http://www.kotscha.de/doom9.html), maybe it is of any help for you...

if you've pressed the play button of your player the file gets downloaded in your cache - hence you see the traffic.

This is the code i use to embed the swf files i produced:

<object codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" height="390" width="520" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"><param name="_cx" value="13758"><param name="_cy" value="10319"><param name="FlashVars" value=""><param name="Movie" value="http://videourl.swf"><param name="Src" value="http://videourl.swf"><param name="WMode" value="Window"><param name="Play" value="0"><param name="Loop" value="-1"><param name="Quality" value="High"><param name="SAlign" value=""><param name="Menu" value="-1"><param name="Base" value=""><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value=""><param name="Scale" value="ShowAll"><param name="DeviceFont" value="0"><param name="EmbedMovie" value="0"><param name="BGColor" value="000000"><param name="SWRemote" value=""><param name="MovieData" value=""><param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1"><param name="Profile" value="0"><param name="ProfileAddress" value=""><param name="ProfilePort" value="0"> </object>

The example you suplied works with flv files, thanks

if you've pressed the play button of your player the file gets downloaded in your cache - hence you see the traffic

The thing is that i dont press the play button and i see the traffic, maybe the code above will help you see what im doing wrong thanks
