What would be the best format to post a 30 second videon on our web site?
One that can be viewed by the largest percentage of viewers.

Thanks,
Terry
 
Paul M,

I was interested in converting a video file (.mov) into Flash and downloaded
Turbine Video Emcoder, but try as I might I can't get it to work. I just get
a black screen, with audio

Has anyone succeeded and can they guide me through the process?
 
Carefully read the help files which are pretty straight forward
- Most obvious error is not setting your Time and Duration to the length of the movie

Thanks, Stefan

The Help states
------
Turbine currently supports the following video file formats:
QuickTime - Apple's widespread video format
....
After a successful open, a frame of the video will appear on the Timeline area
-----

I opened a file in .mov format and no frame appeared
The parameters I set were
Time: 25.79 secs (I tried 25.80 but it reset to 25.79)
Start: 0.0 secs
Duration: 25.80 secs (This was set when I opened the file)

I clicked Encode and it appeared to work, giving details such as
Avg Rate: 193.0 kbps
File Size: 607.7 KB

When I clicked Play, I only got sound no video.
 
Hi to all,

I have now found an encoder called (Riva FLV Encoder) which creates .flv movies from a .mov file.

It seems to work but when I play it back with the supplied viewer it plays clips at 1 second intervals. I think it is meant to be a previewer only

How do I play this from my Website. I have Macromedia Flash PLayer installed (as do 98% of sites according to the stats one reads)

I have this code but it doesn't work
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
id="Carole and Tammy" width=400 height=600
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0">
<param name=movie value="images/carole-and-tammy.swf">
<param name=play value=true>
<param name=loop value=false>
<param name=menu value=false>
<param name=quality value=Autohigh>
<param name=scale value=noborder>
<param name=align value=center>
<embed src="images/carole-and-tammy.flv" quality=Autohigh
width=400 height=600 scale=noborder
align=center swLiveConnect=false
name=Carole and Tammy loop=false play=true menu=false
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer">
</embed>
</object>

Any ideas?
