It seems like I've been able to do it in Vegas before, but now that my computer's crashed and I had to re-install, I cannot save in the SWF or FLV format.  I just want something handy where the user does not have to install software (or wait through long buffers).</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Is there anything free that will convert DV-AVI to SWF?</strong> <em>(p.s.

Yeah, solid-state cards are great since you don't have to digitize the footage but when they fill up you have to take time to download them or buy a buttload of cards which can get expensive. </p> <p>Videographer Paul Joy's video review of Nexto's latest answer to this problem answered a lot of my questions about the rig and as I move further into a solid-state workflow, I see this on my list of future purchases.</p> <p><a href="http://vimeo.com/9454378">NEXTO DI NVS2500 Video Review</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/pauljoy">Paul Joy</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com">Vimeo</a>.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/streaming-playback-issue-sound-wont-play-through-pc-speakers#post-50801 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:10:59 +0000 sswiller 50801@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am editing videos using Final Cut Pro v6, exporting them with video at 48KHZ, then transcoding them to flash using Squeeze; the audio is uncompressed. For some strange reason, when the videos are viewed on PCs, the sound doesn't play out of the PC Speaker. It only plays when you connect headphones or external speakers to the headphone jack. I can't figure out why. One thing I've noticed is that when I change the audio panning in FCP to '0,' I get no sound at all. Thanks for your advice.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/how-to-do-streaming-video#post-52702 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 10:12:44 +0000 Anonymous 52702@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I video a weekly program in the retirement community where I live. The programs are over an hour in length. After minimal editing in Premier Elements 7, I make a flash file (highest quality) and post it on our website. We host the videos on Hostmonster (unlimited bandwith and size) We are getting progressive video, which can be jerky and stop and go, depending on the viewers broadband and computer speeds. I have heard about streaming video, which adjusts the video feed to the users capacity. Anyone know what this is, and how to go about using it?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/i-need-advice-on-rendering-compression#post-51425 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:32:24 +0000 mindy 51425@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have an mpeg file. I trimmed it, cropped it and keep trying to export it out with horrible results. The original video is so sharp and clear, but I only get that result in an export if I have no compression., The original mpeg is like 80mb, the export to reproduce that sharp look of an avi is like 300mb.  What compression can I use on a file that was an mpeg that will give me the same sharp results? I have done a lot of experimenting and nothing I select seems to work.</p> <p>Is there a selection I can make to just save the video file at its original defaults? I can't afford ANY quality loss because I am importing this into flash. The old file imports into a lovely sharp image, whereas these almost but not quite the same quality other video files leave my footage fuzzy.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks so much for the help!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/dvx100b-or-vixia-hf100-to-hd-or-not-to-hd-that-is-the-question#post-46561 Thu, 07 May 2009 19:38:56 +0000 thinkbeinteresting 46561@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I'm a video production student as well as a news intern.  The news station has told me to buy a camera and start putting together my own packages.  I have dreams of shooting a documentary, but I could also possibly get hired by the station.  I'm currently training with their shooters as well as in writing/producing.  I ended up buying a new dvx100b for $2000 total (we use the original dvx100 at school and I'm familiar with it) but immediately had buyer's remorse.  I've heard so many professional opinions I don't know which way to turn.  Here's the gist:</p> <p>1. ME: I'm familiar with the DVX line, like it and it has a good rep (plus I won't deny it looks professional)  I would like manual control and XLR inputs but would put up with an audio input used in consumer lines (guessing 1/8 inch)</p> <p>2. Teacher 1 opinion: "DVX100b is a great camera and HD is changing fast. wait and save for HD."</p> <p>3. Teacher 2 opinion: "buy a cheaper HD camera and rent a fancy cam when you get hired for gigs - it's all about framing anyway."</p> <p>4. Stringers use even cheaper canon HD's and their video makes the news</p> <p>5. opinion 5:"Everyone wants HD, no one will pay for your lame-o SD...SD is over."</p> <p>6. Opinion 6: "DV tapes take too long to ingest."</p> <p>7. Teacher 1: "Data/video saved to a Hard Drive and not backed up can be lost."</p> <p>8. My opinion: one caveat to the dvx is that I would also like to shoot climbing videos on the side and a smaller camera is better for that - though this is a minor side project.  Ideally I would like to shoot a short doc for KQED - that sort of thing, plus packages for news.</p> <p>So, should i return the DVX100B, save my money, get a consumer cam? </p> <p>Anyone got a better recommendation than the VIXIA? </p> <p>I'm planning on getting a tripod, mic, etc. no matter what camera I choose. I would really appreciate some guidance, and yes - I'm looking to make money with this camera.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/another-minidv-vs-flash-or-dvd-r#post-42424 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 13:11:54 +0000 yshreberk 42424@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hello<br /> I want to buy my first Camcorder and i'm confused. i need a simle camera at about 500$. no special requirements. i dont need a super-high quality of films, just for family shootage.</p> <p>I heard about the miniDV format, which intorduces the best quality but is complicated to convert the file to a watchable DVD on the TV (or connect to a PC). On the other hand i know the flash cameras are gaining poularity because the simplicity, although i've head that the quality is not as good as mini-DV. I don't know how bad is it, or is it noticeable for home-footage.<br /> I also heard about camcoders with mini-DVDR, and might consider this type too.</p> <p>I'm mainly thinking about 2 models: SONY DCRHC51E (miniDV) or CANON FSA100 (flash)</p> <p>Can anyone reccomend me which technology is better for my needs?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/video-quality-3#post-41307 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 18:41:38 +0000 RockstarRider 41307@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>So right now I have a Panasonic VDR-210 which is a miniDVD camcorder.

We have created a educational website for Mortgage Professionals, so they should have a fair to decent computer and internet speeds, We are going to make quite a few of them, 40+, most will be 2-3 minuted long, talking heads, low motion and screen capture, with a few larger 6-9 minutes with few more effects, but nothing high motion.

Would it be better to set up the Premiere file at the ratio we are going to export it at i.e. base video 720x480 to, premiere file 320x480- export 320x480, or is it better to make the premiere file the same as the source and export to the smaller?<br /> Format :FLV<br /> On2 Vp6<br /> 480x360<br /> 29.97<br /> Bit rate 512<br /> Deinterlaced</p> <p>Challenges<br /> 1.  One of the problems is that the some of the videos, play all the way through, and some stop inexplicably and some play all the way through:<br /> One that stops is<br /> - For an example of a smaller video go Gratitude, then Gratitude Opening<br /> One that plays all the way through<br /> - For an example of a smaller video go Gratitude, then Mortgage Market Guide<br /> We cannot tell if this is a problem with the source or the video player, we play the source files in real player, and flash and they play all the way through, yet we cannot discover any settings in the player that solve the problem of the stopping.<br /> 2.  The larger video stops playing inexplicably at minute 5:57 of 9:37:<br /> Again it plays all the way through in Real player &amp; Flash</p> <p> In Deep Gratitude,</p> <p>Joshua Tree </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/ulead-workdshop-2-flash-movie-dvd-problems#post-39732 Sat, 30 Aug 2008 01:47:40 +0000 WolfRandolph 39732@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>1. I have a registered copy of Ulead Workshop 2 and I think it is not working quite right, called Ulead/Corel, who say they no longer support the product. I had to uninstall Ulead Workshop a while back and it keeps asking me to register it even though it is. So, here I am. I have created a 5 minute Flash movie that I am converting to AVI and then burning onto DVD to play on TV. At this time it seems I have to burn two seperate files as only the menu movie will loop and not the intro. That's the first problem. Second problem is when setting the loop it is supposed to play up to a 254 minute movie and loop over again but it stops at 4 minutes 14 secs. I have tried to reset over and over but it is stuck at 4 minutes 14 seconds.</p> <p>2. What is the best method and codec to convert Flash file to AVI to DVD with the highest resolution possible? When I create the Flash Movie file and then using MiniRiver's Flash to AVI converter it looks great on the computer, but once I burn it to DVD the resolution really sucks and the file is only about 100 meg so there is plenty of room left. I think it is being rerendered in the burn. I am trying to achieve near broadcast quality. I tried uncompressed but the file is then over 4 gig.</p> <p>Any help and suggestions would be so appreciated. Also any ideas to create the best quality Flash video without using 29 different programs would be welcome as Flash has some nice text/object FX but not great transitions.</p> <p>My system is a Dell 8300 P4 2 gig ram, IDE drive and two SATA 200+ Drives, ATI x150 video card.</p> <p>Thanks so much, Wolf</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/flash-killed-the-video-editor#post-35934 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 14:38:55 +0000 CVP 35934@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Just recently, I had finally caught up with projects and had a little extra time on my hands.  So, I decided, it was time to expand my limited expertise on using Flash and creating some stock stuff for the 'ol video inventory.   Ya know, simple wipes, the corny floating hearts, and the what nots that I may or may not use in the future.   After getting a few Flash movies saved and ready to test in the video editor, I was blind sided by Flash Movie Player version 9.</p> <p>My editor(s) only worked with Flash 6 or 7.   It seems a BUNCH of editors are affected by this.   So far, I found that Sony Vegas, ALL Ulead editors and Pinnacle affected.</p> <p>Anybody else affected?</p>
