DMeeks -> Display MPEG4 Files (12/29/2007 15:50:50)

Hi!

Using FrontPage 2003 I've been able to link and play WMV files without any problem but I'm unable to do the same with MPEG4 formated video files.

Is there an easy way to do this with Expressions or FrontPage?

Thanks...Dan

There are a few ways to embed the file - some correct (some not).

Media College offers a few different variations.

Good site Corry. Here's the link for the MPEG4 video.

You will need Quicktime to view this. Unfortunately my version of Quicktime was unable to play the sample shown on that web site.

I would suggest not to use MPEG4 files to integrate in the web page. There are to many formats out there where you need a specific viewer to see what you have. IMHO the best way is converting to SWF and use "swfobject" to embed the file.

Thanks Jurgen...

I think you're right. I appreciate the advice.

If it is just a couple of file - let me know. I usually try to convert all my media as well to Flash and would be happy to convert a few files. If it is a lot, check out Flash Video MX. I have the 3.5 version but I think it supports that. They have a newer version which probably warrants an update soon.

I will say also their customer service is great. When I went through and reinstalled one system - I could not find the registration information. I emailed them and they replied in less than an hour. (I was hoping for a reply in a day.)

Hi Corey...

Thanks so much for the offer. There are 45 files so I won't burden you with that! [:)]

I'll check out the Flash Video MX. I have MX Suite which may include it. Adding WMV files are so easy I was hoping it would be as easy with MPEG. I'm sure I'm going to need to be more skilled in this in the future so its time to make the Flash leap!

Thanks again! .... Dan

I am using FFMPEG. Flash movies are in general smaller as well.



coreybryant -> RE: Display MPEG4 Files (12/30/2007 13:40:51)

From memory, Flash Video MX offers a batch feature. Here is a general idea of what it can do the 405 movie. (I think I coded that for IE abour a year ago or so.)

There are ways that you can embed the MPEG into SWF as well but that might not convert the MPEG over. (Flashkit for that one :) )

I have Creative Suite 3 web standard and it comes with a very nice flash video encoder. Knocks the file size down to 1/3rd of its previous size and you don't lose and quality.

Hi Rich....

The orginial question was about converting MPEG4 to WMV. Does Creative Suite 3 do that?

Thanks...Dan

SUPER does and it's free.
