FLV conversion

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

After testing many programs, I have found that Quicktime Pro is the best flv conversion software when converting video files into .flv files (flash video files).

Go to File >> Export >> then select flash video from the dropdown menu

Flowplayer looping issue

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

In Firefox, Flowplayer does not like to stop looping even though autorewind is set to false. In order to fix it, you need to add a second clip to the playlist which is just a blank image (ie. blank.jpg or blank.gif. As you can see below after clip 1 we added a comma and then clip 2, and the video stops. It still shows the loading sign even though it’s not loading anything but that is something we can’t avoid.

Actual script we have working on the site is below

<script type=“text/javascript”>
// <![CDATA[
var fo = new
SWFObject("http://spidadesign.com/NEW/exit9films.com/pages/swf/FlowPlayerDark.swf",
"FlowPlayer", "367", "260", "7", "#ffffff", true);
fo.addParam("allowScriptAccess", "always");
fo.addVariable("config", "{ countryCode: 'fi', playList: [ {overlayId: 'play' },
{ url: 'http://spidadesign.com/NEW/exit9films.com/videos/video_5_1203959960.flv' },
{url: 'images/space.gif', duration: 1} ], initialScale: 'scale', autoRewind: 'false',
fullScreenScriptURL: 'http://spidadesign.com/NEW/exit9films.com/pages/swf/fullscreen.js' }");

fo.write("player");
