Re: [Flashcoders] h264 video looks blurry/crappy in flash

2008-10-29 Thread Søren Christensen



the aspect is 1:1
If i playback a flv (on2 VP6) everything looks as it should.
I even tried some videos from apple.com/trailes - at first i thought  
they where played back perfectly. But after a few replays i could see  
some enhanced compression artifacts especiallly in the reds compared  
to when playing them back in the quicktime player. But they wasnt as  
blurry as my h264.
I tried using a .mov wrapper instead of mp4. Same result. Which make  
me start to think it could be my encodign software...
Anyway i will make some extra tests to try and find a bit more head  
and tails in the matters.

Hey All

Has anybody experieced h264 video being more crappy when played  
through flash instead of i.e. the quicktime player


If you compare these two:

In flash
http://agentzoo.dk/temp/videotests/?file=mp4/ 
bancpost720_16-9.mp4w=702h=394


the file directly:
http://agentzoo.dk/temp/videotests/mp4/bancpost720_16-9.mp4

You will see a big quality differece -
Notice how blurry the video and subtitles looks and how compressed  
the text and logo looks in flash.



The video has carefully been compressed in episode with flash  
compatible settings...

Subject: [Flashcoders] Localization issue with XML

Hey Flashcoders,

I'm having an issue with special characters not showing up from other
languages, such as German (ü, ö, etc.).  The issue is specifically  
with

text
loaded in from XML.

The textfields are set to embed all latin glyphs (1076 glyphs,  
Uppercase,

Lowercase, Numerals, Punctuation, Latin I, Latin Extended A, Latin
Extended
B, and Latin Extended Add'l).

All text is wrapped in CDATA tags.

I've tried saving the xml file with 8 bit and UTF-8 encoding and  
neither

works.

XML header is
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8 ?

If I set the text of the textfield with Actionscript to a string with
those
characters in it, no problem, they all show up just fine.

// This works
txt.htmlText = wofür benötigen;

However, when I display it from the XML, they show up as regular o  
and u

characters.

// Does not work
item![CDATA[wofür benötigen]]/item

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steven

Re: [Flashcoders] Anyone hate flash 9 already?

2007-02-14 Thread Søren Christensen

I skipped that :/ habit with the transition to flash 5 back then.

But sometimes between bigger projects, flash banner campaigns lands on my
table and for the most part they need to be compiled in flash 6 format.

But after some testing it is not limited to flash 6 but is also 7 and 8
exported as AS2.
Though it seems to be a osx intel issue only.

Just pretty weird that the the fp8 inside flash 8 via rosetta  is performing
better than the native fp9

Some as3 examples i have seen here and there performs rather bad as well -
anything less than around 60 fps or the elements move with very jerky
motion, movements that would have been smooth with max 30fps in fp8- (it is
not a cpu/ram issue - the workstation is loaded)

Cheers

Re: [Flashcoders] Anyone hate flash 9 already?

Now speaking about flash 9 -

I am experiencing some odd behaviors with fp9 player:

flash 6 to 8 swf files with  as1 or keyframe animation just performs  
slower.
If i want my animations to move just as smooth in the fp9  i need to  
export them with more or less the double framete before fp9 shows  
them rather ok.


at least it is an issue on my intel mac with the newest fp9 player.

Have anybody experienced something similar?

Re: [Flashcoders] How to get good photo quality images in flash from photoshop, my tiny tutorial..

2007-01-15 Thread søren Christensen

The gamma integration with Flash 8 and Photoshop really sucks so...
(no ICC compability)



Another way is to work directly in your monitor colour space (given  
that it is calibrated properly).

That way you will get no suprises...at least not on your monitor

If you need some really optimized jpgs _dont_ use the build in jpg  
exporter in flash. Optimize the jpg in your favourite app (photoshop  
is good enough for me). Flash can use imported jpgs without  
recompressing them.

Then I thought to make a tutorial for my own to see what kind of

Well,

- make sure your xml file (dynamic or 'physical') is utf-8 encoded.
- And make sure your textfield uses a typeface that supports your desired

- And if the typeface is being embedded make sure that you embed the special

Re: [Flashcoders] Flvs fail to stream on an older pc

2005-11-24 Thread Søren Christensen

Hi Karina

I have had similar problems like you.

My cd-rom in question had 2 videos (both external flvs to profit f7's
smaller memory footprint advantage over f6 regarding videos)
Both videos was rather big in pixel size and approx 3 mins length (about 30
megabytes each). So i knew they would demand a bit of 'juice'.

When testing with a 'raw' video test both a mac g4 500mhz (os9 and osx) and
a p3 600mhz (both win2k + win 98) worked fine with no performance  problems
playing from a cd.

But my version with the final design was demanding quite alot more cpu to
perform well.
What i found out was that the pure presence of bitmap graphics with alpha
information was decreasing the performance (demanding more cpu) - even
though the bitmap wasn't moving or something was moving over or under it.

I still couldn't optimize it fully to fit my 'raw' tests - but it put down
the performance needs to a acceptable level.
My minimum specs ended up at mac: g4 800mhz pc: p3 800mhz (both 64mb ram)

I had other strange problems like sound issues with some pcs - some dell
configurations with sound blaster live soundcards and a certain motherboards
and cd-rom drive for some reason distorted the sound. (similar to the sound
issues with flash 5 and soundblaster pci 64 and 128) but thing like this is
out of your hands.
But well with cd-rom productions there always are some odd hw configurations
that just give problems (although in theory it shouldn't).
Using director would just giver other issues (and make the production a lot
more expensive due to the lack of cross platform projector exporting back
then). Flash gave us the unique feature to distribute video cross platform
without being dependent of 3rd party media players.
All in all the cd-rom was a success and went into its 2 edition with a total
of 70.000 units.

Cheers,
B) Søren

 Hi List,
  
 I'm on the last stages of development of an educational CD-Rom in FlashMX
 2004. The application uses a v2 media component loads flvs from the CD-Rom.
 It's been developed on a pc (XP) and then zipped over and burned on the Mac
 (OSX) and set to the client.
  
 The client has an old mac and an even older PC (which still uses windows
 98...). The CD-Rom loads on both, but the flvs seem to work on her mac but
 not on the pc (except for one or two). She also says that an earlier version
 of the CD-Rom that I sent her does work, which is puzzling. Also, there is a
 little test utility just for the Flvs on the CD-Rom, and that also works. My
 application loads various swfs into a base swf file, and the flvs are loaded
 to that, so it could be a memory thing.
  
 I can't run any of the tests myself, because I'm based in Dublin and she is
 in London, so I don't know what to do. I tried to tell her that her PC is
 just too old for the software, and I still haven't got any data from her
 about how much memory it has. She's not very technical.
  
 Does anyone have any ideas, solutions or minimum specs for this problem?
  
 Thanks,
 Karina

[Flashcoders] win xp and firewire issues with flash

2005-11-03 Thread Søren Christensen


Hi all

I have made a video broadcaster for a webcast project.
The broadcast computers are pcs with win xp wih video via firewire.

Though, I have some really weird issues with win xp, dv camera (canon -
connected via firewire) and the flash player.
(Everything work fine on mac though...)


The video feed works fine in other applications - just not with my flash
video broadcaster.
I found a macromedia technote for breeze?! that stated some issues with sp2.
But that it could be fixed with replacing some drivers with the same from
sp1 (didn't work)
http://www.macromedia.com/go/tn_19568

I downgraded the machines to xp Sp1 having the same problem - no video feed
via firewire is getting through to the flash player...


I have been goog'ling around to find a solution with no luck so far and a
more than open to suggestions how to come around this.

Anybody from Macromedia who got some inside knowledge regarding this?


Thanks in advance :-)


Best regards,
Søren Christensen
