I have video that I've converted to FLV format. I'd rather host it on my own site than use a service like YouTube. What is the easiest player to use? I'd like to just put the .swf file of the player somewhere on my server, and give it the video as a parameter. ...
With previous versions of flash, entering the full screen mode increased the height and width of the stage to the dimensions of the screen. Now that hardware scaling has arrived, the height and width are set to the dimensions of the video (plus borders if the aspect ratio is different). That's fine, unless you have controls placed over...
We had a question on how to create podcasts a while ago, and i'd like to go one step further - i'd like to create a video tutorial. Now, I am using Screen Capture software and a standard Video Editing program to edit them, and I find it quite hard sometimes to keep up the pace. I noticed that some videos (i.e. the ASP.net Videos) often ...
Ok, I get the basics of video format - there are some container formats and then you have core video/audio formats. I would like to write a web based application that determines what video/audio codec a file is using. How best can I programmatically determine a video codec? Would it be best to use a standard library via system calls and...
In the past, some of my projects have required me to create a movie version of a fullscreen Flash application. The easiest way to do this has been to get a screen capture. However, capturing anything over 1024x768 has resulted in choppy video, which is unacceptable. I understand that there are hardware based solutions for capturing fulls...
In your opinion, what are the best options for adding video to a website assuming it would be rendered as FLV. What are the key considerations? Would you use a 3rd party service (youtube.com, vimeo.com, etc.) or host yourself? Why? If you used a service, which one? If you hosted yourself is it as simple as using an existing embeddabl...
I am looking into an image processing problem for semi-real time detection of certain scenarios. My goal is to have the live video arrive as Motion JPEG frames in my Java code somehow. I am familiar with the Java Media Framework and, sadly, I think we can consider that an effectively dead API. I am also familiar with Axis boxes and,...
Is there a way to manipulate the speed of the video playback? I'm especially interested in a way to slow down with frame blending, exactly like the function in Final Cut Pro. ...
I'm having a weird cross-browser flash problem. Please see the screenshot below. I have seen this behaviour before, but I cannot recall what the cause was. Can someone please tell me why this happens, and possible actions I can take to fix it? ...
I have implemented a YUV to RGB conversion via a fragment shader written in Nvidia's shader language. (Y, U and V are stored in separate textures that are combined via multi texturing in my fragment shader). It works great under OpenGL, but under Direct3D I just can't get the output image to look right. I'm starting to suspect that Direc...
I'm using a WPF MediaElement to render HD video in an application. When the size of the MediaElement gets over about 300 units square the video stutters and the computer is nearly totally unresponsive. I need to render the video full screen. Has anybody had success rendering fullscreen video using the WPF MediaElement? What were the ...
Does anyone know any good tool that I can use to perform stress tests on a video streaming server? I need to test how well my server handles 5,000+ connections. ...

I can do this with a page refresh but im trying ot do it via javascript so i don't have to. I ...
I am supposed to provide my users a really simple way of capturing video clips out of my OpenGL application's main window. I am thinking of adding buttons and/or keyboard shortcuts for starting and stopping the capture; when starting, I could ask for a filename and other options, if any. It has to run in Windows (XP/Vista), but I also wo...
I would like to dynamically switch the video source in a streaming video application. However, the different video sources have unique image dimensions. I can generate individual SDP files for each video source, but I would like to combine them into a single SDP file so that the viewing client could automatically resize the display windo...
I've been looking into the FlowPlayer recently for a new project. What other alternatives are out there (Free OR Paid)? I'm interested in speed, usability, features, and customization capabilities. Any help or further information is appreciated. ...
I am looking into improving the backup process a group of animators use. Currently they back up their work into external hard drives or DVDs manually, taking full copies of everything. The data consists of thousands of high resolution images, project files of various video editing software and sound files. Basically everything is binary ...
I need to put video playback to my game, and the video must be in a texture so that it is played inside the game world. I am using Java (Java3D, JOGL). How can I do this? Any ideas? ...
I'm starting to get into a side project that I hope to pull in frames from several small IP cameras, perhaps do a bit of motion detection and redisplay them in a form with alerts. Does anyone have some good resources or similar projects that I could use to get acquainted with the ins and outs? I'm using C# 3.5 with SP1 in VS2008 ...
Hi, I've found plenty of simple, cheap solutions for recording composite video sources to my PC, a laptop. But I'd like to be able to record in HD and use component cables. I was wondering if anyone had a good solution for this. Required: Cheap Desired Portable, external hardware device ...
