Question
FLV Playback Anomaly
I've earched the forum and noited a handful of FLV-related
questions that have gone unanswered, so I am presupposing that my
problem is just a defect with Cap 3 andf FLV playback. If anyone
has experienced this and has a solution, please chime in. I realize
there may be workarounds to call separate SWFs containing just the
videos but I hate to have to gon down that path.
I have a project holding 10 FLVs. Ther FLVs were created with FVlash encode 8 and I even tried using the new CS4 encoder. The FLVs should have the requisite metadata. The FLVs play fine in Flash.
In Captivate, the first time they are loaded, a few of the FLVs will cutoff just prior to ending and yet they will rewind as indicated in the video properties. The 2nd time through, the file plays all the way through. I've tried changing specific time, as well as "pause slide for duration of video." When I select "pause slide for duration of video," the FLV is expanded to the end of the timeline. I want the video to fade out and then I pause the slide, so this is not good.
I understand that FLVs cache in sequence as the SWF downloads but they are pretty small and I feel they should all be cached. Even the first FLV has this issue. Some of them are OK. I cannot understand why some play completley first time, some don't. I've beat this one up as best I can and am flummoxed.
