ok, firstly you need to have quicktime installed to view the movie (because embed is a quicktime invoking command), secondly, you need to make sure you follow the right format with embed. <embed src="movie.mov" height="actual height + 16px if you want controller controls" width="actual width" cache="true"(for caching) controller="true"(for controls if you want to, default is false) kioskmode="false" (unless you dont want people be able to download the movie)>. And the other thing is try using .mov format for your movie.

 

Or another way out is just to provide a link so people can download the movie and view it at their convenience. Best way is to do both...

I don't think embed is just a quicktime invoking command. It works for media player too. But when I get to RealMedia, it asks for a mysterious plug-in.

Well, i was wrong in saying that, it doesnt invoke any program, what it invokes is a library and a whole bunch of functions. It used to be that only QT came with that library, but since then, media player and i think winamp have caught up in using and providing that library for your computer.

 

As to none of the programs working, I was specifficaly looking up programs that converted to avi (since that was what you were looking for), there are many programs out there that will convert to .mov, but without hassle QTPro works very well for the money. I got Adobe Premiere Pro to handle any of my video needs...

i got 'em both. From warez. But there is no copyright violation if you don't use it for commercial benefit right? and plus, there's not much to worry about pirated software over here.

uuh, it's pirated all right... Thats why you should switch to open-source, the programs are free 98% of the time!
are they as good?

 

I've overcome the software part. So now i want to ask help on a few encoding techniques.

I was using premiere pro to encode to .wmv format. it gives a myriad options. so one of the presets was "WMV9 720 30p". What does that mean? there's a whole load of others. it'd be good if there's a good website that explains all this. when I used windows media encoder, all was simpler and better. Premiere is one mammoth app to run on this PIII 800mhz with 512 SDRAM. painstaking. think i should just throw Premiere out the window (or Windows, I should say) and make do with those small apps that alex suggested. i don't need such sophisticated stuff...

It all depends on what you are doing, Premiere is a very sophisticated piece of software that is aimed towards people who want to edit or compile movies. I dont see why you couldnt run it on wyour system, you just need a good graphics card and you'd be all set, my dad runs premiere on a 700mhz machine and it runs fine...

I have no idea what "WMV9 720 30p" means, but i'm sure that Adobe.com has some kind of a manual for it, so i'd go and check it out...

P.S. i just googled it, and it seems like 720 30p is something that you render a video as, and WMV9 is just the codec that it will use...

of course, wmv is the video encoding format, and wmv9 means the version of the encoder. but I don't understand the '720 30p'. there are options like 700 50p and 900 50p etc... what's the difference? i couldn't find any help on that at adobe.com

never mind, though. i've had enough of premiere. i think i should just get a movie splitter and mix it up with AfterEffects or hollywood fx. but i haven't found a splitter that works. i tried Easy Video Splitter. It crashed the computer everytime i click "Split".

can't find a tutorial for premiere

Sorry, Tinny, but this really is not an official support forum - especially not for cracked products. I have never used Premiere myself and would love to help, but I would like to spend my time on things I really can help out with.

 

I'll be adding a section to the FAQ that we do not want to discuss cracked products and that we will not be able to offer any support for it. I know you might be using it for a non-commercial project but that still doesn't mean that Alexander nor I are in a position to help.

 

Alexander suggested a lot of free or cheap products which can do most of what you need. I suggest you try out these and consider buying them. Or buy a book or a manual or something.

 

By the way, a quick search at Google for premiere tutorial gave me lots of hits.

 

There is no ill will in this, Tinny. We have discussed this and we do not feel comfortable spending our time supporting cracked products. I hope you understand. We whave no problems helping you with your MySQL and PHP problems (just remember that it is Christmas right now so most of us are getting very busy).

you are in no way supporting cracked products nor discussing cracked products. :P

those tutorials you see on google are not free. you have to sign up and pay.

 

damn this capitalism. :D the rich are richer and the poor are poorer. the knowledgeable are more knowledgeable and the stupid are more stupid...

 

:D

I was under the impression that you used a cracked copy of Premiere. MY bad if that is not correct.

 

Anyways, products like Premiere are really for the pros, so tutorials tend to cost money. Photoshop tutorials are more abundant because there are just so incredibly many people who use cracked photoshop!

 

Many of the commercial training sites offer samples tutorials for free, and they are often quite good.

 

Frankly, if all you're doing is converting files form one format to another Premiere is vastly overkill...

I know people who write tutorials. It takes a VERY long time and requires expensive software, especially if they provide movies showing how things are done. That they charge for it is not strange.

 

Licenced owners of all Adobe products get tons of tutorials for free from Adobe.

i am not simply converting files. i'm cutting up long videos into clips, stitching them and blending them together, cutting out background noise... and finally, I export them. if i had only need to convert files, i'd have used quicktime pro for .mov, media encoder for .wmv and easy real encoder for .rm

I was under the impression that you used a cracked copy of Premiere. MY bad if that is not correct.
I am. but it doesn't mean you or anyone else is supporting cracked software.

but the way, i found a good forum for discussing premiere
