View Full Version : Mac Flash 8 encoded flv files stop playing prematurely

I am using Flash 8 to encode flvs from one minute movs on a Mac with 10.3.9.

If I create flvs using Sorenson Squeeze, the flvs made from movs play back completely. However, if I encode flvs from the same movs, the flvs stop playing about 3/4 of the way through the flv.

I have worked with the same development process on Windows in Flash 8 and have not run into this problem. I want to be able to create the flvs with Flash 8 to enable the in file cue point capability of Flash 8.

Any suggestions on a solution?

Thanks!

have you tried using the flash 8 video encoder that comes with flash? that gives you the options to create cue points, as well as a load of other settings. its in the same root directory as flash

Yes, I have used the video encoder that comes with Flash. The flvs produced with the encoder create flvs that also only complete playing about 3/4 of the way through just like the flvs produced when imported into Flash 8 and encoded by Flash 8.
