Flash CS3 was not really designed to know about this, so to make it easy, use the old flv tools, just rename your file.mp4 to file.mp4.flv And it should work. In the above I use a standard FLV player I got on a site. You just load it and point it at a video file with JavaScript. The only REAL issue you need to take note of is that the video will not progressive-stream if the OP-ATOM header is at the end of the file (Very standard.) This header file, if at the front of the file, tells the flash H.264 player how to handle the file as streaming. Otherwise it has to wait until the file has completely downloaded before it can play. The big problem most people have is a system says it makes H.264 files, however, they commonly place it in a non-standard container. Pulling it apart and putting it back together is usually possible but its hard and very complex. mp4box and other command line tools can be used.. You have to be brave!! James HI Greg,

I have a AVCHD player and would love to setup a web page to play all my AVCHD video clips, but don't know exactly how to do what you setup above. Please let me know if you have some additional info on setting this up. thanks. greg. James,

We presently are using DV-AVI (DV25). You said you do programming and conversions. Are you able to create an AVCHD player we can use in our program and/or a conversion to convert AVCHD to DV-AVI (DV25) files. If you feel confident in these areas I would like to talk to you further.
