A gift to all that have helped me!!!!

Most of you at some time have helped me build my site.  To me there is no higher gift than to share and or teach and or help someone try to achieve what they are after. Everyday you guys jump on board with your personalities intact to help people do just that.  I want to give something back to you all and more.  As we all know the h.264 has been a horrible issue please see this post to see the issue perfectly:

Both of the video's are coded with h.264 push the start button on movie number 1 and pack a lunch (98 megs) then push the start button on number 2 and have Technology nervana.

h.264 is an enormous issue and one I spent the better part of 9 computer hours pulling my hair out and wanting to sue Steve Jobs BC once again the division between platforms of coding does nothing but confuse the average computer user.  I went to bed at 3:30 and took out my new Ipad and searched for answers and came across this free program:

http://www.datagoround.com/lab/     This if used causes a h.264 to start correctly and almost instantly once pushed......... I hope this helps all of you in some way........Have an amazing day.........

For the video issue, the first video was not encoded with what is called compressed headers. Because of that, the entire video must load before it will play. Re-encode the video with the "Fast start" or "Compressed headers" option checked (the option is named differently depending on what encoding program you use).

Have you found a way to incorporate this into Dolphin 7? Or do you manually update files?

In this post: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/topic/Help-with-h264-Video-Streaming.htm I asked for help in automating the use of command line programs that do the same thing as MP4 Fast Start.

Great, another right wing - wing nut.

Thanks for your "gift", but I can get Obama bashing just about anywhere. You people are coming out of the woodwork if you haven't noticed & not one of you seems to make any danged sense. This is even more so in your case.

"Is-it-Mania-like-Obama-our-is-it-Real" <== What does this even mean? (nevermind I don't care)

If you want to share something, how about doing it without all of political opinions next time? I don't remember bringing up how much I dislike Republicans and the Tea Party when I helped you out some time back. I just helped.

Try making a  post that is about the actual subject instead of linking to political garbage talk that also *happens* to have a video player on the page.

Please enjoy the image & game idea I created for you and your kind - it's my gift back to you, though I probably should have added "for dummies" at the bottom.

My bad.

Thank you

The tag line has nothing to do with the post at all...........the post if you must know is about people who want to see the worst in people instead of seeing the best in people...............once again without even trying you made my point...........The post was talking about how wonderful a 10 year old girl who people questioned if it was real.  Amazing maybe next time you might want to "READ" something and not just look at a tag line and then attack me when the post again was about H.264 and how it affects video.  I have seen at least over one hundred posts about the player with H.264 currently being used has to load the entire movie and the post I put up there, "ABOUT MUSIC and a 10 year old Angel Voice with an OBAMA tag line shows the difference...............I clearly understand why you are upset, I would be uspset also if I was on the left,  but it has nothing to do with my post......

 I read you post and that is interesting I have a flash player that is hosted in another place and processes the H.264 in minutes and also plays them across Ipads and Iphones or flash if on a browser.  I would love for someone to be able to make this a FLASH application that a person could drop the current player and use the coding for this.  The current player is a flash object that can be turned on and off so how difficult would it be to just add this player to the list of possible options....... The processing of H.264 via Dolphin takes forever..........I am going to put out a job request to get this done can you do it?

OBTW that sounds like a great idea to me........The only problem is after waiting two hours for a large movie to process in H.264 it still would not play with that Dolphin Flash Player over an IPAD even though just coded with H.264.....hmmm

The iPad's only Flash support is an imitation player that is nowhere near complete.

Regarding h264 play back, in case anyone misunderstands, I would like to point out the issue is not with the video player (in this case Dolphin's flash player).

The problem with h264 videos, more specifically ffmpeg (and most of the video encoders), is the meta data required to start playing the video is at the end of the file. This is why you must download the whole file before you can start paying it.

The solution to this particular problem is to move the required meta data to the start of the file. Thats what qt-faststart, MP4Box, and AtomicParcly (all command line programs available for Linux platforms) do.

The issue with Dolphin is how do we run one of these additional programs on a new video after it has been encoded by ffmpeg? Once this is figured out, we can have high quality videos that start to play before the file is fully downloaded, using the default Dolphin video player.

I could care less about politics or the content of any video at this point.  I just want to have the option of making h264 videos stream able. Hopefully that is not too much to ask for...

 Thank you for saying that BC it was not meant to be a political message AT ALL in anyway shape or form.........

That is what my friend is talking about with the compressed headers that was the point of the post.......  @Magnusoft Im not sure what you mean by a stand alone player as the player used and embeded here in the post uses both a Flash player if available and mobil player if needed........And that is also the purpose of this post the player is feed by an XML feed and truly is amazing what can be done.........I am looking for someone to make a flash addition so it can be added by choice or not isn't the current player a flash plugin.....??  If you don't like the player just choose the other.  I mean the player is already designed......it would just have to be plugged in is that a HUGE issue....???  @Leather... I know you just want the Compressed Headers but this player ads so many other functions to the site.........and has the ability to tie this BEAST of a site together with direction or gives you a chance to make a complete statement about anything you want using the media aspects this site offers......
