Adobe has made an interesting announcement this week. While they will be offering Flash on several new devices with Flash 10.1, the iPhone is not supported. However in what seems to be their solution to this problem, they are going to allow Flash to iPhone apps directly from Flash CS5. This isn’t going to be [...]
I updated the Blu-ray HDMV Flash Viewer to version .15. Mostly I added some options in the control panel thing to make it easier to send menus to clients. Here’s the changelog from the help file(which needs some updating in sections):
Version .15 – Added options into the control panel so you don’t have to mess [...]
For those of you who have tried my HDMV Flash Viewer and use Firefox as your default browser you may have noticed the image was very small. About 200 pixels tall to be exact. This seems to be a bug in Firefox using 100% height with Flash.
Well, I finally found a solution. For those who [...]
I made a few changes to the HDMV Flash Viewer. Here is the change log for those interested:
Version .12 – Made the menu center on the screen to create a “letterbox/pillarbox” effect
-Added variable named “f”. This is for framerate. Default is 24.
-Added variable named “s”. This is for Selected Loop. Default is True.
-Added variable named [...]
We are just starting to play around with subtitles for Blu-ray, and I found this free application that seems pretty cool. It’s called URUWorks Subtitle Workshop and it will open up a ton of different subtitle formats, and supports HDMV BDN subtitles exporting. I haven’t tried it yet besides a quick output test since we [...]
Tutorial 5 is up, and this time we go over how to set up and use the HDMV Flash Viewer. It’s not super complicated, but does have a couple tricky steps. Basic knowledge of FTP and web sites is recommended.
At NAB there was a company that is working with Sonic to create a Flash to BD-J Converter. I wrote a little about it in my blog, but I don’t think I gave enough information about it. I received this email from them which does a better job at describing the product:
“Dear Mr. Kroona
This is [...]
I released the first public version of the Blu-Ray HDMV Flash Viewer. It can be downloaded by following the link on the right. I’m planning on recording a short screencast that will show how to use/install it to your server in the next couple days.
For now, here’s a quick explanation on how to install. Just unzip [...]
I have a lot on Blu-ray, so it has it’s own post. Let’s start with Sonic.
Sonic
Sonic officially released 4.5 of Scenarist Blu-ray, though the authoring houses have had it for a few weeks now. It has a much better interface, an auto-route button feature, and a buffer percentage feature. I got a tour of the [...]
I just got back from wondering around the Las Vegas convention center and am a bit overwhelmed with the number of companies out there, especially the ones I don’t know what the even do. I mean, how many distribution/AVC Encoding/IPTV company’s do we need? But I thought I’d list what things I saw that I [...]
I’ll be at NAB this Tuesday through Thursday. I plan on checking out a few things, but am most interested in-
Digital Rapids
Sonic Scenarist
Any Adobe Products
Cinamacraft
Sony XD Cam
Sony Blu-ray
Red Camera
Aja Kona
I’m hoping to see some new software and hardware from these products. I’ll try to take pictures and post anything cool I see. I know a [...]
I’m going to be using Flash to play any videos or tutorials I have on this site, but I’ll be using H.264 compression instead of the normal FLV compression. What does this mean? First of all, it means better looking videos at lower bitrates with fullscreen and HD support. However it also means you need [...]
For client approvals, I’m developing a Flash viewer that takes your Sonic Designer code, reads all the images and buttons, and creates a basic menu out of it. Here is an example of it for a title we are currently working on.
For now it’s just for my own use, but I might end up releasing the [...]
