'''Flash Video''' is the name of a [[file format]] used to deliver [[video]] over the [[Internet]] using [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]] [[Adobe Flash Player|Flash Player]] (initially produced by [[Macromedia]]) versions 6–10. Until version 9 update 2 of the Flash Player, Flash Video referred to a proprietary file format, having the extension ''FLV''. The most recent public release of Flash Player supports [[H.264]] video and [[HE-AAC]] audio. Flash Video content may also be embedded within [[SWF]] files. Notable users of the Flash Video format include [[YouTube]], [[Google Video]], [[Yahoo! Video]], [[Reuters|Reuters.com]], and many other news providers.
=Speedy deletion of various villages==
I have added villages in the Scottish Highlands not currently on Wiki, why remove these, i think you are removing things without any thought. Please explain why you removed these?--[[User:Gremlinuk|Gremlinuk]] ([[User talk:Gremlinuk|talk]]) 18:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


Flash Video is viewable on most operating systems, via the widely available Adobe Flash Player and [[web browser]] [[plugin]], or one of several third-party programs such as [[MPlayer]], [[VLC media player]], [[Quicktime]], or any player which uses [[DirectShow]] filters (such as [[Media Player Classic]], [[Windows Media Player]], and [[Windows Media Center]]) when the [[ffdshow]] filter is installed.

Why did you delete the link to another wikipedia page? I guess, that link is quite useful for the interested reader.

Though the container format itself is [[open format|open]], the [[codec]]s used with it are [[patent]]ed.
== Speedy deletion of "Elantech" ==


== Flash Player ==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|48px|left]] A page you created, [[:Elantech]], has been tagged for [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion]], as it meets one or more of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]]; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is [[Wikipedia:Notability|generally accepted as notable]], and the [[Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)|guidelines for companies]] in particular.
{{main|Adobe Flash Player}}
The '''Adobe Flash Player''' is a multimedia and application player originally developed by Macromedia and acquired by [[Adobe Systems]]. It plays [[SWF]] files which can be created by the [[Adobe Flash]] authoring tool, [[Adobe Flex]], or a number of other [[Adobe Systems]] and third party tools.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} It has support for a scripting language called [[ActionScript]], which can be used to display Flash Video from an SWF file. Because the Flash Player runs as a [[web browser|browser]] [[plug-in]], it is possible to embed Flash Video in web pages and view the video within a web browser. The primary downside of Flash's FLV player is that it is very inefficient compared to a directly embedded video file, dropping frames when running on slow clients that run directly embedded video perfectly. {{Fact|date=June 2008}}


== Format details ==
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our [[Wikipedia:List of policies#Content and Style|content policies]] and any applicable [[Wikipedia:Notability|inclusion guidelines]]. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our [[Wikipedia:Introduction|introduction to editing]] and [[Wikipedia:Your first article|guide to writing your first article]].
Commonly, Flash Video files contain video [[bit stream]]s which are a variant of the [[H.263]] video standard, under the name of [[Sorenson codec|Sorenson Spark]]. Flash Player 8 and newer revisions support the playback of [[On2]] [[VP6|TrueMotion VP6]] video bit streams. On2 VP6 can provide a higher visual quality than Sorenson Spark, especially when using lower [[bit rate]]s. On the other hand it is computationally more complex and therefore will not run as well on certain older system configurations. Flash Player 9 Update 3 includes support for [[H.264]] video standard (also known as [[H.264/MPEG-4 AVC|MPEG-4 part 10, or AVC]]) which is even more computationally demanding, but offers significantly better quality/bitrate ratio.


The Flash Video file format supports two versions of a so called 'screenshare' codec which is an encoding format designed for [[screencast]]s.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} Both these formats are bitmap tile based, can be [[lossy]] by reducing [[color depth]]s and are compressed using [[zlib]]. The second version is only playable in Flash Player 8 and newer.{{Fact|date=June 2008}}

Audio in Flash Video files is usually encoded as [[MP3]].{{Fact|date=June 2008}} However, Flash Video files recorded from the user's microphone use the proprietary [[Nellymoser|Nellymoser codec]].{{Fact|date=June 2008}} FLV files also support uncompressed audio or [[ADPCM]] format audio.{{Fact|date=June 2008}} Recent versions of Flash Player 9 support [[Advanced Audio Coding|AAC]] ([[HE-AAC]]/[[Advanced Audio Coding|AAC]] [[Spectral band replication|SBR]], AAC Main Profile, and AAC-LC).<ref name=AUDIO>{{cite web

[[Image:Wikipedia Rollback.png|thumb]]
After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
*Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
*Rollback can be used to revert ''vandalism only'', and not good faith edits.
*Rollback may be removed at any time.
If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view [[Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback|this page]]. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message {{#ifeq:|<!-- nothing -->|<!-- also nothing -->|on [[User talk:{{{1}}}|my talk page]]}} if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback.

=== File formats ===
Because of restrictions in the .flv format, Adobe Systems has created new file formats listed below. Flash player does not check the extension of the file, but rather looks inside the file to detect which format it is.<ref name=MPEG4 />

== Im sorry for vandalizing Wiki ==
! Description

I have decided to spread the Wiki love. And I am truly sorry for what I have done.
I would love to be your friend though. Is there a add friend button or something?

==Thanks on tireless edits==
I appreciate the thanks. I've been enjoying the reverts, but have not enjoyed running across the three jokers who felt it necessary to defend their bad edits by being abusive. I guess three out of hundreds is not bad, but it occurred to me that all three were responding to a vandalism message put on their page. And that I could avoid such by simply not giving them anything to respond to. One other concern -- less selfish, perhaps, lol -- is leaving messages to anonymous IP addresses, which might, weeks later, wind up being sent to someone completely different using that same IP. Baffling and annoying them?

I'm open to suggestion. Let me know your thoughts? [[User:Piano non troppo|Piano non troppo]] ([[User talk:Piano non troppo|talk]]) 05:13, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

==A very good question==
Basically if it's an English topic, use English spelling. If it's an American topic use American English spelling. If a topic is neutral continue using the spelling already used on the page. For more information see [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (spelling)]]. I see you've been granted rollback already.

== Reversal of my attempts to improve the cimbalom page? ..... please read! ==

You have no email so I post here.... I am not an encyclopedist, a Wikipedia whiz, or a computer nerd but I am genuinely knowledgeable about the cimbalom and deeply interested in solving problems with the current page. I have not been promulgating my own personal views. I know that formal policy requirements need to be met and I will find missing citations as quickly as I can. They do exist.
For example; There should be absolutely no controversy (and there ''isn't'' anywhere else) over the name "cimbalom" or the need for the instrument to have a separate article. I strongly suggest that you look up "Cimbalom" in the Groves (both the full encyclopedia and the dictionary of musical instruments are the definitive references for music)! Also, if you study the evolution of the piano you can better see how the cimbalom followed a unique evolutionary pattern and will better see the context for the instruments related to it.
The Wikipedia cimbalom page is not yet effectively differentiated from the page for Tsymbaly and it absolutely needs to be! A proficient and unambiguous page that does justice to this obscure but extremely important and fascinating instrument is sorely needed. If you are patient and read my talk, you will note that I intend to continue to improve the article. I'm not good at Wikipedia but I intend to improve. Be assured, I have no interest whatsoever in traipsing all over Wikipedia changing things inadvertently. Next time I edit "Cimbalom" it will be with a list of citations to support that which is already stated and that which I add. Please also note that the photo I took and also posted of the concert cimbalom is '''not''' present on the Tsymbaly page nor is it the same instrument as a Tsymbaly though the photo which heads the Tsymbaly page also heads the "Cimbalom" page. Do you see why this image of the concert cimbalom should also be at the top of the cimbalom article since it is a definitive cimbalom as distinguished from the Tsymbaly and the folk dulcimers. Otherwise it is like having a Silbermann square piano solely heading the main article about the piano forte. Please note the legacy of compositions (spelled "cimbalom" in the scores - I know as I've played the parts) this specific pictured instrument holds. Though citations are needed, they are available and coming.
BTW, If you search the blue man group page you will see that cimbalom is used yet you also reversed my inclusion of this fact.
* The background from which I write is that I am a 2 time attendee and founding member of the World Cimbalom Association as well as a cimbalom player conversant with it's environs. (I also hold a degree in music and perform professionally on double bass) ((naturally, the bass has a good page)) Frustrated here [[User:Jeffreyholsen|Jeffreyholsen]] ([[User talk:Jeffreyholsen|talk]]) 09:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Miquonranger03! Over the coming months I will be working with The U of AZ music library and the music department ethnomusicologist (if I can get her interested) to begin to get really good citations for this article!

You make it just too complex and time consuming for me to contribute... All I do is adding info about all coachbuilders I know and all you do is questioning and deleting it. I am not violating any copyrights from www.coachbuild.com, because I have their permission. I have quite a lot to add about all coachbuilders (first hand, second and third hand) out of my own knowledge and from notable people and friends in the business and I've only just started. There's a lot of crap and false details in many articles about coachbuilders and car manufacturers, but it seems it is not always appreciated if I correct these articles. Much information cannot be found on the internet so it's almost impossible to refer to other online sources and besides, many other online sources are false as well...--Coachbuild (talk) 00:56, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

==More questions...==
First of all, well done! You've been very busy. I'ts good to see you've taken the time to read what a minor edit is. :) So many people use them when they shouldn't, especially newbies! In response to your first question: I think the user only called the sockpuppetry case "gay". This means I can't really template him for civility if he hasn't made a personal attack. I have however, invited him to read [[WP:REF]]. The youtube links obviously don't constitute proper references. Unless he can provide a proper reference, you (and other users) have every right to remove the statements, (as I see you and other trusted users already have). As to your second question: I'd definitely wait a good while before concerning yourself with rfa. In future I'd be happy to discuss this further with you. At the moment however, an rfa submitted by yourself would probably fail per [[WP:NOTNOW]]. Also, some people at rfa don't like large amounts of edits by huggle. If you are interested in becoming an admin sometime in the future, I'd recommend reading some [[WP:RFAS|successful]] and [[WP:RFAF|unsuccessful]] rfas, as well as the [[WP:ARL|admins reading list]]. --'''[[User:Cameron|Cameron]][[User Talk:Cameron|*]]''' 12:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

== Re your report ==

Hi. Re your report at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/3RR#Energiie reported by Miquonranger03 (Result:Page deleted)]]: There was nothing wrong with submitting that report, and possibly a different administrator might have handled it differently. I just have a suggestion: if someone repeatedly deletes a speedy-delete tag and continues to do so after being asked not to on their talk page, that rather than repeatedly reverting the tag back in, it may be calmer and easier to find an administrator and ask them to look at it as if it had a speedy-delete tag. You could look at the [[Special:Logs/Deletion|deletion log]] to find the name of an administrator who is currently deleting pages, or you could post to one of a number of [[:Category:Wikipedia noticeboards|noticeboards]], such as [[WP:AN/I]]. This is just a suggestion, not a criticism.

I undid your revert which removed Edgemont Park from the list of neighborhoods in Mesquite, Texas.

You might be intrigued to know that the ''Mexico City'' page is rife with assertions that fly in the face of their references, mostly in the "economy" section. Something similar has been happening to the "ethnicity" sections in many Latin American country artcles (a contentious subject south of the border, as you may have heard). Another editor found a good, blanket reference for the ethnicity table in the ''Latin America'' article, itself, and it seems to be holding (pretty much). Never a dull moment, huh?

<!-- list of FLV stream recorders? -->
Flash Video is often delivered via an embedded Flash file, though there are various [[stream recorder]]s available.


== Delivery options ==
Thanks again for your trouble.
Flash Video files can be delivered in several different ways:
* As a standalone .FLV file. Although Flash Video files are normally delivered using a Flash player for control, the .FLV file itself is fully-functional on its own and can be played or converted to other formats from local storage such as a hard disk or a CD.
* Embedded in an SWF file using the Flash authoring tool (supported in Flash Player 6 and later). The entire file must be transferred before playback can begin. Changing the video requires rebuilding the SWF file.
* Progressive download via [[HTTP]] (supported in Flash Player 7 and later). This method uses [[ActionScript]] to include an externally hosted Flash Video file client-side for playback. Progressive download has several advantages, including buffering, use of generic HTTP servers, and the ability to reuse a single SWF player for multiple Flash Video sources. Flash Player 8 includes support for random access within video files using the partial download functionality of HTTP, sometimes this is referred to as streaming. However, unlike streaming using [[Real Time Messaging Protocol|RTMP]], HTTP "streaming" does not support real-time broadcasting. Streaming via HTTP requires a custom player and the injection of specific Flash Video metadata containing the exact starting position in bytes and timecode of each keyframe. Using this specific information, a custom Flash Video player can request any part of the Flash Video file starting at a specified keyframe. For example, [[Google Video]] and [[Youtube]] support progressive downloading and can seek to any part of the video before buffering is complete. The server-side part of this "HTTP pseudo-streaming" method is fairly simple to implement, for example in [[PHP]], as an [[Apache_HTTP_Server]], or a [[lighttpd]].
* Streamed via [[Real Time Messaging Protocol|RTMP]] to the Flash Player using the [[Flash Media Server]] (formerly called Flash Communication Server), [[Video Communication Server (Onlinelib)|VCS]], [[ElectroServer]], [[Wowza Pro]], [[WebORB for .NET]] or the open source [[Red5]] server. As of April 2008, there are [[stream recorder]]s available for this protocol, [[codec|re-encoding]] [[screencast]] software excluded.

Type of formatmedia container

Flash Video is the name of a file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player (initially produced by Macromedia) versions 6–10. Until version 9 update 2 of the Flash Player, Flash Video referred to a proprietary file format, having the extension FLV. The most recent public release of Flash Player supports H.264 video and HE-AAC audio. Flash Video content may also be embedded within SWF files. Notable users of the Flash Video format include YouTube, Google Video, Yahoo! Video, Reuters.com, and many other news providers.

Flash Video is viewable on most operating systems, via the widely available Adobe Flash Player and web browser plugin, or one of several third-party programs such as MPlayer, VLC media player, Quicktime, or any player which uses DirectShow filters (such as Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player, and Windows Media Center) when the ffdshow filter is installed.

Though the container format itself is open, the codecs used with it are patented.

Flash Player

Main article: Adobe Flash Player

The Adobe Flash Player is a multimedia and application player originally developed by Macromedia and acquired by Adobe Systems. It plays SWF files which can be created by the Adobe Flash authoring tool, Adobe Flex, or a number of other Adobe Systems and third party tools.[citation needed] It has support for a scripting language called ActionScript, which can be used to display Flash Video from an SWF file. Because the Flash Player runs as a browser plug-in, it is possible to embed Flash Video in web pages and view the video within a web browser. The primary downside of Flash's FLV player is that it is very inefficient compared to a directly embedded video file, dropping frames when running on slow clients that run directly embedded video perfectly. [citation needed]

Format details

Commonly, Flash Video files contain video bit streams which are a variant of the H.263 video standard, under the name of Sorenson Spark. Flash Player 8 and newer revisions support the playback of On2 TrueMotion VP6 video bit streams. On2 VP6 can provide a higher visual quality than Sorenson Spark, especially when using lower bit rates. On the other hand it is computationally more complex and therefore will not run as well on certain older system configurations. Flash Player 9 Update 3 includes support for H.264 video standard (also known as MPEG-4 part 10, or AVC) which is even more computationally demanding, but offers significantly better quality/bitrate ratio.

The Flash Video file format supports two versions of a so called 'screenshare' codec which is an encoding format designed for screencasts.[citation needed] Both these formats are bitmap tile based, can be lossy by reducing color depths and are compressed using zlib. The second version is only playable in Flash Player 8 and newer.[citation needed]

Support for encoding Flash Video files is provided by an encoding tool included with Adobe's Macromedia Flash Professional 8 product, On2's Flix encoding tools, Sorenson Squeeze, FFmpeg and other third party tools.[citation needed]

Audio in Flash Video files is usually encoded as MP3.[citation needed] However, Flash Video files recorded from the user's microphone use the proprietary Nellymoser codec.[citation needed] FLV files also support uncompressed audio or ADPCM format audio.[citation needed] Recent versions of Flash Player 9 support AAC (HE-AAC/AAC SBR, AAC Main Profile, and AAC-LC).[1]

On August 20, 2007, Adobe announced on its blog that with Update 3 of the Flash Player 9 (released), Flash Video will also support the MPEG-4 international standard. [2] Specifically, Flash Player will have support for video compressed in H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10), audio compressed using AAC (MPEG-4 Part 3), the MP4, M4V, M4A, 3GP and MOV multimedia container formats (MPEG-4 Part 14), 3GPP Timed Text specification (MPEG-4 Part 17) which is a standardized subtitle format and partial parsing support for the 'ilst' atom which is the ID3 equivalent iTunes uses to store metadata.[citation needed]

A Flash Player 9 update including a new MP4 H.264 component was released on December 3, 2007.[3]

File formats

Because of restrictions in the .flv format, Adobe Systems has created new file formats listed below. Flash player does not check the extension of the file, but rather looks inside the file to detect which format it is.[2]

File Extension Mime Type Description
.f4v video/mp4 Video for Adobe Flash Player
.f4p video/mp4 Protected Video for Adobe Flash Player
.f4a audio/mp4 Audio for Adobe Flash Player
.f4b audio/mp4 Audio Book for Adobe Flash Player

Codec support

FLV players

An FLV player is a type of media player that is used for playing flash video from PC as well as from Internet websites. An FLV player can be used standalone, without the need of the Adobe Flash authoring or developmental tools.

The following players support FLV files in their default installations:

Free Software

Desktop-based

Windows, Mac OS X, Linux-based
Windows, Linux-based
Linux-based

Web-based

Freeware

Desktop-based

Windows

If ffdshow DirectShow codecs are installed on a Windows system, other software applications may also be able to play flv files:

Mac OS X

Web and Desktop

Web-based

  • FV H.264 FLV Ads Player (freeware H.264 FLV Advertising Supported Player by FLV Hosting)
  • Sonettic Cinema FLV Player (freeware and commercial versions in SWF)
  • Free RIPE FLVPlayer (html Pre/Post/Mid roll supported ,requires registration to download)

Recorders

Flash Video is often delivered via an embedded Flash file, though there are various stream recorders available.

Delivery options

Flash Video files can be delivered in several different ways:

  • As a standalone .FLV file. Although Flash Video files are normally delivered using a Flash player for control, the .FLV file itself is fully-functional on its own and can be played or converted to other formats from local storage such as a hard disk or a CD.

  • Progressive download via HTTP (supported in Flash Player 7 and later). This method uses ActionScript to include an externally hosted Flash Video file client-side for playback. Progressive download has several advantages, including buffering, use of generic HTTP servers, and the ability to reuse a single SWF player for multiple Flash Video sources. Flash Player 8 includes support for random access within video files using the partial download functionality of HTTP, sometimes this is referred to as streaming. However, unlike streaming using RTMP, HTTP "streaming" does not support real-time broadcasting. Streaming via HTTP requires a custom player and the injection of specific Flash Video metadata containing the exact starting position in bytes and timecode of each keyframe.

The server-side part of this "HTTP pseudo-streaming" method is fairly simple to implement, for example in PHP, as an Apache_HTTP_Server, or a lighttpd.
  • Streamed via RTMP to the Flash Player using the Flash Media Server (formerly called Flash Communication Server), VCS, ElectroServer, Wowza Pro, WebORB for .NET or the open source Red5 server. As of April 2008, there are stream recorders available for this protocol, re-encoding screencast software excluded.
