Re: [Flashcoders] Playing Flash video in slow-motion
Nice catch Paul Andrews... When you are spreading out the frames you spread out the peaks and valleys in the audio sample; thus, in my understanding, because you are extending time, there is no way of keeping the audio sound similar to the original sample without losing sync to the frames. With regard to playing the flv in slow motion, my thoughts are: */_1_/.* If you are using the same flv, what you could do is calculate how slow you want it, say 1/2 regular speed, and then take the amount of frames you have per second, say 30 fps, and you know you have to play each frame twice (or reducing playback to 15 fps whilst still using the original amount of frames and audio sample), in order to extend the 1 second sample over 2 seconds. Typing this idea confused me for a moment. */_2._/* If you are using a high quality high fps video for the slow motion section, you might just want to stream in the entire low quality lower fps flv in, have the high quality slow mode flv, with double the frames recorded and displayable, only be called when it is needed, and play the lower fps flv in slow mode, using the idea above */_1_/* , until the high quality section has buffered enough. What do you think? any other ideas?

Re: [Flashcoders] Playing Flash video in slow-motion
Hi Paul, Thank you for your reply. Just how can you play a sound slowly without altering the pitch? Thanks, I overlooked this important implementation detail. Keep a separate swf with the sound recorded slowly but with lowered pitch. The video player loads both the video swf (with regular sound) and the sound-only swf file (with slow sound). Then, when the slow button is clicked, play the video swf slowly with no sound, and simultaneously play the sound-only swf file at a synchronized location. Maybe this would work with the flv solution so long as the sound-only file is kept in swf format or in flv but streamed through a flash media server instance, so that seeking could be done to non-keyframe locations.

Suppose you are learning a foreign language, and the video contains somebody speaking quickly. It might be useful to slow down the video to hear them. Most language video of this type is purpose made with people who speak at an appropriate speed for the learner. I guess that such projects will just exclude video that has people speaking too quickly.

Re: [Flashcoders] Playing Flash video in slow-motion
Andy, This is an excellent suggestion. However, there is a detail that I failed to share at first which results in a couple of disadvantages: the video must play at normal speed usually and have a slow button that slows down playing. The resulting disadvantages: 1. When the slow button is clicked, the player needs to load the slow FLV, so it will have to buffer for a few seconds first. 2. When the slow button is clicked and the slow FLV finishes loading and buffering, the player will need to seek to the nearest keyframe. So the user will click the slow button and, depending on the keyframe metadata, the video might end up playing in slow motion starting from a few seconds earlier. Any ideas about circumventing these downsides? Thanks again for your suggestion. In spite of its obviousness I honestly hadn't thought of it before.
