  • Black Bars On Export TO FLV

    Posted by Andy Osborn on June 6, 2009 at 7:52 pm

    Hi There,

    I have shot some video in widescreen PAL format on my nice new Canon XHA1 camera. I have captured in Premiere and it plays back fine (project settings: Pixel apsect ration=DV1/DV PAL Widescreen 16:9, Dimensions=720×576, frames per second=25fps).

    I have encoded the flv file using Flash 8 On Codex for the dimensions i want which is 460 x 259. The final exported file has a thin line at the top and bottom. The flash video player is set at 460×279 (the extra twenty pixels for the player control). Can anyone tell me why I might be getting these thin black lines top and bottom of the file?

    Here is the URL:

    Thank in advance for any suggestions.

    Are the black bars there when you play the FLV itself with a standalone FLV player, or is it only when it plays in the web player?

    460 x 259 is not divisible by 16×9. try 460×260 which is still not 16×9 but closer

    Thank for the info…. I decided to use the width of 460 – really just of the top of my head. I used the following ratio aspect calculator to work out what the height would be:

    It came out as 259.

    Am I doing somethng wrong in trying to calculate the ratio? Can the width be ANY dimension or does it need to be able to divide by 16 equally?
