For those of you who are struggling with the flash video encoder's xml cue point feature:

Checkout this utility written in ruby called flvtool2. For those of you with ruby gems already installed you can just do a:

sudo gem install flvtool2

otherwise go get yourself so ruby gems and then do it (I guess that was rather obvious).

Anyways, some guy with a blog did a nice writeup of how to use it:

I'm pretty sure that the above DTD is incorrect. To correct it replace all occurences of #CDATA with #PCDATA. Here's the whole thing:

And like the other two posted; despite my xml being valid, the flv encoder still says it's not.

Here's a reference to where I found an explanation about cdata vs pcdata:

I am having a problem with the XML import file and the software is not giving me any error data. There are no duplicate cue points, and they are in ascending order, however they all have the same name (but that shouldn't matter since you can use the same name if you manually add cue points). But when I try to import, it throws an error as if there were a formatting problem when I've checked 10 times and know that the XML is formatted correctly. The error log does not contain any error data, however if I take out a closing tag or something, it will write to the log file. But it won't show any error data for the error that I am getting. This is definitely a bug in the software. BTW, I'm using an extremely long XML file because we have over a thousand cue points for a 3hour+ video.

I've gotten the errormessage 'The XML file could not be loaded because it is
in an invalid format'... so like I always do I check the xml in FireFox and see
what the culprit is... I fix it and it validates every XML-validator available... but
Flash Video Encoder still throws me the same error... I check if I got the right
file... yes... I change the name of the file... still the same error. Hm... I check
the logfile and it give a detailed explanation of the 'OLD' error.. which is
already corrected by me. So I restart Flash Video Encoder.... I also delete the
ASO-files from within Flash... STILL THE SAME ERROR!!!! Ok... so then I
restarted the computer... checked if everything was fine and I still get the
same error... damn! Adobe... I'm going crazy here! Is this a known bug in
Flash Video Encoder?? Do you guys have a solution? I know I can put in the
cue-points manually but they are too many and I've got them all delivered in
XML.... HELP!!!!
