Black Magic DOES NOT support Flash Media Encoder . . . I just spent 2 hours on the phone with them . . .
Question: Do you support Adobe Media Encoder?
Answer: No
Question: When do you think you will support it?
Answer: I can not answer that question
Man the Decklink Studio is the perfect low cost encoder . . . I wish they supported it . . .

I just got off the phone with Blackmagic support -
I bought two Blackmagic Intensity Pro cards hoping to run two instances of FMLE at once, which they informed I probably would not be able to do... Apparently applications need to have some specific code which distinguishes between the two cards? I've confirmed this doesn't work, the first instance of the FMLE is able to select either of the cards but the second instance is unable to access the remaining card.
While we were on the phone, they also told me about the unresolved audio bug... which I hadn't run into yet. Sadly, this awesome video input card doesn't seem like it'll work for the FMLE anytime soon. : (

Hello,
My name is Felix Kolotinsky and I am FAE at AVerMedia Technologies, Inc USA office.
AVerMedia has a product AVerTVHD DVR that works with Flash Media Live Encoder 3.1, AVerTVHD DVR is capable to capture HD quality up to 1080i from build int HDMI, Component YPbPr and Analog from S-Video and Composite.
If you are interested, here is link to product description http://www.avermedia-usa.com/AVerTV/product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=482
Below is screenshot that I took from FMLE using AVerTVHD DVR, my source was HDMI from Direct TV Set top box, in this case I was encoding in 1080i source into 720x480, you can Encode up to 1080i, however this requires Quad Core CPU
If you are interested, please contact me directly: felix.kolotinsky@avermedia.com and I will assist you with setup.
Enjoy,
Felix Kolotinsky

I ordered a card and will look to try it out in a week or so.
I think the company we use for the Flash server and CDN to re-broadcast will love to hear about some positive feedback. They have been looking into this for Live Concert Broadcasts over the internet. We have been looking to send video from our confrences back to the home office or to resources that are un-able to attend. Will this work with PAL as well as NTSC? Our EU people would like to do the same.
Hopefully getting FMLE working with this card isn't going to be too hard. I'm very excited as the Blackmagic card was a complete bust.

Sean,
AVerTVHD DVR does support capturing Analog in NTSC and PAL, as well as any other Analog formats.

Hello all,
I have the Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card with dongle, and use FME 3.0 to stream my 360,PC, and Tv if I wanted too, to justin.tv all the time with no problems...actually i should say the only problems i have are that my internet's upload bandwidth is terrible so it does get a little choppy at times. The problems people are having is that the Intensity cards need to be properly set up before you try to use them with FME. You can do a search on google for blackmagic intensity + justin.tv and find a good tutorial. Your NOT going to be able to output in HD, as the FME doesn't allow for the input of such material. And you will need to tweak your card's input/output settings from the device configuration software NOT the capturing software that comes with it. I may get a tutorial posted on my website sometime this week. I am just getting started with my website so it's nothing at all but a hodgepodge of stuff i've created and am interested in. But it does have a link to my justin.tv broadcast as well as my youtube vids that will show the capture's i've taken.
PS. Audio issues, I'm not exactly what audio issues people are having. When i bought the card i did my homework and found that audio capturing is NOT supported on this card, while it will allow you to pass the audio thru to another device, Blackmagic specifically states that this is the only way for audio capturing to be done. Anymore questions feel free to ask away and i'll try and answer them. I love the card and have no problems with it.
had it in an AMD 64+ computer with 2 gig of ram and standard 7200 rpm western digital sata harddrive using their provided Motion JPG Codec and was able to rip full 1080i and 720p content no problems, no drop frames. Now it's been upgraded to a dual quadcore intel box with 8 gig of ram, and same sata harddrives no raid configuration and again no problems no dropped frames.
Hope this helps,
Steelahlive

Hi Steelahive.
Have you progressed any further on a tutorial for tweaking Black Magic intensity with FMLE?
Really keen to know!

I put together a quick video - there is no audio but it's pretty easy to follow, just make sure your settings are exactly as they are on my screen..

Hi,
The link is dead so I couldn't watch the video. And I was wandering if you got it working to capture 720P over component? Or HDMI. currently want to setup a 720P stream or even if possible a 1080P stream. But can't figure it out how to get a higher resolution within FMLE than PAL. Not with component nor HDMI.
hope you can help me out?

I have exactly same problem. But solution provided by Steve, still does not allow higher resolution than 720. I just tested the latest FME 3.0.1, and it gives only options for 720x486 and 720x576 and says "Frame rate not supported". FME 2.5 works with 1920x1080 and Intensity, but can only use single CPU cores for resizing and encoding.
Does anybody know, what Adobe says about that?

I think something has broken up in FMLE 3.0 because of which it is not able to work at HD sizes but FMLE 2.5 does. So if you want to encode at HD sizes than you can resize SD size in FMLE 3.0 because Resize filter is multicore in FMLE 3.0

The video doesn't work for me.
I can get video output from the blackmagic media express software.
set to 1080i 59.94
The control panel for the blackmagic is set to 720p HD to SD letterbox 16:9 downconvert....
But when I launch the FMLE i just get a blank screen.
I'm told there is an ACC plugin to fix the audio isssu. HDMI is outputing sound at higher then 44100 so you need a plugin to deal with that...
But my probelm is with the video... I don't get a video stream....
Hell it would be nice if FMLE would support 1900x1080 and not make me mess around with all this....
anyone hanve any ideas?
Using Intensity card and a sony HD hdr-sr12 as video source over HDMI
Help?

Sean, if you are using Vista or Windows 7 try running FMLE as administrator.
The other thing to try would be to fiddle around with the FPS and size settings. Basically as you adjust settings FMLE will attempt to use whatever you set it to and if that fails, will default to some other value. So for e.g. if your input source is SD this is probably at 29.97fps (or whatever it is) so if you set FPS to 60, FMLE will first attempt the higher frame rate, then default to (what is usually) the correct one.

There is a bug in FMLE 3.0 that it does not work on HD sizes for BM cards because of which you are not able to select HD input in FMLE from BM card.
Lets hope this gets fixed sooner in FMLE

I am struggling with exactly same problem. You can get downconverted video, but if your camera outputs 1080i, you need to choose 1080i HD to SD anarmorphic 16:9 downconvert. That way you can get 720x486 size of video, but for me, it makes the image blurry. Let me know, how does it work for you?
In case you have MAC available, you could get FME 3.1, which I have seen from comments works good with Intensity Pro and supports HD.

So there doesn't seem to be any fix coming soon.

I have tried working with FMLE and BlackMagic Intensity card. But I am not able to get audio out from the card at SD size.
What I understood from this thread is that FMLE does not support HD sizes from BlackMagic cards but I am facing issues in audio at SD sizes as well.
When I am selecting DV input in my Sony Camcoder and providing the input to BlackMagic Intensity card through HDMI cable, I am not getting any audio signal in FMLE.
I am selecting Video signal at 720x576 size but is not getting any audio.
Is anybody else also facing a similar issue ?
Please help.

So it would seem that the FMLE is buggy as can be.. On my multiple screen setup I noticed if
I draged the FMLE app onto another screen the app crashed or at least stopped streaming out...
Seems app has to run on primary screen or it doesn't work.
Ok since this is obviously not working what other options are there?
All I want to do is to stream out to a server
FMS URL ftmp://servername.domain.com/folder/_something_ with a stream name that means something to the server.
So... what other programs do this?
I'm new to all this so I just would like to find the best encoder that could use HDMI from the blackmagic as the source....
