I need to convert a wmv to flv. I have heard that if you just use Flash import video it will cause the filesize to increase. What is the best way to convert?I have looked at lots of software both pc and mac (i prefer mac) but they all seem to be costly. Are there any free solutions?

I've got a website where the users can upload avi's, mpgs etc and I want to convert them to flash on the fly on my hosts server. Do I need special software to do this or can I do it using PHP?
Lastly, I look at facebook and the quality of their video conversion is really good. Does anyone know if they are using flash video? I know that youtube does and not really that impressed with their quality.
I ask google about this,but didn't find anything usefull. Is there a way to creat web app in flex that will convert video to flv,after that video is uploaded to the server?Can this be done with flex,if can,do I still need to install ffmpeg on server?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to convert some flv files to swf so I can place them on my online course. I'm working with Flash CS4. This is what I have done so far.
1) I embedded the flv files into a new project.
2) And then I just exported the file as a movie.
This worked well but only to an extent. There is about 10 seconds worth of dead time at the start of some of my videos, and they automatically loop themselves, when the loop feature is not on.
I have created a slideshow in flash 8 for my website, though the file needs to be a .flv. I've read lots of similar posts, tried some trial versions of converters and .swf decompilers, and it seems that you either need to buy a converter, or buy quicktime pro to achieve this. I'm just wondering if there are any alternatives, or if perhaps some kind fellow out there would be willing to convert it for me? The .swf file is attached, if any passing samaritan is feeling charitable.

View 1 RepliesIf I create a .swf video and then embed it in my webiste the video doesn't play. The placeholder for the flash player is blank on the screen. But if I load a .swf file that is a slideshow or has animation then it plays in the flash player just fine. I am creating in an ASP.net environment using Visual Studio 2008. I have tried everything. I've published using Flash CS4, I've tried using the SWFObject, I ve tried javascript and its all the same. Videos just don't play but any other .swf file will.
View 2 RepliesWhat I want to do is inserting and ad inside a flv video in my website, such as youtube is doing early, or insert a publicity video BEFORE the real one begins, without letting the possibility of quiting the ad. It has to be called apart by code, and I don't really know if it's possible.
View 2 RepliesSo, I'm working on my portfolio, and I'm basically learning how to code as I go. Unfortunately, an essential element of my site is coded in AS 2.0 (a 3D carousel effect), and I'm really having trouble converting it to AS 3.0 (I'd keep it as 2.0, but 3.0 shows so much more promise for future expansion).[code]
View 3 RepliesI've spent countless hours looking for a simple, easy to use solution to convert WMV files over to FLV, and I'm having a hell of a time. The "wmv to flv" market seems to be cornered by sleazy companies promising "easy" solutions with software that either costs money and isn't guaranteed to work, or is offered free with loads of spyware. That aside, I've heard about ffmpeg and attempted to look at the documentation, only to feel a bit overwhelmed simply because it seems like they've written it for people who already work with that sort of thing (from command line).
I'm just wondering if there's a solution that anyone is aware of that a) doesn't cost money, or if it does, at least provides a non-spyware/malware/virus loaded test version to verify that the program actually does what it's supposed to do, and b) doesn't require some sort of contextual knowledge of linux or command line scripting in order to run a simple conversion.
What I'm asking is, as a user starting with a single .wmv file, how would I, from start to finish, get it into an .flv format?
I'm a senior in High School and I need to send in animations on a DVD for some of the colleges I'm applying to. The thing is, I have no clue how to get my flash animations onto a DVD.I have Flash MX, and I have been told to go to publish settings > convert in Flash 5 mode and to choose quicktime on the publishing list. But so far, this doesn't make a real video- it seems to still be a flash movie.
So please, how do I convert flash movies to video? And then to DVD. What free programs can make a full quality convertion? It goes without saying I need to get this done before a deadline,
I have a .fla file that was created in CS5 and so wont open in my CS4.

View 1 RepliesI have a 3.5MB SWF that points to ~80 FLVs that range in size from 3MB to 10MB.
Is there a way I can package all of these files into one ~500MB file that can be run locally? My client wants sales people to take this app around with them on their laptops and not require the internet and I don't want them to have 100 files to mess with.
I am working on a site that is intended to stream two or more flv simultaneously. The slightly different header clip should renew on entry to each page. When I publish the fla file it plays as intended. When I upload the swf file to the web only one of the videos are playing back. It does not matter if I import the video to a timeline, or stream it progressively from the server. Both clips are uploaded.

View 2 RepliesI'm using CS3 to try to put two .flv videos on the same .swf page, BUT only one will go full screen no matter which video skin button to go fullscreen I press, and all the rest of the buttons on the skin work for the appropriate video. I recall in Actionscript 2.0, in the component settings for the video you could change the field name in the schema to play multiple videos in a .swf file, wondered if AS3 had similar setting for fullscreen.

View 1 RepliesI need to find the length of a flash video hosted on any of the popular video sharing websites. Is this possible?
How does Blinkx determine length of the videos it has indexed?
We would like to display flash video files (tutorials) on our Sharepoint site.Problem is, we cannot seem to either stop it from auto-playing (using the Windows Media Player) or start it playing by clicking (using flash embed).We have a Content Editor WebPart with this code currently:

<PARAM NAME=movie VALUE="video.swf">

is it possible to mix videos and webcamera streams in flash to send them to flash media server as one stream?
Forexample put two webcamera streams side-by side and send them to server as one steam.
I have some FLV videos was to play on web (play in a flash player, e.g. JWPlayer). How can I protect it? I do not want someone else to download these videos.The videos was high secret! Only allow play on my website.
View 3 RepliesI want to create a website displaying grid-sorted videos (interviews - movies showed in rows and columns). I want it to be 'a page with talking heads'. When users clicks on a video it starts playing. I consider two ways:
The whole website made in flash - dynamically assigned number of videos per row/column and page, depending on the user's screen resolution. Website made in php/html with help of JS and CSS - videos are displayed by YouTube player or other player e.g. JW Player - videos position depends on screen resolution.
I have Adobe Flash CS5 but haven't a clue how to convert videos. I also got out my install disks and added Adobe After Effects with Media Encoder as well. Though I thought there would be a standalone Media Encoder app... I cannot seem to find it.
