flv stream decoding, 3gp encoding

Question

Are there any open source projects in any language and other recourses that I need to look at in order to implement flv to 3gp conversion? It's better to be streaming, I mean return first portion of 3gp before last portion of flv is downloaded.

Or are there any similar services already implemented - my goal is to have something like http://converter.org?source=sourceUrl.flv&targetFormat=3gp that I can feed to 3gp player, in my case - on iPhone, and not wait until server downloads entire flv.

UPDATE: ffmpeg does really good job here, just

ffmpeg -i input.flv output.mp4

and that's it. But output file can be used only after conversion is done. Streaming is still an open question. There is ffserver that does some sort of streaming but I could not make it work.

Answer 1

I'm not sure if it is possible, but if there's one thing that should do it. it's http://www.ffmpeg.org/ ..

it can convert anything to anything on an online platform. don't know if it supports streaming but definitely the best solution for online video conversion
