What is the best way to transcode audio and video to show on the web? I need to do it programmatically. I'd like to do something like YouTube or Google Video where users can upload whatever format they want, and I encode it to flv, mp3, and/or mp4. I could do it on our server, but I would rather use an EC2 instance or even a web ser...
I'm trying to the the flv Flash player from here in a windows forms application. I currently have it playing 1 .flv file with no problems but I really need to be able to play multiple files. Has anyone had experienace of using the playlists that this control offers or is there a better way to do this? ...
I need to build something that starts serving a H.264 encoded video to a flash player halfway through the file (to support skipping to a point in the video that has not been buffered yet). Currently, the videos are in the FLV container format, but transcoding is an option. I managed to re-write the file header and metadata information ...
Hi, I'm looking for a way to extract the audio part of a FLV file. I'm recording from the user's microphone and the audio is encoded using the Nellymoser Asao Codec. This is the default codec and there's no way to change this. DISCLAIMER : I'm not attempting to do anything illegal (like stealing copyrighted content...). This is a bus...
Part of a new product I have been assigned to work on involves server-side conversion of the 'common' video formats to something that Flash can play. As far as I know, my only option is to convert to FLV. I have been giving ffmpeg a go around, but I'm finding a few WMV files that come out with garbled sound (I've tried playing with the ...
I have video that I've converted to FLV format. I'd rather host it on my own site than use a service like YouTube. What is the easiest player to use? I'd like to just put the .swf file of the player somewhere on my server, and give it the video as a parameter. ...
With previous versions of flash, entering the full screen mode increased the height and width of the stage to the dimensions of the screen. Now that hardware scaling has arrived, the height and width are set to the dimensions of the video (plus borders if the aspect ratio is different). That's fine, unless you have controls placed over...
I've been looking into the FlowPlayer recently for a new project. What other alternatives are out there (Free OR Paid)? I'm interested in speed, usability, features, and customization capabilities. Any help or further information is appreciated. ...
Is it possible to play video from data that has been embedded in a swf at compile time (with the [Embed] metatag)? The "Import Video->Embed" feature provided by Flash CS3 etc. is not acceptable because it has many severe limitations (including sound synchronization issues, a maximum number of frames, and other caveats) I'm interested i...
I'm looking for a simple way to grab thumbnails of FLVs in ASP.NET, without having to change any permissions/settings on the server. Ideally, nothing is installed on the server machine, but if necessary, small tools such as FFmpeg are fine. I've tried FFmpeg using the command-line tool with Process.Start, but the same command that works...
I need to display a small (15x15 pixel) animation in a Flex app. I have it FLV format, but it could be converted to somthing else. I'd prefer to have the file embedded in the app (it's only 8k in size). I've seen posts about displaying animated GIFs using third-party code which would be OK, but is there a way to do this with the nativ...

I've seen a few sites that have a flash app which takes video from the users webcam and manipulates it. One example is the flash barcode reader http://www.renaun.com/flex2/BarcodeReader/BarcodeReader.html . I want users to be able to submit 10-15 second clips which I can save to my server and then play back later via flash again. Can ...
I'm looking to setup video uploads for users on a site and want to have them viewed through a Flash player. The site is already partially built (by someone else) and I'm wondering what kind of technologies there are to deal with the video files, specifically in PHP. I'm thinking the files need to be converted to an FLV. After that I thi...
What is the best approach to play a sequence of flv video files in Flash (with actionscript)? My goal is to have the transitions occur as smoothly as possible. Currently i'm using the netStream class and capturing the onStatus events to play the next video when the current video has reached it's end duration. Althought this approach wor...
I need to embed videos on a client's website and they have given the following guidelines: must be viewable as flash (FLV format) if hosted by outside company (e.g. Youtube) the video can not link back to the outside company's website if hosted by outside company (e.g. Youtube) the video can not have any advertisements of the outside c...
Is it OK to use XSPF for video content? If not, what else should be used? I am targeting flash players, including Jeroen Wijering's JW FLV media player. ...
The idea is download a video in parts (from different servers) but starting to play before video file is complete. The issue is that VideoDisplay component doesn't read the video file if it is opened for writing and vice-versa: writing is impossible if VideoDisplay plays the video... ...
Using the JW player, streaming flv via rtmp. I am also using the snell.swf skin. When I click on full screen, then return to normal I am seeing the menu for the currently playing item indent. Any ideas what is causing this? Also sometimes seeing menu items highlighted which are not the currently playing ones. Any ideas here as well? ...
I'm looking at options for adding streaming video to a social web site written in ASP.NET/C#. I have a great deal of experience with Flash too, so I'm comfortable using FLV players, but I'd definitely go Silverlight if the right library is available. The library would need to be able to encode user uploaded video in a web format. I ima...
