FLV video

[Ultra Pulse]

How do you make a .mov or some other movie type file into a .FLV? Is it possible to do it in KM?

[blanius]

Cannot do it in KM but there is a RIVA encoder that is free (search forum) and I use FLIX but it now cost a good bit.

I heard a rumor that the webcam functions can compress / muxe a
"live" feed to flv... That is most likely false.
I used RIVA a few times for my own vids...

Sorry to change the thread...
But, does Flash 7 have webcam use? [Or is it shockwave?]
If Flash 7+ does have it, how do we use it?

Video class
Availability

Flash Player 6; the ability to play Flash Video (FLV) files was added in Flash Player 7.
Description

The Video class lets you display live streaming video on the Stage without embedding it in your SWF file. You capture the video by using Camera.get(). In files published for Flash Player 7 and later, you can also use the Video class to play back Flash Video (FLV) files over HTTP or from the local file system. For more information, see the NetConnection class and NetStream class entries.For more information, see Playing back external FLV files dynamically and the NetConnection class and NetStream class entries.

Do the flv have IDE tags like the mp3's? Or does the names of the video's have to be hard coded in?

[blanius]

Not exactly but they have "meta" tags and they can be read sorta like id3 tags. There is a tutorial somewhere on adding tags http://www.creativecow.net/cgi-bin/page_wrapper.cgi?forumid=190&page=/articles/brimelow_lee/flv_meta_injection/index.html

And Brandts code shows how to read them
