There should be a way when compressing video to specify just how many keyframes you want. And yes in order to seek to specific positions you will need to add more keyframes. Flash whether through FCS or on disc only seeks to keyframes.
You could use the flash Video Encoder to add in keyframes at specific points as well.

I found that you need really high frame rates, or a lot of keyframes. because flash uses the closest keyframe to whatever seek time you go to. so if I have a 30 second video encoded at 30fps. there is only like 2 keyframes. so when this is the case if you seek it only goes to either the very beginning of the video or the very end, I have tested this with my components and macromedia's standard components. there isn't any in between. I have read about this in various place and what not. I just wanted to hear from somebody else who also had experience with this issue. the solution is just to export flv's at a high frame rate. so you get way more keyframes. right? after sayng and asking that. how does youtube seek? they must be using flash media server that has some more capabilities?? _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
