If you want to play the video inside of Flex, you will need to convert it to FLV… hands down.  A lot of people on this newsgroup mention FFmpeg for video conversion (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/).  You might want to look at that.

KP,

You are correct that the Flex 2 mx.controls.VideoDisplay and the flash.media.Video that it utilizes are FLV only (either streaming via FMS or progressive).

Regarding running video files with different formats (.mov,.mpeg,wmv,etc.), yes that was commonplace with Flash prior to the introduction of the FLV format with Flash Player 6.

I came up with the following after googling:  Flash Quicktime
Integrating Flash and QuickTime for Dynamic Media Delivery

If you can integrate Flash with the playback of other video formats, surely you can do it with Flex 2.  But I advise that you should not expect components from Adobe for supporting streaming formats other than FLV.  Not with FLV now so ubiquitous, and with the solid quality with the FLV On2 codec introduced with Flash 8.

If others do not post with more here about integrating Flex in players for other video formats, you might try posting also on the Flashcoders list.

hth,

Hi All,

But what I found when I tried to use video controller that is present in flex components it supports only flv formats files.

 

Is there any way of running video files with different formats.

 

Please Help.

 

Thanks
