FLV metadata contains it's dimensions, provided if right tool was used to encode the video to FLV. In any case, you can use open-source tool called flvtool2 (it's written in ruby and open-source) and hook it with your Upload process, so you can run this tool on uploaded flv file. This way, you can inject most of the metadata in flv and read it from Flex/ActionScript while playback starts.
I am sure, there are such tools available in PHP/C#/Java, just search for it. Burak (of ASV fame) has written FLVMDI, that can be used also along with CFEXECUTE (if your are using windows as server), if you are using linux based server, you might check for RUBY on your server and use flvtool2. -abdul On Jan 10, 2008 5:29 PM, Anzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have a Flex app that will allow users to upload FLV videos.
