I've got a client asking me if it's possible to create a sort of video switcher -- where users choose shots - and then export to a file. I think something like this is possible in Flash Media Server, but unsure?
There was another response to this, but I think that was more geared toward services - the Premier Express and Brightcode Aftermix. Those are online editors that user the server for all video encoding work. Sure, there's interactive previews of things and whatnot, but no encoding or 'saving to file' going on in those interfaces.
The only actual FLV editor that really can save a new FLV file out is the FLV editor at richapps.de. Even then, it's segmenting the elements and using originally encoded footage - so no re-encoding is going on. You could technically write an FLV encoder in AS3 but it would be so horribly slow.
FMS can stream from in-out points of multiple video files, but you're not going to get any transitions or other stuff going on.
