Re: [Red5] Info about Red5 capabilities and mp3 recording

Well technically that’s a load of bunkum! I have a legal installation of FMS, with the developer licence as do most of us here I’m sure. Sounds to me like Adobe is starting to bite when it comes to things like Macromedia/Adobe Labs! Tying up the transcoder in a licensing trap would be a cool way for them to add a little added value to an FMS install and point of difference from open source.

 

Nellymoser just don’t want anything capable of transcoding their codec out in the wild unless they earn a buck from it! I think it’s time Flash opened up Codec wise, seems to me commercially they have little to gain sticking to closed technologies for things like this.

No worries, not even sure if I'm in the right thread, hehe!

 

Quoted from Steve Wolkoff from Adobe on the Chattyfig Flashcom list:

"...We have not been able to release the FLV / MP3 converter due to
restrictions in our Nelly Moser license agreement. While prepping the
converter for the Labs release, we reviewed the license agreement with
our Legal team, and found that we can only distribute this tool to be
used with licensed copies of Flash Media Server. If this tool were used
in conjunction with any other server (e.g. Red5) Adobe would be
violating that license agreement. At that point, both we and the end
users of that tool would be in a legally tenuous situation. We're going
to have a Private Beta for this tool, which we are working on setting up
right now. I'm sorry for the delay and lack of communication. I really
wanted to make this tool publicly available, as I think it opens up a
whole range of cool FMS based applications.

@Jay - while I guess this is not technically NM's "fault", we are bound
by the contractual agreements that our licensors have imposed on us.

I will update when we have more information on our Beta program for this
converter.

thanks,

-steve."

It was my understanding, after reading an email from the project manager of FMS, that they have a tool, but it'll only be available for those who have a valid liencse to FMS because of license agreements with Nelly Moser regarding transcoding.  That is why they haven't released it because you could only get it if you had a legal copy of FMS.

 

He posted this like last week.  Is this something different?

 

 

 

Hi, what exactly is the reason for it ? Doesnt live audio streamed recorded to flv only have a particular compression rate / ratio ? or will it be able to uncompress itself and transcode to mp3 of a particular bitrate ? Sorry coming halfway through here.
