[Flashcoders] How does YouTube convert all video formats to Flash format?
I am working on a Flash project that requires the user to upload a video clip. Ideally they should not be restricted to a particular video format so I was hoping for some advice on how to convert different video formats online to flash format. I have seen this done on the YouTube website but have no idea what they are using - anyone know what they are using? Any advice much appreciated!

My guess would be ffmpeg on the server. Take a look here: http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ I've certainly used it successfully for exactly that purpose. It doesn't yet support the newer Flash 8 video codecs, but will quite happily create MX2004 compatible video (which can, of course, be used in player versions 7+).

Dunno how you tube does it but Sorenson Squeeze can be set up to watch a folder and convert stuff that gets dropped in it. If you are running on a foreign OS you could always map a network drive and do it that way. 2007/2/8, Paul Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am working on a Flash project that requires the user to upload a video clip.

This can also be done with the Flix Engine. We have been using this with one of our clients with great success. jord 2007/2/8, Paul Steven [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I am working on a Flash project that requires the user to upload a video clip.
