Question

automatically exporting to flv formats.

Hi,

I was wondering how one goes about converting a .mov or non-.flv file format to .flv automatically without user intervention rather than using Flash video econder to do the job? Are there a set of API's that can be used for this? Is there a way for a web application to take an uploaded video file, call into some API's to convert it to .flv and then store it on the web server for progressive download or streaming?

Any help on this would be appreciated.

    There's a few programs out there that will handle server side conversion.

    On2 Flix Engine ( http://www.on2.com)
    Sorenson Squeeze ( http://sorensonmedia.com)
    FFMPEG ( http://ffmpeg.org)

    Regardless of the solution you choose, you'll need to use an application server like php or asp to handle the upload and calls to the conversion program.
