Question
best (legal) way to record/convert audio
hi,
i'm developing an application that i hope to offer commercially.
i'm interested in finding the best (and least expensive) *legal* method for recording audio using flash media server 3 (whatever version) and then converting it to WAV (e.g., 8kHz, 8-bit mulaw) or a similar format.
i have found a program called ffmpeg, which works very nicely. however, i can not find info on whether this is a legal method for decoding audio in a .flv file for use in a commercial application. (i plan to manipulate the audio on the server side, then stream the result back in mp3 format or something similar.)
are there features in the latest flash clients that i can take advantage of in order to eliminate (or reduce) any license fees? (i can force clients to upgrade their flash clients if necessary.) if not, what company do i have to deal with for licensing, and what's the best approach?
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
