Hello

I'm trying to upload a video to my flash website (www.vishgraphics.com) and i'm having some issues.  I can't seem to upload an FLV/F4V file to my server.  However, I am able to uploaded an swf file, but i can't convert my video file that ins F4V format to swf.  Do i just need to convert the file or are there more detailed steps involved in uploading the video.   Also, if i have to covert the file to swf, can someone please recommend a good software that i can download free from the net.

thank you

vish

    You probably don't want to change the FLV/F4V to SWF - you may need to embed it in a SWF. If you do find you are able to upload an F4V or FLV, you will still need a SWF to play the video. There is a great article by Tim Siglin on streaming media that goes into FLV/F4V and SWF - http://streamingmedia.com/article.asp?id=11170 that may be a good starting point.
