Question

FMS capabilities

Hi,

I have a client who wishes to upload videos and stream them, but the videos could be of any type.

My question is does flash media server come with the tools/capabilities to transcode video to flv, or is this a separate purchase?

Video types to upload aren't finalised yet, however the first video I've been given is .wmv

Any help would be appreciated as I'm trying to scope this project and I need to say whether or not FMS is the route to go down.

Thanks.

    Hi rob,

    The list of video formats supported by Flash Media Server is available here - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/overview_streaming_fms3_03.html

    You cannot stream a .wmv file through FMS as of today. But FMS does provide high end streaming solution for FLV and MPEG complaint file formats.

    Meanwhile, Adobe also provides tools which can be used to convert your video files to Adobe specific formats which can then be streamed through FMS.

    One such tool available is Flash Video Encoder or Adobe Media Encoder. This tool is shipped with the Adobe Creative Suite® products and  enables you to encode your files easily to the required FLV format. You can get a complete description and usage details about the tool here  - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/video_encoder/
