    yup, i see the same problem. get flvmdi/flvmdigui here
    http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/
    then just run it through and create a new flv. I selected include keyframes and inject onlastsecond event and it ran fine for me after that.

    regards,

    .flv files are placed in:

    Server\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash Media Server 2\applications\createUniqueFolder\streams\_definst_\

    Then create a flash application using Flash 8 Pro and the FLVPlayback component. The video path used for the component would be:

    rtmp://serverpath/uniqueFolderName/video.flv

    If you have the path incorrect the FLVPlayback component will bark at you on the spot. If it doesn't work, post the server path where you placed the video and the path used in the FLVPlayback component to target the video.

    If the FLVPlayback component didn't bark at you, just test your swf and see what you get. Good Luck. Let me know if this answers your question.

    I've used youtube retrieval sites to download files and have had no problems publishing them.
    Can you point us to a URL of the swf file that isn't working?

    thanks,
