Question

Record using On2 instead of Sorenson

I am under the impression that by default, FMS2 will use the Sorenson codec for captured/recorded video in its .flv files. I am trying to instead capture video through FMS2 using the On2 codec. How/where can I change this configuration setting? I went through all of the .xml configuration files in the "conf" subdirectory under the FMS2 installation folder. To my disappointment, I was unable to find any setting to do this.

Can someone help? Thanks!

    On2 does provide Live VP6 encoding as a pricey SDK for Desktop application development.

    The license for Crispa is expensive. The lack of mp3 encoding is a major shortcoming... especially considering the $7k+ price of the application.

    FFMPEG supports the sorenson codecs, but I haven't used it for transcoding FCS/FMS recroded video. The sloppy part here is that the video would be transcoded with FFMPEG, and the audio with Crispa... and then they need to be stiched back together.

    You cant record vp6 video with the Flashplayer client. The encoder is not part of the player, nor is it part of FMS.

    Curently, you can only record Sorenson video and Nellymoser Asao encoded audio with Flashplayer and FMS

    Ok, well that makes perfect sense. I already know about the audio and have already written a DLL wrapper to Nellymoser's Win32 SDK to extract the audio from the .flv, and it's working good. It's a trial version so I haven't paid any money for a license, and have no idea what the license costs at this point. The issue I was having is trying to play an FMS .flv through a filter graph with DirectShow. My FLV decoder is for On2, and it obviously wasn't working with the FMS .flv (I say FMS .flv, but in reality it's encoded by the player. This I realize. It's just that the sorenson and nellymoser codec combination only occurs when you encode through the flash player/client).

    Thanks for your help. I'll have to find a FLV Sorenson transform filter to get these files to work w/ DirectShow. If you know any, please let me know :-) Thanks again!
