Hey Guys,
I am developing a p2p video streaming project in my school. I have reached a point where the peer in the net gets the RAW BYTE STREAM. This raw byte stream is to be converted to Flash file format (.flv / SWF) for playing. Also the project demands that even if the file is not biffered and if the user wants to start the file playback from the non-buffered point of time it should happen. Can you guys please throw some light on this? Also is the conversion from raw byte stream to .flv / swf nothng but encoding???
Please help me with the basics.
Thanks.
Salil.

    you are able to convert from a raw byte stream to a .flv??? how exactly are you acomplishing that ? will you send all the code you are using to. calm_chess_player@hotmail.com? ...........also if you want to play back the .flv from a specific point in time you use cue points .....you could dynamically create a cue point say ever 30 seconds then the user could choose what point in time they want to go back to ....or you could use a rewind button that rewinds to cue points but that would be choppy don't think you can make a smooth rewind button ...well maybe you could create a cue point for every second of the movie or every frame even. i'd be happy to explore this with you more if you send me the code you are using i can't really do much without it.
