Message: [QUOTE="cwdjrxyz, post: 3408449"] Here is an example of a flv/swf at [URL]http://www.cwdjr.net/flash/Fatty.php[/URL] . The flv file is about 22 MB for this rather long video. The swf container file is only about 12 KB. As I mentioned, the flv must be in the same directory on the server or computer as the swf container file. If you view the source code, you will not see the flv referenced, because this is done within the swf file. The flv file is at [URL]http://www.cwdjr.net/flash/Fatty.flv[/URL]. It can be played alone without the swf container file only if you have a flv player. The video was captured and edited in high resolution mpeg2 format as is often done before burning a DVD. The video has very old sound. When I encoded to flash, the mpeg2 video was used as input. Several other video formats may be used instead for input to the flash encoder. At one stage of encoding, I am offered the option to remove or add audio to the flash. In this case, I chose to keep the audio that came with the video input. In other cases I chose to replace or add audio in the mp3 format. There are many options given for building the swf container portion of flash. Finally when you are finished encoding, you get the output of a swf container file and a flv video file. The exact steps in encoding the the flv/swf depend on the encoder used and can differ considerably for different encoders. [/QUOTE]
