Then, how does MX SDK V2 work? How to create an FLV, AAC/H.264 MP4, and SWF with this SDK? As long as you are moving on following exactly what the “Help document” integrated in the program, you are sure to make it.
The following is a rough demonstration of conversion from myvideo.avi to myflv.flv.
Source video: myvideo.avi Path: D:Documents and SettingsyukiDesktop
Target flv: myflv.flv Path: E:myflv.flv
Target SWF:myswf.swf Path: E:myswf.swf
OK, start and run the application:
Type in the command: flashvideomx –s “D:Documents and SettingsyukiDesktopmyvideo.avi” “E: myflv.flv”, and press “Enter” to start the conversion.
Convert the output myflv.flv to myswf.swf:
Type in the command: FLV2SWF “E: myflv.flv” “E: myswf.swf”, and press “Enter” to launch the FLV to SWF conversion.
The command lines above are basically for conversion, and a lot of advanced functions can be realized by more command lines:
1. Convert a video file to FLV with the original dimension and frame rate:
flashvideomx -s myvideo.avi myflash
This command is to convert myvideo.avi to myflash.flv.

Which kind of website is the hottest nowadays in Web 2.0? Of course it is the video sharing website, such as Youtube, Google Video, Yahoo! video…The content of this kind of websites is of all kinds of things, but the same thing of these websites is that they all use Flash as their video media format, or rather flash video (FLV).
FLV is a brand new streaming video format. It makes use of the widely used platform on the Internet – Adobe Flash Player, and incorporate video into the Flash animation. FLV enables your videos can be viewable to 98% of all Internet users and bring great convenience to the broadcasting of Internet video.
To add FLV to web pages, you need to convert your video to FLV, and make a flash video player on your website to control the playback of the FLV files. Now I introduce three ways to convert video to FLV.
1. Moyea Video4Web Converter
This Video4Web Converter is a Freeware and professional tool to convert all popular video to flv, video to mov, mp4, 3gp and 3g2. It can change the values of the video for brightness, contrast, and volume. You may also trim and crop the video to fit your particular requirement.
2. Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder
Starting with Macromedia Flash MX 2004, it had already supported FLV decoding, but I suggest you use the latest version Flash 8. This version has an independent FLV conversion tool: Flash 8 Video Encoder. This encoder also provides a lot of video settings to meet your need.
3. Online converter
This method is famous to a lot of Internet users. You can convert your videos from your computer hard disk, or from online videos using different protocols (http, ftp, rtmp…) to FLV with the online converter.
But this method is not recommended to convert video, especially for some important video files. For there are several reasons:
Reason 1: It will take more time to convert videos compared with some desktop converters.
Reason 2: It requires that you are in a good internet connection. If the connection speed is slow, the convertion will be very slow or just stop.
Reason 3: The quality of the resulting video is not ensured, various problem is possible, such as audio and video is not synchronized, or only the audio is converted by not does the video…
For those e-friends who are often fond of expressing themselves by dint of network video, there must be existing a very troublesome problem that is a lot videos they upload can’t be viewed by others because the viewers don’t have the proper video player. Therefor, I will do a view of several pop video to flash converters in 2009, hope this will benefit e-friends who want to convert video to flash. But there are so many video to flash converters(encoder), I just search them in google optionally and found hundreds, some are never heard of before, so I have no idea of how is the effect of these video to flash converters(encoder). This made me at loose ends when I begun to select, but I made up my minds to do this review perfectly. After fast investigation, I picked 4 video to flash converters for this review. Since time is hasty, some software which also can convert video to flash excellently may be ignored, please understand.
The reviewed software:
Product name size accredit support OS POP index Geovid video to flash converter 5.3MB share Windows2000/xp/vista 8 Alive video to flash converter 9.8MB share Windows2000/xp/vista 8.5 Kibisi flash converrter 5.7MB share Windows 2000//XP/98/95 9 Wondershare video to flash encoder 6.4MB share Windows 2000/ 2003/ XP/ Vista 10
Review of practical function:
1.Geovid video to flash converter:
Brief summary of test: Geovid video to flash converter is an easy to use program for converting your AVI,ASF,MOV,MP4… digital video to Flash format, but the interface and function is too simple, you almost cant set any parameter to control the conversion effect. The only virtue is the conversion speed is fast.
2.Alive video to flash converter:
Brief summary of test: This software is very similar to Geovid video to flash converter on the interface, but Avile video to flash converter is more consummate.
1).its interface is extendable.
2).it provides more setting parameter in the “options”, including video frame rates, bitrates, frame size…
But the picture of the converted video is so blurry, I cant lay it on with a trowel.
3.Kibisis flash converter
Brief summary of test: Kibisis is a complete Video to Flash Converter. Kibisis allows you to encode standard video and audio files into low bit rate Flash movies. In addition, kibisis provides multitudinous setting parameter and video edit functions, all of this make it more perfect than others:
1).Provides flash video setting parameter such as size, frame rate, smoothness, quality….
2).You can edit your video by video effects like brightness, contrast …
3).You can add hyperlink, text to your own flash.
But I can’t understand why it runs so slow like a snail and I almost blow up finally.
4.Wondershare video to flash encoder
Brief summary of test: Wondershare Video to Flash Encoder is an excellent video to flash converter to convert video MPEG, AVI, MOV, WMV, MP4 and even HD video as M2TS, TP, TRP, TS to flash FLV, SWF. I summed up 4 its main attached function below:
1).Batches convert & merge several video files into one
2).Provide 12 beautiful flash players
3).Add hyperlink, text, image to your own flash.
4).Easy-to-use with intuitive interface
In addition, there are also some flaws existing in the conversion process, but these are innocuous flaws so I don’t list them here.
Final word, summary of this test:
Generally speaking, coming up from the 4 video to flash converter I tested, wondershare video to flash converter stands out in this review, its interface and general function is more outstanding. Of course, when I tested these conversion software, some ones are there just to make up the number and hope readers will be perceptive of the slightest.
