Hi all --

I need your help. We are evaluating if we should purchase Flash Media Server.

We are developing a site that like YouTube allows users to post their videos,
and like YouTube we want to have playback only in Flash. Because everyone has
Flash players, and technically we think it's the best user experience.

I've been told that Flash Media Server can dynamically convert .AVI, .WMV,
..MOV, nearly any kind of video format on-the-fly and serve it out as Flash
Video (FLV). If it can do this boom, purchase made. Since otherwise we are
looking at scripting either Flash 8 Video Encoder or Sorenson Squeeze. Which is
a pain.

If anyone has done this, or can point me to documentation on the subject, or
knows anything (so far doc searches have turned up nothing) I'd be very
grateful. Thanks so much.

if you are working on linux you can may be use ffmpeg for the convertion .
You can write a scrit to communicate FMS with ffmpeg, so you convert
dynamecally you videos with ffmpeg and you serve them with FMS

It's same at Window's system.
