    Hi! I need to build a website which will play some media files. I know that we can convert audio/video files into .flv files by using FFMpeg. But after googling for a whole day long, i am unable to get any useful article or help. I want to know how can i use FFMPEG to convert my audio/video files into .flv format and then play them on the site. I am using .net + C#. Thanx in advance. :)

      I may be wrong, but AFAIK .flv files = Flash Video file format and need to be linked to or embeddded in a Flash (.swf) file - so you will need Adobe Flash[^], probably the latest version for best results (I understand it's better at compressing the video than earlier versions.) Unfortunately, it's not a cheap bit of software. Perhaps there are other more specific s/w tools that can do this as well, I don't know. Fred

        Hi! I think i was not able to explain my problem fully. All i want is.... 1. Upload any audio/video file to my site. 2. Then this media file will be converted into .flv file. 3. And then it will be played using flash player. Above 2nd point is creating problems for me. I dont have any idea about convert audio/video files into .flv files. After some googling i came to know that there is a tool called FFMPEG which can do this conversion. I just wanna know that how can i use FFMPEG to convert my media files into .flv files. ----------------------- Any ways, thanx for your reply :)

            Thank you for the reply. Yes, very much similar to this site but i just want to convert any media file to .flv within my code, don't want to take help of any other website because you cannot rely on their uptime.
