WMV to Flash
-
Hi, I have a couple questions I am hoping someone here can help me with. 1) Is is practical to convert an existing WMV file to Flash format? (Will the file size and quality stay reasonably similar?) This would be for display, embedded into a web page. The original raw video is still available, and can be recaptured. 2) If #1 is true, then is there an affordable tool (preferably free) which can do this? (Either convert a format like WMV to Flash, or capture raw video to Flash). Any recommendations? I ask because we are having problems with many users (not all) being unable to access an embedded Windows Media Video through the MMS protocol on a web page, and I can't figure out why. (Has anyone else experienced this?) I'm thinking perhaps it would just be easier to move to Flash -- with the benefit of avoiding this issue -- and perhaps that more platforms could view the videos anyway (and also since YouTube and other sites use the format). The type of video I'm wanting to put online is about an hour long (it is stuff like interviews with older people about history and such). Thank you in advance for your advice.

I use the sothink tools and think they do a very nice job. The tool you want is $39. I spent that and gladly. Haven't looked back. But I'm not real picky. I think it did a nice job.
