hi there, i'm the webmaster (and video geek!) at www.archive.org i'm playing around with flv and swf (we presently darwin stream .mp4) i found your perl and CPAN installed it on an ubuntu (breezy badger release) linux box. i made a FLV file from a 64kb MP4 file with ffmpeg. this looks OK: ~/perl/bin/flvinfo ~/k/flv/commute.flv File name /home/tracey/k/flv/commute.flv File size 2496419 bytes Duration about 114.933 seconds Video 1725 frames codec Sorenson H.263 height 120 type interframe/keyframe width 160 but then: ~/perl/bin/flv2swf ~/k/flv/commute.flv ~/commute.swf uncompressed not supported yet; only MP3 audio allowed is this a bug/issue or something else? the reason i ask is because it identified the codec as H.263 which sounds about right... thanks --Tracey -- * --Tracey Jaquith - http://www.archive.org/~tracey <http://www.archive.org/%7Etracey> --*

Tracey, Interesting. Is that MP4 file video only with no audio? That's a case I've never tested with FLV::Info. On the other hand, if it does indeed have audio, then there must be a bug in the FLV parser. Can you share the FLV file? You can contact me privately if you don't want to upload it to rt.cpan.org.

Hi Tracey, Can you share either the FLV or the source MP4? If not, can you share some of the details about that file? Specifically, does it have audio? Chris

hi chris! sorry for the long delay -- we were pretty interested in flash but then it kind of got backburnered. the source i was using can be found here: http://www.us.archive.org/~tracey/_/commute/ i *think* i used the "commute.avi" version (it's the "original" format -- the other mp4s we "derived" from that AVI). i tried about 10 various movie items here that we serve from the archive.org and they all seemed to have the same problem. here's what i did: rm -rfv ~/swf mkdir ~/swf if [ "$#" != 1 ]; then exit; fi; ffmpeg -i $1 ~/swf/x.flv cd ~/perl/share/perl/5.8.7 ~/perl/bin/flv2flv ~/swf/x.flv ~/swf/t.flv ~/perl/bin/flvinfo ~/swf/x.flv ~/perl/bin/flv2swf ~/swf/t.flv ~/swf/t.swf exit hope that helps! -tracey chris@clotho.com via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Hi Tracey, Sorry for MY delay! We have a newborn in the house. Could you please share the x.flv produced by ffmpeg? I don't have enough information to go on quite yet, but my intuition says that ffmpeg may be at fault here. Chris

hi chris, sorry for my delay. a few things to note. looks like i was not using ffmpeg properly and didn't know about (and thus didn't use) the "-f flv" switch to it. so that might be the problem. i gave up for quite awhile, and then late last night found some pretty interesting google hits, eg: http://blog.go4teams.com/?p=56 so i've downloaded the latest ffmpeg and after hours of fighting stuff, managed to get one that was configure-d with "--enable-faad --enable-mp3lame" and can now do things like: Util::mycmd("/home/tracey/INSTALL/bin/ffmpeg -i $in -acodec mp3 -ar 22050 -ab 64 -f flv -s 320x240 $out"); Util::mycmd("/home/tracey/INSTALL/bin/flvtool2 -U $out"); and now i'm getting good .flv files best of all, i was able to use an opensource inline flash player mentioned in the url above to give me: http://www.archive.org/~tracey/_/flv/ if you still want to try an .flv source or two, you can try downloading by replacing the filenames in that url like this: http://www.archive.org/~tracey/_/flv/comm.flv so anyway, looks like it's working pretty well with my first battery of 10 "known nasty" short films and we might stick with this path instead. thanks for your support and help! all my best to you and your newly expanded family 8- --tracey via RT wrote: Show quoted text
