Uploading MPEG that converts to FLV

[ecsancho]

Hello I have client that wants to upload videos MPEG/AVI and play them on a flash player instead using the crappy Windows player. But I know I need to convert them into FLV format during the upload process.

Sorta like what Youtube has where you can upload any format and it converts it for you to FLV.

How difficult is this process and are there any guides into do this? Or is there standard of modules that I can purchase that can do this for me.

I'm using ASP to upload the files to the server. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this will help. But, I was looking into this myself a couple of months ago and came across the following (never got around to trying it out). Good luck with it...

This is how you'd do it... ;)

Install FFMPEG on your server...
Execute the FFMPEG to convert uploaded video to FLV as soon as uploading process is done...
Notify the path to the newly created FLV back to Flash so that it can display it...
