The obvious format would be a FLV file streamed using a flash player. The main program I use to convert files to FLV is a free program called “Riva FLV Encoder 2.0<\/a>” . This does not support WMV files :(.\r\n\r\nI needed to convert the WMV into an AVI , This can be done using a previous version of Virtual Dub (1.3 due to a Microsoft Legal Case in which WMV support for virtual Dub was stopped due to Microsoft owning the codec Error Message : ASF files are not supported) Download Virtual Dub 1.3<\/a>\r\n\r\nAfter importing the file into Virtual Dub 1.3 , It produced an Error “ASF: Illegal Object Fragment flags 0a in packet at 14c0 packing size = 1f40, pp =12,\u00a0 send time: 0:00”\r\n\r\nAfter more research someone has written a Virtual Dub Plugin for WMV support for the latest version of Virtual Dub ( 1.9.0 ). You can download this WMV plugin by fccHandler Here<\/a> and follow the readme for installation.\u00a0 However this still produced errors when trying to reencode to AVI\r\n\r\nTo file the WMV (ASF File ) I used a tool called ASF Tools 3.1<\/a>\r\n\r\nI ran a Basic Repair on the WMV then Re-Encoded it. To do this you will need to download and install:\r\n\r\nDownload and Install Windows Media Encoder 7.1 – wmencoder71.exe<\/a><\/em><\/em>\r\n\r\nInstall this MPEG4 codec : http:\/\/www.divx-digest.com\/software\/mpeg4codec.html<\/a><\/span>\r\n\r\nI then open the fixed WMV with Virtual Dub ,<\/span> set :\r\n\r\nAudio : Direct Stream Copy\r\nVideo : Direct Stream Copy <\/span>\r\n\r\nThen File , Save As AVI. This can then be converted with <\/span>Riva FLV Encoder 2.0<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
