Question

I have a server which streams FLV files to a Flex client.
In this flex client, the video timeline advances incoherently, and no video can be seen on screen (only the sound can be heard).

My FLV file has been generated using ffmpeg, which says (about this generated file)

[flv @ 0x95c6aa0]Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 1000.00 (1000/1) -> 25.00 (25/1)

At least one output file must be specified

Which, as far as it seems to me, is OK.

Furthermore, the video plays nice in VLC.

Answer 1

Use H.264 for the video stream.
