I need to be able to stream as many different media files as possible, so .avi, .mpeg, .wav, .mp3 etc, i.e as many video and audio file types as possible.4
Do you know which i can do through flash? And do i do it the same way as i would a .flv?
Thanks
Streaming .avi and .wav is highly problematic. They’re not designed to be streamed, and they’re also container formats, meaning they can hold ANY kind of audio/video data, which depend on appropriate codecs being present in the client-side player. If you push out an .avi which uses (says) Intel Indeo for video, it’s unlikely to play on any modern system as Intel long ago terminated development/support for that codec.
Stick with .flv for video, and .mp3 for audio. Support for those is built into Flash.
