  • encoding FLV through QT conversion

    Posted by Michael Williams on November 5, 2009 at 4:19 am

    I recently got a new mac pro and am slowly getting everything back the way I had it on my old system. I just went to create some FLV files through QT Conversion and the FLV option is not in the pull-down. It is on my laptop system and I have an encoding profile that I use for a particular client that I brought over.

    I am unsure why FLV is available on my laptop system, but not on the new desktop system. both intel, same version of FCP, same version of QT.

    Any ideas? Do I need a plug-in that I’m not aware of?

    thanks,

    Mike

    Hi micheal

    I believe the flv plugin cones with flash installation … I think it’s been a while since I installed flash – check on the laptop for apps that are not on the tower hope this helps – I use visualhub which does batch encodes and awesome flv

    Here’s a crazy thing. Flash now supports H.264. Just render a h.264 QuickTime, then change the .mov to .flv. Done. Works great. Looks better.

    This is interesting. by changing the extension is the file now an FLV? or is it just emulating an FLV?

    curious.

    btw, I found the plugin on my laptop under library/quicktime. it was called “FLV.component.” not sure where it originally came from.

    thanks,
