We stream internal corporate content to about 70 screens worldwide and also stream 2 IPTV channels. We've been advertising on here for weeks looking for an experienced encoder and have had no luck-so as someone with a production background I am interested in learning. Stefan's second question comes from Mankhool:ĭoes anyone know where one can study streaming video? Those license agreements are legally binding and can't be changed, even by a new owner. While he doesn't know what Google's plans are, he knows that Skype, for one, licenses the codecs and can't imagine anything happening to change those existing license agreements. The existing license agreements are in place and should remain uneffected. "It's free and it's quite good, so go with that," says Stefan.Īs for the Google ownership issue, that doesn't bother Stefan. It does multi-bit encoding, he says, and on a powerful machine it will stream multiple bit rates. It's free to download from Adobe, and it supports VP6, H.264, and Spark. Your best alternative to On2 Flix is Adobe's Flash Media Live Encoder. Yes, the Flix publisher is limited, says Stefan, to only one codec-the VP6 codec. Do you know of anything or can you ping me over to anyone who might know of something that can help? The quality of the default codecs in Flash are not good enough for what I need to do and I am worried about On2 now being owned by Google and therefore support for products being potentially limited in the future as a conflict of interests. Hello, I am looking for an alternative to the On2 Flix publisher for browser-based Flash player client encoding for live audio and video streaming into FMS3. Stefan's first question this month was e-mailed from James R: Richter also maintains his personal blog, the popular FlashComGuru. The company works for an international client base that includes ITV, Unilever, and the Tate Modern, and recently launched its first product, Scribblar, an online collaboration tool which is proving popular in the eLearning community. Richter is the founding director of Muchosmedia, a UK-based software firm specializing in rich Internet applications. In this monthly series, Richter will answer Flash questions sent in by readers or from the Streaming Media forums. Got a Flash video question? Let Stefan Richter, the Flash guru, help you out.
