Chris’s Projects

So I figured out a way to recreate the same stuff Google, YouTube, and BroadRamp are doing only using free and open source software.

• ffmpeg
• For conversion from to FLV
• flvmdi
• To add the XML so it streams
• FlowPlayer
• To play the videos once converted

Normally I just convert a couple of times to be able to eventually convert to FLV from my original format. Recently I found a Windows tool called SUPER that does a great job converting the video. Now all I have to do is run the file through the gui version of flvmdi. Done.

Check out my results at my own video player.
