onvert video files to FLV format you will need a conversion application, usually referred to as a converter or encoder. Converters are fairly straightforward to use — you simply import a file, choose a preset (and customize the settings if required), then export as FLV. Good converters have additional features such as batch processing options.

There are many converter/encoders available — some free, some cheap, some expensive. If you do a search for "FLV converter" or "FLV encoder" you'll find plenty of options. Three of the most commonly-used converters are listed below.

1. Macromedia Flash External Link: The official Flash authoring program comes bundled with a utility called Flash 8 Video Encoder. Flash itself is very powerful (and correspondingly expensive) but the encoder doesn't actually produce the best quality FLV files. If you already own Flash, this is a good way to begin making FLV files but if you want the best possible quality you should try other options.
2. Flix External Link: Flix is a collection of encoders by On2 Technologies, the company which makes the VP6 codec used in Flash 8. There are various options including low-budget versions.

For converting your video into the FLV format, you will need one of the following:

* Sorenson Squeeze
Select the preset for your intended audience and click the "Squeeze It" button. Squeeze automatically creates the highest-quality video possible and outputs it into Flash SWF or the new FLV format.

* Adobe Flash MX Professional
Flash MX Professional includes the FLV codec that enables you to export FLV video with industry-standard video compression tools such as QuickTime and Media Cleaner.

* FFMPEG
This option is for hard-core programmer-types only. Good for implimenting "on the fly" conversion on your web server.

* Flash Video MX
A straight forward FLV converter. When using FFMPEG, you will have to run your videos through a "Time Fixer" (see bleow) so that the proper "duration" (in seconds) is included in the FLV file. If you do not use a "Time Fixer" the Wimpy progress abr will appear to not move.
