But ffmpeg is not a file format its software that converts vobs (DVD mpeg 2's) into flv's (streamable and presumably lower bandwidth flash video format). In fact ffmpeg is not really even end-user software -- it's a set of C libraries that developers use to build end-user video software. Here are a couple of open source windows packages that are built on ffmpeg: here is the dos/command-line program (you'll need the free "7zip" unzipper): http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/ MeWiG - MEncoder GUI for Windows http://sourceforge.net/projects/mewig/ AutoFF (GUI front-end for ffmpeg) http://www.64k.it/andres/data/ (autoff link) AutoMen http://www.64k.it/andres/data/automen/ etc, etc :-) > But is there more to it than that, meaning I need some sort of Flash > video player object? Yes. Here's an excellent open source flv player: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player hth! -dave
