Converting .wmv and .asf files

[Guest]

Hi all,

I have to stream, with rtmp, some .wmv and .asf files.

Flash media server doesn't work with this kind of files, correct me if I'm wrong,

but it only works with .mp4 and .flv files.

How can i do to convert these files?

What tool can i use?

Thanks in advance.

Do you have Adobe Flash CS4 or CS5 - if yes - it comes with Adobe Media Encoder which you can use to convert files to .mp4 or .flvs. I have not used it to convert above format files - but if you this software you can give it a try. Also there should be may open source softwares which you can search over net which converts file from one format to another - you can try them out - one of the is MediaCoder (http://www.mediacoderhq.com/) - there should be others too. Once you convert into FMS supported format - you can run flvcheck tool from FMS installation to check validity of the file - if it passes flvcheck tool (it works for mp4 files too) - you converted file should have no issues in streaming via FMS.

Hi SE_0208,

thank you for reply.

I don't have Adobe Flash installed so I'll try with MediaCoder.
