Hi all,

I need to create an swf animation, if possible under MorphOS. I would like transform e. g. an
avi video to swf.

Has anyone experience with this and could help me? Are there any tools to do this?

Any help will be very much welcome.

Regards

Christoph

try mencoder

mencoder -ofps 15 -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=22 -srate 22050 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=flv:keyint=50:vbitrate=80:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 -vf scale=320:240 "inputfile" -o "outputfile"

@ roschmyr

Thanks for help! I tried your solution but I only get audio, no video, the shell output is:

** MUXER_LAVF *****************************************************************
REMEMBER: MEncoder's libavformat muxing is presently broken and can generate
INCORRECT files in the presence of B-frames. Moreover, due to bugs MPlayer
will play these INCORRECT files as if nothing were wrong!
*******************************************************************************
OK, exit.


and then it skipps the frames The result is a file with only audio.

Any idea?

i tried an avi and it works(tm) ;)
do you have the latest version installed http://fabportnawak.free.fr/mplayer/

Yes it seems that I do have the latest version, it's the one from the MPlayer-1.0-svn-2008.12.15.lha
archive which states: MPlayer 1.0 (08.12.2008) [SVN:28114]

Do you have another version?

Do you also get the "MUXER_LAVF" shell output?

Did you try to play the file with FlashPlayer http://aminet.net/gfx/show/FlashPlayer_mos.lha
or MPlayer?

With Flashplayer I only can hear the sound but there are on video.

I need to create a swf which must be playable by a standard swf player on PC. The swf is used for
an internal video channel.

I'v got an example what I need to create which is playable by Flashplayer and flash movie info is:
- frame size is 728 x 576
- frame rate is 25 / sec.
- Flash Format Version 6

I encoded a mpg video to flv using MenGUI
and all works fine. I used an old mencoder version and the latest without any problem.
To see the flv video I used MPlayer itself.
I even tried to encode a swf video but the resulting file couldn't be read neither with MPlayer nor with FlashPlayerMOS.
I didn't try any parameters configuration... I'm not so able, sorry... So I suppose it's not a mencoder problem..
But if you need a flv video MenGUI goes great!

This IS the problem! MPlayer plays it ok but Flashplayer doesn't! I need a file which
plays everywhere without problems.

And yes I also tried an mpg video as well as avi, both encode ok but seem not to be playable
by the Flashplayer.

I also tried older software, like swftools-0.4.4 and his "avi2swf" but it seems not to work
under MorphOS...

Any other idea?
