[opensuse] Flash..........
I found something unusual today and I'd like to know how/why this is true with Linux and not MickySoft. If one uses the downloadhelper plugin for FireFox 3.01 and while at YouTube you save a video, which has an flv extension, to a wmv extension, the movie will play fine with any Linux video player. If someone using a flavor of 'Bloze does the same the OS sees the file as a flv format and nothing except RealPlayer will play the file. I'm sure someone here has a clue as to what the "real" format of the files are from YouTube, (version of Flash, I think) and why is it that we can save in the wmv format, INCLUDING sending one of these files to others....including 'Bloze users and they play fine in WindowsMedia Player. Thanks, Fred -- Linux is an old Latin word meaning, "I don't have to support your Windows anymore." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Probably because the flv file is basically a container for the wmv file. Linux ignores the extra crap while Windows "protects" it's DRM. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

AFAIK it's flv (use "mediainfo"). I always submit my videos to youtube in flv format... one of my videos, after dl from Yt and seen by mediainfo gives: General Complete name : /home/jdd/dwhelper/medley_heptagone.flv Format : Flash Video File size : 11.9 MiB Duration : 5mn 10s Overall bit rate : 321 Kbps Writing application : YouTube, Inc.

So it shows that video format is H.263. "Flash video" is only a container, there is no video format "Flash".

well, when doing convert, I just end the file with "flv" and ffmpeg do the job, so there must some sort of flv specification, insn't it? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flv anyway, being a proprietary format, flv is what ever adobe wants it to be jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin Président du CULTe www.culte.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
