Author compressing still image + audio
Greg Saunders

2005-12-27, 5:53 pm

If I have a still image + an audio track, is there a way to create an FLV
that will be roughly the size of the audio track rather than the audio + a
video track that repeats the still image again and again and again...

I'm wondering because i'd like to have a still image + audio, then switch
to real video + audio, then switch back to a still + audio, all wrapped up
in one FLV, but I need to keep the data rate down overall.

thanks,

In the past I have just saved a seperate flv of 1frame and pulled that in=
.. I have been experimenting with FLV2jpg written by another on this list =
which grbs the 1st frame and creates a jpg. there is the possibility of s=
aving the bitmap data to the stream, in flash8. I think using the bitmap =
data maybe the best option so that you keep all the info in one file(flv)=
.. Alas this could bloat your flv size if there are several saved to the f=
lv. I suppose one of us will eventually have to come up with a more effi=
cient way to solve this.

Yes it's possible.
But I need to know if you have to record in realtime the source or if you
want to
process the flv offline.

thanks, fabio; offline.

the trick in my mind is having the FLV have still images in some places and
actual video in other places.

We are able to do that but using proprietary
tools still in development stage. In short, we
use ffmpeg and custom flv's tag manipulation.
