We are having problems converting FLVs that have been recorded from
webcam to FCS to Mpegs using FFMpeg. Does anyone know of any issues
regarding this.

Thanks

Yes,
FFMPEG doesn't convert audio in FLV recorded with FCS
this is because FLV uses a proprietary algorithm for audio (Nelly Moser)
Try with option -an, this exclude the audio in the conversion
process of ffmpeg, the video will be converted for sure.

Nowadays there are only a few complex way to convert
an FCS recorded FLV in MPEG, like using a screen grabber,
or other methods.

Thanks Fabio,

That raises a question as to whether FCS recorded FLVs can be forced to
use something like Ogg for the audio?

FCS doesn't do any encoding, it just records (saves) the audio/video
stream to disk.

The Flash player supports Nelly Moser encoding only. For playback, it
supports Nelly Moser, MP3 and a few others I forget off the top of my
head - they are the same as the options for saving audio in Flash.

So if you want to get some format other than Nelly Moser audio, you need
to use a different tool such as Squeeze, FFMPEG, etc. to create the FLV.

I don't know of any solutions to encode and stream live in a different
format.

Hope this makes sense,

Thanks David, what I really want to know is, is there any server
software that can convert FLV to MPEG on the fly?


I'd like to get some recommendations on this.

Regards

Mart
