Avi to FLV converting using Flash 8

[pablo1999]

I'm trying to convert an avi file that works perfectly to a FLV file using Macromedia Flash 8.

The info for the avi file is the following:

Codec: a52
Sample Rate: 48000 Hz
Bitrate: 256 kb/s


The FLV file is trying to converted to the following:

Video Codec: On2 VP6
Audio Codec: MPEG Layer III (MP3)
Audio data rate: 96 kbps (Stereo)


After convertion the video looks fine but there is no audio.

I tried selecting another audio codec on Flash 8 but the only codec showing is MPEG Layer III (MP3). And its gray out. No option to select something else.

Do I need to install another codec so I can listen to the audio after converting?


Thanks.

Flash 8 probably doesn't accept AC3 audio input.
The audio codec button would be grayed out because it doesn't recognize any audio and therefore can't convert it.

I don't know flash at all.
Maybe there is an upgrade or a plugin.

You might try super for the conversion and see if it will do.

You could also use vdub to convert the audio and direct stream the video, then feed it to flash. Install the ac3 acm decompressor to be able to do that in vdub.
