Hi,
I'm currently trying to encode some raw AVI video to a Flash movie file with
format .swf so it can be played by a Browser (its Flash plugin actually).
Mplayer's User Guide tells me:
End of section 13.1 :
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML-single/en/MPlayer.html#menc-feat-selecting-codec
>>
[..]
If you selected libavformat to do the muxing of the output file (by using the
-of lavf), the appropriate container format will be determined by the file
extension of the output file. You may force a particular container format
with libavformat's format option.
[..]
Example:
Creating a Macromedia Flash video suitable for playback in a web browser with
the Macromedia Flash plugin:
mencoder input.avi -o output.flv -of lavf -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=56
-ovc lavc \
-lavcopts vcodec=flv:vbitrate=500:mbd=2:mv0:trell:v4mv:cbp:last_pred=3 \
-srate 22050
[..]

I use that command and indeed get a nice ".flv" file. However, my Winbox
Firefox (1.5) with Flashplayer plugin (v9) can't play that. Just Mplayer can
play it.
I re-read the User Guide's sentence about file ending and changed the above
mencode params to "-o output.swf" but then Mencoder crashes:
>>
VIDEO CODEC ID: 0
Writing header...
[NULL @ 00C29C30]SWF only supports VP6, FLV1 and MJPEG

I'm using "MEncoder Sherpya-r19976-MinGW-4.1.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team"

Am I missing something or is it not possible currently with Mencoder to make a
.swf video?
Thanks a lot.
