Encode Flash Video and drop into Dreamweaver
Web developers have struggled to find the best way to disseminate video on their sites. They’ve shared the same horrid experience of a client delivering a 45-minute, double-digit megabyte file with orders to just post it. What consumer has the patience to wait for such a large file to download? And what developer doesn’t find this a waste of time?
But the integration of web-based video has come a long way. And with the inclusion of the Flash® Video 8 Encoder and its seamless amalgamation with Dreamweaver®, even web developers with minimal video background can successfully include web-based video on their sites. Video file formats such as AVI, MOV, MP4, MPG, and WMV can all be converted to FLV files, which are viewable on most operating systems and web browsers via Flash Player 6 or later.
The following tutorial explains how to take a video file, convert it to FLV, and embed it in a web page using Dreamweaver 8.
