[Placio74]

FLV Splitter + ffdshow (FLV1 & VP6F)
AviSynth script (DirectShowSource) > VirtualDub (or other editor with AVS support)

---

FLV Extract (FLV to AVI & MP3)
ffdshow VfW (FLV1 & VP6F)
VirtualDub (or other editor with VfW support)

FLV to AVI Conversion Guide (http://www.digital-digest.com/articles/FLV_to_AVI_Conversion_Guide_page1.html)

MEncoder or FFmpeg (MediaCoder, ...)

thanks i give it a shot.

if ffdshow can read flash then shouldnt editors like vegas bele to as well?

edit: i cant seem to get it to work, it says it cant convert to RGB

if ffdshow can read flash then shouldnt editors like vegas bele to as well?
ffdshow can decode FLV1 & VP6F video streams.
For playing required FLV Splitter.
ffdshow is only decoder DirectShow & VfW (exception, encoder ffdshow VfW).

Vegas and most editors can't handle FLV container (i'm think...).

edit: i cant seem to get it to work, it says it cant convert to RGB
What "...it..."?
Which method and which editor?
Maybe You need YV12 decoder?

- Transcode to AVI with Huffyuv in VirtualDub with AviSynth script,
- or change only container FLV>AVI and use ffdshow VfW or DirectShow decoding - if necessary transcode video stream to Huffyuv,
- or transcode to AVI with Huffyuv used FFmpeg or MEncoder (MediaCoder is GUI for this encoders).

VirtualDubMOd i used

real and wmp can play it but the editors cant !!

VirtualDubMOd i used

WMP and many other players used DirectShow filters to play.

VirtualDubMod required VfW (video) and ACM (audio) codecs.

ffdshow VfW is very useful.
ffdshow video encoder configuration > Decoder > Raw video

Or example use Helix YV12 / I420 VFW Codecs (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56972).

And... why convert to RGB?

[lilhobo]

thats the error i got, its says virtualdubmob cant convert to RGB and check that that is no codec that forces this conversion where do i check?

[Placio74]

Used AviSynth script?
What version AviSynth?

VDM > File > File Information...
What is decoder?

You try use Fast recompress?

Recompress to Huffyuv?
What version?

Maybe You try used ffdshow VfW encoder (HuffyUV)?

What version VirtualDubMod?

Show information about source file (FLV) from GSpot.


VDM never 'say' "can't convert to RGB" to me...

this is the error i got; how do i get rid of it?

i only get it from
FLV to AVI Conversion Guide using the converted avi...other avi work

[Placio74]

The decompression codec cannot...

You try use Fast recompress (without any color conversions) instead of Full processing or Normal recompress?

What version ffdshow (http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/)?

Look at:
ffdshow video encoder configuration > Decoder > Output > Supported output colorspaces > RGB

I think what the initial post meant was to ask whether somebody knows an FLV-Editor, not an encoder. A client with which you can cut and edit FLV files, like Ulead Video Studio, i.e., does with AVI and the rest of it.
I am looking for one as well! ;-)

[mgh]

You can use AviDemux to edit flv files:)

What encoder?!
FFmpegt and MEncoder - it's encoders.
VirtualDub, - it's editor.

For 'simple' edit, at this moment:
- Avidemux,
- Movica (cut & join),
- VirtualDub + FLV input plugin (but save only to AVI).

I'm don't know any non-linear editor with FLV support (like Ulead Video Studio)...

[mgh]

a workaround
use avi demux to change container from flv to avi
use virtualdub to edit
use avidemux to change container back to flv

[joseph5]

a workaround
use avi demux to change container from flv to avi
use virtualdub to edit
use avidemux to change container back to flvOr:
use avidemux to edit directly without changing containers.

what are the editors for flash video

ffmpeg.exe -i infile.flv -ss time_offset -vcodec copy -acodec copy outfile.flv

I have not used it since version 2.5, but TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress can import flv. Besides being an encoder, it has basic editing like crop, mark in/out, and noise filters.

They do have a 2 week trial version. I can't tell you if it works since I have not used it. I don't agree with their internet activation protection.

Or:
use avidemux to edit directly without changing containers.
you are right, did not see the selection delete option earlier:goodpost:

And old freeware 2.5 too.
Just required FLV Splitter and ffdshow.
Similarly RAD Video Tools, ...
