Merging FLVs

Merging FLV vids onto One FLV vid?

As title

How can I join multiple FLV videos into ONE FLV Video file

There must be a program to do this?

Cheers.

Only way i know of is with Flash itself.

RoleyBirkin · 21 Sep 2007 at 11:43

Oh.

And I guess that's not that straight forward for a relatively non-IT person!?

Any 'How to' guides available on the subject?

RoleyBirkin · 22 Sep 2007 at 14:11

bump.

ChroniC · 22 Sep 2007 at 14:17

if there smallish email them to me, il do it.

RoleyBirkin · 22 Sep 2007 at 14:24

Thanks for the offer mate, but it's an on going requirement.

Files are about 20mb each, with 4-5 needing to be merged each time.

Which program could I do it using flash then? Macromedia Flash mx?

ChroniC · 22 Sep 2007 at 14:29

I have flash 8, but i would have though mx has it too. Just throw the flvs into the time line one after the other and either publish as a quicktime movie, or export as a flv movie.

RoleyBirkin · 22 Sep 2007 at 15:11

Looks like it could work, but it plays all the Flv files at once, and not in sequence!?

RoleyBirkin · 23 Sep 2007 at 11:24

Only one person on this entire forum who uses flash!?? :eek:

ChroniC · 23 Sep 2007 at 12:18

You need to put them in sequence on the same layer, if you dragging them in, it creates a new layer for each and put them all at the same first frame. It works like a film strip.

Drag the first one onto the storyboard, then on the time line select the frame after the first film finshes, and add the next one.

RoleyBirkin · 23 Sep 2007 at 12:51

Just doesn't seem to want to do it, even though they're both on the same layer!?

I'm dragging them from the library, as it only lets me import them into there first.

I'm I missing something obvious here?!?

RoleyBirkin · 23 Sep 2007 at 16:54

Is it MX Pro perhaps?

Worth me 'acquiring' Flash8?

ChroniC · 23 Sep 2007 at 17:04

Wouldnt have thought so, il have a fiddle and get back to you.

RoleyBirkin · 23 Sep 2007 at 17:10

Cheers matey.

Flash 8 would be better because the newer FLV codec needs Flash 8 to play.

RoleyBirkin · 23 Sep 2007 at 20:58

Have you tried linking flv vids in flash8? - If it works, I'll def get it.

Try a 30-day trial from Adobe's site.

RoleyBirkin · 25 Sep 2007 at 14:51

^Might try it

But I'm not on an unlimited connection, so it needs to be worth it at app.100mb

Sirrel Squirrel · 25 Sep 2007 at 19:55

The trials don't have full support for everything (well that used to be the case) so it may not work

Hxc · 25 Sep 2007 at 20:09

The flash trial has full support for everything, I'm pretty sure, all adobes trials do.
