Streaming video

Post by Thomas24 »

Yesterday i was looking for some information about creating streaming video. I found some applications that converted mpeg video to a flash movie: that was really simple and very nice!

I was wondering if it's possible to generate streaming video, or to generate flash movies by php. Hopefully you can help?

The Ming extension to PHP can generate SWF movies from PHP .. however ..

1. Ming is not available by default with PHP .. you'll need to compile it in.

2. Most hosting companies don't offer it.

3. I don't think it's advanced enough to allow you to convert video into a flash movie .. but it would enable you to modify Flash movies that have video in them.
