PHP/Linux Solution to converting SWF to FLV

Post by sonnyb »

Hi.
I'm currently in the process of building a Flash web app. Part of the functionality requires exporting a SWF from Flash and converting it to an FLV on our Linux server.

On the Windows platform there are a dozen options for this, but on Linux I can’t find a single solution.

So, the challenge I face is finding a solution for Linux which takes a SWF and convert it to an FLV. This should be controllable through PHP.

The Flash Media Server range might accomplish this task, but they come in at around £4500 and that's way above budget.

Any suggestions on a framework, object etc that can achieve this?
Many thanks!

How about iWisoft swf to flv converter?
I haven't tried it but it seems that it can convert swf to many different formats. I saw a lot of people said them have used it and it worked good for them.

I’ve also been struggling with this for a long time ! but still haven’t found a suitable swf converter for linux using yet.
Now I use swf to flv converter, it works well but only for windows, I also want to find one for linux.
