Hi,

I'm using Flash 8 Video Encoder to convert movies to .fla format to use them
on websites. Now trying to do this with movies shot with my new Sony Handycam,
Flash Video Encoder gives an error and doesn't convert the movie.

Any idea what to do?

Thanks, have a nice day.

My Sony comes with Picture Motion Browser which allows to convert the video
into MPEG-2 (dvd format), which flash takes w/o any problem. Did you try that?

Thanks for the reply.
I haven't tried this option yet, I've opened the Picture Motion Browser but I don't see how to convert it to mpeg2.

Can you tell me how to do this?

Thanks again.

I have this option from right click menu - Convert to Mpeg 2 and save.

By the way, does your CD comes with Sony Vega program?
This one is able to open Sony's raw file format and export to very nice
quality mpeg that works superb in flash. I did lots of video using Vega,
to adjust the sharpness, color contrasts and all, before start exporting and
down sizing...

Ok, I will guess the error says "Can not encode while eating Pie" So
my suggestion would be to stop eating pie while trying to encode....

We need more info than "I get an error" No one but you knows what
that means.
