Problems with FLVs and personal media player

Question

We've created our own media player that will handle FLVs, SWF
and MP3 files. Its in the library as a linked item and we wrote a
class to handle everything for it. First we started coding for the
FLVs (not getting to the other 2 yet) and we're having problems
with them. Sometimes the FLV won't load at all, sometimes it will
stop about 2 to 3 seconds into the FLV and won't play anymore, and
100% of the time, if we go to a new frame (this is for CBT) and
load another FLV it won't show up at all. While IN flash, it will
load the first FLV, but when running it as a SWF or Published EXE,
its "sketchy" about loading even the first FLV.
the information is pulled from an XML file that has what file
it is, the position on the screen, etc. The FLV lives in the same
directory as the SWF file does as well.
To load in the mediaPlayer and FLV file we use this:
content_mc.addChild(new mediaPlayer(mediaFile, myType,
mediaX, mediaY));
the content_mc is an empty movie clip that just sits on the
stage so we can go through and erase all the children for the next
frame:
var mcNumChildren:uint = content_mc.numChildren;
for(var c:uint=0; c<mcNumChildren; c++) {
content_mc.removeChildAt(0);
I've attached the class for the mediaPlayer linked library
item.
does anyone know why this is giving me problems? we've had
everyone here look at it, and we just can't figure it out!

Answer 1

I believe Quicktime Pro (which is available for Windoze) is capable of opening any WMP files and then you just export it as iPod format. That is how I get video onto the iPod. The Music and Videos all can be placed onto your iPod through iTunes.
So, if you are creating videos in your program, and want them on your iPod, then that is how you can do it.
Videos on your iPod have nothing to do with the formatting of your music. But, as the earlier post stated, change your prefs in iTunes to import as MP3. But, your videos HAVE to be in MP4 or M4V format to work on the iPod.
Good luck... and I'm a j3susfreak too
