5. Encoding
Encoders and MPEG plugins are used to convert AVI or MPEG files into MPEG
video streams.
We have dedicated a table to FlasKMPEG: FlasKMPEG
takes MPEG streams (video streams are currently not supported) and encodes
them into another format, trying to achieve the maximum possible quality
and trying to minimize the conversion impact providing a straightfordward
aproach to the MPEG1/2 to MPEG/AVI conversion.
The following table is for web streaming encoders.
