Flash Video Formats (FLV, SWF) 93 Flash Video Formats (FLV, SWF) Flash video is an increasingly popular delivery method for video content both on the Web and elsewhere. There are two Flash file formats that can be created with Cleaner: • FLV: The Flash Video (FLV) format cannot (in general) be read directly by media players. Instead, FLV video is used in the Flash MX authoring application, along with other components, before being exported to the SWF format. • SWF: SWF files can also be published with Cleaner. The SWF format can be read by the Flash Player, QuickTime, and other compatible players. Usually, SWF files can be opened directly in a Web browser if the Flash plugin is installed. You can use Wildform's Flix Exporter to encode both FLV and SWF files. Kinoma Kinoma is a movie format used for playback on any Palm handheld device. This includes any handheld device that runs the Palm Operating System, such as handheld devices from Palm, Sony, Handspring, Kyocera, Samsung, IBM, Acer, Handera, and others. Besides audio and video encoding, Kinoma provides control over the presentation of the video including background image, background color, and layout of the elements. Video Encoding Kinoma offers four video encoding formats. MPEG-4 - Is the most advanced video encoding format included in Kinoma Producer. It produces the highest quality images and the smallest files. MPEG-4 playback requires Kinoma Player 3 EX for playback on Palm Powered handhelds. MPEG-4 video can be stored in Kinoma Movie files, MPEG-4 files and QuickTime Movies. Cinepak Mobile - Is a lightweight video encoding format intended primarily for older handhelds running Kinoma Player 2. H.263 - Is less powerful than MPEG-4 video, but provides greater compression than Cinepak Mobile. It is supported by both Kinoma Player 3 and Kinoma Player 3 EX. H.263 video may be stored in Kinoma Movie files. The largest image size supported by H.263 is 352x288 (CIF). 16 Grays - Appropriate for most gray scale Palm handheld devices. It provides good quality and performance.
