The Macromedia Flash authoring tool can do this conversion, with most (if not all) of the codecs currently available in the Windows Media Player. But from the rest of the conversation I'm wondering if you're looking for a serverside translation, unattended by human eyes? If so, that can get a little tricky, because the most desirable compression rates and frame rates are best performed from raw source file rather than arbitrary files which have already been compressed -- it's possible to get good results, but not guaranteed, depending on what type of content and initial .WMV compression settings were chosen. .... is the core problem here something like "How can I let any visitor upload any .WMV file from their local machine to my server, so that I can automatically re-deliver it to the widest range of audience menmbers in Flash Video format?" Or is the situation from the audience's viewpoint just a little bit different from that...? jd -- John Dowdell . Adobe Developer Support .
