You might need to look onto a streaming option that way you can feed
the Flv in a much better way

Andy,
This is an excellent suggestion. However, there is a detail that I
failed to share at first which results in a couple of disadvantages:
the video must play at normal speed usually and have a "slow" button
that slows down playing. The resulting disadvantages:
1. When the slow button is clicked, the player needs to load the slow
FLV, so it will have to buffer for a few seconds first.
2. When the slow button is clicked and the slow FLV finishes loading
and buffering, the player will need to seek to the nearest keyframe.
So the user will click the "slow" button and, depending on the
keyframe metadata, the video might end up playing in slow motion
starting from a few seconds earlier.
Any ideas about circumventing these downsides?
Thanks again for your suggestion. In spite of its obviousness I
honestly hadn't thought of it before.

Why not just re-export the videos in a slow motion format? Unless
there are

Dear Flashcoders,
I must play an FLV in slow motion. After googling around for this
for
several hours I've found many bad solutions. For example, the one at
http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/8/2/slowmo is extremely
choppy, whereas the one at http://richapps.de/?p=36 doesn't also
play
the sound. I must play the sound slowly as well, without altering
its
pitch.
I have a solution in mind: I'm going to store each of my videos in
SWF
format in one-minute segments. As each segment finishes downloading,
my custom player will start downloading the next segment, and will
play each of them back-to-back. I have proof that when a video is in
SWF format, it can be played in slow motion without noticeable
degradation in sound quality.
As you can tell, this solution is hacky and is going to take a lot
of
work to implement. So, before implementing it, I wanted to make a
final check with the experts to make sure I'm not wasting my time.
Thank you,
Adam
