I usually solve this by setting up a proxy on a host accepting data from flash apps through a known port. Case in point, if you utilize port 80 or port 443, they're commonly completely open through normal firewalls. I'd then setup either a kernel level proxy on Linux (if serving out of that)

Check out http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/ It's complicated because it's on the command line - and suited for UNIX. There are several Free open sourced UIs that use FFMPEG... so search around for it. I've never seen anything as robust and free when it comes to converting video formats. -- Jim

I have yet to battle with manifesting something of the sort. I really like your idea of using a variable watch. I've had much better luck capturing keys on just pure movie clips. I think you have greater control over user input if you're using a MovieClip.onKeyDown instead of capturing input
