Encoding flv’s with Expression Encoder

Posted by Alain on May 13th, 2008 at 2:43 pm

Today I installed the brand new Expression Studio 2. I have been playing with Silverlight 2 the last couple of weeks now and I wanted to convert an FLV that I had to the WMV format Silverlight supports. So I started with VLC media player and streamed the FLV to a WMV file. The quality was very bad and I still had to encode it with Expression Encoder.

Then I thought, let’s just use Expression Encoder and try to import the FLV directly. But when you open the import dialog the FLV file type is not in the list of supported formats. But if you force the application to open the FLV file, you can encode the file directly to the correct WMV encoding. I have to say that the first time I tried it, the application crashed, but the second time everything worked fine.

Check out the final result here.
