Technology

The Riva FLV Encoder is based on the open source software FFMPEG. FFMPEG is transcoding engine which translates one codec into another. The sound is encoded by the open source mp3 encoder Lame.

Despite to much testings we can not guarantee that all video codecs are support because sometimes they are different in there implementation.

FLV Version

The Riva FLV Encoder now supports the FLV format in version 1.1. Many thanks to Norman Timmler from inlet media for the programming of the FLVTool2!

Bugs

When you have a video which is on our list and encoding fails please send an email to "encoder at rivavx dot com".

Riva FLV Encoder suppots unlisted codecs?

That is possible. Thank the people from ffmpeg and send us an email so we can add the codec to our list.

Known problems

The resulting video bitrate can be higher than the expected one. FFMPEG uses VBR and the "failure" depends on the source video. We are working on a solution and will hopefully fix it in a feature version.
