FLV MetaData Injector-save flv onMetaData

http://www.buraks.com/flvmdi/

FLV MetaData Injector (FLVMDI) is a Win32 console (command line) application that can add ‘onMetaData’ AMF data to FLV files. (There’s also a GUI frontend FLVMDIGUI). FLVMDI optionally saves an XML version of the injected data, and can add an additional string data or save the onMetaData data to an XML file. FLVMDI has some unique functionality, but it’s not as vital now because flashcom 1.5.2+ and Flash Video Exporter 1.2+ adds the required metadata. (Unfortunately there’s still a gotcha with Sorenson Squeeze 4, also see Sorenson Squeeze (4.1) FLV Metadata upate…).

Flash 8 Video Encoder inserts the correct MetaData. Also Sorenson Squeeze 4.2 is released on Sept 20, 2005, hopefully they fixed the metadata issues.

FLVMDI is free to use, but you cannot distribute it or link directly to the download. FLVMDI is not exactly freeware, but only free to use and at your own risk that is. All rights other than granted here belong to Manitu Group.

iPod Media Encoder-convert video to iPod-compatible format

http://nodadev.wordpress.com/pc-projects/ipodme/

iPod Media Encoder converts video into an iPod-compatible format, the easy way. As I was bored with the already existing converters like Videora, Xvid4PSP etc, I made this simple & efficient video converter. The profiles should be easy enough to figure, and keep in mind that slower also means more quality.

The new video files are created in the same folder as iPodME.

Features:

– small (less than 3 Mb), no setup, only 1 exe to put where you want, no codecs needed (except for subtitles)
– based on ffmpeg
– easy to use, it’s impossible to do better on that point :)
– easy batch encoding, just select multiple files by clicking on the “add files” button or drap’n drop them into the list
– you can add new files to the batch during encoding
– run into background without disturbing your work (with the defaut priority option)
– 6 profiles adapted to most usage : 3 encoding speed, each optimized for file size or video quality
– possibility to customize the encoding options
– can burn .srt subtitles into the converted video (must be the exact same name as the input file)
– can shutdown your computer after encoding
