Playing Flash .FLV files in RealPlayer SP is very handy. Many times when you’re encoding content for Flash video using the .FLV wrapper, you need to play your video to make sure it looks good. Well, RealPlayer SP does this well and is available on both PC and Mac platforms. You also can play .FLV videos in the player to see if your encode was successful in hitting your target datatrate. Needless to say it’s great to have around. So if you don’t have a player to view your .FLV videos your can set RealPlayer SP to open all your .FLV files.
To do this select any .FLV file and on the Mac click Command-I.
When the Get Info Window opens click the Open with Pop-up Window and choose RealPlayer. Make sure you also click the Change All button to force RealPlayer to open all of videos. Now you can enjoy viewing all of your .FLV videos in RealPlayer SP.
The process is very similar for doing this on a MAC or PC.

Dreamweaver is great for authoring streaming video. So, if you need to start putting video content on-line then it’s a tool you should have in your arsenal. The application is featured in our 2-Day Video Streaming and Compression Trainings. One of the benefits of Dreamweaver is that is doesn’t insert a lot of unnecessary code. Also, if you’re authoring Flash content the task becomes a breeze. The tool automatically inserts the proper code whenever you insert a .SWF or .FLV file. You can use Dreamweaver to also authoring Windows Media, Real Media, QuickTime, and MPEG-4 content. Attend one of our Video Streaming and Compression Trainings to find out how to use the Dreamweaver and how to author your streaming video.

For those that are using the Windows 2003 Server and you desire to use the formats such as Flash (.FLV), and MPEG-4 and H.264 (.mp4) for download streaming you’ll need to add these MIME types to your server before you can stream your content.
Here’s a quick tutorial on how to do it:
Option #1 for Adding MIME types- at the Global Level
If you need to add a MIME type for a Web Server that uses IIS such as Windows 2003 Server first go to Administrative Tools and choose Internet Information Services (IIS). Once you get in the IIS Window you can add your MIME type by selecting the local computer and choosing the Action pull-down menu and selecting Properties.
Next go in and add your MIME type by clicking the MIME Types button.
Once in the MIME types dialog you can add your MIME type by clicking the New button and adding the format extension plus the MIME type. For example, for Flash Video you would type in .FLV for the extension and video/x-flv for the MIME type.
Option #2 for Adding MIME types – At the Web Directory level
For adding a MIME type at the Web Directory Level you go to Administrative Tools and choose Internet Information Services (IIS).
Select the Web Sites Folder in the IIS Manager and choose the Action Pull-down menu and select Properties.
Click the HTTP Headers Tab and go in and select the MIME Types button on the bottom of the dialog.
Now you can click the New button and add you MIME type. Use the same process you used for adding a MIME at the Global level.
