flash video player

I'm thinking about making a video player in flash (not FLV) and i was wondering how i would go about doing this. all i've seen are things about flv. i hope some of the flash experts could help (blizzard). ;)

It's not Blizzard's advice, but maybe this (http://chrisbrimelow.com/blog/?p=15) can help?

I do a couple things differently in my video player than Chris Brimelow shows in this example, however it's solid code. It's in AS3, by the way.

Lee Brimelow (the Brimelows have the Flash video player online tutorial market covered) has many video tutorials on creating a flash video player at gotoandLearn() (http://gotoandlearn.com/). The last 8 tutorials would be of interest to you. He does use FLVs in his tutorials. But the code can be easily "adjusted" to accept different compatible formats. These examples are in AS2.

If you care about quality of video, I'd recommend going with AS3 and H.264 encoded video. Flash Player 8 and below don't support H.264, so you'll need to AS3 (and Flash Player 9) for this.

Let me know if you need any specific advice on how to apply any of that code.
