Andy's FLV Joiner ----------------- MS Windows ® Win32 API, no other dependencies. Built and tested on WinXP Pro. Andrew Robinson (c) 2008-2010 What is it? A simple Flash Video file joiner. Tested on FLV1/H263, VP6, AVC/H264 flash video formats. What's so special about it? - tiny and fast - no quality loss - able to handle VFR files without sync problems - corrected timecode - free! Anything else? Files must be FLV format. The FLV container may include one of several codecs. Some YouTube HQ clips (AVC/H264) may be MP4 rather than FLV format. Use a program like Avidemux to join MP4 format files. Try and join similar file types. i.e. same codec, resolution, and fps, otherwise the joined file will revert to the first file's properties with unpredictable playback results. What Offline players do you recommend? For best compatibility, software that uses Adobe ActiveX Flash Player (FlashXX.ocx) Sothink FLV Player www.sothinkmedia.com (Adobe plugin) Media Player Classic Home Cinema mpc-hc.sourceforge.net Any DirectShow player (e.g. MPC) with FLVSplitter 1.0.0.5 and ffdshow (deblock postprocessing) FFPlay depends on build. e.g. SVN-r15986 3-Dec-08 (& presumably newer) works great MPlayer/MPUI www.mplayerhq.hu, mpui.sourceforge.net, mulder.at.gg Any Offline players to avoid? When last tested, VLC wouldn't play joined h264 clips correctly. It gets stuck on the join points. All other recommended players worked fine. Any other useful tools?
