.mpg -->.flv

[blue gekko]

I have a movie file that I recorded on my phone, and I wish to somehow change it into a flash animation. However, I cannot add the movie to Flash for some reason, maybe it's because the extension is .3gp.

If any more information is required, I will do my best to find out for you.

Thanks to all in advance!

If you have Flash 8 installed, then you should have the option under QT Pro to export to a FLV file. QT shouldn't have a problem loading those video files. (Flash 8 [and Adobe Flash CS3 Pro] come with an FLV export plugin that works with After Effects, Final Cut Pro, Quicktime Pro & Avid Xpress DV)

Ooooh, maybe because I don't have QT Pro, and I don't have After Effects, Final Cut Pro or Avid Xpress DV. But surely that's not the only way to do what I'm trying to do.

Any other ideas?

You can convert just about anything to FLV (or many other formats) with ffmpegX.

It's also possible other QuickTime-based apps that aren't crippled like Apple's non-Pro QuickTime Player would work. QTAmateur is a good one.
