“Giveaway of the Day” recently listed several Sothink products, and one of them is a Video to Flash Converter –Sothink Video Encoder for Adobe Flash. It is really appreaciated that a lot of users gave nice words to this FLV Encoding software.
Sothink Video Encoder for Adobe Flash wins more and more users and it indeed does a good job in Flash video encoding. Let’s see what users talked about it:
“Yet another sothink program. They make GREAT stuff! Good job getting this in the line-up!”

“I highly recommend this program i have used it since version 2.3. There is a video example of a video encoded in this program. I was able to match the colors perfectly with my site.”

“This is comparable to similar apps, easy to use, a fair number of options. Instead of clicking the output links, you can right-click to open the output folder. As with all multimedia apps, it has the potential to mess up some of your codecs/filters; I noticed some changes. Mostly, it uses the rather old ffdshow. It’s not clear whether the installer has brains enough to check for some codecs, I skipped some but it said it was installing one I already had, but it didn’t. Also includes the optional Sothink FLV Player, same version as the previous SourceTec Sothink giveaways. See #9, Gio, for several other freeware converters with more output options.
Some FYI information regarding finding recently modified items for those using Windows Search 4 and IE8 (I’m using Vista, but some of this may be applicable to XP). The Vista Start Menu shows Recent Items. Like everything else on the Start Menu, you can right-click and Open or Explore for a larger, sortable list. The IE8 History shows not only URLs, but modified local files, even if they weren’t accessed via IE8. These will open in IE8 if it handles them, otherwise in their default app. Protected Mode apparently must be off in the Local Intranet Security Zone, which is the default. From Vista Explorer you have access to several types of Recent-item Searches. What I frequently find most useful is the Indexed Locations Search; Explorer must be set to display hidden files and folders. As with most Explorer views, this can be sorted by date. As with all things Microsoft, what does and does not show up in the various lists can be unexpected (and shortcuts may no longer be valid), and of course only things which have been indexed show up in indexed lists.”

“Smooth install on XP SP3, runs great, tested it with an .avi that I got (very surprisingly) poor results using Format Factory to create a .flv video of. It automatically, after a few steps with a low learning curve, converted it to .flv, .swf, and .html and created a .jpg thumbnail and saved them all in the source folder. The quality on all of them was excellent. It doesn’t get any easier then this program. Two thumbs up, and a huge thank you to SourceTec/SoThink and GOTD!!!”

“Sure, there are a lot of similar freeware programs out there, and I gave them a try before buying this one (several months ago). Why? Because it actually works, and does what I need. There a lot of settings. You have control over bitrate, which has a ton to do with final quality but the higher it is, the bigger the file. The control bar really is just that. The others have the usual, play, pause, etc. etc., but what I like the best about this one, is the capability to grab the slider and move to any frame you want or go back and forth with the image real quick just because you can and it looks cool. Being able to go frame by frame is great. The control bar itself comes with a good variety of styles. I use it on my weather site for the time lapses. The .AVI the cams put out are around 12mb. This compresses them to about 4mb, with good enough video quality. Flash files take a few seconds to load, but once they do, this encoder makes for a smooth show. It’s installed on XP 64.”
