This video to Flash encoder converts almost all formats of video and audio to Flash video and the output files formats include FLV, SWF, HTML and JPG (thumbnail image).

FLV: FLV (Flash Video) is a proprietary file format used to deliver video over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player (also called Macromedia Flash Player) version 6 and above. FLV content may also be embedded within SWF files. Notable users of the FLV format include Google Video, Reuters.com, YouTube and MySpace.

SWF: SWF is a proprietary vector graphics file format produced by the Flash software from Adobe (formerly Macromedia). Intended to be small enough for publication on the web, SWF files can contain animations or applets of varying degrees of interactivity and function. The Flash program produces SWF files as a compressed and uneditable final product, whereas it uses the .fla format for its editable working files.

HTML: Hypertext Marked Language is a simple marked language that is used to make hypertext document.
