The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Video Conversion Problem Using WinFF to Convert WMV to Flash FLV

Asked by Pete2009 in Adobe Flash, Web Authoring, Video Editing, Digital Music and Video

Tags: windows media file, wmv, flv, video conversion, stream video

Hello,

I have a 68 MB WMV file that is a recording of a webinar held on GoToMeeting. I want to make it available on a UNIX-hosted website. From various other posts I read on EE I see the value of converting it to flash. I use Dreamweaver 8 to create and manage my web pages so presumably once it is in FLV format I will be able to insert it onto a page using Dreamweaver.

I downloaded WinFF and installed it. When I try to do the conversion I receive these messages, ending in a conversion error:


C:\Program Files\WinFF>chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252

C:\Program Files\WinFF>title Converting DiversityWebinar.wmv (1/1)

One post suggested changing the extension from WMV to ASF. I tried that and I get the same result.

Can anyone provide insight into what is happening and how to get the file converted to FLV format?

Thanks.
