Riva FLV Encoder 2.0

Since the launching of the YouTube video sharing website, similar sites appear more and more. Despite the fact that these sites are different from each other, the technology behind them is pretty much the same. They all use the Adobe Flash technology for playing files. Basically, FLV files are being used everywhere. These files can be generated by most of the video applications on the market and are ideal for web playback, as they are small in size and still have good video and audio quality. Virtually, anyone can use this technology for playing videos on his personal website, for example. But despite the fact that the number of FLV encoders is quite large, only some of them really do their job how they should and feature all the required options and functions. One such program is Riva FLV Encoder. The program can convert a wide range of video files into FLV format, using various settings.

The installation process of Riva FLV Encoder is point and click and completes in no time. Almost any Windows operating system is supported for running the program, including XP and Windows 7.

The interface of Riva FLV Encoder allows easy adding of video files. The program includes some presets that automatically change all the quality settings for the FLV file. The user can also change all the settings manually. After making the necessary modifications regarding audio and video quality, all there's left to do is push the encoding button and that's it. The result of the encoding process will be displayed in the lower part of the interface.

The software package also features a FLV player, that has some basic controls and it's good enough for the majority of users.
