Hi, how can I do that if a user upload an mp4 I didn't convert to flv and I use this file to show the video?
I want this because an 30seconds mp4 size is about 50MB the same in flv is 103MB ...
Thanks

As far as I know (could someone from Kaltura please confirm?), all media on Kaltura is stored as FLV's. At the moment, I don't think there is a way to do what you want...

Chris - this is not accurate.

Few notes -

  1. Flash doesn't playback all h.264 files "out of the box" (you need to move the atom field to the top of the file, not all profiles are supported)... So the file must be validated (and maybe converted) to be played in Flash.
  2. KalturaCE Server doesn't provide OOB Red5 integration yet, you will have to patch integration yourself. The playback is done by progressive download.
  3. However, KalturaCE server does natively support various conversion profiles (via API) so you can host mp4 and playback mp4 streams - but will have to configure your profile for it.
