Adobe Media Encoder

This simple encoding application can convert video (and/or audio) into many formats, but is primarily used to convert video files to the Flash format .flv or .f4v. PRO TIP: Converting content to flash is not necessary to upload your video to hosting services like Youtube.com or Vimeo.com.

Pros:

• Easy drag & drop system.
• Allows encoding to popular .f4v and .flv Flash video formats.

Cons:

• Video encoding can be very time-consuming.
