1.4 New Codecs & Container Formats
Flix Engine 8.0.17.0 supports the html5 ready WebM container using VP8 and Vorbis.
Flix Engine 8.0.10.0 now supports MPEG-4 Part 10 standard, commonly known as H.264. Specifically,
Flix Engine can now encode video using the H.264 codec and audio using AAC / AAC+, in addition to the
already available encoders:
On2 VP6 and H.263 video, and MP3 and AMR-NB audio.
Accordingly, Flix Engine is now able to produce the common MPEG-4 container formats, MP4, MOV and
3GPP2.
Another new capability of Flix Engine 8.0.10.0 is the
VP6_S encoding profile, which is optimized for
encoding higher resolution material destined for playback in low-resource environments, such as older
PCs. The standard VP6 encoding profile (VP6_E) is the default. See FE2_VP6_PROFILE in the API
reference.
1.4.1 Flash Player Support and AVC Licensing
Please note carefully that, at this writing, no Flash Player release supports MPEG-4 streams. We have
added these new codecs and capabilities to Flix Engine in anticipation of our users’ future needs, and to
expand choice.
Also note that the distribution of AVC/H.264-encoded media is not royalty-free in many cases.
Be sure to comply with the H.264 licensing terms available at http://www.mpegla.com and
http://www.vialicensing.com.
A longer discussion of technical and licensing issues is available at On2.com.
