Howdy monks.
nice site. i've been writing translators in perl which write flash swf files. Basically stuff like the module Flash::Perl or Perl::Flash. whichever, it doesn't work anyway.
My path has been fun reverse engineering gif and jpg files, wav files were a blast (NOT!).
Anyway, i'm setting down the road to tackling the new flv video format. I know it uses the sorenson flash codec which has no documentation findable by me.
Ideally i could have perl run the foreign decoder (Sorenson) on a win2k platform and then grab the first image it outputs, and so on. I've heard that the video is frame x frame bmp's with the compression on top.
ouch, i don't know where to begin.

hep me hep me.
