I saw that Youtube and Facebook can play AVI files. Is it possible to write a decoder in action script to read avi files?

So now we are thinking to customize videojs flash player to reproduce the AVI files, but because we don't have too much experience with video programming and flash, we don't know if this is possible. We also tried to use FFMPEG's copy command (which is much faster), but the video always crashes at some point (mainly when we need to navigate in its timeline) and we don't know why. Our first attempt was to use FFMPEG to convert the files to mp4 (or webm or ogg), but this process takes too long because we have to do it everyday with a really huge amount of videos. We are trying to negotiate it with the manufacturer to change the file format to mp4, but until now we have nothing.īecause of this, we are trying another manners to make it work. These files are recorded by a hardware whose firmware we don't have access to.

My team needs to develop a system that plays avi files on the web.
