Flash Player compatibility with encoded FLV files

Flash Player 7 supports FLV files that are encoded with the Sorenson™ Spark™ video codec. Flash Player 8 supports FLV files encoded with Sorenson Spark or On2 VP6 encoder in Flash Professional 8. The On2 VP6 video codec supports an alpha channel. Different Flash Player versions support FLV in different ways. For more information, see the following table:

Codec	SWF file version (publish version)	Flash Player version required for playback
Sorenson Spark	6	6, 7, or 8
	7	7, 8
On2 VP6	6	8*
	7	8
	8	8

*If your SWF file loads an FLV file, you can use the On2 VP6 video without having to republish your SWF file for Flash Player 8, as long as users use Flash Player 8 to view your SWF file. Only Flash Player 8 supports publish and playback of On2 VP6 video.
