Is it easy to convert video to flash movies?

For members areas, the only reason I want to do this is because I'm sooooooooo tired of dealing with videos not playing right, Different formats, encoding, codecs, blah blah.

With flash everyone can see everything, just like youtube.
Is it easy to convert any video to flash? or is it difficult to do that?

Try looking at www.flash-video-mx.com and
http://www.pinnaclesys.com - the Studio 12 Ultimate - it exports in the following formats:
VideCD (VCD) or S-VCD with optional CD burner (CD-R or CD-RW)

AVCHD*, Blu-ray BD*, HD-DVD*, DVD* disc with optional disc burner (incl. dual layer)

Apple iPod and Sony PSP compatible (MPEG-4) formats* DV, HDV, AVI, DivX*, RealVide® 8, WMV, MPEG

Flash, 3GP*, WAV, MP3* files
Dolby® Digital 2 channel* and 5.1 channel audi*

If you have a large volume of videos to transcode to Flash, you might want to check out Sorenson Squeeze. I think they have a special, stripped-down flash-only version fairly cheap. It uses a good codec, handles large batches (including auto-uploading to your server when encoding is complete) and is simple to use.

$199

another vote for http://www.flash-video-mx.com/ if you don't have tons of videos to do.

I've never used Squeeze but have used Flash Video MX Pro. After a few trial and error sessions, I was able to figure out it's batch encoder too.

I came across this just yesterday and looked pretty decent.

I use Flash Video MX Pro

Thank you very much everyone. Im checking these all out.

MPEG Stream Clip for OSX is free, and does a great job making flash video.

I don't suppose any of you using Flash Video MX would consider posting links to your sites? I'm curious to see this in real world action.
