Hello,

I am doing a little project for a lady’s website free of charge. She owns a non-profit business. She wants to organize some of her videos. I am not even sure what format the videos are in right now. I have been doing a little research and it looks like I want the .flv format. How can we get them into this format? I want to use thumbnails with a little description of the video, people would click on the jpeg (or whatever) thumbnail to see the video.

Can anyone give me some advice on this sort of thing? Point me in a direction? Good tutorials? Anything?

Thanks in advance.

MH
