Setup folder and files

  1. Log on to your server with Administrator privilege.
  2. Download Flash Video Encoder and install it on your Web server.
  3. Find the file fvec-asp-demo.zip file in the installation folder of Flash Video Encoder for Adobe Flash (Command-Line Version); Open it with WinZip and extract the files to a sub-folder under your wwwroot folder, for example, c:inetpubwwwrootfvec.

    Assign "full control" permission to account "IUSR_COMPUTERNAME" for folder"c:inetpubwwwrootfvecfiles". By default, video files uploaded by users and encoded *.flv files will be stored in this folder.
  6. Assign "full control" permission to account "IUSR_COMPUTERNAME" for file "c:inetpubwwwrootfvecfvec.mdb". In this demo site, we use Microsoft Access database to simplify the configuration. If you would like to use other databases, for example, SQL Server or Oracle, you can open the file db.inc and modify the database provider and connection string yourself.
