F4Pack

F4Pack is a GUI around the f4f File Packager offline commandline tool from Adobe, used for HTTP Dynamic Streaming.

Adobe® HTTP Dynamic Streaming is a solution that allows you to stream live and on-demand content over HTTP to Adobe® Flash® Player 10.1 and AIR 2. When content streams over HTTP, clients can seek quickly to any location. HTTP Dynamic Streaming supports adaptive (multi-bitrate) streaming, DVR functionality, and Adobe® Flash® Access™ protection.
