All,

I've got a .flv video file with a website encoded near the end of the file. Is it common for .flv's to contain a website where they were downloaded from (or for websites to encode data inside the file when a user posts something to the site?)

Quick search on Google got me this…

Does your web site look anything like that?

Based upon the site design and scripting you can inject extra meta data into the FLV and include URL and many other information.

Thanks to both of you for helping. I did some testing and discovered the website was injecting meta data in to the FLV.
