You can upload them, but IMM won't give you the nice embed code for these types. IMM also won't convert them to flv. They'd just be stored in the same format that you upload them in.

Future version, perhaps, but I haven't had a particular need for any format other than FLV up to now.

It would be very much appreciated if a upload conversion tool would be implemented in your version....:)
Thanx anyways for a very nice tool:)

An upload conversion feature would require that you have ffmpeg installed on your server. In the past I have dabbled with upload conversion for videos on various projects but I found it quite difficult to get the settings optimal - to produce an FLV with maximum quality and minimum size. So for my personal practices I have resorted to using desktop apps to produce my FLV files the way that I want, and just upload those.

That said, it's not impossible, it just takes a will to do it I suppose.
