I don't know much about the best settings to use for encoding FLVs
but what I can tell you is that the
creative digital video will get much better quality for a given data
rate for a number of reasons
- Their video window is smaller than yours - yours is 4:3 their is
much more letterbox shaped
- Your video includes panning - this means changing the whole scene -
takes up lots of data
- Their video actually has a very small area which changes. Given
that the whole purpose of the site is
to push broadband video they may even have fudged it by using still
backdrops and then smaller video clips
on top rather than just one long video.
Try encoding some "talking head" video without any pans or cuts and
you'll get much better quality for
your data rate.
Hope this is helpful
Cheers
Joe
