I have been using video in Flash since it was first introduced. So
I will tell you what I know from my experience. I agree with
Bjorn. The website he suggests is a great resource. I will also
point you to a website that allows you to make a side by side
comparison of codecs and bitrates. http://www.flashvideofaq.com/
IMHO, the On2 Flix Flash8 encoding solution will give you the best
quality. If you have a lot of videos, then you will definitely
want Sorenson Squeeze with the On2 codec plug in.
For a connection speed of 1mb I would recommend 872 kbps bit rate
for the video and for the audio 44100Hz sampling rate and 128kbps
bit rate. Video size 720w 480h or less. Encode with 2pass VBR for
progressive download or 2pass CBR for streaming.
The quality of the source video will have the greatest impact on
the quality of the output video more than codecs or bitrates. So
focus on that as much as you can.
Cheers,
Craig Clark
