Yes, the quality of H.264 is better (especially dual-pass) at the same bitrate as a VP6 .flv. Also, most encoding applications will let you limit the bitrate to whatever you want. Want 512kbps? Just set it to 512.
Here's a recent video I did encoded at 732kbps (including 128kbps audio). It's 640x360, 24fps. http://michaelverdi.com/index.php/2009/03/10/hanging-out/ The cool thing is that it plays in a flash player on the site, works on an iPod/iPhone and is just one file. - Verdi On Sat, Mar 14, 2009 at 10:52 AM, Stan Hirson, Sarah Jones <shir...@taconic.net> wrote: > --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jay dedman <jay.ded...@...> wrote: > >> Verdi wrote a post about this here: >> http://reports.graymattergravy.com/2008/03/16/flash-h264/ >> >> Jay > > The video in the post looks great, but it is encoded at "about 1100kbps" and > I try to keep my Flash videos at a bitrate of 512 kbs in order to accommodate > progressive downloading for DSL users.
