donw scale an FLV file, help please

[Luis Ventura]

Hi there, i'm not shure if this question belongs to here but anyway i use APPRO CS with Matrox RTX2, i need to make some movies to the web so i was asked to create them in FLV, the question is that i want them to be 400 wide but when you export to FLV in 16:9 if you change one of the size parameters you don´t know the other one, so how do i calculate the real size so that it wont cut or show what i don´t want to? By the way when i compress what codec should i use? And the frame rate should i live 25fps?The audio file bitrate so that i have i nice audio quality without making the file to big?

Thank you for your help,

best regards,

Luís

Well to get 16*9 multiple 400 by 9 and divide by 16.

So you will be 400 wide and 225 tall... 400w*225h

If you want to hide certain things the next step would to be to use the crop tool in the encoder window.

For that size I would recomend the on2VP6 encoder and a bitrate of about 768K for the video. I am not sure without looking but the default audio should be fine.

Thank you Josh, I will try that.

Luis,
I export all of my product videos as FLVs at 400 x 225. You can see the result here. I get great quality and the buffer time is n/a once you hit "play."
