				Convert Video to .FLV?
			 
			
			I have many SD projects in Final cut pro, that I need to convert to .flv with some very specific settings: Constant Bit Rate VP6 codec progressive downloading, not streaming data rate of 400 kb/s audio compression of 64 kb/s What Mac program would you recommend for this? ffmpeg? Flash? Something else? I don't have much time and I'd like to know what works best. Thanks! |

			I like using After Effects CS. It did the best job of all I tried.

			Sorensen Squeeze with the professional codec plug-in works well.

			I don't think they are the same. I couldn't get the Flash encoder to look good at all. After Effects uses a version of the On2 encoder I think.

			I use On2 Flix Pro and Flix Exporter.  You can purchase these from On2.com.  Flix Pro is a standalone app, and Flix Exporter is a plug-in you can add to QT Pro, which gives you the export functionality of Flix Pro as export options from QT Pro. I recently purchased Sorenson Squeeze, which I understand will be able to use my On2 installation to add VP6 export options to the Squeeze Suite, but I haven't tried that yet. I did a lot of reading up on this some time ago, and read a detailed demo and review comparing the output quality between the On2 product and the options provided through the Adobe applications. I don't remember where I read it or what the link would be, but I do remember the end result stated that although there are a few advantages in some instances of the Adobe options, the better quality was generally achieved using the On2 Flix product. I am not sure if this was due to 2-pass options or something else because I can't remember what the limitations of the Adobe After Effects or Flash output were. -Jon

			This is not the review I noted in the above post, but it does give more information than I was able to give. http://www.studiodaily.com/studiomon.../hot/7744.html -Jon
