1-5 minutes of video?
by Aaron Porteous on May 5, 2008 at 3:10:00 pm

Hi, currently I am building flash websites for clients and each of them open with a video while the site loads. This method has been working okay using the FLV component. I just wonder why my video looks choppy and doesn't always load on everyone's browser? I'm new to this, but I have a couple questions (maybe you can point me in the right direction if another thread already addresses this, I just don't have time to browse)


What I do now:

I work in an all mac environment, using a quad G5. I edit my video in Final Cut, then use quicktime conversion to output to .mov (deinterlaced), then export to FLV using quicktime player. My FLV settings:

Video encoded for playback with Flash Player 8 or higher
Video: On2 VP6 at 700kbps
Video Options: Deinterlace
Audio: MPEG Layer III (MP3) at 96kbps (stereo)
Resize: Width=75%; Height=75% Respect aspect ratio

And I may crop the left and right sides if the dv footage created black lines.




Questions:
1. What is the best compression software (and process) for what I am doing?

2. Is flash the best way to display video online?

3. Why is my video choppy?

4. How do I get the best resolution, the best clarity, at the fastest loading time? (Currently I download from server, I don't know how to stream)
