Convert to .flv HELP!!!!!!!!!!

	Re: Convert to .flv HELP!!!!!!!!!! by John Fishback on Jun 30, 2009 at 3:11:49 pm I'm not familiar with Prism. I use Sorenson Squeeze to encode flvs. My suggestion is export a QT ref or self-contained mov and then use Compressor to make an h.264 file. In the Inspector, in the Frame Controls tab, turn on Frame Controls and select Best for all quality settings. Set your web frame size and datarate. A higher datarate produces a higher quality result. After the encode, simply change the .mov extension of the encoded file to .flv and you should be good to go.

	Re: Convert to .flv HELP!!!!!!!!!! by John Fishback on Jun 30, 2009 at 5:06:36 pm Compressor will produce a higher quality result. FCP's scaler is nowhere near as good as Compressor's. This is why you switch on Frame Controls and select Best for the quality settings in Compressor.

	Re: Convert to .flv HELP!!!!!!!!!! by walter biscardi on Jun 30, 2009 at 3:18:06 pm The cleanest video will be taking your original FCP quicktime and making the flash directly. We use both Telestream Episode Pro and Adobe's Flash Encoder to do this, though mostly Episode Pro.

	Re: Convert to .flv HELP!!!!!!!!!! by david bogie on Jun 30, 2009 at 4:06:34 pm You could try the newest trick, too. Just export as H.264 and change the extension on the file to .flv. Flash Player 9 and up will play the files. We love this. But our IT geeks freak out because the video is so clean, they think we're using too much bandwidth. bogiesan Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Convert to .flv HELP!!!!!!!!!! by john Sellman on Jun 30, 2009 at 6:59:25 pm I second that. Export h.264.mov and change .mov to .flv. I've been doing this for a while and it works. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Convert to .flv HELP!!!!!!!!!! by John Fishback on Jun 30, 2009 at 9:24:32 pm flv is a codec. It's not mpeg-4. Neither is it h.264. The latest Flash Player, however, plays both the flv codec AND the h.264 codec. That is why if you make an h.264 mov and change the .mov to .flv, it will play in Flash Player.
