  • Confused about H.264 for Flash using Squeeze5

    Posted by Jim Cutler on May 26, 2008 at 5:42 pm

    Would someone please be able to tell me which preset to choose in Squeeze5 to convert NTSC DV to H.264 for the web so it will be played by the new Adobe Flash player? I’m a long time Squeeze user and have done a ton of reading including https://www.kaourantin.net/2007/08/what-just-happened-to-video-on-web_20.html . But picking the right H.264 (MPEG or Quicktime?) encoding, codec (Main Concept?) inside Squeeze5 is an uncertainty. Finally, which file extension should the compressed H.264 for Flash result in for adding to a webpage to be recognized by the newest Adobe Flash player?

    I’m sure this has been covered to death, please forgive me. I can guess but would like to start off right with H.264 for Flash. A short answer with the correct preset would really help me. Thank you in advance.

    I don’t use Squeeze so I can’t point you towards the correct preset, H.264 flash usually has the extension of .f4v

    Mainconcept H.264 usually produces quality output than Quicktime H.264

    I believe Flash will accept both .mp4 and .mov H264 also.

    Squeeze 5 uses .f4v. Make sure you use Format Constraints Adobe Flash F4V
