Converting QT to Flash

[13]

Try Sorenson Squeeze

[John Fishback]

And use the On2 VP6 codec. It far surpasses the SparkPro codec both in quality and size. You can purchase a version of Squeeze for Flash only. The VP6 codec, however, is an additional purchase.

But remember that to use ON2VP6 the viewer needs to have the latest version of flash, not everyone has that, or can/want to downolad it.
It’s just like using H.264, you need QT7 to view those files. If your audience is bleeding edge, go for it. The quality
is so much better, if they’ll see it.

It’s true you need the latest Flash player. It’s easy to have your Flash application test for the version of Flash player on a user’s computer and offer a link to download the latest version. Here’s a part of an April 2006 Microsoft release about the use of Flash.

That’s true *if* someone in a company is allowed to download anything to their computer. It’s the same issue
with H.264 for QT and WM9, a lot of IT departments do not allow computer users on their network to DL stuff
because of the risks it includes. It’s not an issue at all for a home user or in a company without those restrictions,
so it depends on who your audience is (meaning, where they work). In my business I can’t risk that the 20-40% of people
*not* using Flash8 yet are the very ones I’m supposed to be reaching. I always doubt statistics when they come from
the company that produces the product; just because Adobe says it doesn’t make it true.
Here are some penetration stats from Adobe:
