I’ve had some awesome results using Episode Pro to create FLVs – don’t expect much in the way of support though – I’ve had problems even finding a decent user forum in times of trouble!
That said, however, it’s mostly good experiences. VERY quick, GREAT results and it integrates with compressor (according to the website!).
Not that expensive either.

We use Sorenson Squeeze. There’s a version just for Flash so you don’t have to purchase the entire encoding package. Just make sure whatever system you use to have the On2 VP6 plugin. It makes a tremendous visual improvement.

Yeah – the On2 VP6 codec does make a huge difference. It comes packaged with Episode Pro. I used to use Squeeze years ago when i was still outputting to Sorenson 3, great piece of software.

vp6 is great, vp7 is very much better tho, but still PC only (despite all the promises) … the vp8 codec, overdue for release, is even better still (or so “they” say) but remains PC only

I hate that! i guess i could always use it via parallels, but still, it’s another step in a chain that works pretty well as it is

I noticed that – but hardy anyone uses MPEG-1 round here. 😉

All these suggests are good but I don’t think there is anything out there that is going to compress a 5 min video to 5-10 MB, getting it down to 30MB and liking the quality sounds good to me.

If you really need to get the size down, you might want to consider reducing the frame rate. 24 or even as low as 15 fps doesn’t look all that bad over the internet. But I would say that 10MB for 5 minutes is about what you can expect.
