How does ESPN Do it?
I was browsing the ESPN site the other day and I noticed a small streaming video clip on their website. The picture quality was amazing and it streamed without buffering on my end.
My company encodes video for the web for others to view and it no way looks close to the detailed hight quality of that clip on ESPN!
How are they doing that? The clips are crystal clear and don’t seem to be that big of a file?

ESPN uses Flash video files. As far as I know, only Flash Video Encoder will transcode them well. They are great. Small files, and crystal clear. In my opinion, they are much better than any codec Quicktime or Windows Media has come out with. h.264 is nice and small, but has real trouble being decoded by slow PCs. Flash files seem to playback well on just about anything.

I might add that you don’t have to deal with the QT/Mac, WMV/PC struggle as long as the flash plug in is there.
Works great for my stuff!
