Sending Clients Flash Videos

[Sean Oneil]

I just read about some drawbacks with Flash 9/h264. You can’t embed a SWF file for one.

What really concerns me though is the CPU requirements for h264 in general. An old computer will not be able to handle it for sure.

The VP6 codec looks really good. To me it looks just as good as h264 for small size files. I think h264 is optimized for HD. I’m definitely not sending clients HD clips yet.

Sean,

I was going to switch to h.264 for my new website, which goes live tomorrow, but progressive download for Flash seems to work better, so I went with all Flash encoded in Flix Pro.
