    Hi Guys:

    I generally use the .wmv format in Video Vegas 8 to produce video clips for the CD of DVD platforms. Can I use the same .wmv format for http or streaming video on the web? Are there any additional settings in Vegas that are necessary to adjust .wmv for http or streaming video? Do you recommend the .wmv format for the web? I see a lot of Flash Player movies on the web. Does Vegas 8 or 9 have the capability to render as .FLV?

    Thank you, John

    I would recommend you take those WMV files you already have, sign up for an account at blip.tv or vimeo (I prefer blip.tv as they do not limit your uploads per week like vimeo) and upload them there. They will do the flash conversion for you and host your original wmv file. You can then embed either into your site- the original wmv or the flv file. What is nice about this is that they handle all of the traffic for you. You can even mark the videos private if you want. In addition, if you want to upload a higher quality flv file, you can do that as well if you are not satisfied with their conversion.

    However, Vegas 8 does not do native flash conversions but there are cheap alternatives out there (and free ones too).
