I use Final Cut Pro, which doesn’t like M2T files. So using Clipwrap or a similar app to get it in as a QT is necessary.

I stole it from an old Philip Hodgett post, so….. be my guest!
And if you do give credit, please don’t say “I got this from Ed, who stole it from Philip. 🙂

The only problem with Mike and Arnie’s solutions is that you say the flickering is only in the background, not the foreground. If you add de-flickering or strobe (which would help some, but not too much anyway),
you’ll partially fix the strobing background, but make your unstrobing foreground start to strobe/flicker. Either you have to isolate the background and try the filters on just that, or use the Reshoot Filter, which always works.
And, as Mike said, setting the shutter speed to the flourescent flicker rate (or double the rate) will make it go away. For instance, when I shoot in 50Hz countries, I set the shutter to around 100 for flourescent.

Several years? We’ll be colonizing Jupiter, or at least time-traveling by then. You don’t want to miss *that* in HD. 🙂

And to repeat what someone else alluded to, what hard drive are you trying to play this from? If you answer “my internal system hard drive”
then that’s your problem, get it onto a RAID (a fast one, as has been said).

Pick an H.264 Download preset you like, duplicate it and change the size to 854×480.

This one (audio loses sink) made me laugh out loud, sort of in the Eats, Shoots, and Leaves vein. 🙂

Or you can encode an H.264 file out of FCP, QT, or Compressor which can be read by Flash. Even if you create an FLV you still need it in a SWF (or referenced by a SWF) on a website. H.264 can be referenced the same way, albeit for viewers with Flash 9 Update 3 and later. Do a search for H.264 in Flash and you’ll find a lot of hits.

I put a new 200 gig drive in my MBP (pre-unibody model) using the same video. It went very easy except for temporarily losing one small screw when it attached itself to the magnet in the MBP latch. 🙂

We had to compress WMV files to WM7 long after it looked worse than anything else because of big corporate clients. As I said in my post, I wish we were one big happy family, but until we are we have to give our clients what they want, regardless of their backward ways. The corporate world is very, very different than average civilians. We even have corporate clients who have the latest and greatest at thier home offices, but still insist on old codecs because their other offices aren’t up to date. As for whether the new ON2VP6 codec is available, it comes with every compression tool sold since they improved it that has ON2VP6, and it plays in any player that plays the older one, same codec, better performance.
