I would not write off on2 codecs so fast.
h.264 cannot handle alpha channel transparency.
Also according to ON2’s press vp8 can compress file size more and produce better image quality than h.264
Also youtube’s choice was not made for quality sake…
I would think that youtube made the choice because of licensing and because iphone and ipod does not support flash and since the HQ format was initially conceived for the apple syndication partnership.

That is what I was referring to when I mentioned future on2 codecs.
Do you know of any applications using VP7 that have a license that is not restricted by the non commercial license which is the only one that on2 has released to the public on their own site?
Since the press in September I have not seen any… ON2 has not even updated their own software to encode with vp7 or vp8.
What solutions currently offer encoding with vp8 to the public?

Is money the only issue though?
What about supported codecs, quality, and file size?
Of course the main issue for large batch encoding that large companies might be doing is speed which in the case of hardware solutions is where they excel.
What hardware solutions do you consider the best options that support vp6s, vp6e, h.264 and will be progressive enough to quickly adopt future versions of the on2 codec?
My own experience is researching and testing software solutions for small companies and web publishers and though I have seen some more affordable hardware solutions that could appeal to this market the earliest versions of these devices relied heavily on presets and did not provide vp6 encoding.
I am interested in any you might recommend that you have experience with though if you’d like to share?

What you are missing is that this thread is about “compression” for “sites” not production for disney dvd distribution 😉

Daniel,
I am glad you found an encoding solution you like. I have been constantly testing solutions since 2003.
My own requirements and preferences are probably much different than yours.
Do you like coke or pepsi? I don’t drink neither.
As for your personal attacks on me…
Well you certainly are not here to make friends so I will make note to ignore you from here on out.
Good luck in your future communications with other people as you are a rude duck bent on wasting people’s time with drivel.

I have been using Sorenson for years. I was a beta tester for version 5 and love the software.
The company provides excellent support however the staff member who responded to my enquiry about alpha channel encoding was only able to answer it from a mac end and I need to know specifically how to encode an avi with alpha created with ultra… but that is not really relevant to this conversation.
What my post was trying to elaborate was that Sorenson while a great solution for small batches lacks the ability to take advantage of multi core computers to speed up the process.
So for large batch encoding such as thousands of files that may be indicative of needs of “big boys” ie larger companies Sorenson may not provide the speed needed to get the work done fast.
However for the individual… the price and quality of the product is unparalleled in this industry.
If the sole purpose of your post was to berate or belittle me for offering my opinion…
Well that’s not a great example of professionalism. I suggest you reconsider your approach to human relations.

Sorenson is one of the best encoding suites in the industry…
Most “big boys” do not even understand their own demographic when encoding and just assume what they are using is the best because of speed and percieved image quality at high bit rates.
For low bit rate encoding with higher image quality and smaller file sizes my own tests show that not much can out perform Sorenson.
The main limitation is that Sorenson 5 for PC does not perform any faster on a multi core computer because they do not have the technology in it to use the multiple processors.
So if you are a “little guy” doing small volume of encoding then Sorenson is likely the best and most affordable solution available that yields exceptional quality compression with the industry standard codecs like Main Concept h.264 and vp6
