Re: FLASH: OT - Video compression..

[Michael@BTW]

I'll have another look at it, then. Most of the ASF stuff I see has lower

quality sound & video at a lower frame rate for a given data rate when

compared to Sorenson or mpeg1. Can you set the peak data rate, keyframes,

frame rate, etc. manually with WME? Export or import a series of frames? Add

titles, href and interactive flash tracks?


As far as doing short video pieces, why stream? Unless you don't want the

video copied, progressive download allows you to use a much higher data rate

and still have the video play in near real time, most of the time.

Do you have a link to them? I've been impressed with MeTV.com's asfs (and

the full screen feature is a real gee-whiz) by have been holding off on

putting stuff into ASF because of the low quality and the bugs (at least in

MCP's encoding of ASFs).
