FLV or DivX?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Nineteen85 · 11-19-2008, 09:06 AM

I'm setting up 4 new sites and I'm having embeded video trailers on all 4 sites.

My question is which is the best format to use FLV or DivX

I'm not talking in terms of quality, more in terms of compatibility with visitors browsers.

Any help would be great

Thanks

FLV for compatibility win

Quality matters more than quickness, especially with short trailers. I use Adobe Flash Encoder using the On2 VP6 codec. Or you may try Sorenson Squeeze or Videocharge or Flix Pro.

Riva FLV Encoder

Take a look at http://www.applian.com/replay-converter/index.php

Don't know if it's "The Best", but worked quite well for me ~2 years ago

doridori · 11-19-2008, 09:38 AM

flv....divx is going down the drain....now with h.264 (x264) codec support for flv

BSleazy · 11-19-2008, 09:38 AM

There's a free one available called SUPER. If you do a search in google you can find it. It's not all that great but it works.

Exactly.

DA MAN has spoken.

dready · 11-19-2008, 09:55 AM

I'd go with H.264 for something that will last, and quality, but for current compatibility, FLV wins hands down.

Zorgman · 11-19-2008, 10:07 AM

I agree. FLV

All of them are "quick" its your computer processor speed that will make the difference. I run a dual core Athlon 4800+ and the converter does a 4 minute WMV in about 15 seconds. My old computer it took almost 30 minutes.

Upgrade your computer if it takes too long... seriously.

DutchTeenCash · 11-19-2008, 10:19 AM

divx or HQ wmv

germ · 11-19-2008, 12:54 PM

FLV FTW

hornycult · 11-19-2008, 12:58 PM

FLV and option for downloading WMV

Nordicprofits · 11-19-2008, 01:52 PM

go for flv

doridori · 11-19-2008, 01:52 PM

the only problem i have with h.264 in flv is that you need a pretty powerful server to encode (ffmpeg x264), and encoding takes a lot longer....however you end up with (almost all the time), with lower video size and higher quality.

also if the end-user's computer is very slow, then he will have problems watching it.

FreeHugeMovies · 11-19-2008, 02:14 PM

FLV not even a question

DIVX=spyware and are spyware supporters.

Arnjen · 11-19-2008, 04:03 PM

FLV all the way best would be to stream the flv samples with flash media server3 ;)

markuskulit · 12-02-2008, 08:19 PM

Divx will eventually try to sue you unless you buy their liscense. Thats why deluxe pass went to xvid years ago. They got threatened by divx, but they had the infrastructure to re-render 10,000 dvds to xvid from divx. Im sure divx was pissed because they saw a cash cow slip through their fingers... Trust me..

flv since it works on all platforms thanks to adobe flash player...

qxm · 12-03-2008, 04:08 AM

.... mm for web embeds FLV is a sure winner... if encoding files for the members area (downloads) then DivX, Avi, MPG, WMV or H.264

The same is true of H.264.

Flash player 9.0.115 as of Sep '08 has 90% penetration.
