FLV Question for Mac guys
 

I'm using Final Cut Pro to cut all my stuff, when I send it over to convert it i get the best quality with full sized MP4 but damn the size sucks. Whats the best way to get my videos from FCPro to a quality looking FLV?

You can use ffmpegx if you want a free solution but I always found the results to be not as good as some of the commercial apps.

I have used Flix from On2 in the past with very good results.

You can experiment with the the custom settings for mp4. Try lowering the bit rate (data rate) a bit or increasing key frames. Play with it a it until you get a good balance of quality and file size.

The encoding engine for FCP isn't the best but still far better than some of the free solutions. I use Episode Pro for all my encoding, hit me up on ICQ if you need some setting recommendations.

I bought it a couple of weeks ago - it's really really good (and affordable).

Flash comes with something called "Adobe Flash Video Encoder" or something to that effect. It seems to do the job for me. There's also FFMPEG.

What he said, awesome program.

I have adobe flash encoder for PC on my parallels however I was told not to use it. Gotta love people and bad advice.
