720p HD + Flash Video Encoder = Painful

Friday, February 15, 2008   

I am taking some 720p content and ripping it to FLV (ya, I know, Flash can do HD, etc. but I need stuff to play decently on old crappy PCs), and the situation is awfully brutal. 1 hour 20 minutes to rip down a 5 min piece. Time for the weekend. I hope the settings were okay come Tuesday, or I'll have another rip to create. I should queue up a few then maybe and just take the best result. Ya. OOOOPS, it is running already, can't add another via drag & drop... I can through dialog though. There we go.

“Eric - if you have a lot to do, you should look at On2 Flix or Sorenson Squeeze. Both support multiple processors. The Flash video encoder is painful even on non-HD content.

Flix Standard is cheap.”

“One other thought, you could use something like ffmpeg to convert it down to an h264 MP4 stream. That conversion may be faster than Flash Media Encoder. Note that you will need a higher beta of FP9 to get the h264 to work. Quality will be superior.”

“I am using sorenson Squeeze to achieve mp4/avc or h.264, it really takes time but the result when you do a multipass compression is just amazing”
