Macrdobemedia decided that the existing codec, even though comparable to Quicktime, was still not as optimized as they would like, thus the new codec On2.
Flash 7's Codec isn't forward compatible obviously, so it can't render new Flash 8 video because the compression is different. !k -----Original Message----- From: Ben Nadel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 12:50 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Video Russ, I appreciate that advice, but it is a bit lost on me. I have been using the Flash 8 Video Encoder. When I add a movie and show the advanced settings, it uses the On2 VP6 codec. The other one is Sorenson Spark... And when I select it, the quality jumps to Flash 7... That's what you are referring to, correct? What is Riva? Is that a third party software? Thanks. ........................

If you encode it using the flash 7 codec, it should play in most browsers, but the quality/filesize would suck. I suggest using Riva which uses the flash 7 codec, but does good compression so that the quality doesn't' look crappy.
