Dave, All FLV file sizes are dependent on those encoding properties. Those variables are what create the variance in file sizes. The KeyFrame interval for instance will increase or decrease file size depending on the amount of interpolation required between each keyframe. If you have a keyframe every third frame for instance, you will create a much larger video in terms of file size than one with set to a keyframe value of say one every 30 frames

Thanks for the replies. However, it still doesn't make sense to me! A 30 seconds video encoded with a total data rate (video + audio) of 700 kilobits/second should result in an FLV that weighs 2.56 MegaBytes no matter what the other settings are. But that's not the case. If I encode that 30 second video @ 700 kilobits/second and try to adjust the other settings (keyframe interval, frame size, fps, etc.) differently, I get FLV files that vary in terms of total file size depending on those other settings. Shouldn't all those FLV files be 2.56 Megabytes but vary in terms of image quality ONLY and not in terms of file size? Please help!!! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
