No with Flash 8 for encoding.

I just got FCP HD... fairly "intimidating" piece of software. I went with iMovie because I know it so well. Doing HD interlaced fore DVDs is one thing... getting the same content to run smoothly on the web is another?

Lots to learn.

Like often with encoding. But I can't really tell anything about iMovie, at work we use Final Cut. Always a good idea to take an even ratio for the resizing like 1:2 (50%), smarter from a mathematical point of view.
You are encoding as Flash 7 right?

Perhaps you just need this: Good luck experimenting.

Alexander -

I think you might be right about the interlacing. When I run the "original" from iMovie HD in 1080 it looks OK... no Ghosts.

So I'm in expert mode in iMovie while exporting... and using the deinterlace switch. The question is what best compression to use for a 700/800 wide picture when the original is 1900 pixels?

This appears to be a trial and error process

Alexander Bethke said the following:
You might try deinterlacing your material before the encoding. At least I can see two movement phases when looking at a still from your material. This will increase the efficiency of the encoding process and make a sharper picture. ffmpeg for instance has a -deinterlace parameter. Deinterlacing is usually recommended when showing material on a computers screen only.

Otherwise I might be wrong and you did actually deinterlace. Then it is not really a good one, or the "ghoust image" problem comes from something else. Then I do not want to have said anything.

I have been shooting 1080i and have been playing with format (down-size to 720p) via Compressor to get a suite spot for good performance/quality.

Right now my large format in a flv is 720 x420 with either 30 FPS or 24 FPS. The file is around 55--> 60 mb (compressed from the original 5.7 Gb!).

So are there any rules of thumb for frame rates, compression flv encodings to take the high end 1080i and get good quality/performance.

What I'm seeing is occasional blurring of the image in the 720 x 420 format.

You can see what I'm talking about at <http://infinitymedialabs.com/copper/choppers/2007> Click on videos tab. Hit connect and select Week1_Large.flv

I'm running 0.5 version of Red5.

This could be because I'm streaming a large file?
